lisa mckenzie . plus, the most lisa mckenzie. plus, the most important part of the show your messages, they come straight to my laptop. gbnews.com/yoursay. and this show has a golden rule we don't do boring. not on my watch . i just won't have it watch. i just won't have it a big two hours to come. a disgusting ceremony in paris. that's my take at ten. but first, my big opinion. that's my take at ten. but first, my big opinion . prince first, my big opinion. prince harry, the world's least happy millionaire, strikes again. appearing in an itv documentary entitled tabloids on trial, he reveals that the uk is now too dangerous a place to take his wife meghan and that his noble fight against the press was a big factor in the rift between him and his family. now phone hacking is a shameful chapter in the history of british journalism, but prince harry's spiteful war against the newspapers goes beyond this

appalling crime. it's a damaging obsession which, if these figures in the elite had their way , would threaten the ability way, would threaten the ability of journalists and broadcasters to hold wealthy and powerful figures to account. harry, who has made moaning about his life an olympic sport, said in the tv interview that it would be nice if all of the royals could pursue this legal action against the newspapers as a family. who is this man to lecture anyone about family values? when he threw those closest to him under the bus in that disgraceful oprah winfrey interview in which he allowed a family member to effectively be branded a racist for the great crime of wondering which of the parents their unborn child would take after harry has done interviews slamming king charles's qualities as a father, he embarrassed his brother william with a revelation about a fight they had which led to a right hook from william, causing harry to fall to the floor. poor

diddums brothers fall out , diddums brothers fall out, families fight. this should have stayed behind closed doors, but harry, of course needed material for his tedious book. spare the only use for which i've found is as a doorstop. so he was happy to auction off intimate family secrets to the highest bidder and compare harry's needless and very public war against the newspapers, which has seen him face the humiliation of withdrawing his libel action against the mail on sunday to the discreet way in which prince william settled with rupert murdoch for a huge sum out of court in order to preserve the integrity and privacy of the family. that is how it's done . family. that is how it's done. in this latest tv interview , in this latest tv interview, harry has talked about abuse , harry has talked about abuse, intrusion and hate. well, he must have been looking in the mirror now. the roots of this are likely in the tragic death of his mother , diana. one can't

of his mother, diana. one can't imagine what he went through as a little boy following his mother's hearse on the day of the funeral, something that should never have been allowed to happen. but diana was killed by foreign paparazzi pursuing her car into a paris tunnel, a car driven by a speeding , drunk car driven by a speeding, drunk security guard employed by the al—fayed family. for that to be the basis of a vicious attack on the basis of a vicious attack on the british press is a punishment that does not fit the crime . the truth is, harry, that crime. the truth is, harry, that you're famous and a royal, which bnngs you're famous and a royal, which brings with it untold privilege, and it comes at a price that will never change. sorry, man, them's the breaks . but let me them's the breaks. but let me tell you, it's better than what some of my viewers and listeners go through as they battle on a daily basis to put food on the table , to clothe their kids, to table, to clothe their kids, to stay on top of the credit cards, pay stay on top of the credit cards, pay the mortgage or rent, and to keep the lights on. i might send harry, the world's smallest

violin. it won't cost me much in post and packaging. now, as it happens , i would like prince happens, i would like prince harry to reunite with his uk family and come back to this country. i am in a mood to forgive and i'd like him to bnng forgive and i'd like him to bring his wife with him and their lovely kids. after all, poor old king charles, still battling cancer, has barely seen them . but this can only happen them. but this can only happen with a full apology and a promise to completely change his behaviour and put the family and his country first. from now on, i won't hold my breath . and i won't hold my breath. and controversially, i actually share harry's concerns about the safety of him and his family. i think that he, meghan and the kids should have top level armed royal protection wherever they go. why? well, because whilst he has left the family and given up his royal duties, it was not harry's decision to be born. the

son of the king. and i'm deeply concerned about the safety of harry and meghan both here and abroad. harry's right. he, meghan and the kids are at risk and they must be protected. the dangeris and they must be protected. the danger is real. look at what happened to donald trump just three weeks ago. i know it's controversial and i know that many, perhaps most of you , won't many, perhaps most of you, won't agree with me, but it's my view that when it comes to keeping this couple safe, harry and meghan, it should be money. no object. but beyond that , harry object. but beyond that, harry and i part company. harry has created a full time job out of feeling sorry for himself as he works out which of the reported 16 bathrooms that he should use in his us mansion. he needs them because the effluents pouring out of him via podcasts , books out of him via podcasts, books and tv shows is unending and his reputation is in the toilet. sadly, it's too late for harry to flush away the damage he's

done. to flush away the damage he's done . your reaction ? done. your reaction? gbnews.com/yoursay should we be paying gbnews.com/yoursay should we be paying for harry's security? i'll get to your messages shortly. but first, tonight's top pundits journalist and political commentator benedict spence , model, broadcaster and spence, model, broadcaster and the green goddess herself, diana moran and anarchist and academic doctor lisa mackenzie. great to see all three of you. let me start with you, benedict. nice to see you. and welcome to the show. your reaction to prince harry's latest tv interview and his concerns about his safety and that of his wife. >> i just honestly, it's just it's unbearable to keep on heanng it's unbearable to keep on hearing the same old, same talk about me and my mom loves me. well, no, to be fair , you have well, no, to be fair, you have to keep on talking about this because he keeps on doing about it. it's it were sort of just reaching the stage where, as you said, you'd like to see a reconciliation. i think most people would like to see reconciliation. they'd like to see a dialling down of all of

this. but we never get it. we just get more whingeing, more moaning and more complaints. and you have to just say to yourself at some point, if you would like this sort of protection, you kind of need to take a little bit more responsibility. you cannot be so antagonistic, which, let's be clear, is part of the reason why you don't have that security right now is that there has been a fracturing of your relationship. you're not playing an active role as a member of the royal family. that's why it's gone. and nobody's saying that you have to sort of come back and go back to cutting ribbons and all that sort of thing. you don't necessarily need to do that, but until there is some goodwill, i don't see how it's ever going to end up in a positive outcome for him. what part of that doesn't he understand? >> interesting. diana moran i think for once, the harry's right on this occasion when he talks about the safety of him and his family, he thinks meghan is not safe here in the uk without royal protection. i think he's right. >> i do think he's right on that, and especially because she's high profile as well. and there are dear little children. yeah, but i agree with you . i am yeah, but i agree with you. i am absolutely fed up with his

whingeing all the time. and it also makes me think he's got a lot of money himself. he doesn't have to live in that enormous house. he could sort of downsize a little bit and help towards security for himself. >> so you feel that he needs to make a contribution to his own security when he's here in the uk? >> i do, i do, and that's because of his poor attitude. >> that's why you think if he had a better attitude, you'd be happy to splash the cash. >> then people wouldn't be perhaps gunning for him. quite so much if he was still, a pleasant member of the royal family instead of this undermining that he's doing all the time. >> well, i think that ultimately, lisa mackenzie, it doesn't matter what harry says or does, he is a target. his family are a target because he is the son of the king of the united kingdom. >> yes, he is, and he gets lots of privileges. and he's had a very nice life, actually,

because of that. yeah, i accept i mean, the royal family, i wouldn't swap places with any of them. yeah. the life they live, andrew. and especially especially i want to tell you that guy knows how to live. i think the only one i would swap places with is the their pets. i think that's the only ones that are treated. yeah maybe. >> maybe one of king charles's horses. >> yeah. because they get treated quite well don't they? yeah, that's true, but you know, he's he's in america. he's in the us. he's chosen to do that. he sees himself as a, you know, the clooneys or the obamas, the obamas, the clintons. yeah. that's where he's put that's where him and his wife are sort of putting themselves to do that. you've got to have a lot of money, a lot of money, much more money than he has actually got. yeah. so if that's what he's aiming for, he's aiming to be some sort of world leader. yeah. well, i think he needs to be more realistic is, you know, the royal family have never been known for their intelligence , known for their intelligence, brains or logic. yeah so i think

