defeat in over 100 biggest defeat in over 100 years, and where they go from here is a deal with nigel farage already in the works in the big story. should the conservatives and reform uk merge, i'll be asking former conservative government minister edwina currie . and in my take at ten, currie. and in my take at ten, my verdict on the victorious sir keir starmer, i'll be sharing my hopes and concerns about our new prime minister. in two hours of big opinion, big debate and big entertainment, what went wrong for the tories.7 that is straight after the news headlines and tatiana sanchez. >> mark, thank you and good evening. the top stories england are through to the euro 2024 semi—finals after beating switzerland on penalties .

switzerland on penalties. and that was the reaction from ecstatic england fans at a fan zone at boxpark in wembley. the game ended one all after extra time , with both sides unable to time, with both sides unable to break the deadlock . bukayo saka break the deadlock. bukayo saka scored on the 80th minute to level it one one though, and the prince of wales was among football fans rejoicing as the three lions won tonight, calling the game nail biting to the very end in a post on social media. well after the game, bukayo saka spoke to reporters myself. >> i believe, you know we have some of the best takers in the premier league and in the world. so, you know, we've talked talked about it before. you know, if it did come to penalties, we would be pretty confident. and yeah, i'm happy we showed that today. we scored five out of five and we're through to the next round. >> in other news, sir keir starmer says rishi sunak's plans to send migrants to rwanda is now dead and buried. speaking after the first meeting of his

new cabinet, the prime minister ruled out the controversial scheme, which had failed to deport a single migrant. he also said labour's election victory has given them a clear mandate to govern in all four corners of the united kingdom. >> look, the rwanda scheme was dead and buried before it started. it's never been a deterrent, look at the numbers that have come over in the first six and a bit months of this yeah six and a bit months of this year. they are record numbers . year. they are record numbers. thatis year. they are record numbers. that is the problem that we are inheriting. it has never acted as a deterrent. almost the opposite , because everybody has opposite, because everybody has worked out, particularly the gangs that run this, that the chance of ever going to rwanda was so slim, less than 1. >> the leader of reform uk, nigel farage, has reacted by claiming labour will struggle to deal with the issue of illegal immigration. >> what he said he would do it. at least he's kept a promise, i suppose. look, rwanda was never going to work. what keir starmer is proposing , which is, you

is proposing, which is, you know, tackle the gangs well , know, tackle the gangs well, frankly, you know, the last government were doing that for the last few years. it's not going to work at the minute . going to work at the minute. it's wild and windy, but we do have some pretty strong first hand accounts that as soon as we get a calm spell, they'll be crossing the english channel in their thousands. and let's face it, keir starmer does not have a plan to deal with it. >> former chancellor jeremy hunt >> former chancellorjeremy hunt has ruled himself out of standing for the tory leadership. when asked , he told leadership. when asked, he told gb news that the time has passed. he managed to hold on to his seat, godalming and ash and has previously tried twice to become conservative leader . become conservative leader. meanwhile, suella braverman has failed to rule herself out, simply saying there were no announcements and the princess of wales has paid tribute to andy murray, saying he should be so very proud after he missed out on a final match at wimbledon. the former world number one, murray's wimbledon career now is over after emma

raducanu pulled out of their mixed doubles clash with stiffness in her wrist. the 37 year old scot made his final appearance at the all england club on thursday when he lost alongside older brother jamie in the men's doubles. he'll head off on a family holiday now before preparing for the final event of his tennis career at the olympics in paris. event of his tennis career at the olympics in paris . and those the olympics in paris. and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. more in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . slash alerts. >> thanks, tatiana. great job. welcome to a busy mark dolan tonight in the big story. should the conservatives and reform uk merge? i'll be asking former conservative government minister edwina currie. also, will our new prime minister fix lawless

britain? i'll be asking my mark meets guest, a former cop of 25 years who risked his own life as an undercover gang member. he'll be sharing his incredible story about penetrating the dark criminal underworld before the end of the hour. and in my take at ten, my verdict on the victorious sir keir starmer. i'll be sharing my hopes and profound fears about our new prime minister reacting to the big stories of the day, we have legendary fleet street journalist nina meshkov, historian and politics guru david oldroyd, and in a few minutes time, suella curci. at the moment, there's an empty space on the chair. she's stuck on a train . that's a photograph on a train. that's a photograph of our lovely pundit. but don't worry , those trains are going to worry, those trains are going to improve under labour. they're taking them into public hands. plus, the most important part of the show . your messages, they the show. your messages, they come straight to my laptop . come straight to my laptop. gbnews.com/yoursay. and this show has a golden rule,

especially in the course of a five year labour government. we don't do boring. not on my watch. i just won't have it. plus, by the way, we're reacting to england's fantastic win against switzerland. we did a job on them. we won on penalties and we'll get reaction later in the show . it's official folks, the show. it's official folks, it's coming home. two hours of big debate, big opinion and lots to get through. we start with this . well fancy that. the polls this. well fancy that. the polls were right in my take at ten. i'll be giving my first on air reaction to labour's victory and focusing on our new prime minister, sir keir starmer. that is, at 10:00, you won't want to miss it. but for now, let's look at the debacle that is the conservative party, with the word conservative being the most egregious assault on the trade descriptions act we've ever seen. in many ways, the truly

catastrophic conservative campaign , which started with campaign, which started with a rain soaked rishi sunak drowned out by the new labour anthem things can only get better , was things can only get better, was proof, if you needed it, that this was a party in disarray and running out of steam. former cabinet ministers like suella braverman conceding defeat before the vote even happened. war veterans insulted when sunak absconded early from the d—day celebrations. he was in a hurry then, but now he's got all the time in the world. tory mps started betting on their own demise. it was a disaster from start to finish. if politics is about messaging, then the message from the conservatives was don't vote for us. ultimately, it's their record in office that did for them in this race. it started a long time ago with theresa may, then home secretary under david cameron,

saying that they would get immigration down to the tens of thousands. voters were ignored. and last year the figure for legal net migration was 700,000. thatis legal net migration was 700,000. that is a city the size of leeds in a year. borisjohnson that is a city the size of leeds in a year. boris johnson had an extraordinary mandate in 2019 and to be fair to him, he got brexit across the line, which was a huge achievement and he kept jeremy corbyn out of number 10, for which history will judge him kindly. but just about everything else we've seen over the last 14 years, those failed and ruinous lockdowns, mask mandates and vaccine tyranny, sky high taxes , soaring debt, an sky high taxes, soaring debt, an ever expanding state wokery in our public institutions, raging inflation, a depleted military, all of those things might easily have happened under self—declared socialist sir keir

starmer, which is why it's no surprise that the millions of people who lent their vote to the conservatives in 2019 because they wanted conservatism, chose to take it back last thursday with interest. after all, if you went to a pizza restaurant and were served chicken tikka masala, you'd be entitled to complain too. well, the chickens have come to home roost. the public have told the tories that their foul and that they can cluck off. now, despite my misgivings about the party itself and in particular that three year experiment in communism during covid, in which we paid people who were perfectly healthy to stay at home, i have always admired rishi sunak in his short 18 months in charge, he unlocked brexit with the windsor agreement, which won the blessing of the dup and restored power sharing in northern ireland. he faced down the striking unions, defeated inflation and took a more measured approach to net zero.

sunak has left the uk with low unemployment, record investment, a robust manufacturing sector which is now number eight in the world, having just leapfrogged france. we've gone from number seven in the world to number four for exports globally, and we currently enjoy the highest growth in the g7. even beating america. plus, sunak got the rwanda plan through parliament, which was the only serious measure to stop the boats and which the irish government have already said is working. now, as you've just heard in the bulletin from tatiana, after just minutes in office, starmer has scrapped the rwanda plan. the criminal gangs will be celebrating this weekend. things can only get better for them. so whilst i backed sunak as the best ceo of the country against starmer, his solid tenure has been too little, too late. at the fag end of 14 years of patchy tory rule. ultimately, by

consistently ignoring their own voters, the tories have gone from being the natural party of government to the natural party of opposition . it's a cruel of opposition. it's a cruel irony that the 4 million people who voted reform uk because of unchecked immigration, sky high taxes and tedious political correctness have brought about a labour government with a huge majority who will, i assume, do all of those things that they don't like times 100. democracy is a funny old thing, but this is a funny old thing, but this is now an existential moment for the most successful political party in the history of western democracy. the party of robert peel democracy. the party of robert peel, winston churchill and margaret thatcher. because breathing down their neck is the charismatic nigel farage, whose superpower isn't in fact oratory or soundbites. but his willingness to listen to and address the concerns of millions of ordinary brits , with labour

