>> in relation to the police. >> in relation to the police. >> in relation to the police. >> i am absolutely clear that we will have the officers we need, where we need them to deal with this disorder and that is why the standing army has been set up. specialist officers ready to be deployed to support communities on the question of prisons. firstly, we're monitoring it on a daily basis . monitoring it on a daily basis. i'm appalled that we've been put in this position by the previous government. that is even a discussion. it's even a question that you have to ask me. but we will make this work and ensure that we've got the places that are needed to bring the perpetrators swiftly to justice. >> in birmingham, tensions are high tonight where it appears some crowds of muslim men are gathering in response to the ongoing unrest . in footage ongoing unrest. in footage circulating on social media, hundreds of men can be seen taking to the streets . it's taking to the streets. it's understood the muslim community of bordesley green in birmingham have gathered to protect their local mosque. meanwhile, police commissioner sir mark rowley has

apologised after he knocked a news journalist microphone out of his hand this morning. in a statement, he said this is a distraction from the critical events we're dealing with. he said it was agreed the prime minister would provide an update afterwards and it was not my place to speak publicly in an effort to move the microphone out of my path. i'm sorry that i knocked it to the floor. it was never my intention . and never my intention. and billionaire elon musk has responded to sir keir starmer asking him why he won't condemn attacks on all communities. it's after the prime minister dismissed comments from the world's richest man, claiming that civil war is inevitable in the uk. mr musk, the owner of x, made the comments on the social media platform below. a video of rioters . in response, the prime rioters. in response, the prime minister's spokesperson said there was no justification for his comments, saying online platforms have a responsibility . platforms have a responsibility. those are the latest gb news headunes those are the latest gb news headlines for now, i'm sophia

wenzler more in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . slash alerts. >> i worry that our prime minister will forever be known as two tier keir. we've seen disgraceful scenes like this. a man with a swastika on his back prowling the streets and of course, we've seen the disgusting torching of a migrant hotel. now those things are clearly unacceptable . okay. clearly unacceptable. okay. clearly unacceptable. but we've also seen stuff like this. a group . well, i mean, that group. well, i mean, that is a group. well, i mean, that is a group of what appears to be british asian men, some potentially carrying weapons, rampaging through the streets.

and yet all we hear is this. >> i won't shy away from calling it what it is. far right thuggery to those who feel targeted because of the colour of your skin or your faith. i know how frightening this must be. i want you to know that this violent mob do not represent our country, and we will bring them to justice. >> but we all remember these shocking scenes from her hills just weeks ago , don't we? there just weeks ago, don't we? there was a bus set on fire. massive criminal damage. police officers being attacked. and we also saw this . this. >> we saw you. we know you're in there. >> come out. >> come out. >> explain yourself. why has only one officer been suspended? >> what about the rest of her? >> what about the rest of her? >> rochdale police station being attacked ? threats made to a attacked? threats made to a police officer after the

manchester airport incident. now our home secretary, yvette cooper , released this statement cooper, released this statement after the first video emerged of after the first video emerged of a police officer kicking a man in the head. she said that she welcomed the investigation into that officer and then this video emerged showing the police being violently attacked. okay, i'm just going to sit on this for a second here. so, you know, we all know this clip, but i think it's worthwhile as reminding ourselves, isn't it? punches thrown, a female police officer, you know, allegedly having a nose broken, all of that. okay now, i don't remember our home secretary or indeed our prime minister saying much of note after that emerged. do you and now even the owner of x, elon musk, is calling out our prime minister, asking him why he won't condemn attacks on all communities. if we leave that tweet on the screen there, we can see, he says. we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or on muslim communities. and obviously that is right. okay. but where's the other stuff as well? and that i think is the point that elon is making now several things kind of all be

wrong at the same time, can't they? nazi salutes at pro—palestine marches, gangs of what appear to be predominantly british asian men mobbing up outside a police station, riots by what appear to be predominantly ethnic minority groups in leeds , the muslim groups in leeds, the muslim defence league or whatever they call themselves , all right, call themselves, all right, committing violent acts and far right people being racist, committing criminal damage and arson . all of those things are arson. all of those things are wrong. my concern is that we might have a prime minister who only wants to call out the far right that i think is two tier, and i think that is going to make things a heck of a lot worse . let's get the thoughts of worse. let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. we've got express columnist carole malone, journalist benjamin butterworth and former tory cabinet minister michelle donelan. look, just before i go to my panel, we are aware of what appears to be, you know, some ongoing incidents

taking place in the birmingham area. okay. so we saw a group of, again, what appeared to be predominantly british asian men on a roundabout. and this is indeed it. and there's footage here now of , you know, people here now of, you know, people blocking the roundabout, you know, there's been previous footage in the day as well, of some people approaching a sky news reporter and making gun symbols. you've got people razzing it around the roundabout, not a police officer in sight. there is that i don't know, can i? i don't want to do a david lammy here and say i can't see one. there's one right behind me. but look, that had been going for on ages, that had been going for on ages, that had been going for on ages, that had been going on for ages. all right. and there's a lot of this and there's some other very concerning stuff as well that we'll show you a bit later on in the show. carole, have we got to take care? oh, there's no question. >> we have, you know, he really needs to get a grip on this situation. he made that statement and said, today, there's no such thing as two—tier policing in this country. it's an insult to the nation's intelligence because we've seen it. we saw it at harehills, we've seen it at the

blm riots. we've seen it at the just stop oil. right. but as soon as there's a protest in southport, wow. the riot cops are out there battering the hell out of people. as you say, there's no one there. so we know it's an insult to our intelligence to say it is not going on. he's really got to get a grip of this situation, because to stand there and talk about far right thuggery, when we've seen it's much more than far right, there is far left thuggery. and as you said, there are groups of asian men. i mean, i've seen you must have seen the films that i've seen over the weekend on tiktok, wherever lots of asian men shouting their muslim defence league. i saw that carrying weapons today, and yet we're not hearing about them. and we need to, because this is why the people of this country are upset. they've been talking about this for a very long time and no one's listening. >> now look again, i'll emphasise several things can be wrong all at the same time. all right. torching a migrant hotel? wrong. having a swastika tattoo . wrong. having a swastika tattoo. obviously wrong. all right. but why are we only hearing predominantly about one thing? you know, this is going on at the moment in birmingham, we had jess phillips as well, who's an

mp in the local area who tweeted out something absolutely remarkable a few hours ago, saying that the reason why these people were there all right. to be clear, all day rumours have been spread that a far right group were coming and it was done entirely to get muslim people out on the streets to drive this content. it's misinformation being spread to create trouble. now, there were video clips that emerged of some of those people appearing to carry swords. all right. now, benjamin, i will ask you, you know, what are the playing out there? why can't they just call this stuff out? >> well, she was talking about the fact that lots of muslims feel afraid, feel intimidated, have been on the receiving end of very serious threats. and so, you know, going out to protest, to be visible, to say it's their community is absolutely fine. but clearly what unravelled was far more threatening. and the truth is that whether it's the muslim defence league or the remnants of the english defence league, these are angry, angry, violent men that are behaving completely unacceptably. and, you know, i think keir starmer has been pretty tough on everybody. but he should be specific in calling it out. >> that's his problem, isn't it, because he sees all this as cases to be prosecuted. he's

missing the point. this is about a long term problem that needs a solution. >> all right. look, i'm just going to play a little clip here now. and then i'll come to you michelle, because i know you've been waiting very patiently there, but let's just let's just take this clip away now, all right. go a bit closer. >> i'm just here to report i don't stand or this is a reportedly a pub in the in the birmingham area. >> and so that it appears that that some of those chaps who were on that roundabout or in the vicinity of the area anyway, have now gone, and they appear to be, according to that clip. now, just just battering a pub . now, just just battering a pub. okay. you know, so does keir starmer. now have to come out and condemn this? >> i think he does. but i think he's made a big mistake by pinning this all on far. right. because actually what we've been seeing in the last few days is,

is rent a mob. these are people that are just going out there for any excuse, people that are political activists that care about issues, that care about things like immigration, are not going to loot their corner shop and, and, and damage local businesses and their community. these are people that are doing this for the hell of it. and for the fun of it. and keir starmer painted himself before in the election as the chap that was the law and order expert, the chap that could get britain in control, and he's failing at his first test. and why are we having a cobra meeting today? you know, my government , the you know, my government, the previous government got a hell of a lot stuff wrong, and i'd be the first to admit that. but at least we were quick to act on things like cobra meetings and why. >> michelle, is he not recalling parliament? this is absolutely gets it can't get worse than this. and yet he's he's letting all the mps go on holiday, which i find disturbing. >> i think it's astonishing you've got four countries now in the world that are telling their people, don't come to the uk because it's too dangerous. what is that going to do to our long term reputation for tourism, for global prosperity, for business,

for inward investment? and instead of recalling parliament, he is just letting them all go on holiday. >> and even more serious. riots broke out in 2011 and boris johnson, then mayor of london, refused to return from his holiday. so that doesn't matter, ben, thank god. >> well, that's that's irrelevant, he wasn't prime minister and he's not prime minister and he's not prime minister today because i'm just i'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of the statement, not hypocrisy. >> it's a fact. >> yeah. this is what's happening now. i think what you're seeing now and you cited his tweet during it, the person that's holding responsibility for this being possible is elon musk. lots of this is being organised on social media. far right racists are whipping up misinformation and lies online. thatis misinformation and lies online. that is driving. >> sorry, i'm sorry, but can i have to go out with a sword? >> if someone puts something online, do you think it's your responsibility? >> okay, but it's justification. >> i'm saying that's why. >> i'm saying that's why. >> yeah, but okay, but let's unpack that a little bit, because what i've actually done about that, they've grandstanded today and they've said, well, we will do something this week. have they called all of the people around the table? have they had a conversation? if they said, what are your plans? what

