indoctrinate kids with critical race theory and just to be very clear, will labour oppose new drilling licences in the north sea? >> well, we do oppose them. and let me explain why. >> ed miliband has gone feral. is he about to cost the taxpayer tens of billions of pounds plus he . tens of billions of pounds plus he. has tens of billions of pounds plus he . has people prisoners on he. has people prisoners on early release will be back out and about soon. will labour make britain less safe? and this lot of illegal immigrants are on the way? yeah, there we go . footage way? yeah, there we go. footage emerges of migrants getting violent as they try to cross the border into europe. there'll be more of that on the way very, very shortly. using weapons as they go. >> plus, i swear by almighty god that i will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his majesty, the king charles. >> is there trouble at the heart of reform? there's been a big

internal fallout. i will reveal all. >> also look at her voting record. she is just a party stooge. she voted for all theresa may's deals. she voted for more net zero. >> well, sir graham brady, the former power broker to the tory party, will be live in the studio to discuss the next conservative leader. on my panel tonight is telegraph columnist allison pearson, tory peer lord bailey and ex—labour adviser matthew laza. okay. and i want you to tell me why we all hate this orang—utan . okay. i want this orang—utan. okay. i want you to tell me that. why do we all hate that? orang—utan. get ready, britain. here we go . ready, britain. here we go. has ed miliband already gone completely feral? next . completely feral? next. >> very good evening to you. it's just after 9:00. and the

top story from the newsroom tonight is that police are still waiting to speak to karl clifford in connection with the murders of three members of the same family. he is currently in a serious condition in hospital. the 26 year old was found near a cemetery in north london yesterday after a major manhunt and earlier in enfield, police were seen retrieving what appeared to have been two hard drives and bags of documents from a house connected to their ongoing search. it's understood a crossbow has also been recovered as part of that investigation, karl clifford is wanted for the deaths of carole hunt, the wife of bbc commentator john hunt, the wife of bbc commentatorjohn hunt, and two of their daughters in bristol. a taxi has been seized as part of another urgent manhunt after two suitcases containing human remains were found on the city's clifton suspension bridge. officers have now released a description of their main suspect, who travelled there by taxi last night and left the luggage. if you're watching on television, you can see their

images of that suspect. he has a beard. he's dressed in black and was wearing a backpack at the time. he was caught on cctv. officers were called last night to reports of that man acting suspiciously on the bridge , say suspiciously on the bridge, say they're now urgently working to find him. the bridge remains closed while specialist investigators scour the scene, and an investigation is also understood to be underway to identify the remains . double identify the remains. double child killer colin pitchfork's next parole hearing will no longer be held in public after new allegations have come to light. he was jailed for life for the rape and murder of 215 year old girls in leicester in the 80s. the hearing was due to take place this week but has been adjourned, with the parole board saying there have been fresh, relatively recent allegations relating to the risk that he poses . the prime that he poses. the prime minister has brushed off concerns that his plans to release prisoners early to ease overcrowded jails could see a crime wave unleashed across the country. his new government is proposing to free inmates after

serving just 40% of their sentence. it's expected sir keir starmer will authorise that emergency measure this week , but emergency measure this week, but it comes after he said he was shocked at the levels of overcrowding in prisons, admitting it is worse than he first thought. meanwhile, joe biden is set to hold a rare news conference later tonight as the us president attempts to calm doubts about his age and his ability to win the race to the white house political commentators say tonight's event is the kind of speech he needs to pull off. if he's to hold on to pull off. if he's to hold on to support. after a separate shaky debate performance against his rival donald trump. it comes after yesterday he lost the backing of another hollywood actor, george clooney. but after meeting joe biden at the nato summit, prime minister sir keir starmer thinks the president's on top form. >> he was on good form and we covered four more years. >> no problem. >> no problem. >> well, look, he was on very good form and i was very pleased to have that opportunity to discuss these issues with him. and not least this , question of and not least this, question of our special relationship, which

is very important to him, very important to me, and very important to me, and very important to me, and very important to our two countries. >> and finally , water companies >> and finally, water companies in england and wales say the planned bill rises won't be enough to tackle sewage spills . enough to tackle sewage spills. the regulator, ofwat, has approved annual increases of £19 on average per household, but that's a third less than water firms had requested . those are firms had requested. those are the latest gb news headlines for now. i'm sam francis, back with you for another update at 10:00 for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone , sign 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. >> welcome along! it looks as though ed miliband was on the bnnk though ed miliband was on the brink of costing the british taxpayer tens of billions of pounds just a week after taking his position in the cabinet. mr miliband is already the most expensive policymaker in british

history. in 2008, he pushed through the final version of the climate change act. it made us the only country in the world legally committed to cutting our emissions of co2 by 80% between then and 2050. even then, the government projected that this would cost us up to £734 billion. the latest figures suggest that for britain to reach this target , it would now reach this target, it would now cost even more. around £1,300 billion. mr miliband is of course, reluctant to put his own money where his considerable mouth is. here he is being asked about electric cars. >> seem you've got one. >> seem you've got one. >> i haven't yet. it's a work in progress. >> what practice? what you preach. >> it's a work in progress. i we're actually on our way to buying one before lockdown . it buying one before lockdown. it is going to happen, i promise you. i have bought an electric bike, but it's on its way. >> then today this article emerged. miliband overrules officials with immediate ban on

new north sea oil. it says that the energy secretary has decided that regulators will not approve a new round of drilling that was slated for confirmation in the coming weeks. now, this is backed up by a comment from ed miliband's team, which said we will not issue new licences to explore new fields and will not revoke existing oil and gas licences. we will manage existing fields for the entirety of their lifespan. okay, well then it seems to have dawned on people that the energy, oil and gas companies might be a bit angry about this and they might take legal action. they've already spent hundreds of millions of pounds on this, and if the government lost that legal action, who would have to pay 7 legal action, who would have to pay ? oh yes, the british pay? oh yes, the british taxpayer. not that miliband would care about that, of course. then the unions got involved. sharon graham, unite general secretary, said it is quite frankly irresponsible for labour to keep ploughing ahead with the guillotine ban of new oil and gas licences when there is no clear plan forjobs. we

is no clear plan for jobs. we simply cannot let go of one rope before we have a hold of another until we have clear plans and, more importantly, investment . we more importantly, investment. we should not be turning off the taps so then came the reverse ferret. all of a sudden, this story was nonsense and a complete fabrication and totally untrue. ed miliband's track record suggests that he doesn't care much about spending huge quantities of taxpayers money, though, does it? he said that he'd relish fighting a general election campaign on net zero, and today it emerged that the government will no longer defend a decision made by the tories to allow a controversial new coal mine in cumbria. so the new secretary of state for housing, communities and local government, angela rayner, described it as an error of law. but where are we going to get our power? well, mr miliband sums for great british energy don't add up. it relies on ed miliband only investing public money into projects that go on to work. so, you know, and then encouraging private investors to invest more themselves. so the public have a

right to wonder, i think, whether or not there is an eco zealot at the heart of government holding a pen over a cheque that you're all paying for. let's get your thoughts on my panel tonight. i'm joined by daily telegraph columnist allison pearson. i've also got conservative peer lord bailey and former labour party adviser matthew laza allison , i'll start matthew laza allison, i'll start with you on this. is ed miliband actually just an eco loon? >> net zero nutter. i cannot tell you how absolutely flabbergasted and angry i am. rishi hid him in a cupboard dunng rishi hid him in a cupboard during the election where we could care. but yes. yeah, we can, we can. we can see, see why it's juvenile posturing . it's juvenile posturing. patrick. with british jobs, tens of thousands of british jobs, many of them in the north of scotland, are dependent on north sea oil and gas. scotland, are dependent on north sea oil and gas . we are going to sea oil and gas. we are going to be dependent on fossil fuels until, at least 2050, as our own climate change committee has agreed. and let me just give you

one example. we give norway every single year, £14.5 billion to pay norway for gas, which they get from the north sea in they get from the north sea in the field next to our lovely field. couldn't we get our own gas out of the north sea and spend the £145 gas out of the north sea and spend the £14.5 billion on something that we might be nice like? sure start programs for children or housing for our own young people. but ed miliband is wedded to decarbonising the grid. by 2030, it's not going to happen. and he is going to. he could really cause labour some serious trouble. >> yeah, indeed. and you're right that they kind of did keep him quite hidden away during this election campaign. but now he's unchained , isn't he? ed he's unchained, isn't he? ed miliband is off the leash and straight away it's like, oh no, we're not going to do any more of this stuff. we're not doing it. and then the reverse ferret comes and this story is complete

and utter total fabricated nonsense. of course, i just wonder with ed miliband how long we can stop him from doing stuff thatis we can stop him from doing stuff that is completely bonkers, that affects us all more importantly, how long? >> how long could keir starmer keep him? if he keeps doing this, he'll become a problem. and let's be very clear, ed miliband is so wedded to this now he's lost the idea that he needs to be practical. he needs to be pragmatic. he'd rather be right in his own mind and pragmatic for the british public and if we if we all, there's one thing we all agree on a cost of living crisis. if you do something like this, that crisis will become an absolute emergency. they'll have to rein him in and what he will find is running government is very, very complicated. you are not the sole power in the country. you have a legal system that allow companies to come after you for the bottom line, and they will have to because they have employees jobs that they have to protect. >> yeah, indeed. i mean, you know, ed miliband on this has got a track record of absolute disaster when it comes to spending the public's money, doesn't he? and now here he is in a position of power and he's got the you know, the altar of green wokery for him to just sacrifice himself and indeed all

