scandal. i'll have all the reaction to the pm's doom and gloom speech, plus . there was no gloom speech, plus. there was no mention in his speech of police officers being violently attacked amid gun and knife crime at notting hill carnival. more evidence of two tier care. also tonight, get it right. >> how do we get it straight ? >> how do we get it straight? what do we want? pay restoration. when do we want it ? now. >> well, the doctors are now revolting over the bma's warped gender ideology , which is gender ideology, which is possibly a step in the right direction. i'll bring you tomorrow's newspaper front pages with my wonderful panel. it is columnist and broadcaster esther krakow, director of the centre of migration and economic prosperity, steven woolfe, and political commentator jonathan lees. oh, and find out what happens next here. as a circus bear finally snaps. get ready britain. here we go .

britain. here we go. it's keir starmer emerging as a massive authoritarian with no opposition and a huge majority. next . next. >> patrick, thank you very much. the top stories this evening. the top stories this evening. the prime minister has warned the october budget will be painful. but he says the country will have to accept short term pain for long term good during his speech in downing street. this morning, sir keir starmer warned things will get worse before they get better. and he said next week's return to parliament will not be business as usual. he also addressed the recent riots , saying they showed recent riots, saying they showed the cracks in our society after 14 years of populism and failure. the prime minister also reiterated economic growth is the government's top priority. >> i promised that we would get a grip on the problems that we

face and that we would be judged by our actions, not by our words, i said before the election and i say it again really clearly today. growth and frankly, by that i do mean wealth creation is the number one priority of this labour government. >> in other news, the ministry of justice has confirmed that only 100 spaces are left in male prisons in england and wales. it comes as the number of people sent to prison has reached record levels. in july, the government set out legislation to reduce the amount of time inmates must spend in jail before they're automatically released from 50% of their sentence to 40%. in a bid to manage overcrowding, a ministry of justice spokesperson has said. the new government inherited a justice system in crisis and has been forced into taking difficult but necessary action to ensure we can keep locking up dangerous criminals and also protect the public. a

man has been charged with murder after officers stopped him at notting hill carnival detectives had issued an appeal to locate kamaal williams, who was wanted in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 53 year old man. he will appear in court tomorrow. that's as three men have been arrested over the stabbing of a 32 year old mother at notting hill carnival, which left her in a critical condition. the woman was attending the family day on sunday with her young child when she was attacked. the metropolitan police says it appears she became caught up in the middle of an altercation between two groups of men, but it is unclear if they were known to her. in total, 349 arrests were made over the carnival weekend for a range of offences including violence, sexual assaults and 60 attacks on police officers . and mark police officers. and mark zuckerberg has admitted that facebook and instagram were wrong to censor posts about covid during the pandemic. and he was wrong to bow to pressure.

he says in a letter to a us committee investigating online content moderation , mr content moderation, mr zuckerberg said senior white house officials repeatedly pressured the company after us president joe biden was inaugurated in 2021. he said that facebook made some choices that facebook made some choices that it would not have made today. that it would not have made today . and those are the latest today. and those are the latest gb news headlines. for today. and those are the latest gb news headlines . for now, today. and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. more in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> it looks more and more like sir keir starmer might be an incredibly authoritarian man. there were signs of it before the election , after he faced the election, after he faced very strong allegations that he threatened speaker lindsay hoyle over a gaza ceasefire vote when he was in opposition. he wanted harder , faster, longer lockdowns

harder, faster, longer lockdowns as well, didn't he? he's appointed sue gray, as well as his chief of staff, and she's already faced bullying allegations and claims that she brought some staff to tears. now, in the wake of the southport attack and subsequent disorder, he appeared to lean on the judges to give out long sentences, were able to demonstrate the criminal justice system working speedily. >> so yesterday you saw the sentencing of individuals who've been involved in disorder days ago, some of them getting sentences as long as three years. that sent a very powerful message. >> the home office then appeared to commit contempt of court by already finding everyone guilty, despite them not yet having a trial. now we've seen a marked increase in facial recognition technology being rolled out as well, haven't we? and today, when faced with the very serious allegation of cronyism even borderli corruption, he gently dismisses it . it. >> most of these allegations and

accusations are coming from the very people that dragged our country down in the first place. so you'll forgive me if i take that approach to it, but i'm not really going to take lectures on this from the people who dragged our country so far down in the last few years. thank you. >> today we witnessed something thatis >> today we witnessed something that is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. okay, claiming that things are so unbelievably bad because of your political opponents that it justifies starmer taking really extreme action going forward. >> but i have to be honest with you, things are worse than we ever imagined. things will get worse before they get better . worse before they get better. i'll have to turn to the country and make big asks of you as well, to accept short term pain for long term good. that difficult trade off for the

genuine solution. >> it's actually quite a skilful tactic that because that allows him to get away with lying in the run up to the election, he can claim that the reality has changed and that what he promised then does not apply now. it also allows him to ignore his own role in the economic mess , borrowing £3.1 economic mess, borrowing £3.1 billion to pay the unions while callously taking winter fuel payments away from pensioners and then that's how he treats the media. isn't there in the run up to the election, he needed gb news viewers to for vote him. so he courted you. now he doesn't. so he ignores you. he's answered one of our political editor, christopher hope's questions. just one time out of five press conferences since becoming pm, and today it looks like ofcom will get more powerful. they suddenly need emergency powers to crack down on so—called misinformation onune on so—called misinformation online now. hey look, some people will say that was a bonng people will say that was a boring speech by a boring man deaung boring speech by a boring man dealing with the boring business

of getting britain back on its feet. >> and if you don't like that, you don't like britain. if you don't want him to succeed, you don't want him to succeed, you don't want him to succeed, you don't want britain to succeed. >> other people might think that keir starmer is becoming increasingly authoritarian, while wielding a big majority. and no opposition. and that is concerning stuff . let's get to concerning stuff. let's get to my panel this evening. it's columnist and broadcaster esther krakow. we also have the director of the centre of migration and economic prosperity, steven woolfe, and we also have journalist jonathan liz and esther. i'll start with you on this. i mean , i have you on this. i mean, i have quite significant concerns, in case you couldn't tell about how authoritarian keir starmer actually is, the more we get to know him in power. >> well, i think authoritarian is probably the best word because i don't think anyone expected this sort of sort of institutionalisation of our bafic institutionalisation of our basic freedoms. >> right. so this whole kind of it's technically called depoliticisation, which isn't actually the removing of politics, but removing key institutions that are central to

politics from political actors, from political influence . so by from political influence. so by saying you have, you know, ofcom gets to decide what's misinformation, what's hate? well, the british public that it affects don't get any get to decide because ofcom is free from the influence of the public, just like, you know, the bank of england and all these institutions that make key decisions on the lives of people in this country, but are removed from actually any sort of accountability. and this is what i call lazy politics, because it removes politicians from having to make those difficult decisions, from having to listen to the public, from having to have rigorous debate and what in the long term happens is you see people disengaging more and more from politics. they think, what's the point? because we vote for one thing, we don't get that politicians used to blame the eu. now that we're out of the eu. now that we're out of the eu, they say, oh, we have to relegate it to ofcom or we have to relegate it to the bank of england, all these other institutions. so people just think, what is the point? and more and more britain becomes unrecognisable. the idea of having some external body deciding what is misinformation or hate, and then potentially having the police show up at your doorstep when you can't even have the police show up for a burglary. isjust

even have the police show up for a burglary. is just going to drive britain down a dark path. and unfortunately, i think keir starmer has really got it wrong here. >> is he on a power trip? >> is he on a power trip? >> oh, absolutely. but i think all politicians are on a power trip who are in that position of power. and as a prime minister. but my concern is there's a systemic institutional authoritarianism that's coming across our political elite. it's been going for a number of years, as esther is quite rightly said, the use of organisations like ofcom, the bank of england and all these varieties of quangos, quangos that are coming out as though these people are the great and good. actually, they're the poor and the weak. they're the stupid and the weak. they're the stupid and the weak. they're the stupid and the arrogant. they're the snobs of our society who look down upon people. anybody in those positions of power and should actually be removed. and ihave should actually be removed. and i have no respect for those people . i've met many of them at people. i've met many of them at dinner parties. i've met many of them at institutions who say, look at me, i'm trying to help the world, but actually you're not. the thing that you dislike the most is the general public. >> you see, the thing is, it would even be that bad people who think for themselves. >> and that's why you hated

brexit. that's why you hated the referendum. because you believed you made those decisions and all the manager. keir starmer is doing and that's all he is, is a managerial class. all he's trying to do is manage all these institutional, systemic snobs that are running these non—governmental organisations and think tanks. >> we've been on air for a few minutes. we've had a jonathan lee's eye roll. i'm going to i'm going to just fire it over to you, jonathan. just say, look, you, jonathan. just say, look, you know, quite arrogantly just swatting away quite serious allegations of cronyism and corruption, the kind of which would have bogged down the tories for, for months and months. no doubt they're batting that off, you know, batting off not taking questions from us here @gbnews when what we were going to ask him, as i'm pretty sure he will have known, was, have you done anything at to all consider cutting down on immigration since we hold all of these protests? is he actually quite dangerously authoritarian? >> no, i don't think he's dangerously authoritarian. also, stephen. authoritarian. stephen i don't think that people were. i don't think that people were. i think we can have good faith arguments about brexit. okay. i

have good faith arguments about brexit, about why people for vote brexit. can't we just accept that people on the remain side might not all have been snobs? who wants to put down the working class? they might actually thought it was in our interest to be saying those people in the institutions, running them. but there's no evidence that ofcom was not a pro—eu organisation. >> i think we just i think i think what he's referring to, it's just it's a silly it's just it's just it's a silly it's just it's just it's a silly it's just it's just a it's just distraction. >> look, i don't look as i've said to you many times, patrick, i'm very prepared to criticise starmer. i think he's done well. i think he's doing wrong. i think he's naturally quite an authoritarian person. i don't think he can become the head of the director of public prosecutions without having a slightly authoritarian streak, and i think that he's been incredibly ruthless in how he's treated the left of his party, for example. that doesn't mean that every single decision he takes as prime minister is going to be wrong. and i thought it was important today that he said his government was not going to be perfect for example. >> so there are things he's warning us of his authority. >> there are things. >> there are things. >> there are things. >> there are things in his speech that i agreed with. there are things that i think that i think that were wrong. and i

