maintain a strong police response on the ground, and to keep up the pace of arrests and prosecutions. tonight we've heard that the prime minister has spoken to the iranian president after us officials warned tehran could attack israel this week, sir keir starmer says he expressed his support for ongoing efforts to de—escalate tensions in the middle east and reach a ceasefire and hostage deal in gaza, turning to paris and an investigation is continuing there after a british man climbed the eiffel tower on the last day of the paris games, the shirtless climber was seen scaling the 330 metre landmark yesterday, just hours before the closing ceremony of the olympics. he has now been released, but under investigation for endangering lives and for trespassing . lives and for trespassing. england cricketer graham thorpe took his own life after battling years of anxiety and depression, according to his family in a statement, his wife amanda says she and graham's two daughters are devastated and said he felt

those are the latest headlines . those are the latest headlines. for now, i'm sam francis. your next update from me at 10:00. now, though, back to patrick for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> it's a good job we've been locking people up for facebook and twitter posts. i'm sure everybody feels much safer in 11 year old girl and 34 year old woman have been stabbed in london's leicester square and have been taken to hospital . have been taken to hospital. >> police officers arrested a man who's been taken into custody. the condition of the two victims is currently unknown . two victims is currently unknown. >> yes. today an 11 year old girl was stabbed in broad daylight on one of the busiest streets in britain. so was a 34 year old woman. this comes off the back of the horrific southport stabbings. in fact ,

southport stabbings. in fact, yesterday one of those little girls , alice da silva aguiar, girls, alice da silva aguiar, was laid to rest . was laid to rest. a few days ago, three teenagers were injured in a shooting in orpington in greater london. and today it's emerged that doctors warned that the nottingham triple killer valdo calocane could kill in future. this was ignored. he went on to stab three people, including two university students, to death . university students, to death. he wasn't sent to prison, actually. he got an indefinite hospital order. this is the stuff people care about. and yet today, keir starmer says that cabinet ministers are going to review social media's role in fuelling the riots. starmer can mobilise a standing army of police for far right riots that never happened last week. we can have special court hearings to fast track people into the dock for social media posts. we can put them in prison for years for it within a week of the offence. we can do all of those things

for nasty social media posts, labour says that's a deterrent . labour says that's a deterrent. meanwhile, labour is going to allow violent offenders out early. can anyone make that make sense for me, please? the latest yougov poll shows that crime is now the third most important issue for people in britain. immigration by the way, is now number one. may i politely suggest to our prime minister that this is what people really want him to deal with. we can see there the aftermath of that attack in the street today, where an 11 year old girl was stabbed in leicester square . stabbed in leicester square. keir starmer can play the big man when it comes to elon musk, but he's not big enough to ramp up, stop and search, is he? has he got his priorities all wrong? let's get our thoughts. my panel this evening i am joined by the wonderful trio of daily express columnist carole malone. i've got journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth and the former chairman of the tory party, jake berry. carole, i'll start with you. yeah. as keir starmer got his priorities all wrong here. policing tweets and not the streets completely. >> you know this is this is why

we have you know you've had cooper says we've got to we've got to respect the police. you know we lost respect for these long before these riots. and i'm not talking about the guys that were facing up those riots last week. i mean, all respect to those guys. but i'm talking about the guys at the top here. you know, our police forces. it's visibly woke. it's politically biased. it's virtue signalling. instead of tackling crime, you know, you have you have we are told that there's enough coppers to go on pride marches and to, to do the macarena on the streets of whatever city it's happening in. but there's not enough cops to go and arrest people for knife crime, you know, why couldn't the cops have acted this swiftly to protect those young girls in rotherham? why couldn't they act swiftly on knife crime? but it appears to decent, ordinary people in this country that the cops are not interested in them anymore. they've taken a side andifs anymore. they've taken a side and it's not our side and it's i think people have, you know, we, you know , the woke thing is bad. you know, the woke thing is bad. you know, they sussex police, you know, had to apologise recently to, to to, the whole of

sussex because they had said they'd arrested a pervert, a child abuser who had been convicted and, and he was a trans woman and the police said anyone who referred to him as a man, that was a hate crime now. so they don't care about the kids who've been abused. but just about this man's right as a trans woman now. that's why people lose faith in the police, okay? >> all right. look, i'm sure that whatsoever it was, sussex police would say that they they care about both of those things. yeah, but, benjamin, i'll ask you about this now, you know, look, i don't think people necessarily feel safer that someone has been sentenced to 20 months or two years or whatever. for what we're admittedly at times, you know, vile facebook and twitter posts. i'm not trying to deny that. but then they see, you know, an 11 year old girl stabbed in broad daylight in leicester square. they see what happened in southport. they see machete attacks all the time. they see, you know, all of this stuff going on. women sexually assaulted on an industrial scale across the country. yeah. why are we unable to mobilise a

standing army of police officers and fast track courts for that? >> well, i think it's a mistake to think that these two things aren't related. you know, the internet is becoming the central way in which some of these crimes, whether it's grooming or whether it's the riots, as two examples are organised in which people can be led and misled to go out and behave like this. and i think if you ignore the enormous amount of information that emerges on platforms like x in the example of recent riots, well, then you would have had much worse atrocities on the streets. but there's another point here which is totally valid, which is that i think the public's trust in police and the expectations that the police will carry out so—called low level offences . so, you know, level offences. so, you know, getting something nicked, maybe even someone breaking into your home. you have masses of police forces that haven't had a single prosecution for a street robbery in years. now, i think you have a cultural problem in the police whereby they are more bothered about how they talk about among themselves than how the public sees them. and i know that i've

definitely lost trust in police, in recent years. >> there's just before jacobs, there's an interesting stat this week that said, last year, of all the charges that were put, only five. 5.6% of them resulted in charges . so all the offences in charges. so all the offences that were all the offences and the rest only 5.6%, that means they're not doing it. i just wonder , you know, why are we wonder, you know, why are we doing here where we're going? >> i mean, there are a couple of 12 year olds that were that were brought up in this in this riot thing today. and, you know, you got someone being charged or arrested for you know, one very, very dubious situation. i must say, with some woman in cheshire there about some tweets or a facebook post or something. and meanwhile you have got people who do not fear at the moment, walking around the streets with knives. that's what people are angry about, isn't it? is it just because he's too afraid to ramp up, stop and search? >> well, that may be it, but i think the big mistake that the government's made is that it feels to me like the government has picked a side. >> it is labelled one group of

people as completely far right, and it is literally not literally, but virtually chucking the book at them. people being sent to prison for ten years for being involved in riots, people apparently going to be sent to prison for repeating things on social media for attending the riots, not even taking part for going out of their house to have a look, see what's going on that's happening in in one end of the spectrum, then in the other end of the spectrum, if you take the hare hill riots, where there were 2000 people in leeds , were 2000 people in leeds, according to leeds police, west yorkshire police, who came out riot, set fire to a bus, set fire to a police card. there's only been 27 arrests there and of those 27 people, only four have been remanded in custody. there is a two tier policing system in this country. there's no denying that. and it started actually, i think it's been going on for a long time in around 2020 when you had the black lives, lives matter protest, which saw serious

violence , including in bristol. violence, including in bristol. let's not forget, they actually erected a statue to commemorate those protesters , only briefly those protesters, only briefly in bristol, where the edward colston statue was up, serious criminal damage for which they were never for which they were never found guilty. at the same time you had the anti—lockdown riots where the batons came out and the police arrested people at those black lives matter protests , police officers were protests, police officers were taking the knee in support for the protesters. that is two tier policing. >> let's talk about lockdown as well. remember, you know what, if we're talking about why people have lost trust, we've got ben cops, we've got criminal cops. you know, when wayne couzens happened and the vigil for sarah everard, his victim, who he raped and murdered the cops were used excessive force on that vigil because those those those supporters came out dunng those those supporters came out during lockdown. that is not the way you police while at the same time the blm riots they were in sympathy with them kneeling before them. >> benjamin angle i was listening to a police officer who i know the other day, who was answering this question of whether it's two tier policing,

and he pointed out that when the blm protests happened and when protests of that nature happened, the overwhelming majority of people are peaceful, helpful, assist the police. >> if there's any incidents and those incidents are on the fringes. but when something happens, like the riots in the last weeks, you have all of these men, white men, turning up with the sole . but the with the sole. but the difference is, and let me finish with the sole intention of hurting police, of damaging property. >> the sorry, not sorry. >> the sorry, not sorry. >> that is what that is a two tier approach. >> that is a false. that is a the riots and all the ones in harehills, in leeds , the police harehills, in leeds, the police run away, in leeds, the police run away, in leeds, the police run away. but also let me just pick you up on this. it is absolutely incorrect to say that the blm riots or blm riots protests should not have been placed in that way because people were committing an offence by going to them in the first place, because it was dunng first place, because it was during lockdown. on the other side of the coin, the anti—lockdown riots, the sarah everard vigil batons were out , everard vigil batons were out, police were arresting people. it is a two tier policing system in

this country. >> it does appear as though that there are some certain priorities and when you can see what we are able to do, apparently you've got to combine that with, you know, people being let out of prison. now of course, sentences, they said, because people like jake and some let our justice system some let ourjustice system crumble so that there were just 700 cells in the country when they left . they left. >> the tories build two prisons since 2020. and what a process of building a third. so that's tot. let's see how many labour build in the next two years. >> it's not tosh at all. there are 700 cells. more criminals on july fifth available would rather have in prison someone who's tweeted something a bit fruity or someone who's actually been a violent criminal, who's now out after 40% of their sentence. i think what you're saying is dangerous, tosh, because these people are not tweeting , quote unquote, tweeting, quote unquote, something fruity. what they are doing too often is inciting violence, inciting the right to , violence, inciting the right to, let me say, the cops. you illustrate that keir starmer can't win. you're just determined to attack him because

