next. >> very good evening to you. it's just after 9:00. and the top story tonight is, of course, that britain has a new prime minister, sir keir starmer has already appointed his top team just hours after entering downing street today. and some of his new cabinet have started to get to work already . wes to get to work already. wes streeting, now health secretary, has promised to sit down with junior doctors in england next week to try and end their ongoing strike action and the new foreign secretary, david lammy, has pledged to do all he can to support an immediate ceasefire in the israel—gaza conflict, while the uk also now has its first ever female chancellor, with rachel reeves taking on that role. earlier, she outlined her plans for the economy to staff at the treasury, saying her central mission is to restore growth . mission is to restore growth. >> to deliver on this mission, i want to be the most pro—growth treasury in our country's history. that will mean doing what the treasury does best building growth on a rock of economic stability. but it also

means taking on new challenges and new responsibilities to fix the foundations to and rebuild britain . britain. >> meanwhile, the us president is among world leaders congratulating sir keir starmer tonight on his election win in a call with the new prime minister, joe biden said that he looks forward to their shared work supporting freedom and democracy . and earlier, sir keir democracy. and earlier, sir keir starmer met with the king to accept the job of prime minister sir keir starmer. >> your majesty, your majesty, dunng >> your majesty, your majesty, during that historic meeting at buckingham palace, king charles told the labour leader he must be utterly exhausted as he acknowledged the challenge of getting to grips with the role of prime minister and before appointing his new cabinet, sir keir starmer gave his first speech outside downing street , speech outside downing street, promising to rebuild trust in politics. >> this wound , this lack of >> this wound, this lack of trust can only be healed by actions, not words . i know that ,

actions, not words. i know that, but we can make a start today with the simple acknowledgement that public service is a privilege and that your government should treat every single person in this country with respect . with respect. >> so a recap of the numbers, then, and labour's landslide of 412 seats has left the conservatives with just 121 seats. the conservatives will, of course, now be looking to plan their next steps after rishi sunak announced he will be stepping down as leader following their worst ever election defeat. the liberal democrats triumphed last night with 71 seats, a huge increase from their previous total of 11. the snp left with nine, the greens on two and you can see there on your screen the other parties sukh figures two. meanwhile, reform uk have claimed their fifth seat, up from four originally with a narrow majority of 98 votes

after a recount in basildon , after a recount in basildon, south and east thurrock. the unexpected win comes just hours after nigel farage was heckled as he took to the stage at an eventin as he took to the stage at an event in london. take a listen. you're a ruling class broad, bonng you're a ruling class broad, boring , you're a ruling class broad, boring, boring . well, you're a ruling class broad, boring , boring . well, the reform boring, boring. well, the reform leader was forced to delay that speech multiple times while security staff removed protesters from the venue. but he joked that it was good preparation for his new role as an mp in the house of commons. and finally , before we hand back and finally, before we hand back to patrick some sports news for you. emma raducanu is into the last 16 at wimbledon after an impressive straight sets win over maria sakkari tonight, she knocked out the ninth seed under the roof on centre court, who she also beat in her run to the us open title in 2021. and it's also been confirmed shortly after that victory that raducanu will partner andy murray in the mixed doubles tomorrow. in the final match on number one court. those are the latest headlines.

not. i decided that i would not boring. i'm enjoying this . >> any >> any more >> any more for >> any more for any >> any more for any more >> any more for any more ? >> any more for any more? actually, yes. oh >> oh, yeah . >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> well, anyway, they're going to get a lot more of this, aren't they? what's the other day? >> what was i going to do for the black community? do you know what i said? nothing. absolutely nothing. i couldn't give a damn whether you're black or white, whether you're black or white, whether you're black or white, whether you're gay or straight. i really don't care. you'll be judged by your character on the opinion polls among young people are fascinating. >> so among 16 to 17 year olds, reform are the second most popular party behind labour. apparently they are the joint

most popular with boys. the tory wipe—out could have been avoided, couldn't it? the only thing they had to do was reduce immigration. that's it. this whole thing could have been avoided if they'd just reduced immigration. well, everything in britain as of today is now, sir keir starmer's problem, isn't it? do we think labour are going to get to grips with it? well, quite possibly not. and i think nigel farage might only just be getting started. let's get your thoughts on my panel this evening. i'm joined by former bbc chief political correspondent and itvs, as well as john sergeant. we've got apprentice starjoana as john sergeant. we've got apprentice star joana jarjue as john sergeant. we've got apprentice starjoana jarjue and former tory minister robert halfon. look, robert, i will start with you, if that's okay, because you're not a great night for the conservatives at nigel farage is on the charge. i wonder whether all of this could have just been avoided. if you guys had reduced net migration. >> well, of course, if we'd been able to reduce immigration substantially, it would have helped. but i do think the

situation is much more complex because lots of voters who voted reform would have been from laboun reform would have been from labour. they're not just from the conservatives. you've got also to remember that millions of people who are not activists , of people who are not activists, labour people are not activist, liberal democrats are voting labour or are voting liberal, and they tend to be floating voters. the majority of our country is, you know, millions of floating voters who vote differently each, each election. so the fact is, we've lost a lot because the country unfortunately wanted to give us the conservatives, a hammering. and so they voted in any way which they could in order to try and, you know, punish us for for, things that had gone on over the past past few years. >> all right, john, we look at our electoral system there reform more than 4 million votes. they've got five seats. they've come second in 98 other seats, apparently the lib dems 3.5 million votes, 71 seats. is there a problem? there do you think? well, no. >> i mean, you've got to accept that it's a very different

system from one that would have pr. so you've got to either adapt to that system if you want to win or complain and say change the system. bear in mind if you want to change the system, you've got a government that's benefited enormously from first past the post. so the idea that labour will suddenly be overcome by a feeling of conscience and how awful the system has worked , they won't. system has worked, they won't. they'll think we hold on to this system because we've done so well. that's that's called politics. >> joanna, when you have a look at the way that certain activist groups or individuals have gone after nigel, i mean, we played what was quite a funny montage there of people going after him. do you think they realise that actually, that all just makes him more popular, >> no. i think that, you know, people are angry at the end of the day and i think that people see nigel farage, whether you love him or hate him, as a potentially dangerous candidate, you know, some people see him as racist. and there have been some things in the past that he said that have been racist and for me, i've always is there

anything that stands out for you, particularly there? yeah. i mean, the fact that he said that, principles of enoch powell's speech, he agrees with and he said stuff about, the c word with chinese people. there's been a few things that he said that maybe to some people are debateable, but for the majority of people are just categorically racist. obviously the breaking point poster as well. and i think that reform reform obviously a focus so much on immigration. i do wonder in the next four years, let's just say, and miraculously, the labour party do get to fix the immigration problem or do get to make people's lives better in a way that they're actually distracted and don't kind of have someone to specifically blame, and le. the immigrants . blame, and le. the immigrants. whether reforms whole agenda will have a leg to stand on, because i don't really see much weight to a lot of the other policies that they've got. >> but one thing i think is interesting, though, robert, is that all of the things that joanna said are, you know, there are there are publicly available. you can go and have a look at those things. and it does just appear that quite a lot of people don't seem to care

about that and that, especially when you look at the 16 to 17 year olds that i mentioned earlier, there were reform being the second most popular party. there's something going on out there, isn't there? people feel very disenfranchised. people feel like the social contract. i think, has been shattered. and if labour don't get to grips with some of the key problems facing this country, i think that man on people's screens there right now will start to be there right now will start to be the alternative. >> yeah, well, i actually think these demonstrators, i'm not a faragist, but i do think that these demonstrators play play into farage's hands. and i did get members of the public in my former constituency of harlow, where i used to be mp. they, you know, they, they, they want to be able to vote reform without being called racist. there are a lot of very good, decent people, even though i don't necessarily agree with reform, i'm a conservative. they want to be able to vote and they hate the fact that people call them racist. and that. and the more that that happens, the more that people won't understand what is going on, and that people are upset that the they perceived that the conservatives were not able to deal with the migration problem. i do think it's a very complex problem. i do think it's easy for reform just to get up

and shout. it's a terrible show. a bit like that guy from the muppets at the statler and waldorf or whatever, but it is much more complex. but but nevertheless, people out there in certain parts of the uk are worried or anxious. i don't think they're racist people, but they just feel that we, you know, our infrastructure is under strain, that, you know, we are an overcrowded nation and they have genuine beliefs and they have genuine beliefs and they want people to deal with it. >> i also it.- >> i also do it. >> i also do think that seriously, now, you know, there are huge numbers of people out there in this country who lived in an area all their lives or moved to an area for a particular reason, and then all of a sudden, that hotel at the end of their road is now a migrant hotel, and they don't particularly like that, and they don't particularly feel safe. i think they do feel as though there's a struggle to access gp appointments. i think they look at things like labour's plans of 1.5 million new social houses, but allowing people who've claimed asylum to come and live in those. when you look at the numbers of people on a backlog and expected to arrive, that could clog up a lot of that

social housing, and i just wonder whether or not there's a lack of a sense of fairness there as well. john, do you see when you see the richard tice has done well, lee anderson has done well, nigel has done well, obviously a couple of others as well, rupert lowe being one of them. they say they've established a bridgehead now in policy. >> i think the problem is i suppose, and certainly obviously a lot of people feel very strongly about immigration. big issue, very important tax is another one though. >> and there's no question about that. >> and a lot of people feel strongly about it. they want it to happen. but everything now depends. i think, on what are the opportunities for protest. i mean, this has been a long running period up to the election. and what you can't do is assume that it'll all go on the same way. tories will be arguing amongst themselves. there'll be issues of immigration. people will be going into nigel farage meetings and try and disrupt them. but hold on a moment. there's been an election with a completely different political structure, and you've got to be very careful in assuming that, oh, well, so we'll all carry on the same way people won't. everything changes with the

