consolidating its position as the third main political party. the poll of over 2000 uk adults found that 39% would vote for laboun found that 39% would vote for labour, 24% would vote in conservative and 13 would vote reform uk, while 10% would vote lib dem and 4% green, with 3% going to the snp. and that comes as rishi sunak says, a victory for labour in this week's election would see britain's borders become the soft touch of europe. he was campaigning in oxfordshire today, the prime minister insisting flights to rwanda are an essential deterrent for illegal migrants coming to britain. and he warned that other parties have failed to put forward credible alternatives. meanwhile, sir keir starmer has said today he'll have to make the tough choices he needs to deal with a very difficult inheritance if he wins power. on thursday, the leader also said a clear mandate needed to repair britain's economy and warns apathy could lead to another five years of
3:01 am
the conservatives meanwhile, sir ed davey is urging voters to take the plunge and do something they've never done before by voting for the liberal democrats. take a look at this 321 bungee. if you're watching on television, you will see the party's leader took part in a bungee jump, urging voters to take a similar leap of faith when they head to the polls on thursday. he thinks people who are disillusioned by the conservatives should consider voting for his . party. now, as voting for his. party. now, as you've been hearing in the united states, the supreme court has ruled that former presidents are immune from prosecution for some actions taken while in office. the decision throws out a judicial decision that rejected donald trump's bid to shield himself from criminal charges relating to his attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss. that decision today in the united states by the supreme court means that former
3:02 am
presidents can be immune for some actions taken within their constitutional authority, but for not actions they may take in a private capacity . and just a private capacity. and just lastly, for you, tennis champion emma raducanu has beaten mexico's renata zarazua in the first round of wimbledon, the classic british tennis tournament opening up today with reigning men's champion alcaraz looking to retain his title . looking to retain his title. andy murray is expected to decide possibly tonight , decide possibly tonight, possibly tomorrow, whether or not he'll make the final singles appearance for his fans or whether he'll join his brother in the doubles. the two time former champion has been in a race against time since struggling with a back injury. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm polly middlehurst and i'm back in an houn middlehurst and i'm back in an hour. see you then . 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

the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> thank you polly. now i was lucky enough to attend the formula one in austria this weekend, where i was surrounded by around 300,000 racing fans from all over europe holland, austria , germany, so on and so austria, germany, so on and so on. f1 cars aside, there was plenty of beer, loads of music and many very, very drunk people indeed. not least me on saturday night. but one thing that caught my eye was how generally i guess well behaved and friendly everyone was . lots of dutch max everyone was. lots of dutch max verstappen fans told me how much they admired the uk for brexit, and how one day they'd hoped they'd follow suit, but the key takeaway was the levels of civility. no aggro, no problems and everyone crucially cleaning up after themselves. that was a stark contrast to back in the uk, however, where the great unwashed of glastonbury were making a mockery of themselves yet again . this black rubber
3:04 am
yet again. this black rubber dinghy, meant to replicate a small boat that crosses the engush small boat that crosses the english channel on a almost daily basis , now was launched daily basis, now was launched into the crowd during a set by rock band idles to a song which starts with the lyrics my blood brother is an immigrant, a beautiful immigrant. bristol based artist banksy took credit for the stunts, while the band's frontman led an anti nigel farage song during their set and then, unbelievably, also encouraged the crowd to sing f the king, don king. hey doc king hey, it's an anti—fascist song . hey, it's an anti—fascist song. >> anti farage song . >> anti farage song. >> anti farage song. >> so home secretary james cleverly today condemned those scenes and accused the crowd and ngo funded banksy of trivialising the migrant crisis . trivialising the migrant crisis. >> there are there are a bunch of people there joking and
3:05 am
celebrating about criminal actions, which costs lives. people die. people die in the mediterranean. they die in the channel. this is not funny. it is vile . i am determined to is vile. i am determined to break the criminal gangs. we are going after their money. we're going after their money. we're going after the boats. we're going after the boats. we're going after the engines. we are arresting them . arresting them. >> i mean, that was bad enough. but it wasn't the end of the weekend's woke shenanigans at glasto. welsh wonderkid turned far left campaigner charlotte church chanted free palestine dunng church chanted free palestine during her own performance. she appeared on stage wearing a long red dress and a traditional arab headdress across her shoulder called a keffiyeh , which has called a keffiyeh, which has since recently become a symbol of supporting palestine. here she is at a previous pro—palestine march. meanwhile, palestinian flags flew liberally throughout glastonbury over the five days, with little to no mention of israel's biggest atrocity since the holocaust. well, that's ironic, don't you think? when you look back to the horrors hamas committed at the
3:06 am
nova music festival on october the 7th, hostages of which, by the 7th, hostages of which, by the way, are still trapped in gaza today, live music for me, but not for thee. it seems . and but not for thee. it seems. and elsewhere. you had to laugh. look at this when looking at the military style security protecting the glastonbury site in gloucestershire, which this year had a woke new stage celebrating immigration to the uk and declaring no human is illegal. oh yeah. okay, well, hang on a minute then. i thought everyone's welcome. so why have you locked your doors to ticketless strangers in need of a boozy bender? could it be that you're just a bunch of massive hypocrites? maybe. talking of which, woke celebs have crawled out the woodwork in recent days urging people to vote for change when they take to the polls this week. this is dj fatboy slim performing in front of a labour red backdrop at glastonbury. that said , change will only that said, change will only happenif that said, change will only happen if you vote for it. i would be prime minister. labour's angela rayner tweeted love it. this proper banger. this is from fatboy slim. that's the same fatboy slim by the way,
3:07 am
who used to live on millionaire's row in mega wealthy hove in east sussex and beyond anything else , just look beyond anything else, just look at the state of the place. this is the aftermath of glastonbury's environmentally conscious virtue signalling visitors huge, rotting mounds of disgusting rubbish strewn everywhere, with not a damn given about who's going to clean up after them. i guess we better introduce some more green taxes to take care of it? glastonbury used to be the home of counterculture, but let me tell you, there's nothing rock and roll about a bunch of middle class trust fund babies parroting the latest narrative while totally oblivious to their pathetic hypocrisy. but let's get the thoughts of my panel tonight. daily express style columnist carole malone , columnist carole malone, journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth , and the benjamin butterworth, and the founder for global britain, our man vogel. good evening to you all. this is my debut on this new sofa. it's nice. it's very excited. it's very hard. it's hard. right. well, let's hope for some hard debate tonight as well. am i being a bit mean, carole, on these glasto hypocrites? >> the thing is you know, i can't. i mean i saw james
3:08 am
cleverly getting very upset and passionate about it. i can't take anything these glasto goons. i can't take it seriously. you know, they're just so predictable. so, you know, they're they're part of the establishment now. you know, the establishment now. you know, the last few years glastonbury has been like a it's been like a sing along for oaps. you know, we had diana ross, we had paul mccartney, we had the pet shop boys, we had elton john, all, all people who are no longer big time. and here they are making political statements all of a sudden, i mean, who gives a stuff what charlotte church has to say about anything? the thing is that, you know, that i was a bit disappointed in, in, the, what do you call them? banksy's, statement there with, with the not because of the reasons that are cleverly was outlining. but, you know, banksy in my head has always been a bit of a rebel, a bit of an innovator. and i just thought this was all very bourgeois. well, that's the whole point. middle class as what you said. and it was just so predictable. he's joined the liberal elite and it's just so predictable. benjamin. that's stupid. >> that is the whole point. i
3:09 am
mean, glastonbury, as i said in yesterday, used to be, you know, anti anti government, you know fighting against the you know the man and anti—establishment. now they just parrot the same old lines. they hear on mainstream media. and, and also by the way just to add at the end just leave the place looking like a complete dump. i think you need to get a life. >> i mean, honestly, there's nothing more tragic. >> let's all go to glastonbury, should we? >> people sat there shouting at other people, having a fun time and enjoying their lives. >> is that fun though? well, launching it, launching a fake lifeboat full of migrants. it was fun, which wasn't even accurate. there was women and children in there generally, it's always men. >> so he got that one. to on the 240 people who've died since. >> to the question you asked the answer, the question i was answering was not about the piece of art that was the banksy boat going over the crowd. >> look, you know, i think that was a lot of people saying that they care about refugees. they should be people that were laughing and shouting and jeering. no, really, they care about refugees. and that was the lyrics to the songs my beautiful immigrant and i think we should
3:10 am
celebrate that. >> you're a staunch defender of israel, and particularly what happens since october the 7th, of course. what do you make of likes of charlotte church, all these pop stars, these palestinian flags waving everywhere? >> well, i mean, it's obviously not my conclusion. and i think it's a horrible shame that given the these young people were attacked at a music festival, a quite left wing music festival in israel. i think it's a shame that they don't think about it. but look, there were if you there were videos of coldplay on saturday night, i think it was. and there are nova flags nova being the music festival right at the front, and there were israel flags there, but not at glastonbury, though. yes, at glastonbury, though. yes, at glastonbury i didn't see any. well i did, did you see them being reported? >> no, i've not seen it. >> i did and they were, they were shared by israelis in the uk quite proudly. but look, you know, if i were there i wouldn't want to fly any flag. i just want to fly any flag. i just want to fly any flag. i just want to enjoy the music a man, are you a glasto reveller? >> not at all. i think. look, it's a it's a folk festival of virtuous virtue signalling, metropolitan liberal elite preaching to their choir. that's what it is. the bottom line is
3:11 am
here that these people are completely out of touch with the rest of british culture, where they need to be in touch. >> they're just people enjoying their lives. >> you'd you'd think that, you know, it would be a good cross section of young british people across the uk. it is not. >> well. >> well. >> who do you see there, benjamin, saying, you know, support the tories or vote for reform this weekend or, you know, whatever. >> do you think that, pro tories or pro—israel people are not people who want to enjoy music, but no one's checking the politics at the door? well, they obviously are. >> this is all about politics. when you've got people like damon albarn from blur, who hasn't had a hit since god was allowed, i'd like to say we have him say, are you pro—palestinian? isn't this a terrible war? and why don't we get rid of joe biden? they are making it political, you know, it's the glastonbury strikes me now as being a bit like the bbc. if you don't follow their mantra, if you don't, if you're not, if you're if you're not talking about if you don't support palestine, if you don't support palestine, if you don't support brexit, if you know all of that stuff , you are dead to
3:12 am
of that stuff, you are dead to them. you're just you're just old fashioned dead. >> and you should know it's a festival of fringe elements. that's what it is. it's not a fringe. it's a festival of fringe. it's a festival of fringe element. that's what it is. >> and one thing that irks me as well is all these celebrities, these i mean, kit kit harington from is it game of thrones, fatboy slim, of course, at glastonbury, telling the plebs who to vote for exactly. you live in, you live in mansions, you're multi—millionaires. you have no idea what the hypocrisy of people like you is. >> extraordinary. because if ever someone says, oh, rishi sunakis ever someone says, oh, rishi sunak is too rich and too posh to be prime minister, you'll say, how dare you talk about their class? but when some people who may well be middle class because it costs a good couple, well, the difference is i'm speaking. it costs a good couple of hundred quid. no, no, ho. 110. >> no. >> glastonbury. >> glastonbury. >> the difference. well then you attack them for being middle class. >> on the contrary, this was a music festival. you just said this is people enjoying music. it's not. it's them pushing their political views. >> exactly. look, the difference is that someone like rishi sunak is that someone like rishi sunak is capable enough to put himself up for election. whether he wins the election or not. that's another matter. not. no. well, that's the that's the thing.
