10:07 am
political cabinet starting at 10:00 just now. and ellie reeves, who ran the labour labour campaign, has just gone in. steve reeves gone in, he's the environment secretary and we know, of course, angela rayner was here for an hour, eight till nine, and then we know that rachel reeves is in number 11 downing street. she may have stayed elsewhere overnight. she arrived in the government car. the sun's coming out on this new labour government. thank goodness. it's been raining for weeks. as far as i can make out in number 10 downing street, but i think it's quite an exciting time for them, really. i mean, some of them look quite delighted to be going through the front door. only two of the cabinet have had experience of being in government. pat mcfadden, john healey. the rest of them have been watching this front door through gb news and other tv screens for quite a while now. now they're doing the job they've wanted for so long, so lots of happiness really, and delight and excitement amongst them. but the problems are soon descending. we're seeing that the new, prisons minister, james timpson, he's told channel 4 news that he thinks only a third of prisoners should be in prison, which is certainly not government policy at the moment, but might be in the future
10:08 am
because he's now the new prisons minister. and we'll see how that one plays out. and elsewhere, of course, in politics, the tories are trying to work out who should be their new leader . i should be their new leader. i can reveal that jeremy hunt will not be that person. he has told me he will not stand for the conservative leadership . so conservative leadership. so knock him off your off your list , knock him off your off your list, the cabinet. >> a lot of them don't have any cabinet experience, but two of them one, you've mentioned james timpson, aren't even mps. patrick vallance being the other . patrick vallance being the other. >> yeah, that doesn't matter. they're now peers in the house of lords, so they are now government ministers. they've been made peers. yesterday, lord valence, as he should be called, now known to our viewers during the covid pandemic. he's now the science minister. so look over your shoulder here. i can see wes streeting coming down if , wes streeting coming down if, hibbs can turn around his wes streeting the health secretary arriving for cabinet. we'll ask him a question, he said overnight. of course, he thinks that the nhs is broken and only he can fix it. he also says there'll be a deal. let's ask him. wes streeting, will you pay 35% to the doctors? will you pay
10:09 am
35? the doctors wes streeting . a 35? the doctors wes streeting. a cheery good morning. now from wes streeting. one of his big things he's going to do is try and sort out the long running, one year long running junior doctors strike 35% pay rise. they want will this government pay-7 they want will this government pay? that is a first question, one which you'll have to answer with rachel reeves, the chancellor . chancellor. >> yeah. christopher wes streeting tweeted last night that the official government policy now is that the nhs is broken . and he'd been on the broken. and he'd been on the call the phones to the unions, the junior doctors. but he didn't indicate that they were maybe going to cough up the 35. i think some were saying that perhaps the unions were just waiting for labour to get in before striking a deal, just to hurt the tories. >> well, that's a, that's a, that's a suggestion. and never, never confirmed by the. and here is louise hague, the transport secretary, louise haigh . well secretary, louise haigh. well nationalise the railways. what's your plan for rail as soon as
10:10 am
possible. there you have it. so as soon as possible the labour will nationalise the railways. she tells gb news, that's louise haigh, she's a transport secretary. as soon as possible the government will nationalise the government will nationalise the railways. now the idea there in policy is to, as the franchises end , the government franchises end, the government will take over running the railways. but she tells us there as soon as possible. >> goodness me. very interesting indeed. any other surprises ? oh, indeed. any other surprises? oh, he's. he's got an eye on on who's coming. he's got an eye on who's coming. he's got an eye on who's coming, christopher on the tory side , lots of gossip about tory side, lots of gossip about who could be the potential leader. you say jeremy hunt has ruled himself out. is that a surprise? he was, you know, up there in the list of contenders, wasn't he ? wasn't he? >> he certainly was. and he'd be a safe pair of hands, over your shoulder. he comes . peter. shoulder. he comes. peter. peter. kyle. morning, mr kyle. excited for government . that's excited for government. that's peter kyle. i think the science meant the minister. i think the
10:11 am
science secretary. technology secretary. i'm checking my notes. that's right. science and technology secretary. yeah. the morning. so he looked jolly . morning. so he looked jolly. >> peter kyle, the hove mp. of course. kyle there in east sussex he he won a thumping majority. amid a challenge from the greens down there. he's actually quite as a local mp. i live not far from peter kyle. he's a pretty decent mp. >> and ben here's here's here's bridget phillipson. miss phillipson will you . what's your phillipson will you. what's your priority miss phillipson ? hiya. priority miss phillipson? hiya. a lot to do, a lot to get on with. bridget phillipson. she's the education secretary. she has plans to withdraw the vat relief from private schools. that will not please a lot of people. but of course, she's there saying a lot to do, this is fantastic , christopher. >> you're right. in the thick of things. we're not going to miss a trick here. >> well, i yeah, if you can stay with me as long as you can, there's more arriving right now. i can't quite see. my eyes aren't quite, quite strong enough anymore. but they'll
10:12 am
come. coming shortly into view, as you said, there , the tory as you said, there, the tory leadership campaign. this this weekend. you have a lot of tory leader candidate leadership candidates setting out their stall. suella braverman kemi badenoch , tom tugendhat from the badenoch, tom tugendhat from the moderate wing of the party. where will the party go? we know that jeremy hunt now will not stand. he told me this morning that time has passed. he said twice, of course, once we had bofis twice, of course, once we had boris johnson in the final two and then he. and then he also tried. morning. good morning. good morning, morning. that i think is the new attorney general who replaced emily thornberry , he's now a peer. an thornberry, he's now a peer. an unanswered question from last night, by the way, is why? where is emily thornberry? what's she done wrong? not to be made attorney general. all other jobs in the shadow cabinet went to the people who had them in the past, but not to emily thornberry. and that will be an emerging story over the weekend. why didn't she get that job? to be the attorney general? why do you suppose there about the tory leadership ? leadership? >> why do you suppose she didn't get the job? >> well, she did, i it might be that she she was asked , i think,
10:13 am
that she she was asked, i think, by camilla tominey on gb news about what will happen. will there be an overflow in schools from the private schools, so i'm having to close. and she said there might be some bigger class sizes. it could be part of that. i don't know the answer to the question, but that was a degree of misspeak, maybe during the dunng of misspeak, maybe during the during the campaign. but she's very well regarded, i think, by a lot of tory by a lot of labour labour mps. they like she's been around for a while. she has experience in government. so the fact that she wasn't included in the top table is surprising. i think to many people, and we should be emerged. more on that will emerge over the weekend. but this weekend on the tory side is all about leadership. we know that rishi sunak will stay as prime minister until there's as prime minister until there's a mechanism set up to find a new leader. we know jeremy hunt won't stand. so you have got where do you go from here? do you try and move the party to the right to address the reform challenge ? five mps now in challenge? five mps now in parliament, including , nigel parliament, including, nigel farage, our former colleague @gbnews, and lee anderson, richard tice, of course. do you
10:14 am
go towards the right or do you stay in the centre ground to try and win that back? now that's the debate over the weekend. we heard from robert buckland shortly after the votes closed on on thursday night. he's very cross about what he thinks is his lurch the right, but suella braverman priti patel there on the right of the party kemi badenoch more more centrist and of course, tom tugendhat. but in that list we can rule out for certain jeremy hunt, he's told me this morning that his time has been and gone on that kind of thing. >> christopher, what about someone like robert jenrick who just about won? i think he won his seat actually quite convincingly, but of course, very outspoken on immigration, really sticking it to rishi sunakin really sticking it to rishi sunak in the latter months of his tenure. has he got a chance? do you think he has got a chance and he is someone who is definitely more and more on the centre ground. >> he's been making a lot of noise, writing quite interesting pieces about his plans for government over the past few weeks, and months in the telegraph, notably newspaper and repeatedly on gb news on patrick christys, setting out his stall for tory voters and the like. so
10:15 am
i think he is someone to watch too, elsewhere those five are my top five, i think. >> and christopher, are we expecting, some more members of the cabinet to arrive imminently, we'll stick with you in case we get some more people coming in. now, of course. this is the first cabinet meeting. >> yes, more are coming. and we are breaking news live on gb news. we have heard that as soon as possible from louise hay, they want to nationalise the rail service. what that means is that as these franchises run out, the government will take back control to use that that that word, that phrase of the railway. so you have the railways taking control. allow the cat walking past. they're walking away from number 10, but the, but no, but the idea is, is that the, the government takes back control of the railways, away from these private companies. so as soon as possible that will happen from louise hay. that's a that's a news breaking here on gb. news on saturday morning. >> interesting chopper . pass my
