9:07 pm
starmer around £55,000, including money for new clothing and spectacles. he also gave around £10,000 to the constituency of sue grey's son, liam conlon, who is now a labour mp. lord alli was then mysteriously granted a security pass for downing street. it's claimed he was allowed to attend political meetings there without civil servants present now. on friday, labour told the times newspaper that lord alli had a security pass but said it might be temporary. then they said he doesn't have one anymore. those are two different answers. one answer they don't seem to have is why he was given one at all. the tories have now written to the cabinet secretary, simon case, to ask who signed off on the pass. was it sir keir starmer? was it sue gray? this is the kind of thing that warrants an investigation. now this poses several problems for sir keir starmer because there are countless clips of him saying stuff like this. >> to change britain, we must
9:08 pm
change ourselves. we need to clean up politics. no more vip fast lanes , no more kickbacks fast lanes, no more kickbacks for colleagues, no more revolving doors between government and the companies they regulate. i will restore standards in public life with a total crackdown on cronyism. >> would sir keir starmer now have to resign? if it turns out there's been a little bit of cronyism? but it gets worse for labour chancellor rachel reeves has now been reported to the ministerial standards watchdog after another labour donor was mysteriously made a director at the treasury shortly after the election. ian caulfield reportedly donated £5,000 to rachel reeves in 2023. his appointment had to be approved by the civil service commission , by the civil service commission, which was apparently not made aware of that donation . there is aware of that donation. there is aware of that donation. there is a good chance this will lead to an investigation into rachel reeves and looking at labour's own stance on things like this, wouldn't she have to go? >> i made very clear that if any of my candidates was being investigated in relation to the gambling commission, i'd remove them straight away, which is
9:09 pm
what i've done. that's in a sharp contrast to rishi sunak, who took days and days and days before he took action. there's a wider story here about the choice that the general election next week. >> but it's not just the labour leader saying this. the deputy leader saying this. the deputy leader has said it too. even if mr caulfield has now stepped into an unpaid advisory role. angela rayner well, she said this in the past hasn't she? >> well, i think he's trying to take the british for public fools, you know, he's not sorry that he attended clearly attended a party. he knows it's against the rules. there's more than one party now. it was a contagion across the whole of number 10 at the time. and the prime minister really has to accept responsibility for that. >> indeed, even if boris johnson was just under investigation. angela rayner wanted him to go. oh, and there's also the issue of jess sargeant, who was appointed to the supposedly impartial civil service cabinet office after endorsing sir keir starmer at the general election and worked at a think tank called labour together now, according to civil service
9:10 pm
world, her job wasn't externally advertised . it's funny that, advertised. it's funny that, isn't it? many people think sir keir starmer got away with beer and korma gate during covid. many people think he got away with appointing sue gray as his chief of staff, despite the fact that she was involved in the partygate investigation into bofis partygate investigation into boris johnson . many people think boris johnson. many people think keir starmer got away with allegedly threatening speaker lindsay hoyle to tear up the parliamentary rule book over a vote on the gaza ceasefire. well okay. could it be these cronyism, cash for access , cronyism, cash for access, sleaze, accusations that finally stick to the teflon don? let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. i'm joined by former labour minister bill rammell. we've got broadcaster and journalist carole malone and the former tory minister paul scully. carole, as ever, i will start with you. there are some very serious allegations going around here about keir starmer and other people at the heart of the labour party. do you think this might finally bring him down or not? >> i don't think it's going to
9:11 pm
bnng >> i don't think it's going to bring him down, but i think it's horrendously embarrassing. you know, six weeks in the job and now, you know, and he spent, you know, half of his time in opposition slating the tories for sleaze, as did angela raynen for sleaze, as did angela rayner, as did rachel reeves. and now here it looks like that they're guilty of exactly the same thing. you know, rayner has taken 144 grand from the union since 2019. now we found she's taken 22 grand from waheed alli as well, including a stay in his new york apartment, which she's put down in her expenses of 1250. i don't think so. in a in a luxury flat in new york that much for five nights? i don't think so. so, you know, but they are. it'sjust think so. so, you know, but they are. it's just so embarrassing for them . we've got a prime for them. we've got a prime minister who who has a bloke behind his suits and his glasses for him. why, he's on 166 grand a year. >> he still trots out looking like that, you know. and that's the real scandal. >> terrible clothes . but, you >> terrible clothes. but, you know, he's earned 166 grand a yeah he know, he's earned 166 grand a year. he can buy his own clothes. why is he getting clothes. why is he getting clothes off? waheed, alli and i want to know what what influence that has bought him. we know it.
9:12 pm
bought him the pass. we don't know what else. these people don't give money for nothing. there's always strings attached. and how many more of these security passes are in existence? how many more people may or may not have? these are all very good questions. >> i will go to bill for a little bit of an answer on this first. bill, i mean, these are really strong accusations here. and they need answers, don't they? >> well, let's just remember the last tory government when we had real sleaze and corruption. hold on. let me make let me make the point. >> no, i'm sorry. i'm not shutting down the discussion. but there's no point doing that, okay? because we are where we are now and we can't say, well, because they did something wrong, then this is all right then. >> i'm not making that point. okay, patrick, i'm making the point that the scale of sleaze and corruption was way, way beyond what we're looking at here. let's deal with the appointments. it is permissible within the ministerial rules to appoint people to posts without open competition for a limited penod open competition for a limited period of time, up to two years. it helps any government drive
9:13 pm
their political agenda. the hypocrisy from the tories knows no bounds. there were 400 such appointments between 2022 and 2023. david cameron in 2010 immediately appointed ten tory advisers to civil service posts. what the government needs to do is to own this. be up front about what it's doing, why it's making the appointments, and explain them very clearly, which it hasn't done so far. >> i'm just going to say the reason this is so bad, though, is because starmer spent half his time campaigning before the election, saying he was going to clear up sleaze and look what he's done. he's right in the middle of it. >> six weeks in, you're talking about scale. they've only been in for 50 days. i mean, crikey, let's wait. what happens after five years, you know, where are they? what heights are they going to get to? anybody always talks about new governments coming in, making an unpopular decision straight away to get them out of the way. they didn't mean this kind of unpopular decision. you know, you've got people coming in and as you rightly said, you know, when
9:14 pm
angela rayner had her housing issue, she would have had to resign if she'd kept her to the same rhetoric that she'd been using in opposition. they haven't adjusted yet from our position into this. you've talked about jess. sergeant. not only is she in the cabinet office, she's actually in the propriety and ethics department. that's a directorate that she's in. you know, they know no bounds. >> but, paul, how are such appointments different to the 400 of your government? >> maybe because you don't come in. you don't just suddenly come in. you don't just suddenly come in having given five grand and come in as a deputy director, that's you just do not need to appoint in that kind of level. >> why has why did waheed alli have a security pass? >> okay, i think that one is more challenging in terms of perception if not substance. and i think the government needs to make clear he hasn't got a security pass now, as i understand it. but the government needs to make. >> but i think that's very quickly why he got the pass. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> exactly how wrong that pass was, because they've taken it off him at the first whiff of scandal about it. so if he was, if they had a good reason for
9:15 pm
giving it to him, they wouldn't have taken it off. >> his pass has gone in. caulfield stepped back now from that position. and jess, sergeant, there's question marks about if they if they're doing that this quickly they know the whiff that doesn't pass the smell. >> sniff loyalists to work in the supposedly neutral civil service is against all the rules. >> and you know that it's not against the rules. it is. i didn't say the ministerial code. i said the rules. >> but these are not similar. these are not they're not similar. they're not similar appointments. >> the rules explicitly allow governments to appoint people without open competition to drive their political agenda. >> just so we're all clear on something, because i think this is important, because this this story is going to run on. keir starmer is going to stand before the nation at some point tomorrow and tell us all. oh good grief. i've looked under the bonnet of the country. and you know what? the tories just absolutely knackered it. it's going to take me ten years to sort this mess out, and it's going to get worse before it gets better. it's going to sell us all out. and then he's going to stop talking. and all of the questions are not going to be about anything that he's had to say there. it's going to be all
9:16 pm
about sleaze and scandal and the potential for corruption. so let's just cut this off at the pass and say, if it turns out that waheed alli has got a security pass for downing street because he bought starmer a suit and some glasses, does starmer have to resign? >> well, look, all the all the donations by waheed alli are open and have been declared so what's that about. no no no sorry. the clothes the rest of it. and then he got the funding of labour mps. that has been openly but but in but in caulfield's donation by all accounts was not declared to the civil service commission. >> that looks at these the committee that looks at these kind of appointments and it's investigated for that. and so it's so it's absolutely right that she gets investigated. in reality, i think, you know, according to the labour party's own rhetoric and opposition, they should they won't. but actually what will happen is that these names ian caulfield, jess, sergeant waheed ali will be pub quiz questions. people will forget that. but the whiff will forget that. but the whiff will remain. >> that's the that's the game against the rachel reeves donation will be investigated, what? the outcome will be. who knows? but but there's there is an underlying critique here. >> if i would make one criticism of the government is that keir ,
9:17 pm
of the government is that keir, certainly in opposition, was often too slow in decision making on critical issues. you can do that in opposition. you can't do it in government. and i think particularly on ally, they need to explain why he had the past, what he was doing in number 10 and be up front about look at look at the other people who took money from waheed ali, david lammy, you had bridget phillipson, the education secretary >> he gave a £1.2 million loan to someone called siobhan mcdonagh. you know, he's he's right into the heart of your party. he's bought his way into every aspect of your party. that's sinister. that's not right. >> but but but you know what? this happens in terms of funding from very wealthy people under all parties. i actually i've actually got a solution to it . actually got a solution to it. it's that we moved the public funding of political parties and don't make. >> so you're then asked but then you ask and you know, i can sound sympathy in lancing the boil, but then you're asking taxpayers to solve the politicians problems. you need better politicians in the first place. >> the perception of i understand that, but i would