think that were wrong. and i think it would be it would be silly of me to kind of just take a tribal position and just try and say that everything he did was right. >> i think. i think the bigger concern here is the homogeneity of the kinds of people that are in these non—governmental, non sort of governmental institutions. these quangos, these bank of england's, these, these bank of england's, these, these ofcom's because they all think the same and they're not accountable to the british public. those are the two main issues.i public. those are the two main issues. i don't if all of those people reflected the british public's opinions in equal measure, and they were accountable to the british pubuc accountable to the british public who give the, the, the government the power to even give these people any sort of authority that would that would be fine. but you see people getting more and more removed from politics because they know the type of person they're going to meet. >> in these ofcom is ofcom is obviously accountable to the government. ultimately that's not you know, it's not a government to the people know exactly the government. >> can i just come back in here because i just want to keep it quite focused to the things he said today. and i think that there was for me something straight out of the authoritarian playbook, which was i'm going to stand here now, i'm going to overegg how absolutely, catastrophically awful everything was before blame everything on my opponents. i'm not saying everything was great. far from

it. but the extent to which he's now saying we could have had no idea it was as bad as this. and now the promises i made to you when i asked you to vote for me. don't apply anymore. we're going to have to rip everything up and start again and that to me is that to me is. >> and it's also dangerous. it's also disingenuous. it's dangerous. >> but it's also dishonest because he did have access to the obr's records. they did have access to the government they've had through his chief of staff, the ability to understand all the ability to understand all the documents that related to the documents that related to the economy behind that as well. so for him to say that the things were worse than it actually is untrue. >> it's also ahistorical. >> it's also ahistorical. >> well, the obr did produce a letter that said that actually they didn't know all the details. >> but it's also things had actually gone and been implemented by the conservatives. >> i think it is. >> i think it is. >> see, the problem with it is that to an extent, though, patrick, the conservative party did that themselves when they said that labour left a note saying there was no money left when they came in. so we have to watch this. but it is dangerous for people to say, i've got to change everything and therefore

i'll ignore what i say. >> and none of the promises he made matter, which is the bigger issue. >> but that's not true, because even today it is. it's not true, though, is it? because look, i, i think that any kind of threat of austerity is completely wrong. it's not the answer. it won't deliver any kind of desired outcomes. if there's one thing we should have learned from the coalition, it's that. why is he doing. they're not going to actually break manifesto commitments. they're not going to raise vat or income tax or national insurance that has been that. starmer reiterated today that would be suicidal to do that . suicidal to do that. >> so i assume that there will be suicidal to take away the winter fuel payments. >> i think it's suicidal. i think it was a mistake. i think it was suicidal. >> can i just ask this? you know, there's the idea now that keir starmer currently doesn't have an opposition basically for a couple of reasons. both parliament is not sitting and the tories are in a complete mess. and reform aren't big enough and the lib dems aren't in opposition, are they? i don't know where they are at the moment. right. so there's that. >> there's that, there's that side of it. >> right. so, so there's no opposition to anything. he's got a big majority he can force things through. but can i just just round us off on this

discussion by i actually just thought that was catastrophically awful leadership. today we have a bloke who is leading this country who stood up outside his own house in his back garden, called the entire media. their the world's media will have been watching it. and he told everyone how flipping awful britain is and how it's going to get even worse. why would anyone in their right minds, with a bit of money or a bit about them, stick around here? well, that is the opposite of what you want from a leader. >> he didn't say the country was bad. he said it had been governed badly and had been left in a terrible state. >> which is true. we're going to get worse now. >> this, now this. i disagree with, this. i disagree with i think that you need to give people hope. we have an entire generation in britain now who have never known any kind of hope, who've just who've who. >> i would encourage to leave, who don't think that every single generation, pretty much the last 100 years has thought we're going to have it better than our parents did, and this is the first generation that's basically become habituated to the fact that we're not going to have it worse. >> for the last 25 years, people have not had hope in this. >> well, i think it's particularly since the end of since the crash. >> well, well, it's prior to that. it's the end of the labour party then we've had a couple of

financial crashes, then we've had covid, then we've had the devastation on our economy caused by the ukraine war being told constantly, and we're constantly told it's really bad to have to do something about this. but then we look across into the united states and we see how they're flying, flying. the difference between them and us is palpable. if most people had the opportunity to go to the united states and get a job over there, they would they would hand on heart absolutely more money over there in like i've seen builders over there that were paid the same level as bankers over here. >> you look, you know, you want a leader and you've got james o'brien, who's fair play. you know, i know it sounds very often coming out and taking that that stance, which is that's a bonng that stance, which is that's a boring man delivering a boring speech, getting on with the bonng speech, getting on with the boring task of government, etc. i would argue that wrapped up in all of that were some untruths, actually was quite an authoritarian streak and a lot of misery and doom and gloom. and i don't know if that's what we really want from from a leader. but anyway, coming up, thousands of violent criminals, including sex offenders, were let off with a little sorry last year or sorry about all of that. i didn't really mean it, but will labour now get a hold of

lawless britain? former lbc political editor theo usherwood is offering his expert analysis shortly. he's also going to address a social media storm that was caused over the weekend involving him. but first, as the tories slam this budget warning from starmer, there is a budget coming in october and it's going to be painful . was the prime to be painful. was the prime minister there lying about the state of the economy to justify tax rises? former tory mp miriam cates goes head to head with labour councillor brendan chilton. it's live and next. stay

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now our labour lying about the state of the economy. it's time now for the head to head. it's time now for the head to head . during his doom and gloom head. during his doom and gloom address to the nation, chuckles prime minister keir starmer paved the way for tax rises in october's budget with this bleak message. >> but i will be honest with you, there is a budget coming in october and it's going to be painful. we have no other choice, given the situation that we're in. those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden . yeah. the heavier burden. yeah. >> oh gosh. okay former pm and outgoing tory leader rishi sunak responded by saying keir starmers speech today was the

clearest indication of what labour has been planning to do. all along. raise your taxes and tory leadership hopeful candidate kemi badenoch said. starmer's quotes dishonest analysis of the economy won't wash with the british public. the pm and chancellor rachel reeves have both repeatedly claimed that the tories left behind a £22 billion black hole. so is the prime minister now lying about the state of the economy to justify his radical economic taxation, to go head to head on this, i'm joined by former tory mp miriam cates and labour councillor and ceo of the independent business network , independent business network, brendan chilton, both of you. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. miriam, is keir starmer lying? and if so , why? >> i don't think he's lying. i think he's right that our economy is in a very difficult state. but i think his analysis of why we're in trouble is wrong and therefore his solutions are wrong. and i think if you listen to what he says, but then pay attention to what the labour party's actually doing, they're talking about growth, growth , talking about growth, growth, growth. but what they're actually doing is

redistribution. and those are two very different things . and, two very different things. and, you know, the labour party and the left traditionally have been about redistribution. they think taxation is there to equalise rich and poor. and that's a perfectly respectable political point of view. but the problem is, if you haven't got anything to redistribute , which we don't to redistribute, which we don't have at the moment, all you're going to do is make the whole country poorer. and my fear is that although he's saying he wants growth, what he's actually doing is penalising wealth creators who already bear an enormous burden in taxation. i think the top 1% of earners pay 30% of all the income tax that the government takes in. they were already bearing a big enough burden. and if he goes further and further down that route, all he's going to do is penalise wealth creation, then everybody will be poorer. >> yeah. and it is on that point, brendan, that i will bnng point, brendan, that i will bring you in, because if he'd have stood on a manifesto pledge of taking the winter fuel allowance off pensioners, he'd have lost the election, wouldn't he? he didn't do that. and now he's doing it. and i think that's a lie, isn't it? >> well, i think when you look at the winter fuel payment issue, most pensioners i've spoken to that were in the

bracket who are going to have that winter fuel payment removed, say they don't need it. i mean, why does , for example, i mean, why does, for example, sir elton john need a winter fuel payment? he doesn't. why does his majesty the king need a winter fuel payment ? he doesn't. winter fuel payment? he doesn't. they're extremely wealthy individuals . yet this universal individuals. yet this universal system, which, frankly, we can no longer afford. >> because you didn't tell us he was going to do it during the election campaign, though, brendan, did he? he didn't mention it. >> well, of course, of course, when labour come into power, when labour come into power, when labour come into power, at the election, they uncovered the state the economy was in and the obr have confirmed of course, with the letter that was published very recently , that up published very recently, that up to 5 billion extra was not allocated for by the previous government. and so when you come in, you have to deal with the realities you face. and for us to have carried on willy nilly and said, oh, all is well, i actually think it's quite refreshing to have a prime minister that's prepared to stand in front of the nation and 90, stand in front of the nation and go, do you know what, everyone, we've got to tighten our belts. we're in for a rough ride for a while, but at the end we'll get to where we need to be. all

right. >> but, miriam, i do put it to you that he also appears to be ignonng you that he also appears to be ignoring his role in it. you know, we all predicted this. he would come in, rachel reeves would come in, rachel reeves would come in, they'd say, they've looked under the bonnet of the nation now, and they've found, you know, rats living in there, and it's a complete cesspit. and we're going to have to actually do things that were much more extreme than we ever thought. but but actually, we don't know if that's particularly true. is it? i mean, he's made it worse. £3.1 billion worth of borrowing last month alone just to pay his union mates. >> absolutely. and what he's done is, and what rachel reeves has done is given in to the pay demands of the union. and again, lots of the public will say, well, nurses, teachers, they deserve pay. of course they do. and we'd all in an ideal world, love to pay everybody more. but the reality is that this country hasn't got enough growth. it hasn't got enough growth. it hasn't got enough growth. it hasn't got enough. we don't produce enough. we don't have enough wealth in order to be able to pay those people more. and so all we're doing is indebting our country further. but i think the problem that we have is that actually the economic problems that we have in this country are as a result of a whole political consensus of a whole political consensus of more than 30 years. and one of more than 30 years. and one of the big problems we have is a huge amount of debt covid debt that starmer wanted more and