are you doing? because that's what i did when i was in that role. they haven't actually dean role. they haven't actually dealt with it. they've just made some comments. >> i can't just ground us back in because, you know, we're going to have another discussion. a little bit later on about specifically whether or not it's okay to just try and throw the big far right now over everyone here and potentially in the process, try to silence millions and millions of people. i want to steer us away from that. i'm just back to this two tier thing because so far, this labour government has had to deal with harehills, the manchester airport incident and the subsequent disorder in rochdale. and now this okay. and you know, i was i was away last week which meant that i was, you know, absorbing a lot of this content as well as some vitamin d from a sunbed. and i'll be here and i'll be honest with you, i saw a reaction about far right. and i haven't seen a reaction, really, about anything else. and, and i think that is to tier. >> it's completely two tier. we know it is. and so to say to the british people that's not happening. we've seen it. the things you mentioned before, labour got into power because it

isn't all a labour problem. let's face it. you know, we see what happened with the pro—palestinian marches. you have people who hate jews out every saturday shouting obscenities, carrying weapons. they're not arrested. we see that happening. we see just stop oil protesters. they get a light touch. most of the time that's people say that and they cross about it. and i just think that this is this is anger that's been festering for a long time. and starmer today should have come out and condemned all the violence from all sides. >> and he didn't do it all. he had to do, benjamin i think, was throw a couple of sentences in that first speech and then definitely the second speech, mentioning things like what we're seeing by this look, whatever they called the muslim defence league, i don't know what they want to call themselves, but whatever, whatever that is. and then the harehills stuff and the and the rochdale stuff as well. and he and he's ignored that. that is a choice he's made. and i just think that might be the wrong choice. >> i think you have to be careful to not inflame these tensions more, not to try and marginalise the community that feels threatened. that's no justification for any of the things like the threatening of

the reporter or holding swords. but i think the two tier here is there are too many people who look at those far right thugs and try to claim, oh, it's because they're angry about immigration. those people would fight and be violent over anything. they probably do it after a football match every saturday. this is an excuse for those people. if you're talking about well, that's the point though. >> you had the home secretary today actually blaming islamophobia for some of these attacks that that's going to inflame tensions. this woman is completely out of her depth. >> final word, michelle, i, i wonder if keir starmer has picked a side here. what do you think , think, >> i think he has done i think he's failed in his first test because he hasn't acted swiftly and decisively. i think that he's been still in opposition mode, where it's all about words and rhetoric and stem soundees and rhetoric and stem soundbites rather than actually gripping the problem and saying any kind of action like this by anybody is completely unacceptable, and we're not going to tolerate any of it. it's all as bad as one another. and by going about it the way he

has, i think he's actually in danger of letting it become inflamed because at the moment it is rent a mob. you're right. it is anybody that wants to go out there and hit the streets. >> and again, i'll emphasise this because i genuinely do want to say, you know, it's possible for loads of different things to be awful all at the same time. i think unfortunately we're seeing a lot of that at the moment. my concern is that one side of that is being called out and potentially a blind eye is being turned to the other. but as an almighty row breaks out in whitehall following complaints about a transgender civil servant's work, where should you be allowed to wear fetish gear at work? yeah, and should we be worried about labour dropping plans to slash the size of the civil service? but first, the rail unions, they're reportedly ready to quote cash in now on a limp labour government by demanding double digit pay hikes. but will starmer have the backbone to stand up to them ? backbone to stand up to them? former transport minister kevin foster takes on former labour mp shaun simon and that's next. tuned

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. we're only on gb news now. we're going to be keeping you right up to date with this. that's going on in birmingham as we speak. so this is scenes outside a pub reportedly in birmingham , where it appears birmingham, where it appears that gangs of asian men have have massed. there was also an incident in the area as well on

a roundabout. be interesting to see whether or not we get much political reaction to this, won't it? but in other news, coming up, as a transgender civil servant's choice of work clothing causes a storm. should you be allowed to wear fetish gear at work? yes, that is a serious question. but first, does sir keir starmer have the backbone to stand up to britain's militant trade unions? it's time for tonight's head to head. so it's not just the riots threatening to destabilise the country. mere days after the junior doctors were offered a whopping 22% pay rise, britain's train drivers are now hoping to follow in their footsteps . follow in their footsteps. mailonline has revealed that rail unions are looking to cash in now. labour are in power with aslef bosses expected to demand at least 10% in salary hikes for train drivers after their talks restarted last month. now, transport secretary louise hague has promised to work hand in glove with aslef chief mick whelan, who is a close ally of hague and actually apparently sits on labour's powerful national executive committee. labour are also preparing to

cave in to the unions by announcing plans to repeal anti—strike legislation, potentially giving a green light for strikes across the nhs schools. the ambulance service, border force, rail and fire services. spending on pay rises for junior doctors , in example, for junior doctors, in example, has contributed to the government now spending £1 billion a day. apparently since winning the election just one month ago. and if the unions get their way, that figure looks set to grow tonight. i'm asking, as is revealed, that rail unions are looking to cash in on a labour government and demand double digit pay hikes. does keir starmer have the backbone to stand up to them? let me know your thoughts. go to gbnews.com/yoursay. tweet me @gbnews and while you're there, go and vote in our poll. but going head to head on this now, former transport minister kevin foster and former mp and mep sian simon. thank you very much, both of you. great to have you both of you. great to have you both on the show. and look, kevin, i'll start with you. i mean, repealing potentially some anti—strike laws and already caving in to one whopping great big pay rise. do you think that keir starmer is potentially

about to cripple britain with strikes and also economically? >> well, what we'll probably see is them just give in and leave their taxpayer and passenger to take the hit instead, as you say, they're potentially going to repeal some key legislation that makes it harder to call strike. oh oh, okay, which disrupts people. you know, just remember, they're not victimless strike on the rail network. we see people do hospital appointments to get to work. and actually people are a lot lower salaries than the average salary of a train driver. median salary £59,000, not being able to get to work in our money. >> okay. all right, sean, i'll bnng >> okay. all right, sean, i'll bring you in. now, look, you know people, people thought about this, didn't they, before? are we going to have, you know, massive strike armageddon under labour or are we going to have the public purse decimated by the public purse decimated by the unions demanding more and more and more? well, it looks like it might be happening. >> well, it's not happening at all though, is it? i mean, the story is that, reportedly the

unions are going to cash in by asking for a double digit pay increase. but given that the tories offered them an 8% pay increase and they refused, what do we think they were asking the tories for? sure enough, they were asking the tories for a double digit pay increase. exactly. the same as lew hague says that she's going to get a double double digit increase. no, she hasn't . double double digit increase. no, she hasn't. is it possible that she might do? well, it's possible because maybe lie—ins is a good idea for the national rail infrastructure and indeed the entire public sector is not crippled by strikes. it has been under the tories for years. how many, how many days do we lose by strikes in the public sector under the tories? and the answer is more than france. >> yeah, well, i suppose you know when we're striking more than france, we know we've got a problem . but i will just, i will problem. but i will just, i will i will reintroduce former transport minister kevin foster here. you know, is there some truth to that? i mean, the

difference i would argue potentially, is that, you know, the likes of mick whelan is not on the tories national executive committee, is he. whereas supposedly is on labour's and louise hague has again reportedly said that she wants to work hand in glove with him, which i suppose maybe does make it more likely, doesn't it, that we're going to see more militant action under a labour government ? action under a labour government? >> well, what makes it more likely? well, what makes it more likely? well, what makes it more likely we'll see more militant action is the repealing of some of the legislation that we put in place. but yes, the unions were asking for may. i asked for a double digit, but we were clear in our time that, you know, salaries had to we have to be considered against the backdrop of public finances and what's acceptable to charge passengers. you know, the rail industry is subsidised for billions of pounds each year. you know, like motorists who pay into the exchequer at rail has to be subsidised. they were and let's remember our train drivers, some of the best paid in europe anyway. you know, this is not a job that on an international comparison is badly paid here in the uk. yeah, just give in to every strike. >> sean. sean, sean. can i ask sean? sean? just quickly on

this, can i ask. you'll never have a strike, can i, can i ask you, sean? seriously why do labour need to make it easier for people to go on strike? >> this legislation, they brought it in in 2016 and he's just said, oh, there's going to be loads of strikes because they're going to repeal the legislation. we brought in. well, since they brought that legislation in, there's been more strikes than we've had since the 1970s, more strikes than in france and more strikes by a massive margin than there ever were under the labour government. that's the truth. >> i'll just stick with you on this, sean. i'll give you a final word to kevin, but, you know, possibly a concern here for the taxpayer, right? which is that it's one thing saying to junior doctors, you're going to get i think it's 22% pay rise over two years. and all of that. but it sets the precedent, doesn't it? doesn't it set the tone. and now we've already been told about a big black hole in the finances that nobody could have possibly seen coming. and all shock, horror, we're all going to have to pay more tax. do you think people really want to pay more tax so that train

drivers can be better paid? and you add to that the idea that maybe labour is very, very close to them when it comes to the national executive committee and you think, well, are we just paying you think, well, are we just paying here to keep labour in power? you know, i just i wonder about that. sean >> the, the tories were already offering the train drivers 8%. so now even more you can forget about that. there's never been a question of are the train drivers going to get a significant pay increase? the tories already already offered them a significant pay increase. what we're actually talking aboutis what we're actually talking about is are there is it possible they might get a slightly bigger pay increase under labour than they were going to get under the tories, and therefore go back to work and therefore go back to work and stop bringing misery on millions and millions of people who , costing billions and who, costing billions and billions of country every day, every week over. people have had enough. >> okay, kevin, final word to you on this. i think, you know,