of ordinary brits, with labour hoping to gerrymander the next election with votes for 16 year olds and even potentially eu citizens, the tories recovering ground in five years time will not be enough , but the combined not be enough, but the combined vote share of the conservatives and reform is higher than that enjoyed by labour this week. do the math. the conservatives must be conservative again. potentially helped on that journey by reform uk and despite of his hatred of the tories, it's in nigel farage's best interests. if he wants to avoid a decade of labour in power to work with whoever leads the tories . the bottom line is that tories. the bottom line is that the right must unite or die . the right must unite or die. they hate each other. nigel hates the tories . many of them

hates the tories. many of them can't stand him. then you've got the one nation tories who are more left wing than liberal democrats. it's a right royal mess, but the right have to unite or they will die. your thoughts gbnews.com/yoursay. i'll get to your messages shortly. but first, tonight's top pundits and in the studio with me, legendary fleet street journalist nina myskow and historian and politics guru. the one and only david oldroyd. bolt lovely to see both of you. comedian sajeela khurshid is on her way. she sat on a train . her way. she sat on a train. that's all going to be fixed under labour, isn't it? nina myskow. well, hopefully. yes, that's right, they're taking taking the trains back into pubuc taking the trains back into public hands as soon as possible. >> well, look at the disaster that the trains are now. look at.look that the trains are now. look at. look at the west coast line . at. look at the west coast line. dreadful. all the shareholders making, you know, bucket loads of money and you can't get a train for love and money to arrive on time or go where you want it to. >> well, i've got no doubt we'll debate that later in the show, especially when sajeela arrives. but let me get your reaction to

my big opinion. it strikes me that the conservatives lost because they're not conservative anymore . anymore. >> no, the conservatives lost because we've had 14 years of absolute chaos , you know, sunak, absolute chaos, you know, sunak, i admired him at the end because he actually in his, in his resignation, tendered his apology and he was very gracious about keir starmer and he apologised personally. he's the only one who has apologised. and in fact , he's apologising for in fact, he's apologising for his predecessor's mess more than his predecessor's mess more than his own, quite frankly. i mean, i know he screwed up with with the election. i mean, and i am no sunak fan and i'm very glad to see the back of the tories and, and the back of sunak. but you know, you mentioned declaring, you know, the election in pouring rain. i mean you look out of the window and you look out of the window and you say, you know, if wet in village hall or you take an umbrella, i mean, it's no good. his, his, his wife standing there , on thursday with an there, on thursday with an umbrella at the ready. too little, too late, you know, as he as he was, as he was giving his farewell speech and the

business with the d—day veterans was absolutely , you know, was absolutely, you know, inconceivable to me how he could screw up in that way. so but we you know, he's apologising for boris, he's apologising for liz truss. these two people have caused so much havoc to our country. made us a laugh. you should thank boris though for getting brexit across the line, ending the deadlock and for keeping jeremy corbyn out of number 10. anybody would have kept jeremy corbyn out of ten. i mean out of number 10, because people could look at that and say, look, elections are not won from the extremity. they're won from the extremity. they're won from the extremity. they're won from the centre ground. and corbyn was an extremity. and you're saying that the right must, must, must come together. you, the tories, will not win from the right . from the right. >> what do you think about that? do you think the tories should head left or right politically? david? >> i think for the time being the tories should go nowhere except back to their houses to think about what they've done. i've never shared your high opinion of mr sunak as a politician because i think he's

an incompetent politician. i think he's probably a perfectly decent man. i don't know him, but his gracious, noble and rather muted speech gives one to believe that he would. >> you have him as a good prime minister but a bad campaigner? because that's how i'd frame it. i'm not sure i would, because i think a good prime minister wouldn't have led his party to the greatest defeat in its history. >> i don't think a good prime minister would have been so deaf to the public mood as to leave the d—day celebrations earlier. i don't think a good prime minister would have called an election at an unnecessarily early date , alienating many of early date, alienating many of his mps who'd made plans for the summer and thereby leading them into a really lacklustre campaign. so, as i say, i think he was a rather incompetent politician. as to whether or not the tories win from the right or the tories win from the right or the left, well, mrs. thatcher's victories were all won from a very coherent point of putting clear blue water between her and her opponents. when the conservatives won large victories in the 1950s, it was because they put themselves at a very clear, distinct, ideological and principled difference from the labour party at the time, though, there were

similarities. and you mentioned robert peel. robert peel created the conservative party by setting himself at a very clear and distinct what was then considered a right wing position of free trade and free grain . of free trade and free grain. free trade in grain, sorry, under the corn laws. so actually history suggests that the conservative party does win its greatest victories when it does so from a conservative point of view. >> and interesting. you used that word principle. margaret thatcher principles, and the people that have ruled us in the last few years seem to have no principles, no integrity and no care for what the people really want. >> well, they were largely continuing the programme of blair and brown's governments under a vaguely blue guise. >> well , you under a vaguely blue guise. >> well, you can't i mean that blair and brown , that's a very blair and brown, that's a very long time ago. you know, they have made their entire path themselves. and you cannot you cannot somehow blame blair. oh, i'm not blaming them. >> well, i would argue i would argue that the first coalition government under david cameron handled the massive economic crisis and fixed the damage caused by gordon brown when he was prime minister >> and we're still feeling the

effects of austerity. it's damaged the country so badly. >> okay , well, what next for the >> okay, well, what next for the tories coming up in the big stories? should the conservatives and reform uk merge? i'll be asking former conservative government minister edwina currie

next. big reaction to my big opinion. following a rout on thursday, the right must unite or die. big reaction on the message board. gbnews.com. forward slash yoursay. sally who is a gb news member, has just messaged me and she said , mark, thousands of she said, mark, thousands of former conservative voters who have now joined reform uk were betrayed by the former government because they did not promote conservative values reform uk members no longer trust the tory party to be

conservative. the tory party stands for only one thing, says stuart themselves. cassandra. cassandra says mark sunak is probably a decent human being, but has no political acumen. ben speculates. how long will starmer last? could he beat liz truss? and last but not least, for now, this is deborah, who's also a gb news member. good afternoon. good evening deborah. how are you? mark dolan's big opinion suggests a merger of the rights, not a takeover of woke. blair writes in the tory party farage should select real tories and woo them into reform, leaving the rest to wither away . leaving the rest to wither away. the tory party fortunes do not matter to us. the experience of knowledgeable true tories will add to reforms, fighting equipment. so there you go . equipment. so there you go. opinions are coming in thick and fast, but let's now get some rather expert input on this. but it is time for the big story. and boris johnson has warned the conservatives not to merge with reform uk as he laid out his

vision for how they can revive their electoral fortunes. he urged the tories survivors , who urged the tories survivors, who now form the opposition, not to absorb other parties in a bid to rebuild . writing in today's rebuild. writing in today's daily mail, he wrote i say to my fellow conservatives, we are the oldest, most successful political party in british history . we are capable of history. we are capable of endless regeneration. we don't need to try to absorb other parties, to try to acquire their vitality, like a transfusion of monkey glands, bit of vintage bofis monkey glands, bit of vintage boris johnson there, but with reform uk potentially having depnved reform uk potentially having deprived the tories of dozens of seats on thursday, should a conversation be had, let's get the views of former conservative government minister edwina currie. edwina, good to see you and happy new government day. now, edwina, let's do the maths. the conservatives need those reform votes. some kind of deal is inevitable, isn't it? >> well . good evening, mark is inevitable, isn't it? >> well. good evening, mark and everyone you find me in an

unusually upbeat, frame of mind and half a bottle of champagne down because england are through to the semi—finals, which is absolutely super. and i think that'll do a lot for raising morale in the country. well, it's because we've got a labour government. >> the country is starting to deliver at last. >> it could be something like that, although it was a bit of a sort of hare squeak through on penalties. but still it was really, really good. i'm really thrilled it was. and, we managed to get a smile out of gareth southgate. how about that? well that's it now , edwina, i know that's it now, edwina, i know you're drunk and you probably forgotten the question, but don't you think a deal between nigel farage and the next leader of the tory party is inevitable ? of the tory party is inevitable? no, i don't, absolutely not. apart from anything else. because farage does not take prisoners lightly, and he would not tolerate any kind of equal, leadership and he would want to be in charge. and he's a one trick pony. i mean, his only issue is all about immigration, which has not been carefully

examined at all during this election. and indeed , let's election. and indeed, let's remind ourselves that, oh my goodness, you know, he's married to a german and his girlfriend is french. so if we're worried about people coming in from wicked foreign countries, maybe we should start with his, his personal background , which i personal background, which i wouldn't, because i don't believe in that kind of discrimination, as you well know. no, it seems to me that what we ought to do as a conservative party and boris is quite right . and the same point quite right. and the same point has been made by william hague and by eric pickles. we've been around for a very, very long time . we must be one of the time. we must be one of the oldest political parties in in the world, about 200 years since we really got established and dunng we really got established and during that time, what we've doneis during that time, what we've done is we've had a look around, particularly any time we get defeated, we have a good look round. we try and figure out why we lost. we try and be honest about it to at least to ourselves, and then we try to take that on board. and we lost because we were an absolute