of us on from now until the end of us on from now until the end of time. i mean, is he is he actually fit to be in office? yeah. >> i mean, absolutely he is. and i'm glad we've got an energy secretary who's committed to net zero with a party behind him and a prime minister behind him. that needs we need to deliver it, but it needs to be delivered in a sensible way, which is why i think, look, they've got their wires crossed today about whether i mean, it's quite a it's quite a complicated story because labour is absolutely committed to north sea oil and gas production, which is going to continue for those existing fields. there is a question about the new licences and labour's committed and just won an election on not issuing new licences . some of those licences. some of those licences, i think there's confusion today is between the fact that they're not going to basically advertise for any more versus revoking the ones that were just about issued at the death of the tory government. and it seems that the ones that were issued on the tory government are going to be honoured. >> this matters because great british energy, right? great british energy, right? great british energy. there isn't a plan for great british energy. right. so they're saying that we're going to invest eight point. well, there is a plan for great energy. they're saying that we're going to invest

something like 8.6 i think billion pounds. it is. we're not being clear on whether or not that's buying existing green energy stock , which would not energy stock, which would not add at all, >> my understanding is for new green energy investment. >> here's the thing. here's the thing, matthew said. it's a complicated area. the one person it shouldn't be complicated to is the minister for because if so, we are doomed. and again, this is so fundamental not only to our cost of living, but to our national security. if we are held to ransom by bad players like we were russia, we are doomed . they've got to have doomed. they've got to have a very clear plan for two reasons one, all the social and security reasons , but two, so that we can reasons, but two, so that we can develop it properly. this will cost our country a great deal of money. if we don't do it correctly. we are stuck. but it's not. >> well, i agree with you. we're going to do it correctly. >> why is ed miliband not piping up about the amount of private jets? keir starmer and co have already taken? >> we're not going to do it properly matthew, because it can't be done in the time frame. >> they're claiming it's going to be i think. yeah i think you're right about the decarbonising of the grid. but it yeah there are issues about

is going to be 2030 all these electric vehicles. >> we actually just saw him saying he hasn't got an electric vehicle. >> if you look on the government website right now under what his priorities are okay, one of his priorities, matthew, is to encourage the world to act by leading by example. nobody cares, which means we all have to suffer in the vain hope that xi to suffer in the vain hope that x! jinping one day decided, xi jinping one day decided, well, we're on a path to moral fortitude to say this. >> i've got one of the things that was to me, most of all, i'm sorry. i'm sorry, matthew, but i'm so annoyed about as i go on. i'm so annoyed about as i go on. ihear i'm so annoyed about as i go on. i hear it a lot in parliament about our international reputation. i want to make it quite clear no nation in the world cares what we're doing about net zero. they have their own plans and they will only do their own plans. they will not follow us. >> that's not true because we're signed up to global agreements. >> sean, hold on a second. they cannot follow us because we don't have a plan. >> we do have a plan. and you're talking about the chinese. the chinese are the world's leaders in electric vehicle production. so i want, i want. let me finish, please, sean. they're also the throwing up coal fired. look no finish. look, i want

britain to be at the forefront of green technologies because the biden government has invested tens of billions of dollars in the in the green new deal dollars in the in the green new deal. they're i don't want britain falling behind. i do think there is a sensible way of doing this. i think there's a way that as sharon graham from unite says, that protects british jobs and helps british workers transition. i do think that the particular demand, the demand to get the grid done, is actually going to be an issue because there's an issue physically about building it, because that's really important . because that's really important. >> you're right. there is an issue physically in building it, which actually if you translate that means it can't. we haven't got the infrastructure. >> apparently there aren't enough wires in the world. according to the gmb in the world currently, according to the unions. >> but the thing ed miliband wants to do right now basically look out of your kitchen window because three months time there's going to be a pile on there. >> okay? our country is going to be covered in pie. >> that's why the greens won in suffolk on only on pylons. i'm against pylons. >> i'm going to go and tie myself to a. >> there's no plan. >> there's no plan. there's, there's lots of get frazzled. there's lots of warm words, but there is no plan. and this is

simple. and you know what's wrong with this? it's all top down. we can send 28 billion on this. look at it. >> the 28. now shall we drop the 28 billion? >> but can an ordinary person afford this electric car. can they afford to rise? >> can i just say, remember dunng >> can i just say, remember during the general election, ed was absolutely clear that if he voted labour, labour was not going to force you to rip out your boiler by 20, gas fired boiler by 2030. >> unlike the tories, they might strongly incentivise you to do it. >> but which is your own money? well, the tories were going to force you to do it your own money. all right. >> i wonder if this is where this is where the labour tax issue actually unravels first, which is if these major, major companies all just do one from the north sea and elsewhere, and you haven't got those windfall tax and you haven't got all of that, and then you haven't got the infrastructure in place to do the alternative green things that could be a zone, particularly as committed to increasing the profit tax. >> the tax on the profits is due to pay for other things. >> sorry, alison. exactly >> sorry, alison. exactly >> that's happening already because these big, gas and oil companies, if they think they're going to behind the windmills and the renewables, they do not

want to invest when they know they're going to be eighth in they're going to be eighth in the pecking order. and that's happening already. >> patrick, we'll have to watch this space when it comes to ed miliband. >> but, yeah, my old boss, he's got the he's got the kind of wild eyed look of a man who's just been unleashed, you know? here we go, here we go. i can do all the eco stuff anyway. still to come, a secret recording uncovers the woke guff being fed to british schoolkids . to british schoolkids. >> i don't agree with the government team. i can't teach critical race theory. but that's also because i know that i would do a betterjob of teaching critical race theory than other people. >> i'm going to be joined by a guest who tells me just how concerned we should be about things like critical race theory being taught to young kids. plus, you might remember paul the octopus , but who has walter the octopus, but who has walter the octopus, but who has walter the orang—utan picked to win sunday's euros final , well, sunday's euros final, well, we'll have to wait and see. but up next, as keir starmer prepares to release tens of thousands of inmates early in a bid to prevent jails becoming

full, will crime go up under labour? retired police officer norman brennan goes head to head with former prisoner and charity founder mark johnson. now should be good. sinner sukh.

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. coming up, an astonishing real life recording that exposes the woke ideology being taught to kids in our schools. but first, will crime

go schools. but first, will crime 9° up schools. but first, will crime go up under labour? it's time now for the head to head. so the labour government is to announce plans to release prisoners in the coming days to ease overcrowding in cells . speaking overcrowding in cells. speaking to reporters on a trip to the nato summit in the us, sir keir starmer said some of what we found is shocking, not so much about the finances, but i have to say on prisons the situation is worse than i thought it was. i'm pretty shocked that it's been allowed to get into that situation . it's reckless to situation. it's reckless to allow them to get into that place. however, one figure from the previous administration hit back, saying we held our nerve on this for months and found other ways to keep the system operational and get new prison places online. labour have bottled it . so with as many as bottled it. so with as many as 40,000 criminals to be released early onto our streets will crime go up under labour? let me know your thoughts by heading to gbnews.com/yoursay. you can tweet me @gbnews. go and vote in our poll while you're there. but

i'm joined now by retired police officer norman branum and former prisoner, now charity founder and best selling author mark johnson. shapps. thank you very much. looking forward to this. look, norman, i'll start with you. i'll be honest with you. i am finding it hard to believe that by releasing as many as 40,000 criminals back out onto the street early , that crime the street early, that crime won't go up under labour. but what's your thoughts? >> it absolutely will. go up under labour, policing is in crisis . we haven't got enough crisis. we haven't got enough police officers. more are resigning than actually join in all the experienced officers are gone, we've got knife crime , gone, we've got knife crime, epidemic levels. we've got, shoplifting epidemic levels, as well as car theft. all two of those are costing us £2 billion each. a year. we've got so many criminals out on the streets that should have been sent to prison. but because of the overcrowding already are there. there's two people or two types that go to prison, patrick. one is where the crime is so serious and the other is where the

crimes are so persistent. of course , if you commit a very course, if you commit a very serious crime, like a rape or robbery gun crime, you have to go to prison. if you've exhausted all of the alternatives to imprisonment , alternatives to imprisonment, then the magistrates and judges have a right and a duty and no alternative but send you to prison. so if we've got the right people in prison, patrick, how can we have too many people in prison? we clearly haven't got the prison places or the foresight of this problem. >> yeah, i mean, it's possibly another area that has not kept up with the population explosion that this country has seen in the last 20, 30 years or so. mark, was it over to you now because from from my perspective, just, you know, guy just goes about his business every single day. you know, i see things happening in my local shops, like people just walking in and nicking stuff. right. and they don't seem to care about any of the consequences. obviously, we're all well aware of things like knife crime, etc. i just wonder by by having people released earlier than anticipated, what kind of message it sends to those people. if we already have

people. if we already have people who don't fear the consequences, what's going to happen now? >> well, i mean, strangely , it >> well, i mean, strangely, it suggests that before, when the prison numbers were kind of under control, that, that we had some kind of rehabilitation techniques in prison, and programs in prison that actually worked. >> and quite frankly, that that's never been the case. the reason that, you know , people go reason that, you know, people go to go to prison and have, you know , for a number of years, know, for a number of years, being severely neglected, actually, but, the prison system itself, i mean , it's sort of itself, i mean, it's sort of a consequence from very over politicising the justice system for the last 15 years, for sure, where, you know, they've they've said that the rhetoric is tough on crime, longer sentence stuff. there's no evidence to say that. longer sentences. reduce reoffending at all. you've got america to look at 1.5 million in prison, 1 in 9 people in