he needs to be more realistic. cutting the ribbon and waving is actually very suited for that. there you go. >> well , look, there you go. >> well, look, i'll there you go. >> well , look, i'll get to there you go. >> well, look, i'll get to your messages shortly. i know it's an unfashionable view that the british taxpayer should be stumping up for harry's safety and that of his family, but i specialise in unfashionable, unfashionable opinions. let me know your thoughts, gbnews.com/yoursay. but next up in the big story, as donald trump's running mate describes women without kids as childless cat ladies do parents make better politicians? and why are fewer women choosing to have babies in the first place? i'll be asking. britain's best known political double act, neil and christine hamilton

well. big reaction to my big opinion. it's my view that we need to pay for the security of

prince harry and meghan markle . prince harry and meghan markle. should they return to the uk. it's a controversial opinion. a big reaction on the message board. gbnews.com forward slash your say stuart says mark security for harry and meghan paid by the taxpayer. absolutely not. do we want him and her back? absolutely not. we've also got more. babs says stay away harry and meghan. but if you don't pay for your own security, betty is not happy with my assessment of the circumstances of diana's death. did i hear dolan say that princess diana died because of being pursued by paparazzi ? she died because the paparazzi? she died because the driver was drunk and she was not wearing a seatbelt. barbara says harry and wifey make themselves a target. i would be glad never to hear or see from them again. look, lots more of your messages to get to gbnews.com forward slash your say. but it's time now for this . yes, it's time for

now for this. yes, it's time for the big story and hollywood actress and friends star jennifer aniston has hit out at donald trump's running mate j.d. vance , for referring to women vance, for referring to women without children as cat ladies. take a listen to his original remarks made to fox news in 2021. >> effectively run in this country via the democrats, be it via our corporate oligarchs by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made. and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. and it's just a bafic miserable, too. and it's just a basic fact. you look at kamala harris, pete buttigieg , aoc, the harris, pete buttigieg, aoc, the entire future of the democrats is controlled by people without children. >> i get otaka just nodding his head sagely like that with the poker face. >> but is it right to suggest that people who have had children make for better politicians? or is this outright sexism and misogyny and with falling birth rates, why are fewer women choosing to have kids? let's get reaction from

britain's best known political double act, neil and christine hamilton. christine, firstly, your reaction to what j.d. vance said three years ago? >> well, i think jennifer aniston has, overreacted, to be honest. i don't think he would have got away with it in this country. he'll get away with it. i mean, anybody who was going to vote for trump isn't going to be persuaded by this. >> and if i was in america and was going to be a trump voter, it wouldn't stop me. but as a childless cat lady, i have no children. i'm child free, we've come on, you know, women who didn't have children used to be described as barren. goodness knows, even if it was, even if it was the husband's fault. so we've moved on from there. but i prefer child free. and in 2019, andrea leadsom came a cropper on all this because she said that theresa may was not basically a fit person to run the country because she had no children and therefore didn't have a stake. there was such an outright outrage that she had to withdraw from the leadership. the rest is history. but i think it's a pretty sexist thing to say. you

know, he's wrong because she does have children. she has two step children. and to say that she doesn't love those stepchildren, they're the children of her husband. she's apparently known as mamala. they decided she didn't want to be known as stepmom, so she's known as mamala. i just think it's a ridiculous thing to say. and if you suddenly become the vice president elect, everything you've ever said in the days of now and the day of social media, everything is going to be up for grabs. and frankly , as i said, grabs. and frankly, as i said, i think it's a very sexist remark. you would never have said that about a man. never have said it about a man. never have said it about a man. and the idea that just because a woman is child free, she doesn't have a stake in the future of the country is ludicrous. and frankly, insulting. >> okay, well, that's interesting . we've got a tweet, interesting. we've got a tweet, neil hamilton from miriam cates. okay, so if we could get that one up. she just tweeted this out earlier in the week. she said of course politicians don't have to be parents, but having

children does give you a different perspective on the future. raising kids makes you less tolerant of liberal individualism and more keen on maintaining boundaries that protect children. parents voices are important . is she right, are important. is she right, neil? >> well, i think she's got a point, doesn't it? when you look through recent history at our political leaders who haven't had children, who are the great successes edward heath, michael foot , theresa may, i successes edward heath, michael foot, theresa may, i mean, it's a fine galere , isn't it? i mean, a fine galere, isn't it? i mean, cats hang on, hang on. >> may i interrupt? talking of johnson, who's boris? who's got 7 or 8 children? wasn't exactly a fine example either of an outstanding prime minister. >> well, maybe those political leaders outsourced that to boris, and he's to happy oblige. >> but can i can i just >> but can i can ijust interrupt and fact check you for legal reasons? our fact checking team at mark dolan tonight can confirm that boris johnson has 27 children and counting . 27 children and counting. >> oh, i do apologise, boris. >> oh, i do apologise, boris. >> i'm so sorry for underestimating your priapic abilities. >> i've got. i've got a

department here which is the equivalent of bbc verify. a bit more accurate, but of course cats have featured in trump campaigns before. >> do you remember? i think it was last time, maybe the time before he was talking about the way to get the women's vote was grab them by the pussy. i didn't really quite understand what he meant. nevertheless, that's, you know, apologies for anyone offended by that remark. >> yes, exactly. well what happened was a terrible thing for trump to say , and there's no for trump to say, and there's no point in digging it up now. i mean, i do apologise. >> well, that's what the democrats are doing to jd vance we're talking about here. so twitter archaeology, there's a whole department of the democratic campaign that's going to be devoted to this . but i to be devoted to this. but i think all this is already priced into the trump campaign. isn't it? you know, we've heard it all before. there's nothing. so outlandish or appalling that can be dragged up today that trump hasn't gloried in in the past, and it never held him back. absolutely >> now, neil, just going forward in the course of this chat, can you keep your pussy to yourself, let me ask you, christine , do we

let me ask you, christine, do we demonise women that don't have children , characterising them as children, characterising them as selfish, perhaps, or even ungodly in some way? >> well, i wouldn't say ungodly, no, but yes, selfish and don't forget, people have no idea. unless a woman tells them why they don't have children. so you could be treading on very dangerous eggshells. and i suppose one of the reasons, i mean, i i've never watched friends, but i gatherjennifer aniston was big in that. apparently she had a whole load of, i vie, whatever it's called. ivf, which was very unsuccessful. so it's obviously a raw nerve for her, but no . a raw nerve for her, but no. yes. no. yes. i've been characterised as selfish. we've been characterised as selfish because we didn't have children. we didn't want children. by the time we were 33, before we got married. and between 33 now, you can have children until you're about 50. but in those days you know, 40 was knocking it a bit and those seven years were pretty busy, we were having to

fight the bbc, a great big libel action. and to be perfectly honest, having a family was the last thing on our mind. but it doesn't make us selfish. and i would, miriam cates, has basically said the same thing as jd vance that childless women don't have such a stake in the country, do we? not have nephews and nieces? do we not have great nephews and nieces, etc, etc? and i think it's a grotesque slur, frankly, on women who are child free, but also perhaps christine, child free mothers going into politics have more time and more energy to devote to their constituents to and the job, well, of course they do. but then the other hand, people would say, oh, you know, they don't understand. how can they possibly understand about school policy and education and all this, that and the other. you need everybody and i think, to suddenly cut out a whole swathe of people. and it's more and more now because people are choosing not to have children. i mean, we're reproducing it used