3:13 am
whereas these people, they're just preaching, they're preaching to the rest of us plebs. so if they want to preach politics, then let them stand for election and see what happens. >> well, the hypocrisy is so obvious. firstly, it's not when you say rishi is too posh, you say, how dare you say that? and then you say, i believe in free speech with no caveats. but not if you're fatboy slim or someone else who's on the left. well, ehhen >> is the music festival free speech or they don't. >> right? do you remember when they were hollering in 2019 for corbyn? >> do you remember? oh yes. corbyn after tories, he was. they just kind of latch on to whatever they think is anti—establishment. well do you know what? not realising they look like the liberal establishment themselves. >> first of all, fatboy slim actually went to school with keir starmer. so they've known each other for 50 or 60 years. saysit each other for 50 or 60 years. says it all. so, you know, it's no wonder that he wants keir starmer to be prime minister. he's clearly a sound man. but, you know, if you're so bothered by it, why don't you set up a right wing festival? >> i'm not particularly bothered by it. >> i wouldn't. >> i wouldn't. >> so you admit this is not a good cross section of british society? >> because it would be rubbish. >> because it would be rubbish. >> i think they're rubbish. i just think they're massive.
3:14 am
>> they're pretty. >> they're pretty. >> you'd let me speak. you've spoken enough. i just think they're massive hypocrites. and they're massive hypocrites. and the fact that they leave rubbish strewn everywhere, despite the likes of dale, vince and all these eco warriors being there, they say everything they preach to the masses and yet they don't live by their own ethos. >> he's right about the mess they leave every year. that has to be cleared up by volunteers, by people who really care about the environment, who do that for free. these people leave tents and mattresses and all their plastic everywhere. it's just it is also just as a final point, you know, all the all this nonsense about refugees welcome everyone allowed in the country . everyone allowed in the country. >> everybody come bring your family. they don't have yet. they have alcatraz style walls surrounding the site where people have to jump the wall to get in. >> i don't think you're fleeing murderous dictators. what you're calling macron a murderous dictator is comparable to a 17 year old trying to get a free, boozy weekend poll. >> 82% of people are lone males between 20. >> you're calling macron a murderous dictator? i mean, come on, even even for you, button. >> carol benjamin, a man. thank you very much. great start. now we have another special program this wednesday, and you are ianed this wednesday, and you are invited to be part of it so you can join patrick's live studio
3:15 am
audience for votes 2024. the verdict on patrick christys tonight, as he takes a look back on the twists and turns of the general election campaign before the polls opened on thursday. we'll have heavyweight political guests and top pundits to analyse an extraordinary six weeks. it has been quite extraordinary, if not boring, at some times as well. so the event begins at half past eight and you can find tickets @gbnews. com right now. so that's gbnews.com to reserve your tickets . right. gbnews.com to reserve your tickets. right. coming up, ed davey tells voters to take a leap of faith . when albert leap of faith. when albert bachet . he's braver leap of faith. when albert bachet. he's braver than i am because i was very, very close to doing that in austria at the weekend. and i bottled it at the last minute. but as the lib dems reportedly promote tactical voting three days out from the election, is that the best way to exercise your democratic right to vote? former lib dem mp mark oaten has his say shortly, but up next, as heathrow staff are allowed to wear free palestine badges because it informs travellers apparently
3:16 am
that they can speak arabic, has britain become a hostile environment for jewish people? co—founder of the muslim debate initiative, abdullah al—andalusi, takes on the chair of the national jewish assembly, gary next. this is patrick christys tonight with me,
3:17 am
3:18 am
3:19 am
hello. welcome back. ben. leo. with you on patrick christys tonight? just for tonight. only on gb news. now rishi sunak is down in
3:20 am
the polls. of course. so are the vultures already circling for his job? some tory leadership hopefuls appear to be getting their campaigns organised, with their campaigns organised, with the times reporting that websites bearing the names of the likes of suella braverman and kemi badenoch have been registered or updated in recent months . these have registered or updated in recent months. these have names registered or updated in recent months . these have names such as months. these have names such as suella for leader , .co.uk, kemi suella for leader, .co.uk, kemi for leader com and backing badenoch. co.uk so former editor of the sun, kelvin mackenzie joins me now to discuss this. kelvin if sunak does go are those kind of names. and penny mordaunt i guess as well. priti patel are they the front runners for the conservative party? and also are these website names any hint that they are truly getting organised, well, i hope they're getting organised, i regrettably rishi very clever man. a very poor leader. i mean, he's made some phenomenal. as long as he lives, as long as he lives, normandy will live with him and so i was with one of kemi badenoch s, kind of advisers.
3:21 am
and what she indicated to me was that there was really quite bad blood between rishi and badenoch. anyway and so i think she's number one and i very much suella is nowhere to be seen. pretty is nowhere to be seen unless somebody comes out right out of left field. then i'm afraid i think she's almost going to get a coronation rather than a competition. >> kemi. yeah >> kemi. yeah >> and to be honest with you , >> and to be honest with you, had she been in charge, i know it's ridiculous because we'd have had number five, prime minister had she been in charge for the last year or so, i think the tories would have put up a better show. they probably will still get beaten in the same way, but there would have been a sense of hope. where is the hope for the conservative party after the election? that's what worries me most. well, and the other thing that worries me is that they have deliberately put in a load of kind of quotes. one nation, herbert's, to be
3:22 am
potentially elected as conservative in these safe seats , in safe seats, however, right. if they try one nation once they get the other side of a defeat like that, honestly, they will not last five minutes. >> but kelvin, if you listen to the likes of those one nation types or the tory wets as some critics would call them, people like tobias ellwood, he would say, you don't win elections from lurching to the right. you win elections really well. >> just tell the french that, then tell the french that. look what's happening in germany. look what's happening across western quotes. >> so why don't those wets get it , kelvin? it, kelvin? >> they don't understand it. they look upon politics as a kind of intellectual exercise all about the brain. nothing to do with the heart. and that is where farage is winning left, right and centre . i expect him right and centre. i expect him now. i expect him now to do vaguely better than the polls suggest. you watch. you remember the expression tory. >> which poll, though, because you've got you've got some polls showing reform on 18 seats, others with seven. i mean, it's a vast if they if he gets 18
3:23 am
seats, he'll be the leader of the conservative party probably by by christmas . interesting by by christmas. interesting point because he i'm sure you saw it. his interview with beth rigby on sky news. yeah, talking of the tories , she asked if you of the tories, she asked if you would ever go to the tories if and when they were annihilated and when they were annihilated and so on. you know, the same old question, he said. they are ghastly. ghastly they've betrayed the 29 2019 brexit result and to them it's all a game. this is a political movement. i want nothing to do with them, okay, he said. there's no interest. i don't care about ever leading the tories. right. >> there is a point about that. because if you look at le pen right , because if you look at le pen right, marine le pen's father set up that set up that party in 1972. so it's taken them five decadesin 1972. so it's taken them five decades in order to get where they are today, which is a 34.5 or 34% lead. right? so you could argue that it won't be, nigel, that ends up running the country. it will be nigel's son. do you see what i mean? so i say to him , if you get 18 seats, do
3:24 am
to him, if you get 18 seats, do a deal with the tories and take it over. just. i'm talking about taking it over. i'm not talking about him being deputy leader or him being shadow home secretary or shadow chancellor. i'm saying you are. you become the leader. >> so you think he needs the conservative brand? he needs that brand. he can't he can't build something himself. >> you know, when reform he what i say, he hasn't got enough time. yeah, right. and it would have to be his son or his grandson. like le pen issue , right. >> not sure if they want to get involved, but i mean, the flack that nigel gets, i've been following and speaking to nigel since maybe 2015 when the general election when he was running with ukip, i went with him on a few speeches to town halls and local pubs. the abuse he got from, you know , the far he got from, you know, the far left. i'm not sure anyone would want to put up with that. but kelvin, talking of the tories, they've released this campaign ad with the message illegal migrants are waiting for labour, the inference being that starmer's party will roll out the red carpet. and this is literally what they've depicted in this video for small boat arrivals. but the former scottish first minister, humza yousaf, has taken umbrage to it, writing that the good news is we
3:25 am
only have a few days to go until we rid ourselves of this xenophobic tory government. i mean, he's one to talk, isn't he? he's banging on about whites, whites, whites. yeah. >> no, what yusef thinks about anything doesn't even matter in scotland. so god knows why it should matter here. what i enjoyed about that ad. and this is too all late. it's too late. he decides to do it with 72 hours to go before the election. why didn't he start doing all this? literally six weeks ago? if he had been pumping out videos, pumping out memes, memes, pumping out general, general kind of, campaign advertising, which was aimed at saying, look, we're on your side. we understand how you feel about migrants. he wouldn't say it. i don't understand . there's it. i don't understand. there's no point saying it was 72 hours to go. i like that ad , but he to go. i like that ad, but he could have done so much more. >> i mean, you said he should have done it weeks ago, but i mean, arguably months ago, even when he took the reins over, he saw, you know, the problem that, laid before him with the one nafion laid before him with the one nation tories just grabbed the ball by the horns. surely and just, you know. yes. you know what? you know what the members
3:26 am
want. >> yes, i know, but he can't do it. and a lot of members, a lot of tory mps couldn't do it. they can't get down and dirty. and one of the great things about farage and i accept the abuse he gets is beyond disgusting, right? the abuse is he takes it on, he gets up and he carries on punching . rishi on, he gets up and he carries on punching. rishi is an on, he gets up and he carries on punching . rishi is an intellect, punching. rishi is an intellect, a financial intellect. he's not a financial intellect. he's not a political intellect. and we've discovered this a decent guy actually doesn't like kemi, so i'm not very much on his side , i'm not very much on his side, but, a decent guy. >> okay, when you called him an intellect. but the other day you said that you wouldn't for vote reform anymore after nigel's, you know, comments about i buy you. you change your mind on that now? >> yeah. no, no, no no no, i don't buy i don't you wouldn't vote for reform, right? i, i personally won't vote for reform. i buy everything he says. right. but i can't i can't put my right. i'm a magnificent politician. the greatest politician. the greatest politician of this century. so in the last 24 years, he is number one. the things he's