shower . we because we were an absolute shower. we did because we were an absolute shower . we did not lose because shower. we did not lose because we were too left wing. we lost because we were incompetent , because we were incompetent, incapable and in the end immoral. given the kind of behaviour that we've seen over several years in downing street. and that is why there are calls which i echo for us in future to behave. you know, according to nolan , know, according to nolan, principles of public service and to put public service first, and certainly not to be betting on the outcome, and the, the date of an election when you have insider knowledge. that's wicked. it's actually a criminal act, but it's also wicked. and it's exactly the sort of thing that has conservatives staying at home, where i live here in the high court and the president of high peak, we ended up with 10,000 fewer people voting, 10,000 fewer people voting, 10,000 fewer. and guess what? our vote was actually 10,000 down. labour vote was down as well. but that meant that we converted a tory seat into a labour seat with no problems at

all for anybody else, and that means that not a lot of people looked at us and didn't want to vote for us, looked at the other side, said, no, we were not socialists. we don't believe in what keir starmer has been saying. don't like the reform. we're just going to sit at home on our hands. we have to win those people back. and you only do it by recognising what they're concerned about and trying to convince them that you can do a much betterjob in future. >> well, edwina , i think you've >> well, edwina, i think you've hired far too much of that moet and chandon tonight because the bottom line is that tory voters did go out and vote, and they voted for reform uk. my message board on my laptop is heaving with viewers and listeners who have said the tories are not conservative anymore, which is why we chose farage. now, you said that the conservatives haven't been rejected because they're too left wing. well, look at the situation in the country. this is a conservative party that is not policing our borders. they have summarily failed to stop the boats legal

net migration, 700,000 in a year when they said they'd get it down to the tens of thousands. taxes at a seven decade high doesn't sound very conservative to me . to me. >> some of those are matters that were beyond our control. for example, one of the reasons taxes are so high is that we did very generous schemes of furlough and business support dunng furlough and business support during lockdown. and, you know, we didn't ask for that money to be paid back. and many of those voters were more than happy to accept furlough money or to accept furlough money or to accept money to keep their businesses going. but it ends up going on the on the national debt. and in order to get that debt. and in order to get that debt into some kind of reasonable relationship with the with the size of the economy, as margaret thatcher would have insisted, you have to be paying the taxes in order to do that. but actually labour didn't win because people wanted us to be more right wing. labour won because they occupied the centre ground and they occupied the

centre ground . that in many ways centre ground. that in many ways we were vacating. we raised the issue of immigration. we actually raised the issue of illegal immigration when rishi promised to stop the boats, which is singly failed to do . in which is singly failed to do. in fact, one of the reasons, i suspect, why he called the election early and wrong footed everybody was because if the weather is good during the summer, you get an awful lot more boats, but it would have been a good idea if perhaps he had prepared everyone a little better for doing it early, because that's been an absolute disaster. so that kind of incompetence reflects the kind of incompetence, i think, that we have seen over a number of years. and the electorate simply wanted to punish us, and they did not move to the right to do that. they moved to the left. they moved to the left of centre. >> i wonder about that. i wonder about that because the popular vote was certainly pretty meagre for keir starmer this time round. i think he he enjoyed 3 million fewer votes than jeremy

corbyn did in 2017. and the bottom line, edwina, is that 4 million people voted for reform uk on thursday. the vast majority would be, on paper, conservative voters. so why did they choose reform and not the conservatives? if the conservatives? if the conservatives don't have a problem with their political compass ? compass? >> well, i think at least some of those reform voters were former labour voters , and they former labour voters, and they found in reform the reaction to immigration that they wanted, which they didn't get from the labour party. and indeed, it, it pleases me somewhat to think that the problem of immigration, whether legal or illegal, is now firmly in keir starmer's lap. let's see how he gets on with it. it's not that to easy resolve when we both need, more willing workers for health care and everything else. and we have probably 5 million people who are at home of working age and we need to get them back to work, but also, you and i can be

honest about that . you know, you honest about that. you know, you come from an irish background. i come from an irish background. i come from an ashkenazi jewish background. there's still that latent hostility to people coming in amongst some of the population. my feeling is it's a good thing that it's not that many that actually this is a very, very good country to live in. and for the conservative party to shift to the right would be a huge mistake. edwina. >> edwina. we're a very , if you >> edwina. we're a very, if you like, doing a corbyn. >> and do you remember what happened? corbyn lost. corbyn had one of the worst results everin had one of the worst results ever in labour history. and if we go to the right and start playing games and cuddling up to nigel farage, god help us, i think we would find that the next result would be even worse. >> just just briefly, i mean, you're characterising those who voted reform uk as as horrible xenophobes. they just don't want 700,000 people to enter the country every year. that is a city the size of leeds. that's not going to help you get a roof

over your head. a gp appointment or a school place. is it? i think that's really unfair. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and i do think that's the point. >> absolutely. and why haven't the tories addressed that? >> it's all happened on their watch. mass unchecked migration. and that doesn't make them little mini enoch powells does it. >> well i worry about it actually is it wasn't mass unchecked. it was mass checked. it was all on visas. yeah and you can put that very firmly at the feet of boris johnson, bless him . libertarian. we need these him. libertarian. we need these people. let them come in, people came in and brought their grannies and everybody else and it's not what any other country would do. you try being an immigrant into the united states, for example. good luck . states, for example. good luck. you find it an awful lot harder. so that's got to be cracked down on. that's not an argument for the conservatives. now in opposition for a number of years, as we are likely to be to start shifting to the right exactly the opposite. >> edwina, a delight, as always. go and get another glass of that bubbly. you've earned it. my

thanks to former government minister, best selling author and radio and tv broadcaster edwina currie. and coming up next is the new labour government's prisons minister. write that two thirds of criminals should be released from jail. that's right. should two thirds of criminals be let out of jail?

next. well, my reaction to our new prime minister, keir starmer, in my take at ten in just 25 minutes time. but the emails and messages are coming in thick and fast. messages are coming in thick and fast . gbnews.com/yoursay former fast. gbnews.com/yoursay former government minister edwina currie, very critical of reform uk. she does not want a deal between the tories and reform, but wendy's not happy, wendy says good evening mark. call me anything you want. i like reform's policies well considered and exactly what this country needs. top of all the reform treat our patriotic and

put the british people first. phoebe says they have no idea where the centre is anymore . where the centre is anymore. they've gone so far to the left they can't even see it, how about patricia , who says, that's about patricia, who says, that's choice coming from edwina currie? all know something there about john major, which gets a little x—rated, which i'll gloss oven little x—rated, which i'll gloss over, but don't worry, patricia, we're all good. how about this ? we're all good. how about this? david says the conservative party will learn nothing. just like edwina. they blame everyone. but themselves. look, there are so many messages, catherine says to all reformers listening to edwina proves exactly why some former conservative voters could not vote for them again. okay, i'll get some more of your messages. brilliant as always. gbnews.com/yoursay but the government's new prisons minister is james timpson, owner of the key cutting and shoe repair chain timpson's, who proudly employ ex—convicts. but

could his appointment see a dramatic shift in how we treat people who break the law, given that earlier this year, timpson said only a third of inmates should be in prison , he said the should be in prison, he said the uk is addicted to sentencing people , arguing that many are people, arguing that many are inside for far too long. he cited holland, who have closed half their prisons and pursued community sentences instead . community sentences instead. take a listen to what was a fascinating interview . fascinating interview. >> we have 85,000 people in prison. it's going to go up to 100,000 pretty soon. a third of them should definitely be there. there's another third in the middle, which probably shouldn't be there, but they need some other kind of state support. a lot of them have got mental, massive mental health issues. and then there's another third and there's a large proportion of women shouldn't prisoners is a disaster for them. i think we need to have a government that is prepared to accept that we can't afford, as a country to build 4 to £6 billion worth of prisons, to house more people .