to be 2.5 and a dog. it's now 1.5 and a cat. >> i know we're back to the pussy, listen, neil, i've only got a couple of seconds, can i just ask you should more be done through legislation and the tax system to encourage people to have children? >> yeah, definitely. viktor orban's got the right idea in hungary, where they devote enormous amounts of money to promoting the growth of families. and there's no doubt that, you know, we've got an ageing population. there's a huge time bomb financially waiting for us for the future generations to pay the pensions of the future, working population is falling. the number of people who will be dependent upon those people who are working is increasing. that's something which is not going to go away. so yes, i think we do need to promote families and we do need to, give incentives or at least remove disincentives to having children and bringing up families. i think this is, you know , this is think this is, you know, this is a sort of policy that the

conservative party ought to adopt. but of course, as they're so imprisoned within this woke, mindset, it's very unlikely there would ever be able to address such an issue at all, >> neil and christine , always >> neil and christine, always a thrill to have you on the show. have a great saturday night, and we'll catch up soon. neil and christine hamilton. coming up, a big new development in the race for the tory leadership as ex—home secretary priti patel throws her hat into the ring . throws her hat into the ring. i'll get reaction from former deputy chairman the conservative party

next. well, our parents better politicians. a big reaction @gbnews .com . forward slash. @gbnews .com. forward slash. your say , how about this? oh. my your say, how about this? oh. my goodness, no. i'm sorry. we're having a bit of trouble with the thing loading at the moment. oh, yes. how about this, alan, who's a gb news member, says, i think some people don't want children because they're afraid for this

country. and barbara says, good evening, mark. there are many female mps with children and are hopeless, especially on the left where there is a shortage of grey matter . well, keep your grey matter. well, keep your opinions coming, gbnews.com/yoursay. but a big development as priti patel, the former home secretary throws her hat into the ring for the tory leadership. for reaction, i'm delighted to welcome former conservative mp and former deputy chairman of the party, a prominent backer of priti patel , prominent backer of priti patel, jonathan gullis. jonathan, nice to see you in your civvies. of course, enjoying life on on main street rather than wall street . street rather than wall street. your reaction to priti patel deciding to throw her hat in the ring won't shock you . ring won't shock you. >> mark. i'm absolutely delighted that pretty's putting a hat in the ring because i think ultimately pretty has the experience to bring this party together, to come up with bold policy ideas has the belief of her courage and conviction in her courage and conviction in her views, and therefore can make sure we can win the next

election? let's look at the fact that she came in under william hague just after we had that crushing defeat in 1997. so she knows what it's like to rebuild not just the parliamentary party, but more importantly, our membership. so we can actually get out there and knock on doors and win over voters. she knows as well what it's like to serve in government. having been under david cameron, theresa may and bofis david cameron, theresa may and boris johnson in some of the biggest offices of state, so that, again, those three prime ministers represent a broad church of the conservative party, but has been exempt from the melodrama under liz truss and rishi sunak, as well as the decisions that were made under those governments because she was on the backbenches, not getting involved in the drama, not going out on the airwaves or writing articles damaging the tory brand but staying true to who she was. so, for example, just as she was a spartan when it came to brexit, she voted against the windsor framework because she wanted to protect our precious union and make sure that we delivered the type of brexit that we promised. so that again takes courage to do those type of things. and that's why i'm delighted that she's put her handin i'm delighted that she's put her hand in the ring. she will get our grassroots excited. she will be able to take on reform, but

by having the belief in her convictions and her views, which obviously i think, reform voters will respect her voting record again, as i say, speaks for itself . but she'll also be able itself. but she'll also be able to appeal to that one nation colleagues. she served under david cameron. she served under theresa may. she's worked closely with people like jeremy hunt for a number of years, so she'll understand what those seats. lib dem facing and labour facing are also up against as well. and that's why i think she's the right person to lead our party to victory at the next general election. >> how might her policy platform differ from the others? >> well, look, i like the fact that i've started to see other candidates suddenly get on board the bandwagon at this very late stage. when it comes to party reform. but back in 2018, pretty was talking about having elected party chairman to actually make sure our members have their voice heard much more. and she's reiterated that again. now, of course, there'll be a look at how that works, so to speak, but i think that's a great way to make sure members feel they have someone at the top table in the shadow cabinet, and then hopefully in the cabinet in the not too distant future, having

their voices and their views represented as well as making sure the grassroots have their ideas pushed in front of ministers so that we can actually come up with that exciting and dynamic platform. she's also the one who introduced the points based immigration system. now, i know some may say, but obviously immigration went up in that time. but what priti did by being a spartan was make sure one we deliver brexit, we took back control of our laws and now it's up to ministers to be responsible for actually making sure that they take the tough decisions to drive illegal migration numbers down, and pretty obviously left office in october 2022 as a home secretary, didn't want to serve under liz and didn't want to, and despite being offered, didn't serve under rishi. so therefore, you know, the things that she wanted to do to make sure that system was fair was tough. that drove those numbers down whilst also investing in the skills of our future generations here at home, wasn't able to be demonstrated early on, but she will make that very clear that we want to invest in our talent in this country without having to rely on overseas migration, but not be scared of the fact we do want

some of the brightest and the best from around the world to make their home here in the uk, because that only improves the outcome for our great nation. >> jonathan, briefly, if you can both she and suella braverman are former home secretaries. they've both used strong rhetoric regarding immigration. are they rivals and ideologically, do they cancel each other out? >> well, look, obviously we don't know what suella is doing and we'll know monday is the close of nominations. we'll find out if suella is in the race, but i would say that priti, again, was the first person in the world to come up with a novelidea the world to come up with a novel idea of the rwanda scheme. now, of course, labour trying to paint this as a failure, but actually labour never even tried to get the planes off the ground. and of course their lefty lawyer mates, labour politicians themselves in the house of commons in the last parliament we just had, we're trying to do everything they could to block this legislation. despite mainland european countries wanting to themselves look at striking such a groundbreaking deal because it wasn't just about deporting illegal migrants to rwanda, it was actually about building nafions was actually about building nations like rwanda who obviously desperately wanted

these people to be a part of their economy, but also for them to become growing economies in parts of the continent where we are seeing people choosing to come across into mainland europe and therefore then come on small boats and illegally enter the united kingdom. that was why that was such a groundbreaking decision. so i think that actually, again, that shows you that pretty is willing to think outside the box, think of creative ideas , and it's just a creative ideas, and it's just a shame that labour has cancelled it because now they've got their amnesty of illegal migration. and obviously the only deterrent on the table has now been removed. so god help this country in the coming weeks aheadin country in the coming weeks ahead in the summer, of course , ahead in the summer, of course, labour are clear that they're going to smash the criminal gangs and get through that asylum backlog. >> but let's bring in my top pundits. stay with us if you can. jonathan gullace because with me tonight we have the brilliant diana moran. we have benedict spence and lisa mckenzie. diana moran is pretty patel prime minister material. >> i think she could be. she's 52. she's always proved popular.