american population in prison. yet they've got high reconviction figures than than we have. i think what you're looking at is like five years ago, they increased the, conservative government, increased the summary conviction from the magistrates courts up to two years. and that's a group of people that aren't that aren't really trained, there aren't really trained, there aren't representative of the community. and actually, that's that's increased the prison numbers. the other one is, i'll say , is 15,000 people in british say, is 15,000 people in british prisons. now are there for recall. so they're not actually committed crimes. they've like not turned up with respect to that, though, isn't it that they committed crimes, they were released and then they broke their bail conditions and now they're back again. >> so i mean, some would argue that that maybe indicates that they shouldn't have been released in the first place. you know, it's indicative i will come back to you. okay. fine. i will come back to you, mate. but look, i just want to say so knife and gun crimes, robbery and theft are currently rising in britain. there is a shoplifting epidemic. at the moment. it is. apparently it's

worse for 20 years. figures show almost 1200 cases of shop that are being reported every day. thatis are being reported every day. that is up by a third in a year, and there is also a little bit of this going on as well. people you know, you know, what do we do about this? is there a case to say that there's much point in locking somebody up for ten years with no rehabilitation, making them serve their entire sentence, and then they are unemployable afterwards? i mean, this new prisons, guy timpson has put his money where his mouth is, the way he runs his shops and things like that. he does employ a lot of people who are leaving prison. and, you know, is there much point in keeping people locked up for longer, in your view? >> well, the alternative is we just release everybody and we have anarchy on our streets. the thing is where somebody has committed such a serious crime or persistent crime, when they're in prison, they're not plaguing victims. they're not plaguing victims. they're not plaguing society. and let's actually look at what prisons are all about. it's to punish,

to deter, to reassure to and rehabilitate. now, i can tell you now , patrick, there are tens you now, patrick, there are tens of thousands of people on the streets of britain that should actually be in prison but weren't sent there. so we've got them on the streets. we're now having probably tens of thousands of others released after only 40% at a time. what message does that send ? i'll message does that send? i'll tell you what message to send week . sentencing on offenders is week. sentencing on offenders is tough . sentencing on the victims tough. sentencing on the victims and society. and the thing is, is if there's no rehabilitation or correct rehabilitation that should be worked out. the last government they closed 17 prisons, failed to build five and keir starmer and yvette cooper cannot say they didn't know the problem. they were shadowing this government for 15 years. >> i think there is i think there is, there is. and this is, by the way, not just to do with prisons. we are going to see this for pretty much every single department for probably the next few years, where it's

and there might be some truth in this, by the way, but the labour party are going to say, oh gosh, we've just had a look at this. it's even worse than we thought. so we're gonna have to do more. so we're gonna have to do more. so i think there is there is a bit of that going around. you're absolutely right to point that out. and i'll just i'll just bnng out. and i'll just i'll just bring you back in, mark, on this. now, i heard what you said about america. fine. i understand that i would possibly counter that by suggesting that some countries that do have really harsh laws, and i'm not for a single second advocating the kind of judicial system they have in saudi arabia, for example. but i imagine the crime rate in saudi arabia is quite low. so i wonder if that kind of nullifies the old, softer, softer, gently, gently approach. mark >> well, no, i mean, you know this there's two sides to this. i mean, the disinvestment into prison and rehabilitation. i've got to tell you, i, i've just spent 16 days in six british prisons. right. and it's the default mental health institution. fact. right so 70% of all people in there , we're of all people in there, we're prescribing our way out of one problem and prescribing our way into another. and the whole drug trajectory is changing from

heroin, illegal street drugs. now into second and third sentences on prescriptions that they actually got on entry into prison in the first place. so when you know, if you've got if you're committing a crime and it's a drug related or whatever, and you're going into prison, the first person you meet is a doctor and you get a prescription. you're not getting, any kind of programs because of the staffing, the understaffing , probation, when understaffing, probation, when you get out is literally over capacity by 130. in london, for instance . so it's neglect from instance. so it's neglect from the state. you know what i mean. so why are releasing them. >> why are we releasing them if they can't be put under probation? i can tell you this, patrick. well simply because the political decision make because justice has been politicised, there they they put the rhetoric out to the public about being tough on crime. >> but we haven't had the capacity to house that group of people. we simply can't. >> ex—offender you're an ex—offender. for 45 years, i've

been a police officer and a leading campaigner on law and order. i have picked up the devastation that you leave behind. now, the thing is, i've got no problems with people being given an alternative to imprisonment. but when you breach them and all these people that tell me that you go to prison to learn new tricks, i can tell you thousands of prisoners that i've actually interviewed , arrested and interviewed, arrested and charged that there's very few new tricks to learn. they see prison as a short respite to go out and offend. and if we're going to go and release tens of thousands on top of all the others that should have been in prison, but are not, i can tell you, patrick, there's a perfect storm coming, and you will get me back in a year or two if i'm still about. and we'll be talking about the society. >> you know, the sad reality from a prisoner perspective. right is that we've got a situation that even though there is literally, nothing in prison to rehabilitate people, it is better than actually their lives out in the community. and that's the that's the perception of large numbers of people in british prisons at the moment.

all right. so it's a reality. all right. so it's a reality. all right. so it's a reality. all right. but there's only one opfion all right. but there's only one option that they've got. and i think now is the time to do it. and that's reduce the prison numbers to be able to build build back an effective justice. >> i do wonder yeah i've already been a victim once. >> victims have already been a victim once. the public have been protected from them. and now we're releasing out the people. all right, guys, all right. >> we're out of time. we're out of time. but thank you very much. again, i'll tell you this. you know, we wanted a head to head, and we did get one. so both of you.thank and we did get one. so both of you. thank you. all right, look, who do you agree with? do you think that crime is going to go up under labour just quickly on this? it's only going to take one serious, serious incident, i think for this whole policy to completely blow up. all right. i'm only going to take one of the early release lot to go on some kind of mad spree. the whole thing will blow up and we're seeing already the labour party blaming this on the tories, on the things were so bad.the tories, on the things were so bad. the only choice we've got is to let this lot out. so if they were that confident that this is going to work, would

they be saying all of that? but anyway, bob on axe says obviously, time to arm yourself for your own safety. well, bob, i probably rode back from that one slightly. i'll be honest with you. but leah says this government needs to be sued for every crime committed by released prisoners. all right. well, rick says it's gone up under the conservatives because so many people cannot afford to eat or heat their homes until the poor in this country are paid better money, crime will always go up. okay. all right. now your verdict is in 95% of you expect crime will go up under labour. 6% of you say it won't. coming up, ben habib has been sacked as deputy leader of reform uk and he's come out swinging at the party's top brass. i'll get the lowdown from reform spokesperson ann widdecombe shortly. but first, british schools. well i mean they weren't woke a long time ago, but anyway, if you don't believe me, just listen to this secret recording. >> i don't agree with the government saying i can't teach critical race theory, but that's also because i know that i would do a betterjob of teaching critical race theory than other people. >> yeah, there's a lot more where that came from. next, i'll

ask the ceo of conservative friends of the commonwealth, sunil sharma, if the government should ban critical race theory the classroom and or not kids are

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight and a recording has been unearthed of a teacher appearing to promote critical race theory with their students. here's a listen of it . students. here's a listen of it. >> i don't agree with the

government saying i can't teach critical race theory, but that's also because i know that i would do a betterjob of teaching critical race theory than other people. so critical race theory would say, you can't be racist to white culture and so it's kind of like, you know, it's like when people say, oh, the theory of evolution. it has the word theory , so it can't be word theory, so it can't be proven. but actually, scientists say we use the word theory even when we're like 95% sure the way the government make it sound, it makes it sound like you know, half the people believe something and half people don't believe something when actually it's probably closer to like 8% of sociologists versus 20. >> well, the school involved there said that there's been no complaints and that the clip was taken out of context. but should we be worried about woke ideology like that infiltrating our schools? i'm joined now by the ceo of the conservative friends of the commonwealth, sunil sharma. sunil, thank you very, very much. i mean, when you hear things like that being said in schools, you know, critical theory, critical race theory would suggest that you

can't be racist towards white people, etc. that that teacher clearly feels he knows better than the government putting critical race theory on a par with the theory of evolution. i mean, what does it make? what do you think of that? >> i think it's totally absurd. >> i think it's totally absurd. >> and it's really worrying that this, you know, this ideology that's been mainly going on in america with critical race theory is now being imported to theory is now being imported to the uk, you know, critical race theory is, is simple. it's focusing on our differences and it's rewarding victimisation. and i think it's something that we really need to be very wary of and very careful that it doesn't continue to spiral into the uk because this is something that i think is it's only going to grow, and i don't know what this government stance will be when it comes to critical race theory, but i think we have to be very careful that we don't see a very, almost an americanisation of our uk schools, >> i'm not really sure what the benefit of teaching an incredibly contested and some would argue, actually quite irrelevant race theory when it comes to this country's history, to a load of people. you would

imagine in many schools, the majority of whom will actually be white as well. i just wonder what kind of psychological issue that that could have on children . that that could have on children. >> well, i think the bigger thing, patrick, people should be focusing on when it comes to school is white boys. they are the group of children who are suffering the most, are the ones who are doing the least well in education and all this will do is make that situation even worse. we're teaching them to feel guilty. we're teaching them to feel bad about things that happened almost a century ago, if not longer, and all that's going to continue to ruin their confidence. and so it makes no sense. we look at all other ethnic groups. you look at indian culture, you look at, british jews, chinese . all these british jews, chinese. all these races are doing better than british white boys. and considering the majority of our population, when it comes to workforce is white and they are male , that's really concerning male, that's really concerning because these boys are going to become one day men, and these men are going to take on jobs and considering that they're going to be, not doing as well on an educational scale that is