more of qe, quantitative easing from the financial crash that both major parties supported, and actually the debt based economy that we now have is not the conservatives fault. it's not labour's fault . it's the not labour's fault. it's the whole political class's fault, if you like. and actually, unless we're going to be honest about that and say as a country, we're living beyond our means in an ageing society, we can't afford the nhs as it is, we can't afford pensions as they are. we're going to have to have to have a discussion about how we tackle these systemic issues . we tackle these systemic issues. then fundamentally, the debate will be dishonest if we don't acknowledge those things. and just to say, well, it's the tories fault, we're going to fix the nhs. it's so shallow, it's not meaningful. and i think people know that it's not true. >> but if i had just been elected and i realised that actually i didn't ever have a proper plan, the first thing i would do, brendan, to try to mask that , is to deliver a huge mask that, is to deliver a huge press conference saying that the situation is now completely changed because the people who used to live in this house, it turns out that they did

everything even worse than we everything even worse than we ever thought. and so i'm going to have to draw this one up on the back of a fag packet. he never had a plan, did he, brendan? >> i don't agree, patrick. i mean, the labour party have been in power now for just under two months. they've already committed to massively overhauling the planning system , overhauling the planning system, which will drive massive house building in this country, which we desperately need. it's not going to happen overnight. you can't undo 14 years in two months. the second thing labour have done is set up gb energy , have done is set up gb energy, which is currently at the moment, securing the financing to make us energy independent on that. >> brandon, sorry to interrupt you mate, but you know, on that they said they had a fully costed plan to make sure our bills didn't go up. that was one of the promises that went out the window last week, wasn't it? >> well, just say on that patrick of course, this is just again been in two months. ed miliband's announced this. it's currently being set up again. you know you can't undo 14 years. in two months it's going to take a little while. and i think most people listening to this will realise that in two months you can't undo 14 years. thirdly, we've been criticised for saying that, you know, there is a consensus in this country

when keir starmer stands before the people and says we can no longer afford winter fuel payments. he's criticised for taking money off pensions. you think, you know, can i just can't afford that. >> but he can afford huge public sector wage rises that aren't just a one off. but as a year on yean just a one off. but as a year on year, and then pensions, which are 40, 50, 60 years into the future, that's all implicated in what he's done. but i come back to the fact that the problem is we don't actually own anything in this country. you can set up a great british energy company if you like. you can nationalise the railways. you can set up a wealth fund. but we've sold off all our assets to america, to the chinese, to the french. so unless you actually talk about the reality of the fact that that we are we don't make enough stuff, we don't export enough stuff, we don't export enough stuff, we don't own enough stuff. those are the reasons for our economic problems. and all he's doing. i'm afraid, is papenng he's doing. i'm afraid, is papering over the cracks, which absolutely is what the conservatives did, too. but we need a much more in—depth discussion in this country about the real causes of our economic problems. otherwise, we're never going to find the solutions. >> yeah, we do . and to be fair, >> yeah, we do. and to be fair, miriam, you know, there is, as

you have you know, i do think genuinely, deliberately articulated, you know, things things were done poorly, right, for the last 14 years. i don't think anyone's trying to trying to hide that too much. but brendan, one thing just final point to you, one thing that people don't seem to want to talk about, least of all sir keir starmer, is that apparently in the year running up to the election, there was a record number of mergers and acquisitions right from businesses i.e. people with a bit of wealth that thought they could sell off their businesses and coin it in before we get a labour government so that all happened and now we're expecting a record number of millionaires, 9500 actually, to leave britain within a year. who is paying all this tax? who's going to pay it now because it's going to be us, isn't it? it's going to be us. >> well, of course, the chancellor will be outlining her plans in the budget. but all i would say, patrick, on the question of how we ensure those people that have created businesses and created large wealth stay in this country is through a competitive tax system. now, labour have said they will not increase the number of taxes. now, what i think we need to be doing, and i think we need to be doing, and i think i've said this on your

show before and this is where i think we will all agree, is making the uk the number one place to invest and do business. but to get to that point where you can start lowering taxes, you've got to bring public spending under control. and at the moment in this country, the state consumes far too much spending in this country. i think we're at 50% of total spendin think we're at 50% of total spend in this country done by the government, which is enormous. that is not sustainable. and so by starting with these difficult decisions like reducing winter fuel payments, you start to get that under control. and that's what laboun under control. and that's what labour, i think need to continue to do. >> all right, both of you, thank you very much. we asked for a head to head. we got a head to head.the head to head. we got a head to head. the former tory mp miriam cates and labour councillor, as well ceo of the independent business network, brendan chilton, both of you. always a pleasure right. who do you agree with? is the prime minister lying about the state of the economy? spade on x says why wasn't liz truss allowed to let things get worse before they got better? yes. okay. all right, opficsl better? yes. okay. all right, optics i think, simon on x says, if his lips move, he's lying. right. okay. john says starmer

must go. please help. right, not a huge amount of chlorine in that swimming pool there, but there we are. your verdict is now in 93% of you think that the prime minister is lying about the state of the economy. 7% of you say he isn't coming up. the british medical association is actually facing a revolt now overits actually facing a revolt now over its extreme stance on puberty blockers, especially for kids. i'm actually going to speak to a nurse who is fighting back against trans ideology and our health service. this, i think, is a rare win for common sense amongst nhs staff. so i'll bnng sense amongst nhs staff. so i'll bring that to you next. keir starmer well, he arrogantly dismissed serious cronyism allegations didn't he. >> not really going to take lectures on this from the people who dragged our country so far down in the last few years. >> but will that flippant response get him out of lbc political editor is live and

next. welcome back to patrick christys tonight . now welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now keir starmer attempted to dismiss all accusations of cronyism at the heart of government after several labour loyalists landed top civil service jobs. have a look at this. >> most of these allegations and accusations are coming from the very people that dragged our country down in the first place. so you'll forgive me if i take that approach to it, but i'm not really going to take lectures on this from the people who dragged our country so far down in the

last few years. thank you. >> well, he can say all he wants, but the problem isn't going away. and i'm joined now by former lbc political editor theo usherwood. theo, thank you very, very much. i mean, there are quite serious allegations, aren't there? >> there are serious allegations . >> there are serious allegations. and there does seem to have been a tacit admission that something has gone wrong. and a couple of them were, particularly in caulfield. now he was appointed, he's an investment former investment banker, and he was appointed to a civil service role , a temporary civil service role, a temporary civil service role, a temporary civil service role to promote an investment summit in the uk. and it was for the treasury. and he donated a sum of to money the labour party. and now he's been downgraded to an unpaid voluntary role . and he's no voluntary role. and he's no longer it's no longer a paid position after following a new civil service advice and they haven't said labour haven't said what that advice is. but the advice has changed and that role has now been downgraded. the other one, the other particular, i think the really difficult one actually is lord waheed alli . actually is lord waheed alli. now he's a former, you know,

where he still is, a tv mogul. millionaire mogul and donated a lot of money to keir starmer's campaign and also to the labour party more generally, including £10,000 to liam conlan, who is the son of sue gray. keir starmer's chief of staff , the son of sue gray. keir starmer's chief of staff, and he was given a triple a all access pass to downing street. and that's particularly problematic because if you have somebody with access to power, then you need to know what their job is. and so the reason the rules exist is not just to protect the british public and journalists. so we all know what the rules are and who's there and who's advising the prime minister. the rules are also there to protect the prime minister and his chief of staff and his team from accusations that people are able to flit in and out of downing street and provide advice. and we don't know who's there, because when you have a democracy, it's not just about voting. we all accept that the prime minister can't do his job by himself, and he or and her or herself, or that he needs a cabinet and he's going to need advisers. but the point is, we know who those advisers are. we

know who those advisers are. we know who those advisers are. we know who is in the cabinet. we know who is in the cabinet. we know who is on the frontbench. we know who has the ear of the prime minister. it's all published and it's very worrying when you don't know exactly who is in the building, because this is in the building, because this is the thing. >> you know, it got me thinking this about, well, actually, is this about, well, actually, is this just a story? now, how unusualisit this just a story? now, how unusual is it that someone like, you know, lord ali would be given that triple a pass? you said there now they've they've said there now they've they've said it was a temporary pass just to help with the transition. >> but it's very unusual and is when i was talking to a friend of mine on the conservative side and we were talking about an individual called dougie smith, and he was given he was given a pass to downing street without a defined role for within rishi sunak's administration. and we didn't know exactly why he was , didn't know exactly why he was, why he was in the building or what he was doing or what advice he was providing, but actually the person who i was speaking with pointed out to me , with pointed out to me, duncan—smith didn't give any money to the conservative party. he didn't make any. he didn't buy any suits. he didn't buy any

glasses. look it's perfectly plausible, patrick, and i think we should be clear on this, that that lord waheed alli may have. he's got expertise and he may have been in there perfectly legitimate reasons, but the rules are there. so we know or the you may say he's keir starmer ipsis. he hasn't broken the rules, but the expectations are there. so we know why he's in downing street and what he's doing in downing street. and if he needs a role advising the prime minister, then the prime minister should just give him a role in the shadow on his frontbench. >> yeah. and i think as well he said, excuse me with, with ian caulfield it does look a little bit odd. again, it's that he's now kind of been withdrawn slightly. it's the smell test isn't it. of course it is. it's the smell test. and we're going to now talk about another big issue. right. so well lawless britain really isn't it a very simple sorry apparently might be enough to get you off a violent crime . so that's because police crime. so that's because police are increasingly letting knife and i think i mean incredibly, awfully sex offenders escape prosecution if they apologise in what's been described as a community resolution. so more

than 147,000 people accused of offences, including sex crimes, violence, weapons possession , violence, weapons possession, they can be let off with just an apology. no criminal record. that was in the year to march. and so doctor alison heydari of the police chiefs council lead for out of court resolution, said we've made it clear that out of court disposals are not to be used in serious cases. officers take into consideration all circumstances of a case. fine, but i think it will lead a lot of people to think, well, a weapons based violent sex offence is probably quite serious, but, go on. i mean, this this presumably has to stop. >> does it deal with the question of how? yeah. so obviously we heard today there's just 100 places left in male prisons across the across the estate, the prison estate. and i was speaking to charlie taylor, who's the chief inspector of prisons, a couple of weeks ago, and he was making the point to me that the prison system is like a bath tub, and you can either let the plug out or you can turn the taps off. and if