she knows what it's all about. she's been in with the government for many, many years , government for many, many years, seen a lot of things go through, a lot of things happen. >> yes, i think she's a reasonable contender. >> lisa mckenzie, what do you think about priti patel? what are your impressions of this politician? is she authentic? is she a conviction politician , she a conviction politician, >> i think she is a conviction politician, actually. but she might be liked in the tory party. but is she going to be liked in the wider country? and the tories have got to really think about that. they've got to sort of think wider than, you know, who do the tories like? they've got to try and get a, a prime minister material rather than a leader of the tory party. migration is going to be a massive issue in the next five years because keir starmer is not going to be able to control it or manage it. and actually, you know, i don't think anyone can. we are where we are with

it. so we need somebody that would prove to be able to do the job. now, i'm not sure that priti patel is trusted in or liked in the country. she might be in the tory party, but i'm not. i'm not sure about the country. >> benedict, you're a good student and observer of the conservative party and have been for many years. why do you think priti patel is running ? because priti patel is running? because she's not a front runner, is she in the race? >> i think she is. i've actually been saying for some time that i think she's a dark horse that people should consider backing for the leadership. i think she's done a lot of work behind the scenes to build a lot of support from other mps, and i think actually the sort of the, the headline thing from this announcement is that she's going to try to give more power to the members. well, this is a fairly clearly naked approach to try and win over the support of people who are inevitably going to end up voting on the leaders. i think that she is a firm figure, she doesn't come with quite the same baggage as the likes of, say, suella braverman. i think a lot of people would look at her on the right

measured than i think she is. i think she is. she's more measured. she comes from the same wing of the party. but as she says herself, in this announcement, she has done a lot less sort of sniping and a lot less sort of sniping and a lot less grandstanding and has been working, i think, behind the scenes, to build more of a coalition, but i do think that there are having said that, i do think there should be a very good match for the role. there are some questions that she's going to have to answer, and thatis going to have to answer, and that is why it is that as home secretary, she was the one that oversaw the biggest increase in illegal migration in this country's history and the biggest increase in small boats crossings and a massive decrease in the amount of people being deported. because if you are going to run on a platform that says we need to address migration, sir keir starmer is going to turn around and say, so, can you explain these figures why it was that these happened on your watch? and that's something she has to do. >> jonathan, the clock is against us. as a former deputy chairman of the party, are you now officially backing and endorsing priti patel for the leadership of the party? >> 100%? i am leadership of the party? >>100%? i am i'm leadership of the party? >> 100%? i am i'm proud to >>100%? i am i'm proud to actually be her agent in this upcoming contest and look forward to answering the very fair questions that people like.

she will. >> can she win ? >> can she win? >> can she win? >> oh, absolutely. she can win. and i think it goes down to the very simple fact that she's very popular member of parliament. there's a side of her that not many people see which is caring and compassionate type. you know, for example, when my daughter had her christening, suddenly pretty popped up with a present. she asked after my, partner all the time who was actually a labour party member from the past, and, was greatly welcomed her into the conservative fold and is someone who has led some of our newly elected colleagues use her office in the first weeks of parliament so they could get settled, get accustomed to the way parliament works, and has offered her support both on the campaign trail and in terms of raising finance for those colleagues to make sure that we got conservative elected under very difficult circumstances in the most recent general election. she puts party first. but most importantly , she will but most importantly, she will put country first. and she's demonstrated that when it comes to respecting the democratic mandate of brexit, wanting to protect our precious union with the winds of framework, rebellion and more importantly, like benedict has pointed out, she's talked about party reform, but unlike others, she's been banging that drum for five plus

years now, well before it was fashionable to do so . which fashionable to do so. which shows that she's in touch with the membership. >> jonathan gull it's always a treat to have you on the show. i hope we catch up soon. my thanks to you. former deputy chairman of the conservative party jonathan gullies, coming up in my take at ten, the olympic opening ceremony in paris was a profound insult to christians around the world, with a drag queen mocking jesus christ and the last supper, the war on western values continues apace. thatis western values continues apace. that is my take at ten. i am so angry you won't want to miss it. but next up, my mark meets guest is bringing comic of tony hancock back to life.

next. the french insult. 2 billion christians at the olympics. that's my take at ten. but first, this . yes. it's time for first, this. yes. it's time for mark meets. and this evening, tony hancock was arguably the most admired comedian of his

generation. written by ray galton and alan simpson, hancock's half hour features the world weary curmudgeon tony hancock, railing against the injustices and absurdities of the world in the company of a stellar cast that included sid james, hattie jakes and kenneth williams. the show contained a mixture of tragedy and comedy, much like hancock himself, a complex man battling his own demons but propped up and sustained by his enduring comic genius. let's see a bit of tony hancock in action. what you came here to give us some of your blood. >> well, you've just had it. how much do you want then? well, a pint, of course. a pint of you raving mad. you must be joking . raving mad. you must be joking. a pint is a perfectly normal quantity to take. you don't seriously expect me to believe that. i don't mind giving a reasonable amount. but a pint that's very nearly an armful. i don't mind that much, but i'm not having it up to here. sorry. i'm not walking around with an empty arm for anybody.

>> i mean , unparalleled genius >> i mean, unparalleled genius in my opinion. well, to celebrate 100 years of tony hancock and 70 years of hancock's half hour, three rare lost episodes have brought back to life in a stunning new show, which will be performed in london's leicester square theatre on the 17th of september, followed by a nationwide tour. i'll give the details at the end, but essentially google hancock the lost episodes and you'll find the details. the man who adapted those lost episodes and who stars as hancock, is the writer and actor john hewer, who joins and actorjohn hewer, who joins me now. john, congratulations on this production. why was tony hancock so popular? >> thank you very much indeed. mark hancock was so popular because , the writing and the because, the writing and the performance gelled. so well as they do in many of our classic sitcoms that we remember to this day. and the writing was so timeless. there are traits in hancock's character that we recognise in ourselves, and i think that speaks volumes, because here we are, 70 years on

from the very first episode of hancock's half hour and, you know, we still remember him and revere him. like you say, there's a there's a clear history of the classic british comedy sitcom character that stemmed right back from hancock, going through the steptoe and son era, dad's army, fawlty towers , porridge, hyacinth towers, porridge, hyacinth bouquet, david brent from the office. you know, they all stem from hancock's half hour, and the writing is still very, very sharp indeed . thanks to, like i sharp indeed. thanks to, like i say, like you said, the wonderful work of god. alan simpson. >> absolutely. he's a great, great comedian. of course, tony hancock and a really brilliant actor. for me, he's up there with peter sellers. what do we know of his personal story and his origins ? his origins? >> so he was born in birmingham. >> so he was born in birmingham. >> in 1924, the family moved to bournemouth and, his dad, his family, rather, they used to own a pub down there , where various a pub down there, where various variety acts would come and stay when they were touring. and, tony hancock just used to sit at

the end of the bar and watch and watch them performing, you know, after hours, so to speak. and it all kind of just went into his act. and then, yeah, throughout the post—war years, he performed famously at the windmill theatre, known as the theatre that never closed during the second world war. and from there he went into radio work. galton simpson found him on a radio series called, happy go lucky. i believe in the early 50s. and they then created hancock's half hourin they then created hancock's half hour in 1953 as a radio series, firstly, and then it transferred very successfully to the tv in 1956, and it ran for seven series. yeah. >> and now your show, which i'm so excited about. it features three lost episodes. how on earth did they lose three episodes of this classic comedy ? episodes of this classic comedy? >> oh goodness me, goodness me, i know we're all in uproar right now, won't we? it was just the thing of the time. celluloid. the film it was recorded on was so expensive that things were either recorded over or they were just they were just binged. there was no huge archive to store it all the frustration is

that the bbc held on to you know, weather reports and that kind of stuff. they thought there would be more culturally significant 70 years on rather than you know, i think there's 25 episodes of hancock's half hour still missing out there, and things like doctor who and till death us do part. you know, that's still missing as well. but thankfully, thankfully, ray galton, in his infinite wisdom, stored every single draft of every script he and alan ever wrote together . and, in his wrote together. and, in his cellar there would be stacks upon stacks of filing cabinets, just these scripts stored away. and they read so, so well, that's how i got involved, is i actually read them. >> that is so good. i've only got a couple of seconds left. i don't want to put you on the spot, but are there a couple of lines from the new show that you love delivering? >> oh goodness me. do you know what we haven't started rehearsals yet, but i had the pleasure of reading those scripts on the london underground and to read london underground, and to be laughing out loud is kind of forbidden, isn't it, to make a noise in the underground? well, it is, it is chortling away at these scripts.

