9:03 pm
concerns or information that you would like to pass to us. >> now, a 14 year old girl has been killed after a russian strike on the eastern ukrainian city of kharkiv hit a playground. that's according to local officials there. at least five other people were killed and dozens more injured in the strikes, which also hit a residential building in the city near the russian border. the strikes came just hours before zelenskyy dismissed the head of his air force, lieutenant general mykola oleschuk , back in general mykola oleschuk, back in the uk. dame priti patel has officially launched her conservative leadership campaign, promising to revive the party with a focus on the future. the former home secretary also denounced sir keir starmer's recent speech as feeble, pitiful and dishonest, criticising his approach to trade unions, criminal justice and the economy. speaking in london earlier, she declared the conservative party as the greatest in the world under my leadership, i will bring our
9:04 pm
party experience and strength and i will get us back to winning ways. >> but before i say more about my offer to members of parliament, my plans to empower our loyal and dedicated party members, and my commitment for our party to serve the nation and the british people with professionalism and integrity. >> meanwhile, deputy prime minister angela rayner has been spotted raving with a top dj at a superclub in ibiza . video a superclub in ibiza. video footage shows mrs. rayner dancing in a dj booth while being cheered on by the crowd at hi ibiza on the spanish party island. it comes just days after sir keir starmer warned the nafion sir keir starmer warned the nation of a painful autumn budget , and nation of a painful autumn budget, and extinction rebellion have started. three days of protesting in holm park, near windsor castle. the climate activists said they chose to have windsor castle as a backdrop, as it perfectly symbolises an out—of—date system
9:05 pm
in urgent need of change. protesters at the windsor camp, though, have said that they don't plan to storm the town's castle . those are the latest gb castle. those are the latest gb news headlines for now. i'm sophia wenzler more in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gb news. >> com forward slash alerts . >> com forward slash alerts. >> com forward slash alerts. >> good evening, unemployed immigrants are costing the british taxpayer £8.5 billion a yeah british taxpayer £8.5 billion a year. many of them aren't even looking for a job. a record 1.6 million non—uk nationals are either unemployed or economically inactive has just emerged, and this figure doesn't include foreign students or asylum seekers, apparently. so let that sink in. we are obviously a soft touch, and just
9:06 pm
to emphasise what a soft touch we are. check this out. in germany, a syrian asylum seeker allegedly stabbed three people to death at a festival of diversity. now the german leader has decided to cut all asylum seeker welfare payments instead just giving them a bed, bread and soap if they flout eu immigration rules. so in britain, though, we've had numerous attacks by asylum seekers like ahmed alid, who travelled through around 13 other countries before we decided to take him in. he stabbed an elderly man to death to avenge palestinian deaths. that was in hartlepool. so what is this labour government thinking of doing now then getting you the taxpayer to pay for people to leave voluntarily now? yvette cooper has supposedly launched the home office reintegration programme, which means people from albania, bangladesh, ethiopia , ghana, bangladesh, ethiopia, ghana, india, iraq, jamaica , nigeria, india, iraq, jamaica, nigeria, pakistan, vietnam and zimbabwe will be given free accommodation , will be given free accommodation, help getting a job, cash care
9:07 pm
and food packages if they agree to go home. the home office has budgeted £15 million for this. i suspect it will end up costing us a heck of a lot more. oh, and if they haven't got their documents, which you know, let's be honest, will help them get new ones , won't we? so i do new ones, won't we? so i do wonder what message does this send out. so if you come to britain legally , legally, you britain legally, legally, you can have a life on the dole. and if you come to britain illegally, you can get everything paid for. and if you decide that you want to leave because it's not quite worked out for you, then we'll pay for that as well. well, i mean, i can't wait for labour to tell us about that economic black hole again. let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. i am, of course, joined by the bbc and itv political top dog, john sergeant , businesswoman, joana sergeant, businesswoman, joana jaflue sergeant, businesswoman, joana jarjue and political commentator alex armstrong. john, should we pay alex armstrong. john, should we pay illegal migrants to leave? >> yeah, if you can. if you can. i think you can now do it on all all the areas that you can by
9:08 pm
encouraging people to leave. if it suits them and if you can support them. people can't decide whether or not make sure you that illegal immigrants can't work , because that'll can't work, because that'll prove to them that it's not worth emigrating in this way to britain, or what we do we're going to do now is to make sure they can work. i mean, what you've got to do is try and have an orderly system. first of all, make sure that you have a proper heanng make sure that you have a proper hearing as to whether they've got asylum or not. then what the opfions got asylum or not. then what the options are. now, some of them will want to return voluntarily to their country, because in fact, it won't have worked out as well in britain as they thought. in which case you save a lot of money because you'd save a lot of money if they agree. rwanda cost enormous sums of money and they wouldn't even have their system resolved until they got there. so the idea that this is somehow wrong to say to people, look, would it help you to return to your country? and it will therefore mean it will
9:09 pm
be cheaper for us? i that seems pretty straightforward. >> yeah, well, you say it's straightforward, but i think it's almost like we're paying twice, aren't we? because we're paying twice, aren't we? because we're paying for people to come here. we're paying for the ones who do decide to stay. and we're also going to pay for the ones who decide to leave. >> yeah, it's another slap in the face for working class people, isn't it? our taxes are going up at an all time high. we've got cost of living an all time high. we've got energy bills going up. but there's people, as you rightfully said in your intro, patrick, that are going to come here for free, get bread and bread for free, get a job for free. you're better off leaving this country, chucking your passport in the water and pretending you're from somewhere else. that's a massive slap in the face to british people. and then it's an incentive. an incentive to come to the uk, not a deterrent. and what people want is a strong policy to deter people, not a weak one, where we hand out more cash, paying £8.5 billion. >> it sounds like, joanna, for legal migrants who aren't working or even in some cases, looking for work. >> no, but for the legal migrants and for people who are granted refugee status, there's a lot of kind of myth of what
9:10 pm
these people actually get. you know, they get on benefits is apparently another myth, or they get housing and they're at the front of the queue and all of this, i think that a lot of that is just absolute rubbish. and when you actually compare it to the 700 million that we spent, this is 15 million. and i'm not saying that that's not a large amount of money, but it's no different to when, you know, we give overseas aid budget as well to make sure that when people go back to these countries that they are actually in a position to kind of stay there. there's nothing to say that somebody might not, you know, come through a boat one time and then another time decide, okay, actually, next time i'm going to come through a lorry or something like that. in the grand scheme of things, yes, obviously it's difficult to kind of bite the bullet and suck it up basically and say that we're going to pay twice. >> you're shaking your head because because the reality is this policy is doomed, isn't it? it's not going to work. those people have come to this country because they want to get out of the country. they've come from pretending we're going to pay to send them back, and then? then what? they'll do it again. why did they leave in the first place if it was so great? you know, this is the some of them
9:11 pm
are going to send some of them will some of them won't. >> vast majority can't. >> vast majority can't. >> john. >> john. >> now, what you what you can't do is to guess the whole time. try it. try all sorts of things. try it. try all sorts of things. try and think about rwanda where we won't say, try rwanda. >> no, no, we're saying rwanda wouldn't. >> rwanda wouldn't have worked . >> rwanda wouldn't have worked. >> rwanda wouldn't have worked. >> give them some money. that's great. >> no. alex aranda, you know, perfectly well that rwanda wouldn't have worked. >> i'm saying this won't work ehhen >> i'm saying this won't work either. and that's the thing. right. so let's get some sense. >> hold on a moment. if somebody says yes and there's a system by which they can receive help in order to return home, and they agreed to it voluntarily, not because they've been tortured, not because they've done this or that, but simply say, would this help you? well, it would save a lot of money, but well, you're right. >> but rwanda would have saved a lot of money as well. and it certainly. >> no, it wouldn't work. no. the key. >> joanna, has germany got it right. because. because if we do this, if we pay 15 million, it's going to be loads more than that. but whatever. if we pay £15 million to repatriate people, essentially what we're also doing in the meantime is also doing in the meantime is also giving them quite a comprehensive benefit system as
9:12 pm
well. so germany has decided that in the wake of the latest attack over there, they are going to withdraw all welfare payments apparently, and it's just going to be they've described it as bread, bread and soap. so, should we not be doing that in the meantime as well? >> no , i mean, okay, look, it's >> no, i mean, okay, look, it's 15 million. and like i said, it sounds like a really big number, and you're acting as if we're basically paying for a benefit system in another country, as if, like, people are just going to be, you know, fed and watered for years and years. no, they're not. it's for a very, very short amount of time. and it's just to make sure that people actually get on their feet. so obviously it adds up to 15 million. like i said, in the british public pay for this, joanna, this is the question brits want to know. >> why do we have to pay for this? >> because it's a practical answer. it's a practical plan. the practical answer is no. otherwise, if you say no, but if you say no the whole time, and wouldn't it be a good idea, perhaps, to torture these people? what's happening in germany? no no no, nobody, no, nobody wants that. >> they just want them to know that i know what they're getting isn't going to be free. i know,