10:16 am
>> interesting chopper. pass my regards to larry the cat. you know that's the only person i care about really on downing street. >> the only person. the only person. but chopper, what do we know? we know that the rwanda plan axed, it will take a little bit of time to untangle us from rwanda. untangle us from that scheme. i understand that money will continue to be need to be paid, and settled before it's completely axed altogether as a scheme . scheme. >> yeah. on the on that . emily. >> yeah. on the on that. emily. they are going to axe the rwanda scheme on day one, i wonder whether that'll be on the agenda for the cabinet meeting starting at 1030. there's a political meeting first thing right now. that's ellie reeves and others will be around the cabinet table. that's when they talk about the actual labour party policy. but the government work starts at 10:30 with this, with this group photograph of all of the cabinet meeting around the coffin shaped cabinet table, grinning , maybe, or looking grinning, maybe, or looking resolute and determined. we'll get an idea of the mood of that
10:17 am
when it happens. but yeah, the on the rwanda plan that will be axed immediately. we've paid £270 million so far of our money into that. that's gone. that's gone to rwanda to set up a reception areas for those migrants who now won't be flown there by this government, the new government. but two payments of £50 million in 2025 and then 2026, they will not be paid. so it will save £100 million of our money. but that doesn't answer the question of how on earth. yvette cooper, the home secretary, deals with the problems of illegal migration. she says that they can get a better border command, get a better border command, get a better deal with with authorities on the continent. we'll wait to see if that works out. and in fact, i might even ask that question of keir starmer at his 1 pm. press conference. and i'll be there for gb news just while i'm talking to you, i can see ed miliband, who is the climate change secretary, about to arrive. so we'll ask him a question for gb news, along with jonathan reynolds , who is the jonathan reynolds, who is the new business secretary. they're clutching their their red government folders. now, this is what the this is what government

quickly as possible. ed miliband thinks that because gb energy starts with gb, gb news viewers will absolutely love it . and, will absolutely love it. and, what else have we learned? we learnt, chopper got to put it in its place by, who was that chopper who told you off? >> but at, at miliband told me off, i think, >> yeah. yeah, it's all part of a slight blur. >> privy council. yeah. >> privy council. yeah. >> privy council. yeah. >> privy council. oh, forgive me, that was lucy power. yeah. she said i'm the president of the lord. president of the privy council. and that's why i've got a green folder. but no, there's a green folder. but no, there's a degree of optimism. it is starting to rain again on number 10, downing street. it appears it never stopped raining for the past 24 hours. but i think there is a feeling here of excitement. i mean, having a cabinet meeting at 1030 on a saturday morning, the pm hasn't been pm for a day and he's doing this. he clearly wants this. he's got his team around him to get started with a with a with a vigour and attack. the problems that they think the tories have left their , their, tories have left their, their,
10:28 am
this government of course , he this government of course, he flies off to america, as i said before on tuesday for a nato meeting and immediately into pressure to to, commit to increasing defence spending to 2.5% of gdp. and by the end of the decade, which the conservatives said they would do. yeah, that is the commitment that we need to spend more money on defence because of course, the world is a more dangerous place with the invasion of, of ukraine by russia. >> okay. well, thank you very much indeed for bringing us all of that. good job christopher. hope our political editor there outside number 10. they kept coming. >> they did if that's the first day of school, i'm not sure how many of those cabinet ministers will be part of the cool kids, maybe, you know , back of the maybe, you know, back of the playground, i don't know, but, let's bring in our panel. let's get the comments from political commentator, joana jarjue and comedian bruce devlin. good morning to you both. thank you for being here. first of all, look, lots of lots of excitement and, you know, some fawning over this new cabinet and this new government. you know, it's a red dawn's broken over the uk. whatever. let me just go through some of the names in this cabinet. wes streeting said he'd
10:29 am
like to push the daily mail columnist under trains. david lammy, called trump a racist nazi sympathiser, are we going to go back to chopper? okay >> okay, so it's okay. so it's, lisa nandy. the new culture secretary and liz kendall, the work and pensions secretary. how will you cut the benefit bill? masca morning. lisa nandy lisa nandy there. and liz kendall, a big challenge there, i think, for liz kendall on cutting the enormous benefits . bill lisa enormous benefits. bill lisa nandy the cul de sac tree , of nandy the cul de sac tree, of course, replacing thangam debbonaire, who was the shadow culture secretary. she lost her job, her role to the green party in bristol. and that's that's really the only three changes in the cabinet, set up yesterday was lisa nandy becoming culture secretary or jonathan ashworth, of course, is no longer in the cabinet because he lost his seat in leicester. thangam debbonaire lost her seat and of course, emily thornberry, as was just at the beginning of this show, no
10:30 am
longer the attorney general and that isn't really explained why that's happened yet. >> okay. fantastic. thank you very much indeed, christopher. hope we'll come back to you very shortly, i'm sure, johanna . yes? shortly, i'm sure, johanna. yes? what do you make of the cabinet? >> i think the cabinet is great. and, i think the cabinet is a lot more kind of representative of the british public. i think a lot of people are quite annoyed, really? where when it seems as if politicians are just kind of parachuted into seats. the more career politicians. but if you look at, you know, the most of them, they're actually just normal people from normal backgrounds. the majority of them went to state schools . them went to state schools. quite a handful of them grew up on council estates and they've come from really a life of service. and keir starmer keeps talking about this thing about this is a government of service. and reiterating that point. and some of them, you know, have worked at women's refuges, for example, and worked as aid workers. angela rayner, for example, who has also been a trade union leader, and i think it's a lot more representative of the majority of normal people in this country. bruce. >> thoughts? >> thoughts? >> why was lisa nandy's bag so big? is she planning on staying
10:31 am
overnight in there? her and her counterparts have huge bags. maybe they were kept out on the streets, but that was interesting that people came in from different entrances. maybe that's for preferential vip lane deals to be done later down the line. >> who knows? they're not the tories. >> i would have asked ed miliband how much our bills are going up by, you know, it's all very well, you know, people coming from council estates very, you know, very good, good stuff. but i want to know the actual the, the content and the substance of this cabinet, >> but in fact, cooper was on question time and she was asked, i think, by the leader of the snp about gb energy and wasn't able to answer any questions as to how it would work and what the cost. i mean, she doesn't have a crystal ball, obviously, but she wasn't able to give any kind of basic information. she's also struggled on the question of illegal migration. >> during the election campaign, we had her on this channel being interviewed on that quite a few times, and it sounds as though the plan isn't isn't all there yet, isn't quite ready to go . yet, isn't quite ready to go. joanna, i don't know. >> i think that the plan they've
10:32 am
been quite clear. >> smash the gangs. >> smash the gangs. >> well, yeah, they've been clear about that. and that is a really important part of it. >> but also, i know you know that we're already trying to do that. >> no, but i think that they wanted to kind of up the ante as well by bringing in the intelligence services. and keir starmer has kind of said, look, when he was the head of the crown prosecution service , you crown prosecution service, you know, he's tackled terrorism. so why would it not be able to oversee tackling these migrant gangs. and that is a really, really big part of it. but also another part of it is the fact that we've got this massive backlog. we're paying what, £7 million a day or something like that to house people in hotels. the processing and the actual, the home office team itself isn't running quite efficiently, so i think they're going to work on that as well. >> the problem is, smash the gang sounds great, but it's like the war on drugs. it's never ending just because you take out one set of people in calais or dunkirk, that doesn't mean there's going to be other people. it's a very lucrative, multi—billion dollar industry. so just because you take a couple of lads out in dunkirk, it doesn't mean that others aren't going to spring up. this
10:33 am
is an international trade. so i'm just saying smash the gangs. >> i mean, well, no, it's an ongoing thing. >> just like we always tackle the endless terrorism as an ongoing thing, because the endless war on drugs, it never ends >> it just costs money. it costs lives. it goes on and on and on. nothing. >> i bet it costs less than rwanda, though. ben. well, it sounds like you're absolutely 100% sold that this cabinet is going to be the best thing since sliced bread, >> bruce, not so sure. cautious optimism. >> cautious optimism. optimism. >> cautious optimism. optimism. >> oh. all right then. well, we'll have a dose of scepticism over to here balance it all out. thank you very much indeed, joanna and bruce, we've got lots more to come. politics, sports and our greatest britain saturday morning live. we're on gb news
10:34 am
10:35 am
10:36 am