we've just done a big segment and we're going to do a bit more on the ongoing civil unrest that we're seeing now. all right. but i can't help but wonder whether or not that might pale into insignificance if we actually do see unrelenting strike action. and you are clearly concerned in a way that sean is not fair enough about the repealing of the anti—strike laws. why do you think it's such a bad thing? i mean, sean doesn't seem particularly bothered about it. he says. it's been awful so far anyway, and many commuters will agree with that. so? so why is that a bad thing? kevin >> well, it's not just applies in the rail sector, but across many other parts of the economy. if it becomes easier to go out, go out on strike. and, you know, for me , we are hearing, okay, we for me, we are hearing, okay, we i set the point that labour might just give in to every demand, but i think there'll be many pensioners who are . losing many pensioners who are. losing their £200 winter fuel allowance this winter will be wondering that perhaps they had a trade union with a seat on the nec, with labour adopted a different view to them. >> it's a good point to finish

off. but both of you, thank you very much. it's a good head to head that it is a good point that, you know, if pensioners are going to suffer and people who have got a big working age career in front of them and continue to work for years and years and years, you know, could be getting a way above inflation pay be getting a way above inflation pay rise that i'm not sure how well that sits. but anyway, look, hey, who do you agree with? has it been revealed that rail unions are looking to cash in on a labour government and demand double digit pay hikes? will sir keir starmer stand up to them? tony onyx says i'm a bus driver in cornwall and we're striking for two days next week over fair pay workers deserve to be paid properly, colin says. must be nice getting a double digit pay rise when pensioners are losing their winter fuel payments. yeah, there you go, john, says starmer hasn't got a backbone and he'll end up bankrupting the country. well, look, your verdict is in 8% of you think that sir keir starmer will stand up to the unions, 92% of you say that he will not. coming up as ex—labour mp turned gmb presenter ed balls is ridiculed for this softball interview with his wife , home interview with his wife, home secretary yvette cooper. >> can i ask , because we've

>> can i ask, because we've talked about this a few times in the last few days, like many of our viewers will have done at home. >> i'm sorry, but i absolutely ridiculous. are the establishment media totally detached from ordinary brits? how can it be allowed that that the home secretary has given that kind of interview by her own husband, with everything going on? former editor of the sun, kelvin mackenzie, gives his no nonsense take shortly. but first, as a trans civil servant's rac workwear starts a blazing row in whitehall. is it ever appropriate to wear fetish gear at work? and should we be concerned that labour is now refusing to slash the bloated, civil service inclusive culture expert joanne lockwood weighs in before tory mp sir philip davies has his

next. welcome back . and now just to welcome back. and now just to a developing situation that is ongoing. sadly in birmingham there's a gang of men who appear to be smashing cars. now, we brought you some footage earlier on of another gang of what appear to be predominantly asian men on a roundabout, you can see that there appears to be a similar situation taking place, people smashing cars. and i will warn you ahead of time that we also have some footage that is very, very concerning of some physical violence towards a man outside a pub in birmingham. we

are going to bring that to you. i will warn you ahead of time on that, but we'll bring that to you in just a couple of minutes time. and, you know, the political reaction here surely has to be has to be strong and has to be has to be strong and has to be swift. but still, to come, fleet street legend kelvin mackenzie is going to have a no nonsense take on what we're seeing. but first, transgender civil servant has sparked a bizarre political row after being accused of wearing fetish gear to do their job in the department of work and pensions. complaints have been lodged by colleagues at the male at birth. serosa amethea tweedale , one of serosa amethea tweedale, one of the two co—chairmen of the lgbt+ civil service network. they stand accused of regularly wearing low cut black corsets , wearing low cut black corsets, fishnet tights with high heels and gothic chokers with a pentagram. when obviously just going to work. the row is believed to have prompted baroness jenkin, a tory peer, to table two, written questions in parliament about whether or not it's okay to ask to wear bondage gear at work, she said. to ask his majesty's government what is their policy on civil servants

wearing fetish clothing in the workplace? meanwhile, the government has quietly dropped tory plans to cut 66,000 civil service jobs. sir keir starmer's decision to scrap the planned cuts came after he appointed sue gray, a former civil servant, as his all powerful chief of staff. all right, we're going to deal with these two stories, consecutively. i'm going to start with the old bondage gear. so to shed more light on this, we now welcome inclusive culture expert joanne lockwood. joanne, thank you very much. should civil servants be allowed to wear fetish gear at work ? wear fetish gear at work? >> hi, patrick, thanks for inviting me back , the question inviting me back, the question here really is, does the organisation, does the civil servants have an acceptable dress code policy and the acceptable dress code policy should dictate how people present themselves at work. and the fact that this person happens to be a transgender woman shouldn't be the news story here. many people come to work, many men in shorts and sandals. women come to work with short skirts and low cut tops.

doesn't make the daily mail, doesn't make the daily telegraph. don't necessarily come in full bondage gear, though, do we? >> you know, i mean, there is a difference. there is a difference. there is a difference between a miniskirt and a, you know, the old the old bondage club. i think we'll all concede that, won't we? >> yeah. i did some research in the daily mail and daily telegraph, and the fetish she described is a corset and fishnet tights and it's is that fetish gear is that, one person's fetish gear is another person's fetish gear is another person's good night out. so are we policing people's bodies again? i'll be. when is it? when is too many tattoos? when is too many ear piercings? what about. >> i suppose it's the idea. yeah. look, i do, i do, you know, i don't want to come across as too prudish or anything, right. you know, but at the same time, i do think that there is a question to be had about whether or not it is appropriate for somebody, anybody, by the way, in this case, they happen to be they happen to be a transgender individual who's the head of some kind of lgbt plus group within the civil service. now, a

lot of people think that that kind of woke guff shouldn't necessarily exist anyway in the civil service, when so many aspects of the country are on their knees. you've got the department of work and pensions there. i mean, you've got all sorts going on, haven't you? and we had £11 billion in benefits for it over the last two years. it might be nice if they focused a bit more on that. on what fishnet leggings and pentagram they were going to wear to work they were going to wear to work the next day. you know. do you just think that maybe this doesn't quite set the right tone for the civil service, >> again, i think if we take the fact that this person is transgender out of the equation, then we're talking about a person wearing clothes that do or do not meet the acceptable dress code policy for that organisation. then we can have a sensible conversation. and as you say, the department are wasting money and doing all this. we're wasting time talking about this. when we got riots on the streets, that's far more news. but yeah, we're talking about someone's clothing. we're trying to police them. and i think if we take the word transgender out there, let's take the heat down and just say, hang on a minute. what is their policy? does that person meet the expected dress code, yes or

no, regardless of their gender identity or how they're how they present? >> yeah, i mean, i do wonder if it speaks anyway to the psychology of the civil service, which is that if anyone was to clap back on that, that they might end up finding themselves on the wrong side of some kind of discrimination suit and that thatis of discrimination suit and that that is that is some kind of woke show of force or almost potentially. but look, joanne, thank you very much. bit short and sweet and i'm very sorry i've been squeezed by the by the other news stories of the day. i will well, i will, i will talk to you again soon. all the best right now our welcome former conservative mp philip davies. philip, the other aspect of this is that the bloated civil service. and no, i'm not making a comment there on the individual we were discussing earlier on and a desperately need streamlining, doesn't it? and apparently labour are now not going to streamline it. is that a problem ? that a problem? >> it's quite extraordinary, to be honest . patrick, i mean, be honest. patrick, i mean, labour said a few weeks ago, there's no money. we've run out of money. in fact, we've run out of money. in fact, we've run out of money. in fact, we've run out of money. so much we're going to have to take away the winter fuel allowance for pensioners. we're going to have to have an emergency budget and we're going

to jack up taxes. both are things that we didn't say we were going to do in the general election, but we're going to have to do them because the financial situation is so dire. but then we have an above inflation increase in pay for pubuc inflation increase in pay for public sector workers . we're public sector workers. we're dishing out money on overseas aid as if there's no tomorrow. and now we find out that they're going to not cut 66,000 civil service jobs that were in the pipeline. and this, by the way, is not austerity , patrick. this is not austerity, patrick. this is not austerity, patrick. this is not austerity , cutting 66,000 is not austerity, cutting 66,000 civil service jobs. the number of civil servants in the uk have gone up by 100,000 in the last five years, 100,000 more civil servants now than there were in 2019, which should be of some embarrassment to the previous government. it has to be said, but at least they were trying to do something about it and accepted that the situation had got too bloated. what on earth is the justification for saying we still need 100,000 more civil servants now than we had five years ago? it's completely and utterly unacceptable. and it just goes to show that labour, when they say they've changed,

they haven't changed. >> what do they do as well? philip this, this, this. yeah, this this is the thing. right. like if the country was running like a well—oiled machine, then you know, maybe i could just think, oh, it's a great thing. we've got 100,000 more people working in the civil service. but i mean, a lot of the stories certainly towards the back end of the tory government, was the civil service appearing to get in the way of everything you wanted to do? >> yeah, exactly. now, look, it may well be that the labour government have decided, look, we don't want to run into the same problems that the previous government did with the civil service, trying to block the things that were trying to do. and so what we'll do is we'll appease them on every possible level, and therefore they'll be enthusiastic about delivering our programme. >> i don't know if that's what they're thinking or not, but i think we know now. patrick why they were hot, while they were whooping with delight when they saw the new labour ministers walking into each of the government departments because they knew that their job was safe now. >> well, quite possibly. look, thank you very much. always a pleasure. great to see you again, sir philip davies there on the civil service. now dave penman, who's the general

secretary of the fda, which represents the civil service, it's there. the union says the previous government's approach to setting a fixed headcount reduction was not only intellectually bankrupt, opposed to driving efficiencies, but also led to perverse outcomes such as an increase in consultancy spend across the civil service. they were repeatedly advised that the approach was unworkable, but prioritise easy headlines over actual solutions. well, hopefully now we can get things moving in britain. do you think we will? i'm not so sure. coming up as groups of seemingly asian man caused chaos on the streets of birmingham, is it wrong to blame the disgraceful riots sweeping britain solely on the far right? i'm going to take a much closer look and, look at the root cause , actually, of the root cause, actually, of this disorder on britain's streets. but next, this aged well from andrew marr once for the first time in many of our lives. >> actually, britain looks like a little haven of peace and stability . stability. >> yeah. how's the establishment media ever been more out of touch with ordinary brits than it is now? fleet street legend, man of the people. some of them.