9:13 pm
but look, if you can persuade people and they agree, what is wrong with that? >> yeah, the easiest way of getting people to actually leave in an orderly way is like for it to be voluntary. so, like , even to be voluntary. so, like, even for people who have, like, to be voluntary. so, like, even for people who have, like, overstayed their visa, i'm not overstayed their visa, i'm not talking about people who have talking about people who have come through boats, but actually come through boats, but actually even just overall with the even just overall with the migration system, it's easier to migration system, it's easier to do it. like john said, in an do it. like john said, in an orderly fashion, where all you're doing is helping them for orderly fashion, where all you're doing is helping them for a very short amount of time. a very short amount of time. >> and then i can't help but >> and then i can't help but wonder if they're more likely to wonder if they're more likely to do that. if they don't actually do that. if they don't actually have a decent enough situation have a decent enough situation here, as it is. i mean, we've here, as it is. i mean, we've got a story coming up later on. got a story coming up later on. it's in the next hour, which is it's in the next hour, which is a big story. it's a sign of we're going, so, like , even a big story. it's a sign of things to come. unfortunately. i things to come. unfortunately. i think it's a place in wales think it's a place in wales where it's a small village and where it's a small village and they are basically building a they are basically building a purpose built set of houses for purpose built set of houses for asylum seekers. the locals say asylum seekers. the locals say they were lied to about about they were lied to about about that. okay. so if they know that that. okay. so if they know that that's around the corner, why that's around the corner, why would anyone voluntarily decide? would anyone voluntarily decide? oh, you know what, i am going to oh, you know what, i am going to go back to zimbabwe. go back to zimbabwe. >> they won't will they? just >> they won't will they? just look at the raft of policies look at the raft of policies starmer is planning to help starmer is planning to help people that aren't british, that people that aren't british, that
9:14 pm
9:15 pm
social housing first. and the rule pas�*people: which social housing first. and the rule pas�*people who ch social housing first. and the rule pas�*people who are running why the people who are running these boats for example, why can't they be arrested for organising illegal immigration? no. for some reason they all arrive. and these people then presumably go back onto the continent to take another group of people . the whole idea of it, of people. the whole idea of it, i think the key thing i think there are people who haven't arrived on boats, though a lot of them, i think they are people who have got a visa to stay. >> so they might have come with a with a job and then so who's got the teller who is actually or who is there making sure that the boat even it's a shambles, even if some people have been killed travelling across the channel killed travelling across the channel, somebody must be in charge of that thing to acknowledge is that even depending on whether it's illegal or legal migration, a lot of the times, people come and they end up being destitute as well. >> they end up being left destitute. and to actually lift yourself out of poverty and actually get a job is, you know, ihave actually get a job is, you know, i have no problem with with helping people who've tried to come and make a life here for good reasons, you know, i'm mostly against illegal immigrants coming over to the
9:16 pm
country and exploiting a system which they are aware they're exploiting most of the time, young men mostly coming over here for work, but for people who've come legally to the country of course, we should try and help them. >> there's no nothing wrong with that. >> okay. all right, guys, look, thank you very, very much. a lively start as ever. coming up as labour unveils plans to give workers the right to demand a four day working week. are they just appeasing their union paymasters and work shy civil servants at the expense of hard working british business owners? i'll be joined by a business expert who will explain why a four day week would spell disaster for economic growth. but next, tory leadership hopeful james cleverly is furious with liberal luvvies who are embarrassed by britain's colonial history. >> i find it both baffling and frustrating, this kind of lazy trope that the left deploy all the time, which is always to, you know, hate, hate your own country . country. >> all right, so should lefties stop apologising for britain's colonial history? former culture secretary michelle donelan is going head to head with the former chairman of the black police association, leroy logan. thatis police association, leroy logan. that is a proper head to head
9:20 pm
9:21 pm
britain's history? it's time now for the head to head . okay, so for the head to head. okay, so tory leadership hopeful james cleverly has blasted what he calls liberal luvvies for their apologetic attitude towards britain's colonial history. he was speaking to gb news political editor, christopher hope, and he had these harsh words for those people who are embarrassed by our country's past. >> if you go to the british empire, when people when people particularly, they won't say people on the left , but people on the left, but progressives say how proud they were of the uk, that we had a prime minister of indian heritage, a home secretary of african heritage, that would not have happened had the british empire not existed. so you cannotin empire not existed. so you cannot in good conscience be proud of the ethnic diversity at the top of the british establishment for want of a better word, without also history and teaching it, warts and all. and there a|also recognising that this country's better word, without also recognising that this country's amazing history was instrumental amazing history was instrumental
9:22 pm
in delivering that. i find it in delivering that. i find it both baffling and frustrating both baffling and frustrating that this kind of lazy trope that this kind of lazy trope that this kind of lazy trope that the left deploy all the that this kind of lazy trope that the left deploy all the time, which is always to, you time, which is always to, you know, hate, hate your own know, hate, hate your own country. country. >> well, it's strong stuff from >> well, it's strong stuff from james cleverly there. i am james cleverly there. i am asking, should the left stop asking, should the left stop apologising for britain's apologising for britain's history? let me know what you history? let me know what you think. you can go to think. you can go to gbnews.com/yoursay or obviously gbnews.com/yoursay or obviously you can tweet us as well you can tweet us as well @gbnews. but going head to head @gbnews. but going head to head on this now are the former on this now are the former culture secretary, michelle donelan, and the former chairman culture secretary, michelle donelan, and the former chairman of the black police association, of the black police association, leroy logan, both of you, thank leroy logan, both of you, thank you very much. to great have you you very much. to great have you both on the show. we'll go both on the show. we'll go ladies first. michelle, do you ladies first. michelle, do you think the left should stop think the left should stop apologising them for our past? apologising them for our past? >> well, i don't think they >> well, i don't think they should have started in the first should have started in the first place, to be honest. we've got place, to be honest. we've got to get real and have a bit of to get real and have a bit of common sense here. the people common sense here. the people alive today weren't alive at alive today weren't that time. we didn't see it. we didn't participate in it. we didn't participate in it. we didn't , support it. we haven't didn't, support it. we haven't endorsed it in any way. so call it out. definitely. but we should be learning from our history and teaching it, warts
9:23 pm
and all. and there are addressing what james cleverly said directly there about how we have had numerous different people in very prominent positions of power in this country, especially politically, who come from a variety of different ethnic minority backgrounds. and he says that actually, because we've got that because we are colonialism. >> well, i think it's like everything, you know, it's
9:24 pm
context for the for the context for the for the individuals, what's happened in individuals, what's happened in their family, what's happened in their family, what's happened in their family, what's happened in their family, what's happened in their heritage, i mean, james their heritage, i mean, james cleverly is a, you know, is cleverly is a, you know, is entitled to his views, but i entitled to his views, but i think what he exhibits is a term think what he exhibits is a term of minority response to of minority response to dominance . so he is accepting dominance . so he is accepting dominance. so he is accepting a lot of history, he's not dominance. so he is accepting a lot of history, he's not avoiding it . and it's definitely avoiding it . and it's definitely avoiding it. and it's definitely not aggressively opposing it. going what james cleverly avoiding it. and it's definitely not aggressively opposing it. that's the sort of thing i do that's the sort of thing i do because we know that certain because we know that certain parts of history are very parts of history are very chequered. and unfortunately, chequered. and unfortunately, until quite recently, they until quite recently, they didn't even teach slavery . they didn't even teach slavery . they didn't even teach slavery. they didn't even teach slavery. they didn't even teach slavery. they didn't even teach slavery. they didn't teach even the windrush . didn't teach even the windrush . didn't teach even the windrush. and now, through the scandal, didn't teach even the windrush. and now, through the everyone knows about it. so it seems to be the, the tendency to just, just pick cherry pick what you want. and as a result of that, people will accept it. but
9:26 pm