9:18 pm
argue is, is, is that we, the taxpayer, are already paying for keir starmer to. >> yes, we are, you know, in one way, shape or form. >> so, so yeah, you shouldn't always ask the taxpayer to pick up the, the failings of politicians. >> you need better politicians in the first place. >> we have public funding of political parties through the short money. your your party is now being substantially funded through taxpayers money. through the short money. so it's not something dramatically new. >> people out there don't know what short money is. but the bottom line is what they do know is what this looks like. yes and it stinks. it's it. you know , it stinks. it's it. you know, what was the quote today? rotten politics to the core. and that's what it looks like. >> and i think, you know, short money is to fund opposition parties. and each of them get the major parties, get something and that's them to fund their work because shadow cabinet don't actually get paid. >> you know what i do hope happens seriously. and i really do hope this happens, is that when keir starmer delivers his speech tomorrow, all of the questions afterwards are about this. because time and time and time again, whenever the conservatives stood up and tried to make an announcement on something, the follow up questions afterwards were never about what it was that their
9:19 pm
announcement was. it was always about, you know, whoever had pinched someone's backside in a carlton club thing or whatever, you know what i mean? that kind of stuff. and it's about time that the labour government faced up to that. i think because he can't just swerve this. and like you said, bill, he's there. may well be nothing to hide. waheed alli as well is not here to defend himself all of this stuff. but just answer it then answer it. come out and answer it. well, look, there is going to be a press conference tomorrow. >> and i think you're right. there's probably going to be questions gb news will be present at the press conference, probably won't come to us. >> of course he will. >> of course he will. >> gb news interviewed keir in my constituency during the general election because he needed us then and he doesn't needed us then and he doesn't need us now. >> but anyway, there we go. i'll probably get in trouble for saying that anyway. still to come. people were arrested for gun and knife offences at notting hill carnival today. why are some left wing politicians absolutely silent about this? we wouldn't carry on lauding any other event where there was this level of criminality would be. kevin mckenzie joins me in the studio, but up next it's time for our head to head. so the taliban, predictably, are now clamping down on women's rights in afghanistan, even banning women's voices in public. is it time that we restricted afghan asylum policy to just
9:23 pm
gb news. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. firearms offences, multiple stabbings, a woman fighting for her life after being stabbed in front of her own kids and massive, massive, widespread drug use . why on widespread drug use. why on earth do we tolerate notting hill carnival? when we would never do the same for any other event? but before all of that, it's event? but before all of that, wsfime event? but before all of that, it's time for a head to head .
9:24 pm
it's time for a head to head. the taliban publish new vice and virtue laws last week, which prohibit women from speaking or showing their faces outside their homes. the new legislation , their homes. the new legislation, which has been condemned by the un, says that whenever an adult woman leaves her home out of necessity, she's obliged to conceal her voice, face and body. women must also not be heard singing or reading aloud from inside their own homes, and they also cannot directly look at a man they are not related to by blood or marriage . well, good by blood or marriage. well, good job. david lammy is on the case, isn't it? because he's called the news appalling, saying that the news appalling, saying that the exclusion of afghan women from public life is another tragic setback for the country and its people. but in the latest load of immigration statistics released last week, 5370 of the 31,500 small boat arrivals were from afghanistan, making them top of the small boat arrival nationality. the data also showed that around 83% of small boat arrivals in the 12 months to june this year were men . where age was recorded,
9:25 pm
men. where age was recorded, more than 40% of them were young men, 25 to 39 years old. well, given the hideous treatment of women in afghanistan compared to the high percentage of male small boat arrivals in the uk, should we actually only be taking afghan women and children, do you think? i'm joined now by the founder of global conservative coalition, sunil sharma and human rights campaigner ayesha ali khan. both of you. thank you very much. always a pleasure, sunil. i'll start with you. should we only be taking women and children, refugees, especially from afghanistan? >> yes , for sure. i think the >> yes, for sure. i think the main thing is, i think when we're talking about when it comes to anything in this country is first and foremost, it's safety. so what are the safety implications of whether any policy, especially when it comes to something like a foreign policy, is the safety of this country and the people of this country and the people of this country. we know from data and stats across the whole of europe, whether it's france, sweden , denmark, the sweden, denmark, the implications of when we take in a large population, whether it be asylum seekers or refugees from countries such as afghanistan, iraq and syria. and
9:26 pm
there is a detrimental impact when it comes to crime, when it comes to housing, when it comes to employment, when it comes to the overall safety of the residents of that country. so i think it's already difficult as it is when you're trying to integrate a large population of people into any environment. add to the fact that a lot of these people have a cultural barrier, that they don't necessarily agree with the same culture, different language barrier, a different language barrier, a different accumulation of life. and on top of that, the worrying thing and we've seen in many instances, some of these people show complete disdain or hatred towards some of our values. i think when you take all these factors into account, i think it's vital that we don't allow, a significant population of male , a significant population of male, afghani refugees, asylum seekers and i'll bring you in now. >> i mean, look, yeah, i'll just ask you the same question. why? why should we not only be accepting the refugees who are the women and children, do you think? >> i think for me , patrick, the >> i think for me, patrick, the most dangerous thing is that if
9:27 pm
we start putting barriers and restrictions on people that can apply, that can come to the uk and apply for asylum , where and apply for asylum, where exactly will we end up stopping? i mean, at this point we're obviously talking about men and women and children. then we could easily start looking at age ranges. you know, and so on. but just kind of, i mean, i have been such a massive campaigner and activist and, you know , and activist and, you know, around the rights of afghan women. we've been talking about this way, way, way before the, the fall of the previous government and the taliban coming back into power. we've been talking about the rights of women, afghani women not allowed to , go to university, not to, go to university, not allowed to go to school, not allowed to go to school, not allowed to go to school, not allowed to go to college. and now with obviously this new the latest draconian laws which have passed, i mean , if we're really passed, i mean, if we're really going to start to talk about these, the situation in afghanistan for women, seriously, we need the entire international community to take the plight of afghani women
9:28 pm
seriously and to stop engaging with the taliban . with the taliban. >> and should the men of that country. aisha, i just want to ask you this. seriously, should should the men of that country not take it seriously? why are they all on boats over here? should they not be going and staying at home and trying to fight for the rights of the women and children? i mean, you know, they're leaving them there, aren't they? >> look, the problem we have is absolutely it's the men that are in charge that are in power in afghanistan, that are passing these laws that are directly impacting afghani women . and if impacting afghani women. and if it was up to me, i'd basically have every single woman in afghanistan safe and secure in the uk . but they want they want the uk. but they want they want to stay at home. first of all, that's one thing we want to make the, the circumstances for them in afghanistan better and we can't do this if we're basically saying, yes, let's it's okay. what's going on there? you guys can, let's let's bring all these women and children here, and we will give them asylum here. but, patrick, we've spoken about this in the past as well . the system in the past as well. the system in the past as well. the system in the past as well. the system in the uk is just not fit for purpose , can you imagine what
9:29 pm
purpose, can you imagine what what happens now is if your asylum case is failed, you. you have only 21 days before you are basically kicked out. so that means , you know, accommodation means, you know, accommodation has gone, everything has gone . has gone, everything has gone. you're basically, if you don't leave the country, you're you're homeless. >> i get i do get that asylum. >> i get i do get that asylum. >> and patrick, if you are given asylum, if you're literally given asylum, you you literally have four weeks, 28 days within which to find accommodation, to find, somewhere to rent, to find a job. and basically, if you've got children to find exactly . got children to find exactly. >> and we probably have a bit more, but i'm just saying we'd probably have a bit more space if we weren't taking all of the men. if maybe we could just take more women and children, i don't know. and suddenly i do want to ask this, you know, genuinely is there not a real risk here, right, that there's a blind spot to the ideology of some of the people who are coming over on small boats? how do we know that the men, the afghan men who are coming to this country don't actually have the same views
9:30 pm
towards women as the taliban? >> well, i think if you if you look across , the other parts of look across, the other parts of the middle east, we saw that a lebanese government minister a few years ago say that he believes one inch 50 people that come from syria belong to isis. >> lots of people within that region, within pakistan at the moment wanting to evacuate a lot of afghani people in terms of moving them out back to afghanistan. people within that region know the security risks, people within that region. there's a reason not a lot of them are opening their borders to these situations, because it is incredibly difficult to vet genuine cases. now, of course, some things aisha said it's horrible and it's, you know, so disgusting what these women are having to go through. but the difficulty is we don't know. we cannot say that the vetting process that goes on in these countries when they come here is substantial. so what we're doing is we're putting our own country, our own people at risk. we already have a drain on when it comes to the nhs, where, you know, we're rightly so. people are frustrated with the housing crisis. it's very difficult for young people to get houses in this country. we're seeing the attack towards pensioners from this labour government. there's
9:31 pm