you let the plug out, then you're going to release prisoners early. and if you turn the taps off, then you just stop going. you're going to not put people into prison who've committed serious offences, and probably should be in prison. but the system is full. and keir starmer, you know, he was saying that would have happened. whoever won the election. so it's a very difficult one. but i think what's, what's noticeable about these numbers and it's not just you can build this as a sort of pressure on, you know, the prison system. but if you look at the numbers we're talking about 102, 102,000 of these cases and the pressure would be, you would imagine with numbers like that, not just in the prison system, but when a resolution, there's no court case. so you're then looking at the lawyers, you would need to prosecute these cases. the lawyers need to defend the cases where somebody decides that they want to plead not guilty and take it to trial. you're talking about a huge amount of resource to in get anywhere close to reducing that number. and obviously these are serious offences. and the point of prison is not just about a very important point of prison is to have a deterrent and to have retribution because people, if they commit crimes, should go to prison. but it's also there as rehabilitation. if people can

feel, well, actually, i can turn around and just say, sorry , then around and just say, sorry, then they're likely to go and commit a crime again. much more likely to go and commit a crime again. but if they can get into the prison system and they can take part in courses or therapy or whatever might help them to turn their lives around, then actually, there's a better chance when prisons do work, that actually they come out of prison rehabilitated and then perhaps they don't commit the crime again. and actually, we see some, you know, an improved crime statistics. >> well, well, well, we certainly need improved crime statistics. it feels as though anyway that it can't get much worse. now, look, theo, you faced a little bit of a reaction. shall we say, online for some comments that appeared on sky news over the weekend when you look at something like this, you just really worry about how it could be used by by those on the far right to, to stir up hatred, to look at this and say, well, here's the justification . justification. >> this is why, you know, this will be this will be jumped on by those on the, on the far right to say, well, there's some justification to our, our cause

and that's, that's, that's concerning. and nobody, you know, there's, you know, isis is a terrorist organisation. this is plainly being treated as a terrorist attack, as it should be. >> all right. so that was obviously in relation to a story that happened on friday, which was this attack in germany, where a syrian refugee asylum seeker killed three people and injured several others with a knife at a festival of diversity. now, look, i just wanted you to i appreciate it. >> no, i appreciate it. >> no, i appreciate it. >> i hope you do, because , you >> i hope you do, because, you know, i don't mean this in a sinister way or anything at all. i don't want you to come back to that because, you know, like, i know you a bit and i think the implication from that was, if you just look at that clip in isolation, that maybe, maybe the focus was, oh, i hope this doesn't whip up the far right as opposed to what, an awful terrorist attack. >> well, i called it a terrorist attack, and i condemned it as a terrorist attack. and actually, the you know, i'm not going to turn this into some sort of personal back and forth, but the clip was edited and at the beginning of my exchange on sky news, i called it a terrible event that had happened in

germany. so i'm unequivocal in the fact that what had happened was a terrible event. it was a terrorist attack and it was unfairly clipped. and i pointed that out. and you can see that on my twitter feed. the point i was making is that if you look at what isis, if you read the story, it was a story in the sunday express. and actually, i've got the sunday express fine newspaper, and they just reported it factually. right. so i'm not making this criticism of the sunday express at all. isis are referring to this individual, this suspect, as a soldier. it read like a recruiting leaflet for isis to say here, if you do this, if you commit something like this, you're a hero, you're a soldier. but it also read and isis don't care for muslims. they have no law abiding and 99.9999% of people, muslim people , they have people, muslim people, they have no truck with this. and isis don't care for them and they don't care for them and they don't care for them and they don't care of any reprisal attacks. what they are trying to what they're trying to do is they are trying to pick away at they are trying to pick away at the fabric of our society, the fabnc the fabric of our society, the fabric of our democracy. and they're doing that by trying to

provoke a reaction. and what they what they what they were doing, you know, what that attack was about is trying to provoke a reaction to have a to have a, you know, two extremes with isis or on the far right. and i don't care about isis and i don't care about the far right, the people i care about the people i because i love this country. right. these are these are the people i care about. and i don't want to get dragged into this. and i and i and i'm sure everybody @gbnews would share this sentiment i care about. let's just deal with isis to start off with, i care about young muslim men who might be at home isolated. it might be on their computer screens watching youtube, and they might see this and think, actually, i want to be a hero to i want to be a soldier, too. so i'm going to go and copy this. and i also care about young white working class men who might be at home, and they might get a message on their phone or a whatsapp or telegram saying, look at what happenedin telegram saying, look at what happened in germany. well, why don't why don't you come? why

don't why don't you come? why don't you do something about it? because if you don't do something about it, nobody will do anything about it. why don't you come down? we're going to go and protest down a hotel of asylum seekers. why don't we go? and why don't we go and have a. it might get a bit rowdy, but why don't you come down and join us at that hotel and have a and we'll throw something at the police, or we'll try and set fire to it. we're going to take the law into our own hands. you know, germany, this country, we are modern, mature democracies with effective intelligence services, effective police forces , effective judicial forces, effective judicial systems. the only response to an attack like this is to let those agencies get on with the job and bnng agencies get on with the job and bring individuals to justice. and if you're a young man and you're seeing that whatsapp from a member of the far right and you're saying, come down and take part in this and you go and take part in this and you go and take part in that, can you go and take part in that? right. you're a member of the far right and you're a racist. but if you make the decision that actually that isn't the answer, that's not the way to do things. and actually you're a law abiding citizen and yes, you you're worried about immigration and

yes, you're worried about the fact we're spending £7 million a day on asylum seeker hotels. and yes, you're worried about the fact that there are small boats crossings. you could be worried about all of those things. but if you stay at home and you say, actually, i'm not going to take part in the violence, i'm not going to go and attack a hotel. i'm not going to go and throw stuff at the police, then you're not a racist and you're not a member of the far right legitimate way, and you can voice an illegitimate way. absolutely. >> yeah, yeah. fair enough. theo, look. thank you very much, i hope. >> i hope that clears it up. >> i hope that clears it up. >> well, i think it does. and thank you for all of it. what what came before that as well. all right. so that was theo oxford, the former political editor at lbc. coming up, the medical association facing a revolt now over gender

okay. welcome back. so the british medical association loads of bad headlines have been out on strike all the time. but now a load of their members are revolting. why? well, because that cabal at the top of the bma

have decided to reject the cass report. and the people underneath them are saying, well, hang on a minute. we don't really agree with the idea of giving puberty blockers to kids. can you just stop it? joining me now is a nurse who is waging her own fight back against trans and gender ideology in the nhs after her trust allowed biological men in women's changing rooms. her trust allowed biological men in women's changing rooms . it's in women's changing rooms. it's lisa lockie, lisa, thank you very much. i'm sorry that we've been a bit squeezed for time here because of our last guest, but. that's fine. what does this speak to now, do you think? is there a change of ideology taking place amongst staff in the nhs? >> who knows, it seems to be some people are either on one side or the other. it seems to be, they're either for all it or dead against it. to be honest, i'm not. i'm not in either camp. i'm. i don't i don't i'm not against transgender people. i just want a policy thought out in our trust in the nhs , for to in our trust in the nhs, for to stop the self—id situation.

>> that's . and that is because >> that's. and that is because you've got a man using your changing rooms. is that right? >> yeah. yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> is that still happening . >> so, >> so, yeah, »— >> so, yeah, we, we've been complaining about it for quite a while, and i think our, our trust, of the they'd ignored us for so long that we've kind of, we've kind of had to consult, legal team and, and so we've taken it further, so we're waiting, we've got a procedural heanng waiting, we've got a procedural hearing in november. but, since i last spoke to you, which is like a couple of months ago now, we've had no support from the trust, none at all. they've supported the transgender person. the transgender person is still using the female changing room. we are now in a cupboard , we've just been given

cupboard, we've just been given some lockers. there's about half a dozen of them, i think two of them don't actually lock, don't work , but, but, yeah, so we've work, but, but, yeah, so we've we've kind of been, we've had no support, the transgender person was given, they were given , was given, they were given, special leave because of the stress we've also felt very stressed throughout this whole situation, but we just haven't been , afforded the same support, been, afforded the same support, unfortunately. all right . so. unfortunately. all right. so. >> well, look, lisa, i mean, it's good to touch base with you again. i am very sorry that we've been a bit squeezed, but i would love to talk to you again. and i think actually, what you've said there is successful. remind us to summarise, maybe the way that the people at the top of the nhs sometimes unfortunately think about it. that's the end of this hour when i come back. have we got a bit of two tier over the old notting hill carnival stay tuned for that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb. >> news .

>> news. >> news. >> good evening from the met office. here's your latest gb news weather update. whilst there is still a bit of rain around for some of us across parts of the south east, we're looking ahead to some hot weather tomorrow. that's because we're staying ahead of the front. that's lingering across parts of the uk at the moment. in the south—east, and so some warm or hot air pushing its way in, but where we're under the front as we go through this evening and overnight, there will be some more cloud and some rain. so particularly across parts of northern england, southern scotland. but also wales and the southwest. later on, seeing some rain as well. also some patches of mist and fog here in the southeast. because of that, warmer, hotter air temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount tonight. and in fact, even further north, not turning particularly chilly because of the cloud and some showery rain across parts of scotland and northern ireland. so across scotland, first thing, yes, there may be some heavier, showery bursts, perhaps clearing away, but on the whole for many it's starting largely dry. but some showers quickly moving into the far west of scotland. also

the far west of scotland. also the far west of scotland. also the far west of northern ireland, having some showers but dner ireland, having some showers but drier further east. and then that front lingering across northern england, bringing a damp start to the day here for some, and down western parts of wales and southwest england. also a bit of wet weather here. further east, though, lots of dry, sunny to weather start the day tomorrow, particularly across the midlands , east anglia across the midlands, east anglia and the southeast. and here it's going to stay largely fine through much of the day across the southwest. any rain is likely to break up and so it's going to turn drier here. meanwhile, across scotland and northern ireland, heavy, showery rain pushing its way in from the west. in the southeast , west. in the southeast, temperatures are going to be highest higher than today. highs of around 28 or 29 celsius. as we go into thursday, there will be more showers across parts of scotland, northern ireland, perhaps northern and western england and wales as well, but further south and east you have a greater chance of staying dry with plenty of fine sunny weather. temperatures won't be quite as high as tomorrow , but quite as high as tomorrow, but nonetheless feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine. and there's more fine settled weather to come for most of us as we go through the end of the