>> hello. welcome back. it's 1037. you're with ben and emily on saturday morning. live. only on saturday morning. live. only on gb news. now, the first cabinet meeting is due to be kicking off right about now,
10:37 am
isn't it, emily? with our new pm beginning to put in place his agenda for the next five years. >> yes, christopher was outside number 10, welcoming them all in, saying hello, heckling a little, he got a few sarky comments, didn't he, the newly appointed ministers who are taking over from the conservatives will be rather busy from the get go, but what do we think the uk will look like under a labour leadership? >> that's the big question, isn't it? so we're joined now by political commentator joana jarjue, journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth and former conservative special adviser to michael gove. nonetheless charlie rowley, good morning to you all. good morning. good morning. you know, this is kind of your fantasy, isn't it? this cabinet walk in this morning, a blair esque, you know, do you know, i must confess, i find it very strange because i've known wes streeting since i was a teenager. >> and so to see him walking down downing street as the health secretary, it's very odd. i know this morning, calling, talking about the prime minister and realising it's keir starmer is odd, good, strange, odd, bad, odd, fantastic. emily but you know what i mean. the appointment that christmas, isn't it, for you? it's. well it
10:38 am
comes rather less often. it's 19 years since labour last won in a general election . but i mean, general election. but i mean, you know, it's interesting that it's basically all the same cabinet appointments has had shadow cabinet. you know, normally there's actually a bit of change. this is a chance for them to rejig. but there's been a lot of loyalty i think to keir starmer, everyone that behaved themselves kept it. emily thornberry is unique in having not got the post that she was put in line for, and i think that's because she'd been a little bit of a loose cannon. i think she's she wasn't that part of a keir starmer project. and he always said he was ruthless. and i think he probably illustrated that she was a bit of a loose cannon on this channel, >> charlie, how dogmatic , do you >> charlie, how dogmatic, do you think this, cabinet is going to be? >> well, i think, well, i agree with benjamin. >> not something i say very often and try not to, but. look, i mean, emily thornberry. yes. i think she was a bit of a loose cannon. she went on and sort of made some flippant comments about when it came to a serious issue about vat on private schools, for example, and said, well, you know, some class sizes will just have to increase. i mean, that's not, i think,
10:39 am
something on message that the labour machine would have wanted. i'm sure she'll get a junior ministerial post later today or something like that. she won't be in the cabinet. contrast that to lisa nandy, for example, who was severely demoted from shadow foreign secretary back to, where she was international development secretary, a post that doesn't actually exist within the conservative government. but she's been rewarded as culture secretary. so it is that sort of i think there is that ruthlessness streak within sir keir starmer of the labour party and no doubt sue gray, chief of staff . staff. >> navalny, i asked you, how left wing do you think this, this cabinets going to be? oh, how, ideological, >> because keir starmer said there's this is going to essentially be doctrine free. is it, no, i think there will be some serious issues that the country he's going to have to put up taxes. i mean, he's going to have to be straight with the country. having said he'll freeze, you know, national insurance income tax and whatever the other one was, gains will go up. inheritance capital gains. exactly. so that will be the first step where the pubuc will be the first step where the public won't be happy with that because they had an alternative government that was pledging to
10:40 am
cut taxes. he'll have to deal with the issues in the middle east. and so he's got to appease some of his more left wing mps when it comes to the situation in gaza. >> more left wing than your one nafion >> more left wing than your one nation tories. >> yes, tory wets, without a doubt. >> joanna, i was about to get into the, the depths of this question before we went back to choppen question before we went back to chopper. but i mean, you seemingly love this cabinet. i seemingly love this cabinet. i see your eyes lighting up. they're sparkling upon in the lights. but look, let me just go through some of them. so wes streeting, he said once he'd like to push a daily mail columnist under a train, david lammy, called trump a racist, a nazi sympathiser. he reckons men can grow a cervix. angela rayner thinks tories are scum lucy lisa nandy, the culture secretary. she thinks trans women are women. education secretary bridget phillipson says trans women with penises can go into women's toilets, james timpson, the prisons minister, this morning it's been revealed an interview last week that he thinks only a third of prisoners should be in prison. keir starmer finally decided men could become women only after
10:41 am
seeking advice from tony blair and patrick vallance, who wasn't even an mp who oversaw damaging lockdowns and the covid saga. he's now been rushed into the cabinet. so when you see these kind of people on their backgrounds, are you still sharing the same kind of enthusiasm for them? >> well, i think that, you know, a large chunk of the list and some of the statements that you've read out, particularly when it comes to what is a woman and the whole trans debate there is a big chunk of the country who actually do agree with them, and don't think that you think men can grow a service. i'm not saying that i specifically do, but what i'm saying is that in terms of what makes a woman and about, you know, the whole toilet debate and the things that we talk about all the time, there are people that maybe disagree with them slightly, but don't think that it's that controversial, that it's going to scare them, that these people are in the cabinet. in terms of angela rayner, you know, calling tory scum and things like that. i think that, you know, some politicians obviously use really fruity language and there's been some really harsh statements and things that have been said over the last 14 years by the tory government as well, including
10:42 am
people like boris johnson. so it's not really anything new that some of these people would have made some statements, you know, they've been in politics for a while. >> benjamin angela rayner will are watching her there in her green suit. that was from yesterday of course. is she going to cause any trouble ? going to cause any trouble? she's got her own mind. >> you know, it's interesting because she is sort of to the left of keir starmer. wasn't part of the project. in fact, she tried to knife him in 2021 when things weren't looking so positive. but they've clearly developed a much stronger relationship. you know, you look back to the general election campaign and she didn't put her foot in it. there were no serious missteps throughout that. i think she had her doing the debates. yeah, exactly. i think she's i think she's finding her feet. now. if you look at the polling, you know, i know the tories tried to make a big thing of, oh, she might be in charge at 6 pm. or whatever, but actually she is the most popular frontline politician in the country. it's pretty low bar, you know. is she? she is. the polling says that she has the most relatable and the best figures of all the frontline politicians on either side. and i think, you know , yesterday,
10:43 am
i think, you know, yesterday, first of all, i like when keir starmer mentioned about being working class and having someone like that in downing street. but for a lot of people, i think seeing someone from angela rayner's background, which is very poor , she's really had to very poor, she's really had to fight for it. yeah, okay. but regardless of your politics, isn't it? >> it's about what they're going to do in government. it's not superficial at all, are they, about how they're going to make decisions. >> i'm sorry, it's not superficial. it is the fact that she knows what it is like to come from extraordinary poverty, the challenges, the things in front of people trying to overcome those those posts right now in a position of power. exactly. >> and i think she's going to do it makes me proud to be british, that someone like that can get to the position of. but this is all very emotional arguments, isn't it, charlie? what people want to know is, are our taxes going to go up? is immigration going to go up? is immigration going to go down? is the economy going to go down? is the economy going to go down? is the economy going to grow fewer people, probably fewer people probably care about, you know, angela rayner's upbringing, definitely. >> and i think on the flip side, you know, people didn't care that rishi sunak was a multi—millionaire or what trousers or what. i don't think
10:44 am
they know they didn't. they they, they didn't, they don't they, they didn't, they don't they didn't think that about david cameron when he became prime minister. they didn't think about that when boris, when he went to eton, people who make up this argument think that, you know, oh, because they're super rich, they're out of touch. you can be a very, very good mp by understanding the issues and learning along the issues and learning along the way. you don't have to have lived. of course, no one can lived. of course, no one can live every experience that all of us are going to face. so i think that's just for the birds. but but emily is absolutely right. taxes are going to go up. you know, angela rayner is in the department for levelling up a department that i hold very fondly, having been there. but, you know, it's not just about spending, spending, spending. you've got to encourage growth in certain areas. now where's their plan? where's the plan on immigration? >> well, we shall see won't we. thank you very much, charlie, giovanna and benjamin. it's now time for the great british giveaway i giveaway! >> woohooi giveaway! >> woohoo! your chance to win our biggest cash prize so far. an incredible. this is the biggest one, isn't it? yeah, a whopper £30,000. totally tax free. which means you'll get the lot to do whatever you like with. here's all the details you need for a chance to become our next big winner.