bad for all races in this country, because they're going to make up majority of the workforce, and they're declining in standards, is something that we should be talking about. and not critical race theory. yeah. >> i mean, it just make me laugh, really, when people say, oh, i don't actually really think that you can be racist towards a white person. all of that stuff. i mean, i've had people be racist towards me. i mean, yeah, all right. it's not keeping me awake at night, but it has happened. i mean, it is a thing that can happen. anyone can be racist to anybody else as well. it also makes me laugh when you hear about schools. we've not got enough funding. you know. all right. okay, well, what about all of that month long pride stuff that you've somehow found the money for? what about all of these resources and the time that you've got to teach kids incredibly contested racial theory? they seem to find the money in the time and the resources for woke stuff, just maybe not for maths and english. >> it's bizarre. you know, these children should be going into school being learned to be the brightest and best pupils, and it's just not happening. it's happening in other countries. hence why, the productivity is better than ours. i think we're more focused on things that are

irrelevant. this is not going to help any of the children when they get a real job, whether we're talking about pride or critical race theory. what is the purpose of teaching this, if not just creating division, so i think it's really bizarre. it's really concerning. and the focus of these schools should be to try and make our children cleverer and push them further, education wise. and that will improve us when it comes to productivity and work. it seems really bizarre that we're focused on things that are just irrelevant. again, it's something that's being contested in america, which is where we seem to have imported it from. it's completely irrelevant. i think even there, let alone here, and it's bizarre that we're now sitting and discussing this. >> well, indeed. and look, i would like to thank you very much for your time this evening. i knew i talked to you about this again soon. so i've got a feeling that we're going to be heanng feeling that we're going to be hearing quite a lot more about this stuff. and i just feel as though there's something brewing here, and hopefully we can do a bit more to highlight it on this show. ceo, coo of the conservative friends of the commonwealth, er, son alok sharma, you take care. thank you very much. coming up, jonathan

ashworth lost his seat to a pro gaza candidate and it's fair to say he's not happy. >> do you condemn netanyahu, yes or no? >> you say, i am not going to have these guys. >> i'm just a simple question. do you condemn netanyahu? >> yeah. we've got quite a lot more of that coming your way. were these campaigns a threat to democracy? do not want to miss my monologue at ten. but next, ben habib lashes out at the reform uk top brass after he sacked as deputy leader. so is the party actually a united front? what's going i want answers reform spokesperson

next. welcome back to gb news now . as welcome back to gb news now. as thangam debbonaire speaks out against intimidating muslim candidates, does the pro gaza mob represent a threat to our democracy? frankly when will the left wake up to it? that's what i want to know. but first, we welcome reform uk's immigration

and justice spokesperson ann widdecombe. now reform uk has decided to have a hierarchical shake up after they won five seats in parliament, announcing richard tice as their new deputy leader, zia yousef as chairman and lee anderson as the chief whip. so the new structure, however , does leave former however, does leave former deputy leader ben habib seemingly out in the cold just a week after he failed to win his wellingborough seat at the general election. he did hit back earlier today, he wrote i have just been informed by nigel farage that richard tice is taking over as deputy leader of the party. consequently, i no longer hold that position. i am considering my position more generally in light of this change. i've long held concerns about the control of the party and the decision making process. i will reflect on all of this well, and thank you very much for joining us. now i mean, is forjoining us. now i mean, is ben habib right to suggest that there might be certain issues behind the scenes here at reform? it doesn't seem like a particularly united front now . particularly united front now. >> i have been speaking to ben habib this afternoon, and as he says, he is quite literally

reflecting on the situation which has arisen now, it was quite obvious, first of all, your chief whips got to be in parliament, so that had to go to lee anderson. secondly, it's also quite obvious that once nigel had come back as leader , nigel had come back as leader, richard tice was in limbo for some time. i mean, he had no formal position, so obviously the obvious position for him as deputy leader, and that leaves the two previous deputy leaders, being asked to do other things, on which, as far as i can make out, they're reflecting, which is fine. >> i suppose one of the issues is it does appear to have been quite a meteoric rise for zia yusuf, who, you know, let's be honest, until a couple of months ago or even maybe a few weeks ago or even maybe a few weeks ago was not as well known as he is now. i just wonder if there are issues of loyalty there when it comes to ben. >> well, i really don't think they are. i mean, the party is profoundly grateful for all that ben habib has done, and i, for one, fervently hope that he keeps on doing it because he is

our spokesman for the union and he has been terrific in the work that he's done in northern ireland. and i don't think that anybody else could have done it as well. so, no, i think, you know, this is a very straightforward business. there's been a reshuffle, and people have now got to think where they want to go from here. >> okay. all right. well, look, i'll whiz's on to another story. keir starmer has popped across to the united states this week, where his potential plans to rebuild britain's relationship with the eu received high praise and a lot going on. >> i think you're you're seeking closer ties in europe is good for all of us in transatlantic alliance. i think it's a great idea that we're going to be working together on. >> is that the best advert for brexit ever? you know, someone like joe biden endorsing closer ties with europe isn't all day of the week is. >> well, yeah . come on. he >> well, yeah. come on. he doesn't know what day of the week it is. and you know, he obviously had that scripted and managed most of it, but the fact is that he is anti—british. he is that he is anti—british. he is anti—brexit. we know how he behaved in ireland , and, you behaved in ireland, and, you

know, talked about not letting the brits screw around and, and i'm quoting him now, not being vulgar, that that was those were his words. so, i mean, i don't expect him to be friendly to an independent britain. he'd much rather have us in europe while tough joe. that's a matter for the british people. not you. >> yeah, indeed. but but it actually feeds me into my next point here, which is especially really in your brief, in your capacity, with a focus on migration when it comes to reform as well, because migrant madness has once again hit the poush madness has once again hit the polish border. so spear wielding illegal migrants have launched a deadly recent attack on eu border guards. okay, it's left several injured. 121 year old guard died right. the barrage of missiles came from the belarusian side of the border . belarusian side of the border. now this for me an is a big problem. what the labor party are looking at doing at the moment. well, they'll say, oh, we'll stop the boats and we'll look at some kind of returns agreement or whatever we can with the eu. yeah, fine. but unless we can stop that lot coming in, we could end up with

spear wielding illegal migrants here, couldn't we? >> well, i mean, the fact is that that if we go down the route of agreeing any sort of free movement with the european union, anything at all in return for closer cooperation, then you know, we're going to be absolutely out of control. and we're already out of control. and keir starmer is doing nothing about it . let's be clear nothing about it. let's be clear about that. you know, by ditching rwanda without putting anything in its place other than anything in its place other than a lot of international talk, which is actually what he's saying , you know, i think it was saying, you know, i think it was quite right. i forget who said it today, but some conservatives said , you know, he said, oh, said, you know, he said, oh, james cleverly, i think he's actually hung, you know, a great welcome sign from the cliffs of doven welcome sign from the cliffs of dover. and he had, yeah. >> i'm just going to ask, i don't know if possible, if we could just love another look at some of those, spear throwers there because i think it is really quite graphic stuff, and, you know, it does emphasise really what the problem is. so, you know , it's all very well and you know, it's all very well and good for keir starmer to say, oh, you know, look, hey, we're going to scrap rwanda and we're

going to scrap rwanda and we're going to scrap rwanda and we're going to smash the gangs and we're going to do all of this. but that is something we're seeing on our screens there that he is not in control of. he's not in control of the polish border, and he's not in control of what people are. the countries decide to let through, and there is nothing. if we were to sign up to some kind of eu illegal migrant quota system, there is nothing to say that one or many of those people wouldn't end up here as a result of it. they just wouldn't have taken a boat to get here. we'd have flown them in. >> and i mean, it's worth pointing out that if they're behaving that way, it's very difficult to see them as you know, poor souls fleeing persecution. i mean, they are not, and you know that we have to be very clear about and you're quite right, you know, if there's any give at all, either in the terms of quotas or in terms of freedom of movement or anything of that sort, or in terms of, what restrictions we put in place as far as migrants 9°, put in place as far as migrants go, any laxity in that could

indeed result in that sort of thing over him, >> i mean, it is i find the whole thing absolutely terrifying. really seriously that, you know, we are we are. okay, the rwanda thing was, was a bit of a dud. it's been an expensive dud. we're not going to get any money back from rwanda. and part. but yeah , rwanda. and part. but yeah, yeah, give us our money back. >> i mean, we've broken the agreement, not them. >> yeah, we've defrauded ourselves. i mean, we've basically defrauded ourselves. so we've had essentially all of the cost of rwanda without ever really even giving it that much of a chance to work. i'm not convinced it would have worked anyway. but we are where we are with no other plan in place, as far as i can tell at all. you've got spear throwing, illegal migrants breaking into europe as we speak, potentially making their way across the continent to us, and what is to stop them? but just time for one more quick one with you. and if that's all right, because among those people who voted tory in 2019, but not in 2024, so people who went and voted reform really , went and voted reform really, nigel farage is by far the favourite candidate to be the

next tory leader on 25. what are the chances of that doing? can i don't think they're very high. >> i'm sure we will look favourably on applications from conservatives to join reform, but i don't think we want to run that rabble at the moment. >> would you have suella braverman if she applies ? okay. braverman if she applies? okay. all right. well, thank you very much. you take care. i'll see you soon. coming up, i'm joined live in the studio by the former tory mp and chair of the 1922 committee, sir graham brady. we've got to get to the bottom, haven't we? of what on earth is going on with the tory leadership race? but next were the pro gaza campaigns, a threat to our democracy? don't miss my searing take on that. finally, some people on the left are waking up to the mess they helped create . helped create. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. good evening. welcome to your latest gb news, weather

update brought to you from the met office. it looks like it will be a pretty cloudy day for most of us on friday. there's a risk of some very heavy showers across the south—west as well. now, for most of us, high pressure is building in just for a time for the end of the week and into the start of the weekend. that means it will turn that much drier through the next few days, but there's still a risk of some showers. and through this evening, i think central areas are most likely to see the cloudier skies and a risk of some rain through this evening. also, some areas of rain might move into the far south—east from the near continent, where skies remain clear, though to the north across parts of scotland it could be a bit of a fresh start down into the lower single figures. by tomorrow morning, but for most of us a fairly mild start. but as i said, sunshine is going to be a little bit limited through friday. northerly wind drags cloud in perhaps some more heavy rain to the far northwest of scotland throughout friday morning. some sunny spells though, coming through for northern ireland, southwestern areas of scotland also some areas of north eastern england as well. but here we've