they are fantastic. but you've got you're working on the voice, right? >> and that's almost an armful. and all the rest of it. you're seeking to embody that speed. >> david maddox hahahahahai yes, there we go , i got over haha, there we go, i got over haha, thatis there we go, i got over haha, that is genius. >> listen, i can't wait to see the show. let me tell you that hancock's half hour the lost tv episodes will be performed at london's leicester square theatre on september the 17th. before it heads on tour. head to hambledon productions .com or search hancock. the lost episodes next up the woke olympics. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello, good evening and welcome to your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. well, it's been quite an unsettled start to the weekend, but as high pressure builds we're going to see plenty of dry weather on sunday. and that's because this weather front that's been affecting us today will generally fizzle out. and then we've got high pressure building into the atlantic and moving its way across the uk for

sunday. back to you tonight though. and any showers would generally be easing away, leaving a largely dry evening and staying largely dry overnight to plenty of clear spells, which means we're likely to see some mist and fog overnight, particularly in those rural spots. and that's where it's going to be feeling a little bit cooler, too. but most towns and cities remaining in the low double digits. so to start on sunday morning, then there should be plenty of bright sunshine around. but as i say, there will be spots of mist and fog around, particularly in rural spots across devon and cornwall and rural parts of wales. but plenty of bright sunshine elsewhere. and it's going to be a fairly mild night too, which means it's going to be quite a warm start to sunday as well. a bit more cloudy across northwestern parts of scotland and in the north of scotland and in the north of scotland too, and just a chance of a few showers feeding in here as well. but otherwise for sunday, as high pressure builds, there'll be plenty of dry, fine weather around, feeling very warm in some spots, but do take care as uv levels are expected

to be quite high into the afternoon though we are going to see cloud build into the far northwest of scotland and later on into western parts of northern ireland. so more in the way of hazy sunshine there. but elsewhere, where you do catch those prolonged sunny periods, that's where it's going to be feeling warm. to start the new working week. there'll still be plenty of dry and fine weather around a build of high cloud, though, which means there'll be more in the way of hazy sunshine. a different story in the northwest, though, as we continue to see that cloud build and thick enough to produce some spots of rain at times, and still plenty of dry weather into next week. but we could see a thundery breakdown from wednesday onwards. bye for now. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather

tonight's top pundits this evening, benedict spence , diana evening, benedict spence, diana moran and doctor lisa mckenzie. a packed hour, those papers are coming. plus, my top westminster insider. but we start with my take at ten. yesterday's olympic opening ceremony in paris wasn't just a washout due to the weather notwithstanding the disastrous decision to have the events along the river in paris rather than at the main stadium, which would have protected them against the elements. it was the dire content of this four hour woke fest, which has offended so many after far left activists allegedly damaged the train lines in france, leading to wild disruption. proof if you needed it, that poor old france is becoming increasingly ungovernable. this chaotic and disastrous ceremony once again

demonstrated that the french couldn't organise a piss up in a vineyard and served as a reminder by contrast, of the magnificent opening ceremony delivered by london in 2012. but olympic opening ceremonies can be a confusing and random affair. sometimes they're surreal, almost like watching the eurovision song contest on acid. now i've got no problem with that. artistic expression comes in all forms. why not have a splash of eccentricity and creative freedom when kicking off this global event? but artistic expression is no excuse for a deeply offensive attack on christianity, whose idea was it to perform a drag queen parody of this image ? leonardo of this image? leonardo dicaprio. leonardo leonardo da vinci's last supper an iconic painting which represents the historic moment that jesus christ dined with his closest

friends, the disciples, prior to his crucifixion. at this supper, according to the gospels , jesus according to the gospels, jesus told the disciples, this bread is my body, this wine is my blood. jesus's words refer to the crucifixion that he was about to suffer in order to atone for humankind's sins. but the sin here is the wild mockery of an ancient religion, with a parade of sexually explicit drag acts with bodies on full show, in imagery that strikes at the heart of christian theology . heart of christian theology. throughout the evening, there were erotic poses , fake boobs, were erotic poses, fake boobs, waggling arses, sexualised dancing and cavorting on stage in scenes that couldn't be less christian. if you tried , take christian. if you tried, take a listen to the wise words of bishop robert barron of winona—rochester in the united states, who speaks for millions. >> what do i see? but this gross

mockery of the last supper , and mockery of the last supper, and i won't describe it any further. just go online. it's gone viral. you can see it. but this france felt evidently, as it's trying to put its best cultural foot forward. the right thing to do is to mock this very central moment in christianity, where jesus and his last supper gives his body and blood in anticipation of the cross . anticipation of the cross. >> devastating stuff. now imagine if a scene like this had happened last night, mocking islam. perhaps a moment from the quran or a scene featuring the prophet muhammad in a city where 12 journalists were murdered by islamic extremists for doing just that in paris in 2015. these pathetic social progressives who designed last night's show won't do that because they are shocking cowards. utter melts. but christianity seems to be an acceptable target, not only are

its values being eroded across the western world, but it is now the western world, but it is now the subject of ridicule and derision as its iconography is vandalised and replaced by the hellish new religion of woke and gender bending madness. the organisers of last night's olympics ceremony insulted the 2.4 billion christians around the world. what's chilling and revealing is that they thought that was okay. may god forgive them . your reaction please . them. your reaction please. gbnews.com/yoursay can i just add that it was the worst olympic opening ceremony in history? not just my words, but that of my floor manager, chloe, who's always right. let's hear from tonight's top pundits, journalist and political commentator benedict spence, model and broadcaster, the green

goddess herself , diana moran, goddess herself, diana moran, and anarchist and academic doctor lisa mckenzie . lisa, they doctor lisa mckenzie. lisa, they wouldn't do that with any other religion, would they? >> no, i mean, that's that's actually quite true. they wouldn't because the backlash wouldn't because the backlash would just too be intense. i mean, i'm an atheist, so i was not offended by the religious element of this. you know, i was a big fan of madonna in the 80s. she did it much better, actually, what i was offended by was it's absolute rubbish and lack and lack of sort of coherence and uninteresting, you know, one of the drag queens came on, i actually thought is it rupaul? you know, it was just drag. it was just drag race. and i love drag race , and i actually i love drag race, and i actually drag race is a lot better than that. so i don't know, you know, i really don't know what they were doing because they did everything really badly, i was

in a pub last night in islington, and i was with a load of, you know, old cockneys, and they were having the best night of their life, laughing how the french had stuffed it up. they had a great time, and just laughing through the whole thing, going, oh my god, what does that mean? what's that about? so i think if i'm offended by anything, it's just that it was so poor. >> indeed. diana moran was that performance an attack not only on christianity but on western values? >> i think it definitely was. i personally am deeply offended by seeing that it's disgusting. and when you consider that there are 2.4 billion christians around the world, many of whom would have been in france and in all those other many of those other countries represented , i think countries represented, i think it was utterly disgusting

indeed, >> benedict can you give us a sense of what the reaction might have been if last night's main moment was a mockery of prophet muhammad or or the quran? >> well, i don't think we can imagine it, because that's the point. they wouldn't dare to do something like that, but yeah, you know, that's the other thing. they wouldn't dare to do it for krishna or hinduism or sikhism or anything like that, because there is a very selfish attitude when it comes to this, that because france is a christian country, that they are allowed to mock christianity because it's theirs. and actually to hell, if anybody else has another opinion, ultimately, i mean, there's a great deal of irony to all of this because, you know, we were talking the build up to these olympics. lots of people were worrying about, oh, sabotage. what if there's russian sabotage? what if hamas tries to sabotage? what if hamas tries to sabotage it? and it turns out all that was required was a french planning committee to sabotage the entire thing. they've made a complete pig's ear of the entire show. but this wasn't for , i think, a domestic