election. you can go through a whole variety of things that happen, but one of the problems is don't say, oh, well, you wait till the next election, okay, it's five years. and you say dunng it's five years. and you say during that five years, which may last a full five years, you will have a government with potentially an enormous majority thatis potentially an enormous majority that is quite different from let's have factional struggles within the conservative you do, then we do this. >> then it's like, what do you what do you do with that? majority is the thing. so if people out there because because we're going to come on to this when we look at labour in more detail at the top of the next houn detail at the top of the next hour. but when you see like the vote share that labour got, for example. oh sure. >> around the same all that's less votes than corbyn in 2017 pressing if they if they decide to press ahead with policies because they think they've got a massive mandate for those policies, when i don't think they do. i know, patrick, but they do. i know, patrick, but the problem is, is that if you're running up to an election, you can then say all these things will become important because of the election. all i'm saying is, don't expect that rhythm to

continue because they don't. it does do. is there a by—election? is there a moment when in fact, or is there a surge in boat people we're expecting that all those things may happen, then these rows, then start up and there may be demonstrations. >> maybe he's got the personality. this is the thing. and i'll come on to you about this, joanna, because i worry. i don't worry, actually, i wonder whether or not this is the most difficult thing for keir starmer going forward, which is that keir starmer is not mr personality , he's not blair. personality, he's not blair. fair enough. we're all different people. but nigel farage has got a lot of charisma. that's part of his package. and keir starmer will have someone in the house of commons there pointing at things going wrong and say we have record days in the channel, which we are expecting someone there who has got a force of personality and i would i would be worried about that if i was keir starmer. yeah yeah, yeah. >> and it's one of the things that worries me as well. it worries me that, you know, three out of the four reform candidates that have been able to get elected are quite big personalities that were already

aware of, obviously, richard tice lee anderson and then nigel farage. that's basically a triple threat. that's going to be huge for keir starmer in the in the house of commons. i think in the house of commons. i think in terms of personality, we've criticised him as boring. is this all this way through? and it hasn't made a difference and he's still being able to win the election, but what i find really interesting is that especially i want to go back to what john was saying before about proportional representation, before when it was, boris smashing the red wall. nobody cared about the vote share at that point. you know, nobody was actually saying, well, actually, hang on a minute. at this point, you know, corbyn was getting like 10 million votes. yeah. 2015, it was 12 million votes. and then it seemed as if when it switches and well, not yet the other side then. >> i mean, nigel did always care about that because of his thing about, i think when he was running for ukip and i think it was a similar setup, actually, but they got no seats, didn't they? and he got about 4 million votes. so. so he has always been quite consistent. >> but i do think it's also served him in the past being in the european parliament as well. obviously that's the only way.

previously he's been able to get elected. >> well exactly. but you know i think there is a case for it. and we look around at this election result now and it's a slightly odd one because massive labour majority that's undeniable. but serious question marks over how popular keir starmer is. personally, fewer votes than jeremy corbyn got in 2017, you also look at his own majority. actually, keir starmer is going from about 22,000 to, i think, about 11,500, so you look at it and you think , well, at it and you think, well, there's not a particular honeymoon period there at for all him, yeah. but just just to, just to round this off about how do the conservatives now deal with nigel farage? so this is a kind of next leadership question, isn't it. they've got to get this right haven't they. >> yeah. well the worst thing i think we could do is just rush into a leadership contest straight away. what i think we really need to do is have a caretaker leader for a while, actually examine what's gone wrong, go around the country actually listening to members of the public working out what our values are, and then setting out our stall and then the different leadership candidates can, can come forward. but i think, you know, you've just had the

biggest defeats we've ever had as a political party. you know, for only five years ago, it looked like we were going to rule the place for a long, long time. it's hard to believe, really, what has gone on. and i think that the party needs to sort of come together, work out where what it stands for, work out what it wants to do, work out what it wants to do, work out how to deal with nigel farage. we're not going to be able to decide that in a couple of days after after election. the one thing i do think is that if you know, i'm not one of these people who say we should merge into reform, you know, the guy has wanted to burn our house down. if you want to burn, if someone burns your house down, you don't say, well, come. and you don't say, well, come. and you know we'll scoop up the remains together. what we need to do is to be a conservative party. but absolutely be clear about our narrative , our values, about our narrative, our values, and what we stand for. and i think that is what has been difficult for people to understand over the past few years. all right. >> very quick. i think the temptation for the conservatives will be to move to the right in the same way that labour, when they were badly defeated, moved to the left. what then happens is that as the election comes on

the horizon , they tend then to the horizon, they tend then to move to the centre because that's how you win british elections. well we'll see. >> yeah, we'll see, won't we? >> about all of that. and i know there's a big hoo ha about whether or not the argument of oh well if the conservatives veered to the right then that will be it also depends on what you mean, what you say that. but then. but then look where they've lost their votes. it depends what you mean. to the right. it depends. >> it depends what you mean by the centre. so for example, in my area, people want us to deal with immigration, but they also want us to spend money on public services for example. >> all right. because i think one of the big things for nigel is, you know, he's had everything thrown at him in this campaign and races and wires and all that. he's overcome it. it could be quite a dangerous operator now, but it's still to come. as the green party celebrates its record four seat win, i'll be joined by their former deputy leader, sara ali. now george galloway's right hand man is also coming on to discuss the fact that we have five honourable members for gaza sitting in the house of commons. now, george galloway is, of course, not one of them. but up next, do you believe in this

man? >> so my government will fight every day until you believe again. >> alex armstrong goes head to head with former labour mp sian simon on whether our new prime minister, sir keir starmer, will implode. this is patrick christys tonight we're on gb news

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight we are on gb news. will sir keir starmer

implode? it's time now for. i had to had . so sir keir is had to had. so sir keir is bedding in for the long haul as prime minister, isn't he. and he wants us all to buy into that. well here is what he said outside downing street earlier today. >> and so my government will fight every day until you believe again. i invite you all to join this government of service in the mission of national renewal . national renewal. >> yeah, but is it really going to be so straightforward for the new prime minister? the country is skint, the nhs is seemingly in permanent crisis. his own party could easily split into different factions and they face the prospect of a potentially revitalised tory party under a new leader. although we'll have to wait and see for that. and a right wing threat from reform. so joining me now to discuss this is former labour mp and mep shaun simon. and political commentator alex armstrong. commentator alex arm strong. thank commentator alex armstrong. thank you so much for joining commentator alex armstrong. thank you so much forjoining me tonight. great stuff to have you both on. look, sean, i'll start with you. okay. massive majority

people have called this the loveless landslide for sir keir though. no honeymoon period. do you think he might implode ? you think he might implode? >> but he's not going to implode, but you're right that he's got a very difficult job and he's been. it wasn't the clip that you showed, but in that, in that speech, he was also very clear that it's going to be a very difficult job, rachel reeves said. in not in so many words. you know, we're asking there's very little money they bought themselves in in terms of tax in terms of, borrowing the public services are in a terrible, terrible state. it is going to be a very slow to business make incremental progress over a penod incremental progress over a period of years. and what he's saying is we're going to be honest about it. and you know, we'll do what we can and we'll, we'll, we'll be sober and stable, but we're not going to make promises we can't keep. >> all right, alex, i'll bring you in here. now, i think there are various different aspects of our society that do need radical

change. okay. and you look at a new health secretary who won by a margin of something like 500 votes last night . labour seem votes last night. labour seem incredibly squiffy when it comes to illegal immigration. i think legal migration is tipped to go down a bit anyway, although people would regard that as still being too high. every problem in this country is now sir keir starmer's problem do you think he can deal with deal with it ? with it? >> well, patrick, he's the most unpopular prime minister coming into government. you know, his own approval rating is 8. that's the lowest on record for a an incoming government and incoming prime minister his own constituency. he dropped 16,000 votes. and as you correctly said earlier, pat, labour's only increased its vote share by a tiny, insignificant amount over the last few years compared to 2019. he is not a popular person. let's get this right. the country didn't vote for a labour landslide. in fact, they didn't really want this result at all. they're just so

disenfranchised and we saw that with the low turnout figures, extremely low turnout figures equivalent to what is it, 2005? i think it was or 2001 that nobody really wants this massive labour government and quite frankly, angela rayner is going to be scratching on the front doors of number 10. she can't wait to get herself in there. and if you speak to any labour politicos and any labour advisers, they'll all tell you that the infighting began months ago and that they all can't wait to watch keir starmer be brought down and be and have a left wing leader installed. that's the reality that that is like that is literally just made up. >> i mean, well it's not. yeah. yeah yeah it is because, because l, yeah yeah it is because, because i, i am one of those people. i am one of those people and you're not. and that is, that is the opposite of the truth. there is absolutely no prospect of keir starmer being internally assaulted or brought down by angela rayner or any of the cabinet or any of the

backbenchers. it was incredibly striking today . every single striking today. every single cabinet minister that spoke was falling over themselves to pay tribute and homage to keir starmer. i mean, it is literally can i just can i just ask you on that, on that? >> sean? literally. okay >> sean? literally. okay >> literally just made that up. >> literally just made that up. >> okay. sure. >> okay. sure. >> just just very, very quickly. patrick i did i did used to work for the labour party. so i've got some very, very good insight. listen, let me talk. hang on. you just you just spoke. you don't need to shout. >> one at a time. one at a time. shapps. one at a time, please. go on. alex, come back to that. >> like i have plenty of good labour sources. i've spoken to plenty of them. not only not only in my own social circles and my own sources, but but within other people in the media who are also labour politicos, so this is not a lie, unfortunately. and i know you're going to have to come here and praise keir starmer, but that the infighting we know has already begun to pray. >> i don't have to pray. his guest. indeed, i haven't praised keir starmer. i've just i've just pointed out why not just out of interest, sean. >> why? why not. yeah. but why why haven't you praised keir starmer? >> well, i haven't had a chance

yet because i've had to be pointed out that alex is just making stuff up. if i was going to praise keir starmer and praise him, i'm not claiming that he's barack obama. he's he's he does have a low popularity rating for an incoming prime minister. but i don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. i mean, do you not think that he knows that you're not thinking it's not a bad thing? >> what, a prime minister having a low approval rating, he's got a low approval rating, he's got a lower approval rating than bofis a lower approval rating than boris johnson and jeremy corbyn. i mean, this is absolutely ridiculous to say that, isn't it? i mean, this is the desperate. we're already labour's already less than 24 hours time. >> let's get him. sure. let's let's go for sean. >> sean, it's not a popularity contest, is it? it's not, it's not. it's a knockout. it's not reality tv. it's government. and it requires serious sober experience. >> and it also requires people to have confidence in the prime minister. >> it is good about keir starmer. what is good about keir starmer, for example, is that he was the director of public prosecutions. he he made a living out of prosecuting