3:27 am
achieved are incredible. but i can't make my way across the border on the issue of putin. but what did he say? >> what did he say that got you so upset? >> what i wanted him to say was, i can't stand putin. he is a dictator. he is vile . he send dictator. he is vile. he send people over. he said those things, he sent him. well he didn't say it in a way which i his his umbilical cord to me, he didn't say if look, if he was sitting there now and he said all those things in that order, i would change my mind. he's entitled to his view. he may be right about the eu, he may be right about the eu, he may be right about the eu, he may be right about nato, but i can't. the guy himself is the is an enormous threat. why should we believe anything that putin says? putin says i'm not going to invade. he says, i'm not going to invade ukraine. i'm not going to invade ukraine. i'm not going to invade ukraine. i'm not going to invade ukraine. oh, oh, sorry, i have invaded ukraine. so you think , nigel, i mean, so you think, nigel, i mean, nigel would say he was warning ten, 15 years ago. >> i totally agree about putin. >> i totally agree about putin. >> that is different. >> that is different. >> he would he would have maybe doneit >> he would he would have maybe done it anyway. he granted. but
3:28 am
nigel was just making the point. i warned about this. yeah, many years ago. >> and also he was saying i'm not saying he wouldn't win. i'm not saying he wouldn't win. i'm not saying he wouldn't win. i'm not saying he's not a seer. i'm not saying he's not a seer. i'm not saying he's not a clever quy- not saying he's not a clever guy. i want him to specifically say, right, we have got to face down a putin. otherwise he is a threat to us all. he is literally would walk up whitehall. >> yeah, okay. kelvin mackenzie, former editor of the sun, thank you very much. coming up, as heathrow staff are allowed to wear free palestine badges because it apparently informs travellers they can speak arabic, has britain become a hostile environment for jewish people? that's in the head to head still to come, also in the show. look at this rule, britannia . yes steve bray, the britannia. yes steve bray, the menace of westminster has been causing chaos this time in the west country. i will show you what that's all about very shortly. but next, as the lib dems make a tactical voting push three days out from the election, is it really the best way to exercise your democratic right and have the tories massively underestimated the threat posed to them by the lib
3:29 am
dems? former lib dem mp mark is live next. is patrick christys tonight
3:30 am
3:31 am
3:32 am
us. hello. welcome back. this is patrick christys tonight with me. ben. leo. now, ed davey is cramming in as many political stunts as he can before polling day today, the lib dem leader took part in a bungee jump in eastbourne, east sussex. and as davey would explain, there was a
3:33 am
hidden meaning behind the move . hidden meaning behind the move. >> well, i'm asking people to do something. many people do something. many people do something they've never done before, which is vote liberal democrat this coming thursday. we're finding a lot of lifelong conservatives considering they don't want to vote conservatives. some young people who've never voted before. and we're saying do something you've never done. i've just done it. i've never done that before, so take the plunge, vote for health and care, which is our top priority unlike anyone else's. a vote for a proper economic policy. vote, tame the sewage scandal and action on climate change. i think we've got policies that will track people who were normally conservative. >> well, good for sir davey. i had a chance to do it at the weekend. the bungee jump. and i bottled it at the last minute. i just thought, no, too much of a wuss. but his jump today followed reports that a frantic, i guess, tactical voting effort is being waged by the lib dems as they target a quarter of a million, mainly labour inclined voters who they believe could unlock seats in the south of england and a yougov poll released today found that 1 in 5
3:34 am
voters say they are voting tactically in this election. so i'm joined now by former liberal democrat mp and former party chairman mark oaten. good evening mark, thank you for joining me. is tactical voting really the best way to exercise your democratic right? >> well, i think in the first past the post system we have, it's probably the lib dems would argue, and many labour people would argue it's the only way that you can actually have a real say and use your democratic rights. >> and if you think about it in a seat where perhaps one party might get 40% of the vote and 60% of the electorate are against that party, it makes sense for that 60% to try and figure out how they can align to defeat the party on 40. so it gives people a choice and it's not ideal. but in the current system, it's the best bet for individuals to decide how they want to vote. >> but what do you make of these campaigns by the likes of i say, carol vorderman, very organised organisations, you know, really not just saying to people, you
3:35 am
know, if there's a bit of a majority here or there, just make sure you vote for them. it's a very organised thing, which critics would say is definitely undemocratic. >> well, look, you can't force people how to vote. so all of these various campaigns are giving advice, they're providing information for voters. but i find that voters are pretty quick at working this out themselves. they look at who came second last time round, and if they want to get rid of the person who is in first place, then they'll vote for that second place. but there'll be a frantic effort by the lib dems in the next 48 hours to make sure that people do know where they're in second place. and this is critical. my understanding is there's a large number of seats on a knife edge at the moment where that tactical vote could make all of the difference. so you'll see lots of leaflets with bar charts showing only the lib dems could beat the tories here. and that will be a message they're going to drum home until thursday and beyond. >> but mark, how can voters trust the lib dems? i mean, you
3:36 am
stabbed students in the back last time you were in government. sir ed davey has apologised for his role in the post office scandal. how can people trust your party again? >> well, it has taken a lot of rebuilding and ed's been the first to say that, you know, a lot of the lib dem mps lost their seats. they paid the price for what they did on tuition fees, but that is now some years away. and i think the lib dems would argue, look actually, yeah, we made some mistakes then. but by golly , look what then. but by golly, look what then. but by golly, look what the tories have done since after the tories have done since after the lib dems left the coalition. they've given us so many prime ministers, so many failed attempts. they gave us liz truss, so when you compare what we did on tuition fees, frankly, the tories have done a hell of a lot worse. >> okay, granted, but ed davey was a minister in that coalition government and he never spoke out at the time about the tories or the tough decisions they were making, even austerity. he never once spoke out and he's addressed that himself. >> i think if you look at the tories in coalition with the lib dems, i think history will look back on it as actually being quite a successful government. you had david cameron as prime
3:37 am
minister. it achieved a lot of things since the lib dems left the coalition. actually, i would argue the tories have gone in the wrong direction. they've moved more right wing. we've seen failed policies. >> we've seen mark. come on, you can't say the tories have moved right wing. i mean, that's the whole reason they've just there, you know, according to the polls about to blow this election, they've moved to the left of centre. they're left of tony blair's government . blair's government. >> surely you can agree with that, ben, i'll tell you this, that, ben, i'll tell you this, that if the lib dems have still beenin that if the lib dems have still been in coalition, you wouldn't have seen the fiasco over rwanda. for example, you wouldn't have seen, the lib dems allowing the conservatives to panderin allowing the conservatives to pander in the way that they have done to the right and to reform and it is definitely the case that this conservative government, after the lib dems left, has shifted to the right, and they've done it simply because they're trying to prevent reform from taking their votes, a policy which appears to be failing. >> yeah , okay. we'll have to >> yeah, okay. we'll have to agree to disagree on that, mark. but going back to ed davey, i mean, this is a man who could, in a few days be the official leader of the opposition. i say again, how can the electorate trust a man who says when asked
3:38 am
if a woman can have a penis, he says, it's quite clear that they can. i mean, do you agree with that? what's your position on that? >> i mean, that's hugely controversial and individuals have got different views on that. but it shouldn't be controversial, though. >> that's the point, isn't it ? >> that's the point, isn't it? >> that's the point, isn't it? >> well, it is controversial and it's a sensitive issue . there it's a sensitive issue. there are a wide range of views that individuals have on this. i know that here in the seat where i've been trying to help campaign, there are lots of letter writing campaigns on all different sides on this issue. i don't think people are going to vote on the transgender issue per se. i think they're going to be voting on whether a party can fix the nhs or social care or sewage. these are the core messages the lib dems are talking about. and look, i think the way things are heading, they should maybe get up to 60 or 70 seats on thursday. so it suggests to me that those messages have been hitting home okay, maybe not so politically aligned, but you said i think it was yesterday in the newspaper interview that you do agree with nigel farage on something. >> can you guess what i'm going
3:39 am
to say? proportional representation . you're big on representation. you're big on that. do we need that in the uk really to break up this, this tory labour uni party grapple they've got on the country . they've got on the country. >> i think the problem for reform is that they are going to maybe get sort of 17, 18% of the vote and potentially no seats. now look, that is an outrage. i'm no reform fan, but that is anti—democratic and the dems have realised the only way to deal with this is to get involved in tactical voting and to target maybe 70 seats and put so much effort into those seats. it shouldn't have to be like this. surely, to goodness, we can create a system where people can create a system where people can vote and it links in much more with how many people vote per party. this has to change. and on this i find myself bizarrely in complete alliance with nigel farage. >> okay good stuff. mark oaten , >> okay good stuff. mark oaten, former lib dem mp and party chair. thanks for joining former lib dem mp and party chair. thanks forjoining us. this evening, yeah. the point of a woman having a penis isn't controversial. i mean, we all know the answer to that. but
3:40 am
anyway, coming up, we've got a big migrant exclusive for you as a well—known charity. can you guess who is accused of facilitating crime? stay tuned for that at 10 pm. but up next, as heathrow staff are allowed to wear free palestine badges because apparently it informs travellers they can speak arabic first. i've heard of that. has britain become a hostile environment for jewish people? co—founder of the muslim debate initiative , abdullah initiative, abdullah al—andalusi, takes on the chair of the national jewish assembly, gary mond, next. this is christys tonight with me, ben
3:41 am
3:42 am
3:43 am
this is patrick christys. tonight with me. ben leo. only on gb news now has britain become a hostile environment for jewish people. it's time now for the head to head. and heathrow airport is at the centre of an antisemitism storm tonight, after bosses claims that security staff wearing pro—palestine badges.