prisons, to house more people. >> so should two thirds of britain's criminals be released from jail? let's get the views of tonight's top pundits. we have nina myskow , david oldroyd, have nina myskow, david oldroyd, bolt. and finally, having got the right train, cecilia curci, cecilia, i bet you can't wait for labour to take the trains back into. >> i thought it was. >> i thought it was. >> i thought it was a mini strike in protest because it didn't stop where it was meant to stop. it carried on for getting the wrong train. it's not the wrong train. it was the right train. it just didn't stop at the stop. it went straight to saint albans. so saint albans had a lovely little visit to you, but yeah. no, it's, interesting because i don't, i don't know, i think what he's saying is an interesting take, and i think prisons should be the last resort. i think, maybe criminals too easily are caught in the problem. so they'll go into prison, commit another low level crime, and then go back in and kind of think that's the formula of their life. so rather than focus on the solution, and i think i don't know about

releasing loads of people, but it all depends on it. can't just be, oh, we're just going to release a few people because you know, we haven't got room in prisons. i think it's got to be based on good behaviour, things like that. i saw a thing in america where they're actually giving cats to, prisoners on death row. really hard criminals, and they've been reformed. they're giving having a cats as a reward. a reward? yes as a reward to stroke their. i won't say the p word, but anyway, they just stroke their cats. aguila. that's cats. control yourself. and it's helped them. but let's not get carried away. but if it can help hardened criminals, why? why do we not have other solutions? >> probably harden them further. david, what do you think are too many people in prison in this country? >> i simply don't know , because >> i simply don't know, because i haven't looked at the statistics of what proportion of people are in for, say, violent crime, what proportion for blue collar crime, what for white collar crime, what for white collar crime? sorry, what proportion for sort of minor offences. i did do a little research when your researchers sent me this on which studies have been done abroad, and an

interesting quotation from a multiple recidivist burglar. if you thought you would get a stricter sentence every time you went back to prison, would it stop you committing these crimes? and he said, well, if i thought about it, it would. so i just don't think about it. right? | just don't think about it. right? i think we have to take a really serious evidence based approach to this. and yes, that means looking at what other countries have done to reduce their prison populations and also how sentencing has been approached , because there are approached, because there are undoubtedly criminals who should be in prison and they should be there for a very long time indeed. but if we're talking about people who are perhaps educationally deprived and i having talked to her. excuses, excuses. having talked to her. excuses, excuses . no it's not i talked to excuses. no it's not i talked to because you can't read doesn't mean you should shoplift. if you cannot read and write, it's very difficult to get any kind of meaningful employment at all in today's world. i talked to a prison chaplain about this not very long ago at all, who is a former tory minister who took a very hard line on prisons while in office. his experience has taught him that there is, in fact, a serious problem that must be addressed. jonathan aitken yes, indeed, all right, nina, i've got viewers and

listeners who'll be furious about this suggestion. >> they want people who break the law to be punished and jailed. >> i agree with that. people who break the law should be punished and jailed. what? john timpson is not saying he is not saying let now let two thirds of the people out. that's not what he's saying. he's saying if you look at the categories of people and the type of people who are in prison, this should not have happened. prison, this should not have happened . and he he is he's a happened. and he he is he's a very , very, honourable man. i very, very, honourable man. i only heard his name because we all know timpson's the key thing and the thing i only heard of him just a few years ago because he put he put forward a scheme to, to pay the hrt prescriptions for their employees. and that to me, is, is a is a is a is for their employees. and that to me,is,isaisaisaisa for their employees. and that to me, is, is a is a is a is a very sensible and honourable man. and that they started a big discussion about hrt and it came from a man and he employs ex—cons. i heard him talking on the radio and he said, he said,

well, you know, how come they don't nick from you? he said, well , a few of them don't nick from you? he said, well, a few of them do. and he said, we frankly, we've learned don't take the ones who are under 25 because they're too young and inexperienced, and they can't young men under 25, men under 25. actually, you can take young women under 19. that's it. you can't take women under 19. but so there's the difference. but what he is saying is that we're talking about societal, societal problems. he said, if you can catch them when they're sort of young teenagers and somehow prevent them from carrying a knife from getting into that kind of mindset, then then you, then you, then you , then you then you, then you, then you have a chance of not of that cycle, not starting . cycle, not starting. >> okay. >> okay. >> well, look, what do you think, folks? does prison work? would you like to see fewer people in prison doing community sentences instead? let me know your thoughts . your thoughts. gbnews.com/yoursay coming up in my take at ten, my verdict on the victorious sir keir starmer, i'll be sharing my hopes and fears about our new prime

minister. that's my take. at 10 in 15 minutes time, you won't want to miss it, but first, will our new prime minister fix lawless britain? i'll be asking my mark menzies guest, a former cop of 25 years who risked his own life as an undercover gang member. he'll share his incredible story about penetrating dark criminal underworld the next break. see you

the government's new prisons minister thinks that two thirds of inmates should not be in jail at all. strong reaction on the message board. this from margie. mark, let the prisoners build the prisons and go back in them to finish their sentence, how about this? from betty? don't let people out for good behaviour. add on to their time for bad behaviour. cathy says mark, maybe we should bring back the stocks for some humiliation. it might be a good deterrent and

robert says we should have longer prison sentences as they currently don't serve the sentence that they're given in court. robert, thank you for that. keep those messages coming. it might take a ten. my reaction to our new prime minister, sir keir starmer. that's in ten minutes time. you won't want to miss it. but first this. yes. it's time for mark meets and a former cop of 25 years who risked his own life as an undercover gang member. robert sole took on the toughest assignment of his police career , assignment of his police career, penetrating the dark criminal underworld, posing as one of their own. and he joins me now. robert lovely to see you. i understand you were on your way into the studio. you've broken down in the car. what a trooper. >> well, basically what happened was my own car went past through a stone and cracked the windscreen . my friends got windscreen. my friends got electric cars that you can borrow mine. i'll never buy one. i've been queuing at charging points for hours. terrible. >> what do you think of . what do

>> what do you think of. what do you think of keir starmer's green revolution? then he's our new prime minister. >> well, i can tell you now, i've just driven up the a350 . i've just driven up the a350. portsmouth? yeah. everywhere i've stopped, there's been 2 or 3 cars queuing and when i hooked onto the machine, it said an hours onto the machine, it said an hour's charge to get going again. it's ludicrous. it's never going to work. >> it's never going to work. well, look, i really hope that you can get some power and get yourself safely home. now, what we're going to do, we're going to reschedule this interview because your story is far too fascinating to gloss over. so i think next time when we get you in, let's talk about your time as an undercover cop, but can i just get a bit of background to this? you served in the military for eight years. what were you doing in the military ? doing in the military? >> i was i was in the royal navy for eight years, joined in 1976. i was a radar operator in the on ships, as a helicopter controller , controlling aircraft controller, controlling aircraft from inside the ship. and then i left there. i ran in in 82 for portsmouth. one of the toughest competitions in the world. and

then i joined the police in 84. i got recommended for pilot training but didn't have the exam, so i joined the police instead and took on a more dangerous life. >> yeah. what attracted you to the police force? why did you join the police force , join the police force, >> well, when i was doing my exams to be a pilot, the police came to the seminar and said. why don't you come and join us if you're thinking of leaving? and i wasn't thinking leaving at the time, but after the seminar, i thought, i'll give it a go. and i left and joined the police. best movie i ever made. best job in the world. >> and what do you make of modern policing? some people think it's a little politically correct. what's your view ? correct. what's your view? >> i think modern policing has gone right down the toilet, to be honest with you, i've had a couple of instances with myself in the last five years, and i don't know why we pay them any more. they really are a waste of good money nowadays. and if they, they have no will to change either, which is even worse. i've contacted mark rowley and said i'll help, i'll help. they'll get rid of corrupt cops as an undercover. i'll help train people to do what they need to do. nobody's interested. i contacted the government about

the boat crisis with the migrants up to stop it in a week. not a peep from suella braverman priti patel, boris johnson . nobody really wants to johnson. nobody really wants to change anymore. it's just going downhill. this country is going downhill. this country is going downhill in a big way. >> how would you stop the boats, robert? >> well, basically it's i did well, i did smuggle people by boat for, for the government. to catch them, catch the criminals. but the truth is , there are no but the truth is, there are no criminal gangs out there. this is a big industry of being sent over by the french. i did a boat job with the french, and. i know that it's fake. now because before they let me cross the channel to pick up the migrants, they said, i want you to give them a full safety briefing, a full safety briefing in. and bearin full safety briefing in. and bear in mind they're all foreigners. i don't speak their language. so we said we'd cover that on the basis of a an air hostess briefing, which is ludicrous . criminals don't give ludicrous. criminals don't give safety briefings. and they said we wanted to do some more. a read department of trade

standard life jacket . so as they standard life jacket. so as they get across safely. i've never known a criminal care about health and safety. once you've paid your money, if you don't make it, it doesn't matter. i think i think the whole thing is a bit of a sham. and when i see all the government ministers on the television saying, we've got to kill this, get rid of these people smuggling gangs, it's utter, utter nonsense. the only people i ever met on the migrants thing was patsies. people i ever met on the migrants thing was patsies . like migrants thing was patsies. like lads were trying to earn a few quid. not no proper criminals, no gangsters, none at all. and i challenge anybody to prove to me there is a criminal network that is currently being looked at properly by any good police organisation, because as far as i'm aware, none has been caught. they've had that. >> this sounds like a wild conspiracy theory. i mean, you're not suggesting that the french are somehow just proactively organising these migrant crossings , are you? migrant crossings, are you? >> i don't believe it's criminal gangs at all. i think they're actually being sent across by, don't get me wrong, i don't blame the french. they're all