wasn't for, i think, a domestic french audience. this was for a sort of a global elite. this was ultimately actually aimed almost at an american progressive audience. drag queens, you know, american pop stars, that sort of thing. actually. what was french about it? there was very little that was french. there wasn't really a celebration of french culture, not a french culture that i would recognise. all there was was an attempt to be rather snooty, rather haughty, about a religion that, as you says, as you say, has 2.5 billion adherents, many of whom are french, all living in former french colonies, many of whom are athletes at these games. who on earth thought this up? you know, quite apart from the bad choreography and the appalling way that it was sort of staged outside, that is what sort of really fell flat is that it was simply not really very french, didn't really seem to appeal to anybody, except a few people may be watching in new york and los angeles. >> why are christians such a soft touch ? and was this a wider soft touch? and was this a wider attack on western values? i think it's an example of the west hating itself, which will ultimately be our downfall. let me know your thoughts

gbnews.com/yoursay. but next up, is kamala harris going to crush donald trump's dream of a return to the white house and an update on the health of king charles and princess kate, all in the company of the queen of us royal and political reporting. kinsey schofield. that's

papers on the way. at 1030 sharp. but first, this . yes. sharp. but first, this. yes. it's time for the us newsmaker. and the queen of american showbiz. royal and political reporting . kinsey schofield, reporting. kinsey schofield, kinsey, let's talk about kamala harris, vice president and now somebody that's hoping to crush donald trump's dream of a return to the white house. could she succeed? >> i mean, i think predicting

american elections right now could be challenging. the polls are all over the place, and while polls can indicate trends, they are not always accurate, as seen in recent elections, where key states were misjudged, but i do think that donald trump might not necessarily have been prepared for the way the mainstream media immediately rallied behind kamala and changed, you know, her changed history, changed. her story changed. some of, you know, all of a sudden she has all of these glowing, accomplishments behind her that i'm not necessarily convinced are true. >> well, that's right. now on this show, we've seen plenty of videos of her making a fool of herself , and especially with the herself, and especially with the wokery announcing her pronouns and all the rest of it, plus her self—help mantras, which make you want to slash your wrists. but let's have a look at some of the more recent videos which are helping her to win an army of overnight fans .

overnight fans. >> i don't know what's wrong with you young people . you think with you young people. you think you just fell out of a coconut tree? >> but in our country, we need you to be mamala of the country. >> and i eat no, for breakfast. >> and i eat no, for breakfast. >> 316 when you're in the mood. >> 316 when you're in the mood. >> what you say. you think you just fell out of a coconut tree? >> my career aspirations are commiserations to miss ghana and maria, who had to spend the afternoon editing that rubbish. but the thing is, kinsey, she does have momentum. legacy media, as you said, and the democratic party establishment are trying to pretend that she wasn't a terrible and unpopular vice president. will it work? will pr spin and tiktok videos sweep kamala harris to the top of us politics? >> look, it's a long road to

november. we know who donald trump is. i listened to two of your guests, you know, talk about some of his history. we know we know who donald trump is. we also know how much we saved on groceries, gas when he was president. we don't know who kamala is. people will continue to speak out about her and help paint that picture . her support paint that picture. her support was so low during her initial run for president that she disappeared before biden promised to choose a black woman to be his vp. now breitbart reporting that the office of vp harris experienced a turnover rate higher than 90% over the past three years. they claim this is a trend that has followed her since even before the biden administration consumed power. you know, if even half of those employees publicly rally for the opposition, that could jeopardise the campaign, we're just going to have to wait and see. >> okay, well, let's get to more positive news. and that is an outpouring of support. love and affection for both king charles

and princess catherine, the princess of wales, who are both battling cancer. an amazing pubuc battling cancer. an amazing public response to what has been a tragic royal story. >> that's right, catherine, the princess of wales . king charles princess of wales. king charles receiving 27,000. get well cards. we discovered the official tally within the royals annual financial report. the daily beast reported that the king and princess were not in a position to sign each and every card, but were deeply touched by the amount of support they received from all over the world. this report also noted greater diversity among the royal household, with ethnic minority staff now making up 11.4% of the workforce . that's 11.4% of the workforce. that's up on on last year's 9.7%. and we know that they are working towards a 14% goal. >> fair enough . what about >> fair enough. what about harry? his latest tv documentary that's on itv. it's about the press and about, pursuing the likes of rupert murdoch for the

phone hacking, what is your reaction to what harry has had to say in this latest tv offering? >> i believe prince harry is a catastrophic thinker, it's difficult to take someone seriously when they have a reputation for exaggerating their circumstances. verbiage like catastrophic car chase, which we heard in new york city, bringing up acid and knife attacks . he's constantly fixated attacks. he's constantly fixated on the worst case scenario, and i would politely remind prince harry that it was american media that snapped a private photograph of catherine, the princess of wales, when she asked for privacy after her abdominal surgery. it was tmz.com that took a picture of catherine, the princess of wales, and her mother alone in a car. i would also remind prince harry that it was thomas matthew cook's an american. the assassin who attempted to take out former president donald trump, who was googung president donald trump, who was googling catherine, the princess of wales. i'd argue that the uk

is a safer place for a family thatis is a safer place for a family that is fixated on utilising their royal titles than the united states , where we have united states, where we have much different gun laws. >> meanwhile , meghan markle jets >> meanwhile, meghan markle jets into new york for a hamptons business summit. >> what's the plan? do we know? >> what's the plan? do we know? >> yeah. so meghan markle attended a summit in the hamptons friday titled the g9 ventures summer summit, hosted by a power broker named amy griffin. meghan flew from santa barbara by private jet with entrepreneur jamie kern lima. entrepreneurjamie kern lima. this is a contact, a contact, a friend of oprah winfrey's. according to page six, meghan will be picking up tips for her stagnant lifestyle business, american riviera orchard. meghan has been doing a lot of celebrity networking lately. she was also recently seen out with father of the bride star kimberly williams—paisley. but mark, she's got a tough road ahead of her. she has to convince these people that she wants and needs acceptance. from, you know, a problem problematic . she's a divisive problematic. she's a divisive character that these people read

aboutin character that these people read about in newspapers, so she's got to convince them otherwise, >> last but not least, kinsey. prince william cuts queen camilla's sister from the royal payroll after two decades. is there trouble brewing in the palace? >> there's not. but i thought this was such an interesting headline. he's eliminated queen camilla's sister, annabel elliot, from. this has been 20 years that she's worked for king charles. he hired his sister in law as chief interior designer of his estates following his marriage to queen camilla and over the years, she's estimated to have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars. but this is my favourite line, sources confirmed to the telegraph that william, you know, after that, the termination, he said it was no reflection on her work. so she has apparently a stellar interior designer and she's got a great resume. >> and you, kinsey, are a stellar political and royal commentator. >> we'll catch you in a week's time. do check out kinsey's excellent website, to die for daily.com and her podcast of the

same name. next up, tomorrow's with full pundit reaction. some great headlines. see you

it is 1030. we're bang on time for the papers. and we start with the sunday telegraph. and they lead with the following. it's quite an interesting story. this pm talks to spain over youth free movements. keir starmer discussed the free movement deal for young people with the spanish prime minister earlier this month. pedro sanchez made the case for a uk spain agreement allowing spanish young people to live in the uk in private talks with the pm at blenheim palace on july, the 18th. sir keir is understood not to have rejected the proposal and said he would consider it, along with other discussion points. divers make history to kick off team gb's medal hunt. congratulations to yasmin harper and scarlett mew jensen. dame

