blair to our new prime tony blair to our new prime minister, sir keir starmer. i'm asking, is he right though? then will there be a reform youthquake? well, nigel farage seems to think so, stay tuned to find out exactly what he means by that. and it's come to light that the disastrous radio interview where he called himself a black woman was scripted with the president knowing exactly the questions he'd be asked . but is it time he'd be asked. but is it time for biden to just step . aside? for biden to just step. aside? but the show is nothing without you and your views, so let me know your thoughts on all the stories we were discussing today or anything you want to chat about. basically just visit gbnews.com/yoursay and join the conversation or message me on our socials. really easy @gbnews. but first, here's the news with ray addison and i'm on good behaviour so i'm not being

naughty. ray, take it away. >> thanks, dawn. 3:01. let's get to our top stories. the prime minister is beginning a uk tour as he tries to reset the relationship between westminster and the devolved nations. first up, sir keir starmer is heading to edinburgh, where he's expected to meet first minister john swinney. the pm says his government will place scotland at the beating heart of everything it does. he's also promised to turn his back on tribalism and usher in an era of stability and moderation . likely stability and moderation. likely contenders in the tory leadership battle are starting to emerge now, using newspaper articles and interviews to say what they think went wrong in the general election, former home secretary suella braverman said rishi sunak had run an idiotic strategy and needed to take a tougher line on reducing immigration. x immigration minister robert jenrick said failing to reduce those numbers was our biggest and most

damaging failure and former health secretary victoria atkins said the country was still instinctively conservative, with labour's support spread very thinly. quote, like margarine, suella braverman says the tories are facing an existential threat from reform uk. the former home secretary told gb news they lost hundreds of brilliant conservative mps because of nigel farage's party. she also said there's only room for one conservative party in british politics. she's urging her fellow mps to decide what type of party they are and, quote , of party they are and, quote, neutralise that threat. >> we lost hundreds of brilliant conservative mps because of reform, millions of our voters were betrayed and angry with the conservatives, and they went to an alternative reform. >> so i believe whoever's leading the party, whoever's in the party, needs to acknowledge this basic truth that we are facing an existential threat from reform, and we need to

change ourselves to ensure that we neutralise that threat, that we neutralise that threat, that we bring those people back home. >> well, reform uk chairman richard tice told us the tories have had their chance. >> well, look, i mean, our progress and success has been self—evident for the last six months. they will have the chance to join us, to defect to us like lee anderson did. they decided to stay in the existing conservative tent. and in a sense, you know, there are consequences to people's decisions. they made that decisions. they made that decision and in a sense, they paid the price. that's what competition is. all about. i mean, we came second in almost 100 seats across the united kingdom . we're now the dominant kingdom. we're now the dominant opposition in the north of england to the labour party. so we've made huge progress. and i come back, you know, competition is a fundamental conservative principle. they should believe in it. >> so tony blair is urging the new prime minister to come up with a plan to control immigration. writing in the sunday times, the former labour

leader advised sir keir starmer to introduce digital identity cards to help with border control. sir tony's own attempt to roll out id cards while in power was unsuccessful . england power was unsuccessful. england will face the netherlands in the euro semi—finals on wednesday after beating switzerland in germany last night. the three lions squeaked past the swiss on penalties five three after the game ended one all after extra time. the prince of wales was among football fans rejoicing as england won , describing the england won, describing the match as nail biting to the very end. in france, voters are heading to the polls for the second round of elections there, including french president emmanuel macron , who cast his emmanuel macron, who cast his ballot. the result is expected to reconfigure the political landscape with national rally likely to win the most votes but fall short of a majority. last sunday, marine le pen's party scored historic gains to win the first round. they've seen increased support off the back

of voter concerns over the cost of voter concerns over the cost of living and immigration in the us. heavy rain has hit parts of texas ahead of tropical storm beryl making landfall by monday morning. one eyewitness posted this video from houston , which this video from houston, which shows pouring water and strong winds . texas has issued winds. texas has issued a disaster declaration for 121 counties as the storm approaches. residents have been stocking up on fuel, food and water and put storm shutters up on buildings as well. a nasa crew has left their simulated mars habitat after more than a yearin mars habitat after more than a year in isolation. the four person team re—emerged at the johnson space centre in houston after conducting a series of experiments. during their mission, the crew grew and harvested vegetables. they went on mars walks and simulated communication delays with earth . communication delays with earth. two more missions are now planned, this two for 2525 and 2027. right? those are the latest gb news headlines. for

much forjoining us. this afternoon. looking lovely. it's not raining for once, olivia , not raining for once, olivia, now this is interesting, isn't it? this is tony blair again, some would say sticking his oar in, others would say offering kind advice and guidance. what do you make of it? >> well, it's a fascinating piece that tony blair has written in the sunday times today. he starts by congratulating keir starmer and pointing out the scale of his victory . but he then goes on to victory. but he then goes on to slightly more controversial ground. he points out that although labour has won this enormous majority, the rise of reform is pretty significant indeed. and of course, as we've all been saying for the last few days, labour's share of the vote is actually quite small just 35. in fact, only 3% more than corbyn won in 2019, when he was kicked out of for office being an utter failure. and what tony blair, the conclusion that he comes to is that although the country has resolutely chosen the left to govern, seemingly

just to punish the tories , just to punish the tories, really, there is signs that the political centre of gravity is moving to the right as as you've just heard in the headlines, is happening in france. so essentially what tony blair is advocating is for keir starmer to move to the right a little bit in his politics. so, for example, take a forward stance on immigration over the course of the campaign, keir starmer say pretty quiet about illegal immigration. and you can see why his route to number 10 was absolutely clear. the tories were tearing themselves apart. why would he stand up and talk about a controversial subject like immigration? and in the labour party it really is controversial. there are plenty of people who think that illegal immigration has got out of control, that the borders are essentially porous these days, and that labour must do something to tackle it. but there are plenty on the left of there are plenty on the left of the party who think that actually illegal migrants to this country should be offered asylum, something which keir starmer himself has suggested.

tony blair, the main purpose of this piece to, to me seemed to be warning keir starmer not to go too soft on immigration. i think over the next few weeks we're going to have to hear a lot more from keir starmer about what he plans to do about that notoriously difficult small boats problem . boats problem. >> and olivia, it's interesting the term of the phrase wokeism as well. what what do you think, tony blair meant by that ? tony blair meant by that? >> well, again , the three prongs >> well, again, the three prongs are about immigration law and order and wokeism. now those are three issues which traditionally the right is stronger on. keir starmer has a big problem really within his own party on the on the subject of sort of wokeism or the culture wars, whatever you like to call it there. personally, i think that keir starmer, reading between the lines of what he said, is probably on the kind of roughly the jk rowling wing of the argument when it comes to trans rights. but there are plenty in his party who firmly disagree with him, including,

importantly, his deputy prime minister, angela rayner. at the moment, as we've heard again and again, i interviewed keir starmer about it myself over the campaign. the labour party doesn't really have an answer about what it's going to do about what it's going to do about women's spaces. i'm using women's spaces as an example of a sort of culture war issue, because it is a particularly pertinent one. when you ask keir starmer what he's going to do, he says that women's spaces will be preserved under the equality act. and then you say, okay, so can a trans woman, a trans woman with male body parts. would they be allowed into a woman's bathroom under labour? and keir starmer doesn't really have an answer. tony blair this morning is warning him not to be vulnerable on that issue and issues like it, because it is an anathema to the public. >> very much so . olivia utley, >> very much so. olivia utley, thank you very much there for bringing us up to date on, tony blair getting involved with the new prime minister. okay. now let's see what my panel make of this. today i'm joined by a brilliant team today, proper

girl power going on here, political commentator joe phillips. and broadcaster and columnist claire muldoon. thank you very much , ladies, for you very much, ladies, for joining me, if i may call you that. indeed now, this is not the first time that tony blair has been involved, shall we say, in the modern day labour party. are you worried by him being involved in this one, claire? are you worried about how much advice he's giving to keir starmer in the labour party at the moment? joe. sorry, joe. that's all right. >> we're both looking like. yes, she said. >> claire looked at me. >> claire looked at me. >> yeah , okay. anyone will do. >> yeah, okay. anyone will do. right. okay. no, we're not worried about it. >> i mean, i think he's got a right to be involved and to have his say , whether or not keir his say, whether or not keir starmer listens to him, that's entirely up to him. >> i mean, i think, you know, if you go slightly deeper into what he's saying, as olivia said, and all the commentators have said, you know, it's a stunning landslide, but it's very narrow. what's actually happened is that you've seen tactical voting,