3:44 am
here they are on the screen now are allowed to do so because it lets travellers know they speak arabic. so this comes after a jewish passenger travelling through heathrow was subject to a security check by a female employee wearing the controversial badge when the passenger complained. heathrow's customer support department responded with the following statement. they said we can confirm that no nationality, religious or political items can be worn by any heathrow staff. the exception is that if a person speaks a language from a certain region as a secondary language, the flag representing the country would be present, which is provided by heathrow airport . this is not a airport. this is not a compulsory requirement to display this information . and is display this information. and is it the staff member's discretion so that foreign travellers may know who to approach? should it be easier to communicate in their own language? but that sparked fury among jewish groups, with the director of uk laws for israel, caroline turner, saying the effect of the security staff wearing the flag is to create an intimidating, hostile and offensive
3:45 am
environment for jews and hostile and offensive environment forjews and israel environment for jews and israel supporters . so tonight i'm supporters. so tonight i'm asking has britain become a hostile environment for jewish people? let me know your thoughts by heading to gb news.com forward. slash your say or tweet me @gbnews. and while you're there, vote in the poll. i'll bring you the results very very shortly. but first going head to head on this are the co—founder of the muslim debate initiative, abdullah al andaloussi, and the chair of the national jewish assembly, gary mond. good evening to you both. gary, let's start with you. is there a hostile environment in there a hostile environment in the uk for jews? there a hostile environment in the uk forjews? i think i know the uk forjews? i think i know the answer. >> so it's definitely got the situation has got worse and worse. and the incident you've just described has absolute insanity. have you ever seen anyone wearing a french badge or anyone wearing a french badge or a german badge? but i gather in the last few hours, heathrow airport has backtracked and caroline turner of uk lawyers for israel has won her battle. and these badges are going to be stopped. okay. yes. the situation has become absolutely appalling in so many different areas of life for jews in the aftermath of the 7th of october. >> okay , abdullah. so heathrow
3:46 am
>> okay, abdullah. so heathrow have already backtracked. they said no, that was wrong. why would that person be wearing a palestinian badge at an airport ? palestinian badge at an airport? >> well, firstly, palestine is recognised by 145 countries around the world as a state. >> so hence, if you can wear state flag on yourself to represent the language that dialect. >> but in light of the current situation, why would they choose to do that ? to do that? >> so then, should we also ask for everyone to not display their israel flags? because in light of the current situation, especially when they've been accused of plausibly committing genocide by the international criminal court, we should then more so, see, seeing and putting up flags of israel, including one in sheffield council. what is a foreign flag doing flying in england in a in a in a i think that's wrong as well. state property. and also i think that, you know uk law is for israel. why not uk lawyers for uk . you know, if you're going to uk. you know, if you're going to be nationalist about things as gb news tends to be, then be nationalist. why this foreign country is dictating the rights of british citizens on british soil . soil. >> are they? what do you mean by
3:47 am
that? who's doing that ? that? who's doing that? >> well, the uk lawyers for israel, hence the it's in the word, the wording there. >> it'sjust word, the wording there. >> it's just it's just it's just a working group in the uk isn't it. >> they've you've got your, your chair of the just so, so they just put the word for israel. >> it'sjust just put the word for israel. >> it's just a just put the word for israel. >> it'sjust a bit just put the word for israel. >> it's just a bit of a joke then they just well abdullah you are, you are the co—founder of the muslim debate initiative. >> so what's the difference? >> so what's the difference? >> that's not, it's a, you know, muslim is being the name of religion. you have. british citizens are muslim. you're saying that you can't be british and muslim. >> you've you've just you've just literally tripped over your own argument. you're saying, why is there an israeli organisation in the uk? why is there a muslim organisation in the uk ? organisation in the uk? >> no. why is there a uk organisation that states that it's for a foreign country? that's my argument. so i haven't tripped over anything. your logic is very poor religion and state or nationality are not the same thing . or don't you know same thing. or don't you know the difference? 1.1 at the un. what state at the un is called muslim? what state? the un is called jew. what state at the un
3:48 am
is called christian? please tell me that, sir. okay. well one point i do agree with you on is the fact that any badge displayed in public, i mean, it's been lgbt pride week, whatever it's been this week, i don't want to see any political persuasions or ideological, ideologies displayed in public. >> so you'd be. >> so you'd be. >> so you'd be. >> so will you be asking for the removal of the ukraine flag in solidarity with the ukrainians? because maybe you could argue i don't like any of them. it's creating a hostile environment for russians living in uk, which is a ridiculous argument. and also marion margolis, a very famous jewish actor, would disagree with the connection of jews and israel. they are not connected. many jews reject, israel. israel is not representing jews around the world. it's actually anti—semitic to say that israel represents jews in the world. let me let me bring you, gary. why are you being anti—semitic? then? why are you being anti—semitic? >> it's all semantics. the big problem is the interference of politics in both sport and entertainment and in so many areas of life where politics does not belong. i'm a former international butterfly swimmer of 50 years ago, and i remember
3:49 am
how we first started to see the problem when the moscow olympics were boycotted by the americans. and the problem has got worse and worse, culminating in what we saw a few weeks ago with the eurovision song contest. we must keep politics out of sport and entertainment and indeed daily life as we're seeing at heathrow airport. >> well, look, the issue is that zionists are offended by the very existence of palestinians and anyone that recognises palestinian . they're so warped palestinian. they're so warped in their mind, those who hate palestinians to see the palestinians to see the palestinian flag that when they see it and they react like this, it just shows you how, how really intolerant they are. imagine how the palestinians live under the rule of people who hate to even see their very existence. so hate to see their flag such that they will raise issues with it. and they and they will deem to be offended by they will deem to be offended by the existence of a simple flag of a nationality. >> palestinian flag is different from all other flags. it symbolises the destruction of the state of israel. it symbolises palestine, those marches, everybody who goes on
3:50 am
those marches on saturdays, they're not. they're not arguing for a two state solution. they are arguing for the destruction of the state of israel. those who wave that flag, it's the terror flag. it is . it is the terror flag. it is. it is the flag which means no israel. and thatis flag which means no israel. and that is what is so offensive to so many uk jews , many of whom in so many uk jews, many of whom in fact, most of whom are fervent zionists. >> okay. and that shows and wait , wait. >> and that shows, unfortunately, how sick minded you are that the a national flag, a simple national flag of a people who are a nationality, who live in palestine, who have ancestry, who. and let me finish, sir, it shows how sick minded you are that the very existence of their flag is , is existence of their flag is, is an anathema to you. absolutely. you think you hate it so much, you want to. you want. you want. you want to stamp it out. all i'm saying is this. >> that if anyone gets answer my question, please. do you think october the 7th was equally as sick? because that palestinian flag since october the 7th, every other weekend in london, you've had chances from the river to the sea calling for this and that. you've had all sorts of signs. do you think
3:51 am
what happened in october, do you condemn what happened on october the 7th? >> and this is not even related to the topic. but if every human life is sacred and precious, and i say that 1000 lives or 1200 lives died on october 7, then what israel did is 40 times worse than october the 7th, because they killed 40 times more human beings than even the even israeli secret intelligence which agreed to those figures over a period or over over. yeah, over a period of eight months. but guess what? right when the when the nazis were bombing london over four years, they killed far less british people in london. no, they didn't, they didn't. then israel didn't, they didn't. then israel did 20 the likes of dresden. thousand dead. 20. no, no , no. thousand dead. 20. no, no, no. >> i'm saying of the likes of when you look at the likes of dresden and also you're quoting abdullah, you are quoting london figures nazis bombing london with indiscriminate bombs over three years only killed 20,000 people. >> that was when they tried to kill maximum damage with indiscriminate weapons, israel with precision weapons has killed twice as many people as
3:52 am
the nazis killed in london dunng the nazis killed in london during the blitz. >> you're quoting figures from health authority run by terrorists who raped and killed their way, through which israeli newspapers have reported that even the israeli intelligence services has accepted it because in previous conflicts, the figures were usually reported. >> are actually accurate. in all the previous conflicts, they've always been generally accurate. so they take they take it. okay. so they take they take it. okay. so that's that's your argument. i think what you what you haven't what you haven't highlighted is we're running out of time. if, when israelis go if israelis males of military age go. >> we're running out of time . >> we're running out of time. >> we're running out of time. >> our airports, our airports, they should be subject to some sort of search because of they come from a war zone , because come from a war zone, because they come from war zone. and they've been the militant group. >> so has britain become a hostile environment for jewish people ? your verdict is now in people? your verdict is now in 94% of you, a whopping figure agree britain has become a hostile environment for jews, while 6% of you say it hasn't . while 6% of you say it hasn't. coming up as marine le pen's right wing national rally sweeps to victory in the first round of the french elections, could britain also lurch to the right

if the new government fails to tackle migration? noelle gardner is here next. but next, a big migrant exclusive for you as a well—known charity. can you guess who is accused of facilitating crime across the channel? this is patrick christys tonight with me, ben leo only on gb news now your weather with alex. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on gb news >> good evening. here's your latest gb news, weather forecast brought to you by the met office. looking ahead to tomorrow and there will be some showery rain around but also some bright sunny spells. but first thing for some it is going to be a bit cloudy and a bit damp because of a frontal system demp hétsugé tjif a fmntgi $361.29?! ' has already pushed its way that has already pushed its way in from the northwest and is currently making its way south eastwards. as we go overnight. so eastern southern parts of england likely to have quite a bit of cloud and some drizzly rain as we go through the night and head towards dawn tomorrow. elsewhere, some clear spells mixed in, a few showers possible, but temperatures
3:54 am
really aren't going to drop a huge amount, particularly in the east and southeast where we have that thicker cloud. it is going to be a pretty mild start to the day tomorrow, but like i said, a cloudy, damp, drizzly start here. further north, a bit of a brighter start, particularly across eastern parts of scotland. a good deal of sunshine early on here. further west we will see some showery rain pushing its way in and that's going to turn a bit more persistent, a bit more widespread as we go through the day. across northern ireland, much of northern england through the morning, it's looking mostly dry, some bright sunny spells. watch out for a few showers across parts of wales , perhaps across parts of wales, perhaps northwest england, and then a real west east split across much of central southern england. with that cloud and that drizzly rain i mentioned across eastern parts. most of that , though, parts. most of that, though, will clear away as we go through the day. and so it is going to turn a little bit drier and brighter here. further north, a slightly different story. yes, there will be some sunny breaks around, but i am expecting some showery rain to push its way in across parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland, and some of this could be on the heavy side.