criminal gangs. he was the chief executive effectively , of the executive effectively, of the crown prosecution service with 7000 staff, half £1 billion budget. he has actually directed, unfortunately for him on. >> yeah. okay sean, i will, i will, i will stay with i will stay with you sean, on this i mean to counter that slightly, it is also quite unfortunate for sir keir starmer that he did also sign a letter to get a load of criminals off a deportation flight, and at least one of those people did end up going on to murder someone. so if he's going to take responsibility, which he's perfectly entitled to do by the way, for all of the good things that he's done as director of public prosecutions, he also has to take some responsibility for some of the bad things he's done in other capacities as well. when it comes to law and order. but can i just ask you, sean, we mentioned a bit about the cabinet there and look. yeah, okay. all tripping over themselves as you would expect to, you know, praise massive landslide. great stuff. right fine. when you look at david lammy been incredibly fruity about donald trump. also, we played a clip earlier on there where he appeared to suggest

that people who voted for brexit and were in positions of power were akin to the nazis. you look at angela rayner as well, she said things like, you know, banana republic scum and all of that stuff. you look at ed miliband the most expensive policymaker in british history. he's now going to be in charge of great british energy. i just wonder if sir keir starmer might be let down a bit by his team. that cabinet. >> i think sir keir starmer's team will, needs to be judged now on what it does in government. >> but i don't think there's ever been a group of ministers that come into government that if you trawl back enough through everything they've ever said, you can't find something that some people might disagree with. let's judge them on what they actually do, i've got every i mean, there is no way in the world that they can possibly be a fraction as bad as the clowns that they're replacing . so why that they're replacing. so why don't we just give them a chance? yeah. >> all right, guys, look. thank

you. we obviously could have carried this on for a lot longer, but we are bang out of time. but much appreciated, both of you. thank you very much, sean simon there, of course. and alex armstrong as well. i've got loads more coming your way. there were some votes for gaza last night. it's fair to say. weren't there some new ministers for gaza in the house of commons? one of them is not george galloway, though. but i'm going to be talking to george galloway, former adviser and a man who stood for election himself as well. we're also going to be talking about the green party yes, because the greens got four seats, didn't they? which is quite a good return for them. but what do they really stand for? and will they really stand for? and will they have any impact at all? and i am going to be zoning in on that labour cabinet. how do you feel about the people who going to be sitting around

welcome back. this is patrick christys. tonight we're on gb news now. labour may be celebrating today, but does the election of five gaza focused independents show that the party may have a major problem in the future? labour majorities were slashed in areas with high muslim populations across the country. wes streeting, for example, scraping a win with just 528 votes as his majority. one of the biggest shocks of the night was jonathan ashworth, who was in the shadow cabinet, losing his seat to shokat adam in leicester south. let's have a little look at what mr adam has to say after his victory . to say after his victory. >> this is for the people of gaza.

>> interesting. it's not for the people of that particular area then, but there we go here with us to discuss the rise of the gaza independence. is james giles, the former chief of staff to george galloway, james, thank you very much. and also as well, i should just say it was quite a close run thing for you, wasn't it, last night? you were you. is that right? you weren't far off getting elected yourself. >> well, look, we were the result that no one was expecting except us, liam byrne, who previously amassed a grand total of 35,000 votes in his constituency of hodge hill in birmingham, that he's held now for 20 years, was reduced to a meagre rump of some 10,000 votes, we were 1500 votes shy in a seat that we ought to really never have been able to win by any conventional logic. and had it not been for the green party standing a candidate and splitting that pro—palestinian vote, well , liam byrne would be vote, well, liam byrne would be out of office today. >> okay . fair enough. and you

>> okay. fair enough. and you know, well done. and it always just take, you know, a lot of a lot of bottle to stand as a candidate in any seat. and hats off to everyone who does that. the fact is though, you know you didn't win george galloway, of course , is out now after what is course, is out now after what is it now, a few months? i think , it now, a few months? i think, as rochdale's mp, i do wonder whether or not actually it turns out that there aren't that many people in this country who would vote for gaza over the place they live , they live, >> well, no, i'm afraid i don't agree with that, i think the results have shown , with five results have shown, with five independent selected, all explicitly pro—palestine pro gaza , that there's a big rump of gaza, that there's a big rump of people who do care , about the people who do care, about the issue of palestine and gaza. look, let's be quite clear. the last time an independent won a seat in a general election, was, george galloway, i believe, in 2005 with bethnal green and bow. it just doesn't happen. the green party, up until this election , had never managed to election, had never managed to win any more than brighton pavilion . the system is rigged

pavilion. the system is rigged against these small parties. look, i'm in favour of pr, but that's a separate conversation. so the fact that despite our electoral system, which favours tweedle dee or tweedle dum that so many have cut through. i'm sorry. i just don't accept that premise. >> oh, look. places like for example, birmingham ladywood, they made a huge amount of noise there that independent ahmed yacoub, who's i think it's fair to say a little bit of a flash, harry described as the lamborghini driving tiktoker and solicitor. he made a heck of a lot of noise, lost to labour's shabana mahmood, who was under huge pressure because she decided not to vote for a ceasefire initially. that is an area in that part of the world with a huge muslim population, a huge pro gaza thing. he did his entire campaign with the palestinian flag behind him on all of his literature, and he lost. i mean, if you can't win there, then what's the point? >> well, no. look, shabana was and is a political operator and the labour party funnelled in resource from london to help her retain her seat, as in rochdale,

it was one of labour's biggest areas. they had to defend. she's the well now the justice secretary. she was the shadow justice secretary. of course they couldn't afford to lose her. but in areas like hodge hill, we ran them incredibly close. they didn't see us coming. and in areas like blackburn, they had a win in blackburn. almost 50% of people there didn't vote for labour. adnan won and the workers party candidate, craig murray, still amassed 20% of the vote from third place in places like dewsbury and batley. independents have won leicester south, and so it goes on. and these are places where labour never saw the challenge coming. and so it shows that when there's a real grassroots operation and people understand how to operate within the electoral system, the electoral paradigm, we work in that they can cut through and make a difference. look politics, i don't think, is going back into

the box that it used to. people are awake. they know they can influence outcomes now. and i think we'll see much more of this. >> yeah. with respect you mentioned there about the labour party funnelling in resources from other parts of the country in order to try to drum up support for their candidate there. and yeah, they i accept that. they almost definitely all will have definitely done that. right. but you look at people like rushanara ali, elected as an mp for bethnal green and stepney. now i was in her seat, and i was looking at the pro—palestine demonstrations and actually a load of those people are bused in from elsewhere as well, aren't they? and i just wonder if that is a tactic that's used to try to mask how little support there really is out there. jess phillips winning yesterday in her speech there, she was heckled. she made the point. well, you don't particularly like a strong woman standing up in front of you, do you? she also said that some of her, campaigners had their tires slashed or let down, that there was abuse going on. i mean, are some of the pro—palestine lot actually just quite a nasty bunch, do you think,

>> don't don't seek to tarred the hard work of activists, as thugs simply on our side? we had a workers party candidate stand in sutton coldfield on a pro—palestine ticket , whose son pro—palestine ticket, whose son was hospitalised after he was beaten up by eight thugs, that stood firmly against palestine. so please don't seek to paint purely palestinian protesters and palestinian activists, in that way. any violence, of course, must be condemned in the strongest of terms. in the particular case, you give of bethnal green and stepney against rushanara ali, you will know, of course, that there was an element of vote splitting going on there, for a time there were a number of independents on the ballot paper , which caused the ballot paper, which caused widespread confusion. i think what the results have also shown for people on the left of laboun for people on the left of labour, not just on gaza and palestine, but those seeking an independent alternative, is we must unite, if we split the vote

under first past the post, that just results in a win for laboun >> okay, james, look, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. always much appreciated and well done. again for the result last night. and, yeah. do you hope to chat to you again very soon as james giles from the workers party of britain still to come tonight, our new prime minister has been appointing his cabinet this afternoon after his party's landslide election victory. so what do you make of them? i'm just going to be, quite a little bit of reviewing of that cabinet coming your way shortly. but next, as the green party celebrates its record four seat win, i'll be joined by the former deputy leader of greens. it's sharon alley hear what they are going to get

okay. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. a lot of chat today about the reform party winning four seats. five seats now at the general election. but the green party will also have four mps in their new parliament. a record number for

the party, which had previously only won in sussex. as well as holding on to that seat, they also won in waveney valley, nonh also won in waveney valley, north herefordshire and bristol central, where co—leader caledonia beat labour shadow culture secretary thangam debbonaire by a majority of 10,000. so, you know, fantastic stuff for them here. to join me now is the former deputy leader of the green party is sara ali. good evening. thank you very much for having us here. i'm just kidding. thanks for having me on a good night for you, i suppose, i think now that one of, the, the co—leader winning is interesting, clearly, they weren't put off by the fact that she still has a gas boiler. >> hahahahahahahaha. both co—leaders won the seats. >> yes, yes, but was that not a slight issue, do you think? was that not a bit of a heart in mouth moment there when it came out? she said she's still, i think, getting rid of a gas boiler. >> i think it shows that our politicians struggle also to meet the ambition of our own policies from time to time. >> okay. i just wonder as well, is there much excuse for that these days? do you think, do you think when it comes to, you know, telling everyone that