anyway, kelvin mackenzie is live in the

okay. welcome back. now look, just a quick warning for you. the next clip contains very violent images that some viewers may find distressing, but i think it's important we show it. see, these are the latest pictures from birmingham , where pictures from birmingham, where hundreds of men wearing masks and balaclavas gathered near a mcdonald's in the city centre. they appeared to have now violently attacked a man in a pub , and we can see some pub, and we can see some palestine flags there as well, can't we? and that is one of several videos like this that we are seeing currently taking place in birmingham. okay, so it will be interesting to see if we have, you know, a political reaction to this, won't it. do we think they're far right? but first, after a weekend of violent rioting across the uk, home secretary yvette cooper was talking tough earlier this morning. >> and we should be clear there

will be a reckoning. those criminals will pay the price. there have already been hundreds of arrests. we have made clear to the police they have our full support in pursuing all of those involved with the full range of prosecutions and penalties. >> all right. okay. but then she was interviewed by her own husband, ed balls, on itv's good morning britain earlier. >> can i ask, because we've talked about this a few times in the last few days , like many of the last few days, like many of our viewers will have done at home, what can be. >> yeah, there we go. and if you thought that was bad, she'd take a look at sky news reporter in middlesbrough yesterday, very keen to call out the far right, but less when she was confronted by another group. >> so we've got here, we're just going to move away because this, with weapons, potential weapons in his hand, he said to me , no, in his hand, he said to me, no, it's all right. you're safe. but, you know, you can just see the level of activity. yeah, i'm joined now by the former editor of the sun, kelvin mackenzie. >> kelvin, what have you made of the media's response to these

riots so far? >> well, there is there is a massive problem, that they don't want to get caught up in looking like like there are there is an issue that is underlying the issue that is underlying the issue of the violence . no media issue of the violence. no media can defend the way that police officers have been attacked. it's beyond beyond shocking. however what why was this started ? and when this ends and started? and when this ends and it will end, right? it'll end with a lot of people going to jail for a very long time. when you think that the just stop oil guys got five years and four years, right, what will happen then? the basic underlying issue will still be there. and will the politicians , whether they're the politicians, whether they're laboun the politicians, whether they're labour, who seem basically in favour of the boats continuing to come here, the tories, who were totally useless over 14 years, lib dems or anybody, and the trouble with reform is it's not big enough to do anything. so people are going to continue

to feel frustrated because parliament can't do anything about it or won't do. >> but yeah, fine. but also, you know, the media has got a role to play in this. and very often people go, oh, you know, you've been inciting stuff. people have been inciting stuff. people have been inciting stuff. well, sorry. you know, we've we've currently got a tinderbox in britain. the home secretary is responsible for dealing with this. and today itv thought it was a good idea for her own husband, a former labour minister, to interview her. >> it's totally ridiculous. and had that been gb news, had that been jacob rees—mogg, who was interviewing mrs. jacob rees—mogg? you can be absolutely sure that the people called the off communists ofcom would have been on them at 100 miles an hour and by the end of the night you would have been apologising or be being forced off air. it is ridiculous. and who was the idiots at gb? good morning britain who actually thought that this was a good idea? why didn't they just stand aside? have they not got a. is there not a political editor of itv?

you know, sometimes i wonder whether there is, but actually they should have done something about it and they chose not to. why? because actually they don't care, do they? >> let's be honest , i just care, do they? >> let's be honest, i just found that astonishing, really. an itv spokesperson has said following a weekend of rioting and national unrest, gmb featured a range of interviews and discussion around the national emergency on today's programme, which included james cleverly, shadow home secretary, and yvette cooper, home secretary we are satisfied that these interviews were balanced, fair and duly impartial. yeah, okay, i think the point still stands as to whether or not if your husband is interviewing somebodys wife about, you know, riots. is that. yeah >> they'd be they'd be married for 26 years. they've got three kids. they could have said, by the way, did you get the milk in? you know, this was this is a major, major. and by the way, now , international, problem for now, international, problem for our country . and actually it was our country. and actually it was completely wrong. itv completely hopeless. >> look, you know, itv obviously issued a strong statement there and that's that in that sense. but i think one of the major

issues with this is that a lack of trust in the media, and this is something that we're going to talk about in the next hour that i think has actually fuelled a lot of what we're seeing now. but in the wake of the riots, the prime minister's approval ratings have collapsed. his net approval rating has fallen by almost 16 points. now the honeymoon period is over, isn't it, calvin? >> yeah, it was right. i've said on this show it was never going to have a honeymoon period. the day he got elected. those potholes were socialist potholes. this issue is no longer what happened 14 years ago. what happened, what, six years ago with the boat people? it is their issue, how they react to it, right? actually, he has chosen actually, i think, to try and be, quite calm about it, except why does he have to keep on going on television to explain that he had a meeting. right. you know, all we want to know is that there are more police officers and that the bad guys are dealt with. i want to i want to see the bad guys dealt with all of the bad guys. >> you know, i'll say it again. you you've got a bloke wandering around with a swastika on his

back. yeah. you know, nick him. you've got people setting fire to a margaret hotel. nick them obviously. that's awful, you know. then is there any sense, i mean, what's been going on in birmingham, which we keep showing you clips of, you know, i haven't seen many police there. i don't see many police there. i don't see many police there. there's not been there for hours. and look, maybe the situation. i'm not right there right now, okay? i'm sitting here in our studio in paddington, but this has been going for on hours. this stuff. has there been a massive police reaction to that? i don't think there has. and that's a concern. okay >> well, look, if there were any sign at all of that lot attacking the attacking the police, right. i think the whole country would become right on the edge of it. really exploding while they're not attacking the cops. it's not quite the same. what? i can't understand is why so many young men feel it right. to attack police officers is, i mean , i've seen it put down to mean, i've seen it put down to andrew tate. is that true ? andrew tate. is that true? right? | andrew tate. is that true? right? i don't think it is. well, why are they doing it then? why are suddenly. it's the first time in my lifetime i've ever seen so many police officers being attacked. it is

not right, kelvin, thank you very much for answers on that. >> kelvin mckenzie. i'll have all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages to bring you. but next. is it wrong to blame the disgraceful riots sweeping britain solely on the far right? i'm going to take a much closer look at the root cause of all of this. now it's going to play you some clips and see what you make of it, okay? because frankly, i wonder whether or not actually what we're seeing is the demonisation of millions and millions and millions of people, not just in britain, but right across europe because of the vile action of a few thugs. and if keir starmer wants to throw a far right blanket over it, frankly, i think that's going to backfire on him. stay tuned for that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb. >> news . >> news. >> news. >> hello. good evening. here's your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. there will be some sunny spells, but also a few showers

around tomorrow before then though, we do have a band of rain still making its way across the country. that's because we have a front that's brought some rain to parts of northern uk already, and it's now making its way east southeastwards across parts of england and wales, with some heavy bursts in amongst it towards the southeast. we're staying dry through this evening and overnight and here temperatures not dropping a huge amount. so another relatively warm night because of some high humidity. but we do have fresher air coming in behind this front. and so things are going to be turning fresher as we go into tomorrow. first thing tomorrow morning. do watch out for some heavy bursts of rain, particularly across parts of east midlands into lincolnshire and also across some central southern parts of england. there may even be some rumbles of thunder around as well in the far east, starting bright but rain arriving later. also plenty of bright, fine weather across parts of the south—west wales, northern england , northern northern england, northern ireland and much of scotland too. with that front having pushed through already. that being said, there will be a few

showers around, particularly towards western parts of scotland, and as we go through the day tomorrow we are going to see those showers becoming a bit more widespread , especially more widespread, especially across scotland and northern ireland. but even parts of england and wales could see a few showers at times. the front is going to still be lingering across parts of far eastern england as we go through into tomorrow afternoon, but the rain looks pretty light by the time it reaches here. still some relatively warm conditions across the far east, mid 20s here, elsewhere, a bit fresher because of that fresher air coming in on wednesday. we can expect some heavy showery rain across scotland and then plenty of showers elsewhere and a bit of showers elsewhere and a bit of a cool, breezy feel to things as well. and then later on in the week i'm looking at a bit of rain arriving as we go through thursday, and there could be some more rain pushing through on friday, as well as a series of fronts come in from the atlantic. bye bye. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather gb