got a northerly wind and that's going to keep the temperatures down through the day. and as i said, there is a risk of showers across the south coast throughout the day, particularly as we head into the afternoon into the south—west, we could see some thundery, heavy downpours. but for most of us elsewhere, it should stay dry through friday. quite a lot of cloud around though, so without that lack of sunshine it's not going to be a particularly warm feeling day and we could see some heavier rain move into the east coast of northern england later on in the day. so for most of us, temperatures in the high teens at best possibly scraping 20 or 21 degrees in the far southeast. saturday, there's little in the way of change. we've still got this rain lingering across eastern coasts of northern england and parts of scotland , and once again we scotland, and once again we could see some fairly heavy showers breaking out across parts of wales and south western england. but in any sunshine it will feel quite warm over the weekend, particularly as we head towards sunday. when i think it will be a bit of a drier day. we could see temperatures climbing into the low 20s. >> looks like things are heating

up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news

>> 8:10 pm. i'm patrick christys tonight . christys tonight. >> do you condemn netanyahu? yes or no ? or no? >> you say i am not going to have these guys. >> i'm just a simple question. do you condemn netanyahu ? do you condemn netanyahu? >> the man who shot that video has been charged with terror offences and don't think it's acceptable to start saying don't vote for someone. >> they're not a muslim ? >> they're not a muslim? >> they're not a muslim? >> well, the islamist extremists are targeting mps, aren't they? >> but the people who put you at risk are the people who chased down the street after some of my colleagues who put pictures of me and genocidal liar or whatever it was . whatever it was. >> believe it or not, some people on the left still want to just appease these extremists .

just appease these extremists. also, who starmer talking about here? >> he was actually a really good form and mentally agile. absolutely. across all the detail , i'll absolutely. across all the detail, i'll reveal all and this lot of illegal migrants are on their way to britain after violently breaking into europe. >> also look at a voting record , >> also look at a voting record, she is just a party stooge. she voted for all theresa may's deals. she voted for more net zero. >> very pleased to say that sir graham brady, the former power broker of the tory party, is live in the studio to discuss the next conservative leader. on my panel tonight is telegraph columnist allison pearson, tory peer lord bailey and ex—labour adviser matthew laza. i need you to tell me why we all hate this orang—utan. okay? i need you to tell me why. get ready. britain. here we go.

in november's election. but after a meeting with joe biden at the nato summit, prime minister sir keir starmer said he thinks the president's performing well. >> he was on good form and we covered four more years, no problem. well, look, he was on very good form and i was very pleased to have that opportunity to discuss these issues with him , to discuss these issues with him, and not least this, question of our special relationship, which is very important to him, very important to me, and very important to me, and very important to me, and very important to our two countries staying in the us. >> and a lawyer for alec baldwin has been questioned being questioning rather a police technician over the investigation into the shooting on the film set of rust, which killed a cinematographer. if you're watching on television, you're watching on television, you can see here live pictures from inside the courthouse where those hearings are ongoing. the trial is taking place in santa fe in new mexico. baldwin's lawyer, alex spiro, suggested agents were more interested in prosecuting the hollywood star than finding the source of a live round that led to the death

do you condemn netanyahu? >> so labour has been reluctant to call out the islamic political issue in the past . political issue in the past. well, now it's hurting them. >> i have never known a campaign of such vitriol , such bullying, of such vitriol, such bullying, such intimidation built on the foul and obnoxious lie that i was responsible for genocide, that i had the blood of guards and children on my hands. this is the campaign that was run by a minority of bullies. is the campaign that was run by a minority of bullies . a a minority of bullies. a campaign was organised nationally by a national organisation called the muslim vote, whose campaign was clear on their website, punish mps. >> well, he's not alone. here's shabana mahmood, now the justice minister, i don't think it's acceptable to make threats to people. >> i don't think it's acceptable to send masked men outside a meeting of women with the hope of scaring them and forcing them out. i don't think it's acceptable to start saying, don't for vote someone. they're not a muslim. i don't think it's

acceptable to shout infidel to activists in the street. that is activists in the street. that is a whole other level of, violent, vile politics, >> well, quite. and we all remember this from labour frontbencher jess phillips, don't we? it was an absolutely horrible campaign, the most aggressive, most intimidatory, not just of me, but of the people in my constituency, people in my constituency, people being intimidated, people being told that god, will judge them if they vote a certain way , 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 tires slashed on election day. >> not really naming the problem, though , are they? and problem, though, are they? and look, here's thangam debbonaire, who was going to be digital, culture, media and sport secretary before she lost her seat to the greens. she's outlined a bit of her experience. >> it's easy to craft a narrative that goes , your mp narrative that goes, your mp didn't vote for a ceasefire. if your own party hasn't said we voted twice for a ceasefire and publicly and seeing billboards

vandalised saying, you enabled genocide when you know no , i genocide when you know no, i really haven't, the people who put you at risk are the people who chased down the street after some of my colleagues who put pictures of me and genocidal liar or whatever it was. they threatened me. the people who stood outside labour party meetings and other events. they threaten democracy . threaten democracy. >> but her solution to this, and this is what i think many people find incredibly frustrating, is that she thinks that labour needed to do more to just explain itself to these people . explain itself to these people. >> if the party doesn't want to look to those issues of what did we actually say about gaza? keir was working as a future prime minister on getting back to the peace plan. i'm so proud of that. but where was that written? i was saying not on the doorstep. >> and he didn't say it, but we didn't hear it. >> so the party's got a problem there, i think. >> but the party failed to deal with them properly. >> i think the lack of a strong narrative had consequences. >> i mean, come on, really. and

as far as the establishment media goes, in the run up to the election, channel 4 went out and found a rather fruity guy canvassing for reform who said some horrific things. and then that led the news agenda. for days i've been calling out the problem that those labour mps have faced for months. do you remember this from outside the office of rushanara ali mp? months and months ago? why? why are you here? >> shame on you, shame on you, shame on you. >> labour courted these people. they ignored all the warnings. now they're complaining about it because they've turned against them. the solution cannot and must not ever be appeasement. let's get the thoughts of my panel tonight. daily telegraph columnist allison pearson. i've also got conservative peer lord bailey and former labour party adviser matthew laza allison. how do you feel when you see people are unable or unwilling to name the actual problem here? >> well, we know that jess phillips is no shy, retiring

violet . she's phillips is no shy, retiring violet. she's a you phillips is no shy, retiring violet . she's a you know, she's violet. she's a you know, she's a very powerful, articulate woman. and she was booed horribly at her at her count where she did survive. unlike, you know, there's a lot of , you know, there's a lot of, labour constituencies which are under threat now from from the muslim vote. and i think it's very disappointing they were to prepared say horrible men were vilifying us or saying, you've got blood on your hands, but there's still a hesitation, isn't there, patrick, about naming what it is. and i think there's extreme fear of being found guilty of islamophobia and these people. it is a minority of very, very unpleasant people. and i think that they are to prepared exploit that weakness. and it is it is a weakness. we cannot have a minority and aggressive religious minority in this country trying to dictate british foreign policy. and once they've done that over gaza, what happens next? segregation of men and women. we've got

areas where pubs aren't allowed, you know , we cannot have this. you know, we cannot have this. it's sectarianism and it's very worrying. >> i've seen this stuff first hand. i've been calling it out for months. i've been right in the middle of it for months on several occasions, actually. and if people like channel 4 or the bbc or whatever had really wanted to do a number on some people at this election in the way that certain people decided to go after reform, i will emphasise what that guy said, actor or not, was absolutely appalling. i think everyone can agree with that. however, if they really wanted to do a number on people, all they would have had to do was follow some of these independent candidates around. they weren't interested. >> look, there's two problems here. firstly is are these people receiving the same treatment that everybody else is in politics? if a tory mp uttered anything of this equivalency, they'd be hounded out. they'd have. they'd be doing lawfare, they'd have the police around. they're all the rest of it. so why do certain people say certain things don't have to face the music? that's very important. and the other thing as well, it's normalising a super, super dangerous, aggressive form of campaigning. it starts online with people, organising pilings. now they're turning up outside people's

homes outside their constituency offices. this is a threat to democracy. and it's and it makes being in public life physically dangerous. yeah. >> so go on, i'll ask you about this. do you think it is a threat to democracy? and the kind of follow up to that is when you see thangam debbonaire there saying that the labour party needed to do more to essentially appease these people. i would argue . why? people. i would argue. why? >> well, i mean, i think i think she's right that that perhaps there wasn't there wasn't clear communication of the policy . but communication of the policy. but that doesn't mean that you should ever give in to bullies. i mean, look, jonathan spoke out very, very clearly and passionately there. i've known jonathan. he's from when we were both teenagers and involved in young labour together so long ago, it was still called the young socialists, and, you know, and jonathan's passionate commitment to the labour party and to social justice, the idea that jonathan has, you know, got blood on his hands and people following him down the street. it's utterly intimidatory behaviour. and i'm really glad that he's come out strongly today and said that and said, we