week. >> by by looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather

gb news. >> it's 10 pm. on patrick christys tonight . guns, knives , christys tonight. guns, knives, drugs and 60 emergency workers assaulted at notting hill carnival. >> a mindless minority of thugs. and i will not listen to those who exploit grieving families and disrespect local communities. >> now, that's not about notting hill. he's not said a word about that. that is keir starmer only caring about the far right. is this yet more two tier care. >> also, there is a budget coming in october and it's going to be painful. >> great. his economic promises

are crumbling. did keir starmer lie to get elected ? suzan holder lie to get elected? suzan holder ihave lie to get elected? suzan holder i have got some big breaking news for you. bang on the dot at 10:30 pm. tonight. it does involve brexit, but that's all i'm allowed to say for now. but i'm allowed to say for now. but i reckon it might get you all very, very worked up, so stay tuned. also, darts is bringing back walk on girls. yes, a victory for common sense and red cross and red crescent teams are delivering crucial support, helping people survive the toughest situations . tough toughest situations. tough situations like being misgendered, apparently. i'll tell you how the red cross has gone full woke on my panel tonight. it's columnist and broadcaster esther krakue, the director of the centre of migration and economic prosperity. stephen wolfe and journalist jonathan liz. and can you guess what happens when this bear finally snaps? get ready britain. here we go .

britain. here we go. keir starmer is not on your side. next . side. next. >> patrick. thank you. the top stories. the prime minister has arrived in germany hoping to strengthen ties with the country. and here he is pictured with the british ambassador to germany, gil galad, near the brandenburg gate in berlin. patrick will be speaking with gb news political editor christopher hope on this in more detail this hour. christopher hope on this in more detail this hour . well, earlier, detail this hour. well, earlier, sir keir starmer warned the october budget will be painful. but he says the country will have to accept short term pain for long term good during his speech outside number 10. this morning, sir keir starmer warned things will get worse before they get better. and he said next week's return to parliament will not be business as usual. he also addressed the recent

riots, saying they showed the cracks in our society after 14 years of populism and failure. the prime minister also reiterated economic growth is the government's top priority . the government's top priority. in other news, the ministry of justice has confirmed that only 100 spaces are left in male prisons in england and wales. it comes as the number of people sent to prison has reached record levels. in july, the government set out legislation to reduce the amount of time inmates must spend in jail before they're automatically released from 50% of their sentence to 40% in a bid to manage overcrowding, a ministry of justice spokesperson said the new government inherited a justice system in crisis and has been forced into taking difficult but necessary action to ensure we can keep locking up dangerous criminals and protect the public. a man has been charged with murder after officers stopped him at notting hill carnival detectives had issued an appeal to locate kamaal williams, who was wanted in connection with the fatal

stabbing of a 53 year old man. he'll appear in court tomorrow . he'll appear in court tomorrow. that's as three men have been arrested over the stabbing of a 32 year old mother at notting hill carnival, which left her in a critical condition. the woman was attending the family day on sunday with her young child when she was attacked . the she was attacked. the metropolitan police says. it appears she became caught up in the middle of an altercation between two groups of men, but it is unclear if they were known to her. in total, 349 arrests were made over the carnival weekend for a range of offences including violence, sexual assaults and 60 attacks on police officers . and after lots police officers. and after lots of speculation, british pop band oasis are officially reuniting nearly 15 years after they split. liam and noel gallagher are getting back together for oasis long awaited reunion with a worldwide tour next year. oasis, who released their chart topping album definitely maybe around three decades ago , around three decades ago, announced a series of dates kicking off their tour in

cardiff. and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. more from me in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . slash alerts. >> today we saw yet more evidence of two tier care. around 60 emergency workers were violently attacked by thugs and yobs at notting hill carnival. that's on top of gun offences, multiple stabbings, the open brazen drug use and the utter , brazen drug use and the utter, utter filth. there were some ring doorbell footage here, which is reportedly from over the weekend, which does show people using someone's front stoop as a toilet. and that went on and on and on. quite a few people did that, actually, not

just that particular lady. there was another one there. lovely stuff. yeah, that was just the things you see at carnival, isn't it really? in some ways, disgusting behaviour as carnival revellers there just use the stairwell as a toilet. all right. anyway. sir keir starmer has said nothing about any of that 61 emergency workers assaulted. not a word. a mother stabbed in front of her young child. not a word. remember when he said this about the riots? after southport? >> for 400 people now have been arrested, 100 have been charged, some in relation to online activity. and a number of them are already in court. and i'm now expecting substantive sentencing before the end of this week. that should send a very powerful message to anybody involved, either directly or online, that. >> so why will this labour prime minister not fast track prosecutions for people who beat up emergency workers at carnival over the weekend? i wonder why home secretary yvette cooper

tweeted this on august the 11th. she said, oh, there we go. police officers show great bravery keeping us safe. it's a disgrace. they were subjected to violent attacks. it's time to restore respect for the police. she was absolutely silent today. why was it the wrong kind of people who attacked the police for you? was it home secretary? are you too afraid of being called a racist? and the media wants to cover it up? okay, we have had two absolute corkers here from sky news. >> the atmosphere continues really to be brilliant, to be a party atmosphere. but of course we know , as we heard from the we know, as we heard from the police yesterday and as we've seen sadly in recent years, that occasionally amongst the nearly million people who show up, there are stabbings, there is knife crime. there were two men yesterday and a woman stabbed the woman, a 32 year old now in hospital in a life threatening condition. she was here yesterday with her child. and so the police have to balance that . the police have to balance that. keeping people safe, maintaining order on the streets, but also allowing people to have a great time. >> yeah. and then this today, as

well as several people are fighting for their lives in hospital. >> you've got around a million people who would have attended that weekend. i was certainly one of them. i was here on the sunday and the vibe that i certainly picked up was one that was celebrated in quite cathartic, really, following the racist riots that we've seen in the country over. >> yeah, it's all just largely peaceful stabbings, isn't it? largely peaceful ? yesterday largely peaceful? yesterday alone, there were 230 arrests, 49 weapons were seized, two gun offences, 37 emergency workers assaulted, multiple sexual offences, drugs, drugs, drugs. but it doesn't matter, does it? because now, even if you do commit a sexual offence, you can just say sorry in britain and you'll avoid prison . how can it you'll avoid prison. how can it not be to tear from sir keir? where's the press conference? where's the press conference? where's the press conference? where's the condemnation? where's the condemnation? where's the condemnation? where's the tweet from the home office telling everyone that everyone that they've already arrested is already guilty? where are the tweets from? the police publishing the home addresses of people that they've arrested. people don't feel safe because of the stuff that we saw

over the last two days. and we have a prime minister who won't even acknowledge it. do you think he's really on your side? let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. columnist and broadcaster has to krakow. we've got the director for the centre of migration and economic prosperity. it is, of course, the wonderful stephen wolf. and we're joined by journalist jonathan lees. esther, i'll start with you. i mean, that is, i think, just just overtly two tier, isn't it? i mean, why, why is he not even mentioning any of those things, those people who attacked emergency workers there, should they not be fast tracked through the courts in the same way the others were? >> i mean, i get it because obviously they have committed crimes and then they should face the full force of the law. i think keir starmer's logic is they're not the far right. this is one day we know it's, well, two days. we know that it's going to end. so there's clearly limits to this. but we have this conversation about notting hill carnival every single year. we have the conversation about the multiple arrests, the stabbings, the sexual assaults and all of

that. and usually what we see is we have people saying , don't let we have people saying, don't let that overshadow, you know, this shining example of multiculturalism excelling in britain and all of that. and then the other, the other side that say this is, you know, the largest street festival in europe over a million people. this is actually operationally a success for the metropolitan police. but i think even in the wider context, it's still frustrating because it's become the norm. it's like, oh, it's all great, but you know, a few people were stabbed. but don't worry, don't don't worry. because, you know, it's still operationally successful when you when you get people used to the idea that a few stabbings is not one too many, but actually should be the norm. that's when they get frustrated. no one is talking about, you know, cancelling notting hill carnival because i don't think that's. >> no, you couldn't even if you wanted to. and i don't want to see it. >> but the point is, we shouldn't normalise sexual assault. 230 arrests, people getting stabbed, all of that. >> it's not a nice conversation. >> it's not a nice conversation. >> it's not a nice conversation. >> i talk to people, particularly older british brits of caribbean heritage, and they say the carnival that they knew in the 70s and 80s is very different now. it's full of debauchery, people twerking on bus stops, people peeing in people's like in front of people's like in front of people's houses, all of these

things. and we can't even have a conversation about actually good behaviour. right? what does good behaviour. right? what does good behaviour look like? i dropped my cousin off at the carnival a few years ago and i said, if i see you twerking on a bus stop, i will drag you from there and send you to the village. >> what's wrong with twerking? >> what's wrong with twerking? >> why are you talking at the bus stop? that's not the household where she doesn't come from. a household where baring your bum cheeks in public for the world to see is acceptable behaviour. that's not how we raised her. >> it is. if you're on sky. >> well, well, i don't think that. >> i don't think that twerking is on par with knife crime. >> i'm not calling it on par, but i'm talking about a general criminality and general bad behaviour. i don't think that's a good thing at all. there are kids there. why should kids steal people's people's bum cheeks, i ask you, i just ask you this now, you know. >> right? this was a perfect opportunity for keir starmer or the home secretary to say thank you very, very much to the police who had to put up with an unacceptable amount of, of, of law breaking and disorder and violence, and anybody who is found to have attacked an emergency worker at notting hill carnival will face the full force of the law. instead, they said nothing. >> well, do notting hill gear,