10:47 am
10:48 am
10:49 am
1049 ben and emily. with you on saturday morning live. thanks for joining with you on saturday morning live. thanks forjoining us. now, time for the best part of the show. our greatest britain, where we share amazing people who do amazing things. and this week, that is doctor leo chiang. and reverend hilary chiang. >> well, doctor chen regularly serves as a volunteer surgeon aboard the mercy ships in west africa and has recently served his 17th mission aboard the ships. he volunteers with his wife, reverend hilary chiang, a methodist minister in uk and a volunteer ward and patients pastor on board the mercy ships too. >> for the last 16 years, he's been giving up two weeks of his
10:50 am
annual leave, his holiday to volunteer with the mercy ships in countries like liberia, benin, togo and madagascar, where i think they've just got back from, just to name a few. so good morning to you both. thank you for joining so good morning to you both. thank you forjoining us. and thank you for joining us. and what a privilege. and we were just talking off air that you have just returned from madagascar. so just briefly explain what are mercy ships. >> well, mercy ships provide world class surgery on the ship. and the ship then sailed to these poorest of the poor country because there are no infrastructure to get road or rail there. and we offer free surgery. and also education, training of medical staff and partner with the local or, the host nation to build up their surgical and anaesthetic services. >> and what's your special specialisation? specialisation. speciality speciality. when it comes to surgery, it's a bit of a mouthful. >> i'm an oral and maxillofacial head and neck surgeon. because i have to be dentist doctor. then general surgeon, then head and neck surgeon and all these. put together. and that's why i'm
10:51 am
specialised in this part of the body. >> so how long have you been travelling west africa? you go on all these different ships, different ports and you treat the needy and the vulnerable. how long have you both been doing this? >> 20 years. 20 years? just over 20 years. >> and you take the time to do this out of your own holiday from work. why do you do it? >> well, because i'm indebted to the education in this country. with all the qualifications i get. and nhs is great. i love the nhs because without nhs we see cases that we see in in the, in the, in the low income country and i want to make use of my hand to help those people who have no way of helping themselves because the, the tumours, the deformities, not just the physical ailment, but it's being ostracised and die early, commit suicide because they've been ostracised by their family. and i give you one example, i big, i remove big jaw tumours, big goitres, you know, give you an example. our normal goitre is a normal thyroid gland. it's only about ten grams
10:52 am
15g. gland. it's only about ten grams 159. | gland. it's only about ten grams 15g. i remove 500g a kilo, two kilos, three kilos. i mean, it's unimaginable. >> and hilary, you joined leo on these trips. you were a chaplain. i do, on board. i mean, how do you deal with the, you know, the sights you see and the scenes and the poverty? we were just talking about madagascar. i was lucky enough to go to madagascar. i didn't realise how poor it was. the second or third poorest country in the world. how do you deal with seeing that kind of poverty? >> so when you're on the ship, you are seeing the very worst that the country can offer, i find it a great privilege to work alongside these people and to offer them hope and support and encouragement that this tumour is going to be removed tomorrow and your face will return to a normal shape, and it's just so humbling to walk beside them. i can't imagine that the emotions of the patients going through something as traumatic as having a facial
10:53 am
tumour, to then have it removed, it must be hugely emotional. they they don't always look at you. they'll look at your shoulder because they're so disfigured, and then after the surgery, if you give them a mirror, they'll put their hand up to where the tumour used to be, and somebody has to push the handin be, and somebody has to push the hand in and show them because they're so used to going, wow, how is mercy ships funded very quickly. >> is it do you get grants from the government? is it all donations? how do you know it's a non—governmental organisation, >> it's a christian organisation and we rely completely on donations , worldwide donations. donations, worldwide donations. >> and where's next? >> and where's next? >> next. we've got two ships at the moment, one in sierra leone and one go back to madagascar. we now have a decision to make as to which ship we're going to go back in six months time. >> well, look, you are literally doing god's work. hilary. leo, you are greatest. britain's this week, very much appreciated your work and you're changing the
10:54 am
lives of many, many people. so congratulations and thank you for joining us. >> thank forjoining us. >> thank you so much. thank you so much, and i'm sure people will be very interested in finding out more about what you do. we've got huge amounts coming up, of course, digesting the results of the general election. and we've got a big sporting weekend ahead for the united kingdom this saturday morning live on . gb news. morning live on. gb news. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news . up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. hello! welcome to your gb news. weather update from the met office this weekend is rain for some and showers. occasional sunny spells but still on the cool side and we've seen some heavy outbreaks of rain this morning. we've seen some heavy outbreaks of rain this morning . that's due of rain this morning. that's due to this area of low pressure that's going to be clearing its way eastwards, but driving some north westerly winds , giving the north westerly winds, giving the cool phil so quite a lot of cloud around through late morning into the afternoon with outbreaks of rain across the central part of england and into

problems on the horizon which will be, i'm afraid, caused by keir starmer. it's up to the conservative party to see how we respond to that. >> former chancellor jeremy hunt >> former chancellorjeremy hunt has ruled himself out of standing for the tory leadership. when asked, he told gb news that the time had passed. he managed to hold on to his seat for godalming and ash and has previously tried twice to become conservative leader . to become conservative leader. well, in the us, president biden is refusing to take a cognitive test to determine if he's in mental decline. in an exclusive interview with abc news anchor george stephanopoulos, he also dismissed calls from some democrats to step aside and let a younger candidate take on republican donald trump. biden has been attempting to defuse the political crisis over his shaky debate performance. he claims he simply had a bad night. >> he had the specific cognitive tests. and have you had a neurologist, a specialist do an examination? >> no, no one said i had to. no
11:04 am
one said. they said, i'm good. >> would you be willing to undergo an independent medical evaluation that included neurological and cognitive cognitive tests and release the results to the american people? >> look, i have a cognitive test every single day. every day i have that test, everything i do. >> the prince of wales is set to attend england's clash against switzerland later in the euros quarter finals. the prince, who is the president of the fa, will be cheering on gareth southgate's side in dusseldorf as they hope to secure a place in the semis. spain knocked out hosts germany with a dramatic extra time winner, while france beat portugal on penalties last night. kick off is at 5 pm. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm ray addison more in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts .

slash alerts. >> good morning to you. 11:05 ben and emily with you on saturday morning live. hope you're enjoying the start to your weekend. the cabinet ministers certainly are the new crop who have just made their way down downing street, should we go live to christopher hope, our political editor? is he there? are we ready , chopper? there? are we ready, chopper? good morning. oh, you've got a brolly. has the weather turned? the tide ? the tide? >> yeah, it's starting to rain again, so far, the cabinet is now meeting in full. the first time this cabinet has been convened by a labour government in 14 years. the political cabinet has broken up already. that was a meeting of the same group of people. plus ellie reeves, who is the deputy campaign coordinator for the party. they'll be discussing the wash up from the general election, maybe some issues about how to run the party, in parliament in the house of
11:06 am
commons. but for the past hour, we've been watching the new cabinet ministers arrive for their meeting. that's underway. now, the full meeting will have images and pictures and videos from that meeting being filmed. now to put out on gb news shortly. but they all arrived slowly with their brand new folders, looking like the new boys at school, i asked them if they had their names written in their folders yet, and they seem to quite enjoy that, i asked louise hague, who's the transport secretary, when she will start to nationalise the railways as the party's policy is, she said as soon as possible. now what that means is, as soon as these rail franchises run out, the government will then take back state control of those railways. so by the end of maybe a five year period, we could have the railways completely in national control. also ed miliband, who is the shadow energy and net zero secretary, he , came through zero secretary, he, came through and i asked him what his plans were for gb energy and this is what he had to say. were for gb energy and this is what he had to say . good to see what he had to say. good to see you miliband. what are your
11:07 am
plans for government? lots of exciting. we're going to axe gas boilers. >> gb news us will love it. we're loving it. we're loving it already. you love gb energy at gb. we love gb energy. >> if it works for the viewers and so gb news viewers will love gb energy apparently. now the jury gb energy apparently. now the jury is out. i'm sure our viewers are very, very wise voters and people they know that we'll wait and see how this government delivers on its plans. the idea of gb news gb views gb energy forgive me is meant to be all about cutting bills for our viewers and listeners by the end of the decade, by relying increasingly on green energy and the like. so let's see if it works out. certainly looking at my energy bill, i'll be very pleased if it works out. >> and christopher, a stonking majority for the labour party, of course, but in some ways a fragile majority. do you think they'll acknowledge that in their first cabinet meeting? think about how to keep those votes on board. >> yeah, they certainly should
11:08 am
do as you say, emily. a fewer votes cast for sir keir starmer than were for jeremy corbyn. and he, of course, lost a landslide in by 80 seats to boris johnson in by 80 seats to boris johnson in 2019, i was struck by the fact that 98 of the labour seats were won with reform uk, that nigel farage's party was second place. so i think they've got to recognise the fact that they have lost support to reform uk and the like. and while the tory party is licking its wounds with just 130 seats, maybe they want to and deliver on that promise of sir keir starmer to govern for the whole country and especially , he said, for people especially, he said, for people who didn't vote labour in thursday's election. elsewhere in politics today , jeremy hunt in politics today, jeremy hunt has told gb news this morning he's told me that he will not be standing for the leadership of the party now. that rules him out as a moderate voice, a moderate leader. others in the same place on politics might be kemi badenoch. she's probably the favourite and tom tugendhat, he's also up there. and then on
11:09 am
the right of the party, priti patel. and suella braverman there they are thought to be standing along with robert jenrick, who's somewhere in the middle ground towards the right as well. so, there'll be a conversation amongst tory mps this weekend and i do expect some people to start declaring their hand as soon as tomorrow, their hand as soon as tomorrow, the acting first are moving first in leadership campaigns. can mean you get what's called momentum behind you. so we'll see that on play out over the next few days. >> yes, we will indeed , >> yes, we will indeed, >> yes, we will indeed, >> chopper, just a quick one. a saw, a senior tory mp, rather, sir edward lee, has urged nigel to farage join the party. the last time nigel was asked this question, he said god, no, they're ghastly, ghastly people. all of them. even the likes of priti patel and suella braverman. is that a rather unprecedented for such a senior tory to be publicly making that call ? call? >> and mr edward lee has a position now in parliament. he's the longest serving mp elected, so he's now called the father of
11:10 am
the house of commons. so he does deserves respect from across the house of commons. i don't think what he said there is mainstream tory party opinion , given that tory party opinion, given that nigel farage wants to destroy the tory party, and i was always struck by the fact that when i asked rishi. rishi, i was struck by the fact by rishi sunak when i asked him in october at the party conference last year, then again on a flight to, the cop summit in egypt, do you really want nigel farage to be a member of your party? and he said twice. we are a broad church now. he didn't mean we're an itv murder mystery drama. what he meant was we would accept nigel farage as being a member of this party. and i think that's puzzling, because i think that nigel farage feels let down by the tory party. he feels it wasn't tory enough for him and in fact, his, his, manifesto, his contract with britain was like a tory manifesto on steroids. he took every idea possible that the tories wanted to do and said they would deliver it. he's after their vote, but i don't think farage
11:11 am
himself wants to join the party just yet. >> okay, our political editor, christopher hope , live in christopher hope, live in downing street. thanks very much. i guess it's argued the tories being such a broad church, that was their problem in the end, wasn't it? that was their demise. i mean, for packed to the rafters with lib dems, some would argue, and there's absolutely no agreement within the party over where things went wrong. >> now , some believe the >> now, some believe the conservatives need to go more centre ground, more liberal, more progressive , others want to more progressive, others want to go more in the reformed direction. i think it's going to be a bit of bitter infighting. >> the post—mortem, new leadership, the post—mortem off the back of this election will be interesting to say. as you said, they're still fighting some tories saying don't lurch to the right. i'm warning you, you don't win elections from the right. others saying, guys, we need to become conservative. we are the conservative. >> miriam cates was saying that, today or yesterday on the airwaves. she was saying that that very thing more conservative. yeah, but let's have a look at some of the other top stories of today. we're delighted to be joined again by political commentator joana jaflue political commentator joana jarjue and comedian bruce devlin .