need to look at this. and i think you're right, sean, what we need now, i think we can all agree on this, is that those people who are elected to parliament on a single issue without scrutiny, i think you're right. the mainstream media took their eye off the ball because their eye off the ball because the story wasn't there, needs to be. yeah, they need to be fake. they need to receive the same scrutiny that anybody else would. >> my main issue with it, apart from. yeah, it's a threat to democracy and there's an issue with public safety and stuff. but people have been calling this stuff out and saying this is a problem, and now it's hitting a few people like jonathan ashworth. yeah. you know, and all of a sudden he's got bold as brass. now he's lost his seat. he's out there complaining about an organisation called the muslim vote. we've been talking about that on this show. >> well we talked about that, but that's an issue. >> it's an issue. it's a blind spot to certain communities. i bet if it was a christian vote, they would get confronted. if it was a tory mp, they would confront it. people who run the so called mainstream media, this is their duty to look at this. and but importantly, it's a shame that debbonaire knows her seat because she's one of the good ones. right? but this now

comes down to keir starmer. he's not the leader of opposition anymore. he's the prime minister and he has to call them out. he cannot call these people because of the risks they are to us all. he has to call them out and it means more coming from him than anybody else. and we've got alison. >> we've got testimony from people there saying that, campaigners, their canvassers, who are really just ordinary local people, aren't they? majority of that we're getting tyres let down, massive amounts of threats. people knew where they lived. dogs abuse, absolute dogs abuse in the streets. that puts people off going out and campaigning. right. so that is a real core threat to democracy. it's mafia style, isn't it? >> yes. it really is. and there's also a strong element of misogyny as you said, we've had one of these guys recording a foul tape where he talked about, you know, women will be going to hell and things like that. something i've been concerned about for some time is the heavy postal vote in some of these constituencies. how many of those women are being given access to their own votes and this is, again, patrick. they steer clear of it. you know, it's a very, very it's seen as being a toxic issue. i don't

quite agree with what matthew said because you're almost saying that, you know , these saying that, you know, these people took their eye off the ball. they they a lot of the mass media, they deliberately don't want to talk about this. and with the labour vote going, the i was being generous. >> but you could be right. >> but you could be right. >> there was a lot of labour constituencies now where despite the huge apparent landslide, a lot of the majorities are very slender. now, when you've got a lot of constituencies with only 2 or 3000. yeah majority. this opens the field for more of these guys to move in. and i would use the word blackmail and holding. >> absolutely. and that because one of the things that actually hasn't been talked about much is this was an issue not in constituencies, just where they came close to winning. the gaza campaigners, but in some constituencies, the gaza campaigners who were going to come third or fourth, but they've significant enough, that, that that skewed the result so that people won only by a couple of hundred were otherwise they might have won by that. >> all right guys, well look thank you very much. near the

top. start to the hour coming up. i'll deliver the very first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. and after ollie watkins gave england reason to dream, should keir starmer grant the nafion should keir starmer grant the nation a bank holiday? if we win the euros plus , why do we now the euros plus, why do we now hate this orang—utan ? i'll tell hate this orang—utan? i'll tell you why we hate this orang—utan . you why we hate this orang—utan. anyway, next though, as 2019 conservative party voters who left the party for reform say they want nigel as their leader, would he be able to unite the tory party? i'm very pleased to say i'm about to be joined in the studio by the former power broker of the tory party, sir graham brady. he's live with us and his next. stay

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight we're only on gb news now. coming up, i'll give you a very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. but first, i welcome former chair of the 1922 committee, sir graham brady, now a bombshell new gb news poll has revealed that among those who voted tory in 2019, but not in 2024. so essentially reform voters, nigel farage is by far the favourite candidate to be the favourite candidate to be the next conservative leader. on 25. boris johnson comes in second place with 12% of the vote. suella braverman achieving double the support of kemi badenoch. so sir graham, i've got to ask you about these figures now . does the tory

figures now. does the tory leadership race risk tearing the party apart even more than it already is, do you think? >> i don't think so. >> i don't think so. >> i don't think so. >> i think obviously we are now in opposition. >> we're in opposition in a very small parliamentary party and oddly, i came into parliament first in 1997, in the shadow of a great big labour landslide. >> my experience then actually, was that the party started to pull together in parliament. >> i think we realised there was a lot of work to do. >> there was a responsibility to provide a proper opposition and to hold government to account. >> there are very few people to do the work, even fewer now, and i think that we also started to spend a lot of time together and started to realise we had more in common than we had that divided us. >> so i hope the same thing will happen again now. >> indeed, it was quite unseemly, though i think the first thing that really had to be done was the new election of the chair. your replacement. and that kicked off, didn't it? i'd mark francois in the chair. you're sitting in here now telling me that he didn't recognise bob blackman, that it was a, well, kind of rigged

election. it was a sham election. >> and of course, that was a complete nonsense. >> of course, the election was done quite quickly because i think it was important that we had people to speak up for the parliamentary party. i'm obviously not involved, and i agreed to go and count the votes because they wanted an impartial person to count the votes. so i was there when all of that happened. what caused it was that the whips , i think, had that the whips, i think, had neffer to be helpful, had put a message out saying what the timing of the vote was. now, i think the timing of the vote had changed between that the first message and the whips putting that message out and then the 23rd changed it. and of course the 22 is completely independent from the whips. so i don't think there's any malice in it. but there's any malice in it. but the whips are put a different time out and the 22 quite rightly decides its own time . rightly decides its own time. >> do you think that conservative party members should be allowed to choose who the next leader is ? the next leader is? >> i mean, i've always said, i think when the party is in government, there is a problem with that because you're choosing a prime minister, because the parliamentary party

can obviously throw a prime minister out, because a vote of no confidence will do that. so i think there's a discord in that situation in opposition, which we were in opposition, of course, when the current rules were written and the constitution was put in place. i think it's entirely reasonable to allow the members to have a big debate and a big vote at the end of it, and to have a significant role in choosing the leader , though, that in their leader, though, that in their infinite wisdom , the current infinite wisdom, the current conservative mps might actually select a couple of really quite dud candidates because i would argue maybe theresa may was was kind of she had a coronation, didn't she? >> that didn't go particularly well. rishi sunak it was been a disaster. so, so should it not just be up to the people who want to stand? so let's say you end up with five choices and all of them go to the members. >> well, of course you can make an argument for that. and it's not an unreasonable argument. it isn't what's in the conservative

party's constitution. the constitution says that. we say we are no longer one of them. the parliamentary conservative party has to provide two candidates to the members in the country to choose between comma, unless there is only one. now, in a situation like any other election, if the second candidate drops out as happened with theresa may's election, andrea leadsom withdrew , andrea leadsom withdrew, slightly different when rishi sunak was elected, boris johnson had the numbers to stand. we'd verified that and he chose not to go forward to an election. if you only have one candidate in an election that person wins and it's the same in a in a general election as well. but the constitution of the party makes it very clear what we have to do. and i'm afraid the constitution of the party is very difficult to change and would take a long time to change. >> who should be the next leader of the tories? >> i know all of the candidates. obviously i think a lot of them have got great strengths and i have got great strengths and i have my own preferences. i think i'll keep my counsel on that for

the time being though. >> no, no clues. i mean, come on, you know, there's the well, the kingmaker, aren't you? >> haha. well what i, what i think is really important, i think is really important, i think it's perfectly proper when people say the party has to have a proper debate and think about what went wrong and think about how we can do better, we also need to remember that we have a constitutional duty, and we have to provide a proper opposition, andifs to provide a proper opposition, and it's going to be much needed because the government's majority is far, far too big. >> i'm glad you raised that, because this is this is a concern that let's say you wait until the conservative party conference, which may well happen. i can see the logic behind that , maybe. but in the behind that, maybe. but in the meantime, we could end up with, i don't know, it depends how quickly they do all these things. but we could end up with a labour budget, a completely, radically different immigration policy. i mean, all sorts, you know, votes for kids, for goodness sake. we could end up with all of this, right? so and you guys might not be ready for that. so what would your ideal time frame be? >> well, i'm not going to try to

dictate a time frame. it's not my job to be involved in that. now what i do think is critically important is that my colleagues, my successors, bob blackman as chairman of the 1922 committee and the executive and the party board are cognisant of that duty, which is not just to think about ourselves and think about the kind of debate that might benefit the conservative party. we do have an absolute constitutional duty as the parliamentary opposition. his majesty's official opposition. it's the job that my colleagues in the house of commons are required to do. and so we mustn't lose sight of that. >> yeah, okay. i don't think i'll be quite reassuring to, to a lot of people really. but, another aspect of things i mean, you mentioned there being about the official, official opposition, but there is a potential that keir starmer, might find that his official opposition is sitting behind him, actually, on a couple of things. one of them is this potential rebellion on the two child benefit cap, which could be just around the corner. so you've got the likes of john

mcdonnell and co, they're really whipping it up. i mean he could now be forced by the people he's got behind him to increase the benefits with it massively increasing the welfare state. it could be a problem. >> i thought it was astonishing a few days ago seeing keir starmer saying how welcome it was to have such a huge majority. i think any wise politician will recognise that too big a majority is bad for their own party. it's bad for their own party. it's bad for the government and it's certainly bad for the country. what you need to have is a parliament where some things can be in contention, where there is some question and the more there is a challenge from the opposition side, the less the government benches themselves will feel entitled to provide that opposition. so i think you're absolutely right. the danger for the labour party with that enormous majority, of course , very small percentage of course, very small percentage of the country voted for them as well, which is a very unhealthy situation. i think creates a lot of potential instability for

such a big majority. you would think it would be very solid, but i think it's a very thin, very vulnerable one, and they will be finding big challenge from their own benches, and it's going to be a very important test that may well come quite soon. as to whether they are in a position to deliver on the promises they made about fiscal discipline, whether they are really serious about that and if they face that first rebellion down. and, you know, i think it's important they do or they will lose that fiscal credibility, then what's going to happen the next time? will there be a bigger revolt ? and there be a bigger revolt? and we'll start to see just how tighter grip keir starmer and his colleagues really have with the labour party. >> it is going to be fascinating one, because that really for a lot of people on the left and on the hard left, you know, the two child benefit cap, they see that as, as an offence, you know, that's offensive. but actually there are a huge amount of financial implications if you get rid of that, if he can stand that down, fair enough. but i think i think he might struggle.