they've got to be greener and more eco minded now, there's going to be more of a scrutiny on the personal lives of these people. >> no, absolutely. i mean, i think there are two schools of thought, and i, i would advocate that we're all imperfect human beings, and it helps to show that side of us that, you know, we're hypocrites, we're knowing hypocrites. so the fact that we know that we're not meeting our own ambitions to some extent, that's often a systemic change. that's required in wider society to make it easier for all of us to make it easier for all of us to do the right thing. >> i know just because of the name, really. greens everyone thinks it's all about the environment. it's not. we'll come to on that. but when it does come to the environment, what are the greens policies? what are these mps now going to be standing up in parliament? because, you know, we're going to have from labour great british energy, there's a big push for net zero. so, so what more do the greens want. >> well we have a very joined up approach. so the energy crisis is very much linked in to the economic crisis. so if we deal with better quality jobs we produce green economic jobs with

a mission, renewables, we have the most untapped resource in the most untapped resource in the eu with respect to wind and solar energy, putting infrastructure in there, creating green jobs that everybody can actually, be part of is one of the solutions that we'll be we'll be helping labour to make sure that we meet those ambitions of, of net zero by 2050. >> that's kind of what i was getting at, actually. so from what you've seen of the labour party so far, do you think that they've got a massive majority? but do you think they're also going to be getting the support from the greens as well when it comes to things like great british energy or when it comes to no new oil and gas licences and all of that stuff, because there are some concerns there that that's actually going to cost a load of jobs and there's no real guarantee as to what these mystical green jobs are going to be off the back of it. >> i think greens have been in power for a while now in local authorities, and we work together with other politicians . together with other politicians. and so it's going to be a collaborative, constructive approach where we're actually

helping them to meet their own, stated ambitions and to get them higher up the agenda. okay. all right. >> some of the things that are in the green party manifesto . so in the green party manifesto. so an end to the hostile environment, this is on immigration, an end to the minimum income requirements for spouses, for those holding work visas as well. is it open borders. this we're talking about or we're just talking about or we're just talking about them pushing for some kind of migrant and potentially illegal migrant free for all. >> i mean, you know, great britain has a veritable tradition in welcoming people who are fleeing persecution . and who are fleeing persecution. and it's very difficult to actually extricate those people who are coming on an emergency basis from those so—called immigrants who we think are coming for economic reasons. but we want to make sure that we prioritise those individuals who are coming here with good reason, and to make sure that they go through the system, you know, the immigration system in a fair and humane manner. >> but what does that look like really ? because from what i can really? because from what i can tell from the manifesto, it doesn't really look like you want to deport anyone ever.

>> i think there will be a higher threshold on when and if somebody is deported, for sure, i do think that the problem with the hostile environment is it's we need to reframe the way in which we treat people. we need to treat people humanely. but look, let's think ahead, we're deaung look, let's think ahead, we're dealing with a climate, environmental calamity. there will be more fuel and oil walls , will be more fuel and oil walls, food walls. there will be mass migration on a scale that is potentially unheard of. we potentially, as brits are going to be the new migrants. you know, we're an island nation, but we don't want to actually just, you know, bring up the drawbridge in that way. we need to make sure that we're dealing in an internationalist environment where we welcome people. i mean, i was on the hustings just a few days ago and a fairly xenophobic comment was made around, health tourism. shall we say. but if we were to remove migrant labour from our nhs service, that already crippling service would completely collapse . so we are a

completely collapse. so we are a very internationalist. >> interesting one. that isn't it , because there's very much it, because there's very much two sides to that coin, aren't there? there's the idea that it is quite unfair to pinch the best and the brightest medical professionals from other nations, and then use them in our nhs, but at the same time, wanting to have the best and the brightest from around the world. and that that is a tricky one because it says here again in the manifesto, police services need to acknowledge the institutional racism, misogyny , institutional racism, misogyny, homophobia and disablism that have dominated policing for so long. is that actually true? >> well, i'm a great advocate for the police and they don't get enough praise for putting themselves in harm's way day in, day out. but what that represents, really is to say that we have a lot of social sickness and animosity in society, and part of that is institutionalised. and, you know, we have it across the pubuc know, we have it across the public services. and we want to say in order for the police to engagein say in order for the police to engage in that contract with the

public, for the public, that the serving the public, we need to make sure that they also overcome the institutional misogyny and racism which has been identified even by them. >> right. >> right. >> how does that marry up, though? because also, you want to end the use of routine stop and search. but then when you look at and this is i say this with a very heavy heart, but when you look at the figures around certainly london, for example, of the demographics of people who are both being killed by knife crime and who are perpetrating knife crime, knife crime, you know, that that could be a big problem. if you're going to end stop and search. you're going to say that you think that's all institutionally racist. >> the plan isn't to end these mechanisms by which police can act is to make sure they're not disproportionately used against minority communities, far beyond the proportion in which they are identified as suspects . that's identified as suspects. that's the that's the difficulty here. >> all right, sara, thank you very , very much. great to have very, very much. great to have you on the show to talk to you again soon. sara ali there. right. next. yes. our new prime minister has been appointing his

new cabinet this afternoon. what do you make of them? from what we've seen so far, i'm going to be doing a little review now of the new faces of some of them. we already know, of course, around our cabinet table and whether or not you think they are really up to the job. stay tuned. >> for that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. very good evening to you. here's your latest gb news weather forecast coming to you from the met office. this weekend's looking relatively cool and showery for many of us, but before then we do have some heavy, persistent rain around today. we've had a waving front across southern parts, bringing some wet weather here and then a pulse of heavy, persistent rain is pushing its way north eastwards across england. as we go through this evening and overnight. clearing through though, as we go through the early hours of tomorrow morning. that being said, there will be some heavy, persistent rain

lingering across northern parts of scotland which could cause some localised issues elsewhere, some localised issues elsewhere, some showery rain but also some clear skies under which, away from the towns and cities, we're likely to dip into single figures. so a bit of a fresh start for the time of year if we look in more detail and as i mentioned, there will be some heavy, persistent rain across some northern parts of scotland could see some high totals building up chance of a bit of flooding and some difficult driving conditions here. heading further south though, and there will be some showers , perhaps will be some showers, perhaps across parts of northern ireland and into northern england to watch out for some heavy, showery rain affecting more central parts of england and into wales. two and then across more southern parts of england. we're likely to have just a mixture of sunny spells and a few scattered showers around as we go through the day. some of the heavier, more frequent, showery rain should clear away of sorts , but there will be of sorts, but there will be plenty of showers around as we go through the afternoon, particularly towards the north and west. further south and east, perhaps a greater chance of seeing something a little bit dnen of seeing something a little bit drier, but even here 1 or 2 showers are possible. there will

be some blustery winds around, and with temperatures below average for the time of year, it is going to feel relatively cool for most of us overnight. the showers should largely die out , showers should largely die out, so sunday is actually likely to start mostly dry for many places. but quite quickly we're going to see a rash of showers developing, many of us likely to catch some showers , and they catch some showers, and they could be heavy, possibly even thundery at times too. and temperatures still on the low side for the time of year. monday at the moment looks largely dry before more wet weather arrives later on. bye bye . bye. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

>> it's 10 pm. i'm patrick christys tonight , so my christys tonight, so my government will fight every day until you believe again . until you believe again. everything is now. keir starmer's problem. it's lucky , starmer's problem. it's lucky, isn't it? he's got this crack

team with him. is that why on tv? >> and i say to this day, it me resigning as an mp now would bnng resigning as an mp now would bring the ceasefire. no, i would do it. >> oh and cannot get any worse than a bunch of scum , than a bunch of scum, homophobic, racist, misogynistic . homophobic, racist, misogynistic. that's just our deputy prime minister. there good job. our foreign secretary is much better. >> who acceded to the english throne at the age of nine on the death of his father, henry the eighth, in 1547. >> henry the seventh, edward the sixth. >> oh, and, implication you're comparing the erg to the nazi party, or at least to the south african racists. >> now, whatever you think about the erg, that was an unacceptable comparison, wasn't it, andrew? >> i would say that that wasn't strong enough. >> right . well, where do the >> right. well, where do the tories go from here? >> i'm sorry that my party didn't listen to you.

>> could suella be the next leader? >> and are you downwind of a couple already? you've had a bigger lunch than i've had. >> it's nice to see that the left are taking farage's election really well. plus, i understand that a strong woman standing up to you is met with such reticence . good on jess such reticence. good on jess phillips, actually, for standing up to the woman hating pro—palestine bullies and by the way, i'm proud to be, as i said, the first vice president, first black woman served with a black president, joe biden. now thinks he's a black woman. so that's great, isn't it? on my panel tonight is ex bbc and itv political editor john sergeant, former tory cabinet minister robert halfon and apprentice star joanna joana jarjue. oh yes. and can you tell me what prince william is really doing here? get ready britain, here we

go . go. do we have the most gormless and incompetent cabinet in history? next . next. >> very good evening to you. it's just after 10:00. and the top story tonight. the us president is among world leaders congratulating sir keir starmer on his landslide election win in a call with the new prime minister. joe biden said earlier that he looks forward to their shared work supporting freedom and democracy. and earlier, the king met with sir keir starmer, the third leader in number 10 of the third leader in number 10 of the monarch's reign so far. >> well, your majesty, your majesty , during that historic majesty, during that historic meeting at buckingham palace , meeting at buckingham palace, king charles told the labour leader he must be utterly

exhausted as he acknowledged the challenge of getting to grips with the new role of prime minister and just hours after entering number 10, sir keir starmer has wasted no time appointing his new cabinet. >> rachel reeves has been confirmed as the first ever female chancellor and angela raynen female chancellor and angela rayner, deputy prime minister. yvette cooper is home secretary and david lammy has been made foreign secretary. the first surprise appointment, though, was the promotion of lisa nandy to culture secretary after thangam debbonaire, who held the post in the shadow cabinet, lost her seat to the greens and before making those new appointments, sir keir starmer gave his first speech outside downing street, promising to rebuild trust in politics. >> this wound, this lack of trust can only be healed by actions , not words. i know that, actions, not words. i know that, but we can make a start today with the simple acknowledgement that public service is a