didn't teach even the windrush. aiconstanthrough the w didn't teach even the windrush. aiconstant driveh the w n ' didn't teach even the windrush. aiconstant drive that w w w wwww didn't teach even the windrush. aiconstant drive that we ww w didn't teach even the windrush. aiconstant drive that we do w didn't teach even the windrush. aiconstant drive that we do see w a constant drive that we do see on the left to try and pretend and deny that certain parts of our history didn't happen. well, they did happen and we should stand up for that. and we should be custodians of our history. >> leroy, how can we always simultaneously claim things like the left does ? like, you know, the left does? like, you know, diversity is our greatest strength and britain is this fabulous multicultural melting pot that gets it right when you know it's better than anywhere in the world. when it comes to that. and then also simultaneously claim that actually, you know, we're quite awful with that . we have massive awful with that. we have massive amounts of racism here and that our past is absolutely sickening. it just strike me that maybe the left is a little bit confused on this topic. >> well, i think we just need to acknowledge that, certain things have been glorified in such a way that you would never think there was a negative side to it, look at all the different statues all around the country that are from slave owners who have, you know, amassed massive
9:27 pm
millions of pounds , okay. it may millions of pounds, okay. it may have fed into the industrial revolution and helped, you know , revolution and helped, you know, developing, modern society . but developing, modern society. but like everything, you can't just let it sit there and say, that's it. i'm not into tearing down statues . i think relocating statues. i think relocating them, is possibly so. at least when people go into museums , when people go into museums, they get a balanced view, and i think that's all what we really expect. so that no one's going to be, gaslit to say, well, listen, there's nothing to see here. everything was fine because we know there is not. it's not just black and white. there are grey areas of complexities. and i know that this country is like other european countries, even america, where, their history is checkered. but in america, we know they're actually putting in legislation to stop people even
9:28 pm
knowing anything about slavery and the confederacy and what they got up to . and that's they got up to. and that's ludicrous. and i just hope this country doesn't sleepwalk into those sort of things. be honest with themselves, be honest with their history, and ensure that our future generations know the whole part of their culture and their upbringing and celebrate it, warts and all. >> all right. michelle, just to kind of not well, kind of put words in james clavell's mouth, to be fair. right. but taking what he said, maybe to his natural conclusion, do you think people on the right like britain more than people on the left? >> i think there is a general tendency on the left to shy away from a sense of national pride and a sense of believing in britain that has spread to the point where people almost feel a little bit reluctant to display a sense of national pride. and that's really discouraging. you don't see that in other countries. you don't see that in america. you don't see that in
9:29 pm
australia. and because of that, we've lost some of our social cohesion that knits us together and would help prevent things like riots like we've seen this summer. and so we need to unite as a as a public. and we can only do that if we believe in our country together. we have a lot going for us. it's a fantastic place in the world to live. are there things that are wrong? absolutely. like any other place in the world. but we should be proud of where we live and what we stand for and our country. and we shouldn't be afraid to , to display that. afraid to, to display that. >> leroy, final word to you on this. i wonder if the balance has been tipped and actually, in attempting to try to teach, especially children in schools about some of the negatives about some of the negatives about british history, what's actually happened is we've taught people to hate britain and our past. >> well, listen, i'm a grandfather and i see that my grandchildren are getting a more rounded view of what is needed. i wouldn't say we passed any sort of tipping point. i think
9:30 pm
we're just trying to catch up with stuff that's been sanitised over the years . i didn't get over the years. i didn't get taught anything about slavery or windrush when i when i was a youngster in the 60s and 70s. so it's about time. all i would like to think that we acknowledge all of these things and don't try and say, well, you know, britannia ruled the waves and there wasn't a negative to it . you know, i know that it. you know, i know that slavery , the reformists, there slavery, the reformists, there was a lot of work done. but remember, they started at uk or this country started it beforehand. so in a lot of ways they're clearing up their own mess. >> all right. okay. well look, clearly we could we could talk about this all evening. but thank you very, very much, both of you. thoroughly enjoyed that. that was the former culture secretary, michelle donelan. there and the former chairman of the black police association, leroy logan. well, look, coming up. i've still got loads coming your way because esther mcvey well, she's been slammed really for a tweet about attacking the prime minister's outdoor smoking ban. but i mean, true to form, the straight talking tory mp has massively hit back. she's warning that starmer's socialist
9:31 pm
government should send shivers down everybody's spine . she's down everybody's spine. she's got a lot to say and i'm very pleased to say she'll be saying it on this show in a few minutes time. but first, angela rayner has been caught raving with her celebrity pals in ibiza . celebrity pals in ibiza. obviously, unfortunately for miss rayner , back in the uk, you miss rayner, back in the uk, you know, businesses are warning that her plan to give workers the right to demand a four day working week will wreak havoc. so if she's just doing it to appease her union mates and work shy civil servants, i'll be joined by the business
9:35 pm
next. welcome back in a new law touted for the autumn, which is like weeks away, isn't it? workers are set to be given the right to compress their hours into a four day week, rather than five, shifting the balance of power from businesses to legally obligate them to offer flexible working. all right, so the law spearheaded by, you guessed it, deputy prime minister angela rayner and pushed, in consultation with the trade unions has led to questions from the conservatives and business leaders over whether this is the right thing to do in order to boost growth. all right. and doesit boost growth. all right. and does it yet again raise questions about who is actually running britain? is it ministers or is it union barons? so joining me now to discuss this is business guru geoff birch. geoff, look, thank you very
9:36 pm
much. great to have you on the show. >> so nice to see you. patrick. >> so nice to see you. patrick. >> would a four day working week benefit us economically at all? >> well it might. i mean that's the that's the thing. i mean there's an old business rule though. before we start any of this that says finding and keeping customers is the only activity that generates revenue. everything else would involve us in cost. or in other words, the only thing that keeps this country alive is the profit from commercial businesses. the profit, you know, the tax they pay profit, you know, the tax they pay directly, the tax their employees pay directly is the only thing that finances the nhs. the government, only thing that finances the nhs. the government , the army nhs. the government, the army and everything else. so if you muck about with that, you muck about with it at your peril. >> but when it comes to how this might work practically, i think there's actually a limited number of jobs where this would work . so if anyone here @gbnews
9:37 pm
work. so if anyone here @gbnews or at a lot of businesses, a lot of businesses just marched in one day and said, right, okay, i'm going to compress my five day working week into four. you just couldn't do it because i do a show on a friday, so how could i? how could i do that? how could i how could people who work on this show do it? and so to me, this can only really apply to people like civil servants. and i suggest that this is who it's aimed at. >> well, the problem with it is that that, i mean, it's the same as this working from home thing, that it's not right wing, left wing or whatever it is . british wing or whatever it is. british management haven't got the mindset to handle flexible working. i mean, traditionally every middle manager, lie—in, manager, civil servant or whatever it is, they're fixated on the process. in other words, the way the job is done, not the job. if you at home wanted your garden fence painted and a strange bloke appeared with a bucket and an overall, he you'd say paint the fence and when
9:38 pm
it's painted, i'll pay you . and it's painted, i'll pay you. and the fence would be painted, and you wouldn't ask him whether he'd done it in four days, three days, or whether he'd done a ten hour shift, 12 hour shift, or he'd done it in his lunch break. it would have to be done. and we're very poor at setting business work. i mean, i do also put it to you, though, jeff, just just on that. >> i also put it to you that i think there are a huge amount of people in britain who are quite lazy and on the take, and the actual that is borne out in the evidence of the amount of people who are not looking for work or are economically inactive. i think the work from home culture benefits predominantly people who are more willing to slack off. and if you say if you say to them or they say to you as a business, well, i'll tell you what i'll do. i'll compress my five days into, into, into four days.i five days into, into, into four days. i mean, that is that's just a gift for them to try and fudge that, isn't it? i mean, do we do we see do we are we going to see the benefit of that? >> it's our fault because we've got to give people a task to do. i mean, famously, one of your one of your own presenters who
9:39 pm
was a famous politician, was photographed lounging on the benches in the houses of parliament. now, he was at work. but was he working? plenty of us find find a job where we can put our feet on the desk and do our pools, coupon or whatever it is. or crossword. the fact is, if you're set a task to complete , you're set a task to complete, you're set a task to complete, you complete it to the satisfaction. then you've earnt your money. the other point with this four day thing is that everybody watching you and i are thinking, are four day week. that means shall i have friday, saturday, sunday? or shall i do saturday, sunday? or shall i do saturday, sunday, monday ? now, saturday, sunday, monday? now, as an employer, i would say no, no no no. actually i want you to your your four day week will be friday, saturday, sunday and monday. and you can have tuesday, wednesday and thursday off because those aren't my busy days anyway. if i ran a pub or a restaurant and then you'd get people shouting that this enforced four day work thing wasn't fair because it wasn't.