3:55 am
temperatures around average for the time of year, just about scraping into the low 20s towards the south. wednesday looks like a pretty wet day for many of us. the rain may not be especially heavy, but it's going to be fairly widespread. most places likely to see some wet weather at times could even be some low cloud, some hill fog, and some strong, blustery winds to watch out for as well. for many, thursday looks like it will be a brighter day, but could be quite windy for some of us before more rain on friday. bye bye! >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

care for calais strongly criticised previously over accusations it facilitates and encourages deadly channel crossings which have cost countless lives. of course, even describes the phones as, quote, the ultimate gift for migrants . the ultimate gift for migrants. but tonight, security experts say dishing out phones will only encourage more crossings and possibly be used to facilitate crime. when in britain, the former head of the national counter terrorism security office, chris phillips , said office, chris phillips, said tonight it's just another unnecessary incentive to take on the dangerous and illegal journey across the channel. the fact is that many already have phones anyway , and these are phones anyway, and these are used by the criminal people smugglers to arrange transit across the channel. if all have phones, then it will be much easier to arrange meet times and avoid the police . he went on. of avoid the police. he went on. of course, many on the boats are not criminals, but some might be and it will be awful if phones suppued and it will be awful if phones supplied are used to commit crime. care for calais appeared to be aiding and abetting the criminal groups operating this despicable trade. gb news has
4:05 am
reached out to care for calais for comment tonight, but we are yet to receive a response so politicians can bang on about their solutions to stopping the small boats crisis. all they want smash the gangs, they say. rwanda deterrent, whatever . it rwanda deterrent, whatever. it doesn't matter until the uk stops behaving like an international holiday camp for the world's needy . nothing will the world's needy. nothing will ever change. but let's get the thoughts of my panel tonight. daily express columnist carole malone, journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth and the founder of global britain uk, a man bogle. welcome back to you. three, damning revelations tonight. you know, not only are these people getting free dentistry, clogging up the housing situation, and also, we don't know who these people are . nigel farage has people are. nigel farage has made very good points before about throwing mobile phones into the sea passports. they're now getting their own mobile phones. now getting their own mobile phones . carol, courtesy of care phones. carol, courtesy of care for calais. >> if we have security experts who say that these phones are, they believe these phones are going to be used either in criminal activity or to encourage more illegal people to come across here. then we should
4:06 am
take notice of them. but care for calais have been actively undermine this government's efforts to kerb illegal immigration for quite a long time there. they've they've played a key role in stopping the deportation of criminals , the deportation of criminals, criminals who have stayed here and then gone on to hurt people and then gone on to hurt people and rape women. they have played and rape women. they have played a key role in stopping the rwanda flights. this is not a charity's job. and let's not forget last year that it was the charity commission. brought out a report that that produced evidence of inappropriate payments, misconduct and mismanagement. so this is this is not just a charity. these are a bunch of politically motivated activists masquerading as humanitarians. they're people who have an anarchist ideology of hatred of all laws and all borders and all frontiers. they don't want any borders in this country. and so they're facilitating people to come here. that's not what a charity is supposed to do, benjamin. >> these people have had to flee their homeland, their families, their homeland, their families, their parents, or their

albanians. >> here we go and there we go. >> here we go and there we go. >> they're fleeing france. >> they're fleeing france. >> and that is an incredibly traumatised turkey, spending tens of thousands. >> benjamin, is this a lie? >> benjamin, is this a lie? >> okay, but you have to let him finish. >> come on. »- >> come on. >> the fact is, they have fled parts of the world where they've left their family and their loved ones. and can you imagine? do you know if you're going to be disrespectful? i won't bother talking. >> it is what you're saying. it's absolute nonsense. they're not fleeing. spending thousands of euros. france france is not war torn. where are the women? where are their children? come on, let's be sensible here. these people are being aided and abetted by lefty activists who are undermining not just our borders, but our national security. and they should be booked under national security laws. >> another question, benjamin, what do you make of this? the concerns raised by security experts that, you know, giving migrants mobile phones like this can only well, apart from the security issue, it's just encouraging more of them to come potentially , you know, the potentially, you know, the economic migrants anyway, coming for a better life. who can blame
4:08 am
them? i get it, you want a better life, but when you've got free nhs, dentistry, whatever else and now free mobile phones, can you understand the concern there? >> no. as i was trying to say, these people have left their families and their loved ones and you can only imagine what a horror that is. and i think it is deeply unkind and inhumane to oppose them having something that could mean they could have contact, you know, with their elderly parents or their kids on the other side of the world. and that's what a mobile phone means in this day and age. it's the 21st century. a smartphone is a human right. access to the internet is a human right because you can't function without off with a smartphone, but they dump it before they get it because it helps identify them. >> you know that the thing is, you know what makes me really cross about this? care for calais would have. and people like ben would have you believe that most britons are xenophobic and racist. no they're not. most britons support immigration. what frightens most britons? quite rightly, is the lack of control is the lack of security, is the lack of border control and uncontrolled illegal immigration. they don't want
4:09 am
that, i would argue. >> look, i came to this country as a legal migrant at the age of eight, and every single channel migrant illegal dinghy is a slap in the face of every single legal migrant like myself who jumped through hoops to do the right thing to make this great country my our home. and the fact is, look, these people. yes, you say all well, wonderful. they want to communicate with their families. they're spending tens of thousands of euros trying to cross. you're telling me they can't afford a mobile phone which is throwing the channel? come on, let's be serious about this. let's be honest. >> frequently these people are have a debt of thousands of pounds rather than paying it up front, and they end up in the slave trade that is effectively why don't they stay in france then? and that is one of the reasons why i thought it was so ugly that suella braverman wanted to take away the slave , wanted to take away the slave, the slave labour protections theresa may introduced that would help these people to escape, not stay in france. >> it is. >> it is. >> where are the children? where are the women? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> ben, can i ask you one
4:10 am
question you've alluded to. you've said that you know, it's inhumane not to give people a phone. they need to call their families. and so on. so why do they then, en route to britain, throw their phones into the sea and their passports? >> well, you don't know that they do. >> they do. of course they do. >> they do. of course they do. >> you don't know that they do. >> you don't know that they do. >> you don't know that they do. >> you can't speak to. are you denying that has ever happened? >> well, we've got footage. nigel farage has shared footage before of that happening in the channel. so if they need a phone so desperately, why are they throwing that away? >> clearly they want to have a use of phones. that's why a charity that helps some of the most vulnerable people. but you haven't asked to do that. well, look, i mean, i how do i know if some people have ever thrown a phone away? clearly it's plausible. but the fact is that i think they have a right to have something like that. it's a human right, and it means that they it's not a human right to have a phone in a horrible situation. >> what a silly. okay, let's go. >> what a silly. okay, let's go. >> over time, how would you go about your life? how would you do your job? how would you have a connection to this country illegally? >> and the majority are not fleeing. >> no human is illegal. these people have a right. i'm sorry. >> they are they coming to this
4:11 am
country illegally? i told you about a poll today. well, they're not illegal. >> if they approved for refugee status, percent of them are men between 25 and 39 who are coming here. >> so they're not all flee because in what way does that make them illegal? >> because they're male. well, they are coming here illegally. >> you know, they are on boats. that's an illegal look, a legal version. >> okay. well get here legally, by the way. >> lots of others. >> lots of others. >> okay? okay. >> okay? okay. >> listen, it's a very simple question that the british people want to ask people like ben, and that is, well, where do you draw the line? do you open it up for 800 million self self—certified refugees from around the world? is that where you draw the line? why is one refugee who's taking the help of serious, organised criminal gangs in france? their life is worth more than someone in sub—saharan africa or in afghanistan. where do you draw the line? >> how is one of the country's most many of these people come from? it's one of the top countries they've fled from, so that doesn't make any sense, does it? >> a mobile having a mobile phone as a human right. why aren't we giving out free mobile phones to people in this country who live in this country, who
4:12 am
can't afford to have one? >> i think i think generally the concern is around care for caleb because, carol, you've alluded to it before, the former founder, well, the founder, clare moseley, names in a charity commission. >> well, let's say what she did, 340 grand was paid into her personal account from the charity. she said it was to repay bills that she had personally paid. that was what she said. but soon after that, the board in its entirety was replaced and new trustees were put in place. >> she was investigated for many things. she was investigated by the guess who. she was investigated by her own sister. exactly also, she had a she had an affair with a tunisian migrant . an affair with a tunisian migrant. it's not just care for carly. it's this general consensus that around the world, it's these ngos, ngo who are funded by, you know, nefarious groups who are facilitating these crossings. my family are greek. it happens in lesvos, in the aegean sea. all these ngos escorting small boats and lifeboats and all they're doing, it's argued. i mean, i'd argue it. no problem is they're just encouraging death. death in the mediterranean. indeed, in the channel. >> well, look, i would say i would argue that this is a threat to national security.