11:12 am
jarjue and comedian bruce devlin. bruce, i'll start with you, want to turn to this telegraph front page, joe biden's had a rather embarrassing gaffe . embarrassing gaffe. >> yeah, another one, where he, is basically alluding to the fact that he , i think we've got fact that he, i think we've got a clip, actually. >> sorry to interject. can we play >> sorry to interject. can we play the clip and then we'll discuss it? i'll have a look. >> by the way, i'm proud to be, as i said, the first vice president, first black woman served with a black president . served with a black president. >> so i believe that he now feels he's identifying as kamala, for whatever reason, >> it was funny because i was reading up on about it and the debate you had with trump, he was annihilated for and all his team said, but he's great during the day. could we not just do all these things during the day, which would take away from international timelines and stuff like that? but i think i think he's just again, a wee bit confused. >> but he insists in this big interview last night, which aired in the us, he insists he's not standing down. he's not
11:13 am
going anywhere. no. >> yeah, he's really digging his heels in. and, i've been somebody who has defended joe biden in the past and said, let's not be ageist, let's give him a chance. and that was when, you know, really trivial things were happening. like he was tripping up the steps, going up air force one, and it wasn't really anything major. but obviously we have seen more of a decline. and that debate, i think, was just the nail in the coffin for joe think, was just the nail in the coffin forjoe biden. but i really do think it's a little bit unfair this time, because i think it just tripped over his words and it wasn't something that was that big. i think he was basically saying that he was proud of the fact that he's transitioned from being vp for obama, and then he's actually transitioned into a black woman. he's transitioned into me, no. and then obviously, you're saying that, he also has a vp who is a black woman , and he who is a black woman, and he just basically missed out maybe 4 or 5 words. yeah. which is quite significant, actually, in a whole sentence. >> what embarrassment. well, the other the other end of the age spectrum here in the united kingdom, we now have a 22 year old labour mp , bruce. we do get
11:14 am
old labour mp, bruce. we do get a picture up, i think. >> yeah. where is he ? >> yeah. where is he? >> yeah. where is he? >> oh, we'll find that picture. so he is, yeah. 22 years old. he's labour's sam carling and he's quote the baby of the house. it's an unofficial title given to the youngest member. there he is. it looks like a nice guy. yeah. come on bruce at 22. but what do you know about not. >> he's not been the youngest because in 2015, the snp had marty black who was just coming up for 21, who's gone now. >> she was she she stepped down. but look at 22. you don't know. you know you don't know anything. you're left from your right. >> surely you know some stuff. i'm not saying you know everything. >> you know where the nightclubs are, what time the pub opens . are, what time the pub opens. >> does he look like a nightclub at a pancake? yeah. >> i could hardly see him out until six in the morning. no, i think he's a good boy. i think he loves his mum. i think he likes his sunday dinner. and i think he'll be nice to his constituents. now joanna, you're going to be, you're going to be welcoming of this because he's laboun >> but come on, 22 years old. >> but come on, 22 years old. >> i mean, not just because he's laboun >> i mean, not just because he's labour. i think actually the snp
11:15 am
case, which was even younger. yeah, she was a brilliant mp and she turned out to be quite good. and maybe he's so frustrated about his prospects in this country, the fact that he might not be able to get a house, he's actually wanting to get into politics and, you know, make sure that keir starmer turns that around with the housebuilding plans. >> but i grew up, you know, learning that you learn from the wisdom of older people and that you have to collect life experience before you try telling people to how live. >> and you own your own path, your own mistakes. yeah. you've trodden a certain path. you've succeeded, you've failed, you've learned from it, and then you grow. but as i said, i mean, look, maybe i'm being really mean, but at 22, i knew nothing. i'm 34. i still pretty much know nothing a lot of people would say, a lot of you on gbnews.com/yoursay there's people that have been in the house of commons that have been there for years and are still incompetent at their job, and incompetent at theirjob, and i think that in terms of actually doing the job, maybe he'll do well. >> i think where he'll struggle and where i actually agree with you is that in his own constituency, where he's got his, mps kind of office hours and he's got cases of real life
11:16 am
situations that are quite sensitive. if he'll be able to resonate with every single situation, because obviously i'll have case workers within his mps office, but then certain things will have to get escalated and you have to speak to people directly. >> i've worked in an mps office experience before and, there's a lot to juggle. there's a lot to juggle. i'm not sure. at 22 years old, you're going to be able to deal with all of the problems that come to your door. >> i've been in an mp's office, but for not work purposes. right? oh, right . right? oh, right. >> let's move on to probably william after the watershed. let's move to on robbie williams. bruce, are you a fan? what's he doing , what's he doing, >> he is still, ehm. well he's still performing, isn't he? he is. where is he performing? >> hyde park, i believe. >> hyde park, i believe. >> hyde park, i believe. >> hyde park. well, so is kylie tomorrow? no, kylie next week. so but robbie williams, after all this time, three decades or something with. take that. he is still, stoke's megastar for the best gig i've ever been to is, take that at wembley in 2011. >> can't remember the name of
11:17 am
the tour, but robbie came out for a surprise performance halfway through and it was great. i was buzzing, it was amazing. top performance. >> he's a great performer, isn't he? >> he's our greatest export. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> do you think robbie greatest export. one of one of. not just when you said greatest export. that's fine. >> that would. >> that would. >> i don't think that would since the steam train. >> yeah, >> yeah, >> the. yes a 75 million global global record sales he's had, which is quite something. an absolute icon of music. i guess you could say, this prince of wales in the sun on the page 21. prince william cien zooming inside windsor castle on an electric scooter. >> we've got the footage. let's have a look. although when i watched it, his positioning , he watched it, his positioning, he didn't. he didn't look very agile. oh, there he is, too far back.look agile. oh, there he is, too far back. look he's kind of leaning in a little bit weird , but, in a little bit weird, but, yeah, props to him zooming around his own castle. at least he didn't fall off like humza yousaf did. >> do you remember that? >> do you remember that? >> yeah, he looks a bit awkward, though. there's something a bit unnatural. it almost gives me,
11:18 am
like, the dad trying to be cool, and he almost comes across a bit older than what? he isn't actually obviously old, you know, like what? he's early 40s or something like that. but he really looks as if maybe he could be on the verge, maybe of a midlife crisis. i want to say maybe this is his version of getting a ferrari. seeing as he's been in bentleys and rolls—royces all his life. so this is his version of he has got a lot on his plates, bruce. >> so we can forgive him for not looking. so, you know, agile? no, i understand, i just don't no, i understand, ijust don't know why he's using a scooter. >> i didn't think that he had to go anywhere. could you not just send people out to get what he needs? >>i needs? >> i think he's quite a cool prince. yeah, i think he goes out to his local beach at norfolk with the kids and gets on the bike and, you know, okay, he doesn't look so sporty on that scooter. no he doesn't. he look a bit strange. >> but yeah, it did look like he was clinging on for dear life, didn't it? it did. what should we do? one more story, let's do the. no. >> you choose. okay. what about. i love sport, so emma raducanu
11:19 am
the british. i think she's number two now. she's into the fourth round at wimbledon, and i have been her biggest critic over recent years. i've said, stop doing these vogue shoots, stop doing these vogue shoots, stop doing these brand deals with all the money. just focus on your tennis. she's had a horrible couple of years, guys, but she's now seemingly back in form and i'm here for it, >> but then serena williams had built a brilliant career and done major endorsements. >> yeah, only after winning maybe ten grand slams or whatever. it is not just not just winning one us open title, then focusing on the money. >> very judgemental. >> very judgemental. >> yeah. ben, you're so judgemental . judgemental. >> joanna, i know you get paid for. >> you know what? he's going to say that and then by next year we're going to see him doing hashtag ad on instagram, hashtag sponsored. and then you'll be going after all the brand deals. and no, but i do kind of agree with you that maybe it was a bit premature in her career to kind of focus on emma raducanu the brand, given how actually young she is. she's got her entire career to build that, and the best way really to build a brand is to be the best. and at the top of your game, at your actual
11:20 am
sport of what you know, you're actually famous for, rather than the vogue shoots and everything. and the only reason i was it wasn't just me, by the way. >> it was no loads of people. the only reason we were so critical is because we can see her talent. she once we cared. it's because i care. i care for you, emma. but look, i'm glad she's now doing the business into the fourth round. and. yeah, fingers crossed for maybe a first female women's title for a first female women's title for a brit in many, many years. >> that would be fantastic. well, thank you for now, joanna. and bruce. still to come, we'll be continuing our breakdown of the results of the general election with some political pundits. >> yes, but still to come, how do you take your kids away from the kids menu? the fish fingers, the kids menu? the fish fingers, the chips, the beans. and when's it time to give them some culinary education? this is saturday morning live on gb news.