nothing from keir get excessive been nothing from keir get excessive beer, nothing from keir? commit fear. nothing can from keir as long as it's from notting hill and that's the message he's sending. he's sending a very two tier system. as you said once again, you know here we are . if again, you know here we are. if you complain about immigration in this country, the full force of the law and more scarily, i expect serious if you sentence immigration, expect serious, serious sentences coming down from the judiciary. but here, as you said, the number of arrests which you know, par were those of the first couple of days of the riots of notting hill, exactly the same. i expected him to be saying exactly the same. we will be having our courts open tonight, and i expect serious because that will stop happening this year about this happening this year about this happening every single year. >> we have this conversation all the time. >> even the police officer, even one of the police officers at the met said he's sick and tired of saying every single year there's been this level of

violence. well, the way to stop it would suppose some kind of deterrent. i do put it to you, jonathan, that in wembley maybe. maybe they're two. they're maybe they're too afraid of being called racist to actually speak out against this shocking level of talking about it. >> i just want to clarify a point with stephen, people throwing bricks and moss and trying to incinerate asylum seekers. they're not complaining about migration . complaining about migration. complaining about migration. complaining about migration. complaining about migration is not going to get you. >> exactly. all of the complaining about migration is not going to get you a prison sentence . sentence. >> let's just. no, i'm sorry. >> let'sjust. no, i'm sorry. the tweet that got done yesterday wearing a flag and he stood there. >> i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry. >> in an english flag calling, calling, calling, calling for moss to be burned down is not complaining about migration. and it doesn't it doesn't serve you. i'm not saying he did it. it doesn't serve your cause to downplay what people are actually saying and doing okay. and that was not the same as notting hill. >> not the same, i think i think i think the point here is people are being arrested online for like sort of misspeaking or for wrong thing , but you have people wrong thing, but you have people assaulting emergency workers and the prime minister and my point was there is a distinction.

>> there are levels . and he >> there are levels. and he should be saying exactly the same as he pointed out, what happened during the riots is in the context of an unfolding national emergency where we didn't know how long a national emergency. >> jonathan, it was as esther herself has just pointed out, this is the notting hill is an event. the prime minister talking about it. i'm not in charge of the prime minister's comments. i think it would have been completely acceptable without a statement. >> you have to. >> you have to. >> i think it would have been completely acceptable for him or yvette cooper to put out a tweet. they didn't because, you know, it's a police matter in the riots is something that's happening and it's obviously more political during riots. >> i just ask you acceptable. >> i just ask you acceptable. >> that's the point. if you're going to try and make people feel safe in this country, if you're going to say, we're not tolerating assaults on, on, on emergency workers or any kind of bad behaviour, which we can all agree on, it doesn't look good when you only comment on it on 1 in 1 instance, i think can we can i make a really a really important point i think, which is that of course we need to condemn violence in notting hill and the scale of disorder. >> i don't think look, but also

we have to we have to take into account the sheer number of people who are there. >> but we're not the prime minister us condemning, but it's a separate point, though. >> if you look at royal ascot, there were 35 arrests at royal ascot this year. if you look at glastonbury, there were 36 arrests at glastonbury, but i didn't see mass action proportionally, proportionally, actually, it's almost as many arrests. >> well, it depends on the type of arrest though. but this is the thing the types of arrests at glastonbury, and probably it's not stabbing and sexual assault there. >> actually there are there are sexual assaults. glastonbury every year there are, as you see at glastonbury, for people snorting cocaine, which i don't agree, there are also sexual assaults committed glastonbury, but the scale is completely different. >> you're comparing apples and oranges. my argument is if keir starmer is going to be the man of law and order and the man who's going to keep britain safe, if you're going to say that people should be arrested onune that people should be arrested online and fair, wrong speak, or for tweeting things you don't like or whatever, it's not wrong. >> speak after you make it sound orwellian. it's not. >> but why wouldn't you just do it? >> is it not? is it not in— >> is it not? is it not as it? >> is it not? is it not as plain and simple as actually we did have condemn them both. yeah. we

had an awful situation involving some people who were definitely far right. we also had a load of other people who were just very concerned. right. but most of those people were white. and we had a prime minister who felt readily available calling all of those people out and calling them all sorts of names. and then unfortunately, over the course of the weekend, we had a festival where the vast majority, i would say the majority, i would say the majority of people there were ethnic minorities. and keir starmer and yvette cooper have not wanted to call out any criminality, nor will we see from the mayor of london who didn't see pat cullen mayor of london as well. >> we didn't see it from any councillors. we didn't see it from the labour. there was none of the media doing the same sort of the media doing the same sort of thing. and so there is it's becoming very clear to people in society whether we like it or not, that there does seem to be a very distinct element of policing , politicisation and policing, politicisation and commentary, when it only relates to poor white working class. >> i would just come vociferously disagree with you on that point. and, you know, i'm sure that everyone who's been arrested will face criminal that go through the same judicial proceedings as anyone

else. and i really do have to take issue with this point, patrick, about people complaining about migration. if you are joining a riot, you are not complaining. there are legitimate ways to complain to and protest and to express your views. rioting is not one of them. criminal damage is not one of them. all right. okay, fine. >> look, the overarching point that i'm trying to make with this is that there are two offences there that for me, on paper at least, were quite similar the attack of an emergency worker, the assault of an emergency worker. and i think one of them was highlighted a lot more than the ones that we saw over the weekend, which, as far as i can tell, weren't particularly highlighted at all. but it's a range of views there. thank you very much for it. coming up, we bring you a potentially big actually, i think almost definitely massive brexit announcement, which i will for some ridiculous reason only be allowed to talk to you about at 10:30, despite the fact that i've known about what it is all day. but anyway, walk on. girls are returning to the hockey to dance. they're doing a 180 on the old ban of the old walk on girls party disaster seems to like that. remarkably. there you go. all right. fantastic. well. yeah. is this a victory for common sense? we'll debate that after i bring you

the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. but first, after keir starmer warned things will get worse before they got better, why has his message of hope change so drastically since he won the election? did he lie to get your vote? stay tuned

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight. tomorrow's front pages are coming next, as

well as a big brexit announcement that i think is going to wind you all up somewhat. but first, keir starmer filled the nation with dread rather than hope at his press conference earlier today. i will be honest with you, there is a budget coming in october andifs is a budget coming in october and it's going to be painful . and it's going to be painful. >> we have no other choice given the situation that we're in. those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden. >> good grief. i mean, if that doesn't make you want to leave the country, then nothing will. what's happened to his promise of hope during the election? change, to change discuss this, i'm joined by labour party activist susie stride. susie thank you very much. well, it turns out chuckles there was lying to us to get your vote, wasn't he, >> no, i don't think so. i think a great leader is honest and truthful . i think people are truthful. i think people are tired, aren't they? of politicians that say one thing and do another thing. i think, you know , keir starmer is a you know, keir starmer is a straight talking guy and he's just saying we haven't inherited

a difficult economic situation. we're going to be truthful about that. and i think that is i think, you know, people want to hear the reality that is the reality. i agree with you. i'm sure there is a slight gloomy tone to that. but i keep saying this. we've got to give two months in office is not enough to have yet the impact that we're going to have. i actually do think there is hope, and i do think people feel there is a different atmosphere in the country. i think people do feel that, but maybe you don't feel that, but maybe you don't feel that. >> no. >> no. >> not really. susie, i like your optimism, but no, i don't. i'll be honest with you. no, i don't, i don't really feel. but can i just say to you, look, there's i understand this idea of like, oh, we've inherited. it's straight out of the playbook, you know, look at the mess i've inherited. it's far worse than i ever thought it is. oh, this is going to take more cleaning up than ever. but there are some decisions he has made, and i'm just going to play a couple of little clips here because this was one of him talking about about pensions. right. so this is this is keir starmer really talking about the pensioners.

>> he didn't want to means test the winter fuel payment. but it was a choice that we had to make. but let me be clear. i'm going to be really tough about this with the unions as i'm being tough with everybody else because this is part of the work we have to do well. >> so those clips side by side, there's him talking about the pensioners and the winter fuel versus him being quite tough on the unions, despite giving them whopping great big pay rises. i mean that has caused partly our economic mess and he is responsible for that. and he's not really telling us about that is he? >> yeah, i just don't think that's true. sorry. most economists in this country would say 14 years of a conservative government have led to where we are. two months of a labour government have not led to where we are now. if we have this conversation in 12 months time and we are not in a better place, i'm happy. and we are not in a better place, i'm happy happy and we are not in a better place, i'm happy. happy to eat some humble pie. you can replay this clip, but i don't think we are going to be in the same place in 12 months time. 14 years of conservative government is where we are now. it's like trying to blame keir starmer for the fact that we've got sewage in our

rivers, we have sewage in our rivers, we have sewage in our rivers because the tories did not clamp down and properly regulate those companies, which we are going to do . so you know, we are going to do. so you know, i agree with you in some ways i watched that speech. you know, it doesn't you know, he's wearing quite a dark suit as well. it seems a bit funeral like, you know, i just think he's trying to be refreshing. he's trying to be truthful. he's having that integrity of saying, actually, this is where the country is at at the moment. but we are going to build homes, you know, we are going to deal with nhs waiting lists. we are going to deal with sewage being pumped into our rivers, which actually is annoyed. a whole lot of people. and so it should do. and i think there is going to be change. >> but is that the way to sell britain though, suzy? >> you know, he was basically there saying, well, he literally said things are going to get worse before they get better. and i'm asking you to come with me on this journey. whilst you might have to dig deep and pay a bit more to begin with, but then we'll emerge into the sunlit uplands of keir starmer's britain later on. but the way he said it, it was just like, honestly, it was, it was it made me want to leave the country. and just on that note, suzy nine

and a half millionaires are set to leave the country within a yean to leave the country within a year, and there was a record number, apparently, of mergers and acquisitions of businesses in the run up to the election. so people with a bit of wealth and a bit of money looking to looking to cash in before we had a labour government, if you did have a bit of money, i.e. the kind of person who's probably going to end up paying more tax and get us all out of this hole, you would listen to that if you weren't leaving already, you would be now, wouldn't you? so. so who's going to pay for all of this stuff? you know, mr negafive this stuff? you know, mr negative here you know, moaning about how bad the country is. why would anyone with a bit of money stick around, i think, look, i think we've already been we've already shown that the business community is on our side. >> you saw that in the run up to the election. you saw these 100 businesses backing labour. you know , you don't get that if know, you don't get that if businesses do not have confidence in a government in a party. and i can tell you that because i can tell you what it was like under jeremy corbyn. and i'll tell you what, the business event at the labour party was pretty empty. and under keir starmer, it's packed. >> i do i do hate to do, i do hate to do this to you because this is, this is really, really