4:13 am
yeah. any crossing that is of unvetted people without any background checks. we just simply do not know who is coming into the country via this route. >> so that would be why you're trying to be an mp for the party. that's let 800 of them in a day. >> well, that's why i've been campaigning against it. does that make any sense? >> you're the one. you're the one putting in power the people that have let this happen. >> on the contrary, i've been campaigning against anyone else here. did. i've been campaigning against all this for a very long time. ben, i've been saying this only he's got a point. no, no, only he's got a point. no, no, on the contrary, i've been saying terrible. >> oh, i'm going to go and vote for the people. not at all. >> i've been saying from day one that the only way this stops is that the only way this stops is that you pick up every single one safely in the middle of the channel. the french are escorting it to our side of the engush escorting it to our side of the english channel. go and drop them back on the french coast. that's the only way it stops. >> the fact of the matter is that if a nation isn't in control of its borders, it can't implement any immigration policy at all. and we are now not in control of our borders. >> okay, carol benjamin, a man. thank you very much, coming up, i'll deliver the very first of tomorrow's front pages, hot off the press and we'll discuss
4:14 am
whether sir keir starmer is right to declare he won't work 24 over seven if he's elected prime minister on friday. what do you think about that? i've got my thoughts. i'll let you know them in a very short while. gbnews.com/yoursay but next, former aide to margaret thatcher, nile gardiner, joins me live to analyse how france's rise of the right will affect britain. plus, find out why prince harry has been criticised by a hero's mother. don't go go anywhere. this is patrick christys
4:15 am
4:16 am
4:17 am
4:18 am
hello. welcome back. patrick christys. tonight with me. ben. leo. only on gb news. all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages coming up very shortly. but first, sir keir starmer today declared that his party would work with marine le pen's right wing national rally party to tackle the small boats crisis. if labour secures victory on thursday. and that comes after french president emmanuel macron was humiliated in the first round of voting in france's parliamentary elections, with le pen's party securing the biggest vote share. and speaking today, sir keir starmer said i will work with any government in europe and across the world if we are elected in to serve the country. for me, that's what serious government is about. so yes, we will work with whoever. i do think it's important, though, that we make the progressive case to meet the challenges that we face across europe and across the world. i'm delighted to be joined now by margaret thatcher's former aide, nile gardiner , who normally. nile, gardiner, who normally. nile, i'm speaking to you down the line from america. so welcome back to the uk. >> thanks very much, ben. >> thanks very much, ben. >> so could britain lurch to the
4:19 am
right in the wake of the rise of the right in france and elsewhere across europe? how starmer's potential government, if they win this week, how are they going to handle this right wing resurgence across europe? >> yeah, that's a great question because i think that in france and across europe, you are seeing the winds of change blowing through the continent. really and basically europe moving largely to the right. most european countries are moving rightwards . but in the moving rightwards. but in the uk, of course, we're seeing a different direction in terms of, the political trends here. and so britain's moving leftwards, in contrast to most of europe. so i think it would be very difficult actually , for keir difficult actually, for keir starmer to actually work with a national rally government in france. we are witnessing , of france. we are witnessing, of course, the beginning of the end of the macron era in france. and of the macron era in france. and of course, i think many, many brits would, would cheer that actually, macron i think has been absolutely awful for britain. >> but we we've got this we've got this front page, just literally dropped. now it's the
4:20 am
i newspaper, the headline reads labour faces up to the prospect of far right neighbour in france with early talks. keir starmer pragmatic about working with le pen. priority talks on a new deal to kerb illegal migration. and senior labour figures believe the french party will moderate some of its more extreme policies, as giorgia meloni did in italy. what did you make of that? >> yeah, that's an interesting point. i think that giorgia meloni has been a tremendous success story in italy, and her party, the brothers of italy, is now the largest political party in in the country. and i think that what we have seen across europe are figures on the right who were lambasted, a decade ago as far right extremists. but they're now in power. >> italy. do you not think meloni's bottled it a bit because she had all this blustering talk before she was elected. she was going to turn back boats in the sea, stop the migrant crossings, you know, akin to australia. and she's been accused now by many of her previous supporters of, you know , sort of weakening down her
4:21 am
position as labour have alluded to tonight. >> i think that meloni actually has done the best she possibly can in the circumstances. of course, as a member of the european union, your hands are tied and unless you have full sovereignty and self—determination, you cannot fully control your borders, which is exactly what the british government should be doing right here at the moment, but hasn't done successfully. but i think a figure like meloni, of course, the amount of power that she has is very much restricted by the fact that italy is a member of the european union, a supranational entity that restricts sovereignty and self—determination. but i do think that she has done very well in very difficult circumstances. she's far better than the alternative, i think, in italy. and i think it's very significant that across europe, electorates are rejecting big government , socialist rulers. government, socialist rulers. we're seeing that in in france and germany as well. and also we're seeing the rise of euroscepticism in many european countries. so that's a very
4:22 am
healthy development i think. so, no . 110. >> no. >> what's gone wrong in the uk then? >> well, i think depending on well, i think you i think the most important factor here is that you have a conservative government that has in some respects abandoned conservative policies and principles, has made too many concessions to the left and has not delivered upon its promises. actually so the conservative party needs to rebuild itself. i think, over the course of the next five years and once again be a true thatcherite conservative party and then i think it can be successful again. >> do you think the right has faded away in the uk, or just faded away in the uk, orjust the fact that it's split? because if i think i mean, according to many polls, if you if you, you know, joined the reform and the tory vote, you'd probably be neck and neck with laboun probably be neck and neck with labour. no, actually, i think instinctively , inherently, you instinctively, inherently, you know, the british are very conservative people. >> the support for the right is split right down the middle between the conservatives and reform. at present, a lot of conservative voters are very disillusioned with the conservative party because they feel it has abandoned them,
4:23 am
actually. but i would not describe britain as in any way a left wing country . there's not a left wing country. there's not a great deal of enthusiasm, frankly, for keir starmer, even though labour are leading clearly in the polls. but but starmer, i think, is going to be a disastrous, prime minister. and i do think labour are going to make a complete hash of hash of things actually. >> well , i of things actually. >> well, i think once they're in power. >> so i think initially he'll be gifted a very favourable set of economic conditions. inflation of course, has come down. interest rates are going to fall. that means people's mortgages are going to go down. energy prices are going down. so he'll take credit for that even though he hasn't deserved it. but you know, rightly he'll take credit the rishi sunak would do the same. the real test, i guess , is, you know, two years in, three years in when all those things have subsided, you know, and you get into the nitty gritty of government. one quick question before we move on to prince harry, how do you think the likes of angela rayner will handle people like marine le pen or even donald trump in america? do you think she's got it in
4:24 am
her? >> well, i think angela rayner is a walking, calamity. frankly and i think she's somebody who i think she's widely respected amongst tories. i think she has , amongst tories. i think she has, little in the way of diplomatic skills. david lammy, i think, is exactly the same. and you look at some of the comments from laboun at some of the comments from labour, leaders about donald trump, for example, nasty , nasty trump, for example, nasty, nasty comments that they've made in the past , actually. yeah, comments that they've made in the past, actually. yeah, donald trump doesn't forgive and forget easily. no. and he'll hold labour to account if they're in power, that's for sure. >> well, look, one other man who doesn't forgive and forget easily is our very own prince harry. and, you know, he's found himself in hot water again after the decision to give the duke of sussex an award named after a us war hero killed in afghanistan. it's been slammed by the soldier's mother. so the duke will accept the pat tillman award at an award ceremony on july the 11th for his work with injured veterans and the invictus games. but the mother of the late pat tillman , mary.
4:25 am
of the late pat tillman, mary. she slams the decision, questioning why , quote, such a questioning why, quote, such a controversial and divisive , controversial and divisive, divisive individual is set to receive the gong. so niall, is prince harry deserving of the award? and also the so—called sussex squad all over twitter and online. they like to make out that harry and meghan are supremely popular in the us. is that not the case, the sussex squad, frankly, are full of false propaganda, and harry and meghan, i would say, are increasingly unpopular in the united states. and in fact, i described them as two of two of the most unpopular figures in the most unpopular figures in the us today, actually, and harry and meghan are viewed as selfish, narcissistic individuals who have launched attack after attack upon their own family. and have you know, trashed the royal family. and the americans are very , very pro the americans are very, very pro the americans are very, very pro the british monarchy. >> so you think that's why the mother of this late soldier who the award was named after, why she wouldn't, you know, not very keen on on the duke accepting it or even being awarded it.
