9:07 pm
increase the likely to be our next prime minister, which is why we should take the things he says he will do and fair play. he has rebuilt hated his party impressively , tackling the evil impressively, tackling the evil of antisemitism and, curtailing the hard left in his . so it's the hard left in his. so it's arguably his to lose at this stage . but this arguably his to lose at this stage. but this man campaigned for jeremy corbyn to be prime minister, which would have been national security and disaster. still has some unwelcome remnants of corbynism in his policy platform. he has made regrettable decision to once play regrettable decision to once play the politics of envy and start a class war with a headune start a class war with a headline grabbing plan to clobber private schools with taxes that could cause to go under and will price thousands of kids out under the labour plan, private will lose their charter status and pay 20% vat on fees something ex labour tony
9:08 pm
blair would never dreamed of doing. so does this mean in reality ? well, it's feared that reality? well, it's feared that upwards of 90,000 pupils. that's right. 90 zero. 1000 pupils would exit the private sector and need a state education as fees become unaffordable for families . so fees become unaffordable for families. so who are fees become unaffordable for families . so who are these families. so who are these 90,000 families that will be impacted by this spiteful and, regressive tax? well they're not rich. high flyers , not russian rich. high flyers, not russian oligarchs . they are rich. high flyers, not russian oligarchs. they are humble rich. high flyers, not russian oligarchs . they are humble brits oligarchs. they are humble brits working , hard doing extra hours working, hard doing extra hours , skipping holidays and fancy cars and investing in their children. so policy will disproportionately families on lower income mums who managed to scrape together enough to educate their kids privately. private schools, in my view, must have a charitable status because they are outlets of
9:09 pm
education. they are teaching the next generation of kids and it's in all of our interests for state and private schools to exist and to do a brilliant job together. british private schools are world and some of the greatest higher achievers flock to the uk in the knowledge that their offspring will get a great education clobber. private schools . and it's another schools. and it's another disincentive . people that disincentive. people that achieve great things to come and do that here in britain. in some cases, these schools have hundreds of years of history produced engineers , artists, produced engineers, artists, scientists and even prime ministers and in this act of and cultural vandals some a labour government would effectively be slapping a tax on learning style was a pupil at reigate grammar school when it transitioned into a fee paying institution . so he a fee paying institution. so he comes from school. the local
9:10 pm
authority his fees but a private education in it was nonetheless . jeremy corbyn went to private as well. of course he . even as well. of course he. even labour's ultra socialist diane abbott. a pillar of the left a progressive icon . well, she left progressive icon. well, she left her principles at the school gate when she sent her son. yes to a top private school . you to a top private school. you couldn't make it up . starmer couldn't make it up. starmer says that the money raised will go into state schools . but the go into state schools. but the problem is that the tens thousands of kids evicted from private sector will be going into state schools as well . into state schools as well. where are those? 90,000 school places going to magically come from? most families can't. places going to magically come from? most families can't . a from? most families can't. a good local school at the best of times, with many doing hour commute both ways . what will commute both ways. what will this do to ? pressure on school this do to? pressure on school places and the current cost of secondary education per pupil. is around seven and a half thousand pounds a year for the
9:11 pm
predicted 90,000 kids that would leave the private sector . that's leave the private sector. that's an annual bill of hundred and £75 million. now, assuming that these kids attend state school from the age of 11 to 18, that's an cost to the taxpayer of almos t £5 an cost to the taxpayer of almost £5 billion. you see the problem here. one step forward , problem here. one step forward, two steps backwards . full two steps backwards. full disclosure . i was educated disclosure. i was educated privately . not my decision. privately. not my decision. worth remembering that when you castigate anyone that's been to an independent school, my parents from ireland to the uk with nothing. they ran a pub for 40 years and they scrimped saved and yes, borrowed to give me the opportunity . i challenge anyone opportunity. i challenge anyone . the private sector , to look my . the private sector, to look my parents in the eye and tell them that their hard work , their that their hard work, their struggle and, the endless loans that they signed up for was a
9:12 pm
bad thing . something to be bad thing. something to be ashamed of , bad thing. something to be ashamed of, or even dare i say it, something that makes you a bad person . now my kids go bad person. now my kids go a state school and it's incredible . in an ideal world, all of our kids would go to fabulous state schools. but we don't . in an schools. but we don't. in an ideal world and people like choice . and like so many british choice. and like so many british institutions , our education institutions, our education system has always been a quirky mix , a private grammar mix, a private grammar academies, free schools , church academies, free schools, church schools, comprehensives. you name it. they don't need cancel each other out. they can enhance each other out. they can enhance each other out. they can enhance each other in the end. this is a cheap policy from a cheap politician which will diminish opportunity for future generations . on the strength of generations. on the strength of this policy , my school report this policy, my school report for keir starmer , a one must try for keir starmer, a one must try harder . see for keir starmer, a one must try harder. see me after for keir starmer, a one must try harder . see me after class. for keir starmer, a one must try harder. see me after class. i'm giving your homework and if.
9:13 pm
harder. see me after class. i'm giving your homework and if . and giving your homework and if. and i don't give a lot of people an f, let me tell you. what's your view f, let me tell you. what's your view mark@gbnews.uk? i'd f, let me tell you. what's your view mark@gbnews.uk? i'd love to hearif view mark@gbnews.uk? i'd love to hear if you agree. i'd love to hear if you agree. i'd love to hear from you if you don't agree. because this show is a broad church and all opinions are welcome . i'll get to your are welcome. i'll get to your emails shortly. reacting my big opinion on my fantastic who are here all night. we academic dr. lisa mackenzie broadcaster tommy sandu and political commentator emma wolfe. lisa, let me start with you. i that in an ideal world, all our kids would go to fabulous schools. but these private have a history. they make a contribution. and to the eviction of 90,000 kids would cost the a fortune . where we cost the a fortune. where we call that figure from 95 which is probably representative of the 5% who are saying who are saying that because the 80 goes on school fees it will price parents out of the market.