canny voting. you've seen the end of the massive majorities for any party, actually. so you know, some of the majorities are now down to just a few hundred or even less. >> very much so. >> very much so. >> so actually, you know , you >> so actually, you know, you haven't got the security, you know, you only need a couple of by elections and something. and it's not just reform. i mean, you know, i know everybody wants to talk about reform on gb news, but there are other parties. you know, the greens have got four, lib dems have got their most amazing success as well and the independents in the midlands. but i think this issue about wokeism, i think it's quite a sensible warning because the media, the bulk of the british media, the bulk of the british media, as you know, dawn is a, you know, fleet street legend, >> i was wondering what you were going to say there . going to say there. >> well, i was wondering what i was going to say, actually. but, you know, that'll do, but i think, you know, the, the papers have not been in favour of and while the papers have been deciding who to back in the tory party, they've also played their part in the pantomime wars that

has seen the demise of the tory party so i think what tony blair is saying is like, don't become a hostage to fortune so that you get sidetracked on these minor , get sidetracked on these minor, silly, not such important issues like, you know, i mean, it's not silly about women's spaces, but it is a very disproportionately loud protest and organised campaign by certain sections of the trans community, you know, there are other issues. there are housing, education, health, defence, all of those things. and i think what tony blair is trying to say is, you know, concentrate on those. don't let yourself get sidetracked, which i think is good advice. >> claire, what do you make of it? i'm not surprised that sir tony blair is entering into the fray of politics yet again , now fray of politics yet again, now that his party has been re—elected, regardless of the percentage vote given in our democratic, way of voting, people in first past the post, i

think that sir keir starmer, the prime minister, was very clear in his instruction from from the outset, basically, rwanda is done and dusted. now it is in the bin. he's sending a very clear message to us, the electorate, and indeed , you electorate, and indeed, you know, foreign nationals and the rest of the eu. it's how he deals with that, though, and i think tony blair's issuing of sound bites like, you know, what was it he said about, without rules we get prejudice, you know, and this populism move away from populism. he's really forgetting the fact that the red wall is these are very important issues for people living in the red wall constituents. these are very important issues for those that are losing their lives trying to cross the channel. these are very important rules. and regulations that need to be established in order to keep britain and britons safe, and it always feeds into the narrative of defence, of racism. and by

nature, into reform. now i find it very patronising that people are saying if you for vote reform then you're a racist. that's not true. i think there's racists in the labour party , racists in the labour party, there's racists in the conservatives, i think there's racists all over society. i had antisemitism certainly in the labour party and some very and i'm not condoning that at all. and i'm not minimising anything. however, i think tony blair, sorry , keir starmer has actually sorry, keir starmer has actually issued two very welcome , three issued two very welcome, three welcome introductions into his, into his inner echelons, one being james timpson for, rehab for a prison service , jacqui for a prison service, jacqui smith as well covering department of education in the house of lords, and alan milburn. i think he'll be a very welcome return to health, which is interesting. now, all tony blair favourites, weren't they? >> well, they were very successful people. i mean actually jacqui smith was gordon brown's appointment as the first female home secretary , actually, female home secretary, actually, but you know, i think these are people who have done the hard

yards and they've tackled with and actually, you know, the health service under alan milburn, you could argue. i mean, one of the things that olivia didn't talk about, that tony blair was banging on about quite a lot in this article was about al and how we should introduce and embrace technology . introduce and embrace technology. now, some of us are old enough to remember that he did try to do that in the health service. >> yeah, well , no, do that in the health service. >> yeah, well, no, in do that in the health service. >> yeah, well , no, in the health >> yeah, well, no, in the health service, he tried to bring in a sort of a completely sort of universal which many people , universal which many people, patients and health staff alike would agree is what you need. >> but it wasn't up to the job, and it cost a fortune. now, you know, if you have somebody with alan and it's not like these people have been sitting around doing nothing for the last 25 years, they've actually been doing stuff . so it makes sense doing stuff. so it makes sense to bring back people. and i completely agree with claire. you know, you bring in somebody like james timpson and for people who don't know, they'll certainly know his key cutting and, you know, cut the key to unlock the issues in our current day prison service and the reform and that third, when you

broke it down to thirds of people really ought to be in prison because of the heinous crimes they've committed. >> the second, third might not have to be there, but they've got perhaps mental health issues that have affected their choices in order to put them in prison. and then you've got the other third, mainly women . yeah, absolutely. >> well, and then you've got, you know, endless cuts to probation services or outsourcing to outsourcing to private companies to run prisons. >> yeah. i mean, are we surprised at what's going on there? the terrible sexuality of women, prison guards committing acts against men. it's just disgusting. >> well, and if you read rory stewart's book, which i thoroughly recommend to anyone who's interested in politics, politics on the edge rory stewart was a prisons minister in previous tory government, and he worked so hard and he details it in this. and, you know, to a certain extent, i suppose he was he says. he was sort of quite naive. but he said, look, there are really simple things we can do. like if we mend the windows,

we won't get drugs and things being thrown, thrown in, really simple stuff. but, you know, he got so far he had to get the prison officers, prison governors on board. and then he was reshuffled into the foreign office. and that is one of the problems. and i think what we will get from keir starmer, whether people like labour or not, we will get a period of stability and we will stop this endless revolving door of ministers, which would be nice and hopefully revolving door of prime ministers oh to, god, i hope so. >> yes, we hope so. >> well, there is one thing at least we didn't have to have a penalty shoot out in the election. >> oh >> oh yeah. >> oh yeah. today >> oh yeah. today i'm identifying. i'm identifying as english. yeah. yeah, absolutely. your children are english. >> so you are allowed identify as netherlands if you like . as netherlands if you like. claire for wednesday. >> right. >> right. >> okay . unfortunately we're out >> okay. unfortunately we're out of time on that. but all the best analysis and opinion on that story and more. just go to our website gb news. com now something to cheer you up, not just england taking penalties. even scottish people are happy. this one is even, even. it's time for the great british

welcome back to gb news sunday

with me. dawn neesom on your telly. online and on digital radio. hope you having a wonderful weekend out there now. nigel farage has said reform uk's dominance on social media has won it a rapidly growing following among the under 18 seconds who could boost the party's chances at the 2029 election. the reform leader said his party surge in popularity with young people had yet to convert into votes, as many were too young to actually go to the ballot this time round, which is really, really interesting. this is a story in the telegraph, i think, yesterday, and it's a fascinating story, isn't it, claire, because i wasn't even aware of this. i don't do tiktok. i'm not the generation that does tiktok, even though i'm same age as nigel farage, who does do tiktok and has got a huge following on it. and this is actually the amount of youngsters who are still too youngsters who are still too young to vote, but, you youngsters who are still too young to vote, but , you know, young to vote, but, you know, 15, 16, 17 year old mainly boys who are big fans of reform and nigel farage know there are, they are. and the other funny thing about this is that it was

before the general election on thursday, the reform party , thursday, the reform party, where the party that was the party of tiktok now , it's party of tiktok now, it's a very, very, very attuned thing for them to have done from a pr point of view because it's worked. they've engaged. but the reality is you've got journalists like beth rigby asking nigel farage, what do you think about andrew tate now? andrew tate , of course, is, in andrew tate, of course, is, in my view, an abhorrent creature of a man. but he has got a huge cachet amongst specifically young men because he preaches masculinity, doesn't he? toxic masculinity. he's a high grade misogynist. let's be honest. but nigel farage, you know , he's nigel farage, you know, he's very clever. he's a very clever man. he said . very clever. he's a very clever man. he said. i do think that he has got an impact on young men. not condoning, but not saying he's abhorrent. >> on the other hand, except the stuff he said about you know, oh, isn't it ridiculous telling people to go to football and not have a drink to not make you.