4:26 am
>> the award. she was absolutely right to attack this, this award. and there's already a big onune award. and there's already a big online petition actually calling for the award not to be given to to, prince harry, and i think that this is an illustration as well, of the fact that , you well, of the fact that, you know, harry and meghan's narcissism does not go down very well in the united states . and well in the united states. and the american, most american people really love the royal family, okay? and they do not look kindly upon harry and meghan basically trashing the royal family in the united states and does not go down very well. they're very divisive figures , and this award is very, figures, and this award is very, very controversial. there's a huge backlash in the united states, and it's an illustration of just how unpopular harry and meghan are on both sides of the atlantic. >> okay, great. and also, you're still fighting for the release of harry's visa application, aren't you? to see whether he did indeed admit to taking drugs? so noelle gardner, thank you. welcome back to the uk. when are you back to the us, next weekend. but i'll be here for the for the uk election. of
4:27 am
course you will. i sincerely hope that britain does not fall in the hands of a disastrous socialist government . socialist government. >> actually. >> actually. >> okay, noel gardner, thanks very much. right. coming up, what do you think about sir keir starmer saying that he wouldn't work 24 over seven as prime minister? we'll get stuck into that as i deliver more of tomorrow's newspaper front pages the press. next. this is patrick christys tonight with
4:28 am
4:29 am
4:30 am
welcome back. patrick christys. tonight with me. ben leo and the first newspapers have just dropped hot off the press. let's start with the guardian, labour would take global lead on climate. that's to according ed miliband. goodness me, the daily mail says britain's forces not ready for conflict of any scale. that's according to an zmd chief. yeah. i mean, we know that the daily express voting reform risks losing hundreds of tory mps for a generation.
4:31 am
that's from, oh, an exclusive op ed from kemi badenoch. actually, reform, of course, would argue voting tory would let labour through the door. the times sir keir starmer a big majority will be best for britain. of course you think that, he says, give labour a strong mandate on thursday and i'll make you better off, leader tells voters i promise. and there's a nice picture there of, emma raducanu, who won her first round match at wimbledon today. well done emma. fingers crossed the metro. never mind the ballots the pm rejects. swinney's claim, the leader of the snp , john swinney, that the snp, john swinney, that voters have been disenfranchised ahead of thursday's poll. also at the top fears is far right at the gates of power in france and the gates of power in france and the daily telegraph, royal mail blames for postal vote chaos. minister criticises unacceptable delays as uncertainty spreads to almost 100 seats. so i mean just scrap postal votes surely. and there's so much controversy over them. another great shot of emma raducanu there, fresh off the back of, you know, a pretty horrendous injuries over the past recent years . and this past recent years. and this story down the bottom here i may not work after six as pm
4:32 am
suggests sir keir starmer. well i mean that leads us nicely into our chat now with the press pack. daily express columnist carole malone, broadcaster and journalist benjamin butterworth and the founding chairman for global britain uk. a man bojo. so let's look at that story again, so keir starmer delivered this message to voters earlier today. let's take a quick look at this clip. >> it has to be a summer of change. this campaign, this positive labour campaign is for you. and the fight for change is for you. >> yeah. very good. change, change, change. however speaking about his personal life on virgin radio , sir keir caused virgin radio, sir keir caused quite a stir on a friday. >> i've been doing this for years. i will not do a work related thing after 6:00 pretty well come what may. related thing after 6:00 pretty well come what may . yeah, some well come what may. yeah, some people think if you fill your diary 24 over seven and don't do anything else that makes you a much better decision maker, i don't agree with that. i think you've got to make space, carol. >> not putting a shift in after
4:33 am
six. >> this guy has waited years to get this job. he's promising to change the country, and yet he's actually saying he's a 9 to 5 or in this case, a 9 to 6. that shows a total lack of commitment. what does this look like on a world stage for this bloke? the incoming prime minister, to say he only won't work beyond six on a friday. you know what's going to happen if there's a cabinet meeting about national security? is he going to is he going to bog off at 6:00? is he going to go home and say, i've got to go home to the kids, boys. sorry about that. this this makes him look ridiculous, not committed. it also shows he has no clue as to what the job of a real politician is. he's had years languishing in opposition. >> now his his argument is saying that you know, i need a little bit of space to spend time with my kids. and as a dad, i kind of agree with that, but of course, don't know of course, if there's an invasion of a country, he's not going to say sorry, guys, i'm just don't go do some paedo with the boys. >> don't go for pm if you're going to have to take family time off all the time. the job
4:34 am
is a very special job. it's a very different job and it needs time and it needs commitment. and he clearly hasn't got it. >> benjamin well, the man vying to be prime minister says he still wants to be a good dad and be pm. >> what a monster. don't let him near power. i mean it's a desperate insult. and of course, you know, let's put this another way. he's actually said this quite a few times before. i've heard him say it on podcasts in recent years, but clearly it's going to get a lot of attention right now. now, would you say to a politician that says, i insist on going to church with my family on a sunday morning, would you kick up a fuss about that? i don't think you would, because keir starmer, when he's previously explained why he does this, it's because his family is jewish and they have shabbat dinner on a friday evening. now, i think that is a perfectly admirable thing. and if this were a sunday morning church service, i don't think it would get this. >> if there's a major national emergency and he takes time off on a friday, i think there's no doubt that he would do his job in that situation. >> can i just point out you said cobra meetings? well, boris johnson was skipping cobra meetings to write a book about winston churchill. and famously he was falling asleep in his office in the afternoons and having naps. of course, he knew
4:35 am
he wasn't going because he doesn't know our boss, rishi sunak today has come out and said i would be working 24 over seven. >> of course, i wouldn't be taking friday night. >> well, look, the gold standard when it comes to world leaders is prime minister modi. he worked 16 to 18 hours a day daily. running, you know, running the nation as prime minister. but of course, we wouldn't expect that from from a socialist like keir starmer. i mean , it's sur sleepy, but the mean, it's sur sleepy, but the fact is never caught on that. well, look, the fact is, keir starmer i mean the fact is, look, he's already beholden to angela rayner as the real leader behind the scenes. and i would i would imagine he'll be well, look , he's as prime minister. look, he's as prime minister. >> i'd probably more say someone like tony blair pulling the strings. >> i mean, well, i mean as as as prime minister, he'll be beholden to the hard left unions number one. >> number two, he'll be delegating a lot of it to angela raynen delegating a lot of it to angela rayner. and number three, let's be honest, if he's going to be clocking off at 6:00, well, who's going to be signing all the red boxes? it's going to be angela rayner again . so this is angela rayner again. so this is what it's a different attitude isn't it though because for
4:36 am
years he has been languishing in opposition and not doing the job of a real politician. >> now suddenly the real job is in front of him and he's sticking by the rules he had when he was when he was in opposition. >> you'd think to bring in all this change. he thought that he'd be working 24 hours a day. but, i mean, this is just a ridiculous argument because the idea that anybody of any political persuasion who gets a senior cabinet job doesn't take literally 2 or 3 hours a week to see their own family is absurd. >> yeah. you know, chief executives of the biggest companies in the world. but but this is what keir starmer said. >> but as british prime minister, you get to live with your family. >> he didn't say he was knock off at six. he said he takes a few hours on a friday night. sorry he did. >> he said you get to work from home. >> he said, i will not do a work related thing after 6 pm, but pretty well come off the other half. >> rishi could do it one at a time, he said on fridays. >> right. so that's very different to say. he's knocking off at six. >> are you telling me, ben, that rishi doesn't want to spend any time with his family, with his two daughters? i'm sure if rishi can do it, why can't starmer? >> i'm sure, i'm sure sorry. i'm
4:37 am
sure. >> rishi sunak sunak was a bad person for working 24 over seven on behalf of the country and he's a good. yes, he was, he was he's a good. yes, he was, he was he was absolutely saying that. he said politics. some people think if you fill your diary 24 over seven, then don't do anything else makes you a better decision maker. he was talking about. >> okay, let's let's ask ben this was tony blair knocking off at 6:00. no well i'm sure. well, look. hang on. go. go on, go on a kid while he was in, downing street. >> well, so was he knocking off at six? >> i think, on the issue of children, as a dad of two, i do think i think being a family man is going to is going to be useful to have an experience of the world that isn't 24 over seven locked in downing street. >> i'm sorry, but i don't think that makes you a good decision maker. >> i don't think carol sir keir starmer mentioned rishi sunak by name when he was talking about work life balance. >> it's clear who he was talking about. >> yeah, i mean, as a dad, again, i think there's something in taking a few hours that that will make your life better because you're not feeling guilty about, you know, missing the kids and so on. >> and of course, if something happened, he's not going to say, no, leave me alone. go and speak
4:38 am
to angela. >> probably the most important job in the country, would she? >> the most important job is being a father. >> would she doesn't yet have. i'm talking about a job. being a father is not a job, okay? it is the most important. and he already hasn't got it yet. he's talking about how much time he's going. >> let me just bring you this next story because it was breaking on social media today. >> i'm not sure if you guys saw it, but top bbc presenter david aaronovitch has sparked fury after calling on us president joe biden. get this to have donald trump murdered. yes, you heard that right. so the radio four presenter said on x, formerly twitter, if i was biden, i'd hurry up and have trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to america's security. he's now deleted that tweet and clarified that it was, in fact, all one big joke. ha ha. very funny, he said. there's now a far right pile on suggesting that my tweet about the supreme court's ruling on presidential immunity is an incitement to violence when it's plainly a satire. so i'm deleting it. if nothing else, though, it's giving me a map of some of the daftest people on this site. carol, what's going through? i mean, there's so much going on here. you know, the fact that he's a bbc presenter, the fact he's blaming a far
4:39 am
right pylon, he has made a huge cock up and he's trying to blame what he calls the far right and what he calls the far right and what he calls the far right and what he means is people who aren't left, not far right at all. >> and he's blaming them for not understanding his sick joke about president trump. you know, he's he said, you know, he's trying to make out that the people who misunderstood his joke are pretty stupid. he actually said these were the daftest people on twitter. no they just don't like for some, they just don't like for some, the incitement to murder. >> so they just don't like heanng >> so they just don't like hearing benjamin michael crick lie—ins from you intelligence. >> well, the supreme court thing had said that if you do things in an official capacity, then you have, then you're immune from the law. >> you're not defending this tweet, are you? >> seriously? >> seriously? >> well, yes, because it's called satire. >> so, oh, come on. >> satirising it by saying, oh well, you could take, you know, how many mps have been murdered in this country in recent years? >> david amess. >> david amess. >> oh, god, i wouldn't write it, but i'm saying it was jo cox. he was saying that the threat to other mps. >> you are you're defending that tweet. are you being serious? >> someone should be killed. he was satirising the fact. no, he was. >> he wasn't. >> he wasn't. >> so why did he? why did he delete it? >> people did not get why did he
4:40 am
delete it? >> why did he stand by it? >> why did he stand by it? >> well, because people were misinterpreting it. so why didn't he defend it? people are. people were murdered. >> it's a very simple matter. >> it's a very simple matter. >> january 6th. and that is what trump is being. you are out of order. >> a man one people were murdered on january 6th. >> and that's what trump is a very simple man who was murdered on january the 6th. there were people shot and killed in the in the riot. do you know who who was killed on january the 6th? >> republican protesters who went there, they were killed by police officers. >> if you raid, if you raid, you've seen your country's government and you look that. >> so he told you that now we've we've seen does it make we've seen overnight the left protesting, throwing its toys out of the pram, violent protests in france because they cannot stand democracy. >> the leftist the left is everything. they accuse the right of violent out of control and simply anti—democratic. >> benjamin just there was a police officer killed on january the 6th, but he died as far as i remember, of natural causes. he wasn't murdered by any rioters. and the fact you're defending somebody, calling for the arranged murder. >> but he wasn't calling for that at all. but that's exactly what he was saying, the idea. >> so why did he delete it?