difficulties already in this in this country in terms of our economy . you can't pour from an economy. you can't pour from an empty cup. and i think what we're looking to do now is when we're looking to do now is when we're doing these humanitarian causes, it's awful what's going on in afghanistan to these women. and i think president biden has a massive responsibility in the way he evacuated afghanistan three years ago. i think it's one of the worst military operations that we've probably seen in modern day. and i think he has a serious responsibility. a lot of questions that people are very frustrated and rightly so. but i think we need to start to ask the question is how can we successfully integrate that many people into our country? it's not worked so far. we're having difficulties as it is when it comes to the southern stuff mentioned in terms of housing and stuff. so i think it's something that really needs to be strongly thought about. and i think we really need to sort our own country out in terms of the current infrastructure that we currently have. as before we start opening our borders, we cannot, unfortunately, help all the countries that have different women, human rights issues to us. now, we may disagree with it. we may say afghanistan's wrong. what's going on in congo where you're seeing pregnant mothers having to get cobalt from the ground
9:32 pm
there in this horrible environment, there's plenty of countries that where women's rights are beyond awful. unfortunately, the united kingdom does not have the capacity to open its borders up to every single country. i think we need to seriously think about the risks of when we're bringing people from different countries who have a completely different culture, completely different values, into this country. it's very difficult to integrate all of that in. all right, look, both of you, thank you very, very much. >> i'm sorry about this. we have we have overrun a little bit. i do appreciate both of your points, genuinely. and, you know, it is an incredibly difficult situation. and, you know, i assure you, there's a lot to be said for what you've said there, which is that, you know, it becomes very difficult to differentiate and hard to say very quickly, refugees or asylum seekers that are basically that come here and apply. >> they're not they're not given housing, they're not given. they're literally sent to off detention centres, and then they're kept from the public until their cases have been heard. and if they have been heard. and if they have been heard and they're granted asylum, like i said, they only have 21 days within which to sort themselves out, at which point they're basically effectively homeless, which is one of the reasons why they go
9:33 pm
to the top of the housing queue. yeah, my issue is we have to re we have to address the current system. it's not fit for purpose. if we actually were serious about helping people, we would be able to weed out these cases that sunil has mentioned about men coming here, not just from afghanistan, but it's very difficult. >> all right. okay, i appreciate it.thank >> all right. okay, i appreciate it. thank you. we look, i would if i had my way, we probably would do an entire show on this as i'm sure you can tell. but thank you very, very much. as the founder of global conservative coalition alok sharma and human rights campaigner ayesha ali khan, coming up with people arrested for gun and knife offences at notting hill carnival today, why are left wing politicians completely silent about all of this? kelvin mckenzie joins me live in the studio, but next it's another story that i think will make you question your handle on reality as a pro athlete reveals that biological men won three women's categories in the park run events over the weekend. the rows over gender fairness in sports are showing no signs of subsiding . are men cheating in women's park runs in
9:37 pm
welcome back to patrick christys tonight. heck of a lot to go at the latest. crime stats are in for notting hill carnival and it does make you wonder, doesn't it? we wouldn't tolerate any other event where there's that level of criminality, would we? i'm not saying that we should ban it. i would just prefer it if our politicians were more honest about certain things that go on there. but former olympic runner mara yamauchi has done a deep dive into the park run
9:38 pm
statistics . now, if you're not statistics. now, if you're not aware of what a park run is, it's a local event. people turn up, they run five k. it's conceivably a great thing, okay. but according to mara's work, she has found that on more than 170 occasions, a man has finished as the first female at parkrun, uk and this saturday's run, well, it made history okay. three men finished in the position of first female in day one. this all comes, by the way, of course, as it was announced that valentina petrillo, a transgender sprinter, will represent italy at the paralympics. i mean, look, what does this say about fairness in women's sport, even at the grassroots level ? okay. mario grassroots level? okay. mario mori, i'm very pleased to say joins me now . mara, thank you joins me now. mara, thank you very, very much. great to have you on the show, so look, park runner set a record, why does this matter? some people would say, hey, look, come on, it's just ordinary people running around a park. >> well, it matters because females of all ages, abilities and levels deserve fairness,
9:39 pm
including in parkrun. it also matters because parkrun is a grassroots recreational level activity , but it's part of the activity, but it's part of the pathway to elite level. we've just heard at the recent olympics how several of the athletes there, josh kerr and georgia bell amongst them , began georgia bell amongst them, began their athletics careers in parkrun . so, you know, it parkrun. so, you know, it matters for females at parkrun to have fairness and currently there are numerous males competing in the female category in parkrun. and this is unfair because men run 10% on average faster than females. and furthermore there are two additional categories at parkrun in addition to male and female, which are called another gender identity and prefer not to say trans. identifying males could participate in those two categories if they can't bring themselves to join the male category and not cause fairness for females. but many of them are joining the female category, so they're choosing to do it. >> so it's an active personal
9:40 pm
choice for a man to run and compete against women. now, correct me if i'm wrong on this, mara, but i believe that one of the, you know, the brave winners of the weekend actually would have won the men's race. is that right? >> yes. so he is a man in middle age, he ran nearly two minutes faster than the man who was first in the same age category in the male category. so had he beenin in the male category. so had he been in the male category, he would have won by nearly two minutes. as he was, he was in the female category, and he got a massively inflated age grade percentage score , which is percentage score, which is a score that parkrun gives everybody. so that you can compare one another, sort of taking away your age and sex, because males in the female category get these massively inflated age grade scores. he was top of the age grade rankings by more than 9%, pushing down some very fast male masters runners . masters runners. >> so i mean, it's just disadvantaging literally
9:41 pm
everybody apart from the individual involved. i suppose. really, yeah. is it time that companies like parkrun, which is at the end of the day, is a company, isn't it. i suppose that they actually to stand up this nonsense and do something about it, because for me it's all very well and good. every few years you get the odd individual highlighted at the olympics, or you get the odd elite sport example. fine. but actually, as we see with so many other aspects of society, this really starts from the very, very bottom. and park parkrun is grassroots isn't it? and you know, if we see it being normalised there, well how long is it before it's probably already happening isn't it. but you know at grassroots girls rugby events you've got blokes turning up and taking part cricket, football, all of that stuff . so do parkrun need to stuff. so do parkrun need to stand up and do something about this asap? >> well, i wish they would, but they've taken the opposite view. their policy for categories is gender self—id . they reviewed it gender self—id. they reviewed it last summer and despite knowing about the unfairness for females ,
9:42 pm
about the unfairness for females, decided to continue it. so i would really urge them as soon as possible to implement sex at birth categories. compel instruct everybody clearly to follow it honestly. and then if people complain, they can investigate. but you're absolutely right about, you know, it's a grassroots level activity and it really matters, it sets it sets a precedent because a lot of these males also compete in licensed events in the female category, which is against uk athletics rules. so it it normalises males in the female category. and then they go on to do it in licensed events. >> exactly, exactly. and all of the knock on consequences about where they get changed and all of that stuff, it all becomes normalised. look, thank you very much and well done, by the way, for keeping tabs on things like parkrun, because it is people like you who are massively invested in it. they then bring it into the public consciousness because with the best will in the world, i would not have spent my sunday looking through
9:43 pm
the results of parkrun. so thank you very much. thank you very much. >> this data is really important. i encourage people to follow an account called i heart bikes, which does the same thing in women's cycling in the us. >> lovely stuff. all right, you take care and i'll talk to you soon. all the best, murray. yamal there. and look, we have approached parkrun for comments. they've not got back to us coming up, me and my press pack will bring you a very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. that's at at tomorrow's newspaper front pages . that's at 1030. but next. pages. that's at 1030. but next. look, people have been arrested again for gun and knife offences at notting hill carnival. in fact, a young mother was stabbed very nearly to death in front of her own child . why are left wing her own child. why are left wing politicians just constantly telling us that this is an amazing cultural event that we all just need to a part of? can't they just be honest
9:46 pm
9:47 pm
metropolitan police following the notting hill carnival, which is actually still happening, show at more than 40 weapons have been seized , including two have been seized, including two firearms as 145 people were arrested. that is today. that was as of 7 pm. today. yesterday three people were stabbed, leaving 132 year old woman in a life threatening condition. the notting hill carnival is a year after year cultural celebration as a cohesive event showcasing the best of caribbean culture. but with these shocking crime stats being delivered year after year again is the political and policing establishment in denial? i think it's more the politicians in this case, i must say, you know, has the notting hill carnival actually become a carnival of crime? joining me now is the former editor of the sun, kelvin mackenzie. look, kelvin, i'll lay my cards on the table . early doors here. i don't table. early doors here. i don't think this. you couldn't ban this event. even if you wanted to. i'd like our politicians to be more honest about it. this this is this is a at times, it's a mass crime event as well as a festival, isn't it? >> yes. and let's let's face
9:48 pm
this right . >> yes. and let's let's face this right. if this were hartlepool, you would have every single politician on of every colour shouting from the rooftops . something must be rooftops. something must be done. they'd be shouting out the words white and far right. no words white and far right. no word is spoken about what's happening in notting hill. literally only 100 yards, by the way, from these studios. i mean , way, from these studios. i mean, i've seen them there, tens of thousands of them tonight , going thousands of them tonight, going home at the end of the carnival . home at the end of the carnival. so i hear nothing from starmer. starmer gave a press conference. he gave a press conference and continued to say these people should be jailed and actually some of them are absolute thugs and they should be jailed. right. | and they should be jailed. right. i don't hear a word from him and actually we have a labour mayor of london. okay. who would have been all over this had it not been that they are for reasons which actually your viewers know you and i know nobody can talk about the issues surrounding this kind of
9:49 pm