privilege and that your government should treat every single person in this country with respect. >> so let's get a recap of the numbers. here's how the seats have shaped up in parliament since last night's vote. labour won a total of 412 seats, although with a smaller share than jeremy corbyn achieved in his 2017 defeat. the conservatives slumped to their worst ever result, with losses for former prime minister liz truss and a record 11 members of the former cabinet in wales, the tories were wiped out altogether , tories were wiped out altogether, while labour also served a defeat on the snp in scotland. and it now means the liberal democrats are the third biggest party at westminster. the greens plaid cymru they both made small gains and reform uk secured five seats well in other news today, away from the election, former nurse lucy letby has protested her innocence after she was sentenced to another whole life jail term for trying to kill a

baby girl. earlier this week, she was convicted of the attempted murder of a premature baby at the countess of chester hosphal baby at the countess of chester hospital. in 2016, the 34 year old had already been found guilty of killing seven babies and trying to kill six others at that neonatal unit between 2015 and 2016. and finally , in sport and 2016. and finally, in sport england manager gareth southgate says it's a common sense decision to allow jude bellingham to play in tomorrow's euro 2024 quarter final. the midfielder is available for tomorrow's game against switzerland, following the result of a uefa investigation into his conduct. he has been given a suspended one game ban for a gesture he made during the squad's win over slovakia in their last 16 match. those are their last 16 match. those are the latest gb news headlines for now. i'm sam francis back with you for another update at 11:00 for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning

the qr code, or go to gb news. >> .com. forward slash alerts . >> .com. forward slash alerts. >> .com. forward slash alerts. >> sir keir starmer has won a loveless landslide. labour's vote share in england basically stayed the same since the last election. he won fewer votes than corbyn won in 2017. they won two thirds of seats with only one third of the vote. starmer's majority in his own seat was down significantly from 22,766 in 20 19 to 11,572. well look, good luck, sir keir, and with this lot around him, he's going to need it. our new home secretary, yes, has posed with a sign saying refugees welcome, just as we're about to experience a huge wave of illegal immigration from across the channel, our foreign secretary is a genius who acceded to the english throne at the age of nine on the death of his father, henry the eighth, in 1547. >> henry the seventh, edward the

sixth, who has also gone around basically calling people nazis . basically calling people nazis. >> application. you're comparing the erg to the nazi party, or at least to the south african racists. now, whatever you think about the erg, that was an unacceptable comparison, wasn't it, andrew? >> i would say that that wasn't strong enough. >> it's also alienated the likely next president of america after he called trump, reportedly a woman hating , neo reportedly a woman hating, neo nazi sympathising sociopath. i'll do it. and we now have a completely different foreign policy when it comes to the middle east. essentially, some would argue, making an enemy of israel our new deputy prime minister is angela rayner, and she's got away with words cannot get any worse than a bunch of scum, homophobic, racist, misogynistic. >> banana republic daniel kawczynski etonian coco gauff

peter bleksley piece of scum . peter bleksley piece of scum. >> especially when she's grovelling to a room full of muslim men about gaza that live on tv and i say to this day, if me resigning as an mp now would bnng me resigning as an mp now would bring the ceasefire , i would do bring the ceasefire, i would do it. our new chancellor is rachel reeves, who doesn't know what a woman is . woman is. >> look, i is it is it transphobic? look, i just i don't even know how to start answering these questions. >> not like that, though . >> not like that, though. anyway, our new health secretary is wes streeting , who now has a is wes streeting, who now has a majority of just 528 votes after a pro—palestine candidate stood against him. our energy secretary is ed miliband. yes, he was the cabinet minister in gordon brown's government who pioneered the 2008 legislation committing britain to an 80% cut in co2 emissions. now, subsequent international estimates put our over a £1

trillion cost, making ed miliband the most expensive policymaker in british history. he is now in charge of great british energy, which , according british energy, which, according to a leaked audio clip from shadow chief secretary to the treasury darren jones, will cost hundreds of billions of pounds. >> we're still absolutely committed to it. it's still one of the top five priorities, and it's going to be a huge amount of effort to get there. we'll have to move quite quickly, but a lot of the coverage of the news was about that specific 28, which, because journalists like alex made it sound as if we basically junked the whole thing, but we don't have because some people say that like 28 million isn't enough. no. it's tiny. i've got people who work hundreds of billions of pounds. we need more great starmer will realise very quickly that everything in britain is now his problem, including his own cabinet. >> let's get the thoughts of my panel now. we are joined by former bbc and itv chief political correspondent. it's john sergeant. we do also have

apprentice starjoana john sergeant. we do also have apprentice star joana jarjue john sergeant. we do also have apprentice starjoana jarjue and former conservative cabinet minister robert halfon. robert, how bad is our current cabinet then and can it be any worse than your lot? >> well, to be fair, i think some of them are okay. pat mcfadden is quite impressive. i'm honest with you. i don't agree with them, and steve read lucy powell, those kind of people. but, you know, angela rayner that you highlighted david lammy. i'm very worried about what he's going to do on israel. and he's already indicated you know, i do think that the previous prime minister, rishi sunak, was really clear about britain's support for the state of israel, given what happened on last october. so i really worry, from some of the clips you showed both from angela rayner and so we'll wait and see. the honeymoon will be short lived , honeymoon will be short lived, we'll wait and see to see what what happens. >> okay. >> okay. >> it's also worth noting as well , in case >> it's also worth noting as well, in case you might have missed this, sir keir starmer has apparently already scrapped the rwanda plan. so that's one of the first things that he's

done on day one. when you look at the kind of calibre of personnel there, joanna and i know that people will say, and they have every right to say that the calibre of the personnel that the tories had was was pretty shocking as well. but when you actually look at that now, you know, deputy prime minister angela rayner going around calling people scum and all that stuff is this is this decline for britain. >> i don't think it's declined at all. when you look at people like suella braverman, who said equally outrageous stuff that really offended people as well. i think that, you know, some politicians are a bit more fruity with their language and some do take it too far. but i think the overall with this, cabinet, it's more representative of real people . representative of real people. and i think that that's what i really appreciate. i don't think that the great british public love to see people that just get parachuted into certain seats, parachuted into certain seats, parachuted into certain seats, parachuted into politics because they've got certain agenda, or they're just a career politician and obviously, keir starmer has been talking so much about being a government of service. and i actually think that this cabinet quite reflects that. when you

look at some of the backgrounds of, people like angela rayner, who has been a care worker and a trade union leader, when you look at, other people as well that have been aid workers or have led women's refuges, for example , those are the type of example, those are the type of people who have lived in the real world with some of the most vulnerable and can probably help them going forward. >> i mean, the thing is, though, people are saying, well , keir people are saying, well, keir starmer says he's going to stop the boats, he might do that. you wonder whether he's just going to make him come in via eurostar instead. i mean, we've got our home secretary now, he says. refugees welcome. i mean, that's the opposite of what we want at the opposite of what we want at the moment, given the illegal channel migrant crossing, isn't it, john? yeah i'm not sure it'll quite work like that. >> i think they'd expect to spend some time on all these issues. and bear in mind that keir starmer now is extremely powerful, probably more powerful now than he may be for the rest of his time in in number 10. the other thing is they're very, very grateful to him. he has authority now because of what he's done. he's led them to this victory. they're in place because of him. we're talking

about channel. we're talking about channel. we're talking about the cabinet secretary now. we're talking about the cabinet. so if you think of it from their point of view, the idea they'll immediately start fighting with each other like the conservatives did, or they'll form factions. not at this stage. if it's more about credibility that i wonder if it's more about, well, no, because if you've already got someone like david lammy there, for example, who said, you know, the members of the erg , the the members of the erg, the right wing of the tory party, are , i'm paraphrasing a bit, but are, i'm paraphrasing a bit, but i mean, we heard the clip of him before that he said, andrew marr's system, you you could basically call them nazis. >> he said, well, i wouldn't go. that wouldn't go far enough. i mean, we've got a foreign secretary for goodness, but don't bear in mind , though, that don't bear in mind, though, that his position is extremely they didn't they weren't sure he was going to be foreign secretary. >> so he must know. wait a minute. he it looked as if he might become foreign secretary. it's a question mark. when people were going through the cabinet, they weren't sure that lammy would get the job. so he must be very well aware of the fact that if he starts making

stupid remarks, he'll be out. >> he said it now though. >> he said it now though. >> no, all right. but he said it when he was in opposition. i'm not saying therefore he's a brilliant mind or anything, but he's certainly not stupid and he will learn a great deal on the job and the foreign office are very expert at working out where you are, what you're doing, what you're meant to be saying. he will, in fact be extremely keen to keep his position in cabinet. i mean, it was what you're leaving out. >> well, well, let's well that's fine, but but let's let's focus robert on that because we're going to have a radically different policy now when it comes to israel, which by definition will reshape our standing. i'm much more worried. >> i mean, what he said about the erg, i mean, that was the trivialisation of the holocaust was unacceptable. he should never have said it. but i'm much more worried about what he's going to do in office than what he said in the past as opposition. >> why go on then? why because john's point is, has got married to it, which is that he's in the office now. you've got the civil service there, you've got an anti degree of responsibility. >> fine. but i'm much more worried that the whole labour party policy will be shift to be much more critical and anti—israel. and he said he wants a ceasefire straight away.

well what does that mean in practice. that will just give hamas everything that they want. >> no, don't worry, don't worry. >> no, don't worry, don't worry. >> the foreign office, the foreign office will get him. i tell you, once they know, just bearin tell you, once they know, just bear in mind they're very used to someone coming into that office and they've then got to there's an enormous amount of is it not? he's in the foreign office. and they will make sure as far as america is concerned, you don't move that far away from the american position. well, he's and they'll they'll make sure he does a sociopath neo—nazi mark steyn. and he's regretted that. >> and what happened sadly. >> and what happened sadly. >> i mean, you can't say i'm sorry. >> i regret saying look at the things that boris johnson said before about trump and all. >> people often say crazy things. that's that's not the important thing is, look, we'll let me try and do his stuff. will he mind his p's and q's? yes. will he be delighted to be in cabinet? yes. will they all, in cabinet? yes. will they all, in fact turn on him if he makes a stupid remark? yes. what are they trying to do at this stage? they're all trying to go through the minefield and make sure they don't make an obvious mistake. that's what happens.