shocking timing. and you were not to know this. and i had just checked twitter in the break and did see this. so i do apologise to you, but the front of city am tomorrow is city sounds alarm over tax plans. expert warned that tax hikes will hit growth as the pm hints at pain to come. so they might have been all right with him in the run up to the election, but i think he has lost them now. >> i mean, ijust don't lost them now. >> i mean, i just don't agree with that. sorry, i just don't i think you know what lost them. what lost them was liz truss and kwasi kwarteng and they disastrous budget that sent the pound nosediving, you know, which we you know, it's really important you guys talk a lot about working people. working people pay the cost of that. i know people with mortgages, people that haven't had holidays this summer because their mortgages have gone through the roof because of liz truss, who's now, you know, darting around and having the time of her life. you know, i'm sorry, but let's put responsibility with responsibility needs to be put where it should be. and it is not a keir starmer score. and i am saying to you, and i really do believe this, that we should have hope in our hearts because i think great things are coming

for this country. best days to come in 100%. >> but you see, this is it. you. you you can sell it, suzy. you can sell it. we just had chuckles there in the downing street garden earlier on making me want to. >> well i won't say what made me want to do in case i encourage anyone else to do it. but suzy, thank you very, very much. suzy stride that the labour party activist. all right, well, look, okay, we've got loads coming up. i'll bring you the very first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. plus, i will take you to berlin, where our political edhon berlin, where our political editor, christopher hope , has editor, christopher hope, has some breaking brexit news for you. i don't think you're going to it, but you should

okay. welcome back to patrick christys tonight . now it's time christys tonight. now it's time to bring you the very first look at some of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. before i take you all the way to berlin . so the all the way to berlin. so the independent. well, here we go. it all starts. we will turn the corner on brexit and fix relations with the eu. the prime

minister is in germany now, and he's going to head to france for a quote once in a generation opportunity to strive for genuine , ambitious partnerships genuine, ambitious partnerships with europe. these are his words as he puts the uk on alert for a painful budget . and i've got painful budget. and i've got more detail for you on this shortly. the guardian time for the uk to turn a corner on brexit, says starmer, he is apparently going to be signing within the next six months a deal with german chancellor olaf scholz focusing on defence on trade , on immigration. this is a trade, on immigration. this is a this is a this is a new brexit deal isn't it. and the i starmer's plan for a softer brexit starts in germany today. prime minister will lay the groundwork for a better relationship. apparently he's going to sign this treaty, it's not a full trade deal because of germany's eu membership, but it is expected to cover market access in science tech innovation. there. we go. come

with you over to the times as well. now german deal to quote turn the corner on brexit, starmer is meeting olaf scholz to discuss a new treaty. and here for us in berlin for the breaking news that keir starmer is currently in germany, you know, making the first inroads into putting pen to paper on a brand new brexit deal, which, no, of course was not in any manifesto and no, as yet has not been able to be discussed in parliament. it's christopher hope, our political editor, christopher. fantastic. what's going on then ? going on then? >> haha. patrick. hiya welcome to berlin. the brandenburg gate is behind me . sir keir starmer is behind me. sir keir starmer is behind me. sir keir starmer is staying here. he's our prime minister. he meets with olaf scholz tomorrow. the idea here is to , to six months to work out is to, to six months to work out a deal , a is to, to six months to work out a deal, a treaty is to, to six months to work out a deal , a treaty with is to, to six months to work out a deal, a treaty with germany covering all sorts of areas to boost trade, deepen defence security, increase action on illegal migration and the like. he wants this to be a model of other other deals with other eu

countries as we go forward under this labour government, you know, the pm thinks privately that it's not reversing brexit, that it's not reversing brexit, that other treaties have done all the time. we've been trading with our our friends and neighbours on the continent for hundreds of years . and here's hundreds of years. and here's a case of strengthening those bonds, those bonds. but there's no question that tomorrow morning i think a lot of maybe tory brexiteers will be spitting out their cornflakes and dropping the marmalade . reading dropping the marmalade. reading those headlines you've read out just there, because there will be concern that this is going to tie us closer and closer to the european union to make some wonder, well, what's the point of brexit after all? >> well, no, indeed. and christopher, just staying with you. i mean, some of the detail that we've been i mean it's quite limited at the moment i suppose. but you know, will as you said, have a lot of brexiteers spitting out their cornflakes and being very, very worried about it, you know, and it's talking about a recalibration of our relationship with the european union. and it covers it seemingly, you know, quite a lot

of ground. so it says he wants to turn a corner on that. go on. yeah. go on. yeah. >> yeah. i mean, the news broke four minutes ago, patrick i mean, the detail there is detailed. it says here there'll be increased collaboration on market access , critical science market access, critical science innovation and tech , clean innovation and tech, clean energy trade across the north sea, supply chain resilience , sea, supply chain resilience, energy security and green transition. education, biodiversity and the environment thatis biodiversity and the environment that is a full waterfront of most key areas. you may want to talk about with another country. sir keir starmer is here. he knows all olaf scholz very well. i was there when they met on the last time on the margins of nato, the nato summit in washington dc, a very warm embrace. we will see them meet later on tomorrow. earlier, sir keir starmer was behind me at the brandenburg gate having a walkabout. i mean, he's clearly a person who he can do business with and he clearly sees this

deal with germany as one to set the benchmark for other similar deals that we i fully expect the uk to try and sign as we go forward through this five year penod forward through this five year period and what that means for brexit will be it will shake up the whole idea of what brexit is for us as we go forward. >> yeah, exactly. and it's on that now, christopher, at some point, i mean, i suppose it doesn't really matter does it now because there's a massive labour majority, but at some point will this have to be voted on in parliament? >> treaties normally are voted on in parliament, but it's not normally controversial because by the time they get to parliament, they've been agreed. of course, that treaty with the eu was signed off and agreed in a rush and detail filled in later. but it may well be that we don't see any detail of what's been agreed until it's presented as a fait accompli to parliament, and that could really stir the hornet's nest amongst brexiteers. i mean , amongst brexiteers. i mean, don't forget, sir keir starmer has always said we are not going into the single market or the

customs union. those are two things that are sacrosanct. the idea of sovereignty, he would say, isn't being touched by these agreements because we still remain outside of those two things. but by tying ourselves to the eu, to the germany , the biggest economy in germany, the biggest economy in germany, the biggest economy in germany, on certain areas , some germany, on certain areas, some will say this is reversing brexit in all but name. patrick. >> well, well, indeed, just one final one with you. if that's all right, christopher, because i know you've got a busy night and no doubt a day ahead. no, the context of this, keir starmer's popularity has dropped to i think i'm right in saying —16 now, —17 possibly. i know olaf scholz has got his issues, tories are. they're they're i know —16 now, —17 possibly. i know olaf scholz has got his issues, hasn't he? is there a wider hasn't he? is there a wider context of this? two, two. quite context of this? two, two. quite unpopular leaders, you know, unpopular leaders, you know, undergoing difficult times, relatively meeting to try to undergoing difficult times, relatively meeting to try to agree something . agree something . agree something. >> it's all relative. olaf agree something. >> it's all relative. olaf scholz gets on very well with scholz gets on very well with keir starmer. he's got his own keir starmer. he's got his own issues here in germany. i mean issues here in germany. i mean our prime minister, he's seven our prime minister, he's seven weeks into the job. he is down weeks into the job. he is down ten points. but look at the ten points. but look at the numbers. i mean feel that numbers. i mean feel that majority 171. look at where the majority 171. look at where the

tories are . they're they're tories are . they're they're tories are. they're they're nowhere. i think you know he's a relaxed prime minister. i was with him in the downing street garden earlier. i had my hand in the air for you, patrick. to ask the air for you, patrick. to ask the questions you want answered. but he wouldn't take my question. but he wouldn't take my question. but we'll try and keep getting these questions in and try and get him to address the concerns that we have @gbnews. >> look, christopher, just just on that now, you probably won't be able to see this because you're i don't know what your setup is exactly like that, but we are showing your tweet here. so this is you earlier with your handin so this is you earlier with your hand in the air. you know, and i think, christopher, what you did wrong there, if you don't mind me, me telling you right. i think you you made it very obvious that you were christopher hope from gb news. so my team here, what we did was we came up with a cunning plan for you. christopher, when you're out there and you've got to ask him a question tomorrow, we think you should dress like that. that is christopher hope. there dressed in full german lederhosen. okay and you will. he will not know it's you. he will think you're a local

reporter. okay. and he will go to you to get a good bit of local press in berlin. and then you rip the lederhosen off and you rip the lederhosen off and you say, have you thought about tackling immigration, prime minister yes. >> oh, we've lost his son. he's rafe ipsis. >> michael, i'm on the road . >> michael, i'm on the road. >> michael, i'm on the road. >> he's back. go on, christopher, carry on, carry on, carry on. >> that's why that. that's why you earn the big bucks. patrick christys. i'm on the road here earning a corn. but you're back there with your big ideas. you know, it's hard enough making a living here as a reporter. >> oh, brilliant. christopher >> oh, brilliant. christopher >> good luck. thank you for everything that you do. and keep going because, you know, you do great work for us here @gbnews. and good luck in berlin. all right. that's christopher out there. our political editor at there. our political editor at the brandenburg gate. >> right. okay >> right. okay >> so let's get stuck into this then. >> so, so it

then. >> s since it then. >> ssince theresa may. and ever since theresa may. and there's very much a huge element of what's happened in our politics about leaving the european union. that didn't really result in a proper brexit. yes, we left the parliament, yes, we left the commission. but the very fact that we stayed pretty much tied in so many ways, even through the treaty to eu rules and regulations, that's the fundamental element of whether we can go off on our own route and what will become clear. and it's already listening to way christopher has explained this in that press release. this is all about tying up energy , and all about tying up energy, and the car industry between germany and the eu is not a bad thing. no it's not. it's not a bad. it's not a bad thing. but in order to achieve that, there's going to be questions about how we align ourselves with the rules of the eu, which means removing ourselves from parliament's decisions, going back to statutory instruments and passing , wading through and passing, wading through committees again, because that is the only way that we can undertake this. and that does not mean brexit. that just means