violence. and i think it's a disgrace. and actually, not only do i think it is, which probably doesn't matter much, the deputy assistant commissioner at scotland yard , he says, why am i scotland yard, he says, why am i saying this year after year after year, his officers are being beaten up, people are being beaten up, people are being stabbed within a moment of their lives. there are sexual assaults. they actually stopped assaults. they actually stopped a car in north london that was heading here in order. actually, they were armed. these people on that car. what on earth were they planning to do? yeah. so it's an organised crime event, actually. so what does mayor khan say? he'll turn round and say, well, actually, there's quite a lot of pleasure. tell that to the police officers who had their head kicked in. >> they are ? yes. so there have >> they are? yes. so there have been. so look at 10 pm. i'm going into much more detail on all of this right. good. that is all of this right. good. that is a tweet from from, the mayor of london, sadiq khan. he says, oh, look at this. it's absolutely
9:50 pm
fantastic . we're celebrating fantastic. we're celebrating london's caribbean communities. oh, it's part of the fabric of our city. it's brilliant. it's amazing way to bring communities together. now, look, in part, he's right . together. now, look, in part, he's right. parts of together. now, look, in part, he's right . parts of carnival he's right. parts of carnival are fantastic, but we cannot. you cannot have this ridiculous blind spot to the fact that every single year people get stabbed, police officers get their heads kicked in, there's guns, there's knives, there's drugs everywhere. that is a thing. and i would also just say, as well, you know, on this, why is it then for this wonderfully, you know, cultural experience that we all get ? why experience that we all get? why do shops and people's houses get boarded up every single year. >> yeah. no, it is correct. so how mayor khan says that whereas he knows that the previous day, on day one of this carnival, a 32 year old woman is now in hospital tonight fighting for her life. i think she's serious rather than right on death row now , right? she's fighting for now, right? she's fighting for her life. why does he say that ? her life. why does he say that? why does he say that? why doesn't he say i am very, very
9:51 pm
sorry about what happened next year ? we are going to clamp year? we are going to clamp down. we're going to do less of it. we're going to have it more controlled. why doesn't he say this? and he says if we can't control notting hill carnival, then unfortunately there won't be a notting hill and just put that out there and see what happens. he can't be accused of being. if he were, if he were white, he'd be accused of being of being racist, wouldn't he? yes, actually he can't say stuff, but something has to be said. yeah, yeah , no i agree. said. yeah, yeah, no i agree. >> and if those crime stats were coming out of a saint george's day parade, that would never happen again. it would never. the event would not be allowed to ever. >> and we have seen we have seen our prime minister urging judges to send some thugs , absolutely. to send some thugs, absolutely. thugs send them to jail. why doesn't the prime minister come out tomorrow morning and say these thugs who assaulted police officers, they should go to jail? >> well, well, he's got a pretty good opportunity to do that because he's delivering a statement. he is. it's a good
9:52 pm
point. again, i will emphasise, i actually don't really care that much about the carnival situation in terms of i've been myself years ago, thought it was all right, you know, fine. but you can't deny the rap sheet at the end of every single day and then expect us all to believe that this is a wonderful day of, you know, of the perfect expression of so, so, so two tier care. >> right? hartlepool. one view, notting hill another. explain that to your audience, prime minister. >> all right . well there we go. >> all right. well there we go. so we actually do now have an individual who's coming out and defending carnival and talking about it all as well. and it's a former police detective at the met. so let's hear what they have to say. >> what i would say is this, that those events in the vast majority, the main, are peaceful events. you will see a huge amount of vibrancy, which is playing out on your screens right now, and unfortunately, the media will play out that it is, in the main, violent and plagued by violence yourself, if you just said. but actually,
9:53 pm
that's a small percentage if you compare that to the leeds festival last year, which had 100,000, revellers that attended those events, there were 78 arrests, which actually the proportion of that compared to notting hill carnival is actually somewhat bigger . actually somewhat bigger. >> yeah. look, she makes a point there and look , i'm willing to there and look, i'm willing to stand corrected on this, but i'm not sure the taxpayer pays for leeds festival though. and that's that may be a point of difference . we're going to be difference. we're going to be very quick on this, but i do want to bring this to people's attention because there's a new teacher training document that's emerged that shows that teachers are being taught to challenge whiteness in lessons. now, the new guidance has been put in place to ensure teachers are anti—racist student teachers have also been encouraged to project a positive white identity. the documents have been endorsed by various different universities as well. kelvin, i have to be quite quick on this, but why are we challenging whiteness in the classroom? what's going on? >> i don't know, we should have been encouraging whiteness because at the bottom of the education, learning in this
9:54 pm
country are poor, white boys. actually, it's this kind of it's this kind of old nonsense which is being put out, which creates a divided society. everybody wants to wants the best for whatever colour you are in life. right. and why they put out something like this in which then the white community then feel resentful is totally beyond me . and the trouble is that me. and the trouble is that these are people who are actually talking to our children, right? and therefore , children, right? and therefore, you would have thought that balance all the time is important. so but as long as people talk about whiteness as a kind of an avalanche to be horrible about one section of society, i am afraid we are going to have more division in our society. this kind of phraseology is unhelpful. >> yeah , i'm not really i mean, >> yeah, i'm not really i mean, i that's exactly it, really. in a sense. i'm not really sure who this helps, does it? it's what you've got student teachers conceivably. i don't even know what that looks like. challenging whiteness in the classroom. do you know what?
9:55 pm
>> do you know what that was? it's a poor document, and i have noidea it's a poor document, and i have no idea who wrote it. i'd like to see who actually particularly wrote it. find out why. why they're saying it. are they saying it because they're getting paid to say it? or do they actually believe it? >> interesting. would it not? actually if, if it was a non—white person who wrote that document. yeah. because could that not then conceivably be called racist? because if it was the other way around, you know, we were saying you need to challenge a particular ethnicity or something in the classroom. i'm not really sure that would work, but we're going to have to have to knock it on the head there. thank you very much. scott mckenzie, the former editor of the sun. coming up, isis have claimed responsibility for a syrian national carrying out a mass stabbing in germany on friday. oh, and taylor swift concert in vienna was cancelled because of terror threats. is it time that the refugees welcome brigade hang their heads in shame? i'm going to pick that apart. but next, after 90 arrests, a woman left in hospital in a life threatening condition. is it time that our politicians stop lying to us about the reality of notting hill carnival? stay tuned . hill carnival? stay tuned. >> that warm feeling inside from

10:04 pm
the 26 year old behind the attack in western germany has been named as eissa al h. that was after he gave himself up to the police. the syrian national is now being investigated by german federal prosecutors for links to the islamic state terror group , and italian lawyer terror group, and italian lawyer nancy dell'olio has paid tribute to her ex—partner, former england manager sven—goran eriksson, after he died at the age of 76. nancy has said i choose to remember the good times we shared and the moments that brought joy to our lives. the swedish national became the first ever foreign manager of the england men's football team in 2001. sven also managed a series of high profile clubs such as manchester city, benfica, roma and fiorentina. eriksson had pancreatic cancer and at the start of this year he revealed he only had a year to live at best. his former england captain david beckham posted an

forward slash alerts. >> hello and welcome back to patrick christys tonight . now, patrick christys tonight. now, there was a far right march in london last night that saw two people arrested for firearm offences. three people stabbed. one woman is currently fighting for her life. more than a dozen assaults on emergency workers. 18 people were arrested for possession of an offensive weapon. and loads of people were arrested for drug offences. oh, no, sorry, that wasn't a far right march. it was notting hill carnival. now i want to make something very , very clear. something very, very clear. okay. i don't think we should cancel carnival. you couldn't cancel carnival. you couldn't cancelit cancel carnival. you couldn't cancel it even if you wanted to. i also want to say a massive well done to the police for doing their best. but it is time i think, for left wing virtue signalling, diversity obsessed politicians to stop lying to us about it. notting hill carnival is not the greatest celebration of multiculturalism and diversity and community cohesion. london mayor sadiq khan said great to see the culture and creativity that
10:07 pm
carnival brings to our city once again. this year. well, that is interesting, isn't it? because why do residents and businesses feel the need to barricade their properties up? entire streets are boarded up, barriers are put in place. many residents simply go away for that weekend because they don't feel particularly safe. every single year we see things like this. safe. every single year we see things like this . okay, yeah, things like this. okay, yeah, there we go. a load of barricades up, everything like that every single year. there's knife crime, there's machetes, there's zombie knives . now the there's zombie knives. now the data is available online. okay. there have been 35 stabbings in the last three years. that is before this year's event was thrown into the mix. it costs us quite a lot of money in 2022. reportedly, the taxpayer paid around £125 million. let's look at the available crime data here. as of right now this minute. okay. the police put a
10:08 pm
statement out on sunday night saying there'd be 90 arrests, three stabbings, ten assaults of an emergency worker, 18 people done for possession of an offensive weapon, four sexual offences and loads of drug offences. a woman was stabbed in front of her young child. she is in a critical condition then as of 7 pm. today. so shortly before i came to air, the metropolitan police said this. they stopped a car en route to carnival and found someone in possession of a gun. they also arrested someone at the event with a firearm and someone who was wanted for attempted murder . was wanted for attempted murder. there have been 145 arrests today, 40 for possession of an offensive weapon, not including the guns. i just spoke about 16 assaults of emergency workers, three violent assaults with injury . politicians would not be injury. politicians would not be celebrating any other event where that level of criminality took place. now they turn a blind eye to it. in my view, because it's mainly attended by ethnic minorities and they don't
10:09 pm
want to seem racist. but facts aren't racist. notting hill carnival is two things at the same time. okay it's a nice, fun day out where the majority of people enjoy themselves. it is also a mass crime event. they can't ignore the last bit there, and they can't lie to us and say that they'd let this keep on going ahead. year after year. if this happened on an annual saint george's day parade, because they wouldn't. all right, let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. joined by former labour minister bill rammell, we've got broadcaster and journalist carole malone and former conservative mp paul scully, carole , i'll start with scully, carole, i'll start with you on this. you know, they would not allow this event to go ahead with that level of criminality. well, they wouldn't allow any other events to go ahead with that criminality, would they? >> there was a former chief inspector today, a guy called mike neville. he said that if this had been happening on the way to a millwall match, there would have been mass arrests. in fact, it would be there would be