sat on their borders, and the way to get rid of them is not send them back, but send them to us. >> us. >> and. but would you accept that that is a conspiracy that the french authorities would deny what about those facebook and tiktok adverts on the part of these gangs advertising the uk as a safe haven for the right amount of cash? >> yeah, i think, i think there's i'd have to look into it a lot more. i'm not happy with the whole bearing in mind i was i was smuggling people back in 2005. yeah. and i flagged up then. i didn't think this was right, that they were making them wear life jackets. and since then, i haven't heard of any decent criminal gang being locked up for people smuggling by boat. not one. unless i've missed it all in the press. i haven't seen it. >> well, listen, robert, you and ihave >> well, listen, robert, you and i have an appointment, so we're going to get you back in the studio, talk about your incredible career, and i'm really sorry. you've obviously had an evening to forget. at least england are through to the euros. but will you come and see me in the studio so we can have a proper chat? >> oh, absolutely. because there's a lot of things we can

talk about today. i want to put the police right. i'm not trying to decry the police. they do a hard job, okay? they've lost their way. totally. >> of course they have. well, i tend to agree with you, robert. we'll catch up soon. safe journey home. next up in a take a turn special sir keir starmer. my verdict. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. welcome to your gb news, weather update from the met office. as we go into sunday, it's a case of showers once again, sunny spells and still feeling on the cool side for the time of year. we've got this area of low pressure moving out towards the east and driving north westerly winds, so bringing that fresher feel for sunday. but it's turning dry across parts of england to through this evening, with some late evening sunshine, clear spells elsewhere but a few showers mainly coming into western parts of england and into wales and northwestern england as well, but still temperatures around 10 or 11

a fresh start to monday morning. plenty of dry weather. first thing we'll start to see some showers breaking out across northern parts of england and scotland, but another area of low pressure towards the south, bringing cloudier skies and outbreaks of rain. and that sets the scene really through monday , the scene really through monday, tuesday and wednesday, with outbreaks of rain . temperatures outbreaks of rain. temperatures generally around average looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb. >> news

after the news headlines and tatiana sanchez . tatiana sanchez. >> mark thank you. the top story sir keir starmer says rishi sunak's plans to send migrants to rwanda is now dead and buried. speaking after the first meeting of his new cabinet, the prime minister ruled out the controversial scheme, which had failed to deport a single migrant. he also said labour's election victory has given them a clear mandate to govern in all four corners of the united kingdom . kingdom. >> look, the rwanda scheme was dead and buried before it started. it's never been a deterrent , look at the numbers deterrent, look at the numbers that have come over in the first six and a bit months of this yeah six and a bit months of this year. they are record numbers. thatis year. they are record numbers. that is the problem that we are inheriting. it has never acted as a deterrent, almost the opposite, because everybody has worked out, particularly the gangs that run this, that the chance of ever going to rwanda

was so slim, less than 1. >> the leader of reform uk, nigel farage, has reacted by claiming labour will struggle to deal with the issue of illegal immigration. >> what he said he would do it. at least he's kept a promise. i suppose. look, rwanda was never going to work. suppose. look, rwanda was never going to work . what keir starmer going to work. what keir starmer is proposing, which is , you is proposing, which is, you know, tackle the gangs. well, frankly, you know, the last government were doing that for the last few years. it's not going to work at the minute. it's wild and windy , but we do it's wild and windy, but we do have some pretty strong first hand accounts that as soon as we get a calm spell, they'll be crossing the english channel in their thousands. and let's face it, keir starmer does not have a plan to deal with it. >> former chancellor jeremy hunt >> former chancellorjeremy hunt has ruled himself out of standing for the tory leadership. >> when asked, he told gb news at the time has passed he managed to hold on to his seat godalming and ash and has previously tried twice to become conservative leader . meanwhile, conservative leader. meanwhile, suella braverman has failed to

curci. a packed hour those papers are coming. but first, my take at ten. in life you don't always get what you choose. you don't choose your eye colour. you don't choose your place of birth. and on thursday, a good few million people didn't choose sir keir starmer. and whilst the pubuc sir keir starmer. and whilst the public were clearly mightily sick of the tories and it's probably healthy for the country to have a change, starmer becomes the prime minister with the lowest popular vote of any pm in recent political history, and a negative poll rating, according to yougov. just 1 in 3 brits have a favourable view of the labour leader compared to 54% of the public who do not like the guy giving him a score of —18. and he hasn't even

started yet. astonishingly, the truly abysmal jeremy corbyn gained 3 million more votes in 2017 than starmer did on thursday . but 2017 than starmer did on thursday. but in the 2017 than starmer did on thursday . but in the spirit of thursday. but in the spirit of accepting and indeed embracing a political result, i heartily congratulate, congratulate sir keir starmer on what remains a remarkable achievement. he has dragged his party kicking and screaming towards the centre ground, though still noticeably to the left of tony blair. i might add . new labour 2.0. this might add. new labour 2.0. this is not. but starmer ran a smart , is not. but starmer ran a smart, coherent and disciplined campaign , saying as little as campaign, saying as little as possible in order to not scare the horses. the manifesto was so vague it raised more questions than a gary barlow tax return. but it worked . he was ruthless but it worked. he was ruthless and he got the job done. fair play. keir starmer is our prime

minister now and i hope he is incredibly successful. but having watched starmer in opposition, i cannot tell you in all honesty that i'm optimistic this will happen . it's my view this will happen. it's my view that starmer is a duplicitous, maybe even dishonest man who has been willing to do and say anything to get elected. i hope i'm wrong, but i see him as a shallow, virtue signalling member of the north london metropolitan elite who takes the knee to the latest woke. cause it's my view that sir keir starmer is the human manifestation of chatgpt software gone wrong, and he's had more flip flops than a branch of sports direct. but raised a catholic. forgiveness is in my dna, and if sir keir starmer gives up the habit of a lifetime and actually sticks to his principles, whatever they are , if he's serious about are, if he's serious about economic growth with national income, the best way to unlock great public services and help

the poorest rather than more borrowing, then i will be his biggest cheerleader. if he's patriotic, if he can stand up for britain's best interests globally, if he makes the public sector efficient, delivering real value for money to the taxpayer, and if he fixes our nhs with tough reforms rather than more wasted billions, then i will be his biggest cheerleader. if he stands up to the rise of our increasingly sectarian politics by tackling antisemitic hate on those weekly so—called peace marches and not allowing mps to be bullied on which way to vote on a war thousands of miles away, then i will be his biggest cheerleader. as a former top prosecutor. if keir starmer reduces knife crime, sexual assaults, shoplifting car thefts and burglary, then happy days and i'll forgive starmer's relentless efforts to reverse brexit if he now embraces our

sovereignty and strikes trade deals around the world, including with india and with the united states. when donald trump likely wins in november. starmer has said it's country first, not party. well, let's see whether he can stick to that when his own backbenchers are pushing for inflation busting pay pushing for inflation busting pay rises in the public sector and calling for an ever larger, more bloated and intrusive state that the country simply doesn't have the means to finance. i'm concerned about saddling business with red tape and higher taxes and emboldening the trade unions. i'm not sure how any of that grows the economy. he's also just scrapped the rwanda scheme. you can hear the champagne corks popping in calais as we speak. and it's my grave fear that wokery , which grave fear that wokery, which began under the conservatives, will get far worse under the leadership of a prime minister who thinks that some women have

a penis. i don't know starmer's anatomy too well, but i hope he finds a backbone and puts an end to this madness and protects real women, if not in five years time, the electorate will find someone who will. but for now, you can love this guy or hate him, but he has a clear mandate to lead the nation, and he deserves to be given a chance and a fair crack of the whip. so sir keir, congratulations and good luck. it's an impressive victory and you should be proud. you now have the most important job in the country and it's in all of our interests for you to succeed. so over the next five years on mark dolan tonight, i will applaud you when you get things right, but i will be your fiercest critic when you get things wrong. sir keir starmer has said he wants to change britain. what remains to be seen is whether he changes it for the

better. will keir starmer be a great prime minister? let me know your thoughts, gbnews.com/yoursay. i'll get to your opinions in a moment. but first, tonight's top pundits. legendary fleet street journalist nina myskow , journalist nina myskow, historian and politics guru david oldroyd, bolt and fearless broadcaster sajeela qureshi , broadcaster sajeela qureshi, david oldroyd bolt. will keir starmer be a great prime minister? >> greatness can be great, even if the ends achieved are appalling. greatness is, after all, about stature . i think if all, about stature. i think if he achieves what he clearly sets out to do in his manifesto, which is a deeply socialist, highly statist britain, then he will be great. he will also be successful. this is why i can't join you in wishing him success, because in this regard i think he is blair 2.0. he wants to take power away from parliament, away from the functioning of the democracy of the people embodied in parliament, and put it in the hands of civil servants and