>> i think it is actually i mean i'm i would be all for it , i've i'm i would be all for it, i've just been out in spain myself. i just been out in spain myself. i just got back yesterday. i'm admiring the house. i went to madrid and, very good. i think we should have a very good relationship with the spanish, but also, i also work at universities, and we get a lot of interesting and decent students from europe . so it's students from europe. so it's not that i'm against this, but i do think that if he makes this deal with spain, well, why not italy and why not france and why not? >> and why not with older people rather than just the young? >> well, he's not he's not going to do that with older people. >> but maybe eventually. >> but maybe eventually. >> no, i think this will be about you. this is about labour being youthful and forward thinking. it's a it's also pr as well as, as well as, starmer wanting to reverse brexit, which i think he does. but it's also about youthfulness and forward thinking. but if he does this with spain, he and one of the

things i've got to say as well are universities are on their knees. they're about some of them are about to collapse , and them are about to collapse, and so perhaps he's got an eye on that as well about getting more europe. yeah. getting more european students here. i'm not against it. but i do realise that you can't do this just for spain. >> indeed . diana, is this the >> indeed. diana, is this the reversal of brexit by a thousand cuts? >> it does sound like it, doesn't it ? yes. crafty way of doesn't it? yes. crafty way of reversing it. >> the whole point is you either have free movement or you don't. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> indeed. i mean, do you think that labour over the next five years will continue with this approach and change our relationship with europe? could well be should should they not? >> in my book, why not, why, why would you keep things as they are? because i prefer that we made that break. think of the currency. think of the movement . currency. think of the movement. yeah. no, i would prefer to keep it as it is. yeah. >> benedict, what do you make of

this move? is it politically significant? >> i think it is. i think we need to remember we're talking about 18 to 30 year olds here. yeah there's a very important thing to remember. constituency isn't it. yes. very important thing to remember about 18 to 30 year olds is you have to pay them very much money compared to older people. and a lot of them, half the cash of de—man a lot of them. this is a very serious point. there must be said, a lot of people, the phenomenon that you've already seen in spain is lots of young people leaving spain, because there aren't the jobs there for them anymore. and so this is going to appear to a lot of people there as another attempt to open up another avenue for people to leave spain , avenue for people to leave spain, which is going to bring more economic harm to that country as it loses even more of its workforce. for them to come here, for us to pay them less money proportionally than we would have to pay people already here. there is another aspect to this as well, which i suspect they probably haven't thought about though. and that is something. and it's not just unique to spain, actually to talk about italy or portugal as well. and that is that italy, spain and portugal are making a play spain and portugal are making a play for young british people to come and live and work there,

because there currently aren't very many jobs. actually, this whole idea that brits are going to go out into the world and live and work in these places, it's a fantasy. they're not going to do that because there are no jobs there except in one industry, which you can do anywhere. and that is the tech industry. and that is where you get the idea of the digital nomad visa, which lots of these countries have been coming up with, say, come live and crucially, pay very little tax in our country. and you can have all the benefits of living here and it'll be very easy and hassle free because we want high net worth young individuals, people who can code, people who are going to set up businesses. the uk is not doing enough to counter losing those people. and i think it's really interesting that later on we'll probably get to a story about how we might be increasing capital gains tax in this country because a lot of high net worth younger people who work in these industries are going to take one look at that and they're going to take one look at this sort of scheme, and they're going to go, fantastic, i'm not going to live in the uk anymore. i'm going to go and live in a country that's hot. thatis live in a country that's hot. that is welcoming to me, potentially, that we've just signed a free movement agreement with, and that's going to charge me a lot less tax. >> interesting. >> interesting. >> and let's also remember that the reason they won't do this

with older, older people is because young people are cheap. they don't cost the nhs as much money. it's as you get older you start costing and young people, they'll want to get rid of them before they have families because again, they get more expensive. when you have families. so young people, these sort of nomad young people are cheap and that's why we'll want them. >> most definitely. what about this lisa in the sunday mirror? labour will start building council house revolution . labour council house revolution. labour is launching the biggest building programme of council and affordable housing in decades , 1.5 and affordable housing in decades ,1.5 million new homes decades, 1.5 million new homes over the next five years. do you welcome this news? >> yes , but i also know it's a >> yes, but i also know it's a nonsense and it's not true. and i'm going to be completely honest about that because of local objections. no because at 1.5 million over five years is not going to touch the sides. and they and when they say council housing and affordable, it's not council housing. affordable housing can be up to 80% of market rate or it's shared ownership, which is a scam, so this is a nonsense.

until angela rayner actually says numbers of council housing and ending right to buy and also changing the policy of what council housing means at the moment it's a&e , it's accident moment it's a&e, it's accident and emergency for housing, which means you have to be extremely vulnerable people to live there , vulnerable people to live there, which makes them into places that most people don't want to live. they've got to change what housing means. at the bottom, it's a&e at the bottom and in the middle and at the top it's pensions, excess salary, pension. savings, something for the kids . they've got to change the kids. they've got to change what's housing means they're not doing this . doing this. >> lisa is the elephant in the room. immigration. given the fact that the rates are barely keeping up with current demand . keeping up with current demand. >> well, when you've got council housing, that is only for the most vulnerable. when the most vulnerable, who comes in are, migrants . refugees. yeah. and so

migrants. refugees. yeah. and so that's it goes into that, it feeds into that. and then obviously that feeds into far right politics. you know, our housing system has caused actually a lot if you look at ireland. yeah. >> you know, they've got a dearth of housing and an influx of migrants. you agreed vociferously with that last point. >> i certainly did, because we've got all the immigrants coming in. we've got them in hotels. we've got them all over the place. just at the minute, surely any less any . got to be surely any less any. got to be careful what we say here. >> any migrants , any houses. >> any migrants, any houses. >> any migrants, any houses. >> oh, i see small houses that are being built that maybe we don't particularly want at the moment in our lives, but it would certainly be a first stop. >> oh, you're thinking like a modest house. i am. >> that's the. >> that's the. >> i would love a modest house. >> i would love a modest house. >> yeah, yeah, i remember the whole point is that brits should be top of the list . oh, very be top of the list. oh, very much so. that's really where i was coming from at that moment.

that many, many modest houses that are built could then be the first step for the migrants who hopefully work hard and then can come on up the ladder afterwards. but you've got to start somewhere. benedict. >> yeah, it's not a sustainable system. when you're importing the numbers of people that we are into this country. even if you are building however many 100,000 a year, you're not going to be able to house them all. so from a starting point, either , from a starting point, either, you need to then increase the number of houses, which at a certain point becomes physically impossible to do. and i think that that's, you know, forget the planning situation, which is impossible to navigate even if you were able to rubber stamp it and go, yes, we're going to ride over the planning situation, we're going to build them all. it is physically impossible to build that many houses. we don't have the labour force, we don't have the labour force, we don't have the labour force, we don't have the raw materials, we don't necessarily, in fact, have the infrastructure or connecting to the land. but the other thing, well, there's another thing. and this is a lot of this is to do with house prices. a lot of this is to do with the housing crisis that we have. lots of people can't afford to get on the ladder building hundreds of thousands of houses. even if you