that's him knowing what he's doing. >> jul. >> jul. >> but, claire, you get into that. and to me and i think, you know , the three of us as women, know, the three of us as women, we know too many men who've gone, oh, for goodness sake, it's a bit of banter. get over yourself. and i think that's so unhealthy. >> i don't think that's particularly unhealthy as such. but what i do think is that things like the way that we vote in this country should be taught in this country should be taught in schools. oh, completely. >> you know. yes. >> you know. yes. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> draghi. yeah. because they have to know. they have to be, they have to buy in to what they have to do. i'm not in agreement of lowering the voting age down to 16, because i don't believe a 16 year old has got, you know, a formed mind enough to do to make that pivotal decision that will affect the next four years of their lives. and our lives as members of this society. however, i think it's wonderful that he's getting them engaged and as we rightly said, for reform and farage, it's mostly young lads, but for the green party, it's mostly young girls,

young women. this is a poll by jl partners, by the way, that would put reform in second place behind labour among 16 to 17 year old young men, with 23% saying they would vote for the party, and, you know, going back to what you were saying just now, joe, this would this was that comment about going to football and being a boy. boys will be boys. it took place in a boxing gym in clacton, which is obviously nigel's constituency. and he was saying, you know, talking about the emasculation of young men to a captive audience. and that's when he came out with the football quote, you know, go to germany, have a few beers, enjoy yourself, you know, and who's telling you you can't make jokes about the germans? of course you can. he as claire said, he's not sure he knows what he's doing. he knows how to talk to them. >> they might, but his followers don't always. and i think that isn't that quite a patronising thing to say, joe? not really. i mean, we saw it. they had to get rid of three candidates at least, who had said appalling things. i mean, you know, we we've talked about wokism just now and i know we're going to

talk later about the appalling attacks and threats of jess. on jess phillips female mps. if you go cast your mind back in time, you know, there was a time when all the papers were sneering at harriet harman, calling her harriet harman, calling her harriet ha person and moves for equality, which is about equal pay equality, which is about equal pay and, you know, things like that. actually, it was sneered at. so i think it's dangerous. i think you can say to people, oh , think you can say to people, oh, boys will be boys, that's okay. but they also need to understand that doesn't give them free reign . but on the upside of it, reign. but on the upside of it, i think anything that engages young people with politics is good. and i would, you know, personally, i would lower the age to 16, but i would make it compulsory. >> claire, you said you think it's quite patronising what joe said about young men not actually being able to make their minds. what do you mean by that, exactly? well, i just mean that, exactly? well, i just mean that we're forming these young characters, haven't you? i've got one lad. i've got three girls and my boys my youngest and i think it'd be quite

patronising for him to have received from the mainstream media. look, you know, what this man said is wrong. don't media. look, you know, what this man said is wrong . don't take man said is wrong. don't take his view form your own if you're asking them to form their own, they're going to come up with surely their parents and from their home they should have the values and the virtues in order for them to live and live extremely well and very good, kind lives. so for all this bluster about, yeah, you go to the footy, boys will be boys there is a differential here and i'm afraid it's had to come back to maybe this hostile , to maybe this hostile, misogynistic, sexist language in order for the boys to actually find out a place where they are in society, because at the moment, a lot of them are disenfranchised and they don't have their place, they don't know what to do. they don't know how to behave, they don't know which way they're supposed to behave. for fear. no, no, for fear, joe, of being cancelled or being shouted at or being called names. >> yes, that's fine, but i think, you know what i'm saying is that it's all very well for

somebody of 60 who is, you know, he's a smart communicator , but he's a smart communicator, but not everybody is. and there are people out there, let's say frank hester for instance. you know, let's move away from reform talk about a man who gave millions of pounds to the tory party said appalling things about diane abbott, and it took days for rishi sunak to even condemn it as racist and misogynist. and i think there is a there is a there is a tendency amongst certain groups of people who go, oh, that's all right. i wasn't being offensive. i wasn't being racist, i wasn't being misogynist . and i think claire's misogynist. and i think claire's absolutely right. we do need to support and help young people going through the absolute, you know, labyrinth of what's going on, on social media. and we know what's going on with. >> it's interesting you say that you would give the vote to 16 year olds, but at the same time, you're also saying that they are in a slightly aslef, slightly patronising way. they're not

together enough to make up their mind what nigel farage is saying to them. >> but but i think that goes back to what claire said, which i agree with. it needs to be taughtin i agree with. it needs to be taught in schools. you know, you can go to a primary school and you can have , you know, the you can have, you know, the teacher will say, right, sorry, what do you mean needs to be taughtin what do you mean needs to be taught in schools. the understanding of politics with a small p and engagement and collaboration and having conversations that mean a quid pro quo. so you get a group of primary school children, you say, it's friday afternoon, it's raining. we're going to watch a film. who wants to watch finding nemo? who wants to watch frozen, whatever it is. and they understand the principle of, you know, more people voted for nemo, you know? so it's a sort of inbuilt thing. but if you grow up without anybody actually talking about politics other than saying, oh, they're all the same, it's not going to make any difference. it's really hard for young people to find out what happensin young people to find out what happens in politics. well, according to you think it cancelled if they, if they take, if they take instruction or they

take advice from someone like nigel farage. >> well, especially if they're male. well, let's move away from nigel farage for a little bit and look at, you know, if you look back, jeremy corbyn appeared at glastonbury . appeared at glastonbury. >> he got a huge youth following tom watson . tom watson. >> i unfortunately i am actually going to have to call time on this one, but we can come back to it later on. thank you very much ladies, because we are running out of time on that one for now, i'm dawn neesom gb news sunday. there's loads more coming up on today's show, but first here is those headlines with let me see the lovely ray addison . addison. >> thanks, dawn. >> thanks, dawn. >> 132 the prime minister is >>132 the prime minister is beginning a uk tour as he tries to reset the relationship between westminster and the devolved nations. first up, sir keir starmer is heading to edinburgh, where he's expected to meet first ministerjohn swinney. the pm says his government will place scotland back at the beating heart of everything we do. he's also promised to turn his back on

tribalism and usher in an era of stability, likely contenders in the tory leadership battle are starting to emerge now, using newspaper articles and tv interviews to say what they think went wrong. former home secretary suella braverman said rishi sunak had run a, quote, idiotic strategy and needed to take a tougher line on reducing immigration. x immigration minister robert jenrick said failing to reduce those numbers was, quote, our biggest and most damaging failure. and former health secretary victoria atkins said the country was still instinctively conservative, with labour support spread very thinly. she said, quote, like margarine , suella braverman says margarine, suella braverman says the tories are facing an existential threat from reform uk. the former home secretary told us they lost hundreds of brilliant conservative mps because of nigel farage's party. she also said there's only room for one tory party in british politics. she's urging her fellow mps to decide what type

of party they want to be, and neutralise that threat . england neutralise that threat. england will face the netherlands in the euro semi—finals on wednesday after beating switzerland in germany last night. the three lions squeaked past the swiss on penalties five three after the game ended one all after extra time. prince of wales was among football fans rejoicing as england won , describing the england won, describing the match as nail biting to the very end. 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 . forward slash alerts. >> thank you ray, who's back in half an hour and is really looking forward to it. now remember, let me know. you have been so naughty to ray over the

>> welcome back to gb news sunday with me . dawn neesom on sunday with me. dawn neesom on

your telly. online and on digital radio. i'll be sitting, gossiping about the weather. isn't it depressing? that's not what we were talking about, dawn. >> we were talking about. >> we were talking about. >> we were talking about. >> we weren't talking about the weather. >> no , we weren't talking about >> no, we weren't talking about the weather. >> we weren't. >> we weren't. >> we weren't. i >> we weren't. i think >> we weren't. i think there's two of us against one of you. we were not talking about the weather. >> we weren't talking about the weather. >> we weren't talking about ray ehhen >> oh, well, no, we can't, we can't. no, we were talking about we were talking about good places to eat and drink around the country and the weather. let's see what i've got to work with this afternoon. no wonder if i get the blooming names right . okay. i am still got right. okay. i am still got claire muldoon. that's that one. and joe phillips, that one with me in the studio. not for much longer though. now, with the dust settling after the election, we can focus on some of the more troubling elements that came from what labour mp jess phillips described as a horrible campaign. she secured re—election in her birmingham yardley seat but faced heckles and boos as she gave her acceptance speech. here's what she had to say after that ordeal

was an absolutely horrible campaign. the most aggressive, most intimidatory, not just of me, but of the people in my constituency, people being intimidated, people being told that god, will judge them if they vote a certain way, which is an electoral offence. and, yeah, it's been pretty awful. some of my activists had their tyres slashed on election day . i tyres slashed on election day. i know i watched jo's speech and this isn't about politics. i don't care which side you support in this one. by the way, this is about a humanity. yeah, absolutely. it's about women, mostly being targeted by men, and what jo had to say in particular really struck home. and you watched her acceptance speech and she was heckled by men in the audience. very, very intimidating. and she's not the only one, claire, i mean, as a woman and as a person, a human being, human being, it was upsetting. it was disgusting. absolutely disgusting. but i think we have to look at through the lens of this as well. and i

think i'm going to bring in postal voting about this. some of the postal votes that may have been, voted for by some of the women who are married to these men. i don't even want to call them men who were making comments like that and who really were. and they are free of jess, constituency trail her. appalling. how many of those women might have been coerced into, making votes that they didn't want to vote? how many women might not have actually have seen their voting card? that's not me being racist. i'm not being islamophobic. i'm actually being a realist. and in terms of tony blair mentioning things about populism and without regulations, then we get prejudice . well, i'm sorry, he's prejudice. well, i'm sorry, he's right. we need rules in place. we need far and fast rules. we had the murder of jo cox, the murder of david amess. i was lamenting the fact that there was no actual canvassing during this general election, and a lot of people would have been going into the voting booth not recognising any of the names