10:10 pm
stopped from going to the match. you know, this, this is really got to be renamed now. it's a it's a stabbing crime fest. and this is not a day of fun. and geordie, it's become a stabbing and crime fest. you know in the seven last years you mentioned the last three years. last seven years, 54 stabbings in 2023. there were 7000 officers on the streets again today. the overtime bill forjust streets again today. the overtime bill for just the overtime bill for just the overtime bill for the cops in 2023, £5.5 million. that's just for overtime . so why are we for overtime. so why are we paying for overtime. so why are we paying this amount of to money allow all this to happen and to allow, you know, a mother was stabbed in front of her child today and we're still seeing pictures of people in feathers and running around and fun outfits. it's not funny. and you know, when coppers are getting hurt all the time, people are getting hurt. the one cop said today was that the carnival is a great excuse for people to be sexually molested . so you're sexually molested. so you're having all of this going on? it's just disgusting. and yet we have, as you say, where was keir starmer today? he should have
10:11 pm
been shouting from the rafters. this is appalling. and i'm pretty much betting that the arrests made over the last three days will trump the arrests made over the past three weeks in southport. >> well, well we'll see. i mean, look, the reality is if you stopped and searched everyone at carnival, you would have to arrest tens , if not hundreds of arrest tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people. right? so they're not doing that because they're not doing that because they haven't got the capacity to. but they could if they wanted to. paul, i'll bring you in on this. now you see the likes of sadiq khan and people on the left championing this as this is this is the epitome of multicultural community cohesion . multicultural community cohesion. britain. why is everyone boarded the houses up then? >> well, this is the thing because look, it is supposed to because look, it is supposed to be the second biggest street carnival in the world, after after after rio. but the you're absolutely right. it's not a community event when people are boarding up their houses and people are building, boarding up businesses as well. i was actually there a couple of days ago in the lead up to it, where just underneath the police hq, which is hosted by a local
10:12 pm
school there, and where they have a vantage point over these people. but you have a million people. but you have a million people on the streets of notting hill, which otherwise is just known for portobello market. it's known for instagrammable houses. and of course, next doon houses. and of course, next door, it's proper cheek by jowl. london, you've got grenfell tower just london, you've got grenfell towerjust a london, you've got grenfell tower just a few london, you've got grenfell towerjust a few minutes london, you've got grenfell tower just a few minutes walk away from the epicentre . it's in away from the epicentre. it's in the wrong place. it's now got to a point where it's so full, it's so crammed, the police can't get to half of these people if they wanted to, even if they had the capability to move it to hyde park, something like that, you could marshal it a lot better and you probably then don't need to abstract as many police away from the rest of london. all right. >> so tomorrow we should have keir starmer should we built on a plinth somewhere saying , a plinth somewhere saying, right, okay, what i want now we've seen at least 35 attacks on emergency workers . this is on emergency workers. this is deplorable. this cannot stand this level of criminality. and we're going to we're going to we're going to we're going to we're going to open up more prison cells for these people. are we going to get that? >> well, look, the reality is the vast, vast majority of people who take part in the
10:13 pm
carnival , the, the notting hill carnival, the, the notting hill carnival are peaceful and it's a celebration of multicultural britain. also, let's get the scale into context. it's actually 2 million people over the weekend . you have that the weekend. you have that number of people involved. you are bound to have some crimes. but put it into context . if you but put it into context. if you look at the annual crime figures for notting hill, it's 121 look at the annual crime figures for notting hill, it's121 per 1000 population, and that includes the festival. now that's in the average for local authority areas in england and wales . wales. >> keir starmer say something about the people who attacked emergency workers today. should they be fast tracked through the courts and be given extra long sentences of course, if he doesn't say that, what's that show to you? well, let's wait and see. >> tomorrow he won't mention it, but of course they should be condemned. any criminality should be condemned. and look, you know, the premise for this discussion is two tier policing. the police rightly have acted very forcefully. >> it's actually two tier politicians. that's the premise of it . because politics is left of it. because politics is left wing. it's left wing politicians ignonng wing. it's left wing politicians ignoring all of this.
10:14 pm
>> where's the where's the family die , bill? family die, bill? >> what's happening? you're doing exactly what keir starmer will do tomorrow. you'll talk about the cultural, the creativity, all the rest of it. what he will not talk about is the criminality and all the crimes that are recorded out there. that's not the amount of crimes that have happened. there will be many, many more crimes. i mean, i just won't be recorded. >> i agree, i agree, i agree the vast majority of people are just enjoying themselves, celebrating, but there is such a level of criminality here that if you just gloss over it, you never tackle the problem. yesterday was supposed to be family day. it was called family day, but three people stabbed 38 knives coming across the, you know, coming across the, you know, coming out of people in the back of a car and a gun. exactly. >> look, i'm not glossing over it. you know, if you have 2 million people together, you're going to have some. >> which is why you need back control. move it, move it or move or move it to a space where you think there's an arguable case for moving. but last year, when actually because there was a mayoral election early on in the year when this was raised, at that point it was just seen as racist to talk about it and move it. >> you've mentioned that this is what it's all about, isn't it?
10:15 pm
you know, is it two tier policing? is it. it's not just two. it's two tier debating. >> it's two tier debating. >> it's two tier debating. >> it's two tier debating. >> i think the police are racist policing. can i just say on this i will come back to you on this. but i actually just want to. i've given the police a fair bit of grief in recent weeks, and i think with good reason, actually. but with this, i do think they've done a pretty good job because they play their place in an absolutely impossible situation given the numbers. my main point with this is that we are being gaslit by our politicians again and again and again. >> that's what i mean about two tier debating, because actually, if you just gloss over this, you never deal with prejudice, you never deal with prejudice, you never deal with the underlying causes of the criminality that we're talking about, the gang culture that's around there. >> what if this was a saint? what if this was a saint george's day parade? >> well, we know for a fact what would be happened. there'd be there'd be three times as many people lifted. they'd have the riot police in there. you know, this this police chief that i mentioned before, he said officers at the notting hill carnival are reluctant to make arrests. we know why. because it's a carnival to celebrate black culture, and they're frightened to look as if they're racist. and this is the problem with the met police. they're always frightened that they're
10:16 pm
going to look racist. it's a problem with police forces all over the country. they don't want to offend certain communities. >> let me deal directly with what you're saying, patrick. if there were 2 million people involved in a saint george's day celebration and you had this level of crime, i wouldn't call for it to be banned. >> and i don't think the government would also just think that in the break there, i actually watched some footage on twitter of someone's ring doorbell, of people queuing up to urinate on their front steps. >> yeah yeah yeah yeah. >> yeah yeah yeah yeah. >> so that's not no one's getting arrested for that. that won't appear in the crime figures. you know. but if you walk home, you know, i mean, i've got friends here in this office who live in that area, right? they're going to walk home tonight. and in order to get into their front door, they're going to have to wade through people. >> the cleanup will take most of this week. totally unacceptable. >> but if you have 2 million people in a confined space like that, you're going to have from an extreme minority. >> hence move it. hence move it. and then you agree with you. hence move it. and then you don't need to spend £11 million on policing, which by the way, also takes the police from other
10:17 pm
parts of london as well. >> well, i think i think another point is money is made out of this festival. i think some of that should be reinvested. >> that's absolutely right. >> that's absolutely right. >> it's commercial for a lot of people. it's no longer community there. >> why are they bringing knives and guns and smoking drugs openly in front of coppers? it's that you can't just put it down to say it's a fun day out. not when that is happening. >> not least when. when the when the local community are not involved. and it's not a community event because the local community are no longer there. they've all they've all shipped out. >> can you imagine the black people who live in notting hill? i think they'd be as disgusted as everyone else is as what's happening to their properties. what they're rightly so. rightly so. and you can't have coppers turning a blind eye because of the kind of carnival that it is. >> but the coppers aren't doing that. you know, they introduced a police chiefs. they introduced section 60 notices yesterday. so there's universal stop and search. they've said that anyone with a face mask, they can ask for it to be removed. and if they don't remove it, they're arrested. >> i just i just look, i'm trying to finish how i started on this. you know, if i'd have been introducing something here where if we'd, if we'd have had
10:18 pm
a rap sheet. like what? the met police put out both tonight and last night, and there was that level of criminality. we will be getting a national address from our prime minister tomorrow. fast tracking people through the courts. everything ain't going to happen. ain't going to happen. and i think that's just not. by the way, can i just say i'm not actually calling for it to happen? i'm just pointing out the fact that it's not. and that is a bit hypocritical in my view. but anyway, there we go. metropolitan police deputy assistant commissioner ade adelakun said we are tired of saying the same words every yeah saying the same words every year. we are tired of telling families their loved ones are seriously injured or worse. we're tired of seeing crime scenes at carnivals. there we go. coming up at my press pack , go. coming up at my press pack, my wonderful press pack this evening, we're going to be picking through tomorrow's newspaper front pages, and they'll be nominating their greatest prisoner union jackass. but next, isis have claimed responsibility for a syrian national carrying out a mass stabbing in germany that was on friday. we saw that taylor swift had to cancel concerts in vienna. we did also have an asylum seeker who stabbed an elderly man to death in this country while he was out walking his dog. i'm just wondering if it might time for the refugees. bngade brigade to hang their heads in shame.