>> it's 10 pm. i'm patrick christys and it's kicking off as we speak . we'll go bit closer. we speak. we'll go bit closer. we've got what appears to be aspects of the british asian community rioting around the birmingham area, and people torching migrant hotels as well. so then i won't shy away from calling it what it is. >> far right thuggery . >> far right thuggery. >> far right thuggery. >> why does our pm only pick out one side? >> and can i ask ? because we've >> and can i ask? because we've talked about this a few times in the last few days, like many of our viewers will have done at home, and itv think it's okay for our home secretary to be interviewed by her own husband. >> are we kind of getting a two tier policing system ? tier policing system? >> an our top cop basically commits a crime on camera. i

mean, we need to talk about the reasons why we're in this mess, don't we? plus god willing, this crisis will culminate in a gold medal. >> and that would be the best response . response. >> that's the boxer. they're accused of being a man, beating at women at the olympics, playing the pity card. and i've got all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages with express columnist carole malone, journalist benjamin butterworth and ex—tory minister michelle donelan. oh, yes, and find out what meghan markle is banging on about here. >> part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine, is being able to be really open about it. >> get ready britain. here we go . >> get ready britain. here we go. keir starmer can't just call millions and millions of people far right .

millions and millions of people far right. next. >> good evening. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom. your top story this hour. over 370 arrests have been made over the past week in relation to the unrest. as disorder continues across the uk tonight. dozens of people have now appeared in courts charged over the ongoing riots . justice secretary shabana riots. justice secretary shabana mahmood said those involved in far right thuggery should expect to face the full force of the justice system. meanwhile, merseyside police have said that one child remains in hospital after the stabbing attack in southport, which sparked the riots. families gathered at a vigil today, a week on from the murders of bebe king elsie dot stancombe and alice dasilva aguiar . meanwhile, rival aguiar. meanwhile, rival protesters are facing off in plymouth tonight where police are attempting to push back demonstrators after they clashed with officers in riot gear. devon and cornwall police say arrests are ongoing after a

police van was damaged and officers were met with a level officers were met with a level of violence. armed forces minister luke pollard, who is also the mp for plymouth, sutton and devonport, says protesters that have brought violence to plymouth's streets tonight have no place in our city. >> the diversity of our city makes us stronger, doesn't make us weaker and we know that those people who have come to our city tonight , who people who have come to our city tonight, who have brought violence onto our streets, who have thrown projectiles at people who have abused people because of their background or their skin colour or their faith. >> they have no place in our city that's not what plymouth is about. that's not who we are. thank you to the police for keeping us safe. to services from the city council to local businesses who have all taken steps to reassure people to keep people safe. we've still got a long way to go tonight, but there is no place for hate in plymouth. >> now to birmingham, where

tensions are high. tonight, crowds of muslim men have gathered in response to the ongoing unrest in footage circulating on social media, hundreds of men can be seen taking to the streets. it's understood the muslim community in birmingham had initially gathered to protect their local mosque . meanwhile, several mosque. meanwhile, several countries have issued safety warnings to their citizens in the uk due to the riots. nigeria, malaysia and australia have sent out alerts telling people living or visiting the uk to stay away from demonstrations, and billionaire elon musk has responded to sir keir starmer asking him why he won't condemn attacks on all communities. it's after the prime minister dismissed comments from the world's richest man, claiming that civil war is inevitable in the uk. mr musk, the owner of x, made the comments on the social media platform below. a video of rioters. in response, the prime minister's spokesperson said there was no justification for his comments, saying online

platforms have a responsibility. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sophia wenzler more in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gb news. >> com forward slash alerts . >> com forward slash alerts. >> com forward slash alerts. >> a fuse has been lit under briton keir starmer and the luvvy media establishment can't just call everyone far right and hope this problem goes away. now let me make something very , very let me make something very, very clear. setting migrant hotels on fire is wrong. having swastika tattoos is wrong . being a racist tattoos is wrong. being a racist is wrong. those things are far right and there is no place for them in british society. however, there are millions and millions of ordinary people in britain who are not far right . britain who are not far right. they're just fed up of being

ignored and lied to about their legitimate concerns by politicians and the establishment media. they don't like the fact that there was little to no political to will call out grooming gangs. they don't like the fact that as of friday, apparently more than 3000 illegal immigrants have come across the channel since labour struck the rwanda scheme. and that we're all paying for that. they don't like the fact that. they don't like the fact that an asylum seeker stabbed an elderly to man death in hartlepool, or that another one stabbed a young lad to death in bournemouth, or that we now have machete madness every single day they don't like the idea, do they, that the media tries to gaslight them sometimes, like the bbc saying 27 police officers were injured during a largely peaceful anti—racism protest or sky news wanting to talk about the far right problem on the streets, but seemingly getting a bit squiffy and trying to avoid what appeared to be ethnic minority males with weapons also on the same streets . weapons also on the same streets. >> so we've got here, we're just going to move away because this ,

going to move away because this, with weapons potential weapons in his hand, he said to me, no, it's all right. you're safe. but, you know, you can just see the level of activity. >> i mean, is it really just a far right problem this or itv thinking that at this moment in time, when our government and our home secretary specifically appear to have lost control of britain, that it's a good idea for yvette cooper to be interviewed by her own husband, can i ask, because we've talked about this a few times in the last few days. >> like many of our viewers will have done at home, what can be done, what should be done now by the social media companies and the social media companies and the police and the government to stop this happening, because it's been happening for a week. >> well , it's been happening for a week. >> well, you're right, ed, that we have seen these , the what we have seen these, the what things that are appearing online that are clearly criminal. >> oh you're right. as i said to you over breakfast this morning, i mean, come on, people don't like being told that they're

racist, that the british countryside is racist, that they need to pay reparations, that our national history is all evil , our national history is all evil, that we've got unconscious bias and that poor white working class people have some kind of privilege that they need to repent and feel guilty about. and they've been told all that stuff for a very long time, haven't they? people don't like the idea that if you do this, if you demand that these police officers are not just stripped officers are not just stripped of their job, but they are put on trial, just like we would be if we assaulted any police officers now, we would end up in the dock. then our politicians won't call you out and our police don't seem to want to come after you. but if you want to go and watch an england game like the euros final and have a few beers with your mates, the police might nick you . right? police might nick you. right? i will say it again for the avoidance of any doubt, in all of this, there is no place for far right criminality in britain. but there are millions and millions and millions of people who are just fed up. and

i don't think we have a prime minister who is willing or able to admit that these people have perfectly legitimate concerns about things like mass immigration, illegal immigration, illegal immigration, integration , immigration, integration, multiculturalism and crime. and if he can't even acknowledge it, then he certainly can't deal with any of it, can he? now, i don't worry that our prime minister wants to call out the far right. i actually worry that he might want to call millions of normal people far right as well. let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. we've got express columnist carole malone. i'm joined by journalist benjamin butterworth and former cabinet minister as well for the tories , michelle donelan. look tories, michelle donelan. look again just before we get stuck into this. there's the ongoing situation in birmingham, right? and we brought you a short clip of it. but if you're just joining us, do you want to remind us of what has just taken place outside a pub in birmingham, if that's possible, which, again, a warning to people , a warning to people, people, a warning to people, distressing scenes. i'm going to play distressing scenes. i'm going to play it to you because this is

happening, right. this is happening, right. this is happening now. let's do it. so this is outside a pub right in birmingham. and it appears as well that a little bit later on, there was a man getting battered by what appears to be this group of people. let's see if we can play of people. let's see if we can play that as well. right yeah. he's a man of he's had literally kicked in outside a pub in birmingham right now. kicked in outside a pub in birmingham right now . obviously birmingham right now. obviously we don't know what was said in the run up to that. we can only see what we're seeing on this footage here. you've got the palestine flags, you've got general lawlessness, disorder, all of that stuff. now carol, that's that's not the far right, is it? no. >> well, we can see what it is, you know, nothing justifies the violence. you know, the actions of the mob are inexcusable . of the mob are inexcusable. however, this has all got to be seen in a much broader context. you know, after the fears and worries about people, after 20 years of uncontrolled, both legal and illegal immigration have now they've been festering and they've now boiled over and

these people are not far right. they're not stupid either. they're not stupid either. they're just angry. they're just really angry, and they're right to be angry. but what we're seeing here now is it is this is the mobs. this is the mob. but there's a lot of ordinary people who took to the streets at the weekend, a lot of ordinary mums and dads who do not like the world that their kids are going to grow up in. they're seeing their kids stabbed when they go to a dance class. they don't want their kids growing up in that. and they're protesting now and they're angry. >> i just want i do want to make one thing very clear as well, because i've actually just been told that there's this, this, this tweet that i'll read this to you now and then, benjamin, i will come to you because i know you've got you've got different views on this. so this is from lbc reporter fraser knight, who was reporting from birmingham tonight. now he's saying that this has happened as a reporter. ihave this has happened as a reporter. i have just been chased out of an area of east birmingham by groups of asian men who had come out to, quote, protect their community against a planned far right demonstration. cars followed us, we had abuse shouted at us, and at one point a group of around six men ran

after us down a road with what looked like a weapon. we were forced to run. the far right didn't appear to show up, but the community here was on edge, waiting and ready for them. there were on all corners of the roundabout and lined the roads that surrounded it. we were warned that we'd regret it if we hung around. we are safe now. all right. now, benjamin, i have said several times over the course of this show and i want to reiterate this. yeah, walking around with a swastika on your back or torching a margaret hotel shouting racist abuse, all of that stuff. right. it's far right. it's disgusting. it's wrong. but if people are upset about this now, i worry that keir starmer might try to label people with genuine concerns as being far right as well. >> no, i think, you know, if you look back to what happened in southport, the uk editor of itv news, paul brand, spoke about the extreme abuse that they faced from some of the white men there. so this is an attitude to there. so this is an attitude to the media that is dangerous and anti—democracy and you're seeing it from different people. i don't accept that . the people