11:21 am
11:22 am
11:23 am
us. >> well, a big welcome back. don't forget to keep sending me and ben questions about the topics in the news this week. and we'll chat through them with
11:24 am
our panel. somebody asked. >> apparently, somebody asked how old i was. they said, i think he was at sue. >> it's all about you, ben. >> it's all about you, ben. >> sue said. it is. sue said, i think you're 28. they're saying, well, said emily in my ear, leave off, sue said, you're 28 and the husband reckons i'm 34. >> do you know he said 36. >> do you know he said 36. >> 36? yeah. >> 36? yeah. >> i'm 30, aged, you know. >> i'm 30, aged, you know. >> enough about me. good point. >> enough about me. good point. >> i'm obviously much younger than ben, much younger. anyway, welcome back to saturday morning live. the first cabinet meeting is well underway as our new prime minister begins to put in place his agenda for the next five years. >> yes, the newly appointed ministers, who are taking over from the tories will be busy from the tories will be busy from the tories will be busy from the get go. but what do we think the uk will look like under a labour leadership? that's a loaded question. >> we were saying yesterday. a red dawn has broken on the united kingdom . yes, we're united kingdom. yes, we're joined by political commentator joana jarjue journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth and former conservative special adviser charlie rowley. well charlie, obviously this is probably a bit gutting for you. the fact that labour have this
11:25 am
big majority to play with. do you think we know everything that's going to happen? >> no, we don't , and that's >> no, we don't, and that's what's terrifying, because the pubuc what's terrifying, because the public didn't come out in their droves to vote for the labour party. let's be absolutely clear about that. the vote share was low. the turnout was appallingly low. the turnout was appallingly low. even jeremy corbyn got more votes than this lot. so and the idea. look, labour haven't won the election. the tories have lost it. you know, it was a cataclysmic disaster after years of a couple of years of political turmoil, chopping and changing of the leader , leader, changing of the leader, leader, leaders, division within the party, it's not been good. but nobody really, if you talk to anybody on the streets, knew what sir keir starmer is going to do. he's talked about smashing the gangs when it comes to immigration. okay. but what does that entail? he's talked about scrapping rwanda . okay. so about scrapping rwanda. okay. so what's the replacement? we just have absolutely. and freezing taxes, certain taxes. but he's not ruled out putting other taxes up. the country has walked in to a new government this morning meeting for the first time around that cabinet table with absolutely no idea about
11:26 am
what direction this country is going to go in. and that is , i'm going to go in. and that is, i'm afraid, quite alarming. >> johanna, how long is the honeymoon period going to last? how long do we you know, how long, how much grace do we give this lot before we start needing results? >> well, i think that we should give them quite a lot of grace, actually, to say that the conservatives have been given 14 years of grace after messing up years of grace after messing up year after year, prime minister after prime minister. so i think for these guys in that time, well, i think with, you know, with these guys, they've got basically clean up operation at this point, you know, they have to clean up before they even can show the results. >> absolutely. excuses from sir keir starmer saying we can't quite solve this because the tories did this or you know, it wasn't as bad as i realised. it's going to take a bit more time. >> no, i think that there'll be things that they'll be able to do immediately, but at the same time there's certain pledges for example, that they've had to immediately, well, not hike taxes, but there are certain things that they have been quite clear about. you know, we say that everything is kind of ambiguous. we don't really know what they're going to do, but they've been really clear about, cracking down on tax evasion, on
11:27 am
the non—dom tax status, vat on schools, all of this to raise money, but also they just won't be able to do things for 16 year olds to. >> yes, it turns out they all like reform apparently. >> yeah, i think i mean, there aren't going to be fast results because the problems are so profound and so deep . and i profound and so deep. and i think although keir starmer was criticised as being boring and not offering the sort of hope of tony blair in 97, i think it's because he knows that key to his survival is expectation management. that's why it's all been very tempered, because it's going to be probably at least two years before you see any serious change in some of the problems. >> doing the opposite to liz truss. exactly. not going. all guns blazing in 97. >> the surprise hat you know, trick out of the hat was bank of england being made independence. now, i don't think we're going to have anything that dramatic. but the suggestions from reports is that they're going to rip up the housing rules. they're going to rip up planning rules , to rip up planning rules, because that's something that was a part of the mandate they've just won. it's a massive opportunity for growth in the country. and most importantly, it doesn't cost any money because there isn't any money to
11:28 am
spend. >> charlie rowley have you spoken to your former boss michael gove in the last 24 hours? >> oh yeah. i forgot about him, i haven't no, he his response and reaction would be, well, i think he'd be as disappointed as everybody else. >> i mean, you know, he took the decision not to stand in the election. and, you know, that was for a number of reasons. i'm sure he'd been a cabinet minister for a very long time. he's been in frontline politics for a while. but, you know, surrey heath is constituency is now held by liberal democrat, just as it is in maidenhead, just as it is in maidenhead, just as it is in maidenhead, just as is in henley. boris's former seat, just as witney is david cameron. so it is a, you know, a very, very bad night to see as the next tory leader. >> you, me? >> you, me? >> yes. why not? no. come on, benji, you're here talking nonsense , talking about myself, nonsense, talking about myself, leading questions about the one thing about the tory leadership is that i think it does need some time. look, you know, rishi sunak called this election. he said he took responsibility for it, and that's absolutely right. it didn't need to be called on the 4th of july. but it was. we are where we are. the one thing that he should do is hang on as i think leader of the opposition, that's not easy to do if you've been prime minister, if you've been
11:29 am
elevated at such a week. but i think he should hold on there just for a few more weeks to get through. obviously the summer, then there should be a real contest over the summer. you can see, you know, he's got to replace wait till the conference season. wait till conference season. wait till conference season. you've got to replace, you know, we now need a shadow defence secretary because we've lost grant shapps from benjamin. >> well, it's going to be extraordinary. >> they'll have to go up at pmqs as the leader of the opposition. i mean, that is humiliating stuff. and the idea you know, i think they'd be right to wait because it's going to take time to work out the problems. but is he going to want to deliver a conference speech in september? i think that would be a pretty humiliating. >> last time it was all about maths for 18 year olds, wasn't it, thank you to our lovely panel it, thank you to our lovely panel. lots more to come on the show today. but first, let's get the news headlines with ray. >> almost exactly 1130. our top stories. the prime minister is holding the first meeting of his new cabinet this morning. sir keir starmer is expected to focus on labour's manifesto pledges, which include delivering economic stability and cutting nhs waiting times. he'll also want to prepare for a

looking forward to tonight. >> yes. what's top of the agenda? what's going on? jude bellingham, first of all. well look that's that was that was a real fillip for england yesterday. >> that's you know, he made that that lewd gesture. if you like, to the what looked like it was slovakian bench. although there was evidence he was doing the same thing. he claimed it was an in—joke, you see, with some friends and there is evidence of him doing that before. and he hadn't, he hadn't received any kind of reprimand for it. so he's he was he's received a £25,000 fine, which i'm sure he's probably got on his back. he's been fined. he's been fine. not banned, not banned. he's got a suspended ban 25 grand. yeah. >> seems a bit steep. it's what about a minute? >> work for him. >> work for him. >> yeah. you're probably so. and for you so jude. >> yeah. right. so jude. jude pays that out of his own pocket. or does. yes he does. >> well, he did it. so no, not at all. the fa can't can't pay that. no. it's the players who take responsibility for that kind of thing. but the point is he's one booking away from missing the semi, missing the semi—finals tonight. and he's probably become our most important player, even though i would argue that he's been very much performing in moments rather than consistently across the four games. but i'll tell you something, if even if we change formation tonight, if we
11:36 am