10:22 pm
gb news. welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now, over the past few weeks, we have seen some absolutely atrocious attacks across europe. three people were killed and eight injured during a mass knife attack in the german city of solingen. isis have claimed responsibility for that, and german prosecutors said that the man involved, israel h, had given himself up to police and admitted to the
10:23 pm
stabbings. well, he's now been charged and, you know, shock, horror, it does turn out that he came from a home for refugees that was searched on saturday. der spiegel magazine cited unidentified security sources saying that the suspected killer had moved to germany late in 2022. he was indeed an asylum seeker, and, well, let's have a little look at some of the other crimes committed here in the uk, shall we? we've got abdul ezedi, the man who attacked a woman and two children with alkali in clapham, granted asylum here after he, quote, converted to christianity. i will politely say that he apparently did have a muslim funeral though. asylum seeker nakouzi, who was jailed after he attempted to stab his 71 year old solicitor in the chest. a small boat migrant, mirwais nasiri, was jailed for more than five years in april after he attempted to sexually assault a female student in exeter. we also did have that chap outside a hartlepool , chap outside a hartlepool, hotel. didn't we also stabbed a dog walker to death in the early hours of the morning? he'd
10:24 pm
passed through, i think 11 other european countries before, you know, we decided to give him asylum here, which was good of us, wasn't it? well in light of such circumstances, i am just wondering whether or not the refugees welcome brigade should be a little bit ashamed. joining me now is human rights lawyer, doctor shoaib khan. doctor shoaib, look, thank you very, very much , should the should the very much, should the should the refugees welcome brigade hang their heads in shame, making us all less safe ? oh, we have got all less safe? oh, we have got you on silence. i'm afraid, doctor shoaib. sorry about this. oh well, it's all right, i will. i will fill for time whilst we get doctor shoaib sorted. but it is a concern, isn't it, for everybody. which is that, you know, do a lot of those middle class luvvies who stand outside there with their banners, actually understand what necessarily is going on? i mean, it was a horrific attack in germany on friday. i can't help but note that it also happened at a quotes festival for diversity. and, you know, again and again and again, we see that people who have legitimate criticisms of those kind of things or concerns are silenced. doctor shows back in the room.
10:25 pm
fantastic stuff. should the refugees welcome brigade doctor shoaib hang their heads in shame ? shoaib hang their heads in shame? >> hi, yeah, i'm not quite sure who that. you know who that entails. the refugees welcome brigade. but if you're basically talking about the international community or anyone there, you know, for instance, you set up the refugee convention or the un or others who support the fact that we, you know, grant refuge to people fleeing persecution or war, if those people then. yeah i mean, i don't think they should at all. i mean, i think they're actually, you know, speaking up for the most vulnerable around the world. >> what about the people who commit terror attacks? >> yes. well, what about them? i mean, how many millions, tens of millions of refugees, asylum seekers do we have around the world? and how many of them commit crimes? so, i mean, i think isn't that true for any part of the population, whether it's white people or, you know, if we're going to be in a different religious groups, different religious groups, different races, everyone. so, i mean, i don't think you know, we need to go around banning people, especially, in fact, you know, criticising or condemning people who support those certain groups, but i think , yes, groups, but i think, yes, i mean, i mean, that's the point.
10:26 pm
yes, there have been this i mean, but also we have to look at the role of the media, the role of certain politicians who obviously, you know, revel in this when this, you know, such a case happens and indeed when many times when this case hasn't happened, why should just have interest? >> no, no. stop. sorry. just out of interest. why should we waste a single second looking at the role of the media, revelling in the idea that three people in germany conceivably had their throats slit by an asylum seeker? why does it matter what the media say about that? what matters is the fact that we had an asylum seeker there who went on a knife rampage. not for the first time, may i add, doctor shoaib? >> so? so if it wasn't an asylum seeker, would their immigration status or the colour of their passport even be in the news? would it matter? would anyone care? the point is, you know. yes, of course it would . yes, of course it would. >> but no, it would, wouldn't it? of course it would care. it just seems, in a way, a bit more egregious that time. and time again, we see someone who enters again, we see someone who enters a continent illegally as well , a continent illegally as well, who is given a lot of charity for that person who is given a status to be able to allow to
10:27 pm
stay going to a festival of diversity and behaving in that way. and i think anyone would have to agree that that's quite an egregious affront to humanity, isn't it? >> no. i mean, what would be an egregious affront to humanity? >> sorry, did you just say no? >> sorry, did you just say no? >> i said, no, i don't think it is. i mean, i think what would be an egregious affront to humanity is if we said yes. well, that reason we're not going to be granting people asylum or we're going to be reconsidering or reviewing our asylum or refugee laws. the point is, people who are to just clarify, sorry, i really have to be clear on this. >> i think we all deserve it. as you're a human rights lawyer. yeah. and you've just said that you don't think that an asylum seeker killing three people with a knife at a festival of diversity in germany is an affront to humanity. >> oh, i thought you were saying that if we don't review or look at what the rules and what the asylum seekers. you know, what then? is that in front of humanity? no. of course. i mean, it's a tragedy. absolutely. what happened? i don't think, you know, i mean, in fact, i think it's quite offensive when people, you know, have to go around actually condemning those things. i think it's understood
10:28 pm
that, you know, any civilised, decent person would condemn that, but i think the main thing is, i mean , as with anything, is, i mean, as with anything, you know, bad cases make bad law. and i think that's something that again, politicians specifically, whether in government or opposition, just jump to jump to whenever there's a crime, whenever there's a crime, whenever they think something has to be done before anyone can start blaming fingers at, you know, the media, politicians, anyone. the point is, look, this is what we're going to do. this is what we're going to do. this is what we're going to review. and that's the thing. i mean, i don't think we should even if we are going to, i don't think we need to be reviewing for instance, the refugee convention or international humanitarian. how many people have to die? i think this is probably just out of interest. >> .gov how many innocent people would have to die before you thought maybe we should start reviewing our asylum policy or our refugee policy just out of interest? >> i mean, i don't think there's a number for that, is it? that's just like saying, you know, are we going to start banning people leaving their houses or how many people have to die on the road before we start banning people driving cars? >> no, because we have laws for that, don't we? you see, so we have drink driving laws. we have seatbelt laws. we have laws for people with mobile phones,
10:29 pm
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. >> we have very we have we have very few laws. >> well, well, currently we basically don't have a border at one end of europe. do we? and then we have free movement pretty much throughout europe . pretty much throughout europe. so it's that kind of very basic thing where i think maybe the law could have a slight update. all right. so do you not think maybe, maybe now we should start having a little look at that doctor show? >> i mean, firstly, the point i was trying to make is that now is the worst time to do that, because like i said, you know, when there's been a tragedy like that, when there's been something we're going to jump to conclusions, we're going to come up with some drastic, you know, awful, counterproductive law that's not going to work. i don't have to jump to probably the worst time to do that anyway. but secondly, in terms of the, you know, you were talking about any gaps in the law. so yes, we have murder laws. we have rape laws, we have counter—terror laws, and those laws apply to anyone. they shouldn't matter or differ. we shouldn't matter or differ. we shouldn't discriminate against people on the basis of their immigration status, shouldn't matter if a person commits a terror act or someone commits a murder, the same law should apply murder, the same law should apply to them. and this person for whatever reason, he went on, you know, committed this heinous , you know, committed this heinous, condemnable crime. so the law of
10:30 pm
homicide is what should apply. yeah. >> just just to be clear, we shouldn't actually take any steps whatsoever to protect ourselves further. so we should just we should wait for them to commit an attack and then treat them like any other citizen. okay. as opposed to maybe, maybe doing something to stop them getting there in the first place. >> i'm not sure what more we can do . i mean, to be honest, we saw do. i mean, to be honest, we saw under the tories, you know, absolutely ridiculous plans. firstly, we were going to fly them off to rwanda and then , you them off to rwanda and then, you know, there were talks about no wave machines in the channel. let's overturn the boats. i mean, you know, let's send them to was it a volcanic island a few thousand miles away? so, i mean, i think i mean, i don't know what the plan is. the point is, you know, you don't really want that to be a plan, do you, doctor? >> no, but no, but this is where it all kind of falls down, right? so. so you're a human rights lawyer. do you do you represent asylum seekers ever? do you represent people who are, you know, conceivably in a position where they might be looking to get leave to remain in a country? is that is that an aspect of your. >> i have, yes. >> yeah. fine. so it's not really in your interest, is it,
10:31 pm