>> is it a problem , joanna, that >> is it a problem, joanna, that we have a prime minister and a chancellor who have both really struggled to say what a woman is , struggled to say what a woman is, >> i actually think that it's been good for them to kind of wait to get some backup information. you know, we've had things like the cass report , for things like the cass report, for example, because they'd said a lot of things before, and they'd kind of, do you need backup information to know what woman is not necessarily . i'm not is not necessarily. i'm not saying that because the problem is they were a government in waiting, and they had to make sure that by the time they'd got into government that whatever legislation that they put through would actually be backed up. this is real people's lives. you know, keir starmer was having a go at rishi sunak before in the house of commons about the way that he behaved while brianna ghey his mum was in the gallery. he has to tread really, really carefully and what i'm saying is that before they were quite radical and very kind of pro—trans and protecting that community, and they said a lot. and obviously keir starmer even condemned another labour party mp about some of the things that she'd said . so now things that she'd said. so now he's had to roll back on a lot

of things because of the qatar, which is why i think they should be careful before making. >> i think of the points that we've heard so far tonight. >> i think this is kind of it. right, which is that for me, it feels as though that this labour cabinet have already told us what they really think about everything, and now they're having to row back on it and thatis having to row back on it and that is the concern. >> well, it is, patrick, you're assuming that people in fact say something either when they were younger or a few years ago and they then are consistent and constantly making the same mistake. people don't. these people are the forces are working on them are going to be something they've never encountered in their lives before. >> they have that luxury before because they've been in opposition for 14 years. so when you're in that position, obviously you're just going to say your opinion. but what i'm saying is that now they're governing all of us. >> i have to be i don't, i don't i don't think the however much i may not like this, i don't think the public are they look what they've said in the past, what angela rayner said and what david lammy said. >> but i do think they're going to look at what they're doing, what they're going to do and for them to deliver. and if he's cancelled the rwanda thing and then we get an influx, this is it.

>> so let's just hone in on that. let's just hone in on that, because as of right now, as far as as far as i'm aware, as far as as far as i'm aware, as of right now, we no longer have a rwanda plan. okay, fine. now there was there was a mixed views on whether we thought rwanda would be effective at all. but what we also have right now is a load of people on the beaches of calais and that surrounding area, now with absolutely no chance whatsoever of being sent to rwanda, we also have now 90,000 people on an asylum on a waiting list that were not previously on a waiting list. they were never going to be able to claim asylum in this country. so those two things have now happened , and as of have now happened, and as of right now, i can't help but wonder whether or not in the coming days or weeks, if we get good weather, we are expecting, as the french leave the beaches to go and police the paris olympics, we get record day, record day, record day and we will have gone backwards in terms of deterrence. in fact, we'll have gone the other way. we'll have actually really increased the likelihood of people wanting to come. it's keir starmer ready for the backlash on that. >> robert hur.

>> robert hur. >> well, i mean, because the only policy, he said is we're going to have a strengthened border force which, which, which will take time. yeah. and also the conservatives said that we'd already done that. so if what i'm concerned about is if that they now they have no deterrent policy in terms of the boats and, illegal migrants. what's going to happen is if we do get more coming through that will feed into nigel farage what we were discussing. >> this assumes that the rwanda policy was a deterrent policy, as far as i can tell, had no deterrent effect at all. >> well, because it had never been implemented. >> well , been implemented. >> well, right. >> well, right. >> but why couldn't they have implemented it if it had , implemented it if it had, instead of holding a job because of all the human rights laws and all this? if it wasn't going to work, it wasn't. >> i wonder, by the way, now, if we're going to get any money back from rwanda, i mean, this is probably a story for tomorrow in the coming weeks, but it'd be nice, wouldn't it? i mean, i don't know, by the way. i don't blame the rwanda. i mean, we were we were completely stupid, but i mean, do we see any of that money back now? do we? it's not happening. i think the leader of rwanda had said at one point that if it was deemed that

it was illegal based on international law, then he'd be willing to give the money back. >> but that's obviously different from we decide now. so yeah, it's kind of it's kind of contract out of our own money we have now. >> i mean, the only, the only sort of slight note of optimism is the french. clearly because of the result of their elections, they got another phase of the election. the second round will be on sunday. but there's no doubt that immigration is now right at the top of the french agenda. and the idea that they will now be able to continue in exactly the same way. but that doesn't mean they're going to stop them coming from france to here. >> yeah. no, no, precisely the opposite. they stop them coming into france. >> they can't come on here. the point is, the whole issue of immigration now is very alive in france. it was not before the assumption they were gone. it's always this problem of people thinking that everything will go on exactly the same way. things are changing now on the continent very rapidly and they're certainly changing. >> i just want to quickly get in another , another issue, which is another, another issue, which is our health secretary. so he's now saying on a majority of 528 seats is significantly weakened. there he's saying he's going to

go and start talks with junior doctors and the bma next week. we've just had a round of strikes, okay. he's saying at the same time, well , we're not the same time, well, we're not going to give in to your 35% pay rise. i mean, does this guy have any credibility now at all? he knows and they've said and they've said they've said, oh, well, you know, we're going to sort this out. the plan to sort that out is just to have a conversation with them. if those conversations fail, we literally could be staring down the barrel in a few weeks time of more scheduled doctor strikes, record days in the channel. you are massive. a massive, a massive, a massive. a massive, a massive, a massive recalibration, a massive recalibration of our entire relationship with the middle east and israel. this is going to get heavy quick for keir starmer. well let's just see, shall we? >> let's just see what happens when in fact you do start negotiations. the doctors now accept they will not get 35% straight away. it'll have to be phased. it does depend on the whole public sector pay round. it does depend on what rachel reeves does. it does depend on whether she's going to have an economic stake. >> but lately i kind of agree with you on on the nhs element.

i out of all of them that have been elected, the one that is starting to give me a bit of a weird feeling is actually wes streeting. i think that the rest of them have been quite humble. keir starmer he's even if he's not humble behind closed doors, he's been very careful to be humble. wes streeting has given me, even before they won the election , a bit of cockiness. he election, a bit of cockiness. he just thinks he's going to stroll into this . and out of all of the into this. and out of all of the cabinet members, actually, he's the one with the least experience. so i think that he's just a little bit. exactly. >> so, we'll we'll see when we'll all see as the weeks go by, negotiated with the nurses and managed to sort out pay increases without them being inflationary . inflationary. >> okay. sorry to cut you off, guys, but we're going to have to rattle on here. coming up, myself and my brilliant panel will review tomorrow morning's front pages. plus we'll have a look at some viral videos as well for you . and as you can well for you. and as you can see, here we are this country's future monarch has been keeping an eye on the general election results. i'm going to tell you exactly what on earth he was doing there. but next, rishi

sunakis doing there. but next, rishi sunak is on his way out. but who is on the way in? let's have a chat about who on earth is going to be the conservative leader. i'll see a sec.

welcome back to patrick christys tonight on gb news now. former prime minister rishi sunak officially resigned today as the leader of the conservative party, which means that the next tory leadership race will presumably soon be upon us. but

who will replace rishi? who is likely to throw their hat into the ring? what do they believe in? and, crucially , do they have in? and, crucially, do they have the backing of party members ? so the backing of party members? so suella braverman won, didn't she ? suella braverman won, didn't she? she stood up. she apologised. really? and what i think was possibly a thinly veiled leadership pitch saying, look, we didn't listen to you. and i think that was a bit of a dig because when she was imposed, she was trying to say things that i think resonated with a lot of conservative party members, especially priti patel. she's very much in the mix, i think, isn't she? she was out campaigning as well for a lot of conservatives, so we'll have to see what happens there. robert jenrick i think many people regard as being in the mix. i mean, jeremy hunt has kept his seat, but good grief, are we really going to end up with with hunt leading the conservative party? i'm just not sure who actually takes up the reins from here. robert, your view on all this? you know, former conservative minister who's left, do you think or should the conservatives go for someone we've basically never heard of? kemi by the way. i miss kemi out

didn't i. >> so yeah i think kemi is you know, really important in all this as well. and along with pretty james cleverly of course might be in the mix, actually those three are neighbours, constituency neighbours of mine . constituency neighbours of mine. but i go back to what i said earlier in this conversation is i think that we need to take stock first. i think it would be wrong just to have a quick contest, have a new leader in july before the party works out what went wrong, what we need to do, what our values are and then we should have a leadership contest , sort of later in the contest, sort of later in the yeah contest, sort of later in the yeanl contest, sort of later in the year, i think the party we've had the worst defeat. the worst defeat. i think, in our almost in our history. and to just suddenly have a new leader as if nothing has happened , i think nothing has happened, i think will be wrong. all the eyes are going to be focused on labour now and not going to be focused on the tories. no one's going to care about for us a while and so let's use this time to regroup, have a caretaker leader and have a proper leader. >> i think there is some sort year or so, some talk of whether or not the party members will get a say in this. right. and i

think that would be a massive, massive mistake to not have party members have a say in it, because that's one of the things that did for rishi sunak. >> absolutely. i absolutely believe that we've got to democratise the conservative party. i'd like our we need massive, massive reform, massive year zero at cchq. in my view, we need to start again. we need to offer proper membership services to the party. part of thatis services to the party. part of that is democratisation . and but that is democratisation. and but we've got to offer the membership a clear choice. >> that's a good point, though, because whoever is behind the scenes of the conservative party are idiots. >> i mean, if rishi sunak was their man, they got that badly wrong. the whole campaign was a disaster pretty much from start to finish. so if they were advising him on that, then that was a total mistake. and i think it's fair to say that it's been quite shambolic for some time now behind the scenes. so, so yeah, that that would have to be root and branch reform. john, who stands out to you as the next tory leader? >> well i mean no, there are quite a few on this list. but i must say, i think that this question of who decides is very, very important. william hague wrote what i thought a marvellous piece describing the difficulties of involving the

membership as much as they are involved, because they go right wing, you know, the members voted for david cameron. >> so this is a complete and utter myth. what happened last time was the members were presented with a choice. they were upset because boris had gone, and then they were presented with either rishi or with liz truss. i think you need to give members a wider choice of people to choose from, but to say to take it away from the members, what's the point of being a tory party? >> what about a ticket on principle, telling boris johnson i just, i principle, telling boris johnson ijust, i haven't principle, telling boris johnson i just, i haven't even given half the argument. >> the argument is of course, the member should have. some say. it's a question of how much, say. it's a question of how much, say and to what extent. the mps who know these characters well will be able to be the determining factor. you know, there are lots of different ways you can organise it, but it would be much better if you could get something presented to the tory party conference in the autumn , the first conference autumn, the first conference since their defeat, and then see how far. >> so you think it will be until autumn? so? so conceivably. yeah, i suppose it would be, wouldn't it. yeah, sort of around that. >> your chance. your first

chance of being able to say look we've done we can't have all these prime ministers it's what we. yeah we shouldn't that should be got in to the conference. >> should be an audition. it shouldn't be the place where it's all decided. exactly. and then you decide later on. later on. >> well, you could have you could have you decide what what mechanism is, what you might do. then say, let us have a review on the how, the how the i can see how the leader is chosen, but at least you've got a chance then of having a proper debate and the people behind the scenes will be shouting cameron and shouting all these other. >> well, yes, but that's but that's but that's kind of why i want to do now because who, who is, who is left? who do you think is most likely to get it? china. >> there's no one left that's decent. i actually think that the one person that could have been decent is penny mordaunt. and obviously she's gone. so where do you go from there? you know, do they go for the realistic candidates. >> you've got cleverly you've got cleverly. >> he's he's good i pretty of all of them. >> if i was to pick i'd probably pick james cleverly out of all of them because i think that

kemi also can be a bit too marmite. you know, if i was on the other side of things, i know that she's very outspoken for certain things when it comes to the right wing and she's obviously very spoken about things to do with women's issues, which if people don't feel like labour are giving them that solid answer, then she is i do actually think that she's been quite a good business secretary in the past, so she's definitely capable, but i'm not sure whether i can see. >> i can see to be more intelligent than the others, which helps. i can see, i can see a ticket of priti patel and bofis see a ticket of priti patel and boris johnson hurtling towards us at some point. >> i'm wondering whether what you say that, but in terms of actually getting votes, it might not be the worst thing. and in terms of fending off reform, it might not be the worst thing. but look, coming up some viral clips, what on earth is this now from joe biden, by the way, i'm proud to be, as i said, the first vice president, first black woman served with a black president. yeah, i think he thinks he's a black woman now. and that's obviously we're just gonna have to deal with that. but next, i've

got all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages tomorrow's newspaper front pages to bring you hot off

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight i have got here in my hand the very first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. let's do it . we're pages. let's do it. we're starting with the daily mail . starting with the daily mail. now he has to deliver, on the steps of number 10. starmer vows to rebuild britain with the nhs back on its feet. wealth created in every community, secure borders and safer seats. but after winning a loveless landslide on just 34% of the vote, they say he's got to produce the goods. we go to the eye, starmer tells uk politics. can be a force for good. prime minister promises to rebuild britain , restore trust in public britain, restore trust in public life. his plan for great british railways will be in the king's speech on the 17th of july. set your alarm clocks now, people . your alarm clocks now, people. the lib dems have surged as well. they also know let's go to the daily express. let us be gracious in defeat. the express

pays tribute to keir starmer's historic victory. our new pm is undoubtedly decent and sincere . undoubtedly decent and sincere. he will hold. we will hold his power to account. but let us be gracious in defeat . interesting gracious in defeat. interesting headune gracious in defeat. interesting headline that from the express who decided to immediately simp to the new man in charge . and i to the new man in charge. and i think one of the things that is just unbelievably wrong with british politics and british media at the moment, so many journalists throughout this campaign were sucking up to keir starmer instead of holding things to account. and, you know, we are where we are. the daily telegraph streeting nhs is broken. good. now you've got to fix it mate, haven't you. but health secretary ready for new talks with junior doctors as starmer declares rwanda flights are dead . the nhs is broken, are dead. the nhs is broken, says , says wes streeting. so says, says wes streeting. so there we go. and he's. says, says wes streeting. so there we go. and he's . yes, there we go. and he's. yes, going to be, going to be on the, a meeting with the doctors strikes. i'm just reading a bit more into this story. he says the prime minister, which is now, of course, keir starmer, is expected to hold its first full

cabinet meeting, complete with junior ministers and take calls from world leaders. is expected to move his family into downing street at some point. his first speech in parliament as prime minister will take place on tuesday, before he flies to a nato summit in washington, and the french president is believed to have been the first world leader to call sir keir starmer, so there we go. macron was the first to talk to him, apparently, all right. well, i'm joined again by my press pass. we've got former bbc chief political correspondent john sergeant, apprentice starjoana jaflue sergeant, apprentice starjoana jarjue former tory minister robert halfon . we have spoken robert halfon. we have spoken a bit here, about, about wes streeting, but i am just going to revisit it a little bit, i think, because, you know, he's saying he's going to meet the junior doctors. what on earth is going to happen there, do you think? and if we start getting labourin think? and if we start getting labour in the pockets of the unions, robert, this could be a problem for everyone , couldn't it? >> well, they've said they could sort all through the campaign. they said they were going to sort it out. so it'll be interesting to see one how they sort it out and whether or not

they give, they give in to inflationary pay rises. that will have a huge impact on the on the economy and on public finances, >> what do you how do you see this playing out, joanna. because that is going to be the thing. if he's saying he's going to meet with them, we're going to meet with them, we're going to basically find out in a week's time whether or not wes streeting council. and he says the nhs is broken. we've had mixed messages throughout this campaign about whether or not labour were going to use private capacity or whether that was essentially a sin to use private capacity. so we are going to find a lot of stuff out, very shortly, aren't we? but yeah, wes streeting the government will be honest about the challenges facing our country from today. the policy of this department is that the nhs is broken. it's weird, isn't it? >> well, this is the thing in the run up to the election, obviously they weren't giving that much detail and that was one of the biggest criticisms, we know that obviously, rachel reeves talks a lot about, you know , fiscal responsibility and know, fiscal responsibility and not promising too much and making sure that we keep our eye on the purse strings, basically , on the purse strings, basically, so i can't imagine that whatever offer he's going to walk in, you

know, on the first day to the junior doctors is going to be that close to what they actually want. so then i kind of think to myself, well, what do you is it just because you come from more of a trade union background and because you labour, you think you can kind of smooth it over? i just don't know what he thinks. >> i think i actually might yeah, i'm john i'm going to get you on something else if that's all right. my good man, because this is something that did slip under the radar throughout this election campaign. but great british railways, sir keir starmer is preparing to nationalise the rail network. and presumably he'll try and do that very quickly. is that a good thing? >> no, it's at the end of i mean, what they're trying to do is that they may roll over. they once people have got the contracts for a parts of the railway, the idea is they will wait to see at the at the end if the person if there's no proper group comes forward to take oven group comes forward to take over, the state may take over, but they won't have to spend money on it. that is, run it from there on in. yeah, they'll have to run it from then on. >> so we are paying whether or not they will do it and how much they will do it. >> obviously it depends on what happensin >> obviously it depends on what happens in the meantime.

>> i thought they'd said if the when the contracts run out, then they'll nationalise. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> but they're not going to invite other private companies to come. well, they've said when the contracts run out we will then nationalise the thing. >> but i don't think that means all of the all of the franchises will then go. >> i mean, well, the impression i had from the manifesto was we'll see, won't we? >> i wonder whether or not that should be a concern for people. the saving grace for that is, i think most people think the trains are so awful at the moment. you know, maybe there will be a grace period. yeah, they are shocking. they are shocking. anyway, time for a quick viral video and take a look now at what joe biden's been claiming. now i think this may be one of the biggest ever gaffes. difficult to say though, isn't it? >> by the way, i'm proud to be, as i said, the first vice president, first black woman served with a black president. i'm proud of the first black woman, the supreme court. there's just so much that we can do because together we there's nothing like this. the united states of america . states of america. >> yeah. all right. i mean, so basically, he seems to say that

he's, you know, the first black woman vice president and all of that stuff. it's difficult. i think. i think he's talking about kamala harris . but then about kamala harris. but then does that mean he thinks he's. come on, i don't know. i mean, it's difficult to say, but our graphics department here have knocked us a little treat for us. okay. so this is this is joe biden. but but with the body of oprah winfrey there we are. so there we go. well done joe. we've made your dreams come true . we've made your dreams come true. there you are anyway. i don't think he looks that bad, actually . coming up, some more actually. coming up, some more viral videos for you. and if you thought that the end of the general election campaign meant no more ed davey antics, then. well, i'm here to tell you now that you were wrong , major. way that you were wrong, major. way down the line . but to be fair, down the line. but to be fair, that looks a bit like me at my wedding, actually. plus, more discussion on the front pages with my wonderful pack. so stay tuned.

welcome back. i've got some more front pages for you. now so we've got the times. the work of change begins. starmer vows to rebuild britain. conservatives reduced to 121 seats and 4 million votes for reform. so there we go. the mirror number 10, picture of it is their front page. now we begin. new prime minister pledges to rebuild britain brick by brick after labour's night of history. keir starmer enters downing street. well, there we go, so yes, obviously i am continuing to be joined by my panel. but next, a couple of couple of quick videos for you. so this is our very own prince william has been spotted whizzing around his royal grounds on his own e—scooter. so the prince of wales admitted to buying one last year to take on trips to see the king now. so apparently he's now whizzing

around one of the palaces there and he goes off to see the king on an e—scooter. i suppose that's when you know your house is too big, isn't it? when you can, you can get around it on an e—scooter, but, you know, it's difficult. one this really, i think for a lot of gb news viewers and listeners because a lot of us think that e—scooters are a menace. but we're also really pro—monarchy. so where are you on this one? that's what i'd be quite keen to know. either of you, any of you guys have been on a e—scooters anytime soon? no no, i've been on an electric bike. >> i do because of the house of my legs. >> i've got bones of my legs in the house of commons. i had a segway which had four wheels on it. >> good for you. so you know, it's a stand up thing. >> yeah, it's brilliant because you're not sitting down. so i used to zoom around. i did run over a few mps toes during my time. >> yeah, well, being one of them. >> lord, lancaster, a couple of them. >> he didn't have a humza yousaf's moment there. where you managed to trip over. you fell off it. >> yeah, i know, but, i know i just ran over people's toes because, you know, when you're going through the lobby, it's all crammed with loads of people , so. 50. >> so.