4:41 am
>> so why did he delete it? >> he was satirising the immunity of the press. >> get it is stupid . no they're not. >> well, you said it. >> well, you said it. >> he's stupid for saying it. >> he's stupid for saying it. >> all right, carol benjamin, a man. thank you very much. now, we have another special program on wednesday, and you are ianed on wednesday, and you are invited to be part of it. join patrick's live studio audience for vote 2024. the verdict on patrick christys tonight, as he takes a look back on the twists and turns of the general election campaign before the polls open on thursday, we'll have heavyweight political guests, top pundits to analyse an extraordinary six weeks and the event begins at 8:30 and you can find tickets @gbnews .com right now. okay. coming up, an amateur sleuth claims to have found a new clue in the for search missing brit jay slater in tenerife. so will spanish police wrong to call off the search after only two weeks? we'll discuss that and more as i deliver more tomorrow's front . next. this is patrick
4:42 am

4:44 am
patrick christys. tonight with me. ben. leo another newspaper has just dropped hot off the press. it's the daily mirror, exclusive from gordon brown. give our children hope, gordon brown today urges voters to back laboun brown today urges voters to back labour. carol sighing to end the scandal of children growing up in abject poverty. there we go. and england holds its breath. euros ban fear forjude euros ban fear for jude bellingham after his, i guess you can describe it as a lewd gesture, in that slovakia game yesterday, he reckons, he said on twitter that he was just having inside jokes with a friend . but yeah, remains to be friend. but yeah, remains to be seen, now , police in tenerife seen, now, police in tenerife have called off the search for jay slater, but the teenager's family, friends and some locals haven't given up hope as they continue to look for the missing
4:45 am
brit and now even amateur tiktok sleuths have flooded social media with theories about his disappearance, with one person finding a pair of broken sunglasses near the area. jay slater's phone was last tracked , slater's phone was last tracked, which i have to say looked very similar to these ones. the teenageris similar to these ones. the teenager is pictured wearing the day before he went missing, joined again by carol benjamin, a man, a man. should police be taking note of these armchair detectives? i mean, why have they called off the search after two weeks, for starters? >> well, i would say. i mean, look, most of these things, i think it's better to trust the police who are dealing with these type of things day in and day out, rather than any tiktok wallahs that might come and place. you do not feel there's something slightly, you know, fishy about this whole . well, i fishy about this whole. well, i mean, it's a bit of a mystery, isn't it? but, again, we can hark back to what happened with madeleine mccann, i mean, that went for on years. is it one of those things i guess, benjamin, the difference between this and madeleine mccann and i worked quite extensively on maddie's stories. >> when i was at the sun, i went
4:46 am
to germany. i went to portugal. did you know many, many weeks there investigating it? she was just a child who was kidnapped. she was what? you know, three years old. was it, jay slater? of course. it's all come out now. i'm not saying it's linked, but it's all come out of his background with previous, you know, violent incidents and whatever else. is this the same kind of thing? are you getting the. >> you know, i mean, i'm reminded of the nicola bulley case when lots of people were investigating online. it did far more harm than good and led to lots of misinformation. that was unpleasant for the family. and so, you know, this might be really quite difficult, but the idea that it's been called off after 14 days, you can't imagine the anguish that the mum feels in that situation. and you mentioned maddie mccann, you know , they did what any parent know, they did what any parent would do, but they were middle class and had access to media friends to get the attention. you know . you know. >> oh, are you making it a class thing now? no, but but this jay slater has been on our tvs and newspapers for the past two weeks, which is that, you know, this family doesn't have the kind of financial resource to pursue it out of their own pocket like other people have been able to. >> so it must be very difficult.
4:47 am
they've just raised 36 grand on a gofundme. hasn't the mum taken on 40 something? >> yeah. and they've been encouraged to spend that and get a team of investigators over there. but you know, the thing is we don't know why the spanish police have called off this hunt. there could very there could be a very good reason for it. and they're not going to tell us. they don't have to tell the courts and the authorities what they found until much later. they're allowed to, to carry on. so there is a reason they've called this search off. maybe it's to do with resources. they have a finite amount of resources. i suspect it's something. >> well, the spanish police, i mean, interestingly, i found it quite strange. they said in their statement about cutting their statement about cutting the search short that they said if the story around jay's last movements is true , then there's movements is true, then there's no way he would have survived. but i just think the way they worded that was quite interesting. now moving on, anti—brexit protester steve bray had a rather interesting run in with jacob rees—mogg as the politician was driving down the high street in his jaguar. should we see what happens when bray tries to speak to him? how are you doing? >> are you gonna come back? rule britannia please? yes, rule
4:48 am
britannia, we're patriotic to. >> yes, i'm so happy to see steve bray mugged off like that. the amount of times i've been down to westminster, he's been there banging out his rubbish tunes on his loudspeaker, which i think he's finally been to told turn off now. carole malone, thoughts on i love jacob rees—mogg because he's always he's an utterly polite even to someone who does that him, and i love that about him. >> he's never rude to anyone. >> he's never rude to anyone. >> benjamin well, of course steve bray is the guy that played. things can only get better as rishi sunak tried to announce the general election. >> he's a menace, absolutely menace. >> i think he wins. >> i think he wins. >> look, sirjacob is brilliant. absolutely rule, britannia! yes. >> good man. can i just say noxiously loud for a car, though? >> you know, if you're going down the high street playing anything that loud, i think steve bray deserves all the decibels he can get. >> right. time now for tonight's greatest britain and union jackass. carol, your gb nominee, please. >> okay . mine please. >> okay. mine is an please. >> okay . mine is an honorary >> okay. mine is an honorary brit. it's a nine times wimbledon champ , martina wimbledon champ, martina navratilova, who was gay, as we all know, and a huge supporter
4:49 am
of the lgbt community. but she says she's been dumped by a lot of groups within that community because of her support for safe spaces for women and because of her perfectly sensible views. the trans woman should be kept out of women's sport. benjamin, my greatest britain i wasn't finished, but anyway, i'll just shut up now. so it has to be patrick and emily christie's the artist formerly known as emily carver. yeah, they got married yesterday and it was an absolutely beautiful ceremony, there i am with with the bride and groom. >> oh, beautiful. look at emily. not you. benjamin emily hand stunning. >> you know, he'll do anything to win this. and he will do anything to win. >> patrick rafe a fantastic wedding speech. so good that it was the first monologue he's delivered that i actually agreed with very quickly. >> any gossip who got the most slaughtered? >> i still got a hangover. >> i still got a hangover. >> yeah, i'm still hungover. maybe it was me , yeah. a man maybe it was me, yeah. a man who? your gb, please, well, mine is only this week it's marine le pen for showing europe the way in, rescuing it from the clutches of left. voila, valkyrie. >> wow. it's got to be marine. i'm only joking. no, of course .

4:53 am
a pretty mild start to the day tomorrow, but like i said, a cloudy, damp, tomorrow, but like i said, a cloudy, damp , drizzly start here cloudy, damp, drizzly start here further north, a bit of a brighter start, particularly across eastern parts of scotland. a good deal of sunshine early on here. further west we will see some showery rain pushing its way in and that's going to turn a bit more persistent, a bit more widespread as we go through the day across northern ireland, much of northern england through the morning, it's looking mostly dry, some bright sunny spells. watch out for a few showers across parts of wales, perhaps northwest england, and then a real west east split across much of central southern england. with that cloud and that drizzly rain, i mentioned across eastern parts. most of that, though, will clear away as we go through the day. and so it is going to turn a little bit drier and brighter here. further north, a slightly different story. yes, there will be some sunny breaks around , but i am expecting some around, but i am expecting some showery rain to push its way in across parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland. and some of this could be on the heavy side. temperatures around average for the time of year, just about scraping into the low 20s towards the south. wednesday
4:54 am
looks like a pretty wet day for many of us. the rain may not be especially heavy, but it's going to be fairly widespread. most places likely to see some wet weather at times could even be some low cloud, some hill fog, and some strong, blustery winds to watch out for as well. for many, thursday looks like it will be a brighter day, but could be quite windy for some of us before more rain on friday. bye bye. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . sponsors of boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on gb news