for us to have a particular plan? you know, this is this is the thing, isn't it? it's not really in your interest. >> i would absolutely love to have a particular way where in fact and again, i say we. but human rights or immigrant rights campaigners are the first people to say we need to because the current system is not working. no one says it works. the point is, the most desperate people are dying in the channel. >> yeah, there's two, there's two. yeah but there's two ways of looking at human rights, aren't there? which is either we should just let everybody in and then, you know that that could be their human rights, couldn't it? or people saying, well, hang on a minute. maybe we need maybe we need a bit of a border. could i just ask this is a genuine question. can i just seriously genuine question on this. you know, when you represent somebody and then they you really fight for them, right? and you really fight for them, and they might have been rejected once or twice and, you know, you get them in on that third go. right. do you ever lose a wink of sleep at night wondering what if, what if i've put people at risk there, >> no . because the point is, >> no. because the point is, whether on the third or the hundredth attempt, if we get them in, that means a judge or them in, that means a judge or the home office or the secretary
10:32 pm
of state have accepted that life is at risk or at risk of persecution. so for me, at that point, that's the point. if a client comes to me and he's saying i'm a risk of persecution, the home office hasn't considered my case. they've not looked at my evidence. they're sending they're going to deport me. and then a judge agrees with me that they are at risk of persecution, then. yes. i mean, i think that's a job well done, really. but secondly, we're talking about changes to the system. it depends what. but the point is, for instance, what we did with the ukraine, obviously those were refugees and asylum seekers, women and children. >> yes. okay. exactly. yes. no, 100%. i will be with you. i just did a section before i would happily have a serious conversation about whether and dare i say it, i don't know this for sure, but it does sound like from our conversation that this might apply to you. whether or not the boats full of afghan men of a certain age where maybe they could fight for the women and children in their country, whether we should be having a conversation about whether we stop accepting more of them and we start accepting more of the women and the children themselves, but we do set up flights, then, of course, it's going to be women and children if they're going to have to, but the taliban are not going to let them leave. look i'm going to
10:33 pm
have to i'm going to have to knock this on the head doctor. siobhan. look, i know i'm going to have to knock on the head and, you know, look, i know i don't have to wish you this because, you know, you obviously sleep very soundly every single night, despite everything else, but i do i do hope you have a good night. it's. doctor shoaib khanis good night. it's. doctor shoaib khan is a human rights lawyer. coming up, my panel give their nominations for greatest britain and union. jackass. oh, and. and what's this? >> we nearly missed a flight because we had all this. and it's this kind of segregation. and you. you feel like some kind of like untermensch lorraine kelly. >> there likening post—brexit passport queues. i think it sounds like, anyway, to being a little bit like a jew in nazi germany. bit weird. plus, tomorrow's front pages are out tonight. i'll give you the very first look at
10:36 pm
10:37 pm
after the police community resolution. so i think we'll have a chat about that with the panel have a chat about that with the panel. and keir starmer says downing street is back in public service. well, it's interesting given some of the things we've spoken about. let's go to the times police have given up on punishing shoplifters . massive punishing shoplifters. massive drop in official enforcement figures . okay, good. and figures. okay, good. and starmer, there is one of the times i'll bring back trust in politics. that could be an awkward day for him tomorrow. couldn't see it because the lines of questioning the guardian revealed staggering rise in anxiety among children. and they also have these big tribute, as all the papers do. to be fair to sven—goran eriksson. thank you sven. you were always passionate, caring, calm and a true gentleman. and thatis calm and a true gentleman. and that is a tribute from david beckham. the daily express farage warns of shocks to come in labour budget. nigel farage has warned of more shocks to come in labour's first budget makes a huge backlash for axing the winter fuel payments. and come with us over to the i now safety fears that british care
10:38 pm
giant owned by kuwait, despite £500 million in taxpayer cash. slightly leftfield story to go off out here, but probably an important one nonetheless. apparently significant fall in safety standards at one of the uk's largest care providers since being bought by a kuwaiti state fund. voyage care, it's called. they provide care for some of britain's most vulnerable adults. that's a concern. the mirror. don't be sorry. smile. it's been fantastic. the moving last tv words of sven—goran eriksson days before he passed away. and i'll finish this off with the metro again. that's just a big tribute to sven—goran eriksson there. don't be sorry. smile. it's been fantastic. i think it's a classy way. a classy way to go. really? from. from sven. there. so. yes. all right, well, look, i'm going to reintroduce my wonderful panel here, and i'm just thinking about probably really starting on what's on the front of the telegraph. really which is, excuse me, violent criminals allowed to just say sorry. so, a bit more detail on this before i go to you, carol.
10:39 pm
police guidance says that community resolutions should be restricted to low level crimes, and that the perpetrator, sorry, can accept responsibility for the crime. offer some form of compromise. which sounds, i suppose, all right if you steal a gnome out of someone's garden. but apparently we are dealing with sex offenders here. >> yeah, well, i mean, they're going to say sorry, aren't they? if that's going to get them off the thing. no, it's, you know, for every crime there is a victim. and the victims have to feel that justice is being done and for most victims of crime, they want to see the person punished and they want to see the person rehabilitated . what the person rehabilitated. what they don't want to see them is, is getting away with a let off. and that's exactly what that is. you know, you'll say sorry for anything. you know, i smashed you in the face. i'm really sorry for that. and you know, i raped you. i'm sorry for that. no, it's just sorry is just not good enough. there has to be some kind of punishment for the victim. >> yeah, okay. i mean , i >> yeah, okay. i mean, i suppose, you know. all right, this might be happening now, but isuppose this might be happening now, but i suppose this started under the tories, paul. >> well, i mean, there is an element of restorative justice that you can have alongside the
10:40 pm
punishment, alongside the deterrent , because re—offending deterrent, because re—offending rates are way, way , way too rates are way, way, way too high. and actually there was always an argument in the conservative government between, first of all, rory stewart when he was present minister. and if you remember, he was he threatened. he said he was going to resign if he didn't bring down numbers and drugs in prisons and these kind of things. and alex chalk, i think, tried to do the same thing about shorter sentences and not having custodial sentences for people that have done lighter crimes because you got into the prison places situation now, but not sex offenders, not violent crimes, not these kind of things. i did worry that that article was written specifically to wind you up, patrick, though i did see that. >> i mean, there is a thing. >> i mean, there is a thing. >> there's become a thing now where, like every day i'll, you know, i'll open the news websites or i'll do it. and my first reaction is, oh, oh, you know , but but yeah, so, but it know, but but yeah, so, but it is an important issue. but it's hugely, hugely important. i think there might be an element of justification for it, bill, because 147,000 people accused
10:41 pm
of sex crimes, violence, weapons, possessions are handed community resolutions. >> i mean, there's a case for community resolutions. i mean, i'll give you an example . for i'll give you an example. for drug offenders where i think we're too easily sending people to prison. but sex crimes , to prison. but sex crimes, violent crimes, people carrying weapons of course they should have a custodial sentence . and, have a custodial sentence. and, you know, this is under the government's previous the previous government's watch. i recognise we are now in power. we need to get a grip on this. >> yeah. it's just this is something that. >> yeah i mean unequivocally started years ago didn't it. and it needs to be it needs to be rectified hopefully. and i'm going to wiz us on a little bit because there's quite, quite an interesting story here. and it sparked a lot of debate over the weekend. this i know people were talking about it in their own homes and stuff, so i thought i'd i'd bring it to the television. tv presenter lorraine kelly gave an interview on times radio, in which she described the, quote, embarrassment she feels about going on holiday to europe after brexit. we've got a little a little lesson here as to what
10:42 pm
she feels about passport control. >> we nearly missed a flight because we had all this and it's this kind of segregation and you, you feel like some kind of like untermenschen. absolutely heartbreaking. and i still don't understand you know, i'm trying to get over it, and we're trying to get over it, and we're trying to sort of all, you know, try to work this out. but this is awful. it's absolutely awful. and it's yet another layer, you know, all this nonsense about taking back control and it's all going to be much easier. and here we are. it's going to cost people more money to go on their holidays. >> yeah. look lorraine's moaning there about how awful the passport queue is , is a little passport queue is, is a little bit interesting because there's actually a twitter account called where is lorraine? and it's gone viral after it started keeping tabs on how many times the tv star presented her own show, and according to the number crunching, it appears that she's only been on air for 58% of the programme's this yeah 58% of the programme's this year. so look, the cynic in me would suggest that maybe she quite likes queuing for holidays. and i know that she does also come out and say she has to look after her mother and
10:43 pm
things like that. and i'm sympathetic towards that. but i would assume that she does also maybe spend a bit of time abroad. i don't know, but it's also the word untermenschen. i think it is . i'm not sure my think it is. i'm not sure my pronunciation of that. yeah. but it's like underling, isn't it? it's what the nazis called the jews. >> it's a subhuman thing, isn't it? the jewish chronicle rightly picked it up because, you know, describing it as a term for subhuman. the nazis used that actually, though, when she goes on holiday, she might notice the passport gates to that end. but she might also notice that the uk after brexit have decided to allow eu citizens to use the epassport gates. the germans, the french and other countries could equally choose to do the same. >> yeah, i've known her for a very long time and she's a lovely woman and she will be mortified at the fuss over this. and i'm sure there'll be a big apology at some point tomorrow. but she has to realise when you start talking about nazis and untermenschen, that that queuing up in a passport queue and the jews and the had to queue for something else, and it wasn't a passport queue and it's very insensitive and a bit silly and she will realise this tomorrow