that were to put across. that notwithstanding the fact that the first time voters might actually have been looking for where's keir starmer's name? where's, rishi sunak's name or the rest of them, but this, this open , this open hatred, this open, this open hatred, this hope and violation of women is abhorrent. and this to put this in context, it did seem to happenin in context, it did seem to happen in many of the constituencies with a higher muslim population. it was that's fact. absolutely, and sort of labour actually lost five seats to and a lot of pro—palestinian supporters . exactly, but shabana supporters. exactly, but shabana mahmood in birmingham ladywood also described it as a horrible. >> yes. it's appalling. >> yes. it's appalling. >> it's dreadful. i mean, you know, when i was knocking around westminster 300 years ago with the dinosaurs, 250 there. >> oh, you're right, actually, yes. but you know, there were the trailblazers, if you like. >> i mean, you know, people like shirley williams, people like clare short, people like barbara castle going back even further,

you know, and they were people who fought their way into parliament. they fought their way in barbara castle's case, through the trade unions. they fought their way through terrible, old fashioned , terrible, old fashioned, misogynistic political parties. >> they never complained, though. jul >> no, they didn't complain. and i mean, this is a thing where in the past they learnt to have sharp elbows and knee in the groyne at a party conference and that thing. but social media has made it ten times worse. one of the most, compelling, made it ten times worse. one of the most, compelling , concession the most, compelling, concession speechesi the most, compelling, concession speeches i heard on election night i was broadcasting all night i was broadcasting all night was bill wiggins, who's the tory candidate? was the tory mp for over 20 something years in hertfordshire north now he lost to ellie chowns, the green, and he lost a 25,000 majority. but the thing that he said in a very, very gracious concession speech was that she must be

allowed to go about her business and still deal with the constituency and constituency members of all parties , people members of all parties, people who voted, people who didn't vote, people who supported the greens, who didn't. and, you know, and he mentioned david amess and jo cox. and i thought that was really fantastic, you know, and unfortunately, i think politics largely, you know, social media and the mainstream media has fuelled this divisive, nasty , offensive, take offence, nasty, offensive, take offence, get something out there. >> do you think that's because people are disillusioned and disenfranchised with politics and politicians, because they've not been as robust and as legitimate in their claims, and the way they've gone about their own one personal life and two professional life that people are actually just sickened by them. and i'm in no way minimising what's happened to jesse.i minimising what's happened to jesse. i mean, in general, it's part of that. >> but i think, you know, there is a default position. you asked anybody who works in a shop who works in a petrol station, who

works in a petrol station, who works in a pub or a restaurant, and they will tell you that since covid, people have become so rude. rude? >> yes. >> yes. >> so there is that. i mean , >> so there is that. i mean, driving is so much more aggressive and the default position is never to go after you . it's oh, i've got right of you. it's oh, i've got right of way, you know, you see people, little things driving, they won't stop to let another car through. their automatic reaction is to just very quickly. >> ladies, how much do you think this has to do with the cultural differences between, in this case, the muslim community and, and sort of like you know, the western way of living huge and i would actually like to see an academic essay written about immigration, the fact the impact of immigration on democracy, because this is this is starting to impact on democracy. these attitudes from predominantly muslim men in, really strong, cuckolded, constituent's constituencies that are, that are being allowed, you know, to comment on this. are being allowed, you know, to comment on this . but in there

comment on this. but in there i would rather they actually do it and we can report it than them doing it underhand and we not see it happening. i would rather that we know what we're dealing with. unfortunately, we ran out of time on that one. but let us know what you think it is. as i said, if you watch the jess phillips clip is actually online, if you want to have a look at it, it's actually very upsetting if you believe in democracy now! i'm dawn neesom and this is gb news sunday and there's lots more coming up on today's show. it's come to light that the disastrous radio interview where joe biden called himself a black woman was scripted, with the president knowing exactly the question to be asked. so should he just step aside? all of that and much more to come. this is gb news

hello. welcome back to gb news sunday with me. dawn neesom on your telly. online and on digital radio. i hope you're having an absolutely wonderful weekend out there. now, more bad

news for biden, it's come to light that the disastrous radio interview where he called himself a black woman was scripted, with the president actually knowing exactly the questions he'd be asked. let's remind ourselves of what he said. >> 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. >> ooh, now we know what he meant by that, don't we? he was talking about sort of like kamala harris is his deputy. but he just got a bit confused as well. i mean, what do you think when you hear him at the moment? joe? >>i joe? >> i think it's really sad. and it's not an age thing. he's the same age, as i keep saying. he's the same age as paul mccartney. you know, he could be in the rolling stones. yeah absolutely. and it is quite clear that , you and it is quite clear that, you know, there is something terribly, terribly wrong, i think his wife, doctor jill biden, maybe, you know, the baddie in all of this. she could

be the lady macbeth because anybody who cared about somebody would not subject them to this ridicule. and it's almost as though, you know, i know it's a different system in america where here there would be the men and women in grey suits going around and saying, look, it's going around and saying, look, wsfime going around and saying, look, it's time to stand down. but you know , the democrats should have know, the democrats should have had somebody lined up when he was elected, the last time around so that they'd got a succession. and here we are just weeks away , literally. it's weeks away, literally. it's awful. and, you know, the threat of trump is shocking. >> and the debate we had the other day , we heard all that. other day, we heard all that. and that was embarrassing as well . terribly elections in well. terribly elections in november. we're running out of time now . i never subscribed to time now. i never subscribed to the yoko ono theory that it's always there's a woman behind a man doing something wrong , but i man doing something wrong, but i mean, it's is it jill biden? i mean, it's is it jill biden? i mean , surely, you know, crazy, mean, surely, you know, crazy, power crazed lady macbeth? biden i think it is. i really , really i think it is. i really, really do sit on the fence more. claire. you always say that to me . there are no fences @gbnews.

me. there are no fences @gbnews. you know that i'd get a splinter otherwise, no, seriously , it's otherwise, no, seriously, it's really wrong. and it is incredibly sad. as joe has said , incredibly sad. as joe has said, it's, you know, it's this is going to be he is the leader of the free world. even cnn, that is mostly democratic. of course, we've got fox, that are more republican in nature and in output . this republican in nature and in output. this is not republican in nature and in output . this is not rocket output. this is not rocket science. this is not front page news. the whole world can see what's happening in american politics at the moment. and you would want time. you would want joe biden to be more than a meme. and unfortunately, that is what he's becoming. what do we make of the fact that joe biden got in in touch with our new prime minister? keir starmer congratulations. but donald trump simply just congratulated nigel farage. >> well, does it surprise you? i mean, you know, the thing is, donald trump first time round was bad enough, but he'd got relatively sensible people around him this time round. he won't have he'll only have

crazies. and it is very, very dangerous for the rest of the world. >> and trump, since that debate is, is the polls are widening well of course, yeah, trump will be the next president of the united states. and whether it be behind bars or not, such as their statute. and this is the trump our our new foreign secretary, david lammy, called basically a nazi. oh, well look, don't bring david lammy into it as foreign secretary. hang on a minute. as foreign secretary, you would hope that he'd be able to find countries he can't even find a cervix. ladies, we have to avoid talking about more of that later that i'm dawn neesom as gb news more importantly, let's find out what the weather is doing, shall we? here's jonathan. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello there. welcome to your latest gb news. weather forecast provided by the met office. we've had some showers around today and they'll be continuing on as we head into this

afternoon and evening. some of them still on the sharp side for them still on the sharp side for the next few hours or so. so do just watch out for those. but they'll be easing their way off as we head into this evening and over night. quite clear skies for many of us, with a few mist and fog patches possible and underneath those clear skies as well, temperatures will be dropping their way off quite a bit. a chilly night for the start of july. towns and cities still around 9 to 11 c, but rural spots, perhaps even as low as 3 to 5 c. so nippy to start off the new working week. but for many of us, particularly the northern half of the uk, it will be quite a bright start to the new working week away from the far north of scotland, where there will be a bit more cloud around some outbreaks of rain and drizzle in there, but certainly for much of scotland, northern ireland, northern england there will be some sunshine to kick off the day, a few showers eventually developing as we head into the latter stages of the morning and the afternoon in the south, though, we are going to be watching as this rain slowly pushes its way in, it will be turning quite bleak and gloomy for southern areas of england and eventually into southern wales as well later on, and the rain will slowly push its way in from the south, with some brisk

winds developing. perhaps 3035 mile an hour. gusts along the southern coast of england later on into the afternoon, feeling quite cool underneath that persistent cloud and rain temperatures. perhaps not climbing as as much as 15 or 16 c, but further north, where we see the sunshine, actually might see 2020 one degrees celsius. that's more around where we should be for this stage of the year. the rain in the south is all due to this area of low pressure that is sweeping its way in from the southwest . it is going to make southwest. it is going to make very slow progress northwards as we head throughout the end of monday and eventually into tuesday , but it will be tuesday, but it will be eventually moving its way into wales and then as we move into the overnight period, northern england, northern ireland and potentially scotland later on. so certainly from tuesday onwards it's looking at more widely unsettled with rain and showers. for many of us, perhaps a little bit drier as we head towards the end of the week. firstly onwards by by looks like things are heating up . things are heating up. >> boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news . weather on gb news. >> thank you very much.

honestly, it's all going on here. thank you very much jonathan. and there's loads more coming up on today's show. it's really quite fun right now. sunak had idiotic policies and tories took voters for mugs. suella braverman takes aim at the former prime minister as she potentially launches her leadership campaign. ooh, all of that. and much more to come. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news britain's news channel. put the kettle on, grab a beer. don't go too far though. see

suella braverman takes aim at the former prime minister as she potentially launches her leadership campaign. then are we being dragged back into the eu already, berlin's foreign ministry says the new labour government is already working with germany to see how britain can move closer to the eu. oh, is this the beginning of the eu referendum? two oh, don't go there. and it was another nail biting match for the three lions. england have made it to euro 2024 semi—finals after a dramatic win against switzerland on penalties. we'll be getting your reactions to victory . but your reactions to victory. but this show is nothing without you and your views, so let me know your thoughts on all the stories we're discussing today or just have a chat. basically, it's really easy. visit gbnews.com/yoursay and join the conversation or message me on our socials, which is even eafienl our socials, which is even easier. i remember it, it's

@gbnews. but first i've got to be good, be good and be good. here's the news with the very lovely ray addison. sorry ray . lovely ray addison. sorry ray. >> contacting air . it's 2:01. >> contacting air. it's 2:01. our top stories this hour. the prime minister is beginning a uk tour as he travels to reset the relationship between westminster and the devolved nations. first up, sir keir starmer is heading to edinburgh, where he's expected to meet first minister john swinney. pm says his government will place scotland back at the beating heart of everything we do. he's also promised to turn his back on tribalism and usher in an era of stability and moderation. likely contenders in the tory leadership battle are starting to emerge, as we've been hearing using newspaper articles and interviews to say what they think went wrong. former home secretary suella braverman said that rishi sunak had run an idiotic strategy and needed to take a tougher line on reducing

immigration. well x immigration minister robert jenrick said failing to reduce those numbers was our biggest and most damaging failure, and former health secretary victoria atkins said the country was still instinctively conservative and that labour's support was spread very thinly. quote. like margarine , suella braverman says margarine, suella braverman says the tories are facing an existential threat from reform uk former home secretary told gb news they lost hundreds of brilliant conservative mps because of nigel farage's party. she also said there's only room for one conservative party in british politics. she's urging her fellow mps to decide what type of party they are and, quote, neutralise that threat . quote, neutralise that threat. >> we lost hundreds of brilliant conservative mps because of reform . reform. >> millions of our voters were betrayed and angry with the conservatives and they went to an alternative reform. so i believe whoever's leading the party, whoever's in the party, needs to acknowledge this basic

truth that we are facing an existential threat from reform , existential threat from reform, and we need to change ourselves to ensure that we neutralise that threat, that we bring those people back home. >> well, reform uk chairman richard tice told us the tories have actually had their chance . have actually had their chance. >> well, look, i mean, our progress and success has been self—evident for the last six months. they will have the chance to join us, to defect to us like lee anderson did. they decided to stay in the existing conservative tent and in a sense, you know, there are consequences to people's decisions. they made that decision, and in a sense, they paid the price. that's what competition is all about. i mean, we came second in almost 100 seats across the united kingdom. we're now the dominant opposition in the north of england to the labour party. so we've made huge progress. and i come back, you know, competition is a fundamentally conservative principle. they should believe in it. >> so tony blair is urging the new pm to come up with a plan to

control immigration. writing in the sunday times, the former labour leader advised sir keir starmer to introduce digital identity cards to help with border control. sir tony's own attempt to roll out id cards while in power was unsuccessful. the funeral of former rugby england international rob burrow is taking place in pontefract. the 41 year old died on june the 2nd after a lengthy battle with motor neurone disease. today's service coincides with the date that leeds rhinos celebrate rob burrow day , due to the number burrow day, due to the number seven shirt that he wore during his rugby league career. members of the public are lining the roadside to pay their respects as the funeral cortege makes its way to the service . england will way to the service. england will face the netherlands in the euro semi—finals on wednesday after beating switzerland in germany last night. the three lions squeaked past the swiss on penalties five three after the game ended, one all after extra

time. the prince of wales was there rejoicing as england won. describing the match as nail biting to the very end in france, voters are heading to the polls for the second round of elections , including french of elections, including french president emmanuel macron, who cast his ballot earlier on today. the result is expected to reconfigure the political landscape , with national rally landscape, with national rally likely to win the most votes but still fall short of a majority. last sunday, marine le pen's party scored historic gains to win the first round. they've seen increased support off the back of voter concerns over the cost of living and immigration. a nasa crew has left their simulated mars habitat after more than a year of isolation. the four person team re—emerged at the johnson space centre in houston after conducting a series of experiments. during their mission, the crew grew and harvested vegetables. they went on mars walks and also simulated

communication delays with earth. two more missions are planned in 2025 and 2027. 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 . >> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> he is indeed ray addison and i thought he read those beautifully, didn't you? okay, now let's get stuck into today's story, shall we? suella braverman has said that the conservatives deserved their historic election defeat in an intervention that will be seen as laying the groundwork for her leadership bid. the former home secretary accuses rishi sunak of pursuing an idiotic strategy and suggests that some of her colleagues treated voters like mugs. but is this a thinly

veiled leap to leadership? she was on camilla tominey programme earlier on gb news this morning, where camilla asked her that very question. >> can we just cut to the chase? are you standing? >> oh gosh , i know camilla. >> oh gosh, i know camilla. >> oh gosh, i know camilla. >> you want you want the drama. you want the headlines ? i'm you want the headlines? i'm going to have to disappoint you. why? no announcements? listen why, why, why are you holding back? >> because it's obvious from your speech when you won your seat on thursday night, early friday morning, it's been obvious from some of the op eds you've written before the election. it's certainly obvious from what you've written in the sunday telegraph today that you are to use the press expression on manoeuvres. so why not just confirm that you want to lead the party? >> listen, because unlike 2019, and unlike in 2022, we are we have the luxury of being in opposition. >> there is no urgency to install a new leader. what is urgent and absolutely essential now is that we as a party, reflect and accept what got us

into this existentially damaging situation and at the moment, that's what concerns me the most. there is still disagreement. there are many of my colleagues, both inside parliament and outside, who believe that we just need to do more of the same. >> interesting . she didn't say >> interesting. she didn't say no, did she? that's suella braverman being questioned by camilla tominey on today's camilla's show about whether she wants to be the next conservative leader. joining me now is gb. news, political correspondent olivia utley, who is looking slightly sort of wet. and it's raining again, isn't it? olivia >> yeah, i'm feeling a little bit bedraggled this morning. suella braverman. it sounds is very much on manoeuvres. i expect she will stand as leader of the conservative party, but she's probably right to say that the conservatives need to take stock now, and that there is no urgency about it. i've heard that line echoed quite a lot among conservative mps and

thinkers in recent days , when thinkers in recent days, when there is eventually a conservative leadership race, i suspect it will be suella braverman priti patel, tom tugendhat , all these names that tugendhat, all these names that we've heard from the past, probably kemi badenoch as well. and when it does come to that , and when it does come to that, it'll be like a sort of fight for the soul of the conservative party, because there are two ways that the conservative party can look now. they could say, on the one hand, that they lost 250 seats in the last election, in 166 of those seats, the reform, the reform vote was higher than the reform vote was higher than the conservative majority. so if you tack to the right, as it were, get tougher on immigration. perhaps promised to leave the echr then you could get all of those reform votes back potentially, and win another election. or there are other mps within the party on the more one nation side of the party, who will point out that the lib dems won 72 seats in the south east and the south west? former sort of conservative heartlands, and most of those

seats they did win off the conservatives. so you could argue that it's time to tack to the left, go more into the centre ground and this is going to be the fight that will be raging in the conservative party for the next few months. my instinct is that rishi sunak will actually hold on for quite a while, and i suspect the earliest we could see a new conservative leader installed would be party conference, and the only person who's actively ruled themselves out is jeremy hunt. >> isn't it? >> isn't it? >> it is. jeremy hunt has said that he won't be standing. he says that time has passed. he won in the end. his surrey seat with a wafer thin majority of just 891. i think it was the lib dems were targeting that seat. he did manage to cling on, but i think he knows, as does rishi sunak, that there really needs to be some distance between this government, which has led the party, whether it's whether it's rishi sunak and jeremy hunt's fault or not. this is the government that has led the party to its worst defeat in its history. and i think jeremy hunt

and sunak both understand that there needs to be some distance between them and whatever comes next. >> olivia utley, thank you very much. i've gone to sort of get dry, have a cup of tea somewhere. olivia, thank you very much. joining us from the rain sodden streets of westminster. now let's see what my panel make of this. i still have the wonderful clare muldoon and joe phillips with me. suella braverman never held back, has she? clare this is fairly strong interview in the telegraph today. tories deserve to lose. well, they did and they did. i mean, it's not rocket science, is it? and she doesn't need to be sherlock holmes nor doctor watson to investigate why it happened. they imploded publicly by themselves. it was the backbenchers that actually were trying to hold the party together. i don't think the question is whether or not suella braverman will enter the fray and add her hat into the mix to become the leader of the conservatives. as far as i'm concerned, at the moment, it's a bit of a poisoned chalice

because they've got no direction at the moment. and the question is, however , will she join is, however, will she join reform? and from what i heard her say, physically on the tv andindeed her say, physically on the tv and indeed what she's written , i and indeed what she's written, i actually think that's there's a bigger gain there for her. and indeed reform if she were to join reform than take the leadership of the conservative party. >> well, i've been saying that for months that she was in fact, i'm surprised she didn't go to reform before the election. but you know, now they she's held her seat. she's held her seat and she's seen that the reform have done quite well. not as well as predicted, maybe, but they've done quite well. they've got a place and i think i agree with claire. i think i mean she has got no self—awareness. that woman, she was part of the problem and i think there are many, many she though she was named after suella from dallas. i thought she was. what more do you want? cruella de vil? >> oh, i shuffle papers, shuffle papers, papers. >> i mean, she was so horrible

and so brutal in her comments. and, you know, this is a woman who's supposed to in particular. oh, comments about, protesters comments about, immigrants comment, comments about, you know, the sort of woke stuff that she didn't like. she's supposed to be a lawyer. she was the attorney general before she was home secretary. most of the stuff that she brought in, legally has proved to be legally invalid. i mean, this is a woman who seemed to think that it was to okay come up with the idea of bringing in a law to stop locking on without the common sense and awareness that actually, if it wasn't for the suffragettes who had locked on themselves to protest, she wouldn't have got into parliament. she wouldn't have been able to vote. >> many people would say, yeah, despite her being a lawyer, she actually spoke sort of like, you know, spoke to people. yeah, absolutely. spoke to the people. she said, well, a lot of people out there are thinking certainly with the whole immigration thing ,

with the whole immigration thing, she had her optic dial bang on that lens in which she spoke through. oh, she did, joe. she really did. >> i think she's i think i mean, she won her seat. for sure, but i think, you know, she is the embodiment of the tory party moving to the right, following nigel farage and reform. >> what about then the labour party and keir starmer when he was head of the cps, when rape convictions actually went down on his watch? i mean, there's a lot to be said for, you know, which side and i hate the term . which side and i hate the term. we're not talking right or left. i hate that term. and i think it's become so disingenuous that people just label people that they don't like the opinions of as, oh , you're right wing or as, oh, you're right wing or you're left wing. well, why can't we be meet somewhere in the middle? and i actually think that's why the lib dems have done so well in this election. they've come third, 63% change. yeah, 12.2% of the election of the of the vote in this country against the conservatives 23.7 and can i just say as a matter

of in memoriam, how wonderful it is that charles kennedy's old constituency went back to lib dem. yes. from the disgraceful ian blackwood and that disgraceful cabal of the snp. but do you think people are voting for the lib dems because of their policy, or are they just voting because they can't bnng just voting because they can't bring themselves to vote for the conservatives? >> the thing i think they were voting for the lib dems because the lib dems locally correct me if i'm wrong. well, haven't worked for the lib dems for an awfully long time. i mean, i worked for paddy ashdown and worked for paddy ashdown and worked with charles kennedy, so ihear worked with charles kennedy, so i hear what you say, people were voting for them, and i think they took a bold decision to have the silly stunt, but they got the coverage. but what they stuck to were two very clear messages social care and sewage. and neither of the other parties were talking about not even the green party. no. and none of them were talking about that. and as clare rightly says, they build their base from the bottom up locally. >> they did really well, which i wish most of them would. >> and the difference that it will make by having 73 mps means

that they will a they will get an automatic question at prime minister's question time , but it minister's question time, but it also means that they will have members on select committees, which, you know, for those we need them know select committees are actually the best bits of parliament because where it's properly held to account. so they will continue and they work hard. i mean, you know, in the old days when i was working for the liberal democrats and working for paddy ashdown, other, other parties used to say, once you get the lib dems in locally, it's like dog poo on the pavement. you can never get rid get rid of them. >> no, they do concentrate on local issues. it has to be said. absolutely. that's what you have to do and that's what you know . to do and that's what you know. >> i know we're talking endlessly about reform , but they endlessly about reform, but they need to recognise those new five. i think richard tice his because he's now looking for a home in his constituency, maybe. but you know, they've got to deal with the boring. they've got to have the day to day and it's that that has kept some people in by a wafer thin majority because people respect

them for being a good constituency mp. >> but they're also quite they're also known as nimbys though when it with regards to planning. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well we need we need this is going to be really interesting stuff over the next couple of years. actually i think if we need more houses, yes, we do with the labour party's plan to override some of the local plans , override some of the local plans, but there are ways that you can do it. >> i mean, for instance , we know >> i mean, for instance, we know that since covid and slightly before covid, the bottom's fallen out of retail. you look at town centres around the country, empty buildings , empty country, empty buildings, empty shops that could be turned into housing. no, absolutely. so you can change planning rules to allow change of use. >> there have been a few examples of that already in london, and unfortunately the developers, because it's profit before person in my view, which is wrong . yeah. so wrong. a lot is wrong. yeah. so wrong. a lot of these buildings, the aircon, a lot of the electrical circuits are built in series , which means are built in series, which means if one of them's off, then they're all off. we need architects, professional architects, professional time planners. we need people. we need home. economists even

brought to in help devise and plan. this is such a crucial, crucial thing. >> i think labour will do that. and interestingly, there's another name we were talking about bringing people in from the past. nick boles , who was a the past. nick boles, who was a conservative minister, housing and planning minister. sorry. nick boles. right, and he is being talked of as coming in to help labour with their planning policy because, you know, it's so fragmented around the country. and you're right, it does come down to nimbyism, but but it's not nimbyism. if you're saying put the infrastructure in first before you build the house. well, they try to put the infrastructure in first with 2x2 and look where that is. >> okay. right. let's shuffle papers, girls. shuffle papers shuffling. >> right? >> right? >> yeah . we're not shuffling >> yeah. we're not shuffling papers just yet. we're giving money away, which is even better, for the best analysis and opinion on story. stop. it used to, the analysis and opinion on that story and much more. please go to our website @gbnews. com. now it is time to

matter across the uk. >> from breaking news and insightful analysis. inspiring stories and lively debates. >> you're comparing yourself to a former prime minister. >> which is it? >> which is it? >> stay informed. >> stay informed. >> stay informed. >> stay updated. >> stay updated. >> stay updated. >> stay entertained . i just >> stay entertained. i just don't know how anyone would not want to be there. >> every weekday from midday we are. >> good afternoon britain only on gb. >> news, britain's news channel. hey . hey. >> welcome back to gb news sunday with me dawn neesom on your telly, online and on digital radio now. by the way, i'm just going to read this out first. by the way, this is patricia. hello, patricia. thank you very much for watching. don't stop saying tell me your thoughts when you never read them out. well, patricia, i've just read yours out. so please do keep them coming in because we do love you. it's just that there's so many of you. it's like finding the really good ones to read out. and patricia was particularly good though. so we have read you out patricia. so but keep them coming in, now