quangos whom we do not elect, who are not accountable to us, and who have very little public responsibility. it was a great sadness today to see that matthew rycroft, the permanent secretary of the home affairs department, was tweeting welcoming the new home secretary, whom he said he looks forward to working in partnership with. it is not for the civil service to work in partnership with the government. it is for them to serve the government , enacting the wishes government, enacting the wishes of the people. but i'm afraid this will just be the beginning of a long trend of re—establishing what little removal of power the cameron and subsequent tory governments removed from the congo, and further diminishing the role of parliament in british public life . life. >> sajeela qureshi. this labour government will spend more, borrow more and they won't stop the boats. >> well, i don't know that and l, >> well, i don't know that and i, as you know, have been starmer's, biggest critic, as someone who's on that side and i do think it depends on what side of the political or political fence you're sitting on, that if he's doing a good job or not. so

far, for me, he scrapped war at rwanda. fantastic, he's also come out and said that he wants to protect women only safe spaces. so that's a start. and i wonder if he's just been playing it smarter than i gave him credit for, which is keeping quiet. not saying anything, all that flip flopping, but actually because he knew he was going to win. i mean, everyone's sick of the tories. we've known this. we should have called death on it. you know, about three prime ministers back. and so he knew who was going to get in. and i think he's going to keep playing his cards to his chest. that's why i think we don't know. we have to still give him a chance. >> i think he deserves a fair crack of the whip. nina myskow. but he's only been in power for a day and he's already made a huge mistake. he has scrapped the rwanda plan, and i can hear the rwanda plan, and i can hear the champagne corks popping in calais as we speak. >> the. >> the. >> he has scrapped a plan that was ludicrously expensive and a mere gimmick. as he quite rightly pointed out, it was 1% of a chance of being sent to

rwanda . rwanda was rwanda. rwanda was a harebrained, idiotic gimmick. there were only 2 or 300 hotel places, so after the first plane had gone, there was nowhere else for them to go. >> a gimmick, a gimmick. nina myskow that the irish government said was working well. >> well, the irish government may say it's working, but on the other hand, it was not a long term solution. and actually, when we're talking about stopping the boats, what we really are also talking about is legal migration, because that is 700,000. so we're not just talking. the boats are almost a mere bagatelle. >> and why does keir starmer become prime minister on a negative poll rating of —18? >> we've discussed this before. we know that keir starmer has a kind of charisma bypass. he's a very solid, decent man, but he doesn't have the flashiness of a bofis doesn't have the flashiness of a boris or the oratory skills of farage and thank god for that. i mean, i was watching him today at his press conference, which he gave after the first county.

he has hit the ground running and seeing all those women walking into walking down downing street at rachel reeves, i think is going to be a brilliant chancellor, made my heart just gladden. and he came out and gave a press conference. he was very impressive. he didn't dodge anything . he, he didn't dodge anything. he, he was he was he was firm. he was fair. he was almost human. i think we will see that more human side to him. and i think his ratings will go up. >> well, i think just today alone, he's basically opened the border in the channel. but what's your reaction to our new prime minister, will keir starmer be a great prime minister? what are your first impressions? gbnews.com/yoursay but next up, joe biden has said only the lord almighty can tell him to quit. the white house will get reaction from the queen of us royal and political reporting kinsey schofield. plus, kinsey reacts to the first meeting between king charles and our new prime minister, sir keir starmer. do the two have chemistry? will they

well together? we'll debate

next. papers at 1030. but following his disastrous appearance in the tv presidential debate, joe biden has appeared on abc news to defend himself. here's what he had to say . he had to say. >> have you had the specific cognitive tests and have you had a neurologist, a specialist do an examination? >> no, no one said i had two. no 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 . have that test. everything i do. >> do you know what he does have a cognitive test every day, and he fails that test every day. this confident performance was in stark contrast to his efforts

facing donald trump the week before last. take a listen . before last. take a listen. >> eligible for what i've been able to do with the with the covid. excuse me, with, dealing with everything we have to do with, look , if we finally beat with, look, if we finally beat medicare, i really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. i don't think he knows what he said either. >> sorry. it breaks me up every time. however, since then, mr biden's senior moments continue to come thick and fast with the president telling an interviewer that he was proud to be a black woman. he kept that one quiet and in a bold declaration that will send shivers down the spine of democratic party insiders, he declared that only the lord almighty can get him to stand down. well, is this an almighty disaster for america? let's get the views of the queen of us. showbiz, royal and political reporting kinsey schofield kinsey with this latest

interview, has joe biden done anything to reassure critics within his own party? >> well, i'd say very little democratic pollster doug schoen called on biden to prove he's capable to take on former president donald trump by accepting trump's challenge to debate again anytime as soon as possible. he also insisted biden take that cognitive test right away with independent doctors, something biden, you heard right there, said he didn't have to do. he doesn't need it, which i think proves how stubborn and defiant this candidate really is. >> most definitely. well, i wonder , kinsey, whether the wonder, kinsey, whether the media have turned a blind eye to joe biden's health issues for a long time now . take a listen to long time now. take a listen to this excellent compilation , this excellent compilation, which has gone viral. this excellent compilation, which has gone viral . we're just which has gone viral. we're just waiting for that tape to roll . waiting for that tape to roll. have we got the tape, folks? are you concentrating this version of biden intellectually and

politically is the best biden even eve r. >> even >> he is sharp, intensely probing and detail oriented and focused for example, we have a thousand billionaires in america , thousand billionaires in america, billionaires in america. >> this is a man who is sharp, who is on top of his game, who knows what's going on. >> he's smart. he's on his game. >> he's smart. he's on his game. >> his mental acuity is great. >> his mental acuity is great. >> this is a very sharp president . president. >> so, kinsey, these are some of the biggest names in us journalism saying that joe biden is as sharp as a tack , are they is as sharp as a tack, are they lying? are they deluded? what's the story? >> i mean, i think it is a fair criticism . this was always a criticism. this was always a blatant strategy by the white house. keep him away from anyone that might challenge him. it was his entire presidential campaign strategy in 2020. they called him basement joe. you saw biden skip traditional year in press conferences in favour of celebrity softball interviews. he has engaged in fewer press

conferences and media interviews than any of the last seven presidents, participating in just 36 press conferences throughout his term. how that was ever deemed acceptable is beyond my comprehension. trump had a really nasty relationship with the media, but he has never shied away from a microphone. >> most definitely. briefly, kinsey, do you think that he will be competing against donald trump in november for the white house? will the party get rid of him before then? what do you reckon? >> i think briefly, is tough. newsweek is reporting that joe biden's chances of beating donald trump in november have supped donald trump in november have slipped to an all time low of just 9. republicans don't want to see him replaced. there are several scenarios biden could decide himself to step aside before he's nominated. at the democratic convention in chicago in august . he democratic convention in chicago in august. he could be challenged by others who try to win over the delegates he has accrued, or he could withdraw after the convention, leaving the democratic national committee to elect someone to

run against trump. i don't see biden voluntarily stepping aside. i think it will take something nefarious or catastrophic to move joe biden , catastrophic to move joe biden, jill, out of the white house. >> that's right, jill, out of the white house. >> that's right , because that's >> that's right, because that's the first lady doctor, jill biden. everyone thinks she's the key figure because she's the one who can sit her husband down and say, honey, it's over. but many are suggesting that she enjoys being first lady far too much to pull him out of the race. >> yeah, i mean , megyn kelly >> yeah, i mean, megyn kelly recently said that jill was power hungry and accused her of posing for that vogue magazine coven posing for that vogue magazine cover, promoting herself running this shadow campaign. and there are a lot of people that are accusing joe biden of assuming a leadership position, that she was not elected to, and that doesn't sit well with a large percent, you know, percentage of american voters, some commentators have even gone as far as to describe jill's behaviour towards joe as elder abuse. >> crumbs . briefly. could >> crumbs. briefly. could michelle obama step in as a possible replacement to joe biden ?