so great. thank you very much. my pleasure. great to have you on the show. i hope to talk to you again very, very soon. and, good luck with everything. all right. and, coming up, should we get bank holiday if football comes home on sundays? this has shifted, so doesn't it? i'll tell you what, keir starmer said. plus, why has england lost all faith in this orang—utan. yes, i promise you that there is a slightly more serious undercurrent to all this. i'll reveal but yes,

yes. yes. this is patrick christys. tonight we're only on gb news, and it's time to bring you the very first look at tomorrow's front pages. we go to the metro. come on, england, may you reign over spain. but the king pleads. do try to win it by the 90th minute. so there we go. that's what's on the front of the metro. the telegraph. violent prisoners . oh, sorry. violent prisoners. oh, sorry. let's go to the mail. i've got ahead of myself the daily mail. labour accused of scare tactics

over full jail. so warnings of collapse in law and order within weeks as 20,000 inmates are set for early release to free up cells. this is labour letting crims back out on the streets early, isn't it? we'll talk about that. the guardian water bill rises show contempt for customers, yeah . fine. all customers, yeah. fine. all right. union warns prime minister over public sector pay deals. interesting. this keir starmer is on a collision course with unions after playing down the chance of real terms pay increases for public sector staff in forthcoming negotiations. that is going to be one to watch that everybody. what should i go to now? what should i go to? the times in gareth, we trust far wants southgate to stay for the world cup. of course they do. they kept him in anyway . gareth kept him in anyway. gareth southgate has got a job for life there. but anyway, prisoners to be freed after 40% of sentence. and it is on that topic that i introduced reintroduced my press pack. daily telegraph columnist allison pearson, conservative peer lord bailey and former

labour party adviser matthew laza allison . crims, crims laza allison. crims, crims everywhere under labour. >> well, far be it from me to be rude about the previous conservative administration, but what a bloody mess they've left to clear up. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> i mean, the prisons are full. i do agree with this timpson guy. they're getting in. i think that's very good. and he's saying a lot of women are in prison, including some, as i've said before, who've been in into prison for not paying the bbc licence fee. they're full, they're full. patrick, look, the water, you know, sewage in the sea everywhere you look, the utilities are in a terrible state. so. yeah, yeah, they've got to do something. i think it's terrible. there are lots of men out on probation who have been violent criminals or sex criminals who are then repeat offenders when they're out on probation. but we need we need to build more prisons. there was a very good cartoon actually, today, which i really liked , today, which i really liked, which showed some male prisoners

and somebody desperately trying, trying to say to them, could you identify as women to go into a women's prison ? gosh, it'll women's prison? gosh, it'll probably come to that. >> well, there we go , sean. you >> well, there we go, sean. you know, maybe there is actually quite a lot of truth to what we're going to hear keir starmer say about everything now, which is i've just had a look at this andifs is i've just had a look at this and it's an absolute mess. >> firstly, that's absolutely a lie because none of this was a secret. everything that's happened and people say, oh my gosh, the public finances and the mess. it's not the first time they see them. so that's nonsense. but to focus on the prison thing, there's two ends to this debate. we should be looking at shorter sentences for the right people, but that has to be planned and done properly. you can't just open the doors and let them out, because the other end of that is poor communities that will then be filled with criminals. and one of the greatest drivers of crime is the idea that you get away with it. so if you are young, you come from a poor community and the criminals come back, you think, well, there's no risk here. so so it's a very nuanced debate and it has to be handled. >> that's a really good point, actually, because i mean, earlier on in the show, i played

some footage of some shoplifting and a bit of machete action as well, and that seems to be happening all the time by people who clearly don't feel the consequences of this. and i can't help but wonder whether or not if word goes round prisons, which i imagine it is now, that you could be out of deserving 40% of your sentence, then that reduces the deterrence even more. matthew. >> look, i think there are two, two issues here. one is the fact that the prisons are literally full. there is an issue just before the election campaign when the government was having to, release people early because they are literally no prison places. and, you know, i may say keir starmer can walk on water, but he can't build a prison in week. >> well, okay. >> well, okay. >> yeah, but so that's so that's, that's the issue now i think secondly and actually it ties into it, james timpson, who's basically a non—party figure, you know, his family have traditionally been tories. he's been he's been put in charge of the prison system. we need real reform. so as alison says, those serious offenders are in prison for longer. but we don't have the revolving door on people on low sentences. >> they're actually what's going to happen. we are one serious

offence from one of these people. if, if and i absolutely i mean, it's grim. it doesn't happen. i hope to god this doesn't happen. but someone got let out in the next couple of weeks, 40% goes out, commits a rape or murder of a child or something that already happens. >> and we mustn't use that as a reason to do or to not do this, it has to be managed carefully. there's another additional thing. they can do as well. they should change the rules around tagging. so if you are going to let people out early, give them a tag so you know where they are because that helps them reduce their re—offending. that's important. >> all right. let's whiz it on to another topic. now so should keir starmer grant the nation a bank holiday if england win the euros final on sunday? well, the pm didn't rule it out. >> if england win, do we all get an extra day off? >> well, we should certainly mark the occasion. i don't want to jinx it. i went to the last euros finals. i want to go through that again. so don't want to jinx anything. we must mark it in some way. >> so, sir keir starmer previously backed the idea of

bank holidays for england, winning major tournaments. obviously the concern is that it could actually cost the taxpayer, you know, a heck of a lot of money. what do you make of that? should we get a bank holiday? if the three lions roar? allison. >> no, we should not. i mean, basically about 6 million people in the country every day is a bank holiday, isn't it? really? it's not. you've got we've got a productivity . productivity. >> watch out for my gb crisis , >> watch out for my gb crisis, >> watch out for my gb crisis, >> no. i think a nice open top bus ride. i really hope they win. i'm very excited. let's all hope that they win. but no, we can't go giving. we've already got an awful lot of bank holidays, haven't we? >> the thing is. well look, we can see what we can see. what's going to happen if england do win. there's going to be a lot of sorry, i can't can't make it in on the monday. on got this calf. you know i can't you know and that's just from you. yeah exactly. >> we absolutely should have a bank holiday if england win. for what. there's two reasons. firstly i'm with the king. they have to win in the 90 minutes

because the penalties was horrific. i can't go through that again. but more importantly, there's no doubt the country is in the doldrums. and if something can lift us all up, if something could give us an extra ten minutes of our family, it might be important for our well—being. because in the next four years we're going to have to get we're going to have to get to work to get this country back. give us a day off. what i will say, though, is matthew is what what a pass keir starmer's been served up so far. >> the tories are eating themselves alive. you've got the chairman of the 1922 committee who's been elected in what people are calling a rigged election. >> well, were they close, close the polls early england might win the euros the economy, which is which has got nothing to do with him so far. >> it'sjust with him so far. >> it's just been boosted even more than whatever. we are sad to see net migration figures just come down naturally. i mean, goodness gracious me, i'm only gutted because in 97, when blair won, the timing was such that we won the eurovision song contest about three weeks later. >> look, i'm with alison on this, the lib dems have jumped on this bandwagon saying we should have a bank holiday. the truth of the matter is, it's the summer, so you know, lots of

lots of kids are kids will be off school pretty much anyway. certainly they're already off we hav scotland and wales an extra day somewhere later in the year to balance mr gradgrind, i think no to a bank holiday. yes to a big celebration. no to a bank holiday. >> hey, look, a bank holiday will up our productivity a good rest and then we get straight back to the kind of guys in fame started to become in favour of a four day week. i hate, i hate that idea. >> oh, he's in the law. they do a four day week was the last time we won anything 1966 under a labour government. >> give the people a break. come on, bank holiday government come on, bank holiday government come on bank holiday. >> i'm sure that's what they were thinking as they were taking on the germans there and the absolutely come for harold, the absolutely come for harold, the harold wilson . the harold wilson. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> do it right. anyway, england's dramatic late victory in last night's semi—final sent supporters into a bit of a spin, and the us rock group the killers were keen to make sure that fans at their gig didn't miss out in a european championship final. >> that's exactly what england.

and extinguish the dutch flag and down got . covid al fayed to and down got. covid al fayed to ella toone jo cox boxt boiler .gov. there you go. the holibobs. >> meanwhile , over at dortmund >> meanwhile, over at dortmund zoo. walter, the orang—utan has boldly predicted the winner of the euro final . who have you the euro final. who have you gone for? walter okay, well, we see walter ambling over. he's got to choose between spain and england, and he's gone for spain. all right. well, apparently walter sided with the netherlands in the last match, and look how that turned out. so have that, walter. all right. who you think you are, mate? right. but you're rubbish. you're useless. you've got no idea what you're doing. you're a complete fraud. we approached walter to offer a right of reply, and he told us. who .

reply, and he told us. who. >> memorial. >> memorial. >> i don't believe a word of that. walter. >> isn't he walter? >> isn't he walter? >> isn't he walter? >> isn't it? is he german? he's in dortmund zoo. >> can't you tell? he's got the german twang, mate. >> well, as a german, i'm not surprised you voted against it. >> well, i can just say is, i'm very sad that we didn't cut back to your little bopping along to the killers. they're killers? >> yes, indeed. right. coming up, who's keir starmer talking about here any second now? any second now. >> is he now implying that president biden is senile? >> is he ? >> is he? >> is he? >> no. we had a really good bilateral yesterday . bilateral yesterday. >> okay, i'll reveal all of that and more of tomorrow's newspaper front pages when i'm back in just couple of minutes. so stay tuned.