we have to talk about the eu, don't we? we have to. it's in the contract once a day, are we being dragged back into it? berlin's foreign ministry says the new labour government is already working with germany to see how britain can move closer to the eu. new foreign secretary david lammy says we are not going to rejoin the single market and the customs union, but there is much that we can do together. the trouble is, do you actually believe him, i'm going to come to you first on this one, joe, that's very complimentary about you . complimentary about you. actually, no, it's not. i'm not reading that one out. joe. go on, read out. no, no, no no no. is it. it might mention macbeth. is it. it might mention macbeth. is it. it might mention macbeth. is it from re. >> is it from ray ray's mum? >> is it from ray ray's mum? >> it's not ray's. it's not ray ray addison. i love who he may have been teasing his mum, so let's talk about rejoining the eu because, i mean, there are there are hints of it today that . there are hints of it today that. >> well, you know, that's just nonsense. that's just mischief. a telegraph. >> it's not me. >>— >> it's not me. >> it's not me. >> i know, but, you know, it's what they expect. i mean, how long are they going to go? oh, this is going to happen under laboun this is going to happen under labour. it's over. the elections

happened. labour. it's over. the elections happened . what needs to happen happened. what needs to happen now is to give them a chance to see whether they can deliver. after 14 years of utter chaos and shambles, and which did involve the lib dems, by the way, we're talking about them earlier. yeah, the lib dems had their part to play in the coalition for sure. absolutely. and they were punished at the ballot box for it. true. but you know they've come back good and strong as we just said. but i think it is quite obvious that we need to have better trading relationships with europe . relationships with europe. >> that's not our fault. we don't have europe got very funny over the divorce and they were behaved like spoilt children. >> no part of the problem, clare, is that there was no oven ready deal. the chicken hadn't even been plucked by boris johnson. never mind. got oven ready. there was no deal. there was nothing ready . and even now, was nothing ready. and even now, after all these years, the small businesses are suffering with extra bureaucracy . inconsistency extra bureaucracy. inconsistency goes back to what we were saying earlier. the constant churn of ministers and changing of minds

and changing of priorities. so again, it comes back to this thing of stability. but i think what is interesting is that now with a labour government, with such a huge majority, britain is a slight outlier as europe goes inward and is going away from stability . and we'll see what stability. and we'll see what happensin stability. and we'll see what happens in france tonight. but, you know, france is potentially looking at four years of absolute nothing. >> and you see that because the polls opened this morning at 8 am. in france because of macron's, short draw of election. we are discussing that after the break. indeed. which worries me slightly about david lammy being have foreign secretary because he hasn't exactly been complimentary about, well, anyone. is that your starter for ten? have you seen his you know, his his appearance on mastermind? i think, yes. but i mean, he hasn't been complimentary about, sort of like, you know , the far sort of like, you know, the far right parties in france or trump in america. no, it hasn't at all

a diplomat, a diplomat. yes, that's what i'm saying. and he's the most undiplomatic member of that cabinet that ikea has formed with keir starmer . formed with keir starmer. >> well, i think, he if keir starmer was going to move him, he would have done it before. now you can't junk somebody who has been on the shadow and actually david lammy did an awful lot during the d—day celebrations, which absolutely did for sunak because of his own stupidity. >> stay there. >> stay there. >> yeah, well yes, i know, but i mean it was it was actually david lammy whose relationship with the french it was. >> yes. >> yes. >> and absolutely. >> and absolutely. >> you know, he writes articles in french and all the rest of it. and that was how the keir starmer happened to be there. i mean, you know what people say, kim darroch, if you remember lord darroch as he now is, was our ambassador to washington, also said things about how incompetent and how dangerous trump was. and it was that great statesman boris johnson, who leaked them , which meant that leaked them, which meant that lord darroch had to give up his

post and come back to england. bons post and come back to england. boris johnson as foreign secretary liz truss as foreign secretary. they're not exactly covered in glory, so let's give david lammy a chance. >> do you think claire, there is a problem when we are discussing this a bit further later on? but i mean that europe as a whole does seem to be shifting more to the right. on we are. we have voted labour. they are definitely. i mean, you only need to see david lammy on that world stage again. it goes to down the direction and the wording and the you know that the understanding of the word right and far right. i think these have all shifted and the, these have all shifted and the, the interpretation of it is all shifted as well. and we've got meloni in italy, macron calling everything today. so they are voting from 8 am. this morning. germany as well is moving not moving away from the centre . but moving away from the centre. but i think that again is down to the fact that, after the after when president angela merkel left, i think she was a very safe, steady pair of hands who

knew what she was doing , knew what she was doing, notwithstanding the fact she's a woman, but she she was there as a remarkable stateswoman. >> she was solid , wasn't she? >> she was solid, wasn't she? >> she was solid, wasn't she? >> absolutely solid and stoic . >> absolutely solid and stoic. okay. she gave stability. that's what we need. and we're not getting it at the moment. no, erdogan and turkey wants to get into the eu. sweden's not in the eu, but are in nato and finland. so we've got the eu battling nato war in ukraine. putin i mean, yeah, david lammy, no starter for ten. i started, so i'll finish . that was mean. i'll finish. that was mean. i mean he, he he does have his good. but he gave he gave a press conference saying he's never seen a policeman. and there was a policeman standing next standing behind him. don come on. the man can't find a cervix, let alone the country. well, he thinks you can grow your own. to be fair, he does think you can grow your own cervix. >> i think we should actually be quite serious about foreign affairs. and i think we should. we are? yes, i know , but i think

we are? yes, i know, but i think we should actually give him a chance and see what happens. and i agree with everything that you say that europe is in flux. i agree with everything that you say that europe is in flux . yes. say that europe is in flux. yes. and we need stability. well, it may well be that we've now got a stable government in this country. let's see how well do you know what i absolutely hope that we have. >> and i constantly live in hope. right. i'm just going to i'm just going to now because patricia's nagged me. hello, patricia. thanks for being here today. we were nagging you as well. i'm getting it from all angles here. but, you know, it's angles here. but, you know, it's a but. this is from clive. clive, thank you for getting in touch on david lammy said david lammy is a britain hating racist who will destroy our relationship with all of our neighbours and friends. i hope trump tells him where to get off once he is in power, and the same with starmer as well. strong views. >> well, that's really grown up and sensible, isn't it? >> okay, let me know your views on that and i will read them out. especially if you're called patricia, because we have a thing now. we like patricia, we'd like patricia. we have a thing now, right. we'd like patricia. we have a thing now, right . okay. we'd like patricia. we have a thing now, right. okay. i'm we'd like patricia. we have a thing now, right . okay. i'm dawn thing now, right. okay. i'm dawn neesom, this is gb news. and there's plenty more coming up on today's show. but first. oh, look, it's ray addison everybody

damaging failure. and former health secretary victoria atkins said the country was still instinctively conservative with labour support. quote spread very thinly, like margarine , very thinly, like margarine, while suella braverman says the tories are facing an existential threat from reform uk former home secretary told gb news they lost hundreds of brilliant conservative mps because of nigel farage's party. she also said there's only room for one conservative party in british politics. she's urging her fellow mps to decide what type of party they are and, quote, neutralise that threat and the funeral of former rugby england international rob burrow is taking place in pontefract now. the 41 year old died on june 2nd after a lengthy battle with motor neurone disease. today's service coincides with leeds rhinos annual celebration of rob burrow day, marking the number seven shirt he wore during his rugby league career. members of

almost as though , you know, the almost as though, you know, the conservatives are going to look into themselves and see why they went wrong . it is pretty obvious went wrong. it is pretty obvious why they went wrong. the behaviour of the last four years was shocking. but then we're going to ask the question, well, who should lead the tory party? because initially penny mordaunt was quite a popular option, but obviously she's not available anymore. so there's going to be anymore. so there's going to be a lot of introspection, hopefully for not too long. but we're going to be discussing all of that. plus, for my great british debate, i'm asking sir keir starmer said earlier this week i think it was on tuesday, actually it was in the paper that he's going to clock off at 6:00 on a friday, every friday without fail. i know his wife is of the jewish faith or has got jewish links , but i'm asking, is jewish links, but i'm asking, is that realistic for a prime minister who's going to be working on all international time zones, whether you can just 90, time zones, whether you can just go, oh 6:00, time to clock off, is that realistic ? and we've got is that realistic? and we've got a great studio guest coming in. we'll have a little bit of music in the studio just to tantalise just after all of this election fever. so that is coming up. >> brilliant. thank you very much. nana. you don't want to go anywhere that starts at 3:00