biden? >> well, in a hypothetical match up between michelle and former president donald trump, the first lady outperformed biden and led trump 50% to 39. in a new reuters poll. although i would like to remind everyone that she has insisted throughout the years that she has no intent to run for president, >> sir keir starmer, the new british prime minister, had his first meeting with the king. >> kinsey, a big moment for both men, you could say, couldn't you? a new prime minister and a relatively new king. >> yes, yes. and we do expect starmer and his family to receive an invite to spend a few days with the royals at balmoral. so i imagine there could be some, some very extensive bonding happening between the two of them coming up there you go. >> well, let's hope they don't get too close. kinsey will catch you in a week's time. thank you for that brilliant overview of what's happening stateside, do check out kinsey schofield. excellent podcast, to die for daily and her website of the same name. coming up, tomorrow's newspaper front pages and live

post—brexit deal. within weeks, the mail on sunday has been told. the new prime minister wants more relaxed freedom of movement rules and lower trade barriers. eu sources believe, and is willing to sign the uk up to some brussels rules in exchange. is this the great brexit betrayal? also, judy murray's jibe as emma ends andy's 19 dream sunday telegraph now blair ally drafted in to drive nhs reform. amazing to think that the sunday telegraph are going to be writing about a labour government and what labour government and what labour are trying to do to fix the nhs, nina delighted about that. david aldridge bolton not so much sajeela in the middle. labouris so much sajeela in the middle. labour is set to bring back sir tony blair's former health secretary, alan milburn, to help reform the nhs in a sign that the private sector and consumer choice will be at the heart of their plans. this comes after their plans. this comes after the prime minister, keir

starmer, said in his first press conference that the nhs was broken. labour, in talks with germany over closer eu ties, is the other story and tories deserved to lose, says suella braverman. she said that they deserve their historic election defeat in an intervention that will be seen as laying the groundwork for her own leadership bid. writing in the telegraph, the former home secretary accuses rishi sunak of pursuing an idiotic strategy and suggests that some of her colleagues treated voters like mugs . sunday express pm rwanda mugs. sunday express pm rwanda planned dead and buried sir keir starmer declared the tories flagship rwanda plan dead and buned flagship rwanda plan dead and buried today. he revealed that he had torn up the deal to send asylum seekers to the central african country in his first act as prime minister they are , as prime minister they are, through england, squeezed past the swiss into the semis. sarkar goal takes the team to a penalty

journalist nina myskow, historian and politics guru and the best dressed man in the country, david aldridge. bolt and yes, absolutely, the permanently glamorous and always fearless broadcaster cecilia curci. well, will you look at that , nina curci. well, will you look at that, nina myskow curci. well, will you look at that , nina myskow the curci. well, will you look at that, nina myskow the brexit betrayal begins . brexit now the betrayal begins. brexit now the retreat starts, say the mail on sunday. keir starmer wants to go to brussels and hand back our sovereignty. >> well that's well you you're right. it is the mail. it's the mail starting to scaremonger. and if you'll notice, it's not, you know , even a source said it you know, even a source said it says are you eu source believes so. that's nobody. they haven't got anybody to quote. >> it's probably van der lie—in. >> it's probably van der lie—in. >> it's probably van der lie—in. >> i would have thought, oh come on, it's this. this is them just spinning it to start scaremongering. it's pathetic. >> we know. i mean , he's the >> we know. i mean, he's the biggest remainer the world has ever seen. he tried to reverse brexit. >> but the thing is, we do need a better trade agreement. got an amazing trade agreement. >> i wouldn't touch a thing for oui'. >> our. >> there's far too much red tape

for our businesses. our small businesses are tied up in knots. look at look at our performing artists, our creative artists. >> they that you've been spending too much time with elton john, who's desperate for a labour government . a labour government. >> the bottom line is he can afford a labour government. the rest of us can't. >> you know, i don't vote laboun >> you know, i don't vote labour, i vote, i vote lib dem and i'm we're not even talking about the brilliant , result that about the brilliant, result that ed davey's had 72 seats. >> we will talk about that 72 seats. >> but so i'm just saying this is and if you look at the other one that says, it's the it's the sunday to labour and talks the germany over closer eu ties. it's the two tory papers. >> well they're worried they're worried that the man who tried to reverse brexit is going to do just that. >> and the issue is if he if he agrees to some kind of better single market access, then that means free movement. if he wants to have some kind of customs union, it means by by trade deals, he's already said. >> and what trade deals do we have? we haven't got india. we haven't got the united states. we're not likely to get them in the near future.

>> well, we will get a trade deal with america. david aldridge, bolt if keir starmer, our new prime minister, engages with the incoming president, likely to be donald trump, do you think that could happen? >> i think it's likely to happen as long as he keeps a new foreign secretary, david lammy, away from anything to do with it. given that mr lammy has previously made exceptionally disparaging remarks about trump and his regime. disparaging remarks about trump and his regime . so that probably and his regime. so that probably doesn't help when you're coming to try and negotiate a trade deal on the european trade deal. we have the very best trade deal of any country in the world with the european union and yes, there are problems with it because no trade deal is always going to be of equal acceptance to all sides. the point about the india deal, i think, is that we have to make an extraordinary effort across the west now to bnng effort across the west now to bring india back towards the west to stop its geopolitical drift towards russia and china, which we have allowed to do over the past ten years. and it will be to not only our detriment, but to the detriment of the. >> vladimir putin is selling all his oil and gas to india now. >> yes. and india is selling cheap coal up to russia. and this is one of the most important geopolitical items of business that we face in the

west. and on that , we should be west. and on that, we should be working with the united states, with america, with canada , with with america, with canada, with australia, with new zealand, with any free democracy in the world that will work with us to bnng world that will work with us to bring india back this way and to keep them out of the orbit and the ambit of the two most dangerous threats to democracy that the world knows. >> but we have so far failed under the tory government. >> sir sheila, we had years and years of brexit deadlock. we finally got brexit across the line . the uk has leapfrogged line. the uk has leapfrogged france as number eight in the world for manufacturing. we've gone from number seven globally to number four for exports. we're currently sitting at the top of the g7 for economic growth, for god's sake, don't stop a winning formula. we mustn't touch brexit, must we? >> oh my god, how long ago did we vote for brexit 2016? yeah, exactly. so now the prime minister wants to reverse it. but no, we don't know where people would leave well alone reverse it. >> he's not said he wants to brexit. >> brexit. if you say you're going to improve your relationship with europe, that is snake oil language for reversing brexit. >> we should part of the problems of the boat, part of

the problems of the boat. can i tell you to the fact so i wouldn't change a syllable of that trade deal with the european union. >> it's a flawed it's a flawed deal which guarantees us sovereignty, control of our borders and our money. >> oh, because we've done so well with the borders so far, haven't we? with the brexit when brexit happened. look how bad it is now. well we have to power down to the cod—zilla. >> we have the prime minister keir starmer has the power to stop the boats and indeed to reduce legal net migration. >> they failed. >> they failed. >> and what they did, and that's why they're farage and reform. the tories are old story and old history are irrelevant. ancient history. we've got reform now saying, oh, it's such a scare mongering . mongering. >> everybody, you know, frightening them. this is going to happen. that's going to happen. well, let's just give i mean, i can't believe i'm saying this. let's just give labour chance. >> well, you wanted a labour government. i know you're not the biggest fan of keir starmer, but i understand you wanted a labour government. is that right? >> but i'm i'm actually quite impressed. so far. day one. all right. >> well you voted for a party that wants to take us back to our brexit deadlock. hell. and you want to get rid of the trade

deals and you want to bring back three movements. >> don't do the tories not because of labour. that's not true . that's absolutely not true. that's absolutely not true. that's absolutely not true. he is said he doesn't want to go . he's said he's not renegotiating. >> i don't even want to see him on a plane to brussels. oh, for heaven's sake. >> we have they europe, our nearest neighbours. we need a better deal with them. >> why? what are they producing that we don't have at the moment? >> that's a completely fallacious geopolitical strategy of gravity theory, not the world is so big and so connected. interconnected. oh my god, we are . geographical proximity is irrelevant. >> it's the arrogance of that. we think we can do this on our own. it's we are doing it on our own. it's we are doing it on our own and we are very badly. >> we're at the top of the g7 for growth at the moment. >> the street is not happy because he's with me. >> with your blue passport cover and forget about it. >> well, i the funny thing is that we're the best in the world for g7 growth at the moment. i'm quite happy that we have the world's fourth largest exports, and i'm quite happy that we've got 58 free trade deals and we'll add others to them

shortly. >> nina. nina! >> nina. nina! >> what's happened? >> what's happened? >> you're just this, this, this whole scaremongering thing about. i'm not scaremongering. >> i'm pointing out the positives of this. >> not you. you mark. i'm horrified. >> what? i'm doing is i'm alerting the nation to what this new prime minister is about to do, which is to take the brexit deal back to brussels and renegotiate the keir starmer has actually said he's not wanting to rejoin europe. >> he's stated that he will, he will. >> and of course, we can take him on his word, can't we? because this is keir starmer actually listen. >> and you are very, very have you been on the pop again, nina? no, i have not. i wish i had been! no, i have not. i wish i had been i know england are through. i wish i was half a bottle down like edwina. or a full bottle down. the thing is, you know , down. the thing is, you know, you can't. you just can't have that. you can't. you just can't have that . this, you can't. you just can't have that. this, this, this you can't. you just can't have that . this, this, this whole that. this, this, this whole business of saying this is the worst thing that can happen. give the man a chance. he is going tomorrow, to all the four nations, all the people who are passionate about the union. i'm not that passionate about it, but who, who, who, who say that they're passionate about. he is going to. each of the four