don't accept that. the people that have been rioting in recent days, not the muslim ones, the white men, that that is because they care about immigration or integration. they want an excuse to behave like this. they are thugs. to behave like this. they are thugs . and i actually think it's thugs. and i actually think it's insulting to people that care about that issue to put them in the same basket. >> the excuse for the muslims, well, they are men of the same description. >> they are violent thugs that want an excuse to do this. but i think britain is better than trying to use that as an excuse to inflame more racial hatred between these two communities. but neither those, neither those muslim men nor the white rioters. in recent days are anything like the vast majority of people are not. >> i don't think there is any excuse for the type of behaviour that we've seen. you know, i was heanng that we've seen. you know, i was hearing the other day about this pregnant lady that was about to give birth, and she was too afraid about going into labour and how she was going to get to the hospital because she lived in a city centre. this is the impact on real people that probably too, are angry about immigration. both legal and illegal, angry about what the

previous government did and about this government dismantling all of the tools to deal with it. but rioting and causing chaos in communities is not the answer. and i don't think it's actually what people are trying to achieve. i think they're just jumping on a bandwagon, but these things happen when you have and i'm talking about the tories as well here, not just labour. >> the tories didn't listen to people feel disenfranchised. they feel that the elites aren't listening to them. the problems they have, people are just feral. they could care less about the labour, the labour government, you know, they're not just labelling people who protest now as far right what they've been doing it for years. >> but let's be clear, these are not protesters. these are rioters that are causing mass destruction to their communities and to our global image . and to our global image. >> but i think there are many more people who aren't on the streets, aren't out there with weapons, who are frustrated at this. definitely. the last government. >> absolutely. and immigration was the issue of the election. but normal people that care about that are not going and bashing down their, their shops and looting. get listened to because i don't believe i don't think it is in modern britain. we cannot excuse this type of

behaviour at all. >> it. i'm just saying this, this is the result of things festering. >> i think there's a concern and we'll round off on this, but i think there's a concern right. that there are there's a, there's a difference between the type of people who i have interviewed over the course of the last two and a bit years on shows like this, who have always been very concerned and not particularly like the idea of a migrant hotel being right around the corner. absolutely. they also don't want to torch it down. yeah, there's a difference between those people, but now i worry that because some of the rhetoric that has been used about far right, this, that and the other that those same people who would stand with a placard outside of margaret hotel would now be branded horrific, far right racists. and i wonder whether or not our prime minister has deliberately done that. >> and, you know, he's called a spade a spade. these are far right words, and he's right to call it. what would be wrong is for him to, to pussyfoot around the issue because he was afraid. look, the thing is, you say they're not being listened to. the problem is these people are listening to lies on the amount of misinformation. what happened

in southport, the lie about what had allegedly happened got round the world before the truth had even been released . even been released. >> by whether there's a lie on social media, it doesn't give you carte blanche to say what led to these riots . led to these riots. >> starting was a lie about who was alleged to have committed those murders. >> just final, final word to you on this show because i think that let's let's shift away from the actual proper criminal stuff. right? that's because that's that's that we've called out loads of times. there is, i think, a groundswell of millions and millions of people who have not felt listened to, who have felt demonised, who are sick and tired of being told that this country is racist, that the countryside's racist, all that stuff. what do we do about that? >> i think i think you're right. there is that groundswell of anger and that was very live in the election and it's not gone anywhere. that anger, despite the changing in government. and i think what's happening now is quite dangerous because people might actually be afraid to talk up about these issues because they will be branded the same as they will be branded the same as the rioters. and then that anger is just going to fester and get worse. how do we deal with it?

by worse. how do we deal with it? by tackling the issues that these people actually care about. head on. >> but lebron got to do it well. >> but lebron got to do it well. >> they're not. so it's going to get worse put in place to safeguard, to try and stop immigration. >> they're dismantling the illegal one by one act rwanda. they've let the new visa system where the tories put anything that you had to have 38 grand joint income before you could come. it hasn't worked. they're scrapping that. so all the controls have been scrapped. now there's nothing. >> well look, this this thing, you know, i've said it before, i'll say it again. i think if the policy is to try to throw a big, far right blanket over people and hope this problem goes away, then i think someone's going to find out the hard way that that's not really going to work. and that is a problem for people. but coming up, i'll deliver the first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages, plus the boxing authorities say that the tests show that imani khalife is a male. okay and they've doubled down on it . down on it. >> god willing, this crisis will culminate in a gold medal. and that would be the best response . that would be the best response. >> so a gold medal for khalife. but at what cost? but next, social business entrepreneur

philip ullman delivers a warning to the uk. we need to break our addiction on cheap migrant laboun addiction on cheap migrant labour. this individual has got a very interesting story. he's been on a journey. he used to employ huge numbers of migrants. okay, and he's now shifted. and he does think that there might be a concern between that and that addiction to migrant labour and some of the issues we are seeing on the streets of britain. so stay tuned

welcome back. this is patrick christys tonight we're on gb news. now i'm going to bring you the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front page you soon and keep you abreast of what is a devastating situation that's taking place in birmingham. but first, i'm delighted to be joined now by the social business entrepreneur philip ullman. now, philip is a former chief executive at one of britain's largest employment agencies. he had more than 100,000 people working for him. the majority of whom were immigrants. it was it was migrant labour. but more recently philip has come to realise that maybe this sort of business isn't actually good for britain, especially in light of the recent events and the ongoing events that we are seeing right now. and he thinks that economic hardship and a failure of integration might be partly to blame, but i will let him do some talking now, because philip joins me in the studio. thank you very much. could you just explain to our viewers and listeners a little bit about

about that? so, so you you were employing let me start from the beginning. >> so i started off in a manufacturing business. i went to university to study engineering. the idea was to join a family company. we manufactured steel wire and i love manufacturing , the trouble love manufacturing, the trouble was we were competing with companies in china with with laboun companies in china with with labour, with cheaper labour, and so effectively we had to sell the company because we couldn't compete. so that was the start. this was the kind of 1989, this was start of the move of manufacturing out of the uk to china. now that immediately means that there's much less employment in the uk and that itself means that that the, the uk i think has lost its way because of the fact that so much of the work has actually gone to china. i think that is problematic. and that's part of the reason why we've seen trouble. now because effectively, a lot of the jobs that we need are not here. >> so do you do you think that there is a link between this kind of level of mass migration that we're seeing and some of

the problems that we're seeing on our streets at the moment? >> yes. and no. i think definitely the there's some underlying concern and people think the system is rigged. let me take it back to my understanding of what's actually going on. now, the one thing that wasn't discussed in the election by either party was what's happened with with money, what's happened with with money, what's happened with with money, what's happened with, with mortgages, what's happened with the cost of living? it was raised so. so most of the population have seen prices go grow by more than 20, 25%. they talk about inflation has now reduced. but those increases haven't been reversed. so many people are seeing everyone seeing an increase in cost of living. and to counter that, what the government say. yeah we've got inflation. we have to increase interest rates . so that increase interest rates. so that means that many people are now seeing mortgages which are doubled. so the first of all,

they see an increase in the cost of living. and then they see that, the their, their mortgage doubles and, and they're struggling to actually put food on the table. so that's the background i think that's the underlying situation. so people feel the system is rigged. >> so for you, one of the big causes behind what we are seeing now is a sense of economic hardship, but also a system being rigged against them. and therefore may be better for some other people. >> correct. and they , they, they >> correct. and they, they, they know they're being left behind. they know this, but they don't understand why. and that is about the whole banking system, which we can discuss if you'd like. but that will take a bit of time to explore with, with banks actually creating money in their own private interests, which is causing inflation of properties, inflation of, of assets, which means that people are struggling now on top of that. and i think that's the reason why people are so no

one's listening to them. and when keir starmer goes on the television and says, i'm going to bash you, i'm going to actually crush the it's sad because he's not listening to people. >> and also if people don't therefore feel as though they've got much to lose, then you're more inclined. i think , to go more inclined. i think, to go out and commit. i'm not, by the way, endorsing this . i say way, endorsing this. i say you're more inclined to care less about getting a criminal record. >> i think you haven't. so that's the link . so once you you that's the link. so once you you feel let down and you don't trust the system, you're angry. and what these thugs which we can't condone are doing is they're tapping in to this, this underlying anger that nobody is actually even talking about solving the problems of these people and therefore they've got nothing to lose because the system is, is not looking after them. they're struggling to put food on the table. they're struggling to, to, to, to buy homes . young people can't buy

homes. young people can't buy homes. young people can't buy homes and therefore they're angry. and therefore that's a perfect environment for these thugs to actually exploit the opportunity just very quickly on this. >> this is a situation that many people have seen coming and been talking about for decades to say, if you create a situation where people feel like that in their own country, then unfortunately you might be end up in a situation where this kind of powderkeg happens. >> no question about it. and it's to me, it's serious. it's part of a systemic collapse, which i think is imminent. i can't tell you when i've seen this for some time that fundamentally, this is the start of social unrest. people are left behind. the interest rates have climbed, which means many banks are actually fundamentally insolvent. the system ultimately is on the point of collapsing, and therefore this is combined with the social unrest. and i think it's all the same symptom. that's why the stock market's crashing over to me is not a separate issue from the problems

with with the riots. i think it's all a sign of huge amounts of debt being created, a huge numbers of people that have been left behind that are not being addressed at all. now, my own experience, just to tell you it was, was just this i imported, i provided to labour lots of the large warehouses. these these are horrible jobs. i'll be straight with you. these were people were working around 19 miles in a shift, and most of them were migrants because our clients wouldn't pay enough to employ the uk labour. because the way the benefit system works, they have to pay more than the benefit and therefore , than the benefit and therefore, therefore this this migrant is actually holding back the pay of people. and it's not only holding that means they can't get the jobs. so these these migrant workers will come in and they would be without their families . they would be without their families. they'd be they would be without their families . they'd be living the families. they'd be living the costs of life in poland or eastern europe. so they'd be sending the money back to eastern europe, which means they could live off less. but they

weren't happy either, because their, family would be in poland, and therefore they were living off a packet of biscuits a week. they were they were living literally in share a bed. one person would sleep in a bedroom in the day, another dunng bedroom in the day, another during the night. >> it's the idea that it's not really helped anyone. and we are where we are today and it's a situation that potentially could have been avoided. look, philip, i would love to have you back on to talking much more detail about all of this stuff. it's a fascinating topic, and i think you alluded to that depressingly. it's not going away any time. going away. so, philip, thank you very, very much. philip bowman. there of course, who was, been quite big cheese, really, when it comes to being a social business entrepreneur. look, coming up, a slight different story. now, the two boxers who failed gender tests are going for gold in paris, but at what cost? and meghan markle opens up again on american tv. >> part of our healing journey. certainly part of mine is being able to be really open about it. >> but next i'll bring you the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. i'm sure it will be dominated by some of

the disorder that we've seen, and i wonder as well, if we have and i wonder as well, if we have a couple more clips for you of this ongoing situation in birmingham. stay

welcome back to gb news. i've got the very first look now at tomorrow's front pages, and they are spicy to say the least. the metro pm's crackdown on rioting thugs. super cops get the call up. right. so apparently we've got this standing army now of specialist police officers being assembled to crackdown. they weren't in birmingham tonight, weren't in birmingham tonight, were they? but anyway, let's go to the daily mail. anger over elon musk's claim that uk civil war is inevitable. billionaire in row with the pm over riots. we're going to return to that because that is that's the one. i think we might focus on. the times musk draws fire from prime minister over claims of a civil war being inevitable in britain. the i goes for uk to deploy

standing army of riot police, but officers fear shortages. i'll round us off for this particular section with the telegraph. they've also got this , telegraph. they've also got this, our prime minister now being essentially at war with elon musk, the richest man in the world, who owns a series of rockets and also twitter x, you know, saying that civil war is inevitable, but also elon musk hitting back and saying, shouldn't you have mentioned all communities and not just the muslim community when you said that you were you were afraid of it all? let's go to the guardian one for one. final one far right attacks should be seen as terrorism, says ex police chief. it's also quite an interesting thing here. australia, nigeria and malaysia and indonesia have issued travel alerts. look, i think i'll be honest with you. i think i'll be honest with you. i think it might be a bit rich coming from a couple of those nations. i'm not sure how safe lagos is, but you know, anyway, there we go. there's only one way to find out. tomorrow's show will be brought live from nigeria. but anyway. right. look, caroline , i'll go to you

look, caroline, i'll go to you first on this. do you think that elon musk was out of order to say that a civil war is coming? >> well, no, because we can see it happening now. this i mean, how how many nights have these raids been going on? it's happening. and starmer has not poured oil on troubled waters. and so they're going to get worse. plus he doesn't actually recognise what the problem is. and if you don't know what the problem is you said it earlier. you can't sort it. so yes i think it's going to get worse. and i think he's right. starmer should have said right from the start, this is happening in all communities because we're seeing it tonight and we have seen it from the start. the only problem is some media outlets aren't talking about it. >> well, you know, there was a clip earlier on sky news that i'm sure most people will have seen online of one of their reporters at this roundabout in birmingham. i think we can play a bit of flow of what we've seen at this roundabout and other places in birmingham where it's, you know, groups of british, asian men and they're delivering a report that's them just attacking cars, by the way. so, you know, that's the thing that's happening. all right. and

this report is at the roundabout. and someone comes up to on a bike, swears a bit, shouts some stuff about palestine, then make some gun gestures at the camera. well, that clip has now been deleted mysteriously from sky news, almost as if someone would say they don't want to acknowledge it. i don't believe that many of the news outlets are talking about this tonight. that's not far right, but we do have benjamin, a prime minister who's very vocal about we cannot have mosques attacked now. of course we can't. we can't have mosques attacks and we don't want that. but, you know, what about communities like that there? they don't want those attacks ehhen >>i ehhen >> i don't think the problem is, is their faith or the colour of their skin. it's their behaviour and you're seeing the same behaviour from different extremes. as for elon musk, you know, i think that man is a is a threat to democracies. he is a dangerous man. he inflames these tensions. he's profiting off these tensions by allowing massive amounts of bots and fake news on his platform. and profiting from it. this kind of chaos, i mean, it was filling his coffers. there was a bit of fake news, though, wasn't there? >> about about some kind of acid attack against some some british

asian people that apparently turned out to be complete rubbish, that that fuels. it's not like it was a one way street. it's my point i'm getting at. it's not a one way street. >> he holds responsibility. some responsibility for what's going on because the lies about it being someone a refugee off a boat, doing the southport attack, which turned out not to be the allegation at all, was allowed to fester on twitter on x and sufficient action wasn't taken. i think elon musk should be called in to explain himself. >> what's the action being taken by keir starmer? come on. >> well, that's what i'm saying. i think they should be calling them in. and the problem is just to say, you'll be able to explain this, that it's so hard as an independent, you know, as an individual country to tackle that. >> so i think what keir starmer has done is he's got it wrong by just lurching and attacking elon musk . actually, there are people musk. actually, there are people out there on on x and other platforms that are inciting violence and encouraging this to, to take place and they're the people that need to be stopped. you know, whilst we need to protect free speech and people can have opinions and they can differ, we shouldn't be

inciting and encouraging violence. so what they should have done last week was get all these platforms, platforms round these platforms, platforms round the table and said, okay, what are your policies? what are you doing? are you increasing your staff numbers? talk us through how you're taking this seriously. how can we help? how can we share our intel? what support can we give you? we're taking this really seriously. that's what we did, not just sort of going off on one. >> yeah, i do think as well there's the possibility that there's the possibility that there's this kind of trope, isn't there, that sometimes a socialist can be quite authoritarian. right. and if you end up with the upshot of this being some kind of clampdown on social media freedoms, the massive increase in facial recognition technology, i mean, there was even some talk about there was even some talk about there being localised lockdowns in the face of these riots and you just if keir starmer goes that way, i think that's a big problem. >> i don't think he'll do anything. in relation to social media, we've done the online safety act, which is the most comprehensive bill in this space in the world. the reality is keir starmer is more interested in grandstanding and making these jabs than actually acting and trying to deal with the

problem . at the root. problem. at the root. >> this does show does show that i think the man is entirely out of his depth in this situation. i mean, we always say a lot of us said before the election that this was a weak leader. he was not a leader. and i think what we've seen in the past few days shows it his home secretary is useless. i mean, all she's doing is coming out with platitudes and soundbites for people. >> it'sjust and soundbites for people. >> it's just one thing, one thing i will say, and i mean this just because it's true, right? this isn't all keir starmer's fault. no it's not, you know. you know, i mean yeah i agree. no i agree i mean i made the point several times. i mean i think he's got about this terribly and i actually do think he's made things a bit worse. right. some of the language that he's made. but this has been a problem in britain that has potentially been brewing brewing for quite some time. and can i just play this, this clip, i mentioned it earlier on. right. so this is a sky news report earlier from this roundabout in birmingham where, you know, groups of asian men have been kicking off. and this was shortly before some people in that area decided to fill a bloke in outside a pub and

attack some cars as well. but here we are . here we are. >> community leaders have been speaking to the police as well because palestine free palestine i think. apologies for the language you're hearing, but a sense of the anger. i think you can hear there. >> yeah. katie, i think we. becky i mean, have they been arrested? >> do you think i should have thought so? >> no, i don't know, but, you know, andrew, what do we do about that? what do we do about that now? because that's that's a problem, isn't it? that that is a problem. yeah. >> but, you know, i think it's too much to say that this is some grand political statement behind either side. i think these are just young, angry , these are just young, angry, thuggish, feral men who are taking advantage of the situation. and, you know , khalid situation. and, you know, khalid mahmood, who was a labour mp, the first muslim mp elected, said after he lost his seat at the election to a so—called pro gaza candidate. he said this isn't about palestine, this is

about something deeper, that they're trying to get one over some of these extremists. and i think this could be another excuse for quite dangerous people to try and inflame racial tensions. >> and we mustn't let well, you mentioned you make that point, and i'm going to show you now a bit of something that i believe has either just finished or is still on going anywhere in plymouth , so this was a plymouth, so this was a bit earlier in the day, as you'll be able to tell there. but as i understand it, there have been clashes there between police, between people who are what would you call them, so—called anti—fascists and people who, certainly those anti—fascists, at least felt as though that where they were, they were far right. devon and cornwall police had 150 officers were deployed in plymouth city centre, and work is ongoing to de—escalate the situation. they say that officers were injured during those clashes. so, you know, there are a variety of different things going on all at once here. we've got aspects of the far right, we've got people who

are just genuinely concerned. we've got unrest from aspects of the british asian community. we've got people who just want to loot a greggs and a and a that's me. yeah. and i, you know, and a train. we've got all of these different things going off at once . anyway, coming up, off at once. anyway, coming up, was it dangerous of elon musk to tell his followers that a civil war was inevitable ? we'll return war was inevitable? we'll return to a bit of that when we do tonight's greatest britain and union. jackass but next, meghan markle continues to defy the firm's mantra of never complain, never explain. part of our heaung never explain. part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine is being able to be really open about it, should the duchess be commended? perhaps that and more of newspaper front pages. look,

welcome back. more from pages for you now. good one here on

the express. so matt boss dodges two tier policing question on the riots by dare i say it , the riots by dare i say it, potentially actually committing a crime live on camera. i'll show you a clip of that in just a second. but the sun have gone for flintoff's first interview. i shouldn't be here after my top gas match this is andrew flintoff, english cricketing hero. look i love the guy. absolute legend, responsible for some of my greatest ever sporting memories. and he's back at it . good lad, right. the far at it. good lad, right. the far right terror says the mirror. back down to earth with a bump. sorry, freddie, but far right terror riots as a target. asian and black communities. the nhs chief says that staff feel afraid and unwelcome. starmer to mobilise army, especially column two scared to leave our homes. yeah okay. all right i get that. and that is bad. it's bad, bad bad. but where's the other stuff. all right. why are we. are we ignoring the other stuff? i just feel like we are, i mentioned to you that we've got a clip of mark rowley, the top cop. so now bear in mind, we're told that this cobra meeting

went really well. that everything's fine. the mood is goodin everything's fine. the mood is good in whitehall, and we've got these protests under control. here he is, our top police officer. responding to a basic question from a journalist . question from a journalist. >> are we going to end two tier policing? so >> rowley has since apologised. but may i suggest you know, i mean, is that not an offence? i mean, is that not an offence? i mean, potentially damage someone's property there. >> we didn't mean to do it, did he? oh dear. i mean it's ridiculous. i mean, i find it more bizarre that he gave a statement saying i didn't mean to do it. >> i just left my body. it was like that thing out of little britain where it's like i was simply walking across the heath. and before i know it, i felt you know, my hand reached out and i grabbed a reporter's microphone, yeah, no shocking stuff, but i mean, look, we are where we are, as they say. and, you know, guys obviously got a level head on him, which is great. now prepare to be shocked. shocked. the two boxers who failed gender tests have reached the semi—finals at this year's olympics. no eamonn,

khalife and lin yu ting have been allowed to compete at the games despite being banned by the international boxing association, known as the iba . association, known as the iba. now, today, they essentially held a press conference in paris, where that boxing association doubled down on their decision to ban these fighters , saying that their fighters, saying that their tests showed that imani khalife is male. now. khalife is still fighting her own corner, though . fighting her own corner, though. >> i send a message to refrain from bullying all athletes because this thing has effects , because this thing has effects, massive effects. >> it can destroy people. it can kill people's thoughts, spirits and mind. and it can divide people. and because of that, i ask them to refrain from bullying god willing, this crisis will culminate in a gold medal , and crisis will culminate in a gold medal, and that would be the best response . best response. >> like to thank my definitely female scottish producer there for doing the voiceover work for imane khelif. but carol should

should that person be banned from the olympics completely or fighting women anyway? >> wouldn't you have the xy male chromosome? it was found in both of those boxers, so no, they should not be fighting other women. the ioc has been complicit in violence against women. they have let happen, this these two people punch women in the face. this is it's just it's appalling. do they not care that a woman could die or be seriously injured here? they don't seem to be, you know, the test that the iba carried out was the test. it wasn't a testosterone test. it was a gender test. and they found that these two had xy chromosomes. they shouldn't be fighting women. go on. benjamin. dolph. >> well, this person was born a woman. has always lived as a woman, has a female birth certificate, as a woman, as irrelevant. but she is a woman and has experienced she has a she has a condition. hang on. okay, carol, we've had this debate in other ways before, and you laughed at the idea that a man can have a cervix. so why are you saying this person is

man? >> this person can person. this person has a condition which gives. this is a woman which gives. this is a woman which gives her the strength of a man. >> the body of a man can have a service. >> so i think let's just inject some common sense here. >> like, how do you know she's got a cervix, by the way? because she's a woman. >> well, anyway, let's just take it back to basics and common sense. it's completely unfair to allow this to happen. it's also dangerous putting a biological woman in this position. and think about the aspiring women that. no, no, but hang on a minute. archewell. well, no, actually, that was disproved by the iba, so it's disputed . the iba, so it's disputed. >> that is disputed because they both have a condition where they have xy chromosomes. the only outlet. that's a woman. that's man. >> the only outlet that has suggested that this person isn't biologically female. well, there's no there's not two outlets tested. there's a russian confederation and they refuse to provide what tests they did or the evidence they came . what about this is russian came. what about this is russian interference and you're putting this woman, this biological woman, at risk. you're talking

female athletes have come out and said that this these are men and said that this these are men and that they shouldn't be competing against women . competing against women. >> and what and what does that do for women's sports ? do for women's sports? >> no. about whether it's a man or a well, hang on, what does it do for women's sport. >> think about aspiring young girls now that are investing all of their time to try and get to the top of their game, they see this and they think, what is the point? >> but that is a biological woman. they have always been a woman, but you've got women can't just say, i think this is this is a disputed area, but what on earth has happened? this person has only been a woman. stop, stop. >> because we have female boxers who have fought other women all their lives, right? they who know who are now in their corners in between rounds saying, i am fighting a man. i am fighting a man, and i defer to the better judgement of a boxer who is used to being punched in the face. that they know that this feels different, right? and i just i'm sorry. right? and ijust i'm sorry. i also would question i can understand why somebody might be desperate to win a gold medal. i'd love to win a gold medal.

would i want to punch women in the face to do it? no. and i do question the mentality of somebody who would want to go and do this. >> you're saying that the mob rule, saying that this isn't a woman when they've only been a woman? >> what are you talking about? >> what are you talking about? >> x y chromosomes. you've got to stop. >> this is bullying on a global scale. but jen, you just use this is moral. this is not a biological woman being condemned because you don't think she she has this individual has an advantage that means that she could overpower the other person in a dangerous way. >> that has to be acknowledged. and this is cheating as well. >> this khalid cannot the she can't help her condition, but she can help taking medals from women. and that's what she's. >> all right. well, we're obviously not going to agree on this, so it's time to reveal today's greatest british union jackass. >> what have i got now, >> what have i got now, >> now, carol, i'm going to go for your greatest britain please. >> well, you might like. this is. i'm going to go for all those brave policemen and women who are out on the streets. all over this country who are

getting battered to hell and back, and they're doing there. they all have families, and they all have families who are worried sick about them not knowing if they're going to come home safe. so thank you to them tonight. >> thank you to the police officers. okay. go on. benjamin oh i see right. no, that's all right. well, i can reveal that your greatest britain is on the front of the sun. >> thank you. no, i just wasn't sure it's been changed. yeah, my greatest britain is. and. no, no, really, it's andrew flintoff. i didn't know it at all. who was injured horrifically while filming top gear and has spoken for the first time about rebuilding his life. and indeed, like both patrick, michelle and me, is a fellow cheshire boy. >> yeah, yeah. and well, lancashire, lancashire. but yeah yeah yeah yeah . yeah yeah yeah. >> i didn't even realise that win you know. >> well done andrew. >> well done andrew. >> trying to win for once. >> trying to win for once. >> well done, well done, well done. go on michelle who's your greatest. >> mine is amber rutter. she won the skeet shooting olympic silver medal. really. it was later revealed she won the gold but they weren't actually they didn't use the live footage to play didn't use the live footage to play it back to know that. but why i picked her is because she's done that. having just

delivered her baby three months ago. and remember that this is highly, impactful on not only the body, but also your psychology. and to have done that after just giving psychology. and to have done that afterjust giving birth three months ago, i think is remarkable. so hats off to her. >> yeah, absolutely. look, i could have gone for any of them tonight. i've gone for amber rutter, actually, just because i thought actually, in all of this bleak stuff, i was actually just kind of a universally nice story. right? so brilliant. all right, now we're a bit pressed for time, but here's a union jack keir starmer. >> he doesn't get it. he doesn't get why the streets are, why britain is a powder keg and the streets are about to blow up right short. >> my union jack says carole malone. >> no, don't you dare. no. >> no, don't you dare. no. >> didn't have a greatest britain elon musk. >> it's elon musk, an honorary for his comments, his inflammatory and interfering comments in our tense week. >> all right. okay, we'll go on. >> all right. okay, we'll go on. >> yeah bridget phillipson she's cancelled the free speech. bill, this is something that i created and brought forward to parliament because i think that universities should be hubs of innovation. you only get that if

you can have debate and challenge and air unpopular but legal views. and i think this now sends a message out to the whole of the world that we're turning our back on free speech as the united kingdom. >> yeah, strong, strong, strong . >> yeah, strong, strong, strong. right, today's winner of the union jack, it is it is sir keir starmer. hey, you know, i think that we're going to have to start seeing a change of rhetoric from him. we're going to have to start seeing it. and i think from yvette cooper as well, you know, i am incredibly fearful of where we are. i'm sure we all are. but anyway. all right. look, thank you very much. i've really enjoyed my first show back after a little break away. so thank you for sticking with me and rejoining, as it were. thank you. thank you, thank you. headliners are up next with no doubt a rip roaring look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages and more. i will see you tomorrow at nine. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. good evening . here's >> hello. good evening. here's your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office.