9:40 pm
>> but there's a difference now, though, isn't there? because my understanding of this and correct me if i'm wrong, but my understanding is at the moment employees could go to an employer and say, can i can i do the compressed hours? can i do it in four days? and the employer could just say, no. but now under this, i think the employer would have to provide serious justification as to why their hours could not be compressed into four days as opposed to five, etc. this is just a nightmare for people who actually run businesses, isn't it? well it could be, but if it's reasonable then then why not? >> i mean, the fire brigade have always done shifts on shifts off, week on, two weeks off. all off, week on, two weeks off. all of these things work. i mean, where it doesn't work is for bust. if you're if you say, well, how are you going to compress your hours? well, i'm going to do ten hour shifts, but you're one of my bus drivers and you're one of my bus drivers and you can't stay at the wheel for ten hours, or you're one of my airline pilots , and i'd rather airline pilots, and i'd rather like you at the controls of the
9:41 pm
aircraft for the 12 hour flight to new york, please. so so it's one of these wonderful concepts that we're all going to be a bit more relaxed that the ai is going to do the hard work, and we can, but we're asking for it, though. >> you see, the thing is, jeff, i look at stuff like this and i look at the train drivers strikes and i look at all of that, and i think you're begging to be taken over by ai. you are begging for driverless trains. you are begging for us to find a piece of computer software that doesn't take the flipping mickey like they do, and it costs half as much. and i just wonder whether or not some of these people are helping themselves. i don't know. i know, i know that it is a very divisive topic. the four day week and a lot of people would massively prefer it. and there are studies out there that show that it might result in higher productivity and all of this stuff. and, you know, we don't know until we try it, do we? but i am a bit sceptical, i must say, about the reasons behind why perhaps this has been drawn up now would be the condition. >> the condition should be that productivity remains the same or
9:42 pm
improves or you don't get it. and if, as an employer, that would be one of my reasons for standing in an employment court saying he's not getting four days because he's the work doesn't get done , and if the guy doesn't get done, and if the guy says, yes, it does. i'm a bricklayer and i will build i built a wall. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> you a wall? i'll build you a wall. and i and i won't have a lunch break and then i get my day off with my kids . lunch break and then i get my day off with my kids. i, as a reasonable employer , i wouldn't reasonable employer, i wouldn't argue against that. what i argue against is laws forcing me to run my business in an uneconomic way. >> fair enough . jeff, thank you >> fair enough. jeff, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. jeff burch there, the business guru. right. okay. so coming up, we are only months into a labour government. we've already got two tier policing. we've already had a two tier justice system. but after home office ministerjess justice system. but after home office minister jess phillips admitted she received quicker nhs treatment because she voted in favour of a ceasefire in gaza. do we now also have a two
9:43 pm
9:46 pm
hello and welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now, the tory mp and former minister for common sense, esther mcvey. well, she got a bit of backlash in the last 24 hours after posting on x, making her feelings known on the proposed outdoor smoking ban enforced by our dear leader, sir keir starmer , appearing to draw starmer, appearing to draw parallels with the holocaust. so the tweet read first they came for the communists and i did not speak out because i was not a communist. then they came for the jews and i did not speak out because i was not a jew. then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me. pertinent words re starmer's smoking ban. well, the words apparently come from a 1946 poem by pastor martin niemoller, a
9:47 pm
vocal opponent to the nazi regime during world war two. well, there was a bit of anger going on as a result of this. the board of deputies of british jews who have called for an apology has been seen both on social media and in the press. esther mcvey has hit back , esther mcvey has hit back, though, at accusations of disrespect to holocaust victims. she posted a very forthright statement reading nobody is suggesting that banning smoking outside pubs can be equated with what happened to the jews at the hands of the nazis. it is ridiculous for anyone to suggest that that's what i was doing. it's called an analogy. this new socialist government should send shivers down everyone's spine. well, i'm very pleased to say that esther mcvey mp joins me now. esther, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. so, so there's been a bit of pushback, hasn't there. so do you, do you want to go into a bit more detail about, i suppose, what you really meant by this, what you, what your overall message is. >> well, this is a parable i remember being taught about it at school and the it's a powerful parable about the importance of standing up for
9:48 pm
other people's freedoms , even if other people's freedoms, even if they're not yours, even if you don't do it. >> i don't smoke, but it's about that standing up for other people's freedoms and, you know, speaking out . nobody spoke out speaking out. nobody spoke out and in no way is it drawing a comparison about the banning of the smoking outside with what happened to jews at the hands of nazis? no, it's not, it's an analogy and it's talking about those who seek to restrict people's freedoms. start with easy targets and move from there. and i was saying, look at what the socialist government is doing, whether that's stopping freedom of speech, whether that is now stopping other people's freedom, smoking outside. you see now that they're finding this £22 billion hole in the finances that weren't there at all, because they're coming after your money, they're going to give you taxes. you also see
9:49 pm
that they've got draconian laws coming through now about confiscation of people's land , confiscation of people's land, because they actually want to build on it. so what i was saying here, and this is the importance, it is about standing up for other people's freedoms. and i believe in freedoms . and i and i believe in freedoms. and i won't be bullied by the left wing twitterati and the established media who don't like the terminology. it was not a weight, it was not an equivalence in any way. that's what it was about. >> it's also a little bit rich, i think, given recent events for people on the left to be coming out now and clutching their pearls about something that may or may not involve the jewish community, i would politely suggest that they might want to track their own track record on that. but, you know, when it comes to the idea of sir keir starmer's government sending shivers down people's spine, i think you alluded to a couple of things there, but do you think he is genuinely authoritarian, or do you think he's a man who's just got a big majority? his back's against the wall a little bit and he's trying to stamp all. he's trying to stamp authority without being
9:50 pm
authoritarian. >> oh no, he's absolutely an authoritarian. oh yes, i mean, really nobody put him under any pressure during the general election. well, what are you going to do? what are is your government about. and then you see that really he got into office, you know, under really, i would say a cloak of lies. i mean, he was talking to the conservative party what are you going to do about pensioners? what are you going to do with the winter fuel payment? then he comes in and has the audacity to withhold winter fuel payment from 10 million pensioners. nobody knew about this . nobody nobody knew about this. nobody knew about the draconian measures he was bringing in. and you will see yet more coming through. people are talking about i've never heard this before. people talking about two tier policing and two tier justice system. if we don't like it, you'll have a harsher penalty than if we do that is absolutely chilling and i'm not blaming the police here at all.
9:51 pm
i am on the side of the police. they are directed in what they do. no i am saying to people, actually watch out , this isn't actually watch out, this isn't a labour government. this is a hard core extreme left socialist government. and that's why this blanket phrase that he uses if he wants to close down any debate or argument, oh, you are of the far right. i've never heard such nonsense. and i'm saying to people, you need to start speaking up. you need to now start looking at what he's doing and the justification he's now giving to stop things and alter things . and i will say alter things. and i will say that winter fuel payment, removing it from 10 million pensioners, more or less , pensioners, more or less, because all of a sudden he found a £22 billion gap in the finances. he did not the bang to rights on that. no what they've chosen to do is collapse to their trade union paymasters and give these, big pay increases and also go down this net zero
9:52 pm
zealot like path. that's where the money is going. they shouldn't be taking it away from pensioners , honestly. watch out. pensioners, honestly. watch out. mark my words . mark my words. >> so on the on the pensioners side of it. and on the smoking thing as well. so keir starmer's two arguments to that are, well the tories have left us in an economic mess. and the other argument when it comes to smoking is, well, actually i'm doing this for your own good. i'm doing this for your own good. smokers cost the nhs x amount a year. it's a preventable death. that's his line. so he is trying to blame the winter fuel thing on the tories . and also try to pretend tories. and also try to pretend that , well sorry, say that he's that, well sorry, say that he's he's doing it for our own good with the smoking. i'm assuming you don't buy either of those two things. >> look, i'm not a smoker, i don't smoke, and you're quite right . that's about education, right. that's about education, you know. don't do it. know the downsides on it. but like i said, you start on an easy target and move from there. now, what he'll also do, and it's interesting actually, that nigel
9:53 pm
farage has come from a different perspective talking about, you know , you're not sort of know, you're not sort of managing to close down any illegal drug taking. you're not doing any of the hard lifting, as it were. no. what you're doing now is something that's legal. you're going to clamp down. and i always look to prohibition and that sort of, again, where he's going, oh, it's all for the good of your health. but we're going to stop you being able to do it. prohibition has never worked. whether it's alcohol, whether it's, i don't know, smoking. it does not work. and people will find another way. and i think that's what nigel farage was looking at now, the sort of illegal cigarette sort of trade. so no, i know he always will have the excuse. oh, we're looking after you. you couldn't looking after you. you couldn't look after yourself. we're actually going to look after you. you don't need your freedoms because actually the state's going to do that for you because we know better than you. and i don't agree with that. >> and the point the point that you were trying to make as well, just to kind of bring us back full circle in the last minute or so that we've got here. but the point that you were trying to make there was, well, you
9:54 pm
know, we need to start speaking up about this because it could it could get worse in your view. >> oh, i absolutely do believe it will. yeah, absolutely. do believe will we have got a hard left socialist government and unfortunately, because none of the mainstream media put this government under any spotlight dunng government under any spotlight during the general election, nobody knew what they voted for. they voted for change. they certainly did. but what is the change we're all going to get ? change we're all going to get? and as it looks now, it's not a good change. 50 odd days in and i think there's a lot of buyer's remorse here. what have we voted in? >> well, it's interesting to see those , approval ratings isn't those, approval ratings isn't it. and the rate at which, the rate at which they are going down. and you would have to assume that some of those people who are now thinking of him negatively did indeed vote for him a few weeks ago. but thank you very much for coming on. so we're out of time. but but yeah, but , yeah, we're out of time. but but yeah, but, yeah, but we're out of time. but but yeah, but , yeah, but absolute pleasure but, yeah, but absolute pleasure to have you on and all the best with everything as well. you take care esther mcvey there.
9:55 pm
rempe. right. okay. obviously keir starmer will say he's not hard left or a socialist. he's just he's just doing what he thinks is best for us and for the nation. but coming up as a council in wales plans to move those in need, such as refugees, into a brand new housing development in a small rural village. are they railroading over the concerns of local residents in to order appease the open borders brigade? we've got a firebrand political commentator and a migration expert in the shape of lee harris on that. locals are taking the government to court over that. but next, home office minister jess phillips has made ministerjess phillips has made a jaw dropping admission. she skipped the nhs queue because she voted for a ceasefire. shocking stuff . shocking stuff. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> good evening. here's your latest gb news weather update coming to you from the met office. now as we head through the end of meteorological summer and into autumn, there will be
9:56 pm
some heavy thundery showers around this weekend , but also around this weekend, but also quite a bit of fine weather because at the moment we do have high pressure still dominating our story, which has settled things down today and will keep things down today and will keep things mostly dry overnight. lots of clear skies for many of us, although a bit more cloud pushing into the southeast through the early hours of tomorrow morning, the breeze picking up a little bit here and 1 or 2 showers are possible as well . otherwise lots of dry, well. otherwise lots of dry, clear weather and under the clear weather and under the clear skies it is going to turn a little bit cool. perhaps not as cool as last night for many of us, but across parts of scotland, temperatures could drop to low to mid single figures. there may also be a few pockets of mist and fog around first thing tomorrow morning, but in the southeast it's going to be a bit of a cloudy start that cloud is going to spill north and westwards through the day, with some showers becoming a bit more widespread as well. however across central northern parts of england and wales into northern ireland and scotland, apart from any isolated mist or fog patches which should clear away pretty quickly, it is going to be a fine and sunny start to
9:57 pm
the day. lots more sunshine to come as we go through the day tomorrow as well, especially across the northern two thirds of the uk. further south, that cloud is going to become a bit more widespread and do watch out for some showers and they could turn heavy, possibly thundery. most likely towards southern counties of england with some decent sunshine. it is again going to feel pretty warm . going to feel pretty warm. temperatures generally in the high teens or low 20s, possibly reaching around 24 or 25 celsius towards the south. looking ahead towards the south. looking ahead to sunday and there will again be some thundery showers around, most likely down the eastern side of the uk, but they could push a little bit further westwards into more central areas at times, and these could be heavy enough to cause some localised impacts. so do take care. otherwise some more wet, unsettled weather to come as we go through the beginning of next week. whatever your plans this weekend, i hope you have a great one. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

10:01 pm
>> is this two tier health care plus ? hey hey hey. plus? hey hey hey. >> things will get worse before they get better . they get better. >> starmer says that we're all in it together. angela rayner is partying in ibiza. some people are clearly more equal than others, aren't they? on my panel tonight is bbc and itv political chief john sergeant, entrepreneur and businesswoman joana jarjue and political commentator alex armstrong and can you guess who makes a surprise entry for tonight's greatest britain? get ready britain. here we go . britain. here we go. well, apparently the nhs is pro—palestine. next . pro—palestine. next. >> good evening. i'm sophia

wenzler with your headlines. just after 10:00. some breaking news in the last half hour. brazil's supreme court has ordered the immediate and complete suspension of x, formerly known as twitter. in a statement, the court said it will ban the social media platform until x complies with all court orders and pays existing fines. the brazilian supreme court judge and elon musk have been in a public feud for months after x failed to comply with legal orders to block certain accounts accused of spreading fake news and hate. the platform is expected to be unavailable in the country within the next 24 hours. back in the uk, police say they are following active lines of inquiry after launching a murder investigation following the death of a 13 year old boy found stabbed to death at a house in the west midlands. the teenager was treated by paramedics but died at the scene in oldbury yesterday afternoon. west midlands police confirmed the attack took place inside the boy's home and appealed for

anyone with information to come forward. no one has yet been arrested . dame priti patel has arrested. dame priti patel has officially launched her conservative leadership campaign, promising to revive the party with a focus on the future. the former home secretary also denounced sir keir starmer's recent speech as feeble, pitiful and dishonest, criticising his approach to trade unions, criminal justice and the economy. speaking in london, she declared the conservative party as the greatest in the world. >> under my leadership, i will bnng >> under my leadership, i will bring our party experience and strength and i will get us back to winning ways. but before i say more about my offer to members of parliament, my plans to empower our loyal and dedicated party members and my commitment for our party to serve the nation and the british people with professionalism and integrity . integrity. >> now, the government says it won't impose a four day working

10:06 pm
long waiting list for surgery, would you, if you felt that that was the only way forward, use private healthcare. rishi sunak, yes, keir starmer , no . yes, keir starmer, no. absolutely no. if your loved one was on a waiting list for surgery , no. surgery, no. >> well, it turns out you don't have to. if you're a pro—palestine labour mp, you can just skip the hospital queue anyway, can't you? this is the same jess phillips who sparked outrage when she appeared to justify a load of muslim men mobbing up on a roundabout in birmingham to see off the mythical threat of the edl, which didn't turn up. but later that same night this did happen. the battery battering is . the battery battering is. >> get it? >> get it? >> see a palestine flag in the back there. anyway, this is the same jess phillips who is also the minister for safeguarding and violence against women and girls, who remained conspicuously quiet about a muslim man attacking three women for not wearing traditional islamic dress in bradford. but the issue of a pro—palestine mp
10:07 pm
getting preferential hospital treatment highlights something much bigger in my view. if most of the doctors at the hospital in birmingham were palestinian, as she says , or even just as she says, or even just pro—palestinian, so not even actually palestinian, just just sympathetic to the cause, how would birmingham's jewish community have been treated at that time? do we think we had an incident in manchester where a jewish boy was booted out of his bed by nurses wearing palestine flag badges? it feels like every little bit of britain's public sector has suddenly been politicised by the pro—palestine brigade. the head of the national education union wants to globalise the intifada. there were civil servants out on the stump at pro—palestine marches. the police turned a blind to eye criminal damage and anti—semitism. and now doctors will give you preferential treatment if you support their cause. well, prominent journalist harry cole even tweeted that he didn't realise that the h in the nhs stood for hamas. but there we are. it really is saying something. if sir keir starmer's to tears
10:08 pm
extend to whether or not you get medical assistance. let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. i have got ex bbc and itv political chief john sergeant. i have a businesswoman, an entrepreneur, joana jarjue and political commentator alex armstrong. commentator alex arm strong. alex, commentator alex armstrong. alex, i'll start with you and i'll work my way down. do you think that there is kind of a worrying thing here? two tier healthcare system? >> yeah. this is absolutely shocking news. i mean, for first of all, for jess phillips to say it out loud, i think that is a massive misdemeanour on her behalf. she's admitted that she's getting extra care because of her political views. i think this doctor should be exposed and struck off immediately. we need to send a strong message that you do not get preferential treatment under our national health service, based on your political views. we've already seen the justice system completely corrupted by this. we had the man who threw cement at nigel farage. he's been let off. but other people for writing social media tweets have gone to prison , right? when is this prison, right? when is this going to stop? the british pubuc going to stop? the british public will be up to their eyeballs, and this might even be the final straw for some people.
10:09 pm
i fear for that. as you said, the jewish community who are going to go into the nhs now wondering if they're going to be at the back of the queue. >> that's a that's a point, isn't it? i mean, you know, the birmingham has got a big jewish population. i mean, the implication here is if you were visibly jewish and you got ill in that birmingham hospital at that time, you might have been at the back of the queue. >> i don't understand why jess phillips has done done this. it just seems like the most ridiculously stupid thing that you could do. she's basically thrown red meat at people like alex. now to be able to say, well, actually there is a two tier health care system and people who support palestine get preferential treatment to thank her. she has exposed it, hasn't she? no. well, she hasn't exposed it. what she's done is done something that's actually very stupid in the sense that i think that if you were, if you were in a hospital, if she was elton john or adele or something like that, you might get, you know, oh, you know, really great to meet you. i know something about you because you're a pubuc about you because you're a public person. i think that people just treat you better in general if you're, you know, a pubuc general if you're, you know, a public figure . but i don't think public figure. but i don't think that she was put to the front of the queue. realistically she
10:10 pm
went in the hospital as well because she had blue lips and had difficulty breathing. i think anybody who goes in a&e would get to the front of the queue with those. >> she also said she said it was like she'd seen better hospitals in war zones, she said, than that one, which i mean, okay, i'm not convinced that's entirely true, is it? but, but, john, you know, if that was the case and she still decided to step over people and get seen by the lovely palestinian chap, then, you know, maybe that's a problem. >> yes. no. it's terrible. i mean, she just doesn't realise that she's now in a completely different orbit. now she's in government, she's a junior minister and the old phrase going back hundreds of years is noblesse oblige. if you're in a position of power and responsibility, it's all the more important to realise that you don't push your way in the front . you do this and so on. front. you do this and so on. i used to have lunches with cabinet ministers, and i was amazed at the way they were polite to everybody. why? because they're right in the pubuc because they're right in the public eye. everyone's watching them. she is now in a position as a prominent woman labour
10:11 pm
politician and a minister. she's got to be extremely careful and to end up boasting about this shows incompetence as well as, frankly, just naivety. she's not in that position anymore. she's got to change her habits and her behaviour, as has angela rayner. they don't realise how the eyes are on them and they've got to be super careful about whatever they do from now on. >> so i actually really, really had a lot of respect forjess had a lot of respect for jess phillips over her standing up when she was getting berated by some of those men that had been, you know , running the campaign you know, running the campaign against her, in her in her seat. she said that she'd faced, you know, huge amounts of threats and misogyny and all of that stuff. i thought, you know, good for you. well done. and then i look at this now and i think, well, is there a question, alex, that our mps could be compromised by things like, for example, the pro—palestine issue, if you realise now that your public services have been captured by people who are sympathetic towards a particular cause, that actually you might then behave or vote in a certain

way. >> well , that seems to be the >> well, that seems to be the case.i >> well, that seems to be the case. i mean, she's sort of sharing this message out to other mps now, by the way, if you're in a slightly pro—palestine area, you're going to get to the top of the queue. if you go in and say x, y, z, i'm this mp. i think it's pretty scary. and i think that, you know, people like keir starmer said they want to have a fairer society, a fairer britain. zero tolerance. any nonsense like that should stand up and go. actually, i don't want someone like that in my government. >> that is clearly not even i don't know. >> that's going too far to say. you know, it's a naivety, it's a lack of knowledge of what it's like to be in power. 14 years have passed. they've no idea how much the situation has changed. they are right in government now. they can't do this now. a few months ago when this happened, probably wouldn't. she wouldn't think , oh well, why not wouldn't think, oh well, why not admit it? it didn't matter very much. i was ill, i felt very badly. i would have been treated properly. wasn't it sort of strange that they should say about i'd voted for the palestinians? >> she needs to realise, though, is that, like her words now
10:13 pm
actually carry a lot of weight. and even if there was that one person who was in the minority who might have said, oh, you know, come in the queue, jump basically because you support. but the thing is, as soon as she makes that statement, it makes it seem as if every single doctor and then also pointing out that , you know, the majority out that, you know, the majority of them were palestinian doctors. what she's done now is actually put a target on this person's head, and people are now going to be calling for this person to be fired. >> well, he should we shouldn't do that. >> no, they shouldn't do that. >> no, they shouldn't do that. >> she has openly admitted that he put her forward because of her political views. that is wrong. it should never happen. >> the other aspect. >> the other aspect. >> but he didn't say that, did he? >> that's what she said. >> that's what she said. >> well, but but i think i think for a lot of, for a lot of jewish people in britain at the moment are the ones that i've spoken to. when people do go to shops or they go, they use the pubuc shops or they go, they use the public services and there are people there who've got the palestine badge on, okay. i think for them, some of them are not speaking on behalf of the jewish community here, of which i am not a member. but i think some of them do feel as though that might be a bit of a show of
10:14 pm
force. and what does that mean in terms of what kind of service you're going to get if you're visibly jewish and stuff like this reinforces it. stuff like this reinforces it. stuff like this that we had at the manchester hospital, at withenshaw hospital, i think it was as well, you know, reinforces it. and i think that thatis reinforces it. and i think that that is that is a bit of a bit of a problem, isn't it? >> look, let's just replace the pro—palestine with something like edl, for example. right imagine the outcry from the left if someone said, oh, they're sympathetic to my edl views, for example, ridiculously radical, like that. the left would be an absolute furore, calling for this guy to be struck off the list if they want to play the game that way, everyone, they should be treated with the same back. strike this guy off the register. show this is not acceptable in our country. no matter what your political views are, nobody gets preferential treatment and i do worry about it. we go back to that conversation about mps. you're right to call out , patrick, how right to call out, patrick, how might this affect their vote? how might this affect a sick mp, for example, someone who's undergoing treatment? many mps get ill. will they worry now that if they don't take a pro—palestine stance that they won't get seen? >> well, there shouldn't really be politics in the nhs. i mean, for a long time there was a lot of i think, you know, quite woke
10:15 pm
ideology in the nhs. we've done numerous segments on this show about, you know, whether or not the lgbt, especially the tea bit, has had some kind of big impact there. and what that might mean for people who don't share those views. but joanna, i would argue that jess phillips has actually been whether or not she's been tutor here, but she has been when it came to those people who were mobbed up on the roundabout. this follows her tweeting that they were only really there because they heard about the edl. well, all right, but they were also there with machetes. they weren't obeying the law. and then they kicked a blokes head outside a pub shortly after that. >> well, i think it is realistic though, when the riots were going on, obviously we have to look at who was rioting first and who was being the agitator first. and i think that she was right to an extent, to say that these people were there to defend themselves. were there people as well within that crowd who did turn up with machetes and who did jump that guy outside of the pub? yes, there were, but it goes back to the same thing about her understanding what her position is and how she has to almost, you know, make statements that aren't as inflammatory and don't put a target on her. >> she's got to hit on other people as well. she has to learn
10:16 pm
to walk through the minefield. now, every senior politician knows exactly when i'm using that phrase. you know exactly what they're talking about. they're saying, oh, be careful . they're saying, oh, be careful. maybe misunderstood. hold on a moment. all your points are perfectly good, patrick. i don't particularly with regard to anti—semitism. you know, these are very serious problems. and that's why all the people, particularly in government, you know, it's easy enough to say, oh, we should all behave the same way and they should be sacked. and so on. no, people in government have to learn, and they do learn and don't expect jess phillips to be boasting about this in a few weeks time. she will know that jess phillips is even unique in this situation. >> i think this is where you kind of start to see the dividing line between who's a career politician and who isn't , career politician and who isn't, because you can see the dividing line in terms of who really recognises the demographic of their seat. and it works both ways. you know, she probably panders a lot to certain communities because she's very aware she wants to keep her seat. at the end of the day. but then equally, you've got other people as well for example,
10:17 pm
there was another mp who was, you know, standing up and basically disclosing which houday basically disclosing which holiday inn in her constituency because people want their houdayinn because people want their holiday inn back. and she tweeted that publicly. and then obviously that shows people exactly what location to go to , exactly what location to go to, to then try to burn it down. so what i'm saying is that it also works both sides, and what we need to work towards in this country is politicians really recognising their position and not just pandering to be able to keep their job. do you think we should have some, do you think just to to just just to round this off, do you think there should be some kind of investigation into whether it's the nhs or the education system or the civil service as to whether or not their political views, in this case, the pro—palestine situation is impacting the job that they're doing and the quality of output they are delivering to the taxpayer. >> well, look, i said this months ago, there should be a pubuc months ago, there should be a public investigation into whether there is 2a2 tier system in our country , particularly for in our country, particularly for our civil service, our national health service and our justice health service and ourjustice system, because it's getting quite obvious that people are saying, don't believe what your
10:18 pm
eyes and ears tell you. and i think, what would the best way the government could put this to bed is to go, let's have a pubuc bed is to go, let's have a public investigation. let's have no, no. >> because then the argument goes on, no, don't worry, she will have got the message. most, most , most will have got the message. most, most, most senior politicians will have got the message. now be much more careful. cover it up. most. no, wait a moment. no, no, don't be silly. no. and the doctor, the nhs and the national service. >> no. >> no. >> the doctors, the doctors will also realise they shouldn't be doing this. i hope so. >> it's two signs you're clutching at straws. anyway. everything is two tier now because it's a justification. now isn't it? it's so funny because it's like people have been talking about two tier systems, whether it's systematic racism , whether it's about racism, whether it's about anything else, and nobody's been bothered. and now it's like, oh, well, you know, we would like to see more police on the streets in this other instance. now you start to see what discrimination actually means when you feel like you're the victim of it. >> i think, i think, i think now now more so than ever, we have been given some cast iron examples of things you can
10:19 pm
physically hold side by side and. yeah. all right. you're right. maybe there was always there's been cast iron examples all the time . all the time. >> it's a matter of whether people choose to recognise it when it actually is on their doorstep or not, because there's been really kind of severe things, even in the criminal justice system. it then you should literally you should welcome it. >> if you're saying that there's a problem, then welcome, welcome an investigation. >> all right, guys, look, we're going to we're going to have to draw a line under this now because i've got a cracking segment coming next. it's an exclusive for you. look. but at 1030 i will obviously have all of your front pages. i want you angela rayner. she's jetted off to ibiza, left her boss keir starmer to break the bad news to people. hey hey hey hey. >> things will get worse before they get better . they get better. >> and don't miss a gb news exclusive. yes, that's right. some good for news nigel farage's reform uk. but next, plans for a massive temporary housing development in a little welsh town originally meant for ukrainian refugees, has left
10:20 pm
10:23 pm
10:24 pm
town of clanton. major have sparked outrage among local residents despite vale of glamorgan council originally stating that the development would be used to house ukrainian refugees. locals now claim this is no longer the case, leaving major question marks over who will eventually move into the accommodation, which is set to open by the end of the summer. residents are now taking legal action against the council, claiming that their local authority also hasn't yet secured the correct planning permission for it. there's a lot going on there. they also say that apparently it takes them a heck of a long time to get to the local shops and it might have been nice if a shop had been built there as opposed to this whopping great big housing development for people from goodness knows where. but for more details, i'm joined by political commentator lee harris. lee, thank you very, very much. and lee, is this a sign of things to come? do you think we're hearing now that labour are going to be building these housing developments and that it's going to be social housing, etc, is the reality
10:25 pm
that a lot of that in small villages or towns like this is just going to be full of people who've just been granted asylum. >> i think that's a evidently true. i mean, was it angela rayner said that every part of britain will take their fair share of migrants and she's also, you know, disgracefully dropped tory plans to prioritise british citizens over migrants in social housing and even dropped plans to ban terrorists from social housing. housing. it's absolutely madness. but i think, you know, going back to what your point over the next sort of 10 to 15 years, it's estimated that population will increase by another 6.5 million, 90% of that from migration. and you know, this is the equivalent to five cities the size of birmingham. you know, just think what that means for nhs schools , what that means for nhs schools, housing, and social cohesion, you know , we have to build you know, we have to build 515,000 homes every year just to keep up with migration. >> i think just because we've got this on the screen at the
10:26 pm
moment, what we can see here is, is a development being built right on the back of existing properties. so you've got a town here that's some sums it up perfectly. you've got that new development there of whatever you want to call it, whether it's portacabins or new smaller dwellings. okay. and literally the fence right at the back of it is people's houses, you know, a combination of social housing in some parts of it and privately owned properties with not a lot of social amenities going on around them. you know, thatis going on around them. you know, that is there. that used to be a school, apparently, that that we're seeing there now. i mean, that will irreversibly change that will irreversibly change that area , won't it? that area, won't it? >> yes. >> yes. >> this is yet another example of out of touch elite, the out of out of touch elite, the out of touch elite class imposing their open borders ideology on working class brits who yet again, who are not being heard. >> poll after poll, election after election. the british people have demanded that immigration levels are reduced and for the last 2 to 3 decades they've been lied to. there is absolutely no mandate for this
10:27 pm
and people are understandably angry. just like in this village, they are not being listened to and the other aspect to it as well is they actually go one step further than that. >> a lot of people claim that they're being lied to or to put it, possibly slightly more mildly, deliberately misled. so if they're told originally that this is for ukrainian refugees, you think women and children , you think women and children, okay. and people i think are more inclined to think that's okay. we can also see that there is a physical war taking place in ukraine and all of that stuff. so there's a kind of moral justification for it in your local area. you could also make the pretty clear case i think that maybe, culturally speaking, people here in britain do have a bit more in common with ukrainian people than dare i say it, people from the middle east. but actually, when it turns out that that's not true and that there's not going to be ukrainian refugees living in there, it just makes people think, well, why have you tried to pull the wool over our eyes? and then the other aspect of it
10:28 pm
is, well, will you then just be called far right in a racist if you don't, if you decide that you've got more of a problem with people from a certain part of the world living there as opposed to ukrainians, well, this is what gets me, patrick, going back to what you said about trust. >> trust at the moment in this country within politics is completely and utterly broken. i mean, just look at the last election with how no one pretty much turned out to vote for the conservatives, and a slight underestimation, but because and thatis underestimation, but because and that is because people are they've lost complete trust. there's been so much lying going on about trying to reduce immigration that it is understandable that people, just especially in this situation , especially in this situation, just don't believe what they're seeing. i mean, like like you said this, this housing area, they didn't, as far as i'm aware, do a proper consultation with the people that live there, you know, they haven't worked out what the impact of the community is, and in this case, it genuinely does seem like they they have actually lied to the people there. i mean, i think there's 25 million has already been spent on this so far. so
10:29 pm
the locals who live there. yeah, quite rightly , believe that quite rightly, believe that there's no way to stop it. this is happening. and like you said, this is a sign of things to come. no one, absolutely no one believes that, no one sensible believes that, no one sensible believes that, no one sensible believes that keir starmer is going to smash the gangs. so the truth is, labour, just like the conservatives, have no coherent plan at all to deal with the levels of migration. >> this is permanent. you see this? this is the thing. now, there's been a there's been a welsh government, there's been a labour government in wales for quite a long time now, and a very long time now. and i think the concern for a lot of people is that this is this is a sign of things to come. and that is thatis of things to come. and that is that is one of now several i mean, unequivocally permanent bases in wales that, you know, it appears are going to be used or in some cases are being used predominantly by new arrivals, shall we say, asylum seekers. and when you look at that, you know, a lot of people have been saying this for a very, very long time, which is, you know, it might only be when these
10:30 pm
places start popping up literally in your back garden that more people wake up to the actual scale of the problem when it comes to our illegal migrant crisis. but can i just say a massive thank you to you? great to have you on the show. lee harris, our political commentator. now, i have a very lengthy right of reply here from a vale of glamorgan council spokesperson . and so they say spokesperson. and so they say that the units, these are what you just saw on your screens there. the units are a mix of single and two storey homes for use by couples and families either fleeing the war in ukraine or already on the council housing waiting list. the provision of temporary homes at this site is in line with the council's commitment to assist those who have suffered forced displacement as a result of conflict in ukraine, and also reflects an urgent need to increase the availability of homes at a time when there is a significant shortage of housing. the council's planning committee received a range of representations regarding the application, all of which were considered as part of the
10:31 pm
decision making process, so it remains to be seen, doesn't it? exactly, exactly who ends up living in those houses there? but coming up. well, i've got the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages for you, so don't miss that my press pack will be there to tackle it all. and of course, yes, i think we will be dealing with the fact, won't we, that you know angela rayner well, bless her. well, she's not dreaming up policies inspired by union. she's having it off in ibiza . hey, hey, hey. ibiza. hey, hey, hey. >> things will get worse before they get better . they get better. >> yeah. and look. hey, don't miss a gb news exclusive. straight after the papers . it's good news for farage's reform uk. stay
10:34 pm
10:35 pm
tomorrow's newspaper front pages. so stay tuned . right. pages. so stay tuned. right. it's the daily express and is weight loss drug the secret to fountain of youth? taking a weight loss drug could provide a fountain of youth apparently tackling the underlying causes of a wide range of conditions and so they are saying, i'm assuming it's this weight loss drug is called wegovy, which is it's in the same kind of bracket as ozempic, i think, isn't it? this thing they're basically saying it's got a load of other, you know, good things for you as well. let's go to the times weight loss, drugs, kerb effects of getting old ozempic here as well. and it slows biological ageing, says researchers. so this is supposedly some kind of miracle drug that, you know, does more than just, just help you, you know , stop being you, you know, stop being a fatty. let's go to the daily telegraph. ozempic hailed as fountain of youth. they've really gone on on this . is this really gone on on this. is this really gone on on this. is this really the biggest story for the country? i'm not sure it is, but, hey, who am i to judge, heart and kidney disease trials put pressure on the nhs to open up put pressure on the nhs to open
10:36 pm
up the drug to millions. let's go over to the daily mail, william and harry didn't share a word at memorial to the estranged princes. both attended their uncle's funeral service. but witnesses said that they appeared to stay apart. and also as well. i read an article earlier on that appeared to indicate that the vicar himself had spoken out about it, which is quite unusual, isn't it, that the vicar, apparently someone's collared him and gone. like, you've got to be honest, haven't you? you've got to be honest with me, there is also on the front of the independent, you know, the big picture story there is angela rayner, or should that be angela raver? hey, deputy prime minister, let's rip to house dj in ibiza super club. can i just say i've got some big questions about this , right? because this this, right? because this emerged. because denise van outen put it on instagram. >> she was taking the. she did the picture. >> so she's absolutely shafted . >> so she's absolutely shafted. angela rayner here by putting it out. unless rayner wanted it.
10:37 pm
the other thing is angela rayner isn't just at this super club , isn't just at this super club, she's in the dj booth right , two she's in the dj booth right, two tier clubbing. >> and i was going to say, i'm just going to say it costs a heck of a lot of money to go to ibiza and to go to these super clubs and to get in the vip area, and i don't know, maybe it was because of her stance on palestine, maybe she's getting it now. >> it could be right. final one the guardian thames water lobbied officials for higher bills, apparently, and pressure was put on the government to make ofwat allow a big increases to your bills. right. let's let's, let's get stuck into angela rayner's trip to ibiza. so she enjoys a vape, as often spoken about her love for the lethal venom cocktail. yes, labour's deputy prime minister angela rayner, is certainly no stranger to a party and fair play stranger to a party and fair play to her. she's hit the headunes play to her. she's hit the headlines after she was spotted partying in the dj booth of an ibiza nightclub last night. but that's very different from the sombre tone that her boss, sir
10:38 pm
keir starmer, was striking on tuesday when he warned brits of the pain to come at the budget in october. you cannot make sense , will you? sense, will you? >> so don't even start . >> so don't even start. >> so don't even start. >> but i have to be honest with you , things are worse than we you, things are worse than we ever imagined . things will get ever imagined. things will get worse before they get better . worse before they get better. there is a budget coming in october and it's going to be painful . painful. >> well, there we go, so , you >> well, there we go, so, you know, i don't know what. alex. is this a is this a bad look for angela rayner? at the time, we were all being to told cut our cloth and everything. >> it's horrendous, isn't it? i mean, look, there'll be so many people who'll say, look, she's entitled to have a holiday and have a party, but these are the same people, right, who are going to tell you when michael gove was out partying, that he
10:39 pm
should have been at work and it's a bad look for michael gove. so we're either for politicians having a party or we're not. frankly i think it's a bit of a slap in the face. you've got keir starmer over here in the uk crushing working class people's rights, crushing the pubs and she's meant to be this working class hero and now she's out in this most expensive, one of the most expensive, one of the most expensive clubs in ibiza , raving expensive clubs in ibiza, raving it up while her boss is out slamming the workers. well, hang on a minute while we're on the topic of two tier, why wasn't anybody up in arms? >> and why wasn't it like the leading story in the front of newspapers when rishi sunak, who is still leader of the opposition, if i'm not mistaken, was in a michelin star restaurant in california while the riots basically the country, half the country. >> i agree with you about that. >> i agree with you about that. >> i agree with you about that. >> i said that i did say that, but you're right. that was not that was not picked up. he was in a beverly hills restaurant. well, by the way, i imagine he's going to be ended up spending a lot of time in future, you know, this michelin star restaurant where i think the i think, you know, a pizza cost £40 or something like that. >> yeah, but he was. he'd lost
10:40 pm
the election, so he's no longer the election, so he's no longer the truth. no, no, no, what i draw conclusion from this is keir starmer was right not to go on holiday, and she was wrong to appear like this at a time when she knew what her boss, keir starmer, was going to have to talk about. but the other key point is that, in fact, from her point is that, in fact, from her point of view , she's elected point of view, she's elected separately from him. so it's not the same. he can't simply sack her just the same. he can't simply sack herjust like the same. he can't simply sack her just like that. the same. he can't simply sack herjust like that. no. so that's it always makes the power position of both of them very different. and frankly , she's different. and frankly, she's getting away with all sorts of things. >> when are mps as normal people ever going to be able to kind of separate their work and their private life at the end of the day, after covid, if this was in the thick of covid or you know, when, when the country, the country was burning and stuff, then that is a problem when literally your country is experiencing riots and you're in a michelin star restaurant. but if angela rayner can't do it now, then she can't do it in three years. >> exactly. and she won't and she won't be able to. >> you're a politician. you're
10:41 pm
just not allowed to say no. >> holidays are politics. if you talk to any prime minister, what's he got to do? from harold wilson onwards , they know wilson onwards, they know perfectly well where they go . perfectly well where they go. what else is happening when they have to return to london when there's an emergency? can i just say it's just one of those things that happened there in politics all the time? yeah, but i mean, there is there is a demographic of people who will look at that and she will be more popular as a result. >> yeah. it's relatable. >> yeah. it's relatable. >> yeah. it's relatable. >> yeah. but it's going to be a younger demographic. let's face it. first of all, she's also a breath takes away from 10 downing street. she's the deputy prime minister so i assume if anything happens to keir starmer, she will be at least in position to take over in the she won't automatically take over. >> there's no mechanism for that. >> well, as deputy prime minister, she would in the short. >> it's not like vice president in america. people are, as usual mixing it up on differences. can we actually just make clear what is the crime that angela rayner has actually committed here? >> is it that she's in a very serious position and then she's been seen enjoying herself, i think, or is it keir starmer? >> well, i think i think so the day before that or two days before that, keir starmer was in the rose garden outside downing
10:42 pm
street, depressing the backside of the nation, telling us that things are horrific and, you know, your taxes, which they are up. >> yeah, your taxes are going to go >> yeah, your taxes are going to 9° up >> yeah, your taxes are going to go up and everything's in absolute shock, which they will. yeah. but and then i think she's guilty of being a bit tone deaf perhaps. i think that's the crime tone . but but, but but crime tone. but but, but but that would, that would be the, that would, that would be the, that would, that would be the, that would be the optics of it wouldn't it. you're right there. >> yeah. but she's, she's still, she's still entitled to enjoy herself. and i think that no she's not relatable and actually no, no, no. if we look at angela rayner's journey, you know, with social mobility and stuff, if i was her, i would be celebrating that. you know, i've come from a council estate and then now i'm, you know, all the more reason, all the more reason to enjoy. you know what? if she was like, all over social media filming herself and gloating, but also, you know, she was in this dj booth, she was with her celebrity friend and somebody took a video of her. >> i think that's the thing. it's just out of touch and people don't like to see their politicians out being out of touch or being stupid politically, which is what that is. and her looking at like she's in a club, look, she looks
10:43 pm
like she's in a club and there's a lot of people associate those things when you're in a car. i'm not going to say them on tv, but there's a lot of people who associate things with that, and it just is not a good look for someone who's deputy prime minister. i mean, it was a party in a small club somewhere. >> maybe you snowflakes you got. you called me snowflake, but like, why are you even making a big deal out of this? it just seems like it's the next big thing to be outraged. >> i'll be honest with you. genuinely. my take on this is just that i find it absolutely hilarious. yeah, we've got keir starmer there saying, you know, he's the serious man and he's going to guide us through this storm, you know, a show. and then just literally if you just pan the camera to angela rayner, she's a have a bit of that blowing off some steam because when she is in england she's working very hard to make sure that the country doesn't fall apart. >> well, i'm sure she could work from home in no less than four days a week. >> all right. okay. right. gb news can exclusively reveal this is a shift in tone now that reform uk has seen a huge surge in donations, just hours after a major donor defected away from the party and vowed to make nigel farage redundant. so
10:44 pm
ex—newcastle united owner sir john hall gave financial backing to mr farage and his party dunng to mr farage and his party during the general election, but he's now pulled his support and thrown his cash behind tory leadership hopeful robert jenrick . despite the move jenrick. despite the move expected to be a hit to reform , expected to be a hit to reform, the party has now told gb news that yesterday it saw donations 30% higher than usual coming from its grass roots membership. so is reform uk becoming a major force to be reckoned with? is this the farage effect still rolling on strong? i suppose the question will for be reform, isn't it? is it? how much grass roots can the grassroots be better than a whopping great big multi—millionaire donor? but time time will tell. coming up my press pack, they nominate their greatest briton and their union jackass. in just a moment, there might be a little surprise entry as well in that, so keep your eyes peeled. but next, more of tomorrow's newspaper front pages coming and fast. they

labour. eight weeks into starmer's tenure . so there we starmer's tenure. so there we 90, starmer's tenure. so there we go, those are those are all of your front pages , now i've got your front pages, now i've got a bit of a different story, a new edition for you. so get your heads around this. the sun are reporting that sir keir starmer's top business adviser attended the 10 downing street lockdown party that the prime minister slammed days ago. varun chandra , apparently attended chandra, apparently attended this party. this is just coming into us now, starmer said. a garden and a building that were once used for lockdown parties. remember the pictures just over there of the wine and the food? well that was that was in his speech in the rose garden. the other day. well, it turns out shock, horror that at that party was his now business adviser. that's a bit of a it's a bit of a bad luck, isn't it? >> there's a name for it, sir.
10:49 pm
two tier keir. i think it's quite popular. >> oh go on sean . quite popular. >> oh go on sean. i mean quite popular. >> oh go on sean . i mean that's >> oh go on sean. i mean that's a not a great look. >> no okay. >> no okay. >> this one is not a great look. okay this one this one's different. yeah, yeah. angela rayner party away. no i agree with that. i do agree with this, i don't know how we can wriggle out of this. i mean, it's not just the optics. it's literally i think this is going to be thrown at him for the rest of the week now. and for any time that he says anything, especially when they're back. and because obviously covid was such a big thing, the whole party scandal was such a big thing, and it's always going to be a really heavy thing that they can kind of throw back in they can kind of throw back in the house of commons, but he can't. >> you know, i think he's going to be a big problem for him here is because it opens up the boris johnson door again, because now if boris johnson does come back and robert jenrick has said that he thinks he will put him in his cabinet if he becomes leader, i would imagine a couple of the others might as well. you know, they can't. they can't stand across that despatch box. you've got the partygate guy. there they go. well you've got him advising your business. yeah. >> there has to be a by—election
10:50 pm
first. i mean, boris is quite a long way from returning to power, but i think the message is that you know, it's okay for the labour party to do it, but if it's the tories, we've got to go full force and have a press conference reminding everybody of it. >> i mean, if the prime minister's got to show that he's fair and if he's being fair, he should sack this guy and say, sorry, actually, i made a mistake. >> or maybe i didn't want to wait for that, i do, yeah, i'm on a sacking spree. >> let's start a new recession, shall we? just for fun. >> what are you critiquing? my performance at the end of this, i'd be. i'd be off as well. >> but you can't. >> but you can't. >> you can't say that. it's also one rule, because this is literally just come out. what if he says, well, actually, i didn't know either, but that's what i'm saying. >> well, that's that's what i'm saying. if keir starmer didn't know the right thing to do, then would be to let him go. we've got a slight more detail and then we'll move on. >> downing street have apparently declined to comment, but sources argued that mr chandra was attending a meeting with civil service officials in the that evening. so beer the garden that evening. so beer and curry, that clears that up, right. it's time to reveal today's greatest britain reunion, jackass. and we're going to start the union going to start with the union jackasses tonight, if that's all right, who is your right, so, john, who is your union jackass, please. well, it's got to be heinz, hasn't it? >> because they've. you know, i think you all know the problem.
10:51 pm
they have produced this strange concoction . spaghetti carbonara concoction. spaghetti carbonara in a tin. now the problem about this is not only is it a terrible way to eat spaghetti carbonara, it needs to be fresh. it needs to be properly cooked. but it's a simple thing to cook. so for young people who are then attracted by this, can they eat this stuff? no, i don't think much of that. and it'll put them off learning the very simple steps you have to take to convert pasta, and something quite simple like guanciale if you're very keen, or even bacon, gina comes out saying have your own cooking show next one. >> charlie used to play up front for chelsea. >> yeah, anyway, that's the one. >> yeah, anyway, that's the one. >> that's the worry. so you're putting off young people like my grandson who's starting at university in this week? yeah he would be busy encouraged to track him down and make him eat a tin of that. >> right. okay, giovanna, whose union jack is mine, is, jazz athwal. >> i didn't even know who he
10:52 pm
was, but now he's all over the papers and been the labour mp who's been accused of renting out his flats that have black mould and ant infections. yeah, so, yeah, i mean, for the labour party. well, yeah, that's my jackass for the labour party who obviously talking about rent control, talking about you know, landlords and stuff like that. again, it's another bad look. it is gobsmacked. >> go on. brilliant choice. >> go on. brilliant choice. >> brilliant choice . mine's >> brilliant choice. mine's angela rayner for aforementioned reasons okay. partying in ibiza while the country's working class are getting crushed. >> fair enough. now, i, i picked these a little while ago, and i think i went for angela rayner from memory , but, i might now from memory, but, i might now just change that to jazz as well, because i think that's how they're going to change it to hinds. well, no, i mean, the other thing with that housing is it has actually caused a diplomatic incident because the hauans diplomatic incident because the italians are apparently quite angry about it, but everybody's angry about it, but everybody's angry about it now. we're pressed for time. so let's let's keep this quick. who's your greatest britain? >> joe root, obviously, of his fantastic century at lord's yesterday, our greatest present