9:14 pm
they'll take their kids out. what does that from a representative of private that have got an interest not getting rid of the charitable because of the tax they'll save. so let's just set to one side. but i think the biggest issue that we're talking about here is what depnve we're talking about here is what deprive schools do in the uk and why is this such a massive market for private schools and the reason why private schools are so popular amongst, the reason why private schools are so popular amongst , the are so popular amongst, the middle class, and that is who will send in their children to schools? it's not, you know, i absolutely believe that your parents from ireland and want the best for you and saved and scrimped and did all that they're all very. there are some people that do that but the majority of parents that send their kids to private or their kids to private school or middle class who know that by sending their kids to private school they are almost like cheating the system . they know cheating the system. they know that there will be unfair
9:15 pm
advantages attached to their kids going to private school. i teach in universities . i see teach in universities. i see these unfair, advanced every day by see the unfair advantages . by see the unfair advantages. and you know if people want to send kids to private school, i am more happy they can do that. however what they've got to do is understand inequality in britain is rising. is understand inequality in britain is rising . social britain is rising. social mobility has been stagnate for about 20 years. and by sending child to private school are ultimately cheating, the because private schools are particularly focussed on a—level results where they sat and on which schools those children go, which universities those go to. they're really focussed on that. and so then you got go to a good university a russell group university from old private school and therefore your social caphal school and therefore your social capital, your economic capital and your culture all capital, all sort of aligns. and then
9:16 pm
that gives you unfair advantages over people that didn't go to private schools i've worked in many many russell group universities and students on the first day they ask each other which school did you go to? they are not asked what school you went to . what they're asking is went to. what they're asking is where abouts in the hierarchy , where abouts in the hierarchy, do you figure, because school is better than what ? and if you are better than what? and if you are a working student at a good at a russell university and you are asked question which school did you go to ? and you just say your you go to? and you just say your ordinary comprehensive school, they know where to run you and. that happens all the way . their that happens all the way. their school life and then all the way into their work life. well sir, i defer to your knowledge as , an i defer to your knowledge as, an educator and of course your brilliance at what you do. you're entitled to your view. but what's yours , wolf? you're entitled to your view. but what's yours , wolf ? look, i but what's yours, wolf? look, i think keir starmer's proposal
9:17 pm
here is utter hypocrisy, given his own background . his wife his own background. his wife went to private school as well but also it's utterly stupid . i but also it's utterly stupid. i think it's a myth like , say, think it's a myth like, say, mark, it's a myth that all private school families are wealthy . i'm another example. wealthy. i'm another example. i went to the top girls private school in, the uk. my parents have never had any money. they are poor as church mice. i went through a combination of bursaries, scholarships and just saving my parents from just any of those. i'm to think, well okay, but bursaries you can apply for bursaries and what people on if they are to think so. i mean, you know there's a limited of all of these things, but all of those all of those people are super wealthy. they parents who really about their children's education. and lisa makes some interesting points but i just don't agree that parents are trying to buy privilege trying to trying to game the system or get that unfair . it is game the system or get that unfair. it is about education. it's about, you know, my parents education. my parents brought us
9:18 pm
up without television. it's another they cared passionately about reading a book. so therefore, they us to go to the best schools . i also think it's best schools. i also think it's very odd that in this country you can money on flat screen tvs , cars, a brand new four by four, jeep , foreign holidays, four, jeep, foreign holidays, canbbean four, jeep, foreign holidays, caribbean holidays , fake nails. caribbean holidays, fake nails. you can spend your money on whatever you like. and no one criticises you. but if you to spend money on your child's education, if you dare to prioritise your child's education, you're basically a toff. you are basically you're fair game. and i think that is appalling. well, i do think what lisa has had to say will reflect the view of many . lisa has had to say will reflect the view of many. but what's yours, tommy? my kids are in private school. so to just that, right now, two of them and lisa's . that's what lisa is. lisa's. that's what lisa is. lisa's. that's what lisa is. lisa's hating the privilege. and i've got this thing about private. i've got to say, the reason my parents or grandparents came to this country is for progress is the privilege that this country has, which is a great educational
9:19 pm
system. if we can if you can afford to put your kids in private education, should i even think there should be a tax relief mark a tax? because i'm not taking from the state, from like mine education, so why not me some money back? because it's expensive and you're we do expensive and you're right we do stretch ourselves for education. expensive and you're right we do stre do ourselves for education. expensive and you're right we do stre do stretches for education. expensive and you're right we do stre do stretch ourselveslcation. expensive and you're right we do stre do stretch ourselves to tion. we do stretch ourselves to provide . and i will say provide that. and i will say that, know, when you see the that, you know, when you see the car kids, school car park of my kids, school playground it's all lovely. you know, lovely. mainly know, it's all lovely. mainly german. there are people with german. so there are people with money but i actually money there. but i actually think when not a given think when you it's not a given that going to on to a russell that going to go on to a russell group university. and it's true though at these top universities my just recently durham my niece just recently to durham university and a lot of them come from a boarding background and that is the question they ask in the first week is what school did you go to? what school? and they want know. school? and they want to know. and there a clique, those and there is a clique, those that and those private that boarded and those private and but that's and those are not. but that's life. there's to life. and there's going to be different from different different people from different walks of life. and you live your experience. can i just say experience. can i can i just say i give you advice i could give you some advice lisa. i could give you some
9:20 pm
advice. do a quickly advice. i do a lot quickly about. tax relief funding, because private school and apparently accountants give you this saw this sort of advice. if you set a family business and you're your parents get involved in this sort of sending your to private school, you can save up t 0 £5,000 in your own tax . that to £5,000 in your own tax. that certainly sounds like a loophole that should be closed. and i to lisa you know you've made fair points. i think that emma has and tommy so now it's over to the audience what do you think mark@gbnews.uk let me know your opinions . are private schools opinions. are private schools bad for . coming up, opinions. are private schools bad for . coming up , the news bad for. coming up, the news agenda before ten. big sam allardyce live on the show discussing the world cup can england beat wales. discussing the world cup can england beat wales . can wales england beat wales. can wales beat england? we'll talk to the gaffer shortly. may mark meets guest is sir john mp. but in the guest is sirjohn mp. but in the big question if keir wins the next election , can he make next election, can he make britain great again? will starmer be a good prime
9:21 pm
minister? we'll hear from both . minister? we'll hear from both. see shortly.
9:22 pm
9:23 pm
9:24 pm
is keir starmer right to want to slap a vat on private schools? that was the topic of my big opinion monologue. olivia our digital department is crafting into a clip for twitter which will be up shortly. if you missed gb news on twitter. but the emails are coming in thick and fast market gb news. david says mark, you don't gain anything from talking down private education or berating private education or berating private schools. the aim should be bring the same standards to all of non private schools . all of non private schools. helen says why not simply back state grammars ? helen a great state grammars? helen a great question. something we will debate on a future show ? colin debate on a future show? colin says look at france the french education system consists of three stages primary, secondary
9:25 pm
and, higher education. they are generally . they all generally generally. they all generally lead school . generally. they all generally lead school. reading and writing. get rid of all private schools , colin. and last but not schools, colin. and last but not least, how about this from wayne 7 least, how about this from wayne ? absolute corker. wayne says mark, if you send your kids to private school, they will end up in university, then glueing themselves to road in no time . themselves to road in no time. brilliant stuff. listen, keep those emails. it's brilliant stuff. listen, keep those emails . it's always the those emails. it's always the best bit of the show market gb news. don't uk. it's time now for this . yes, it's time. news. don't uk. it's time now for this . yes, it's time . the for this. yes, it's time. the big question in which we tackle a major story of the day. tonight's as keir starmer and labour firmly ahead in the polls with some predicting a 200 seat majority . if starmer becomes majority. if starmer becomes prime minister can he make great again? will he be a good minister to debate this? i'm delighted . welcome. former delighted. welcome. former conservative government minister and television personality ann widdecombe and ex—labour mp , now
9:26 pm
widdecombe and ex—labour mp, now bestselling author simon dunkirk. simon if he becomes prime, can keir starmer make britain great again ? well, he britain great again? well, he certainly can't do worse job than the conservatives have done over the last 12 years. that's sure he'd have to go some lengths to do. i think he's a good leader. i think the jury's still out. you him on on the scorecard and fairly i mean something like a c so there's still much for to do but he's certainly going in the direction he's talking tough on immigration which he hasn't doing previously. he's been very of the eco protest that you've just mentioned . and so he's just mentioned. and so he's making progress , no doubt about making progress, no doubt about that. what he has to be careful of is complacency. he's running into a general election with a mustn't take the conservatives for granted , but he can get for granted, but he can get there and he can be a good prime minister. i'm convinced of that. ann widdecombe his to lose. can
9:27 pm
he do a good job. well, i think he do a good job. well, i think he would make a very possible middle manager in a sort of middling type firm and that's what i know his capabilities stretch to. i certainly don't see him as a prime minister. i mean , is the man who not so ago mean, is the man who not so ago couldn't even say in a television interview , whether it television interview, whether it was possible for a woman to have a male . i mean, that is how a male. i mean, that is how completely and stupid and vacillate he is i'm willing to give an opinion on you know what was at that time quite an issue he doesn't have vision to lead . he doesn't have vision to lead. you need massive . there is you need massive. there is nothing that we know about commons keir starmer's vision . commons keir starmer's vision. what you actually have is a situation is what you can tell what he's going to say tomorrow by looking at today's . so if by looking at today's. so if today's headlines are about too
9:28 pm
much immigration , he will say much immigration, he will say we've got too much immigration. and if today's headlines are about tomorrow, he will say, despite the fact they used to be in favour of the second referendum and was totally anti, you'll say, oh, no, no. you know, we must make the best of brexit. this is a who supported corbyn. now how on earth are you going to trust somebody you know, where is the vision of man who supported corbyn and what's his reaction to taxes? reaction taxes, more of it . on his reaction to taxes? reaction taxes, more of it. on slamming on the private schools example. not in a that is not vision. thatcher had vision trusts. god bless her. she made mess of it, but she had a vision and that is what need and if you can't out the sort of that you want to see and then set out how going to get the. that is not leadership the leadership is not responding to today's . so i mean going
9:29 pm
to today's. so i mean going against today's simon done chuck i wonder whether shares in keir starmer a little too high at the moment . i'm curious about moment. i'm curious about whether voters especially in those wall seats will forgive keir starmer for seeking to reverse brexit and for his support of jeremy corbyn. well i think these are very good points and mixing a number of interesting points. she described him as sort of middle . that's exactly how rishi sunak has described in the sunday. that's how he's been described by number of political commentator artists today. and the public will judge, judge keir starmer , rishi sunak. and keir starmer, rishi sunak. and so really has to pull something out of the bag if he's going to have any impact in terms of the election where i do agree with is in of a innovation provide
9:30 pm
the public with a vision . this the public with a vision. this is where keir really to come to the fore and is a exactly right great prime ministers great leaders offer a vision to the country which the public can buy to . in tony country which the public can buy to. in tony blair did that very much in the run up to 97 and keir starmer is no tony blair, but he has to get somewhere near . the mark in terms of achieving sort of vision that people can into. so in answer to your question mark, if the public going to accept him and buy into , he has to offer then on these absolutely rides he has to craft absolutely rides he has to craft a much stronger than he's currently offering the moment. now carl and cliff, can you please flesh the response , our please flesh the response, our viewers, to the text poll in relation to keir starmer ? we relation to keir starmer? we conducted a twitter poll earlier today and simply had the question. that's the topic of tonight's big question, which is can starmer make britain great again? that's what we asked and here are the results. 9.4% said
9:31 pm
yes. starmer can make britain great again? 90.6 say no . now great again? 90.6 say no. now today i'm going to come that is not a scientific poll . we're not a scientific poll. we're just testing the pulse of our viewers but it does remain the case . the rishi sunak is case. the rishi sunak is considered voters of all parties to be a more suitable prime minister. so do you think that the issue could hold labour back ? i think it might hold labour back, but i don't see any other leader in the ranks that that would do a betterjob. i mean, if you ask, can starmer make britain great again. i the answer even in a very scientific would be no. you know, i don't see greatness in this man but thatis see greatness in this man but that is not what the opinion polls are actually asking that asking you know who would do the better job. who do trust more. they're different questions your to us is can you make britain great. the answer that is a flat
9:32 pm
no . is he deliver anthony and no. is he deliver anthony and you you and you're very evenhanded fair person. you always give credit where it's due and keir starmer has rehabilitated the labour party. he has rid it of the evil anti—semitism. he's put the hard left in their place are in retreat jeremy corbyn's not even in the party. plus he very decisively when it came the windfall tax which i think you and i both against but which the tories have now adopted. and course his his to supporting energy bills was far more timely than that of this current government . so he's had some government. so he's had some wins . well, first of all, you wins. well, first of all, you say he's rehabilitated labour. i think public has rehabilitated laboun think public has rehabilitated labour. they had a staggering in 2019. really staggering . they 2019. really staggering. they had to face up to what corbyn actually meant. they eventually up to the antisemitism that was
9:33 pm
in the party. i mean, it was really rife. i'm not convinced it's in a way not. but i think. yes, you'll. right. he he's made what efforts he can to get rid of that . but i do not think that of that. but i do not think that those things are just done to keir starmer. leaders have taken on their left before , if you on their left before, if you remember, neil kinnock himself . remember, neil kinnock himself. no, right. actually took on militant tendencies. he took on the left and in the light of huge election defeats , labour huge election defeats, labour will go with even the left wing of . labour will go with even the left wing of. labour will go will go with even the left wing of . labour will go with that of. labour will go with that because they want to win. and the reason that we're so successful at containing the left because he was winning and as long as he's winning labour again, as long as he was winning labour would stay with him. but the instant he lost. then you have left coming back to the fore and the they're looking. starmer hasn't rid of them. the looking . can keir starmer make looking. can keir starmer make great again. will simon. dunkirk it seems you think he can
9:34 pm
britain quite good again your final thoughts please . well, in final thoughts please. well, in fairness to your viewers in that opinion poll think what they saying is that will take more than just keir starmer make britain great again that is the reality of it. the most important we've had over the last few is of conservative mps and a fair proportion of them, some elected and 15% have decided to jump ship and not even stand at the next general . even stand at the next general. where i do agree with them is that keir needs to tack the left and he'd do very well by sacking corbyn the party completely and. that would go down very well with the public . fascinating with the public. fascinating conversation . and you're waving conversation. and you're waving your hands . yes. if i could just your hands. yes. if i could just have one come back on that about . conservatives leaving what the issue is when you're looking at the fortunes of a party is not whether people are just leaving parliament, it's whether they are crossing floor. and before
9:35 pm
great defeats we've had substantial numbers and not substantial numbers and not substantial numbers and not substantial numbers but significant numbers of floor crosses . we're not getting full crosses. we're not getting full crosses. we're not getting full crosses. people don't see labour as the answer, even if they're spouting of the conservatives. well let's say change parties and you've got your conservative mps just leaving the party, leaving in the commons and that's a real case of them. well, it's exactly a vote of confidence is . it and but let me confidence is. it and but let me tell you that we will the definitive answer from sitting tory mp greg smith next. we'll be asking why are so many tories standing at the next election? my standing at the next election? my sincere thanks to simon danczuk and where to come don't forget and returns in week's time. she's with us every sunday right through till christmas. and i hope if she's available long beyond that because if anyone could make this show great again it's ann. lots more to get through . so, yes, we will to get through. so, yes, we will find out why so many are standing down at the next
9:36 pm
election. that's our next topic before ten. big sam allardyce. don't go anywhere .
9:37 pm
9:38 pm
9:39 pm
a big reaction to our debate about whether keir starmer can make britain great again. david says hi mark. my issue with starmer is that he will say anything and everything to get elected and then we're in trouble. the hard left have not gone away. they're just lying, waiting to strike . and christine waiting to strike. and christine says, mark the labour party needs andy burnham as a future prime minister. well christine, i agree. i happen think that burnham is a far more talented politician . but there you go. politician. but there you go. keep those coming. market gb news dot uk and as ann widdecombe just in our previous debate it's been another tough week for tories with the news
9:40 pm
that mp was gary streeter diana davison , chloe smith and william davison, chloe smith and william wragg are will all not stand at the next election . there are the next election. there are rumours that over 50 tory mps may indeed not contest their seats a couple of years time. so why are many conservatives choosing not to stand again? let's now to conservative mp greg smith, who is the member for buckingham. good evening, mr. smith, thank you for joining us . evening mr. smith, thank you for joining us. evening on wickham's argument and, i'm sure you listened to and with with keen ear is the these politicians are not crossing floor they're leaving the house. is there a difference between the two. there'll be a huge difference . i there'll be a huge difference. i think it would be a massive cause of concern if colleagues were leaving the party in any number at all go to our political . i think there's number at all go to our political. i think there's a there's a reality here. the actually before every general election a proposal from every
9:41 pm
single party choose to stand down for a variety of different reasons i think why this has caught the news the germans are a bit is that it's happening earlier than it normally would and that actually can easily be explained by the quite significant boundary changes that are happening ahead of the next year. the map is being redrawn to equalise the number of electors in every constituency . some people are constituency. some people are finding themselves where their seats is quite literally been abolished and others because the party wants to understand how many they've got to fill vacancies for . two candidates vacancies for. two candidates are asking us a lot earlier than they usually . are you going to they usually. are you going to stand again ? and so that's why stand again? and so that's why we're guessing flurry coming out now as some colleagues because they've served a long time sometimes because they're at other priorities for their lives having served in line office are
9:42 pm
saying two years out from a general election rather than two months from a general election that they're standing down. it's not much of a vote of confidence in the current regime, though, is particularly with younger mps announcing their departure . announcing their departure. example, diana davison of gb news fame well as being a top tory mp . well yeah , there are tory mp. well yeah, there are there are some colleagues who are still in the which i think dynamited must still be in their twenties. the very standing down. but again that that's unusuali down. but again that that's unusual i think back to the 2015 election know my mate chris who was the mp for dudley south stood down after one term i think he was in his thirties at that point because he wanted to focus on his business that career he wanted to focus on on other priorities. you know , other priorities. you know, politicians are human beings , politicians are human beings, too, believe it or not, having served some some one term, some two or three terms, choose to go and voluntarily say, i'm going
9:43 pm
to do something different. now yes. i mean, we hearing many high profile figures that been previous tory supporters, including lord ashcroft , who say including lord ashcroft, who say that they just haven't seen the conservatives this unpopular the polls in recent memory. is it salvageable now or is it a case of damage ? no. we've always got of damage? no. we've always got to believe it's salvageable. the polls uncomfortable reading . polls uncomfortable reading. they have done for a few months now. you know , very alive to now. you know, very alive to that. and i'm not going try and pretend that it's going to be easy to get back to a position where we can win. but if we don't do if don't prove don't do if we don't prove ourselves once more, if we don't win back that on the economy, on stopping the people smugglers in the english channel, ensuring that we actually get back onto that we actually get back onto that path to growth . it'll be that path to growth. it'll be a tough ask, but if we can't do that, then the left are going to win. and as your last discussion
9:44 pm
sort of hinted at a couple of points back 97, tony blair was sort of centrist labour leader . sort of centrist labour leader. i think actually a lot of tory could hold their nose. they didn't really like it that they could they could him . starmer is could they could him. starmer is no blair. starmer still a left wing politics and way way to the left of centre he may not be corbyn, even though he was campaigning corbyn to be prime minister only years ago, but no, he's no centrist , minister only years ago, but no, he's no centrist, he's no moderate labour politician . he's moderate labour politician. he's still fundamentally a socially still fundamentally a socially still fundamentally a socially still fundamentally someone who would bring about a pretty hardcore labour government but would do an enormous amount of damage to the economy of this country and to our future prospects. well, why are labour ahead, though ? why are the ahead, though? why are the tories being outmanoeuvre it on brexit and immigration ? by keir brexit and immigration? by keir starmer i don't know. as being outmanoeuvred on on immigration again are some enormous
9:45 pm
challenges to be mounted there as a government, as a conservative government , we conservative government, we passed the national policy on borders act, which gives us all the domestic powers we need to deal with the small boat crossings, deal with illegal emigre abortion. we are the ones that brought in the points based immigration that treats everyone no where you are around the world fairly and considers whether got something to bring to this or not where we been stuck and where i absolutely accept the challenge that we need urgent legislative action to is the problems up by the air that stop flights to rwanda taking off for example . we have taking off for example. we have got to fix that and given that we managed to shut down the country's freedoms in a day with the coronavirus given we may have managed to pass legislation in a matter of days or weeks, let the uk internal market act. i am still pushing to say we've got to pass some pretty rapid legislation fix the fact that
9:46 pm
courts can still take judgements british legislation and that power back with british courts and british courts alone . and british courts alone. briefly will you be running to hold your seats and represent the people of buckingham in a couple of years time? i will absolutely be putting myself forward to run again . there's forward to run again. there's quite severe boundary changes in my patch as well. my currency is split three ways, but i will absolutely be putting myself forward to fight one of the it's been a delight to have you on the show do return soon my thanks to the conservative mp for buckingham greg smith what's your why are so many high profile tories not running in the next election market? gb news. next up we'll check on the world cup . could a players sec world cup. could a players sec ban win the england the world cup? we'll discuss that with big sam allardyce .
9:47 pm
9:48 pm
9:49 pm
9:50 pm
next i'll get to your or your emails very, very shortly. but let's check in on the world cup now. speak to one of the most respected and successful of his generation , sam allardyce. hi, generation, sam allardyce. hi, sam . the evening . great to have sam. the evening. great to have you back on the show . now, you back on the show. now, gaffer, it was performance to forget from england on friday against the usa. forget from england on friday against the usa . yes yes. forget from england on friday against the usa . yes yes . all against the usa. yes yes. all very disappointed the board. i that no more so the may show to the tv while it was happening . i the tv while it was happening. i mean there was a number of reasons that i would show to the tv because of the lack of fatigue that looked like it was in the team. so i expected to change it around a little . i change it around a little. i sincerely he's going to change the team for the next game because clearly the lads who
9:51 pm
played to games on the trot couldn't cope with the physical attributes of doha and the intensity of , the game and the intensity of, the game and the weather. so for me use, that fabulous squad that he's got its full potential . you were a very full potential. you were a very early adopter as a manager. i think you were one of the first people to really use and the powers of sport , psychology powers of sport, psychology technology, monitoring all the rest of it. do you think there is enough innovation in this engush is enough innovation in this english ? oh yes. got that on the english? oh yes. got that on the fingertips. i mean it depends how you want to use mark, you know, i mean how deep you want to go with it and. do you want to go with it and. do you want to give it all to the players you. want to give some of it to the players? do you ask the players who to teach and some of the players who not quite as interested in leave them alone? i mean, the state most i mean, the mental state most important well as the important as well as the physical yes, see back physical now. so yes, i see back is a massive thing terms of physical , physical
9:52 pm
is a massive thing terms of physical, physical terms and attributes. terms and of course the backroom in terms of what's the backroom in terms of what's the most important thing now and thatis the most important thing now and that is recovery . and recovery that is recovery. and recovery is the biggest thing. that is recovery. and recovery is the biggest thing . the is the biggest thing. the players can be worried or the backroom staff should be concerned about. and up the players energy to get out there and give their best and look like they're giving best. and unfortunately in the american game they flagged physically and looked like they would . and at looked like they would. and at some stage they certainly there's no doubt about that, but they just weren't physically capable of it will. they be reading the papers and at how fleet street are reporting their performances . and will there performances. and will there still be will they still be talking about rainbow flags and badges on the arm and those other i think the rainbow flags and badges on the on that should be a distant past now i think everybody's had their say and we should move forward into the
9:53 pm
games and try and go as far as possibly can. we've had the great uplift on that the around game . we've had a little bit of game. we've had a little bit of a knock back on the on the american game, but the beauty of this is that we are top of the league and it looks like we're going to go through we've got a massive opportunity to beat wales to extremely poor fortunately against iran . we've fortunately against iran. we've got to take advantage of that and really go for it. and i think that that means that gareth does need to change the side and a lot of these talented boys are going to have, to go on the pitch to see they can do. yes, we've many welsh viewers to this programme is the wales situation salvage bulls sam i think any nation when they play each other a shock not but obviously in terms of form and the talent and wales squads and the talent and wales squads and the towns of england squad we are absolute favourites but that doesn't that doesn't mean that
9:54 pm
it's going to be an easy ride and i think that they will be after their disappointment they'll be, they'll be really, really for this game in trying to , trying to beat england. so to, trying to beat england. so we have to be very aware and very alert on what wales will do on night. lots of debates about the 11. so you are far more qualified than most to . would qualified than most to. would you be starting phil for example? sam i'd i'd be shouting foul so didn't grealish even wilson personally i use harry as a sub in this game . i would from a sub in this game. i would from a sub in this game. i would from a starting position. i know accounting, i know everybody him to go on there and try and win the golden boot again. but i think we've run out of legs a little as well as some of the other players did. but i would certainly grealish and folded and wilson . i certainly grealish and folded and wilson. i think i'd also use trent alexander—arnold to maybe
9:55 pm
bnng trent alexander—arnold to maybe bring him in or. trent alexander—arnold to maybe bring him in or . all but what we bring him in or. all but what we said to know i think the centre offs the same to be honest with you kyle. walker maybe, but that's certainly changed a side three or four because i think this talent, this squad so this talent, this squad is so talented i think that need talented and i think that need to get an opportunity to get on the pitch prove what they the pitch and prove what they can and of course they lads the energy they have the energy the other compete other lights have to compete wales and not play the ability , wales and not play the ability, the talent the quality of the talent and the quality of finishing to beat him . speaking finishing to beat him. speaking of energy, did you ever inflict a sex ban on any of your teams? sam we had louie and ricky, who is of course spanish manager , is of course spanish manager, who said that his players can intimate relations but no orgy . intimate relations but no orgy. some people think there is a serious scientific case for no nookie before a big game . what's nookie before a big game. what's your view ? depends how close it your view? depends how close it is to the big game? i think that 10 minutes after that how do they see the do they see their
9:56 pm
loved ones to have intimate relations . i loved ones to have intimate relations. i don't loved ones to have intimate relations . i don't know i loved ones to have intimate relations. i don't know i mean listen it's up to the individual well if they get the opportunity to see the loved ones it might make them play even better. who too right ? you never know. you too right? you never know. you never say never . final too right? you never know. you never say never. final question. another one can england win world cup? we've had two games now. what's your verdict . oh, now. what's your verdict. oh, yes, certainly we can win the world cup. i you know, we i've got the squad, we've got the xpena got the squad, we've got the xperia it's both both the manager in backroom staff as well as the players. and we just need to have the mental resilience to go out and do it and we've certainly got to two tournaments a semi—final and a final so there's no reason this squad can't get to the final. we've seen some bigger shocks than england not playing so well against america and those big shocks are continuing . you know, shocks are continuing. you know, one morocco, one today. so, you know , let's hope we're one of
9:57 pm
know, let's hope we're one of those who come against the side and lose and get knocked out because after this stage it will because after this stage it will be the knockouts . big sam . i be the knockouts. big sam. i personally wish you were in dugout. many millions agree it wasn't to be but enjoy game on tuesday and can't wait to catch up with you next weekend as a true legend of football takes allardyce who has achieved much as a manager in the beautiful game. next up , we'll talk about game. next up, we'll talk about someone that's achieved a lot in sir john redwood live on the sirjohn redwood live on the show. don't go anywhere .

10:12 pm
. let's get the reaction out of my all star panel. academic dr. lisa mackenzie broadcast star tomi sandu and political commentator ta emma wolf. let me with you told me your reaction i think you've got a couple of kids . i've got think you've got a couple of kids. i've got a ten think you've got a couple of kids . i've got a ten year old kids. i've got a ten year old and a five year old. so i see this stuff going on all the time and even when the ten year old, when he was about nine, he had the sex talk at school and i don't know i suppose my take on it is childhood was so great. i was it was so we were playing out in the street or something at least about this as well. it was it's just fun. it was silly. and it was. what child? child free? yeah. and it's free. you would you would just. you play me i wouldn't, wouldn't me out. i wouldn't, i wouldn't let out in the let the kids play out in the street and when i, when it street now. and when i, when it gets we should keep playing gets dark we should keep playing football to the ball. hit you in the face the evenings and the face you in the evenings and then home when your mum then come home when your mum shouted so i think, shouted for you. so i think, what's is kids are becoming what's on is kids are becoming like and becoming like adults and adults becoming like adults and adults becoming like we've got this like kids. so we've got this thing we're to make thing where we're trying to make kids and we're exposing
10:13 pm
kids grow up and we're exposing them all these kind of, you them to all these kind of, you know, these weird things, these of and even of campaigns and these and even like, lyrics, the like, say the lyrics, the rihanna the twerking rihanna songs, the twerking songs, sexualisation of the songs, the sexualisation of the music, might be i'm music, and we might just be i'm i'm people have always i'm old and people have always done generation done this a certain generation look young generation and look to the young generation and oh, it's all getting too outrageous. it with outrageous. they did it with elvis that. but it feels elvis and all that. but it feels like something really like something he has really shifted and changed whereby kids becoming and becoming more grown up and adults becoming adults are becoming less accountable their actions. accountable for their actions. adults don't want adults now say, oh, i don't want to with things. then to deal with things. and then throwing throwing throwing tantrums and throwing the and we the toys, the prime. and we can't from people. we can't can't come from people. we can't have someone for doing have a go at someone for doing a bad job at something, you know. so we've got this kind of mishmash, this blurred line kids and no one's and adults, where no one's actually anything. yeah. actually being anything. yeah. i mean, the ultimate. once mean, i'm the ultimate. so once you up, you can fall you are grown up, you can fall in whoever want. you in love. whoever you want. you can. i identify however you want . and as a courtesy, i will your pronouns or your choice of name sleep with whoever you . this is sleep with whoever you. this is your life . knock yourself out, your life. knock yourself out, but is not the territory for children . i do think that there
10:14 pm
children. i do think that there is something about childhood . is something about childhood. the sort of times that we live in now. although i'm short, too much has changed because was just thinking when you were talking about do you remember the film bugsy? malone yeah, and i remember that caused a lot of outrage . well, so a similar sort outrage. well, so a similar sort of outrage . and then i was of outrage. and then i was thinking about, you know, the tears in america , these tears tiaras in america, these sort of baby pageants for 50 years. so i'm not sure things of change and also remember that growing up as a child , the growing up as a child, the 1970s, when pj was sort of brushed on the carpet, you know? yeah brushed on the carpet, but also out in the open on the bbc as well . but i also out in the open on the bbc as well. but i think also out in the open on the bbc as well . but i think there also out in the open on the bbc as well. but i think there is something because of, i think social media, the way that we conceive children. i think that's probably the difference is i there's always been moral panics about, sexualisation of children . but i panics about, sexualisation of children. but i think panics about, sexualisation of children . but i think now we can children. but i think now we can see more so we can have a stronger opinion about don't you

think it's gone up a with that video of a drag star. and by the way i've got friends i've worked with drag talented hilary often have much legs than i do great singing voices true entertainer professionals. but you know a little girl being paraded at a topless drag event . this crosses topless drag event. this crosses a line. i don't remember anything like that in the seventies . the eighties? yeah. i seventies. the eighties? yeah. i mean, again , i don't know. what mean, again, i don't know. what was that mean there. and, you know, and i'm not somebody don't like to know but we've seen we've drag performances at primary school. i don't mind you know i am not i don't really mind to drag out of my mind to drag story out of my mind to drag story out of my mind know because you know we're in panto season how many of us are going to be taking our kids grandchildren to panto this ? grandchildren to panto this? there's been panto times forever . british, you know, part british culture is always, yeah , the comedy. you're a comedian. yeah mean do you remember the december. yeah there's always been les dawson. there's been
10:16 pm
that segment now. yeah dame a role that she's australian office oh i start thinking about i've told britain well the british tradition yeah not pretty brit british johnny baxter i think yeah so i'm not you know i'm not so, so hung up about the drug story time but i do think that there is a lot of money to be made online. i do think that children can easily be exploited around that. yeah. emma you've got one child, you've got a son has got the hang of twerking. yep he doesn't work. no two, he tries to dance. actually he's quite a good little mover . i look, i think little mover. i look, i think the pontification of our society has been going on for quite a few years. i mean, we've had little girls, you know, little girls you can buy bras for little girls. you can buy shirts. i'm so glad i don't a girl child because all t shirts are pink and they say, hey or whatever. stuff like whatever. silly stuff like that. all up, all of that stuff. that's going on for a while. what i think slightly different
10:17 pm
to i think is to lisa, what i think is more alarming, even alarming alarming, even more alarming than and the than online and media and the stuff they're exposed in this stuff they're exposed to in this stuff they're exposed to in this stuff they're exposed to in this stuff they be, know, stuff that they be, you know, the that are aware of the way that they are aware of themselves, aware of selves that we weren't as kids were never we never took selfie we never saw never took a selfie we never saw ourselves video . i mean, ourselves on video. i mean, maybe little family video . maybe a little family video. what i think is more alarming is this that you brought up more about questioning the gender , about questioning the gender, the inability to say to a little child, that's a boy, that's a girl fact that they've got. i mean, my nieces and nephews who are in their teens , they have are in their teens, they have they have people in their classes who are gender neutral . classes who are gender neutral. that's astonishing to and yet for them, it's totally normal . for them, it's totally normal. and that's okay as an adult, i don't care. like, you know, i don't care. like, you know, i don't care. like, you know, i don't care who you sleep with. i don't care who you sleep with. i don't care who you sleep with. i don't care who you attracted to, what you do in bed as, an adult. but let children be children. and we've seen a tavistock recently the you know the peril and the danger and the harm that can sort of forcing children can to sort of forcing children to question really basic things
10:18 pm
like their gender and driving them into this kind of adult world of, you know, questioning your own identity , questioning your own identity, questioning your own identity, questioning your own identity, questioning your own sexuality at, the age of nine, ten, 11, that's necessary. let them deal with that maelstrom of emotions and all of that in their teens or , all of that in their teens or, in their twenties. you know, goodness knows, we go through, you know , hormonal, difficult you know, hormonal, difficult relationships then. but for children young to be struggling with that kind of thing to have to worry we do about calling someone he she i think that's thatis someone he she i think that's that is child abuse i think that's awful and i think that is what ruins childhood now i'm delighted say that emma lisa and tommy return at exactly 1030 you can set your watch to at 1030 on the button for tomorrow's papers but up in the news agenda , but up in the news agenda, millions of brits are suffering from loneliness . do we tackle from loneliness. do we tackle it? and as queen camilla gets rid of her? lady in waiting? is having a personal servant an anachronism and morally wrong?
10:19 pm
but next up, politics legend. sir redwood live on the show don't go anywhere .
10:20 pm
10:21 pm
10:22 pm
don't forget mark dolan tonight starts at pm every friday and now and by way, can i give a shout out to the wonderful reece gunter who's been working at gb news since the start? i think and an incredibly talented guy and an incredibly talented guy and will certainly go on to bigger and better things. i love you loads reece and really good in the future. do stay in touch and. if you don't, i will stalk you. it's time now for this. that's right . you. it's time now for this. that's right. time for mark meets in which i speak to the biggest names in the world of politics showbiz, sports, business and beyond. tonight, one of the most experienced and high profile politicians in the country. john redwood, who country. sirjohn redwood, who entered the house of commons in 1987, a golden era of british
10:23 pm
politics. and, of course , at the politics. and, of course, at the tail end of margaret thatcher's in power. he served as secretary of state for wales , john major's of state for wales, john major's government and sat in the shadow under both william hague and michael howard. he's even had a couple of runs, a couple of runs becoming party. john has for decades out a reputation as a politician committed to economic liberalism , fiscal discipline, liberalism, fiscal discipline, and he perhaps most notably been and he perhaps most notably been a consistent, long term eurosceptic as , one of the eurosceptic as, one of the founding fathers of brexit. has achieved his goal with . our achieved his goal with. our departure. but what next for britain as we move on from the pandemic , deal with significant pandemic, deal with significant economic ? and what next for sir economic? and what next for sir john himself? sir redwood, the conservative mp for in berkshire, joins now. good evening, sir john . evening, evening, sirjohn. evening, mark. wonderful have you on the program. what made enter politics sir john you could have made a fortune in industry . as
10:24 pm
made a fortune in industry. as a young man in britain the country was ailing economy was under the cosh of too much nationalisation too much government interference very , high taxes and people were very, high taxes and people were saying to me, why didn't you go to america? they were kind enough to say, right, man like you is. they thought there must could indeed flourish in america. and i said, no is my country. i wish to stay and battle away to make it better . battle away to make it better. and so i began tasks as a young man by saying that the state was involved too much, that it was throttling us, it was costing us too much money. it's performing very badly . and i took the idea very badly. and i took the idea of privatisation to margaret thatcher and. she eventually came round it and then she ianed came round it and then she invited me to be her adviser on. itold invited me to be her adviser on. i told in downing street in the early eighties , which i then early eighties, which i then went to do . and so my political went to do. and so my political career began with an unusual success because is quite difficult . i don't think i
10:25 pm
difficult. i don't think i realised how difficult it was because i there i was the prime minister's adviser and she then accepted the idea that we needed very big privatisation programme because we needed to catch up with the united of america, our telecoms industry was about ten years behind them and totally of date because it had been messed by monopoly provision and inadequate public funding of new investors meant. our energy industries were a mess and not providing all that we wanted and not compared stiff and certainly not compared stiff and certainly not green enough . and not green enough. and privatisation started transform that. so it was a very exciting . what was special about thatcher was policy or personality what it was to together. i mean, she was the best boss i've ever worked for. she a good argument. best boss i've ever worked for. she a good argument . she would she a good argument. she would sometimes take a long time to make up her mind because i think she knew once she had made up her mind and went public, she wasn't going to change it. and so she wanted to test out any idea that you took to her quite
10:26 pm
rightly. it could quite a rightly. and it could be quite a long when she was testing long period when she was testing it other people then it out with other people then when she did decide to go for it, was that phenomenal energy , it, was that phenomenal energy, a discipline , a determination, discipline, ability to get the message across in language that persuaded enough people, which was a pleasure work with. sir john , was it in your upbringing john, was it in your upbringing and early life experience that made you, a . conservative not made you, a. conservative not sure what it was . it's just the sure what it was. it's just the way i look at the world. i went out of my education. what were my own things that i wanted teachers who were very left wing and i agree with them. i thought they looked at the world in a strange way and the world i was born into . and i swore i was was born into. and i swore i was was a cold world. and so i read and studied what was happening in the soviet and china and, i thought it was dreadful and i could see we were engaged in a
10:27 pm
great struggle to show that our system better and to avoid our system better and to avoid our system being damaged by them . system being damaged by them. the very beginning of the period when i was very young that was the big standoff between soviet union and america over the missiles going into cuba, which reminded just how dangerous the cold war could be and the more i looked at it, the more i said, know which side i'm on. i'm on the side of. freedom. i'm on the side of free enterprise. i'm on the side of democracy. i'm on the side of democracy. i'm on the side of liberty. it makes people more prosperous. it's better us. can have your better for us. you can have your own you can and set own views. you can try and set free by arguments and votes , free or by arguments and votes, rather than something more rather than by something more brutal so a no brainer brutal. so it was a no brainer to me side i was on. and so then i thought i better enter into this wholeheartedly in a good spirit . and that why i then spirit. and that was why i then started writing and generating spirit. and that was why i then startethat ting and generating spirit. and that was why i then startethat would|d generating spirit. and that was why i then startethat would advance |ting spirit. and that was why i then startethat would advance thei ideas that would advance the causes of free enterprise, democracy and freedom. you stood against your major the party leadership election in 1995. you
10:28 pm
famously won the support of the sun newspaper , which ran the sun newspaper, which ran the brilliant headline , redwood brilliant headline, redwood versus referring to major as are you the prime minister got away . well, i was private so they didn't want wasn't i? i had two guys being leader of the conservative party when we were still in office, but not really in power . and still in office, but not really in power. and then once after we'd lost election, my slogan in that first leadership election was no change, no chance . and was no change, no chance. and unfortunately it was extremely accurate. it turned out we had no chance with no change . we no chance with no change. we went down to biggest ever defeat that we've witnessed as conservatives in the post—war penod conservatives in the post—war period that was very predictable. not enough for my colleagues believe me, when i made that prediction . so they made that prediction. so they carried on defeat . sirjohn made that prediction. so they carried on defeat. sirjohn , carried on defeat. sirjohn, approximately two years ago, i had the privilege to have you as a guest on my old show and this was early in the pandemic and
10:29 pm
people were worried about the economy. and you said to me mark the policy should be go for growth . you have been judged to growth. you have been judged to have been very right that that's not the policy . the current not the policy. the current government, even though it a government, even though it is a concern of government i'm sure you supportive of liz truss you were supportive of liz truss his plans that many budget poorly executed but the right . poorly executed but the right. so very briefly if you what would your plan be for economy for the migrant and what is your appraisal of sunak . well i think appraisal of sunak. well i think rishi sunak's does have to make quite a lot of changes. so we've only got two years and we need to offer something better . only got two years and we need to offer something better. and yes, i think the threats or echo of liz truss is exactly we needed to go for growth , needed needed to go for growth, needed lower taxes . she didn't accept lower taxes. she didn't accept my advice . the overall package my advice. the overall package i didn't have quite such a generous tax package. she did. i didn't think we could necessarily afford the immediate income tax cut . i thought the
10:30 pm
income tax cut. i thought the energy package overall was a bit generous and i did have public expenditure reductions to help balance it and i wanted them to the spending alongside , the the spending alongside, the taxes with decent forecasts of borrowing. i think that would have been more rounded. i they were going to get onto that, but they weren't allowed time by the speed which the political attacks reined in on them. i think it's a great tragedy for our country as. think it's a great tragedy for our country as . well, as for my our country as. well, as for my party, because i think general direction was correct one. so i'm now urging mr. sunak and mr. to recognise that you do need growth from here that the economy is slowing to that the bank of england has lurched from irresponsibly inflationary policy in 2021 to a very tough policy in 2021 to a very tough policy now which will the economy a lot and so i think the government does need to look to do more to offset offset some of that promote growth with selective tax cuts with better controls over public spending
10:31 pm
and with a overall affordable package of investment promotion of more active beauty at home. i've always said that now we're out of the eu. we need to take advantage for the freedoms it bnngs. advantage for the freedoms it brings . it advantage for the freedoms it brings. it wasn't an advantage for the freedoms it brings . it wasn't an abstract , brings. it wasn't an abstract, an ideological issue for me. it that there were things i want to do our country which we couldn't all the time we were in the eu and we're being very slow taking out the advantage that it can bnng out the advantage that it can bring us. we should be growing more of our own food. we should be rebuilding our fishing industry . we should be industry. we should be developing ports without the developing our ports without the ports directive and rather more freeports we should creating our energy markets again because we claim to import dependent because . we were going into a because. we were going into a common energy policy which like all their common policies , meant all their common policies, meant that we imported too . i want to that we imported too. i want to start changing all that and that would help offset some of the very deflate forces that we're seeing from bank of england policy and obviously from the
10:32 pm
energy price rises created by the uk more briefly such on the migrant crisis, how would you tackle it because it's not sustainable is it a thousand people a day at times? no. i mean, take back of our borders was very crucial to winning brexit and it was absolutely central to the that helped us win the election in 2019 and there are two elements to that. i mean first of all they do need, i think, to change the law to and accelerate the processing of applications in order to reduce the numbers in legally and the small boat business they need to change policy towards that. but more generally because they are only a fraction the overall numbers coming in, they need to reduce legal migration for the low paid jobs at the bottom end of the market. we've got hundreds of thousands of people home where we could mentor , help them, assist them mentor, help them, assist them into jobs, and then promote
10:33 pm
better jobs within . we need also betterjobs within. we need also more automation and in our country so that the jobs are more fulfilling and better paid. we need to get on with that task that thought was what levelling up was all about i thought that was what we were trying to do by by leaving the european union and so i'm really impatient and i'm ready to cross that. we're not getting on with it more quickly, just a couple of seconds left. sirjohn. quickly, just a couple of seconds left. sir john. you've had career. you're had a great career. you're a knight the realm. you're knight of the realm. you're admired many good chunk of my admired many a good chunk of my i would say the emails are coming in thick and fast. john for prime minister, please. please please. what is next? ambition. what would you like to do next? well, i just want to help our country make a great success of brexit and be more prosperous. i want to see us through this difficult . i prosperous. i want to see us through this difficult. i think the mistakes by the bank of england now reinforced in part by the treasury need to be reversed because think we are a great country with a great future, but that requires these
10:34 pm
changes in policy towards migration and towards the state of the economy , towards taxation of the economy, towards taxation . we need to free them right , . we need to free them right, support, promote . we don't want support, promote. we don't want a big cold shower to be told that we can't do anything and the taxes have got to go up. so john, a delight to you on the program. thank you so much for giving a chunk of your sunday giving up a chunk of your sunday evening. we'll speak again, sir john redwood, reaction? john redwood, your reaction? mark gb news uk. we've got mark at gb news uk. we've got the papers .

10:41 pm
and now technology. what i didn't think is that the chinese state was stupid . where does state was stupid. where does this zero covid policy come ? this zero covid policy come? because it makes no sense and it literally makes no sense. you tell, me? i don't know where it comes from. yeah. what do you think about this? i've been thinking this for a long time, but it come from? why but where does it come from? why would why a country would it? why would a country thatis would it? why would a country that is sort of prided itself its economic growth and its export all over the world, why is it going for this? where they're locking people in? they're not letting people go to work? they're not letting people go to school? i i actually can't unless this is about sort of further domination of power , further domination of power, because that's how power works, doesn't it? fear of contagion as well. there's a very, you know, masks have been worn by by a lot of chinese people over here in this country for years. yeah. and it's something that used to astonish the rest of us and. they do wear them in the street and, you know, just in general. they wear pollution. but sometimes, example, japan, sometimes, for example, japan, it's courtesy. you've
10:42 pm
it's also a courtesy. if you've got your on on got a cold your on on a difficult one that thing about it's courtesy because puts it's a courtesy because puts someone who believes in someone like me who believes in freedom and people not wearing mask and that also masks who are a bit pointless and also that there are an children and there are an abuse children and all those things it's a all of those things it's a courtesy others. i mean courtesy to others. yeah i mean i so i breathe free clean i so i can't breathe free clean air and i'm the wrong person to ask. i've never had strong views on masks, but santi , on masks, but but tommy santi, the china i mean, it's a tyrannical regime that tortures its own people it has constantly duration camps for weaker muslims but they've they've also this one they've really lost the plot they have but what doesn't help as i'm looking the daily telegraph is beijing facing unprecedented disobedience the fact that they're calling people down struggling for air in every in the social respect in the actual practical sense. we've been saying the effects that these people must have been through through months of serious lockdown and i remember even seeing like videos know going the whatsapp groups going around the whatsapp groups of as well. i'm the of india as well. yeah i'm the police i would sticks and
10:43 pm
police got i would sticks and hitting back in hitting people say get back in your you know like you your houses you know like you shouldn't the shouldn't walk around in the street these were rife street these videos were rife all lockdown . we were all throughout lockdown. we were we you felt this we were you know, you felt this kind whoa was across kind of whoa was going across the what's right the world. what's the right thing do and the fact they're calling disobedience. these calling it disobedience. these people protesting because. people are protesting because. they're trying to live, trying to to they to leave. they're trying to they are courageous mccarthy are so courageous lisa mccarthy because will captured by because they will captured by cctv footage but they've got of course the digital identity which means they can be tracked they can have their bank account close and they can be imprisoned in kangaroo court. so those who are speaking out are truly heroic . they are. and i think heroic. they are. and i think that's we were just saying earlier are depressing. everything at the moment. it is quite and we did say quite depressing. and we did say out the story, i was well, it wasn't as depressing because . wasn't as depressing because. what we're seeing here is that people sort of telling the world that they don't agree with this as well because we didn't know, did we, for two years we've not known what. chinese people are saying so , yeah, and actually saying so, yeah, and actually now can that they're not now we can that they're not going along this this is
10:44 pm
something that's being imposed something that's being imposed so i think that this is i'm saying it's good news but it's important it's important and i'm glad to see the page. you know we watch what's happening in iran and what women are doing for their freedom and i can only pray that regime falls well pray that that regime falls well the same goes to the people of china. think again when we china. i think again when we talk about bravery i saw talk about bravery when i saw iranian football team not singing the national anthem , i singing the national anthem, i just sat there and saw that is so that is brave that is brave because we know what they're going back to. yeah it's very easy harry kane to wear a half million quid rainbow rolex watch isn't disrespect but what isn't yes no disrespect but what the iranian players have done as you say possibly risked punishment on on their return. i kind of pozo was to show you much in how we are putting in all things what do mean by that. i think you know i mean i'm looking at this turmoil is down to 6060 to get the story in the telegraph you know the way that now rather than saying to people this is not right this is not
10:45 pm
right what is happening. what's happening to us is right. happening to us is not right. austerity is right. we austerity also is right. we should be speaking against that. there's all sorts of strategy coming out and the policy of lockdown is not right. no, it wasn't right. and it was it wasn't right. and it was it wasn't right. and it's proved not to right. now and instead not to be right. now and instead of and that's why i think actually showing is for not our lack of courage how. interesting is a fair point and there's more going inside. there's more proof to come. you say we're being proved now that lockdowns weren't can see the weren't healthy. you can see the effects it. you see effects effects of it. you see effects in society. the way in which we're mixing each with our we're mixing each other with our own to mix with other own ability to mix with other people. education people. the on the education system, had said system, on kids. i had said about how kids are affected schools, learning their schools, they're learning their interaction, the fallout or the fallout is real. and the fallout ongoing. yeah too. right emma, how would you and your family feel about turning boil to feel about turning the boil to down degrees to lower bills and as jeremy hunt put it, to defeat russia in the war against ? i russia in the war against? i agree with lisa on this. i think