know that this whole thing about, you know, affordability, you know, affordable housing, it's not true. because actually a house is not just a home in this country. it is an asset. and you're not going to get into a situation where you are able to artificially suppress or reduce the market, where people are going to adhere to that, they're going to go for it, because for a lot of people in this country, their house is their retirement, it is their investment. and the only way you're going to be able to reduce house prices, like that is if you have a market crash thatis is if you have a market crash that is a bad thing. you don't want that to happen because it affects many other things. it affects many other things. it affects pension pots, it affects investors generally. that's something you want to avoid. the only way we're going to get into a situation, as well as building the houses, is if you have wages increasing, if you have more wealth in this country and i'm afraid for as long as you have hundreds of thousands of people coming into this country every yean coming into this country every year, you will suppress those wages. you will never be able then to get people wealthy enough to buy their own homes. even if you build hundreds of thousands a year, why can't we have modest houses? >> like, because i'm old enough to remember these things

immediately after the war, a prefab. yeah. and that housed hundreds and thousands of people for many, many years. fairly well. >> but remember, that's a practical solution. but remember rachel reeves said that she the government are not going to put any money into this. what they're going to do is leave it to the to the to developers, to the market, which means that the market will build what is profitable and not what is. so sure. >> fair enough. well, look, coming up folks , remember the coming up folks, remember the commotion at manchester airport . commotion at manchester airport. well, a shocking new development and violent scenes before that viral video. that's

next. okay, folks, let's have a look at tomorrow's mail on sunday newspaper. and it's a shocker as forces. excuse me? as force

faces brutality claims, dramatic new footage shows women officers punched to the ground before incident. that sparked outcry. cctv reveals vile attack on airport row. police now . there airport row. police now. there you go. this is the footage that has emerged. it's believed to capture the lead up to the moment now suspended police officer kicked and stamped on a man at manchester airport. this video obtained by manchester evening news, has been released as police attempt to pinpoint events leading up to the separate , widely shared video. separate, widely shared video. and it appears to be police officers are cruelly and appallingly attacked by these individuals who were then later restrained by cops . so this one restrained by cops. so this one is going to change the hue of the story and how it's being debated . debated. >> benedict spence it is. and this was why it was very important from the start that people did not jump to conclusions via one limited piece of footage that very

clearly was coming at the end of an incident, not at the start . an incident, not at the start. and it was entirely sort of devoid of context. now obviously, we don't want to get too much into the details because it's an ongoing investigation. but what i would say is at the end of all of this, the individuals in question are escaped, if you like, with rather minor injuries, be it the members of the public or the police officers. relatively minor injury injuries. this happened injury injuries. this happened in an airport. airports are incredibly high security areas. people are arrested for very little. and in other parts of the world, i have to be honest , the world, i have to be honest, they are treated much less with much less tolerance than these officers reacted with. for far less than actually what happened here. i've been in airports where i have seen people being assaulted en masse, where i've seen guns being pointed at people for how they behave in an airport. they are high stress environments, and we all understand why that is. and so i think actually , whatever the think actually, whatever the outcome is of this investigation, i think we have to say we are very fortunate to live in a country where the standard response, even of armed

police officers, is not to shoot individuals. that is what usually happens in these sorts of situations, not just in the third world. in america , in third world. in america, in france, in places like that. that would be the standard response. and i think we have to be very grateful that that is not how our police officers tend to behave in this country. >> indeed. i mean, now we have the context. we've got an earlier video before the police took one individual, and obviously dealt with them quite brutally . this officer involved brutally. this officer involved has now been suspended. is he the victim of trial by social media? >> diana, i've got a feeling he is, because there's more coming out. do you know, at the time i thought to myself there was a report that a woman officer had a broken nose, and i thought there must have been something going on previously. yeah to have sparked all of this off. so we've got to be careful, haven't we? yeah. you can't just judge something by that one little bit of footage that gets put up on social media, and these cops are damned if they do. >> and damned if they don't.

aren't they just? >> yes, we want them to be effective. we don't want them just standing around sort of smiling and or. but as you say, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't. yeah. >> i mean who would be a cop in 2024 lisa. >> well not me i mean i would never be a cop but i just say i think you would look terrific in uniform. no, i would never be. >> i mean, can i just say you can arrest me anytime? >> well, well, i've i've had i've probably on ask me the handcuffs. i'm making . let's. handcuffs. i'm making. let's. i'm ignoring that, i'm past it. i'm ignoring that, i'm past it. i'm moving on. but i think probably on this panel, i'm the. i've probably had the most contact with police because i've been arrested. you're a bad person. well, i've been arrested a lot of times. have you really? yeah, because i've done a lot of protesting in my life. so i've done. and i can just tell you now, i thought it was white wine at waitrose. no, it was definitely protesting. i once got arrested for not putting a sticker on a window. that's crazy. i know. now this is why i'm bringing this up. because you are an activist and you are a principled person. i know that

the police, i know how they behave at their worst. i do know how they behave at their best. my dad was at orgreave, so i know about the police . what know about the police. what surprises me is that these people at the airport, if you go punching police in the face, what do you think is going to happen?i what do you think is going to happen? i come from, you know, i know about contact with police. they do. they will be they do behave like this, you know, it's just now that we've got cameras and videos that the officer, based upon the video footage you've seen , should have been you've seen, should have been suspended . suspended. >> yes. >> yes. >> just because there's video footage. >> and should he lose his job, >> and should he lose his job, >> wait and see. i don't know, i'll be honest, i don't. i don't know, because as benedict has said, airport airports are a different level. yeah. could you imagine going through new york airport ? forget it. and could airport? forget it. and could you imagine. what about beijing? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you know, we've all been to places we've all i mean, in

france been on the been on the metro in france. they've got guns. yeah. >> you know, and the italian police are very militaristic aren't they. >> yes. so even the spanish actually. >> well, most, most police forces are. we're actually kind of unique that it's not part of our culture, even . well, even our culture, even. well, even with firearms officers, they actually shoot people very rarely in this country. and they are almost entirely because it's are almost entirely because it's a terrorist incident or an individual who has a gun, actually. and, you know, again, i go back and say, if you look at the number of people who have been shot by police in this country over the last decade, it is thankfully very rare. and they are relatively, i think, very, very restrained when it comes to actually using lethal force. and we need to be thankful for that. >> most definitely. listen strictly bombshell diana, you've starred on many bbc shows over many years . exclusive the secret many years. exclusive the secret 28 minute tape that could clear giovanni pernice this soap opera is very damaging to strictly, could it ultimately cause the bbc to axe the show ? bbc to axe the show? >> there's two sides to this

a largely dry evening and staying largely dry overnight to plenty of clear spells, which means we're likely to see some mist and fog overnight, particularly in those rural spots. and that's where it's going to be feeling a little bit cooler, too. but most towns and cities remaining in the low double digits. so to start on sunday morning, then there should be plenty of bright sunshine around. but as i say, there will be spots of mist and fog around, particularly in rural spots across devon and cornwall and rural parts of wales. but plenty of bright sunshine elsewhere, and it's going to be a fairly mild night too, which means it's going to be quite a warm start to sunday as well. a bit more cloudy across northwestern parts of scotland and in the north of scotland and in the north of scotland too, and just a chance of a few showers feeding in here as well. but otherwise for sunday as high pressure builds, there will be plenty of dry fine weather around. feeling very warm in some spots, but do take care as uvb levels are expected to be quite high into the afternoon. though we are going to see cloud build into the far

northwest of scotland and later on into western parts of northern ireland, so more in the way of hazy sunshine there. but elsewhere, where you do catch those prolonged, sunnier periods , those prolonged, sunnier periods, that's where it's going to be feeling warm to start the new working week, there'll still be plenty of dry and fine weather around a build of high cloud, though, which means there'll be more in the way of hazy sunshine. a different story in the northwest , though, as we the northwest, though, as we continue to see that cloud build and thick enough to produce some spots of rain at times, and still plenty of dry weather into next week. but we could see a thundery breakdown from wednesday onwards. bye for now. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news