welcome back to patrick christys. now, i've got some more front pages for you. let's do it. we're going to go in with the independent and the injustice of indefinite prison terms now. oh, come on. as labour moves to reduce the time criminals spend in jail, david blunkett joins 70 criminal justice experts backing the independent's call for a category of prisoners trapped inside. all right. fine. daily express ban them now. we bought a deadly crossbow in just two minutes, just hours after the nafion minutes, just hours after the nation was shot by a crossbow attack that left three people dead.the attack that left three people dead. the express was able to buy a similar weapon with no questions asked . yeah, okay, i questions asked. yeah, okay, i will. i'm not coming into bat for crossbows here, by the way, if anyone says that. but sometimes just sometimes it is, you know, the lunatic who has the crossbow as opposed to maybe the crossbow as opposed to maybe the fact that they can get one themselves. there are other ways to kill people. but anyway, they are. starmer faces mutiny on child benefit from labour backbenchers. a good story this

yes , i'm keen for us to just yes, i'm keen for us to just touch on this a little bit because i spoke about it with graham brady, about you. i'll put it to you that keir starmer is going to realise, isn't he, that his stonking majority actually could be a bit of a problem because he's got a load of people behind him there who i bet are bang in favour of scrapping this cap. and actually he can't do it because otherwise we get bankrupt, wouldn't we? >> so i mean, the two child benefit cap is unfair. in principle labour's against it. but as you say, there ain't no money to pay to pay for lifting it. so there'll be, you know, there'll be discussions with the, with the new mps. i remember 97. it was about it was actually a child benefit issue. it was the first rebellion as well. frank field, the rebellion was involved in it with harriet harman. so you need to handle this very carefully. >> this is a problem for him. i think. this is alison. this could be a problem for her. he's going to find out exactly who's sitting behind him. >> yeah, but it's very it's a it's a very tough one, isn't it, patrick? because we have got a birth crisis. you know, we've got a population crisis. we do need to encourage people to have children. so if they're going to

introduce this, i liked the child benefits as controversial view when it was a universal benefit because a lot of women they think why give it to rich people? but because it was a it was something everybody had it all. and straight to the mum, all. and straight to the mum, all mum went straight to the mum. you had your sort of child. i mean it was a family allowance when i was a little kid and it meant a lot to my mum. i liked it being a universal benefit, it's interesting, it encouraged you to feel that you are part of a something special. the state valued you as as a mum. >> because there is, there is, there's that, there's all of that and there is the side of it as well that no doubt quite a few people are in. keir starmer's backbenchers will be making the point, which is, you know, you know, how dare you stop paying people who need the benefits the most if they've got young kids, young single mums or whatever they might say, you know, he's going to have to try and face that down. >> sure, he's real. problem is going to be is we've grown the population so rapidly. many people are economically inactive. and now he wants to add bills. child benefit being one of them. i don't think he can afford it. we have a crisis

around housing. if you in london alone, we spend £90 million a month on temporary accommodation on that one measure. why i say thatis on that one measure. why i say that is because if you just add those two things together, the government cannot afford these things. so again, labour are going to be forced with a lot of practical decisions to make and a big row with scottish labour, because scottish labour is officially against the two child benefit cap. >> so there's going to be tension with all those new scottish mps. 30 odd. >> yeah, absolutely. well, look, now sir keir starmer met joe biden for the first time in washington yesterday ahead of a nato summit. and he surprised a few people with this claim about the us president. >> they were implying that president biden is senile, is he? >> no. we had a really good bilateral yesterday. we were billed for 45 minutes. we went on for the best part of an hour. we went through a huge number of issues at pace. he was actually a really good form and mentally agile . absolutely. across all agile. absolutely. across all the detail .

the detail. >> guys, i have just received something here. seriously. and this is you couldn't time this. we're going to try and get this cupped we're going to try and get this clipped up for you and make it on air. but we've only got a couple of minutes, it appears that president biden has just interviewed, sorry, introduced president zelenskyy as president putin on stage at nato. i'm going to play you a little clip next to my microphone here now. so now i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. >> ladies and gentlemen, president putin. >> oh, you hate to see it. you hate to see it. yeah. >> i've got to say this right . >> i've got to say this right. forget that he's the president of the free of america and leads the free world. or is that it's just on a personal level. he will live longer. he's health will live longer. he's health will be better if someone alleviates him from this. >> absolutely. well, it's going to be it's going to be jail, hasn't it? yeah. it's got to be the first lady. he's got to tell him. >> but he's party. should have some sympathy for him some. >> well they're starting to but

it's just, it's, it's i think the person he trusts most obviously you know they're a real team is. and i think the first lady's got the future of the free world in her hands. >> yeah. she's got to. >> yeah. she's got to. >> and hopefully you know hopefully this is another nail in the coffin of him. restanding because he needs to as you say go and have a nice retirement without the burden of office. >> he enjoys being first lady a bit. that should be first lady forever. >> the american people are generous. they'll always remember as first lady and treat her as such. he cannot keep going for his own personal health. and of course the whole of us. there's a number of people in the world who will take great offence. to what? he's just massive. >> yeah. yeah, absolutely. >> yeah. yeah, absolutely. >> i mean, paul keir, when asked, is he senile? he can hardly say yes. he's a bit doddery can he? i mean, yes, he has to say he was great. you know. >> so i mean that would be the headline. yeah. >> actually first day of the week. it was, you know, and he thought i was rishi sunak or liz truss or boris johnson. >> take your pick. yeah. >> take your pick. yeah. >> unfortunately for president biden, he may well not know that he's just met sir keir starmer. but yeah, if you are just

joining us then yeah, apparently what he has, he's introduced zelenskyy as president putin. so yeah. all right sandra says great britain union jack as. alison who's your greatest britain please. >> it's going to be suella braverman the only person telling the truth about how rubbish her conservative government was and how she did try to warn them, she's getting criticised, but i think a lot of voters will really welcome her honesty. >> okay. good start. go on. john >> okay. good start. go on. john >> mine's is ollie watkins for that goal . oh >> mine's is ollie watkins for that goal . on he saved all 70 that goal. on he saved all 70 million of us from pure heartache. he raised i think he just include the scots, the welsh and the northern irish. >> they're sure they wanted to see us win. >> do i have to believe that. but look come on. when he scored, it was unbelievable. if that was a hollywood script, you'd have said, come on, don't be so silly. yeah, he saved us. and you know what? he may have got us a bank holiday. >> he may have got your bank holiday. absolutely. i'll just take this opportunity to emphasise that i was trapped in here last night and couldn't

watch that, but, yeah, other people were able to go and watch the game anyway. matthew, who's your greatest briton? >> so mine is the new work. and pensions secretary, liz kendall, in a slightly more serious, who has today set out her plan to get britain working again, which is what we've all been talking about to get britain to get more people of working age. absolutely vital. liz has hit the ground running all right. and she's going to be a great minister for, for ollie watkins. >> absolutely. and when i get off, i'll just ask my executive producer what it was like to see that live. so. right. okay so go on, alison, here's your union. jack, please. it's mad ed miliband cover our countryside with pylons to no great effect. >> and he's going to return us to the flintstones. >> all right. bold. okay. what's a good start again? go on. >> mines. is the itv sitcom named piglets. the police don't laugh. it's a serious thing. because, look, denigrating the police is not is not good for anyone. it makes us all unsafe. they could have named it something else. the police are up in arms if you're really bad. and one of the things we really have to do in this country is raise the morale of the police,

because it's better for us all. >> all right, matthew and sorry, alison. mine's suella braverman and kemi badenoch for fighting like rats in a sack when the tories need to take it, you know, just to be quiet, have a little period of silence and internally reflect before this public, fight. yeah, fine. >> right. today's winner of the union jackass is ed miliband. oh, i'll win one day. >> oh, come on, he's. » .— >> oh, come on, he's. >> i think seriously, this we've got to watch. this guy does not appear as far as i can tell, to have any regard for other people's. >> who's going to be barney rubble to his fred flintstone. that's what i want to know here we go. >> ed miliband, of course, will deny all of that. and presumably he's a great man. he's a very competent, great man with a bright future ahead of him. all right. anyway, thank you very much, everybody. thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you to everybody. as we're watching and listening at home, i will be back tomorrow at 9 pm. to round off your week. but in the meantime enjoy headliners >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. good evening. welcome to your latest gb news weather

update brought to you from the met office. it looks like it will be a pretty cloudy day for most of us on friday. there's a risk of some very heavy showers across the south—west as well. now for most of us, high pressure is building in just for a time for the end of the week and into the start of the weekend. that means it will turn that much drier through the next few days, but there's still a risk of some showers and through this evening, i think central areas are most likely to see the cloudier skies and a risk of some rain through this evening. also, some areas of rain might move into the far south—east from the near continent, where skies remain clear, though to the north across parts of scotland it could be a bit of a fresh start down into the lower single figures by tomorrow morning. but for most of us a fairly mild start. but as i said, sunshine is going to be a little bit limited through friday. northerly wind drags cloud in perhaps some more heavy rain to the far northwest of scotland throughout friday morning. some sunny spells though , coming through for though, coming through for northern ireland. southwestern areas of scotland, also some areas of scotland, also some areas of scotland, also some areas of northeastern england as well . but here we've got

well. but here we've got a northerly wind and that's going to keep the temperatures down through the day. and as i said, there is a risk of showers across the south coast throughout the day, particularly as we head into the afternoon into the south—west, we could see some thundery, heavy downpours. but for most of us elsewhere, it should stay dry through friday. quite a lot of cloud around though, so without that lack of sunshine it's not going to be a particularly warm feeling day and we could see some heavier rain move into the east coast of northern england later on in the day. so for most of us, temperatures in the high teens at best possibly scraping 20 or 21 degrees in the far south—east. saturday there's little in the way of change. we've still got this