play change formation tonight, if we play anything like as conservatively as we've done in the previous four games and switzerland, you have a good goalkeeper. summer they've got a good back. three akanji, one of the manchester city players in there. jack in midfield. >> i was going to ask is jack. i'm an arsenal fan of course widely known. is jack still playing? he's still without doubt he's look he's been outstanding. >> he had a brilliant season. i thought he was pretty unlucky to leave arsenal, actually. he had a good last season there. but again they've got dangerous players and if they play the way they've been playing for the previous four games, they knocked out italy in the last round comfortably. seems like an eternity ago doesn't it? they drew with germany as well when they should have won. so if that goes to form, england are going to lose tonight. there's no question about it. so they need to do something different. this pedestrian sideways passing emily has got us absolutely nowhere. this is these these players when they're playing for their clubs, cut through that low block week in week out. they're not doing it this time. and so the performance has to change irrespective of whether they change then what are our chances? well i think i look a month ago, three weeks ago if you'd given england or southgate , you'd given england or southgate, switzerland, in the quarterfinals, they'd thought, wow, we'll have that. but it's
11:37 am
not as easy as that because things just haven't panned out that way. look england should still win tonight, but as i say, they need a massive lift in in in performance. the other thing i would say is that everyone's assuming that england can't keep playing this badly and getting away with it. they can't. they've got to raise their game at some point . well that didn't at some point. well that didn't happenin at some point. well that didn't happen in world cup 2006. it didn't happen in 2010. it's not as easy to just shift from one gear to the next, but that's exactly what they need to do. and it's a tough ask tonight. i'll tell you. >> just pull your finger out, boys. are they can i ask, are they still taking the knee? >> and no they're not. no, they've actually they've actually rowed back from the woke stuff. actually i think someone at the fa got hold of us, got hold of the players and got hold of the, the everybody else, the whole infrastructure and said this is getting ridiculous enough. this is causing more problems than it's solving. now, the thrust of it comes from the sponsors. that's where it's coming from. the nobody fa is suddenly develops a social conscience five years ago because they thought it might be. it might be a good thing. it's utter nonsense really. but if you look at the list of sponsors on the fa website, i think they've got 32 commercial partners. it's a it's a very well moneyed organisation. it makes money as well. not this,
11:38 am
you know, largely because they use wembley all the time. >> let's remember that picture of, sir keir starmer and angela rayner on taking the knee. >> yeah, i know they're now our prime minister and deputy prime minister, but but it's come from the companies. >> they all have esg funding. they all have. you know, various patrons. you have certain political beliefs. there's nobody has any understanding of politics. if i'm honest with you. and i've worked with them for many years, but they've decided to row back from it. they've i mean, i think they they didn't like the heat they got from the, from the flag on the collar. >> i mean, if you're, if you're taking the knee when you're winning, fine. that's one thing. i guess maybe fans could tolerate it, but when you're focused on that kind of wokery when you're not playing well, yes, that's another level. >> well it is, i mean, and there's enough there's enough pressure, enough paraphernalia that goes around with, with england side anyway. it's the most pressurised job in football, there's no question. well, in sport, winning the world cup or a euros with england is the big ticket. that's the big thing that's never really been done, hasn't been done since 1966. and if you do that, the rewards for the players long term, because i'm not just talking about when they're playing, but they'll get media gigs for the rest of their lives on account of being world cup winners or euro winners. and
11:39 am
geoff hurst is the only surviving player who won a world cup for england and that's how long ago it was 58 years. >> we need to get behind them, though, don't we? yeah we do have been a little cruel. >> well towards the end. yeah, but i think he's justified in lots of ways, emily. i mean they spent a lot of dough. i mean, i was going to i was, i was, i was planning on spending £1,250 on a ticket this weekend, but someone else. i thought you were going. >> well, yeah, i know i outbid because somebody bid 2500. >> it was a brilliant package. and you know, he got the guy, got his money back, so that's fine. but i mean, people are spending a lot of money over there. and by and large, they're with the team. but they want to see an improvement in performance. people go to football to get entertained and england just aren't delivering that right now. no, but they're still in it. and while you're in it, you've always got a chance. >> what else is on the sporting agenda? >> well, we've got wimbledon is absolutely magnificent because we've got some real british interest this weekend and we don't usually get that on middle saturday. middle saturday is the day for everybody to get involved in wimbledon. they sometimes reduce the prices and make it a bit more accessible for tickets and stuff like that, cam norrie was up against jack draper earlier in the week. >> battle of the brits.
11:40 am
>> battle of the brits. >> yes, exactly. he pulled off a bit of a shock, actually, because draper was in really good form and he plays at 1:30 today. he's up against alexander zverev, who has lost his last five matches against emma raducanu, is in action alongside andy murray in the mixed doubles in the mixed doubles, yeah, potentially. >> andy murray's last ever match at wimbledon. >> no it will be. yeah. if they lose. if they lose. and i would think they would because i don't think they would because i don't think emma raducanu is going to put too much effort into that because she's got a big match of her own coming up in the in the singles. she said it was a dream, didn't she? yeah. they all say it's a dream, don't they. they they kind of have to for pr reasons. it's probably a nuisance, if i'm honest with you. but, probably not much prize money, do you think. >> do you think she's probably. >> do you think she's probably. >> you don't want the schedule and the minutes are so important in sport. any sport scientists will look at a spreadsheet and say, you're in the red zone. you play say, you're in the red zone. you play too much tennis or you play too much football. you play too much rugby. you're at risk of injury if you're playing every two days and you're playing best of three sets, you're putting yourself at risk. >> it's hard to do without it. >> it's hard to do without it. >> she could do without it. yeah, i think that's exactly right. >> and also more prize money in the women's singles as opposed
11:41 am
to mixed doubles. they're probably, you know, don't get a fraction of that. well, yeah. >> why i mean, it's perfectly fair enough to play for monetary rewards. it's not it's not, it's not a bad thing. >> very briefly. 40s. to go. it's the british gp at silverstone qualifying today, the grand prix. >> yeah. qualifying. lewis hamilton's already said he wants to qualifying out of the way quickly so he can watch the football at 5:00. big interview with him today in the sun actually talking about his future with obviously going to ferrari next season. max verstappen still very much out in front, but it's a very glitzy event, you know, i just i think i was talking to someone back there backstage about who is a big f1 fan. they want to see a bit more competition next season. i don't know if hamilton can necessarily deliver that next year, but, i think you'll see it in 2026 when the regulations change and the cars change. >> yeah, i imagine there's good hospitality at the f1. >> oh, fantastic. fantastic >> oh, fantastic. fantastic >> champagne are popping. yeah. thank you. >> sound of the engines . no >> sound of the engines. no worries at all. >> good tv apparently is performing at the gp as well. >> yeah. has it been a song about it. is he. >> oh he storms, he's quite woke isn't he. >> everyone's woke. in your book you probably think i'm woke. you are quite woke. >> oh no, i am not. i've got, i've got a tweet. i've got a tweet jacket. am i woke aidan magee always great to have your

11:44 am
11:45 am
11:46 am
all right. well. welcome back. don't forget to keep sending me and ben questions about topics in
11:47 am
the news this week. we'll chat through them with our panel and guests , lots of you have been guests, lots of you have been getting in touch about angela rayner's wardrobe. you're not convinced by the green suit? >> shouldn't it have been red? for starters ? for starters? >> yes. that probably would have been fitting the red dawn. green party infiltration into downing street . street. >> it was an interesting one. lots of memes. funny memes. there it is. angela. yesterday, walking into, she was getting appointed at this point, wasn't she? into the cabinet? yeah. >> she was, she was getting her position. she will be deputy prime minister. and then today she was wearing an orange frock. so all the colours of the rainbow for angela rayner. yes. some of you saying it's ill fitted. mike saying rayner's designer green suit in black or dark colours. oh gosh. no, i can't read that out. that was a bit rude, mike there. but do you know what women do? get a lot of criticism for what they wear. men don't get even a comment. >> no, i was about to say i'm going to check out of this conversation. you're not allowed to leave it to you because he's going woke. now. angela yeah, me talking about angela rayner's dress sense probably wouldn't go down well with. >> but i must say, lots of you
11:48 am