by getting this fast track justice, they nipped those riots in the bud much faster than anyone, right? much faster than 2011. if he hadn't done that, you'd say, why is it going? what about leaves? you say, well, why can't he do it for everything else? >> stabbings in the book. why don't you ask? because, jake. >> what? well, let me. what about leeds? what about birmingham? i'm sorry. this is not even let me give you a real example that happened in burnley three days ago. a good friend of mine phoned the police in burnley and said fireworks are being set off three days in a row after midnight. that is a criminal offence in this country. the burnley police station told him we cannot intervene because they are being set off for an asian wedding and they refuse to intervene. that was three nights ago in burnley. it is happening up and down our country. people want the laws appued country. people want the laws applied equally. whoever you are, wherever you're from, whatever your background and i do and i do agree, and i am not just saying this because i've said it numerous times on this show before. >> some of the things that some people have been done for with the tweets and the facebook post

were wrong. there was someone who put they were bad. they should have gone to prison for it in my view. someone who tweeted an emoji of an ethnic minority and a gun or something. now i would expect someone to be prosecuted for that. absolutely. but my concern is that we now have some people just very ordinary, well meaning people in this country who go to tweet something who think, am i going to get arrested for this? and then they turn the news on and they see an 11 year old being stabbed in broad daylight in leicester square and think, hang on a minute, am i the problem with my tweets or actually, have we got a knife crime problem? and what's being done about that? but it's a good start to the show. thank you very much. coming up, nigel farage hits out at the prime minister doesn't say yes, he's done it again. nigel cannot be contained in his criticism of sir keir starmer. >> now starmer, by cracking down on that poses, i think, the biggest threat to free speech we've seen in our history. >> but as labour puts children now on the front line of it, free speech, war by giving them fake news lessons in school is farage right? we're going to get stuck into that with former education secretary dame andrea jenkyns. very soon. but next, an almighty row breaks out in a norfolk village over plans to fly the union flag with some

residents claiming it could scare people away. it's patriotism under attack in modern britain, political commentator alex armstrong goes to head with adviser pablo ohana. stay tuned

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. coming up, labour has unveiled plans to teach school kids how to spot misinformation. but should the government really be allowed to define what

constitutes extremist content? but first, is patriotism under attack in britain? it's time for the head to head . an almighty the head to head. an almighty row has broken out in the sleepy norfolk village of claxton over plans to fly the union jack flag outside the village hall. after some residents complained that it could scare people away . it could scare people away. indeed, parish council minutes revealed that one resident told local councillors that there is, quote, a fine line between patriotism and nationalism, while another objected on the grounds that the flag itself is divisive. now i can reveal that the parish council in claxton has voted in the past hour in favour of flying the flag outside the village hall, but it's certainly not the first time the union jack's been at the centre of a storm, is it? back in march, the owner of a chip shop in south london reacted with fury after he was ordered by the local council to remove a union jack mural from his wall during the euros this summer. london mayor sadiq khan banned cabbie drivers from flying the england flag. so

tonight i'm asking is patriotism once again under attack ? let me once again under attack? let me know your thoughts. gbnews.com/yoursay tweet me @gbnews. while you're there, go and vote in our poll. the results to follow shortly. but going head to head on this the political commentator alex armstrong and the political adviser pablo shapps. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. alex. is patriotism under attack in modern britain? >> oh, it absolutely is, patrick. and you know, you just pointed out two very good examples there. >> and we've seen more and more of them as the years go by. it seems, you know, that the thing for me, patrick, is that this comes to down education. we have now got socialists in government, which we expect to see more attacks on british culture as time goes by. but if they really actually understood what flying the british flag , what flying the british flag, flying the union flag actually meant, maybe they'd think twice before questioning it. i mean, this is the flag that was flown when we rolled into calais and into dover from dover, in world war two to defeat nazism across

europe. this is the flag that was flown to destroy slavery across the world. i mean, it's quite disgraceful and completely uncommon sense that people want to constantly attack it. i just can't get my head around it. patrick. all right. >> pablo, i do wonder if there's a crossover between people who would like to see the union flag not flown outside a parish hall in claxton, but would be perfectly happy to see the eu flag flown there instead . flag flown there instead. >> i think the problem that we have at the moment is that, you know, we've seen recently all these protests across the country where the extreme right has draped themselves in the union jack. so understandably, it can make people feel comfortable . i think actually comfortable. i think actually what needs to happen is we need to reclaim the flag from those people. so there isn't fear of exactly that. i'm a patriot. i love our country and i'm sick and tired of our flag being hijacked by these people . hijacked by these people. patriotism isn't exclusive to the right. you know, the union jack belongs to us all, not just people in the fringes. so i think if we can reclaim our flag, we can be in a place where actually everyone feels comfortable about it being

flown. and we should, because actually, the union jack is a symbol of real diversity, and the history of our country being really welcoming and tolerant and what makes our country so great. i think the problem is, is that some people feel uncomfortable because of the imagery that we see around it today, and that needs to be tackled first. and foremost. >> on that point of reclaiming the flag, though, i don't think it does much justice to britain when the union jack, the union flag, is taken down right before d—day commemorations, for example. so when we're talking about reclaiming it from the far right, for example, the air quotes bogeyman. we also need to talk about how the left tried to demolish it and get rid of it on their events. if the british flag, our flag is represents all of us and our values of freedom , of us and our values of freedom, democracy and liberty and has done forever. so if anything, the flag should be flown more at these events. in fact, they shun it. we even see images of people burning the flag and stamping on it. so, you know, the, the, the so—called far right at least draped themselves in it. the far left seem to destroy it. you know, we've got we've got to

reclaim it completely. >> also, pablo, i will say, you know, like every single country has like a far right or quotes nationalist movement or whatever. and pretty much every single one of those countries, they use their national flag for it. so it's not like we're alone in that. i just feel like we're the only country really out there at the moment where there's a large cohort of people in britain who just actively hate the flag, and i don't quite understand that. why is it pablo ? understand that. why is it pablo? >> i think i think what you touched on is really interesting, actually, because i do think that the united kingdom has a really tricky sort of relationship with its flag. and i've actually been doing an awful lot of research about this with one of my clients, because i'm trying to figure out why, for example, in the united states, they're really proud of their country. they're really proud of their flag . it's flown proud of their flag. it's flown absolutely everywhere. and the us and the uk have equally kind of tricky histories and current kind of issues with far right extremism. i think to your point that it extremism. i think to your point thatitis extremism. i think to your point that it is true that the right embraces that imagery and the kind of union jack and all this sort of stuff, much more than

the left does. and the left historically has been really difficult. has found it really difficult. has found it really difficult to engage with it. and we saw that in the eu referendum, as you know, i worked on that campaign, and my biggest issue from the very beginning is that we just surrendered that flag and we just went no, too difficult. and we didn't deal with it. and that was a really big problem because we ended up in a place where if you were on the right, you were like, right, i'm proud of my country, i love it. i'm going to use this flag. and if you're on the left or you sort of are the remain persuasion, you went, oh, actually, no, that's too just awkward. i'm not going to engage in that. and that is the big problem is that we need, you know, the union jack does and should unite us, not be something that is divided. >> i just say, i think i actually really think that that nobody else, no foreign person dislikes our flag. in fact, the opposite. there are entire shops in central london dedicated to selling stuff with the union jack on it. okay. and they do a roaring trade. whenever you see people coming over here, often they've got a t shirt with the union jack on it, or they'll get a bag with the union jack on it and go about their entire fashion chains abroad. people.

the union jack is actually, i would argue, one of the world's most loved flags. it's just us, like self—hating brits, alex. and i don't know where that comes from. it's even seeped through to a town hall in norfolk , for goodness sake. norfolk, for goodness sake. >> it's absolutely ridiculous when you say it out loud, isn't it? this is our country. i mean, we love britain and british people should love flying the flag as well. and your right, patrick. people all over the world, as i said before, see the union flag as a symbol of democracy, freedom, liberty and justice. well, maybe up until about a month ago when keir starmer took over. perhaps. but but you know , it is loved around but you know, it is loved around the world. it is just a small minority of self—hating brits that despise it. and they weaponize words like the far right to taint it. and therefore you get these fringe people. >> and this is a pablo final word to you on this. you know, throughout that general election campaign, i mean, keir starmer said a lot of stuff, by the way, that appears to not have materialised yet. but he put the union flag front and centre. he was always pictured in front of it. it was on loads of labour material and labour pamphlets, wasn't it? it's almost like he used it to get votes, you know,

when people see that. then. was there any indication whatsoever that keir starmer was in some way far right ? that keir starmer was in some way far right? no, of that keir starmer was in some way far right ? no, of course way far right? no, of course not. so why is there that mental link between people with the flag of this country and the fact that you must be some kind of frothing racist if you want to put it on a flagpole in your front lawn or at your local pansh front lawn or at your local parish hall. why is that? >> i think because there is a there's a historical link between the union jack and issues of racism that isn't to say that anyone that flies the union jack is racist. i have a union jack is racist. i have a union jack. i'm really proud a of our flag in our country. i think what keir starmer did was try to embrace more patriotism , try to embrace more patriotism, patriotic values, which is the right thing to do. and if we're going to long term solve this problem, we have to get to a place where everyone in our country is proud of it and they don't feel uncomfortable flying the flag because it has links to far right. i think what you're talking about is that the left people like keir starmer have issues sometimes with the union jack, because it is linked to the far right. if we can disconnect that and get to a place where we're all engaging with it, then great. that's a great place to be. >> but at the moment you've got people in their twitter bios,

right, with the palestinian flag, with the ukrainian flag, with the trans flag, with the gay pride flag, with all of that stuff. and yet the only one that they, they despise appears to be appears to be our flag. and then when you say something positive about the union flag, they call you a, well, a flag lover. to paraphrase, it appears to me from where i'm from, where i'm sitting, that they're the ones who love flags. they just love everyone. apart from our own. but, chaz, thank you very much. a good spirited debate, anyway. political commentator alex armstrong and political advisor pablo ohana . good stuff both. pablo ohana. good stuff both. who do you agree with? an almighty row has broken out in that norfolk village. i can't believe i'm reading this, but a norfolk village over plans to fly the union jack flag some residents claimed it would scare people away. it's patriotism under attack. susan on x says we fly the cross of saint george. most of the countries don't have this issue and they ignore the complaints too, right, susan? britain has spent too long on her knees grovelling to a minority. don't like our culture? then leave. okay. elliot on x says is flying our own flag in our own country is considered controversial and say

our whole country was under attack. never mind patriotism. it's hardly a revolutionary act to fly your own flag. well, it shouldn't be. spayed on x says you can fly any flag as long as it's not the union jack. not many shades of grey in the inbox there, but there we go. your verdict is now in. 97% of you agree that patriotism is under attack. 3% of you say that patriotism is not under attack. and can i also just say, i'm going to play you a little clip later on about some some completely random blokes, right, who were just out for a pint on saturday, who suddenly found themselves surrounded by people with drums and megaphones, calling them far right, racist nazis . you could not make it up nazis. you could not make it up the state of britain at the moment, but still, to come. do you remember when rachel reeves said this have inherited a projected overspend of £22 billion? i was only two weeks ago, and yet she's dishing out pay ago, and yet she's dishing out pay rises left, right and centre, isn't she? now she's planning on splashing your cash on a 4% minimum wage increase. so is the chancellor making tax rises inevitable? kelvin mackenzie gives his unfiltered analysis shortly, but first, as

labour unveils plans to teach schoolchildren how to spot extremist content and fake news online, is the government right to put kids on the front line of their free speech war? former education secretary dame andrea jenkyns gives me her she's live and she's

welcome back to patrick christys . welcome back to patrick christys. tonight. coming up is keir starmer railroading over the

concerns of ordinary brits with his plan to turbocharge house building. but first, the blame game for last week's violent riots has continued over the weekend, with ministers pointing the finger at misinformation and promising to crack down on social media companies. well, it's now emerged that that crackdown will spread to the classroom , obviously, with the classroom, obviously, with the education secretary, bridget phillipson , announcing that phillipson, announcing that school kids will be taught how to spot so—called extremist content and misinformation online. the school curriculum will be changed for kids as young as primary school age, and one example may include pupils analysing newspaper articles in engush analysing newspaper articles in english lessons to help them differentiate fabricated stories from so—called true reporting in computer lessons, they could be taught how to spot fake news websites by their design and joined now by the former education secretary dame andrea jenkyns. dame andrea, thank you very, very much. do you think this might be something along the lines of indoctrinating children? >> you took the words out of my

mouth, patrick. as usual, the left are trying to indoctrinate our children. but what i also think, actually, their attack on private schools. is it really a plan to push more people into the state school sector so they control the narrative? does it make you wonder? doesn't it? because one thing about the private schools is that they can, you know, to a certain degree control their agenda, the what they're taught. and i think they want to homogenise all children labour party do to have cardboard cut—outs of keir starmer. >> well, i mean, you know, obviously i imagine that keir starmer would, would somewhat push back on that. but i think that one of the concerns i would have is, you know, when you see major news events, i mean, covid is a great example of all of this, right, which is that certain things not all, by the way, before the usual times jump on me online, but certain things that people said were, you know, were wrong and were dangerous at the time have since turned out to be true . okay, and if you've to be true. okay, and if you've got teachers in charge of i mean, i don't know how this would look, dear andrew, you

know, would they just turn on bbc verify and tell the kids that that's the only truth and then turn on gb news, presumably, and tell them that this is all dangerous fabrication? >> i think you've i think you're probably right, actually, patrick. and don't forget, it was the bbc website that gave us, what is it, 100 genders, but but in all seriousness, though, patrick, when the last decade that i've been nearly a decade being an mp, visiting schools, you started seeing things change where the last few years where the, civil service was really getting a grip on, on, things like this, and you start seeing really the last 3 or 4 years where most of the library in schools is loaded up with blm and greta books, but it's now going to get far worse, isn't it? and to me, i mean, i've got a seven year old, as you know, patrick, i want to bring him up to value freedom, to actually challenge the narrative, just like his mum does, to not accept the status quo and what you're taughtin the status quo and what you're taught in schools . and i just taught in schools. and i just think it's getting ridiculous. this is clearly part of their plan. and i think it's going to

get worse, unfortunately. >> i mean, i suppose there could be an argument that you don't want children who are now online from a much younger age than certainly i ever was. and most people were. and that's it's almost an inevitability. now, unfortunately, you can't really keep kids off the internet, i suppose from a young age. you know, maybe they could be susceptible to, you know , things susceptible to, you know, things that are obviously untrue, but they might not realise it necessarily is. is there a case to be had for the idea that maybe we do need a bit of this? >> so i think that all children, have got to be taught about, searching responsibly and, and, and also looking, not taking things on face value. and it's the same with what you taught in schools. i mean, i'm very lucky. my schools. i mean, i'm very lucky. my parents brought me up to, you know, challenge narratives and be outspoken and find things out for yourself, you know, within levels of boundaries. of course . levels of boundaries. of course. and that's the way i'm bringing my little one up. and but when i was an education minister for that short four and a half

months, patrick, i saw with my own eyes what it was like in the civil service and the pushback i got. i mean, i was tasked with bringing the freedom of speech bill through, in universities, through parliament, and i wanted to meet jk rowling and people like this to and, you know, lecturers who'd lost their jobs, who's been no platformed . and i who's been no platformed. and i think that's wrong because, you know, our education outlets really should be thriving with with free speech. >> and i think it's a bit rich. right? | >> and i think it's a bit rich. right? i think it's a bit rich because, you know, there's been numerous times where i've covered stories on this show where there's been, you know, a big push to get the refugees welcomed brigade into schools from a very young age and use children to push that narrative . children to push that narrative. the lie there is that everyone who comes across the channel is a refugee. when we know that's not the case, i very much doubt that they're going to get children to, to, to fact check that are they? you mentioned there about 100 genders. so school will simultaneously tell people that their genitalia doesn't matter or exist, but

also teach them to look for the facts. you also get things like diversity is our greatest strength when some children sometimes might look around them and think, well, i do wonder if this actually is our greatest strength. you know ? so i reckon strength. you know? so i reckon there'll be a cherry picking of what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. and it comes down to whether or not we trust the teachers in every single aspect of this, to actually deliver those unfiltered facts. and do you feel as though there is a left wing bias when it comes to teachers? >> oh, without a doubt. i mean, iused >> oh, without a doubt. i mean, i used to, you know, teach in schools myself, and but it comes from the top of the civil service, what they push out there and also if we look back at some of the ministers that we've had over the years, you know, our longest serving schools minister, he was really pushing the whole trans, you know, identity thing, which i don't care what people do as an adults, but what they taught in school matters to me. you know , school matters to me. you know, and he was pushing that from , and he was pushing that from, you know, in the coalition. so i think that really i want to see

ministers who will challenge things, but that ain't going to happen under a labour government. unfortunately, no. >> i mean, another example would be masking children during covid. now, i know that there's plenty of people out there who probably still think that that was the right thing to do, and they are perfectly entitled to their view, you know? fine. i do think that if we had another pandemic similar to covid, again , pandemic similar to covid, again, i would be very unlikely. i find it very unlikely that we would mask kids up again in schools. but at the time, if anyone had deviated away from the idea that we needed to mask four and five year olds, i think there would have been i mean, people lost jobs over that, right? so this is my concern with it. you know, when you look oh, at, we're going to be teaching fake, you know, how to spot fake news in schools. and you think, well, you know what's fake news one day turns out to be you know the truth, another day doesn't it? but we're going to have to leave it there, i'm afraid. but can i just say a massive thank you for coming on? it's been great to have you on the show and good luck with everything going forward. all right. so steve jenkins there, former education minister. so speaking about the

policy, the current education secretary bridget phillipson, said it's more important than ever that we give young people the knowledge and skills to be able to challenge what they see online. that's why our curriculum review will develop plans to embed critical skills in lessons to arm our children against disinformation, fake news and putrid conspiracy theories awash on social media. our renewed curriculum will always put high and rising standards in core subjects . standards in core subjects. that's non—negotiable. now, some people might think that's quite sinister, but we'll have to wait and see how it pans out. coming up after more than 700 migrants arrived in 11 small boats in one day yesterday, the highest since labour came to power. are they now deliberately trying to shut down the immigration debate? i'll tackle that at ten plus. find out why a group of random men were called racist . men were called racist. bollocks. get ready for the labour land grab. councils are set to be given powers to forcibly buy green belt land for low prices as part of the government's house building bonanza. no land and high taxes

so -- so we'll start socialist revolution. fail. kelvin mackenzie's on

next. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now, angela rayner's turbocharged house building scheme is set to turn into a labour land grab. apparently that's because councils are set to be given powers to buy land off green belt landowners through compulsory purchase orders that would force them to sell at a low price. if the site could host quality housing, apparently in the public interest . housing minister and interest. housing minister and deputy pm rayner previously admitted that her plan to build 1.5 million homes by 2030 would be controversial. >> today , i am setting out >> today, i am setting out a radical plan to not only get the homes we desperately need, but also drive the growth, create jobs and breathe life back into towns and cities . we are towns and cities. we are ambitious and what i say won't

be without controversy, but this is urgent . is urgent. >> so, calvin, it appears as though labour are going to be looking at a field around the back of your house and thinking if you own that field, then they should own it instead. and then giving you a cut price for it. >> yes, it's a disgrace, isn't it? i mean, i presume what it would be is that they'll be stealing land of farmers, many of whom have had that land in their families for hundreds of years . their families for hundreds of years. right. and what their families for hundreds of years . right. and what they're years. right. and what they're claiming, of course, is that there are there are other pieces of land that they might that they might be that have been bought by, quote , speculators. bought by, quote, speculators. honestly, i'd like to have proof of that. right. i'd like to have proof of that. there won't be any proof once again. and the other aspect, of course, is that when the builders build it, will they be building the houses at a significant discount for the pnce? significant discount for the price? right? or will they just be building for the same amount of money, you know, honestly. and then we have 40 or 45% of those homes go to social housing. the people that go in there, will they be paying

anything like the going rent? will they ever pay the going rent, social housing, all these housing, housing societies, they do one thing. once you go in there at say 300 a month, 400 a month for a 2 or 3 bedroom flat, you don't have to pay any more for the whole time that you're there, right? you don't. so, so you win the pools. actually, you do rather well at work . some do rather well at work. some money comes to you via a will or something like that. i'm afraid. oh no, we're not going to put your money up. we are going to keep it at, at a subsidised and it is the people that are watching this show tonight that will be paying, paying the price for this. >> labour could look at the fact that somebody just happens to own something. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and, and then say it's in the pubuc >> and, and then say it's in the public interest. correct. that the state owns that and we're going to give you this price for it. and you have to take and if you don't like it, by the way, there is nothing you can do. >> and this is what will happen with with capital gains tax as well. so people have taken the big risk with their money and finally, unbelievably, by the way, this is like 1 in 100. you finally with a business hit hit

the jackpot. thanks very much. they say i'll tell you what, instead of you being given a really low profit drive so you can high profit drive so you can make it, they say, no, we're going to take that off you and we're going to give it to other people. this constant idea that we're going to take from you to give to somebody else will be fine. if everybody else was skinned, their not skinned as you all know from that, the point about what minimum pay is going up to, well, let's talk about that. >> but first, the ministry of housing, communities and local government spokesperson said we will reform the outdated compulsory purchase process to remove inflated values of land and ensure compensation paid to landowners is fair but not excessive. this is part of our plan to get britain building again and deliver the homes, the country. it's i'm going to we're going to have to whiz it on. but i mean that will anger. >> it's not in it's not inflated. it is the price of land that is all it is. yeah. >> reeves is set to sign off now on an above inflation rise in minimum wage to almost £12 an houn minimum wage to almost £12 an

hour, despite previously warning of a black hole in the public finances. >> i'm not talking about the state of public services in the future, like the crisis in our prisons, which they have left for us to fix. i am talking about the money that they were already spending this year and had no ability to pay, for which they hid from the country . they they hid from the country. they had exhausted the reserve, and they knew that , but nobody else they knew that, but nobody else did. yeah, yet they ducked the difficult decisions. they put party before country. yeah. and they continued . and they they continued. and they continued to make unfunded commitments after unfunded commitment, knowing that the money was not there . money was not there. >> so, kelvin, there's a financial black hole. it's all the tories fault. but we've got money for junior doctors. we've got money for everyone in the pubuc got money for everyone in the public sector probably. and now there's an above inflation minimum wage pay rise. >> yes . it's minimum wage pay rise. >> yes. it's madness. minimum wage pay rise. >> yes . it's madness. look, minimum wage pay rise. >> yes. it's madness. look, i'm not i'm not against the very poor getting, getting earning some decent money. i mean, it'd be ridiculous. 4% is wrong if it's 2% inflation. one after

all, they got 10% last year. they went to 1144. if it goes up to nearly £12, that means the average low paid worker will be on 25,000 a year. right? i'd like to see that reflected in their council. council rents as well. so everything is going up from the bottom. where is that money coming from? it's all coming from the middle classes who pay tax. 50% of our country doesn't pay tax anymore. where doesn't pay tax anymore. where does she think this money is ? does she think this money is? where is there a magic money tree? there appears to be under laboun tree? there appears to be under labour. you know, we need a penod. labour. you know, we need a period . i'm not against this. period. i'm not against this. balancing the books. fantastic. let's balance the books. but don't keep stealing off one particular area of our society. why don't you just. you talk about growth. how are you going to get growth if nobody's got any money? how is that going to work? they want to steal . she's work? they want to steal. she's known in the online world as rachel thieves, and that is i honestly, i think it is a very, very clever name for her. right. >> okay. well well i mean, look,

she will be saying, well this is just part of their ideology. this is the right thing for the country that the tories knackered the finances and that people right at the lower end or minimum wage have been hit too hard for too long. >> you know, i do understand that in my in my wider family. yeah, there are people on, on minimum wage and it's the 10% that the tories gave was fantastic. we don't need to do it two years running okay. >> all right. well well there we go kelvin. thank you very much kelvin mackenzie, the former editor of the sun. so next, after more than 700 illegal migrants arrived on 11 small boats in one day, yesterday is starmer using these far right riots now to shut down far right riots now to shut down far right riots to shut down the immigration debate? i'm going to tackle that next and deliver the very first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages for you. i think there is a massive, massive concern here now that as labour scatter, these people around the country, put them in some of the housing on the green belt that we were just talking about, maybe, dare i say it, ramp up your tax bills as well. and people all over the country recognise that they might not want this and they want to go on

social media to say, shall we organise a little protest about it all? hang on a minute. will you be too scared to do that because you might end up finding yourself in prison? stay tuned . yourself in prison? stay tuned. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good evening. welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you from the met office. clear skies for many tonight will make for good viewing conditions of the meteor shower. it's going to be a fresher night as well compared to last night, but rain will spread into western areas such as this area of low pressure developing out to the west will drag in the next weather front. this cold front, though still clearing across the far southeast through this evening, southeast through this evening, so still a risk of some thundery downpours at least at first this evening. but then it will turn much drier and clearer across the whole of the uk. as i said, good viewing conditions for the meteor shower. for many of us, while it's dark temperatures falling away a little lower than last night, quite widely 12 to 14 degrees in towns and cities

still a little bit hotter and more humid across the south and east. however, now the breeze is going to pick up across western coasts through tuesday morning. we could see some fairly heavy outbreaks of rain at first across parts of west wales southwest england spreading into northern ireland and western areas of scotland as well. eastern areas, though, are bright and sunny, start to the day. temperatures around 15 or 16 degrees, with lighter winds feeling quite pleasant in that sunshine. first thing, however, the winds will start to pick up across northwestern areas around this area of low pressure , this area of low pressure, western scotland in particular, seeing a pretty breezy afternoon and this wet weather will push further inland quite slowly, but it will continue to bring cloudier skies to much of wales, southwest england, northern england, much of scotland too, turning brighter behind it across northern ireland and plenty of sunshine through a lot of the day across eastern areas of the day across eastern areas of england. and here, temperatures still climbing towards the high 20s, so still a pretty warm day across eastern areas of england tomorrow. that wet weather will linger across eastern areas of england, though

through wednesday morning and elsewhere it will be a much dner elsewhere it will be a much drier and brighter day. still feeling fairly pleasant in the sunshine, but nowhere near as warm as it is at the moment. and then, looking ahead to thursday, it looks like a more widely wetter day. however, the sunshine is set to return for friday. temperatures around average for the rest of the week looks like things are heating up . looks like things are heating up. >> boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

>> it's 10 pm. i'm patrick christys tonight . welcome . 700 christys tonight. welcome. 700 illegal immigrants came across the channel yesterday . rachel the channel yesterday. rachel reeves said that there would be riots if we didn't sort out immigration. >> now expecting substantive sentencing before the end of

this week. >> that should send a very powerful message to anybody involved, either directly or online. >> instalment now trying to scare you into silence. also being the 1000 on my waiting and aj rmt labour's islamophobia definition. is it a blasphemy law by the back door . and. definition. is it a blasphemy law by the back door. and. a group of random football fans were called far right racist fascists and lord president white, the lord justice clerk white, every high court judge white blackmailed with money go yourself. humza yousaf threatens to take elon musk to court. i'm not sure it'll end well for him. i've got all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages with my panel express columnist carole malone, journalist benjamin butterworth and ex—chairman of

the tory party, sir jake berry. oh, and what did this guy do wrong ? wrong? >> bloody warm innit? >> bloody warm innit? >> get ready britain, here we go . >> get ready britain, here we go. labour predicted the riots . next. >> very good evening to you. just coming up to 1002 patrick. up just coming up to 1002 patrick. up next. first though, a look at the headlines. and the prime minister has urged iran to refrain from attacking israel in a direct call with the iranian president tonight, speaking on the phone, sir keir starmer warned of a serious risk of miscalculation if war was to break out in the region. and that call follows joint statements from western leaders today, including joe biden and

emmanuel macron, urging de—escalation in the middle east. the us has now increased its presence there over fears that tehran could attack israel as soon as this week . here, a as soon as this week. here, a man has been arrested in leicester square in central london after two people, including an 11 year old girl, were stabbed earlier. the child and her 34 year old mother were taken to hospital, but their injuries aren't thought to be life threatening. police say the person that they have detained is the only suspect, and that there is no suggestion it was terror related in greater manchester, two people have been arrested after a man died falling from a fourth floor balcony. the 37 year old man and a 40 year old woman are being questioned on suspicion of murder in salford . more than murder in salford. more than 18,000 migrants have crossed the engush 18,000 migrants have crossed the english channel so far this yeah english channel so far this year. that's afterjust over 700 year. that's after just over 700 people crossed on sunday. the highest number on a single day since sir keir starmer became prime minister a 12 year old

child has become the youngest person to be charged over the riots that broke out in recent weeks, after three girls were killed in southport. the boy, who can't be named, is accused of being involved in violent disorder in the merseyside town and rioters could serve less time behind bars in a bid to cut prison overcrowding. tonight, the government's confirmed those involved in recent unrest will not be excluded from its plans to release some inmates after serving 40% of their sentence. it comes after the prime minister, sir keir starmer, had promised repeatedly that those involved in recent unrest would, he said, face the full force of the law. the conservatives are now calling for an urgent review to make sure that tough sentences are implemented for offenders . donald trump has offenders. donald trump has returned to social media platform x today ahead of a live interview with owner elon musk later tonight. the former us president posted on the network for the first time in a year, promoting his claim that the four criminal prosecutions he's facing are politically

motivated. well, that interview with elon musk is expected to give trump a chance to regain the spotlight as his campaign is struggling with vice president kamala harris closing the gap. in recent opinion polls. and the event on musk's platform aims to reach a broader audience. though past broadcasts on x have faced some technical issues . past broadcasts on x have faced some technical issues. in sport, britain's most successful diver, tom daley, has today announced he's retiring. he won five olympic medals, including a gold, three bronzes and a silver most recently in the paris games . most recently in the paris games. and finally, art lovers were surprised in london today as banksy revealed his latest artwork is the eighth animal themed piece. the elusive street artist has claimed so far in as many days, spray painted behind a parked car and a skip in charlton, the artwork sparked debate after appearing without any details on banksy's instagram, some fans speculated the rhino could relate to recent riots and racist attacks. others

suggested it reflected broader themes of war or climate change. frequent subjects in banksy's previous works. it's up to you to decide. i suppose those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sam francis. 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. >> welcome along. so yesterday was the worst day in the channel since sir keir starmer took over 703 illegal migrants in 11 boats before the election. we were told about smashing the gangs and about a new border command or whatever they're calling it. we are yet to hear anything about those things since, aren't we? there have been protests , we? there have been protests, riots. there are millions of people who are angry and immigration is now the top issue facing the country for most people, according to the latest

yougov polling. but the now chancellor, rachel reeves, knew we'd end up here in 2016. she said riots could sweep britain if immigration is not curbed after brexit. labour grandee former labour minister dame margaret hodge has just said we're all at fault, that we've always been too frightened to talk about immigration. they all know it, we all know it and yet we've got silence from downing street now this could be why. so a bbc reporter revealed that sir keir starmer didn't want to mention immigration as a cause of the protests in case people thought he was suggesting the unrest was justified. well, i have another theory. sir keir starmer knows what's coming . starmer knows what's coming. thousands more coming across the channel. every single one of them will have the chance to claim asylum . labour has claim asylum. labour has scrapped the british homes for british workers scheme, so brits will not be prioritised for what little social housing stock there is. the 1.5 million new homes labour wants to build . homes labour wants to build. local councils will be given compulsory purchase powers to buy green belt land cheaply, and

a lot of those things will have to be social housing. who is going to live in that housing? and he's created a situation now where people who might want to demonstrate against that happening in their local area , happening in their local area, or might want to complain about it on social media, now worry that they're going to be called far right, arrested and potentially put in prison . i potentially put in prison. i wonder whether instead of deaung wonder whether instead of dealing with illegal immigration, sir keir starmer wants to scare people into staying silent about it. i don't think he'll win that fight, but let's get the thoughts of my panel now. his daily express columnist carole malone. i'm also joined by journalist and broadcaster benjamin butterworth, former chairman of the tory party. it's sir jake berry and yeah, carole, i'll start with you on this. when you look at what's coming down the track here. so social housing brits no longer being a priority for that. new developments, a lot of that being social housing, these thousands, hundreds of thousands of people being allowed to claim asylum when previously they wouldn't have been. do you think he knows

what's coming and he's trying to clamp down on social media now to scare people into not complaining about it ? yes. complaining about it? yes. >> he must know what's coming. my >> he must know what's coming. my god, you know, you just have to read the papers over the past two weeks to know what's coming. however, i don't think that's the problem. i think the problem with him and a lot of people in the labour party, they don't see immigration as a problem. they, they, you know, when starmer was dpp, he said quite clearly that he thought much of immigration law was racist and he thinks that attacking immigrants is racist. so i think that is the problem that we have. he doesn't say he doesn't see that it's going to be a problem. but but i think, you know, he you know, he was very fond of calling boris johnson a liar. but in the run up to election, he promised us all that he had a plan ready to 90, all that he had a plan ready to go, plan to deal with immigration and a plan to deal with stopping the boats. we see now. he has no plan whatsoever. there's no smashing the gangs. robert jenrick came up with a really interesting figure today, and he was talking about what every immigrant will cost in a lifetime to this country. 400 grand per person. now, you know , grand per person. now, you know, they're working on the fact that it's 20 odd grand a year to keep

an immigrant currently. >> so is that an illegal immigrant or a legal immigrant? >> that's that is that is any immigrant that you have to house and feed and clothe? so i'm guessing the illegal ones. so, you know, we had 700 this weekend. all of those people have to be fed, clothed, housed. they have to be given spending money. they have to they get free nhs care, dental care. so all of that tots up and they call it a social wage. it's about 20 odd grand a year. so all of this is costing a fortune to the british taxpayer. and i think this is why they get cross. and if starmer doesn't realise that's what's coming down the line, he shouldn't be where he is . where he is. >> benjamin, i do wonder whether or not people now are going to be scared to post something on, you know, your classic, well—meaning local facebook group. you know, where it's like, oh, i don't actually particularly want this migrant hotel or this massive development, you know, around the corner from my house. so i'm a bit concerned. shall we do something like stand outside with placards ? right. and then with placards? right. and then all of a sudden, you've been done for trying to incite some hatred towards that group of people or inciting some violence against that, that block. i wonder if it's quite calculated

this by sir keir. >> no, i think i think what you're saying is dangerous because confronting people that are inciting violence or inciting hatred, things that have been illegal in this country for about 40 years have been on the statute book, whether that is on twitter or a local facebook group, or whether it's in the street shouting at a muslim passing by, it is unacceptable . and i don't unacceptable. and i don't understand how you can sit there and say that somehow we shouldn't be clamping down on these crimes because they're on these crimes because they're on the internet. well, we have just we should be clamping down on genuine crimes, serious crime on the streets. >> do you think we should be clamping down on genuine crimes? but there is a there is a pervading thing that happens here, which is that now that ordinary , well—meaning people ordinary, well—meaning people will be worried about, do i post on social media that i'm not particularly happy about housing development? that's going to be 45% social housing. that really, given the direction of travel here, is probably going to include quite a few people who might have just arrived to this country in my sleepy little village. >> that's wrong. if you don't have a right to remain in the uk, then you're not eligible for social housing. whether it's

under suggested changes around angela rayners or not people. that's wrong. secondly, the number of people, the number, the rate of immigrants that are in full time work and paying taxes is higher than the rate of british born. so i'm sorry, carol, but we as a country would be considerably poorer if we didn't have all the taxes from the working age people coming here. >> so, so labour. jake labour said in 2016. rachel reeves said in 2016 there will be riots if we don't sort out immigration. we didn't sort immigration. now, to be fair, that was that was the tories fault, okay, because labour have just got in. but it's not as if this can be a shock to them can it. >> no. and just to pick up on that point, you're right. the conservatives didn't get a grip of this and we have our share of blame. i'm not running away from that. i think the problem we've got with the labour government is there's no real opposition. where is rishi sunak? well, he's in california. yeah. yeah. so there's no real opposition. they have a massive majority. it is actually the closest thing to an elected dictatorship that this country has ever known, because there's no real power of the opposition to defeat any government. with a majority of

170,170. i beg your pardon ? weak 170,170. i beg your pardon? weak oppositions create bad governments. and that's what i think keir starmer is falling into. probably unintended a trap of he has. so we have so much power that he feels that he can subjugate the british people with this sort of, culture of fear that if you mention immigration, you're in some way racist. and the thing i would mention just to, i think, let me finish, i think i would mention, which i think is particularly pernicious about this judges this week have said that people will be prosecuted and go to prison for being in the streets. that's what these riots . that's that's what these riots. that's what the judge has said. he said, if you attended, even if even if you were just a spectator, if you came out of your house, now, what's all this going on? i'll have a look what's going on outside. you could potentially be prosecuted. thatis could potentially be prosecuted. that is creating a culture of fear that is designed to stop people challenging the government legitimately on this, this culture of fear business. >> all right . you know, there's >> all right. you know, there's a ridiculous thing that was going around last week when the

supposed 100 far right rioters was supposed to be taking place. so places around the country that i know well that, you know well, as well where they were boarding places up, gps were shutting early. children were being told to leave school early. it's a place that i grew up in. i've never met a nazi. i've never met a nazi there. and somehow, because of what was going around on social media, this far right nazi threat, they were going to come out of the sky and they were going to batter the place to pieces. all right. and now when people in that same area are mark my words, when we start seeing these new housing developments p0p up these new housing developments pop up and we start seeing people being put in, those who have only just come to this country or it's social housing, etc, people will feel afraid. now, i fear under labour to say anything about that because they will be bracketed as they are. >> also what they all have to know. >> we all have to hammer the message home that it's not far right, and it's not xenophobic to have genuine concerns about the uncontrolled numbers coming into this country, not just uncontrolled, but unvetted. and, you know, the security services have said quite clearly they're concerned about the numbers of people coming in from muslim countries that are not vetted.

now, that is terrifying for us. and we can't be frightened to talk about that until they are, because they might belong to a certain religion. we have to talk. >> currently, benjamin, we are importing both sides of the sudanese civil war. okay, we did an exclusive on this at 9:00 pm last week. all right. we've got people from the north and south of sudan who have got a pitch battle going on in calais, both groups of whom want to come here on boats. i've got a problem with that. i think most people would have a problem with that, but it feels as though at the moment you can't call that out. in case you might be called a racist, the vast majority of people coming into the country are legal migrants with a job in are legal migrants with a job in a very straightforward fashion. >> that's 700,000 of them. >> that's 700,000 of them. >> they're not going to be the ones. lots of them. >> they're not the only ones, lots of them from hong kong and ukraine who are fairly skilled. but i just wanted to point out that jake berry just had the audacity to sit there and say, we're as near to an elective dictatorship we've ever had, a prime minister who thinks he can do whatever he wants. the last parliament prorogued parliament so that it couldn't sit so there could be a vote on nothing. you supported that. >> there's a difference between a majority of 80 and a majority

of 170. you've got a prime minister doing what he wants from a bloke that was chairman of the party that literally shut down parliament. >> and so be a bit realistic about what your own lot did, which was terrifying and unnecessary. >> well, you know what, as you've asked me, i'll answer that very directly. in my view, the government was absolutely right to prorogue parliament to try and deliver brexit because the entirety of the british establishment and the opposition party was trying to frustrate brexit. and if you want to see how deep seated, how deep you can't do as it happens, i was there. so let me tell you what it was actually like rather than just sort of speculation. it tells you how deep seated the resistance to delivering the will of the british people was, that you had judicial activism from the judges that overturned in my view, the completely legitimate use of royal prerogative. i am a lawyer. i wasn't sat in that courtroom . i wasn't sat in that courtroom. i actually think it was more to do with judicial activism and the state wanted to stop brexit than the law itself. >> doesn't it feel a bit like brexit right now, where people are ? it was the same during

are? it was the same during brexit. people were afraid to speak out about immigration for fear he never stopped speaking out and yes, they did stop speaking out. people were this is just this is just codswallop. and now since brexit, we feel more able. and now starmer is trying to put this. >> you get wall to wall coverage of white people making pseudo racist comments. twitter is full of it. i can't escape it. the idea that we don't talk about immigration in this country, we talk about, well, what is the difference between not talking now about him trying to close it down, discussion down about immigration?! down, discussion down about immigration? i tell you what, nobody has done more to undermine legitimate debates about immigration than these thugs in the last two weeks and the people that have supported them, which includes just the white thugs, thugs of any description. but it's the it's the people you're talking about saying, well, they have a legitimate root cause . these legitimate root cause. these people do not have a legitimate cause. let's talk about labour's care more about just in greggs. but they're not. they ain't looting greggs because of the sudanese civil war. >> patrick, can i just can i just say that that's a really good example, because there is a real big difference between the kind of people who don't

necessarily want a migrant hotel at the end of their road, and a group of people who want to burn that down. right? yeah >> and i'm concerned, and i'm no root cause of what's going on in recent weeks. >> no, no, i'm saying that i think i worry that we have a prime minister now that is creating a situation whereby those ordinary people, it the same. >> yeah, i am concerned if someone opened a migrant hotel at the end of my street, like all your gb news viewers, i would be worried about that. that isn't the same thing as being a violent thug and wanting to firebomb. i think we're in wild agreement. what i'd also say is that at the counter far right protests, there's also been a lot of violence as well. so what is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. and what i want to see are the police making as many arrests for the counter protests as they have been for these appalling far right individuals. >> and all of that is that starmer does not want to kerb immigration. it's not a it's not a priority for him. >> he doesn't say if he were to say that this was about immigration, that would be giving legitimacy to thugs. >> his own call me conservative,

but i think you should be tough on crime. margaret hodge today. labour lock him up. all right. it's a good point. >> margaret hodge today said absolutely that labour was scared to talk about immigration, but not for the reasons. >> well this is interesting. >> well this is interesting. >> so look thank you very, very much. another lively start to an hour coming up i'll bring you the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. plus what did this man do wrong . bloody warm, isn't it? wrong. bloody warm, isn't it? reveal all but next, as reports emerged that labour is considering adopting a new controversial islamophobia definition that could stifle legitimate criticism of islam. is this a back door into blasphemy law? labour mp khalid mahmood

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now, labour has been warned against introducing a so—called blasphemy law by the back door by adopting an official definition of islamophobia in the wake of everything we've been seeing the last few weeks. so sir keir starmer and angela rayner are reportedly weighing up a range of views , and one mooted of views, and one mooted definition of islamophobia could be this all right, so this is this is supposedly what it could be. all right. islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of muslimness or perceived muslimness. well, it's quite vague, though , isn't it? quite vague, though, isn't it? but critics have warned that it could stifle free speech and the

legitimate criticism at times of islam. and muslim campaigner fiyaz mughal warned that it would curtail freedoms and, quote, give oxygen to the far right . well, there's quite a lot right. well, there's quite a lot to unpack here, so i'm joined now by former labour mp khalid mahmood. khalid, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. so what do you make of the idea that we need some kind of definition of islamophobia? what are your thoughts ? are your thoughts? >> well thank you, patrick, first of all, i think what sir keir starmer and angela rayner are trying to do is the right thing. there does need to be protection for muslims, in terms of muslim religious hate, not blasphemy . where you are also, blasphemy. where you are also, you are right, is the fact that the definition that currently exists is totally not fit for purpose? what is muslimness? i don't have a beard , i don't wear don't have a beard, i don't wear a headgear, or i don't wear that sort of religious clothing. so am i a muslim ? am sort of religious clothing. so am i a muslim ?am i sort of religious clothing. so am i a muslim ? am i perceived as am i a muslim? am i perceived as am i a muslim? am i perceived as a muslim? no. what the issue of

protecting muslims needs to have in it is the issue of direct religious hate, professional and services, employment . those sort services, employment. those sort of issues should be already laws against that though. >> that's the thing, right? they're not i mean, there are there are laws against someone who discriminates someone in the workplace based on their skin colour or ethnicity or whatever. right. there are laws against someone walking up to someone else in the street and shouting a vile racist slur at them. so why do we need this ? why do we need this? >> there are laws but doesn't curve the issue of religion. you can do it under race, which is something that i've supported for a long time. but the current definition doesn't do that. so until we get the labour party unden until we get the labour party under, understanding and particularly the appg on muslim british appg on muslims who tried to push this for the last eight years. have we got anywhere because they just want to stick to the definition they've got and not actually look at how it can be engaged

into law and digital legislation do this. so currently we won't be able to do that because we haven't got the right definition to be able to do that. all right. >> look i'm going to play what is now one of the most famous incidents. unfortunately, that has happened recently. this is a clip outside batley grammar school where some people there were calling for a teacher to be arrested, etc. because he showed arrested, etc. because he showed a picture of the prophet muhammad to some children. so here's a little clip of it. >> the incident from monday 22nd of march must also be investigated from a criminal perspective. yes, given that it was a clear attempt to stir up religious hatred , we also use religious hatred, we also use this opportunity to call upon the entire british muslim community to review the materials being taught in their children's schools, right. >> okay, so not that i would ever do this because i've never particularly felt the need, believe it or not. but if i decided that i wanted to show a picture of the prophet muhammad to some kids under this new islamophobia law, would i now be a criminal? >> well, we haven't defined it . >> well, we haven't defined it. that's my problem at the moment

is until the definition is resolved in terms of what is muslim hate, how does it affect an individual ? this should be an individual? this should be hate about an individual or individuals, a group of people, individuals, a group of people, in relating to, discrimination as muslims . so that's what is as muslims. so that's what is should look at similar to what anti—semitism does. but this definition is just so bland. it doesn't. and that's where you and a lot of other people are. right. is that because this definition of muslimness doesn't include anybody? so those are the people could then say, yes, under this we can do this. but unless any legislation that we produce and we have produced in parliament has to have clear guidelines as to what can be prosecuted and what cannot. and at the moment, we're not in that position to do so. i mean, there are entire comedy routines based on taking the mick out of christianity. >> there are at west end shows that take the mick out of christianity. it's quite a common thing , isn't it? but i common thing, isn't it? but i think that if you introduce a

specific islamophobia law and it sounds anything like this kind of loose draft that we've got here, you wouldn't even be able to joke about islam , would you? to joke about islam, would you? >> well, this is not this is not a definition that we should be working on, and certainly i think if we want to go ahead, which we should do in order to provide proper protection for muslims, then we have to go back to the drawing table. >> should someone be able to joke about islam, should someone be able to tell a joke about islam? yes yes, of course we have a lot of muslim comedians that do that, and are able to quite able to do that. >> and that's not an issue. the issue here really should be if we want to prosecute somebody , we want to prosecute somebody, then it's got to be within guidelines that can be set in legislation, and that has to be defined in legislation, because you don't want the judges to try and interpret something, because that leads to all sorts of places . so i think that's what's places. so i think that's what's wrong at the moment, is that we haven't got a real legislation or a real guideline towards legislation, which the appg on

british muslims has been trying to do and have not succeeded because they don't really want to look at that. >> the cynic in me, right, might say that there was big problems with certain aspects of the british muslim community and the labour party at the last election, and that keir starmer was presented with a list of demands by a group called the muslim .co.uk. and one of those demands was to actually introduce an islamophobia definition, a little bit like the one that i've actually read out to you. there and that he might think that it's politically good for him to give in to that demand. do you think there might be some truth to that? >> well, no, i don't think there is. i think zakia is very firm on this. look, i was one of the casualties of muslim vote, and i'm still standing against it. my i'm still standing against it. my principles are true that we should present and represent the muslim community in a rightful manner. not to be blackmailed, not to be harassed into this. we should stand firm and deal with the legislation, as we should do in terms of our court system, our legislation system that is

very clear. and unless we have clear definitions about it, we should not move forward. >> all right. can i just say a massive thank you for coming on the show tonight? it's been really insightful stuff. so thank you. take care. all right. it's time to meet the former labour mp. now a government spokesman said we will take into account a range of views and outline any updates on the government's position in relation to this in due course. so watch this space, don't we? coming up, find out why this group of completely random men were wrongly branded as far right racists at the weekend ? right racists at the weekend? for next, i bring you very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front

welcome back to patrick christys . welcome back to patrick christys. tonight i have got the very first of tomorrow's front pages for you. so let's do it. let's start with the metro. they knew for three years he was a danger. a doctor warned that calocane would end up killing. this is

the nottingham triple killer valdo calocane, who, by the way , valdo calocane, who, by the way, is not in prison. he's got a permanent hospital order. so, yeah, there we go. that story just keeps getting worse . the just keeps getting worse. the independent failures at nhs hospital that left triple killer free. the trust responsible for paranoid schizophrenic nottingham knife attacker was repeatedly warned about poor care and saw patient deaths almost triple in the decade before his stabbing spree. let's go to the i uk plan to evacuate british nationals in israel if iran triggers war uk officials draw up plans to airlift british nationals from across the middle east if iran retaliation on israel triggers a wider regional conflict, keir starmer in the last hour has issued a statement saying he's very concerned about what's going on in the middle east. obviously we'll fill you in if there is indeed any breaking news there. the daily express james cleverly slams the failure to halt crossings as 703 migrants arrive in a single day . migrants arrive in a single day. get a grip and fast labour is

doing nothing to stop the boats, he says. yeah, i mean, okay, the problem is that, you know, this, all this all started and then got worse under the tories, didn't it? but but it would be nice if it stopped anyway, wouldn't it? so there we go. right. i'm joined by my wonderful panel and we're going to whizz you through a story that actually i think a lot of people have been talking about. so it looks like all out war between elon musk and humza yousaf after the owner of x accused the former scottish minister of being , quote, minister of being, quote, a supen minister of being, quote, a super, super racist after yousef accused musk of being, quote, one of the most dangerous men on the planet. the billionaire hit back on x and he's dead. humza yousaf to sue him, saying legal discovery will show that. however big a racist he's been in public communications , he's in public communications, he's vastly worse in private communications. now, i don't know exactly what elon musk meant there. when i read that i tookit meant there. when i read that i took it to mean that elon musk

has maybe read humza yousaf's direct messages , or some form of direct messages, or some form of private communication, or some form of private communication, and therefore has a record of that. and maybe humza yousaf has said something pretty fruity in that and should. elon musk really be doing that? carol. >> well, the bottom line is no he shouldn't, but but it's his train set. and if i own the train set. and if i own the train set. and if i own the train set and i and this guy was having a go at me, i would use what i needed to do to get him down. the thing is, you know, this all started back in 2020 when yousef stood up in the in the parliament in scotland and said that, how disgraceful it was that, you know, everyone in the parliament was white, every police chief was white, everyone in government was white. and that's a very good reason for that's a very good reason for that in scotland, because 95.4% of the people are white. so that's kind of why it happened. and, you know, so whatever, whatever else you know, yousef is you can't underestimate the fact that what he is first and foremost is, is an idiot. and to take on the world's richest man

and to try and to say he's because his lawyers have been in touch with moscow already. he's a fool. the man is a fool. he's got to stop it, because musk will destroy him and take great pleasure in doing so. >> well, benjamin humza yousaf would obviously deny and quite in very strong terms. i imagine that he is a racist, let alone a supen that he is a racist, let alone a super, super racist as i think elon musk called him. did you do you think he might be racist? >> no, i think expressing controversial views on race are quite different to being a racist . and they were racist. and they were intelligently put. what i think is terrifying is the behaviour of elon musk, who seems to be taking upon himself to spend $40 million a month he's donating to donald trump, to according reports. and the idea that he's using the public square that is twitter as a means for campaigning is not what it's for, you know, carol says it's his train set, but what is it for? >> hang on. i daresay he wants with it. i dare say when you're at home, you don't think bt is listening to your phone calls to your mates, do you? but it wouldn't surprise me if it's the equivalent of that. >> but it really was surprising.

>> but it really was surprising. >> but it really was surprising. >> but the thing is, he owns it. >> but the thing is, he owns it. >> you say it's not what it's for, but that does happen for whatever it was just. >> yeah, i think that does happen here. my phone , i think i happen here. my phone, i think i think i think you have you still got have you still have you still got a landline. >> yes. we've still got landline. >> i'm not sure there's that much that's that private in this world. >> i take your point, but yeah, we had a massive scandal in this country about phone hacking, right? >> yeah. and everyone was outraged by that. >> save yourself because you know you're wrong. >> no, i'm pointing out reading someone's private messages, and there's a national security point there, because there's maybe lead into jake. you know, it's not unusual that senior politicians use this to chat. >> do you think yousef was making when he stood up in parliament 2020 and was saying about that everyone? >> well, he was just showboating, wasn't he? >> he was just let's just let's get to the let's get to the crux of this. >> so go on. so humza yousaf has made a terrible mistake here. yes. it's the same mistake keir starmer made just this week is national leaders and humza yousaf was the leader of scotland. he was the first minister of scotland and keir starmer very rarely come against someone who has a bigger

platform than them. they're the prime minister or the first minister in humza yousaf's case, historically. but when you take on elon musk , he's more powerful on elon musk, he's more powerful than you. he's got more money than you. he's got more money than you. he's got more money than you , he's got a bigger than you, he's got a bigger platform than you. and also the crucial mistake is he loves it when you take them on. anyone who goes on twitter, i don't know why they do, but anyone who does knows. the worst thing you can do is feed the beast by responding humza yousaf's just say you're wrong and leave it at humza yousaf. >> i think he's about to find out potentially as well, that the taxpayer is no longer going to pay his legal fees. >> correct? >> correct? >> for him? yes. so does he really want to do that? >> well, it's admirable, i'm afraid. oh, it's not admirable because he's not going to do it. >> normal person or a relatively normal person taking on a billionaire just because they're ficher billionaire just because they're richer and stronger doesn't mean they're right. >> and i think i, i you will see me on an ice skating holiday in hell before you see humza yousaf and elon musk in court together. humza yousaf is not going to take on this challenge, nor should he. he should just ignore it, just say elon musk is wrong

if that's what he believes and let it go. the problem for humza yousaf now and this, this, this may be unfair to yousaf now and this, this, this may be unfairto him, yousaf now and this, this, this may be unfair to him, right? >> it may be unfair to may be unfair to him, right? >> it may be unfairto him >> it may be unfair to him because i suspect elon musk knows exactly what he's doing here. but the problem for humza yousaf now is if he doesn't press ahead with this legal thing, everyone's going to be going, what's in your dms? and thatis going, what's in your dms? and that is that is a problem for it. what it goes to court? well, all have said nothing, but if he goes to court, we'll all know exactly what's in his dms and other messages because under the court procedure, they will all become public. >> but also he plays the victim, doesn't he? yousef? i mean, he uses race as to play the victim. you said that him and his family might have to leave scotland now . might have to leave scotland now. why? what's happening to him in scotland? nothing is happening to him. sadiq khan did it this week as well and said because he's a muslim, he doesn't feel safe in this country. it's tosh . safe in this country. it's tosh. >> i tell you what isn't safe in this country. the fact is, the school holidays at the moment, we've had three young people murdered with a knife in southport and someone attacked with a knife in central london. your kids. i wouldn't take my children into central london. thatis children into central london. that is what not feeling safe.

looks like . and that, in looks like. and that, in london's case, is sadiq khan slander. >> i will just say in that case, just quickly. >> sorry, i will let you have you put away. i have to say allegedly murdered. >> allegedly murdered. all right. i think, you know, the mosques that have been attacked and had bricks and firebombs thrown at them. >> any muslim would feel alarmed if they live in those areas, just as jewish people have in the last year. >> well, exactly . i'm glad you >> well, exactly. i'm glad you put that. >> all right. okay. now, a british man was arrested in paris just hours before the closing ceremony of the olympics. after he did this . olympics. after he did this. millom. yes, i know. >> there's a dude climbing the eiffel tower. >> he just passed the blue ring. >> he just passed the blue ring. >> i don't think he's wearing shirt. >> i mean, it was brilliant commentary there. we probably have a job at the next olympics, but the reaction that this guy. just in case you're in any doubt as to whether or not the guy climbing the eiffel tower. there might have been a brit, well, just listen to this .