>> hello. welcome back to gb

news sunday. it's all going terribly well here in the studio. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news, and we're on telly online. on digital radio. i've got to read this out. i've got to read this one out. we've got a nice comment. thank you, this is, someone called charlie from aberdeen, loving your show. the three of you are fabulous together. winky face. >> thank you charlie. >> thank you charlie. >> thank you charlie. >> thank you. charlie that was love. you too. i hope that was a positive winky face. patricia, if you'd like to comment on that, please feel free. we are waiting now. right. okay, let's move on, shall we, are we seeing a right wing surge in france ? a right wing surge in france? polls open in one of the most important french elections in living memory. the right wing national rally of marine le pen are poised to become a dominant force in the country's national assembly, but is this a trend we will see surge across the rest of europe, let's see what my very, very well behaved, not at all messing around. they are panel are, claire and joe maker, this one. joe it's. yeah, i know

we've talked about elections quite a bit recently, but this one in france is important. and macron currently the first part of their election was in third place. >> yeah. and as claire said before we went to the break, i mean, it's not just france. it's happening across europe . we've happening across europe. we've lost several years ago now. angela merkel and that stability, you know, it doesn't seem that long ago that macron was the great new youthful hope came out of nowhere with a party that hadn't, you know, no one. he invented his party, and swept to power , and very soon people to power, and very soon people fell out of love with him . but, fell out of love with him. but, you know, we've got so many conflicts going on and conflicting demands, whether it's immigration, the mass movement of people from war zones, from, places in the world that are uninhabitable now because of climate change, you've got the war in ukraine, you've got the war in ukraine, you've got the war in ukraine, you've got relationship with america, you've got relationship with nato, and you've got, if you like, their outriders,

they're not mainstream political parties, although marine le pen has been around for a long time, and i'm desperately trying to remember the name of her father, who was, who started it. and it was jean—marie . jean—marie? was jean—marie. jean—marie? that's what i was thinking. jean—marie. jean—marie. and it was called something else in those days. but, you know, she's made it more acceptable. you've got giorgia meloni in italy who has made her party. and i completely agree with claire about the right and left. it's a very lazy, determination of what and where. and i'll tell you something that concerns me as a practising catholic. >> and i know, maloney is, too. is that because we might have some conservative small c views and the way that we view the world in terms of the way that our faith forms us, that might be viewed as right wing, but we don't. it's not right wing . no, don't. it's not right wing. no, no, no. >> and it is. >> and it is. >> and it is. >> and i think it's you know, i think it's very disingenuous. >> i just said, i agree with you. i mean, i think right and

left, i think it's always been a lazy determination. you know, it's bonkers if you go back to things like the, you know, the countryside alliance and the hunting ban that tony blair brought in, you were just as likely to find people, you know, who lived in the country, who weren't landowners, who wanted , weren't landowners, who wanted, yes, you know, and foxhunting exactly , exactly. and all of exactly, exactly. and all of those sort of things. so i think, you know, yes, i agree with you, but we end up using shorthand, which is why things like right and left and wokeist but it's lazy. >> so lazy, as you've just said . >> so lazy, as you've just said. yeah, exactly. >> but back to the issue on europe. i mean, we have to wait and see, but i think it's very fragile . fragile. >> but macron will still be president. >> he'll still be you still be president for another two years. >> two years. >> two years. >> and the problem then is that he can go, well, i can't get anything through because look at my which is the government, which is why i think he's done it. yeah. and yes. but you've got the french public who have got the french public who have got to then put up with possibly they've also got the olympics coming up . coming up. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, come on, it starts very soon. do you know, apparently they wanted to have the olympic torch

brought up the cien and the, the, the french international, security services have said you can't do that. we cannot secure every le pont. no, possible going. so they can't do it. the french always want to do things, but they actually can't. well, and why why would all police leave for today? why? yeah. yeah. and because they do. they do enjoy a riot, don't they. and a protest. why do we think france is going further to the right ? because of the level of right? because of the level of immigrants coming in, i think. and that's what's happened in lampedusa in italy as well. people can countries are sick of it. they are absolutely sick of it. they are absolutely sick of it . the countries do not have it. the countries do not have the infrastructure to accept illegal immigrants and that's what a lot of them are. they're mostly male. they're mostly displaced. regardless of whether the west or whoever's you know , the west or whoever's you know, tallied with the purpose of why they're leaving their countries like iran, iraq,

they're leaving their countries like iran, iraq , afghanistan, or like iran, iraq, afghanistan, or even africa. it's just ridiculous. sorry, we are running out of time very briefly, joe, what is it? mostly migration. i think. >> i think a lot of it is migration. and i think a lot of it is the economic downturn, which is affecting the whole of the world, actually. but i think it's also, fear because of what's happening in ukraine, you know, on mainland europe. and there's a huge difference between what those countries closer to russia feel is needed and the rest of europe, which sort of thinks, well, you know, it's nothing to do with us. i don't want to give any more arms or support to ukraine. >> okay. and clive richardson just got in touch. so i'm reading them all out now, le pen will win and this is going to be good for france. and the rest of europe will follow . interesting, europe will follow. interesting, right. keep your views coming in. i will read them out. right. i'm dawn neesom. this is gb news sunday and there's loads more coming up on today's show. include show even including loads of your views , and it's loads of your views, and it's another nail biting match last night, wasn't it, for the three lions? england had made it through to euro 2024 semi—finals

footballing policing unit, they reckon around 25,000 fans were in dusseldorf. 4000 were around the city centre, some of those of course, you just saw me celebrating with. for those radio listeners, i was hoisted up in the air by an england fan that i up in the air by an england fan that! do up in the air by an england fan that i do not know, but that's that's all the part of the penalty shootout, though, isn't it, because they've kind of been this atmosphere all throughout the game in dusseldorf of people being again, it was a bit of a better performance from gareth southgate's side, but was it really, you know, invigorating. was it exciting . not really. and was it exciting. not really. and so by the end of 90 minutes we all thought oh here we go again. an extra time and nothing happens. you think here we go again. and it's a penalty shootout. and we know the history of england and penalties. but of course that history is starting to change. it started to shift with gareth southgate and that's that's probably one of the most exciting things of his managerial, period. of course, it was his 100th game in charge yesterday as england boss, and so i'm sure he's absolutely delighted that we were able to get that win. but i didn't have any fingernails by the by the

end of it. and with that penalty shootout, you just basically just got to grab any one around you just to try and get you through that moment. because it it really is nerve wracking. but honestly, dawn, the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. i mean, throughout the game , of mean, throughout the game, of course, england had tried to square up to switzerland with that back three. they tried to match them because of how well structured they've been so far in this tournament. that did allow trippier and saka, of course, to get forward as well. but of course it had to go to penalties. netherlands is next in dortmund on wednesday. can we do it? dawn? do you think it's finally coming home? >> is it finally coming home? jack thank you very much. you enjoy the rest of your stay out there and try not to get thrown around by strapping young men. you don't know. it doesn't do your reputation any good, jack. thank you very much. live from germany. therefore, on england's amazing success. now we have a scottish person. yes, on the panel. scottish person. yes, on the panel . and we are going to talk panel. and we are going to talk to her. we're running out of

anywhere though. plenty more coming up on gb news. but first it is the very important weather with jonathan. what's happening . jonathan. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello there! welcome to your latest gb news, weather forecast provided by the met office. we've had some showers around today and they'll be continuing on as we head into this afternoon and evening. some of them still on the sharp side for them still on the sharp side for the next few hours or so, so do just watch out for those. but they'll be easing their way off as we head into this evening and over night. quite clear skies for many of us, with a few mist and fog patches possible. and underneath those clear skies as well , temperatures will be well, temperatures will be dropping their way off quite a bit. a chilly night for the start of july. towns and cities still around 9 to 11 c, but rural spots perhaps even as low as 3 to 5 c. so nippy to start off the new working week. but for many of us, particularly the northern half of the uk, it will

be quite a bright start to the new working week away from the far north of scotland, where there will be a bit more cloud around some outbreaks of rain and drizzle in there, but certainly for much of scotland, northern ireland, northern england there will be some sunshine to kick off the day, a few showers eventually developing as we head into the latter stages of the morning and the afternoon. in the south, though, we are going to be watching as this rain slowly pushes its way in, it will be turning quite bleak and gloomy for southern areas of england and eventually into southern wales. as well later on, and the rain will slowly push its way in from the south, with some brisk winds developing. perhaps 3035 mile an hour. gusts along the southern coast of england later on into the afternoon, feeling quite cool underneath that persistent cloud and rain temperatures perhaps not climbing as as much as 15 or 16 c, but further north, where we see the sunshine, actually might see 2020 one degrees celsius. that's more around where we should be for this stage of the year. the rain in the south is all due to this area of low pressure that is sweeping its way in from the southwest. it is going to make very slow progress northwards as we head throughout to the end of

monday and eventually into tuesday, but it will be eventually moving its way into wales. and then as we move into the overnight period, northern england, northern ireland and potentially scotland later on. so certainly from tuesday onwards it's looking at more widely unsettled with rain and showers. for many of us, perhaps a little bit drier as we head towards the end of the week , towards the end of the week, thursday onwards. >> by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news