alignment to the eu through the back door. >> one thing i will say, because jonathan, you're you're you're sighing again. >> yeah. because it's complete nonsense . brexit. brexit meant nonsense. brexit. brexit meant leaving the european union. no one. and my goodness i'm i'm having terrible triggering right now of our debates in 2016 to 2019 when i discussed this, a thousand 100,000 times. but brexit just meant leaving the european union. there was no agreement, even on the european union. well, stephen, i wish that we'd had that question answered. i knew what it meant in 2016. well, you might have, but certainly that we didn't augn but certainly that we didn't align ourselves. let me tell you something. >> we regulations, the british people, the british people didn't know and we know that because the brexiteers didn't know and the brexiteers didn't know and the brexiteers didn't know because they argued for different things. and no one in the european parliament, some people, stephen, let me please let me, let me say some people said that we could stay in the single market. >> some people said that we would be leaving the single market. that question was never resolved in the in the referendum. the referendum was simply addressing the practical legal question of whether we would remain a member or not of

the european union, and only 51.8% of people actually decided to leave, that it was a compromise. and my goodness, you got pretty much everything you wanted. we left the single market and the customs union. my side was fighting to keep both. >> i'm fine. and now esther, we are about to have all of those arguments again. now, aren't we? >> well, yeah. i mean, obviously we have to wait for what he puts to parliament, but what i suspect is happening is he's trying to carve out some sort of special relationship. and i know this harks back to the us, but special relationship, the eu with germany and france, and i suspect a few other big players in the eu, because one of the things i always said was from the from from its inception, the eu was too big, right? you can't have the kind of political and economic union that you have with with 27 member states with vastly different economies and with vastly different ways of working, the eu should have been restricted to the ten largest economies in europe, and it should have had a much more, sort of reasonable economic relationship. i think that's what he's trying to gerrymander here. but there are questions of

what the eu will allow, because gerrymandering . well, because gerrymandering. well, because would you sorry. >> why is he why gerrymander ? >> why is he why gerrymander? >> why is he why gerrymander? >> well, because it depends on what the eu is willing to agree to. because even though he's deaung to. because even though he's dealing with the largest member states, they still have to agree to it. the eu is still a separate body. >> oh well, we're going to we're going to we're going to find out a lot more about this in the coming six months, because that's the length of time they think it will take to sign this. so we will have to wait and see. i think for me it does beg the question, doesn't it? you know, is this actually, again, just a political thing in the sense of, you know, a germany and france more likely to now deal with. deal more likely to now deal with. deal, deal with it, deal with a left wing politician in a way they would never have dealt with a right wing politician. but we're going to break on this now. coming up, our dance organisers right, to bring back the walk on girls after they were banned six years ago. esther again weirdly happy about this. we'll debate that shortly and i'll show you what happens next here. as a russian circus act gets a grisly finale. but i'll have a few more papers so stay

all right. welcome back to patrick christys. now, it has taken me straight back to 20 1617. this in the break. the amount of brexit guff that we were just chatting to each other. anyway right? yes. if you have just joined us, keir starmer is currently in berlin. it looks as though he's about to sign some kind of. well, in six months time anyway, some kind of new brexit deal really, with germany and possibly france. but anyway, i'm sure you'll be heanng anyway, i'm sure you'll be hearing more on that on gb news tomorrow. it's time now to give you some more front pages, so i'll do that, we're going in with the metro. stars align. the wait is over. fans go crazy as oasis reunion confirmed. fantastic. the daily express. yes, it will be painful for britons elderly this winter. keir starmer says all right, the daily mail. finally, starmer comes clean. he'll soak middle class . so i read that right. class. so i read that right. he'll soak middle class. that's an odd turn of phrase, isn't it? am i missing something? am i missing something here? anyway, so keir starmer has been accused of plotting a tax raid on the

middle classes. so basically i think he's just going to hammer the middle class really. but anyway, the telegraph is still a middle class, middle class topic for another time . the daily for another time. the daily telegraph starmer's tax alert for middle england. yeah fine. they have decided not to go off the keir starmer announcement that was embargoed, weirdly, until 10:30 pm, which is that there's going to be a german deal with a softer brexit. so there you go. those are your papers. >> the middle class. right. >> the middle class. right. >> let me whizz on through a couple of stories that you might have missed today. walk on girls will return to televised darts for the first time in six years for the first time in six years for october's world seniors matchplay, so the world's senior dans matchplay, so the world's senior darts tour has announced that daniela alferi and charlotte wood will be their new ambassadors. the duo have been the most famous walk on girls before the practice was scrapped in 2018. and after their return was announced, both alferi and wood expressed their delight at coming back to the sport. esther, you have , you have esther, you have, you have expressed a keen interest in. yes. >> absolutely, yes. why all bnng >> absolutely, yes. why all bring all the beautiful girls

from sports back? well, because here's the thing . this is my here's the thing. this is my story. this is this is what traumatised me in my life . i traumatised me in my life. i went to see a boxing match two years ago, and there were no ring girls. and i expressed extreme anger because i was like, i paid for the cheeks. i didn't just come to see people get beaten up. i wanted to see beautiful women with their bum cheeks hanging out, holding, as you said a minute ago that you hated that stuff. >> no. >> no. >> hold on. >> hold on. >> excuse me. i paid to see the cheek. i paid it when it's free, it's fine for someone else's sister to go and do that kind of work, right? and also , there's a work, right? and also, there's a bus stop. there's a difference. there's a difference in the quality when you pay for it versus when you are gifted. >> free cheeks on top of a bus stop near wembley . there's a stop near wembley. there's a complete difference. >> all right. >> all right. >> anyway, you word for it . >> anyway, you word for it. >> anyway, you word for it. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> so the other cheek. sorry. oh, don't look back in anger. >> the point is, i just don't think it's fair to rob beautiful women of work because some feminist somewhere is gruntled that they can't do the same thing . i just don't think it's thing. i just don't think it's fair. i think beautiful women in sports go together like like

carrots and peas. >> right . >> right. >> right. >> okay, fine. exactly. >> okay, fine. exactly. >> stephen, so , i mean, how do >> stephen, so, i mean, how do you feel about dolls? walk on girls . girls. >> i don't really have a position, i think. >> yes, you do, i do. » ._ >> yes, you do, i do. >> i don't mind it. i think i'm perfectly happy if they want to earn the money from it and they're enjoying the work, then let them get on with it. what i do dislike is people just criticising them because they are women showing their femininity and earning earning a good honest day's crust when they don't want to do the other things that people want to do well, it's a job. >> at the end of the day, it's a job. but i don't know if anyone's holding a gun to their heads behind saying, you have to be a walk on girl. >> no, no. >> no, no. >> so let them do it if they want. >> not everyone can be a walk on girl as well. notice how lizzo is not a walk on girl. no coincidence, i think not. >> yeah and yeah. okay. and so, jonathan, i mean, you you you you're a fan of the walk on girls. you think this is a do you think this is a retrograde step to bring back to bring back, you know, the cheeks .

back, you know, the cheeks. >> bring back the cheeks. >> bring back the cheeks. >> i'm just thinking of i identify as a walk on. >> i've never not not i've never seen a darts match in my life. >> and i don't think i ever will. i probably never even. i don't think i'd even heard of this. you've never seen the working class nadhim zahawi. but, i mean, does it does it thrill me? no. i kind of feel that women have women. look women have the right to do this. and i think that actually that we should liberalise sex work actually, on this. if you go further down the route of that conversation, i think people have the right to do this. but i don't think in this particular context it sets a fantastic example for women in the modern world. oh yes it does. >> i don't think it's i don't think it's a brilliant liberation. >> i don't think it's a brilliantly feminist move. i think the women have the right to do this work. >> we can free the nipple. we should free the cheeks. >> absolutely right. >> absolutely right. >> freed all right. >> freed all right. >> i'm going to just kind of slowly wrestle our way out of the gutter now. and show you we're there, show you the high brow incident that took place at a russian circus. so this is the terrifying moment that a bear

appears to turn on its handler at a russian circus show. now, warning some viewers might find this distressing . this distressing. so that bear was made to, like, dance on a hoverboard and do all the stuff that you get at those kind of really horrible old school circuses, right? and that bear obviously decided one day it looked at the guy and was like, hang on a minute, you're in the cage with me. i can have you. >> was he did he was he was he cage fighting? >> that's proper cage fighting. is he alive? >> yeah. no one was hurt. sorry. my >> yeah. no one was hurt. sorry. my producers did check. no one was hurt. >> no one was hurt. was that right? bear attack? >> yeah, right. >> yeah, right. >> are you sure? >> are you sure? >> it probably took his teeth out as russia. yeah, yeah, well, it's russian news. yeah. no, it's russian news. yeah. no, it's a russian news. told us that. that no one was hurt in the bear attack. >> so he's dead? yeah >> so he's dead? yeah >> he probably will not be seen.

>> he probably will not be seen. >> both of them are dead. >> both of them are dead. >> but no, but both of them are dead, you know. >> you know what i will say? >> you know what i will say? >> i do let down the state, i know. >> can i just say to me and this will, this will probably be controversial. i don't want to see anybody get hurt. but in situations like that, i must admit, i'm always on the side of the animal. >> i'm just saying, you know, you know, natural selection, the animals. >> not at all. you know, keep a bear like that in a cage. and i think you know what? good for you for having a go. >> i think the bear was saying, i want a raise and you're not giving it me. >> all right. yeah. he was probably part of a union. we don't know. >> he's part of the bear union. >> he's part of the bear union. >> absolutely, absolutely. >> absolutely, absolutely. >> bare necessities. right. >> bare necessities. right. >> all right. >> all right. >> okay. it's time to reveal today's greatest, britain's union jackass. how long have we got? all right, welcome back. so, two minutes on this, esther. your greatest britain. please >> sorry. all right. spencer matthews, that segway was hilarious. absolutely >> i feel like i've lost control, isn't it? >> yeah. come on. anyway for completing a record breaking charity charity challenge. >> he ran 30 dozen marathons in 30 days. >> mega stuff, 30 marathons in the desert in 30 days. well