just listen to this. >> lovely, warm . >> lovely, warm. >> lovely, warm. >> it's bloody warm in it. he says he's led away by the police. there we go. anyway coming up next, i'll bring you some more of tomorrow's newspaper from pages. i'm also going to be explaining to you why a group of completely random people now just out having a pint on saturday, managed to find themselves with a baying with drums and megaphone, calling them all

okay, welcome back everybody. i've got some more front pages for you. so we'll start this round with the daily mail. as devastating report lays bare the failings of those treating psychotic nottingham triple killer, the victims furious families say blood on their hands. families say blood on their hands . this is the story that hands. this is the story that a doctor even warned that valdo calocane would kill or could kill. he did. nothing had been

done about it. it's an absolute horror story. let's go to the guardian. silent killer heatwaves in europe claim 50,000 lives. climate alarm. well, you can say that again as huge death toll from hottest year on record revealed apparently hot weather inflamed by carbon pollution killed nearly 50,000 people in europe last year. this is according to research. i'm trying to find out where they've got this research from, yeah. not immediately obvious to me in the article where the research is from, but apparently 50,000 people died because of the heat, right at the times zelenskyy takes water. putin well, i mean, that does beg the question what he's been doing for the last however long. but anyway, russians flee incursion into kursk region, fight coming home to you. the kremlin is told. okay, let's go to the daily telegraph. starmer warns iran no attack on israel. i mean , attack on israel. i mean, interesting, though, because starmer also warns israel that he's not going to harm them any more. and i think labour is now back. the idea that if benjamin

netanyahu sets foot in the uk, he might be arrested and sent to an international court. but but no, he's obviously now talking tough on israel. so pick the bones out of that one. and, yeah, the daily mirror , they've yeah, the daily mirror, they've gone on the nottingham killer story as well . health team story as well. health team ignored the warnings. they were told that he could kill. so there we go. can i just touch briefly on this i mean this is a this is a massive failing here, this is a massive failing here, this this valdo calocane story. i mean , it's a failure of the i mean, it's a failure of the family would think, having spoken to a couple of them. i'm aware of this. they think it's a failure of everything. i mean, this guy was , was, was was, you this guy was, was, was was, you know, shouldn't really have been on the streets where there was a warning there that he could kill. he did kill. the sentence he's got is an indeterminate hospital order. i believe , which hospital order. i believe, which technically means that he's available for parole. you know, every few years. i think this is this is just a horror story. >> and that's that's the crux of the thing. these, you know, there was a lot of commotion at there was a lot of commotion at the time when he was sentenced.

i think it should have been jail and not a hospital. and the court ruled that the hospital was the right place. but no, because all it takes is a panel of psychologists to say he's okay and he's back on the street again. it's happened before with other killers. so what happens when this happens to the psychologist who says they're free to go? is their revenue come back on then you say you're shaking your head . shaking your head. >> well, i just say, look, there are lots of people in our prisons who have severe mental illness who shouldn't be in prison. >> you've got to be mentally valdo calocane calocane however you pronounce his name. >> it was the correct sentence for him. i looked at this very closely at the time i followed the case very closely. it was the case very closely. it was the correct sentence for him to be given an indeterminate order because he is ill. >> yes , and he is ill. and >> yes, and he is ill. and prison is not the right place for him . anyone is mentally ill, for him. anyone is mentally ill, but i do think from at the time i think there is a minimum tariff still that is applied to him. >> i think it is predicted that he will never be released, but there are far too many people in prison who shouldn't be there much lesser crimes than this of severe mental illness. it's one of the reasons our prisons are

full, and in fact, the right place for them is to receive hospital treatment, to try and rehabilitate them. but but that there is no rehabilitation for him. he should never, ever be released. but the sentence he got legally, do you think there should be some issue here though? >> and this is the thing. and this actually, i think, cuts to the core of nhs culpability, which i do rail on quite a bit. and benjamin, i do, you know, does someone not have to be held to account for the fact that there were warnings here? and yet, you know, we've got a bloke who was driving a van and two students who are now dead because, you know, this situation was essentially allowed to happen. >> i mean , warnings being stated >> i mean, warnings being stated and not listened to clearly . and not listened to clearly. something should happen. there should be consequences to that. but i'd be very careful about saying to doctors and medical professionals that they can, you know, end up in the slammer themselves for making a mistake because they have to give the best of their professional conclusions. and i'd just say that, you know, if someone's mind is so warped , put him in mind is so warped, put him in a prison sentence, isn't the punishment that prison is meant to be? and if that's going to mean that the staff are at risk, that other prisoners are at

risk, is that really? i just hope this guy never sees the light of day again, you know? >> and that's the thing. and that's the he should he should neven that's the he should he should never, ever be released. >> i cannot see a situation in which, as the doctor has said, he won't pose a real danger to society. >> let's just wish ourselves on for something else. i mean, look, i must say i found this quite funny when i first saw it, but there is a serious undertone to it, which is really quite annoying. but the list of what makes you far right and racist in the eyes of the left is never ending, and the mere sight of some working class people now can whip that far left into an elitist frenzy. as a group of football fans found out to hilarious effect on saturday. take a look. as an innocent group of port vale supporters are surrounded by palestine flag waving stand up to racism marchers as they enjoyed a pre—match pint in. manchester.

go, go . they were a group of go, go. they were a group of port vale fans, one of them tweeted being called edl was not on. my 2024 bingo card. can't even have a pre—match pint before being called a racist. you just in a pub having a pint with your mates and then you turn around. there's someone with a megaphone and a drum kit calling you a fascist. what? what are you doing? it's ridiculous , isn't it? ridiculous, isn't it? >> i mean, we're laughing, you know, but it's actually very serious because at least those fans took it in good heart and were having a go back. >> but the problem that a lot of people would have been cowed and terrified by that mob , terrified. >> it just shows the idiocy of it, doesn't it? >> i mean, you know, there's the same group of people who say, don't judge everyone by the colour of their skin. don't judge everyone by whatever. you've just got a load of like white lads from stoke. you're having a pint of wetherspoons, you're a racist, you know, it's not like it's mad. >> it is. i mean, obviously, but presumably the march was going somewhere and the pub was just on wokester. so what? stop shop

isn't it? maybe they wanted a pint. you better not go you j pint. you better not go youj i mean, you're you are prime. >> prime. >> prime. >> growing my hair long. >> growing my hair long. >> yeah. you know, if you put a port vale shirt on and went to a wetherspoons on a saturday afternoon, mate, you how dare you? >>i you? >> i would never put a port vale shirt on. it would only be a liverpool shirt and that would be fine. >> yeah, well, yeah, that's true actually. anyway. all right, well, look, it is time to reveal today's greatest britain and union jackass. >> all right , carol, we union jackass. >> all right, carol, we start, please, with your greatest britain. >> okay? mine is the 29 year old security guard. and we only know him as abdullah. and he's the guy who worked in the tea shop in leicester square. and he saw what was happening outside when there was a child being stabbed. it was she was with her mother and he ran out and jumped straight in. tourists were hanging around doing nothing and abdullah just jumped straight in. i mean, he's probably saved the life of that one and others and probably others. i mean, god almighty and also execution, because security guards are often told not to get involved, they're told not to fight and to

stand back, but he went straight in. he was he was interviewed tonight. he's the sweetest man. and he just said, i saw was a child and i had to. >> yeah. no. well well done that super hero. well done that man. absolutely. go on benjamin. >> my greatest briton is tom daley who retired today after his fifth olympics, >> i'm going to be honest. nothing makes me feel like an underachiever. >> like the fact that he's been in five olympics, got five olympic medals, won four world championships, is married, has two kids and is a multi—millionaire. announcing his retirement at age 30. yeah, i think we can all agree. he's a remarkable man and a national treasure. >> if only you weren't scared of water. >> you know, you two, you could have been on that ten metre diving board doing a triple pike or whatever it is, you know. exactly. yeah. you know, it's just just in a different universe and a different universe. you weren't scared of exercise. >> so my greatest britain today is an honorary mention for tom cruise, who went into the olympic stadium on a zipwire, and he is almost british. he lives in britain and he loves

our royal family and he did it as an homage to our late majesty queen elizabeth ii, which i thought was a fantastic thing for him to do. and so it's an honorary mention as a potential great britain, somebody who lives here and loves our royal family. >> and i think we can say it, i say it. have we got a clip? oh, no, we've not asked a shame, but he's super fit as well and he's 60 and does that. >> it's incredible. and he's still hot. >> i mean he's still getting his winter fuel payment. they will. no no no. >> how will he survive. but okay today's winner of the greatest britain is abdullah who tackled the individual who was believed to have stabbed an 11 year old and a 34 year old in leicester square today. so well done, abdullah . right. your union abdullah. right. your union jacks, please. >> mine's homes are useless. this is the idiot thinking he can take on elon musk and i hope to god musk takes them to . to to god musk takes them to. to what? i was going to say something bad there. i hope he takes them on. and i hope musk makes an even bigger fool of him than he's made himself already. >> all right. no doubt humza yousaf would deny in the

strongest possible terms that he's an idiot. benjamin. >> you would, maroon and jackass is honorary. >> it's rachel gunn, known as reagan , the australian breakdancer. >> now tens of millions have seen this online today. i don't think we have a clip, but she has a she's a white woman with a phd in the culture of dance, of course she has. and she does break dance in exactly the way you'd expect someone of that description to do, which includes a kangaroo move, a yawn, if you've ever seen mr g on summer heights high. oh, yeah. >> so true, so we. so now this sparks a load of people who watched that ray gun and said, actually, i can do it. so we've got a clip of someone trying to do it. why is them doing it exactly? give me a ten. exactly how she did it. exactly? give me a ten. exactly how she did it . that is it. exactly? give me a ten. exactly how she did it. that is it. that was their basic. that was basically . basically. >> are you patrick? >> are you patrick? >> no, but it could be. i would have done a much betterjob of that. all right. we've got to rattle through. sorry about this. who's your is your. >> so my nomination for union jackass is jess phillips, the newly made up home office minister who, in response to a

sky news journalist being attacked by some counter—protesters , tweeted counter—protesters, tweeted okay, well, they were only. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> good evening. welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you from the met office . clear skies for many office. clear skies for many tonight will make for good viewing conditions of the meteor shower. it's going to be a fresher night as well compared to last night, but rain will spread into western areas such as this area of low pressure developing out to the west will drag in the next weather front. this cold front, though still clearing across the far southeast through this evening, southeast through this evening, so still a risk of some thundery downpours at least at first this evening. but then it will turn much drier and clearer across the whole of the uk . as i said, the whole of the uk. as i said, good viewing conditions for the meteor shower for many of us, while it's dark temperatures falling away a little lower than last night quite widely 12 to 14 degrees in towns and cities still a little bit hotter and