not not convinced necessarily about the calibre of the cabinet, but i guess we wait to see what happens next. but shall we move on? >> yes. let's move on to some food. yes. normally, no one wants their child to be a fussy eater. >> but what is the secret to expanding your child's culinary honzons? >> is there a way to get kids away from the kids? menu? the fish fingers, the chips, fish fingers are bad, though, aren't they? they're not that bad, but they're just quite common. not common in the class sense, but just, you know, just a bit too. >> i used to love the easy. the chicken dippers. the turkey twizzlers. >> oh, yeah. oh, jamie oliver, have you turkey dinosaurs as well. turkey dinosaurs. joining us now is the uk's top selling author of children's cookery books, annabel karmel . good books, annabel karmel. good morning annabel. >> thank you so lovely to be here. >> so first of all, what's the issue with kids just having the traditional easy meals like fish fingers, you know, chips , beans. fingers, you know, chips, beans. >> it really depends if they've got preservatives in them. they're full of salt. so i like to make them myself. and it's really easy. so i make my own chicken glazed nuggets and super
11:49 am
easy to make using proper pieces of chicken. you can cook them in the airfryer now, which is absolutely brilliant. i need to fry them. and i think that it's really important that children grow up loving good food because they make their minds up by the age of five what they like and what they don't like. it's quite difficult to change their minds after that, but it's good to know that fussy eating is genetic. it's not to do with your cooking. oh, that's not to say that you can't do something about it. so i've written many, many books and i have an app with 1000 recipes on it. and a lot of how to make your own junk food, how to make your own ice lollies out of fresh fruit. yes, how to make your own pizzas i make the most amazing homemade pizza. i actually brought you some cookies here, so. >> oh, okay, so these are your books here. so my first cookbook. that's for how old, children. >> that's from the age of one. >> that's from the age of one. >> okay. and you've got a weaning one at the end. the baby one? yes >> that's my very first book. i lost. my first child was really sad. she died at the age of three months, and my second child was a world's worst eater. and i wrote that book as my legacy to natasha. never thinking that it would start a whole career. oh, bless you sold
11:50 am
millions of copies and it's so popular. >> got me tearing up, i yeah, i remember we've got a one and a half year old me and my wife. yes. and a four year old. and she was brilliant, doing the weaning, sort of, mixing up pureed broccoli with sweet potato, all sorts of things. is it quite pivotal and important that you introduce kids to the weaning stage, or, you know, how important it's very important because the processed weaning food in pouches or jars, it's heated. >> so a lot of the vitamins aren't there anymore. so making your own is so easy and much cheapen your own is so easy and much cheaper. but i also think, like i'm working now with p&o cruise ships, which is like amazing. my, my, my career takes me to the most fantastic places and i went to down southampton and they have 6400 people on their ships and i'm doing the kids menus there. so now we've got healthy food like teriyaki salmon and grilled steak and things like my supercharged five veggie bolognese on board their ships. and i think that when children go away on holiday, parents want them to eat healthy food. they don't want to see a menu which just has chicken nuggets and spaghetti hoops on
11:51 am
it. we care, don't we? >> it's kind of the same as if you're a vegetarian. my mum is, and whenever you go to a restaurant, it's kind of a second thought. it's like, oh, the veggie is some like phyllo pastry. same with the kids menus. it's always like, oh, sp39 menus. it's always like, oh, spag bol or some chicken nuggets. you know, i want them doughballs. yeah. >> macaroni cheese. >> macaroni cheese. >> i want them to have good food. >> so it's been amazing working with them. >> and also sorry you've baked some cookies. >> yes. so these are from my fun fast and easy children's cookbook. and they are they make ten minutes to make ten minutes in the oven. but we make them every week because they're amazing. >> have a try. >> have a try. >> this is our on their healthy ed miliband moment. emily carver are you ready to get cookie crumbs? >> i thought you might be a bit. >> i thought you might be a bit. >> at least it's not a bacon sandwich. >> i need a cup of tea with these. he's getting stuck in. >> i will have one. thank you i love these, so we keep them in our house. so what's in these? and we get anxiety if they aren't there. very nice, they're made with oats and a little bit of golden syrup, like some raisins, and nothing much in them. i mean, all very, very healthy ingredients. hardly any sugar. healthy ingredients. hardly any sugar . that healthy ingredients. hardly any sugar. that is healthy ingredients. hardly any sugar . that is actually very sugar. that is actually very delicious. and it's easy for kids to make. so i think it's really important that kids do learn to cook, because that's an
11:52 am
absolute life skill. and they all love it. and they're learning about maths and time and things like you teach them at school, but in a fun way. and they're bonding with you. so i do a lot of books like that. >> this sounds a bit strange, but they're also understanding that food just doesn't come out of a plastic pack that you picked up at the supermarket. that's very important. you know, you're understanding. we went strawberry picking the other day , strawberry picking the other day, and jude, my four year old. yeah. it's amazing. you get a punnet, you sort of traipse through the strawberry fields and you pick strawberries and put them in. of course, you know what it entails, but it's just nice to get them to know that food comes from the ground. there's effort and energy and, you know, there's a whole process going into getting that food on your plate. yes. >> and i think if you have a fussy child and you teach them to cook, they're more likely to eat something. they've had a handin eat something. they've had a hand in preparing and they get very proud. like if they take something to school in their lunchbox that other children can eat, as long as it doesn't contain nuts. obviously they like to do that too, but my whole career has been based on like obviously losing my first child changed my life, and i decided that i wanted to do something that would help children in the future. and i've written 51 books now. wow. >> it's hard to control what children eat when they're away from you, when they're at
11:53 am
school. you might give them this perfectly healthy , nutritious perfectly healthy, nutritious meal to take with them, and then it arrives home uneaten. that's right. >> i mean, i'd love to do more with school meals. so we do work with school meals. so we do work with nursery schools and design menus. and it's very important also that if children have an allergy, that the food you make for them looks like the food that all the other children are eating. so they don't want to be different. and also to do things like our best selling meal in supermarkets is a chicken tikka masala , which is quite masala, which is quite surprising for a one year old. you'd think it would be. you think it would be a cottage pie, but it's not. so actually , but it's not. so actually, children are quite sophisticated in their tastes and we don't sometimes, you know, try new things. and i think it's really important to keep trying new meals on children. just briefly about 30s left. >> any tips for parents who are trying to get their kids to have a more varied diet? i mean, what's some practical tips they can use? >> i think my app is good because it's always on your phone. so when you're in the supermarket, like if you have a six month old, you just put it in six months, chicken, broccoli and we'll come up with all the recipes and they're all very simple to make. >> what's the app called? where can they get it? >> it's called annabel karmel's
11:54 am
baby and toddler recipe app. >> perfect. >> perfect. >> very easy to remember. thank you so much annabel. really great to, to have you in the studio with us. and these books look absolutely fantastic. that's it from us today . that's it from us today. >> yes. dawn neesom next. have a good weekend . good weekend. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . solar sponsors of weather on. gb. news >> hello. welcome to your gb news. weather update from the met office this weekend is sunny spells for some of us. scattered showers around but still feeling cool. we've got low pressure generally in charge that's moving its way eastwards and northwesterly winds giving that cool feel for the time of year. so through this afternoon, any showers gradually easing later on. so turning dry across parts of england in towards the south—east but showers still continuing across parts of scotland and northern ireland before further showers come in
11:55 am
from the south—west. temperatures tonight, though under the clear, spells 10 or 11 degrees, but feeling fresher across parts of rural scotland. so to start sunday morning there will be some dry and brighter weather around, especially across eastern parts, to start the day, but further towards the southwest we've got a focus for some heavy showers moving in from the south, heavy at times with the odd rumble of thunder and coming in to north western parts of england as well. northern ireland seeing a few showers as well just into coastal areas, but across parts of scotland a little bit drier with plenty of sunshine. just some rain coming into orkney and shetland to start the day. so as we go through sunday, showers continuing but actually becoming more widespread as we go through into the afternoon. heavy at times containing the odd rumble of thunder two across scotland. dry here with some sunny spells and lighter winds. for many of us as well, so that will help with the temperatures giving a
11:56 am
slightly warmer feel. where you do catch any sunshine and across parts of scotland, temperatures recovering up around 215 degrees sunday evening. then we'll start to see showers, a fading away, turning drier with some late evening sunshine, but another area of low pressure is coming in towards the southwest. so as we go into monday, tuesday and wednesday, wednesday generally unsettled but temperatures may be recovering just slightly. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather on