>> but i love my segway. it was fantastic. it's called a roller scooter. it's invented by this physio in devon. it's absolutely incredible . it's great indoors. incredible. it's great indoors. and i was zooming along around the house of commons. >> oh, there you go. oh, fantastic. well there you are. well obviously william is doing it because his palace is too big and he needs to go and see the king. but fair play, i suppose. isuppose king. but fair play, i suppose. i suppose it's a greener alternative than i don't know, driving the bentley there or something. but anyway, the leader of the lib dems, sir ed davey, was spotted in the early hours of the morning celebrating his win by belting out a rendition of neil diamond's sweet caroline as his party celebrated a night of historic electoral success. you're great, caroline love, of course . caroline love, of course. >> oh, okay. >> oh, okay. >> all right, so he had an election campaign full of different stunts, and all of that stuff. managed to win 71 seats. so fair play to him. he's got a right to celebrate, hasn't he? i think we can, you know, say regardless of what you think about the lib dems, they've had about the lib dems, they've had a he's had a good campaign. it's

culminated in 71 seats. so the results are the results. i know that the vote share is ridiculous though. actually half a million fewer votes than reform 71 seats plays reforms, five seats. but we are where we are. i've just got another one now of wes streeting actually spoken about him a bit tonight because he's going to start negotiating with the junior doctors apparently next week. but he embarked on an oceanic voyage of a metaphor and sailed his good labour ship straight onto the rocks . onto the rocks. >> yes, the implosion of the conservatives and the snp has put wind in labour's sails. but the only reason we've got sails on the ship and the ship is shipshape is because keir starmer took the vessel from the shipwreck in 2019, rebuilt it and made it ship, you know, shipshape and seaworthy again and can we play that again? >> is that possible ? so we've >> is that possible? so we've got to see that again. >> and yes , the implosion of the >> and yes, the implosion of the conservatives and the snp has put wind in labour's sails. but the only reason we've got sails on the ship and the ship is

shipshape is because keir starmer took the vessel from the shipwreck in 2019, rebuilt it and made it ship, you know, shipshape and seaworthy again . shipshape and seaworthy again. >> and he's had a shocker there, wasn't he? he said you could tell he was about halfway through that metaphor when he thought, i've, i've knackered this going and going his motive was noble. >> he was trying not to mix the metaphors. it was like peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. >> it was that kind of done? yeah. >> there you go. well. yeah. no, not possibly not his finest houn not possibly not his finest hour. but election nights are always a little bit tricky. >> you're probably knackered as well. yes, indeed. oh, yeah. >> indeed . right. okay. it is >> indeed. right. okay. it is time to reveal today's greatest briton and union jackass all right then, john, i'm going to start with your greatest briton. although i've seen it and i think it's really weird. >> what you mean, really weird? who is it ? who is it? >> tell the nation it's rishi sunak rishi sunak today, of all daysis sunak rishi sunak today, of all days is your greatest briton? >> no, i tell you why. no because i was particularly taken, by the way, that he was so good and gracious and

dignified, when in fact, he'd been smashed in the face by the whole country. >> what do you want him to do, come out and just go screw the lot of you? i'm a billionaire. >> i don't need this. >> i don't need this. >> but i've seen people often. i've seen lots of people over the years. i mean, the first time i was in number 10 and outside when there was a change of government, it was 50 years ago. so i've seen a lot of them come and a lot of them go. and i thought he was extremely dignified, and i liked the way that he praised keir starmer. and obviously he felt he was decent guy and that he had respect for him. that's quite something to say when you've lost an election against the other person. and he was saying whatever arguments we've had , whatever arguments we've had, that's my feeling about him. and on the other side, two keir starmer being very decent about rishi sunak. so, you know, we live in a turbulent, difficult world where people are nasty each other all the time. i thought that was an occasion to say rishi sunak on this day, not so rishi sunak didn't launch a military coup and as a result of thatis military coup and as a result of that is now is now. >> i'm only i'm only taking the

mickey john. right. go on. who's your greatest briton, please? >> mine is rachel reeves for being the first female chancellor of this country. we've actually had record numbers of female mps this year, which is amazing. and obviously her being the first female chancellor sets an example for all of, the incoming ones . all of, the incoming ones. >> will it make her a better chancellor? >> not necessarily. i'm pretty prepare. >> i would politely argue, you know. has she done anything to earn that other than just be born? >> just. no. >> just. no. >> all i'm saying is that she's made history in the country and representation matters. we all know i love a bit of dna, so, >> all right, fair enough, fair enough. all right, go on then. >> robert, i think john said, you know, which is very i think rishi is very decent. and one of the reasons why i say that, and he was a very decent prime minister of all the ones that i met, was he's made, in my view, the greatest britain is, craig mckinley. okay because he just made him appear. oh, god . and made him appear. oh, god. and this is the barnet man. he lost his arms. he lost his legs. he's an incredible human being. craig mckinley . what he went through mckinley. what he went through and his courage and his

indomitable spirit, he is really the greatest britain. and he no one, no one deserves more than that. >> was a shame because. >> was a shame because. >> because he'd got himself through so much to just run again as an mp, hadn't he? and then you know, there was the election was called, but he's in the house of lords now. he's now in the house of lords. so craig mckinley is today's greatest britain so that we are right. union jackass time. everybody. come on, john, kick us off. >> no, joe biden. >> no, joe biden. >> why? because he really ought by now realised that he can't go on.and by now realised that he can't go on. and that 80% of the american public, according to the opinion polls, reckon he's too old. at what point does he realise that he's doing a great deal of damage to the country? >> as he says in american last night, actually with some experience of the democratic party and he basically said to me that essentially joe biden kind of thinks he's god, and that's what's stopping him from he thinks he's like the second coming. >> he genuinely believes. >> he genuinely believes. >> so he's mad and he's completely mad. >> so another reason for him being a jackass going to honour mine is nigel farage. >> and i think he deserves this,

actually, because, he was still partying with this guy, george jones, who made really derogatory comments saying that the pride flag was degenerate and also comparing the lgbt community to, to paedophiles. so he basically said that this person wouldn't be involved with anything with reform. and then there were pictures of him partying away, with the party. so i just kind of wonder when he says that he's got zero tolerance for these things. is it actually real? >> yeah, i get what you mean. i do, i do think that ultimately that that story didn't have a huge amount of cut through, did it though, because of the 4 million odd votes. but i get what you say. go on robert, who's your so sadly it is the, director of campaigns. >> this guy called tony lee, because he was suspended, he let the prime minister down. he let the prime minister down. he let the volunteers down. i mean, my volunteers in my area were working day and night, knocking on doors , staying up till on doors, staying up till midnight licking. and this guy was betting on the day of the election. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, he also he also oversaw an absolutely shocking campaign in his actual job. yeah, exactly. >> yeah. so what?

>> yeah. so what? >> shocking. okay. joe biden is today's union jack has honorary union jackass. all right, so there we go . right. well, look, there we go. right. well, look, thank you very much, everybody. i would like to say a special thank you to everybody who came last night. especially steve from bracknell, who is a legend and i will be seeing you all again on monday. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. very good evening to you. here's your latest gb news. weather forecast coming to you from the met office. this weekend's looking relatively cool and showery for many of us, but before then we do have some heavy, persistent rain around today. we've had a waving front across southern parts, bringing some wet weather here, and then a pulse of heavy, persistent rain is pushing its way northeastwards across england. as we go through this evening and overnight. clearing through though as we go through the early hours of tomorrow morning. that being said, there will be some heavy, persistent rain lingering across northern parts of scotland which could cause

some localised issues elsewhere, some localised issues elsewhere, some showery rain, but also some clear skies under which, away from the towns and cities, we're likely to dip into single figures. so a bit of a fresh start for the time of year if we look in more detail and as i mentioned, there will be some heavy, persistent rain across some northern parts of scotland. we could see some high totals building up chance of a bit of flooding and some difficult driving conditions here. heading further south though, and there will be some showers, perhaps across parts of northern ireland and into northern england to watch out for some heavy, showery rain affecting more central parts of england and into wales two and then across more southern parts of england. we're likely to have just a mixture of sunny spells and a few scattered showers around as we go through the day. some of the heavier, more frequent, showery rain should clear away of sorts, but there will be plenty of showers around as we go through the afternoon, particularly towards the north and west. further south and east, perhaps a greater chance of seeing something a little bit dnen of seeing something a little bit drier, but even here, 1 or 2 showers are possible. there will be some blustery winds around and with temperatures below

average for the time of year, it is going to feel relatively cool for most of us. overnight. the showers should largely die out,

>> very good evening. you're with gb news. i'm sam francis. the headlines tonight at 11:00. well the us president is among world leaders congratulating sir keir starmer on his landslide

election win in a call with the new prime minister. joe biden said he looks forward to their shared work supporting freedom and democracy. and earlier, the king met with sir keir starmer, the third leader in number 10 of the third leader in number 10 of the monarch's reign. so far. dufing the monarch's reign. so far. during that historic meeting at buckingham palace, king charles told the labour leader he must be utterly exhausted as he acknowledged the challenge of getting to grips with the new role of being prime minister just hours after entering number 10, sir keir starmer has wasted no time appointing his new cabinet. rachel reeves has been confirmed as the first ever female chancellor angela rayner is deputy prime minister. yvette cooperis is deputy prime minister. yvette cooper is home secretary and david lammy has been made foreign secretary. the first surprise appointment, though, was the promotion of lisa nandy to culture secretary after thangam debbonaire, who held the post in the shadow cabinet, lost her seat to the greens and before appointing his new cabinet, sir keir starmer gave his first speech outside downing street, promising to rebuild