nafions going to. each of the four nations tomorrow are not four nations. >> we are one nation with four constituent parts. this is really important . and this is really important. and this is where i do not trust him because he's said from the off, these are four notes. that is sectarian division. no, we are one nation. >> we couldn't trust any of the tories. one at a time, one at a time. >> nina. and then sajeela. >> nina. and then sajeela. >> that's exactly why he's doing this. he's he's to show that we are one nation in downing street. they had the salt and they had the welsh flag deliberately to show we are one was the saint george's flag . was the saint george's flag. well we. why would you need a saint george's flag? >> well, because england's quite a significant part of the union too , of course. too, of course. >> why are we flying any national flags? we have a national flags? we have a national flag. it's called the union flag. they had nothing else. >> and on. well, we know labour can't stand the saint george cross. he's seeing all the metro mayors, whatever colour of their rosette . so he's well they're rosette. so he's well they're all red. >> no wonder he wants to see them. they're not. they're all his mates. >> they are not. >> they are not. >> i think we can all agree that it has been extremely divisive. and i think we all probably want it to be more united, which we haven't had a united kingdom for a very long time. and i'm just

thinking, well, come on, you know, we've got to have some hope. and that's what i'm putting my thing into. let's have some hope before we bring the man down. okay. >> well, listen, folks, what do you think about this ? is sir you think about this? is sir keir starmer going to be a good prime minister? i'll get to your messages on that shortly. plus, how about this as a debating point , nigel how about this as a debating point, nigel farage is now in the house of commons. the tories need his help. so what is his next step? i'll be asking our top fleet street insider

next. well. look, folks, really, really busy. last part of the show to come. let's have a look at one of our other headlines. this is the independent, the eye newspaper. michael heseltine. what? the tory party must do now to survive the opposition.

england finally master penalties to book place in euro semi—finals . and how about this semi—finals. and how about this one in an exclusive in the independent, pm's first press conference. call me keir hints at tough decisions on increasing taxes. sir keir starmer hinted that his government may have to make some tough choices on tax rises, as he gave his first press conference as prime minister. well, the person with that scoop is david maddox, who is the independent's political editor and he joins me now. david, welcome to the show. you've just joined the independent as their political edhon independent as their political editor, and now you've got a new prime minister. how long is this honeymoon going to last, do you think? >> i think it's , going to, last >> i think it's, going to, last for about 48 hours. to be honest. mark obe could be one of the shortest honeymoons in history . and by the way, history. and by the way, apologies. i'm doing this from my car. i got caught out in east london on my way back to do your

show . so, i'm currently in the show. so, i'm currently in the middle of labour. beckton, if you like, but, it's . but you you like, but, it's. but you know, the problem is, you know, he's come in with a very low vote share, less votes for jeremy corbyn actually got in 2019. okay. he's got a massive majority, but there's not a lot of love there. he's got to start proving pretty quickly that he can deliver on his promises, but he won't do the things that the tories , warned he might. and you tories, warned he might. and you know, already we've got a hint that they're now looking at the taxes after, you know, all those weeks of saying, well, that £2,000 per household thing was wrong. well, let's hope it is wrong, frankly, because there's going to be a big issue in, trust in politics and there's a man who was not very far down the road from where i am today overin the road from where i am today over in essex, who i had a chat to today, who will be taking huge advantage of a vacuum left by the tories and any misstep by mr, sorry, by sir keir starmer ,

mr, sorry, by sir keir starmer, >> most definitely, briefly what did you make of keir starmer's press conference? will you was it a assured performance? what was your interpretation of how he did ? he did? >> i think to be honest, it was i'm here, i'm prime minister, this is this is me. i've got my team ready. we're ready to hit the ground running. and i think , the ground running. and i think, to be fair, that's what it was all about. he didn't really go into a huge amount of detail, which, frankly, he hasn't been for the last few months, especially the last six weeks, as i say, you know, there's a lot more to prove . i will be on lot more to prove. i will be on a flight with him next week as, as of a journalist will be when he goes over to washington to, meet the for the nato summit. so, you know , it's going to be so, you know, it's going to be an interesting few days . an interesting few days. >> most definitely. what about nigel farage? he, on the eighth time of trying, is now a member

of parliament. he's in the house of parliament. he's in the house of commons as a great platform for him. he's also got 4 million votes in his back pocket for reform uk. what is nigel farage's next move ? farage's next move? >> well, this is the big question because really the state of the tory party means that there's a huge vacuum there on the, on the right. >> well really for an opposition leader at the moment because we're not going to really have a proper opposition leader from conservative party for several months. maybe not till their conference, in late september, early october. and, you know, nigel, i think is going to play a huge role now. and, you know, he's only got five mps. he could have had more. he admitted that to me today had it not been for the, racism issue and some really bad choices for candidates, he admits, they might well have had as many as 25 mp5. might well have had as many as 25 mps. but, you know, i had a

cabinet minister or at last, on monday, saying to me, well, nigel, i only get a few mps. there won't be any really room for him in parliament. he won't be able to make as much of a stand there. but frankly , that's stand there. but frankly, that's not the point. nigel, doesn't really care about grandstanding in parliament. he wants to get out there . he'll be doing what out there. he'll be doing what he does best on the airwaves . he does best on the airwaves. i'm sure he will be back on gb news on social media, taking it to the people, as he puts it. and, you know, like him or not liking like, his policies or not, he's got a massive opportunity now to really establish himself. and i think the really important thing is as well is that they came second in a lot of seats. they're poised arguably to really take advantage in the next few years of any missteps from the major parties. and, you know, this could be it. so let's see. >> okay, david, look, it's going

to be a busy five years. it's going to be busy five days as we get used to this new government and this new prime minister safe journey home and be careful with those dogs. they can make the car shake. my thanks there to david maddox, the political editor of the independent. brilliant stuff. listen, folks, let's get through a couple of other stories. my top pundits this evening cod—zilla david and nina, a bit of drama at wimbledon. nina judy murray's jibe as emma ends andy's sw1 teen dream. now emma raducanu the of course, british tennis player she's won the us open a great talent. was going to do a doubles match with andy murray, and that would have been his last appearance at wimbledon as a player, and he's been robbed of that opportunity. reading between the lines, judy murray, his mother is not happy. >> i think emma raducanu, she's a very good tennis player. of course, i think she's a flaky little minx and she got far too much to get off that fence. far too much, too soon. she did win the us open and then after that,

the us open and then after that, the chanel deal. the this the that the and you know, since then she may or may not. i'm assuming she's got a problem with her wrist but but still even so i'm. >> well yeah. wasn't it. she got an achy wrist. i mean i've had that. i'll spare you the gory details as to why, but, you know, life's not easy, is it? trapped in a loveless marriage. what are you going to do? but the point is that this is a big letdown for andy murray. at the end of his career, you would have thought that emma raducanu could have managed a couple of games, you know, on one of those outer courts to give him a send off. >> david. the least she could have done would have been to turn up on court, get through the first set and then retire to allow to allow sir andy murray. there you go. like a like a procession. yes. and it would have been, i think, a graceful thing to have done. it would have been a kind thing to have done. this strikes me as a rather selfish thing that she's done for herself. not considering, sir. andy. >> now, look, that's a shocking remark from nina myskow that emma raducanu, one of our brightest starlets, is a flaky little minx.

>> i agree totally. if i was andy murray's mum, i'd have gone over to her and broken her other wrist. i'd be so furious right now . i would be so wrist. i'd be so furious right now. i would be so young woman. >> i mean, she's got . she might >> i mean, she's got. she might win. listen, you've been very harsh. she might win wimbledon this year. she's worked herself. >> they could have won the double set. >> really don't like her? i really, nina, you're saying i agree with that. i've never seen before. >> you've shocked me tonight. you voted lib dem. you don't like emma raducanu tell you you've changed a little bit. >> precious. >> precious. >> hahaha. there you go. well, listen, loved your company tonight. thank you so much to nina myskow, david aldridge, bolt and sajeela qureshi. come back and see us soon. thank you for your company as well. we're planning a very busy show tomorrow. we are so busy because we've got a new prime minister and a new government, which means a very special big opinion . means a very special big opinion. tomorrow take at ten and anne diamond anne diamond ann widdecombe is with me. and of course all your favourite other aspects of the show . thank you aspects of the show. thank you to the team for working so hard. let me tell you that headliners is next with your first look at tomorrow's newspaper front