10:44 pm
and i'm sure she'll apologise, but you've just got to, i think you've got to be very careful when you're using phrases like that, because, you know, we all know you can't compare queuing at a passport queue to nazi control . control. >> i think that's true. she was certainly right to call out the massive inconvenience which is a result of brexit, and it's going to get worse in november when the european union starts fingerprinting people. but to use phrases like untermenschen, which has a specific meaning in nazi germany, the people who were regarded like jews as subhuman, i think lorraine will regret that. and, you know, i think she will probably apologise. >> okay. all right. well we'll is it on? and there's another story there about kirstie allsopp that i think i might, well, i'll just raise it now. i'm not going to have too much time to discuss it at the moment, maybe after the break. but tv presenter kirstie allsopp has hit out after she was reported to social services. yes, seriously, reports social services over letting her 15 year old son go inter—railing around europe. now. allsopp said that her son oscar, obviously
10:45 pm
went with a friend who had already turned 16. >> presumably he was called hugo, but we don't know that for sure. >> she went on to say sorry. >> she went on to say sorry. >> she went on to say sorry. >> she went on to say that it was absolutely sick and she'd been reported. >> and if we're afraid our children will also be afraid, so let it go. >> i mean, look, it's divided opinion. the idea that she let her son go abroad. >> if my parents had done that to me, i've not done that to me, but allowed me to do it, they'd have been wrong because i would have.i have been wrong because i would have. i would have died. but but obviously i'm not kirstie allsopp son, and she presumably knows her son better. and i think the idea that social services have been called when we've got everything else going on in the country is possibly a little bit silly. but anyway, coming up, my panel nominate their greatest person at uni and jackasses, and i think i've
10:48 pm
now to the rest of tomorrow's front pages. there's just one left for you, and it is military training . cut back to fund pay training. cut back to fund pay rises on the daily mail. military training. cut back to fund pay rises. now, at first reading, when you see that headline, if you keep it on the screen there for a second, you would think that maybe this is just for all the public. so why are we cutting back on military training so that teachers can get more money, train drivers mick lynch and his mates can get more money, but when you read the first couple of lines of this story, it appears it appears to indicate that this is so people who are already in the military can get a pay rise. so we're going to cut back on training other members of the military or new members so that the ones we've already got can get paid more. is that that's my takeaway from it, is that, as you just said before, as we were talking about this, why can't we do both? >> you have to we in the when you're looking at the way the world is at the moment and our country's security, you've got to do both. you've got to fund defence properly. >> but look, i'm a former minister of state for the armed forces. and what i know about
10:49 pm
the senior military is they're incredibly good lobbyists for the ministry of defence budget. this is the run up to the budget. and i think it's that kind of briefing and lobbying thatis kind of briefing and lobbying that is to put pressure on to increase their spend. it's interesting you say lobbyists bill the increase in spending in recent years has been terrible. >> there's been very little increase in military spending. so they're not that good lobbyists are they. yeah. >> but there's been huge waste under successive governments. the procurement programme, which is a big drain on the ministry of defence , is an absolute of defence, is an absolute scandal. and the senior military are responsible for that. >> oh okay. all right. well we'll we'll watch this space won't we. but i think we've got a bit of time to do this now. so it's a bit of time to do this now. so wsfime a bit of time to do this now. so it's time to reveal today's greatest britain and union jackass. here we go. all right. okay so we're gonna let this one breathe a bit more tonight. carol, who is your greatest britain? >> well, mine is kirstie allsopp, because i think it's absolutely right. she let her son go away. he was weeks away from being 16. she said he was a smart boy and she. she knows her son better than anybody else. but what gets me is this the
10:50 pm
little snitch person who was reported her because she does not know kirstie allsopp. she does not know her son. and yet the social services have come in and they've put this boy on a register and they've told her that if there's another complaint and now that this snitch knows the case, she might make another complaint in six months time. now, you know, if social services concentrated on the children who are being battered and abused and murdered by people, well, then. then i get their roles. >> have to investigate any complaint that is put to them. you know, there was no sanction made against kirstie allsopp, you know, period. >> this was done maliciously. yeah, that may be true. and they should not be. >> well, i'll come back to the fact, the fact that kirstie allsopp son will be able to vote in a few weeks time. if labour have their way at 16, they can trust people to vote for them, but not actually go into railing. >> my kids were a bit like patrick. i wouldn't have let them go into railing. i won't let me go down. >> 16 no, you're right, you're right and that's it. but you know. but by the same token, i did go to school with lads who
10:51 pm
100% could have gone into ellie glaisyer. >> it would have been i was hitching, hitchhiking up the m1, you know, when i was 15, 16 sort of thing. but i probably wouldn't have wanted to vote. yeah, exactly. and that's why you rempe. >> it was. it was a getaway for a safe seat. all right. okay, fine. >> good start . go fine. >> good start. go on. fine. >> good start . go on. sorry. >> good start. go on. sorry. here's your greatest britain. >> paul sven—goran eriksson is my token brit for today, you know, i think the equivalent of gb news in mexico, philippines, and cote ivory coast will be saying the same thing because he managed them after the uk, after england. but of course, he didn't take them two three quarterfinals. and what i like about sven as well is his, not his, his private life, which was also splashed around in black paper at the time. but but his approach to life, actually, you saw his quotes at the end there. you saw he had a phlegmatic, upbeat approach to life. he enjoyed what he did . he enjoyed what he did. he instilled that sort of inspiring view in other people as well. >> also his openness about dying. yeah, i think , you know, dying. yeah, i think, you know, that was really confidence boosting . yeah, yeah. boosting. yeah, yeah. >> no.
10:52 pm
>> no. >> fair enough. i mean, i would not be like that about dying. i would not be saying it's been a blast. i'd be. you'd go screaming into the dark, screaming into the dark, screaming and saying, this is not fair. why me i would do. yeah. >> in fact, those those would be your final words. you know, you end up with someone with something really profound. your headstone is, as carol maloney throttled the nurse , she throttled the nurse, she shouted, why me? why me? we're going. bill, who's your greatest present? >> it's manette bailey, the 102 year old world war two veteran who went for her first skydive yesterday . absolute legend. she yesterday. absolute legend. she described it as a bit scary, but really, i don't do fear . it's no really, i don't do fear. it's no good. she also said to stay young, you always need to try something new and i think, you know, for that kind of confidence and the bit of crazy britishness, she's she's my greatest no good stuff right how. >> now. >> i have to decide these couple of hours before that's got to get it. >> oh, she should get it. >> oh, she should get it. >> i'm trying to remember who i went for, i think. oh, it's sven—goran eriksson. >> oh, there you go. there you
10:53 pm
go. we're still still. it's still a good result. >> i mean, i don't. sorry, sven, but i might have. i might have gone the other way if, if we'd have if i'd have maybe had my time again. you know what? so well done, sven. right. okay. >> so, who's your union jackass? >> so, who's your union jackass? >> well, not surprisingly, it's lord waheed alli, the man, the labour peer, who is in exchange for some very major donations to some very prominent hypocrites in the labour cabinet, including a new wardrobe for our prime minister, >> he's been given unrestricted access. >> he's been given unrestricted access . i can't say the word access. i can't say the word access. i can't say the word access. access to number 10, which is shocking. you know, he's had a past. how many more people have got a pass anyway. he should. yeah. >> sorry. no good? no good. now, we are a bit pressed for time. >> kerianne stevens, who is a discredited, disbarred solicitor, because she went out basically on the run after not paying basically on the run after not paying for her kebabs and other meals as well. and it is. she's someone that can actually pay for this afford, presumably. i used to be the hospitality minister. she should be supporting the hospitality industry, not taking away from them. >> you're very weird story. that very weird story.
10:54 pm
>> you're very weird story. that very weird story . and, bill, go very weird story. and, bill, go on, a collective union jackass. >> the water companies who, according to a telegraph investigation, have been pouring excrement into our rivers in 60% of england's hotspot beauty spots. and i just think for dereliction of duty and responsibility, there is the union, jack asked, and the government needs to get a grip. >> one of the most egregious things you can possibly. i've just dumped a load of sewage into a beauty spot. >> it's horrific. >> it's horrific. >> okay. today's winner of the union jackass is lord alli. actually, although, again, i will stress, lord alli is not here to defend himself. and everyone is innocent, including labour party until proven guilty. if indeed they are right. that's enough of that, sir. thank you , thank you, thank sir. thank you, thank you, thank you. i had a great show tonight. thank you to everybody who's been watching and listening. headliners is on next. for a much more detailed look at some of the stories, both inside tomorrow's papers as well as on the front of the book. i will be back with you from 9 pm. tomorrow. i'll see you then . tomorrow. i'll see you then. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb
