10:08 am
taking action like this. it's an incredibly unusual set of events that we've seen in the last 48 hours, in particular, starting as sort of a very specific protest about the way in which people were physically locked into a tower block that caught fire. protesters saying that ten people died who didn't need to have died due to the incredibly harsh restrictions that the chinese communist party has placed on parts of the country in their zero covid policy. but the significant thing is that this has spread. it's not just one sort of pockets of protest. this is now growing in many different cities across the country. it's growing in university campuses as well as large population centres. and that's something that's very specific because there have been little protests about things in the past in china. usually there contains and they don't really make it into the western media at all. indeed, they don't really make it into the chinese
10:09 am
media. people in the country don't know about them. the fact that this protest has spread and grown organically and actually going much more widely than the specific events that started it, people are now calling in some of these protests for xi jinping to resign and that is a really, really difficult thing to say in a country like china. it's a really profound moment there are all sorts of reasons as to why this might be gaining this momentum at the moment. obviously, social media, even in china, where it's heavily policed, making impact. policed, is making an impact. there've thousands of there've been thousands of videos tik tok showing these videos on tik tok showing these protests. and there's also, of course, the theory pictures course, the theory that pictures of cup have been seen of the world cup have been seen overin of the world cup have been seen over in china. and they're obviously saying, well, hang on a minute, you don't have enough people stands . thousands of people in stands. thousands of people in stands. thousands of people masks aren't people without masks aren't locked house. this locked in their house. and this is lit the torch paper is sort of lit the torch paper for these protests to be emerging over there. we've also seen these pictures of these quarantine camps. tom, have you seen these images of these look like sort of metal boxes in the
10:10 am
desert? there's one in guangzhou city which has 9000 isole and parts that the chinese government said anything about those particular quarantine camps and what their purpose might be. the chinese government doesn't , as a rule, comment on doesn't, as a rule, comment on these things. they're incredibly secret live and indeed they don't want to add fuel to the fire on any of these points. but it's interesting to see sort of how they have been sort of struggling to respond to these new protests over the last two days. the chinese government hasn't really put out any clear statement . there have been some statement. there have been some arrests of protesters, but the sort of tiananmen style crackdown has not yet taken place . it is interesting to see place. it is interesting to see why perhaps the government hasn't sort of sent in the tanks already. perhaps their view is that these are simply too numerous mass protests to do that traditional harsh climate down at this stage so that might
10:11 am
have political ramifications. it's a potentially dangerous moment for this government because you're seeing really unprecedented civil disobedience from people. and let's not forget what a what a brave thing it is to do to go out onto the streets in protest . i think you streets in protest. i think you were talking to somebody this morning about this, what you said on breakfast. i was talking to luke, pulford, the human to luke, to pulford, the human rights campaigner. works with rights campaigner. he works with the parliamentary the international parliamentary alliance on china. on my show a little bit earlier, he was talking the particulars of talking about the particulars of how the chinese communist party may well respond to these protests and indeed what the british government should do as well. let's watch that. i think there are a number of things to take into account. obviously, the economic been the economic impact has been exceptionally difficult for many, many people in china's really hurt businesses. really hurt their businesses. it's meant that they can't go about their daily business, their bustling cities, their normal bustling cities, which of which are normally full of commerce, able to commerce, haven't been able to operate but there are operate as usual. but there are many other things besides that fascinating analysis coming through around world cup , through around the world cup, for got a lot of
10:12 am
for example, you've got a lot of people in china are looking people in china who are looking at crowds. many crowds in at those crowds. many crowds in qatar are all there qatar who are all there together, cheek by jowl, enjoying, enjoying the football . well, china's been so worried about this being broadcast throughout the country that they're censoring crowds, they're censoring crowds, they're making sure that nobody can actually see that there are people not wearing masks in the crowds in the world cup . and crowds in the world cup. and that has also added to the anger . so, there are many . so, look, there are many things all combining here. i think it's partly the lack of information that people within china have about other people's covid policies outside of china. that's anger people a lot . it's that's anger people a lot. it's the urumqi fire, which was, i mean, really terrible . the mean, really terrible. the reports are that they couldn't get out the doors get out because the doors themselves had been barricaded by the authorities as a part of the covid. the extremely restrictive covid measures . but restrictive covid measures. but yes, of course, it's the economy and people are going into their fourth year of this stuff. now in they've enough of in china. they've had enough of it. they've had it. absolutely. they've had enough harwood, enough of it. tom harwood, we've seen footage online. we're trying to get the source and the
10:13 am
verification of this, but it appears be a bbc c reporter appears to be a bbc c reporter ed lawrence being arrested by the police. the bbc, i think, have now made a statement. they have now made a statement. they have indeed. got the have indeed. i've got the statement here. this was an arrest place arrest that took place yesterday. and the british consulate got involved. the bbc said that they were extreme , said that they were extreme, really concerned about the treatment of the journalist at lawrence who was arrested and handcuffed while covering protests in shanghai. he was head held for several hours before being released. during his arrest , before being released. during his arrest, he was beaten and kicked by the police . this kicked by the police. this happened while he was working as an accredited journalist . the an accredited journalist. the bbc go on to say that it's very worrying that one of our journalists was attacked in this way carrying out his way whilst carrying out his duties. official duties. we have no official explanation or apology from the chinese authorities beyond a claim by the officials who later released him that they had arrested him for his own good in case he caught covid from the crowd. we do not consider this to be a credible explanation. they're the words of the bbc for
10:14 am
your own good. i want to see when, when, when. authoritarian regimes with draconian zero—covid policies talk about doing something for your own good. should all have our good. we should all have our ears prick up, tom. thank you so much. we will. we will, of course, let you know as as this situation evolves , people are situation evolves, people are making comparisons to tiananmen square. you might remember that those particularly chilling images and apparently it's that the techno nationalism of china , which is holding back some of their measures to broaden and to widen this covid debate out and to allow other people into advice on policy. anyway, tom, thank you. right off the bat, i'm going to introduce to my panel i'm going to introduce to my panel. i'm delighted. i'm going to be joined by rennie to be joined by dr. rennie handicap. going to be joined to be joined by dr. rennie ha 20 :ap. going to be joined to be joined by dr. rennie ha 20 books. going to be joined to be joined by dr. rennie ha 20 books. and ng to be joined to be joined by dr. rennie ha 20 books. and i'mo be joined to be joined by dr. rennie ha 20 books. and i'm professord by 20 books. and i'm professor eric kaufmann. don't forget eric kaufmann. and don't forget to our twitter poll. to vote in our twitter poll. we're after i'm we're asking you after i'm a celeb, will you forgive and forget matt hancock's handling of roughly of of the pandemic roughly 22% of you you will so you say that you will so far forgive and his actions.

10:16 am
lifting some sunny breaks are possible this afternoon and highs of around slc s around scotland. we can expect a few showers through the morning into the afternoon. these mostly clear through the coast though inland and eastern parts should be drier with some sunshine and mostly fine picture across most of northern ireland to here there should be some sunny skies and one or two coastal showers. temperatures rising to around nine celsius and that is how the weather is shaping up for the rest of the day .
10:18 am
10:19 am
hoon to come, celebrity chef and activist general, opinionated, strong woman. i like on this show is tonia buxton . i'm show is tonia buxton. i'm professor of politics at birkbeck college, university of london. eric kaufmann . and great london. eric kaufmann. and great to see you guys. now you've all got stories that have caught your eye morning already. your eye this morning already. what brought for me? what have you brought for me? pfizer ceo raps by regulator for making misleading statements about yeah, this is about children. yeah, this is absolutely huge. pam and i think it isn't getting enough coverage yet, but i think it will. i think there's more to come because the report's going to come but essentially last come out. but essentially last december 2020, december and december 2020, when the mooted for the vaccine was being mooted for children, people like children, lots of people like us were pushing back. pfizer guy albert went on tv and albert bourla went on tv and said , i don't want to quote him said, i don't want to quote him that there is no doubt in my mind that the benefit complete are in favour of vaccinating youngsters . 5 to 11 against youngsters. 5 to 11 against covid kids will have severe symptoms and there were many, many people saying there's no evidence for that. what are you doing? particularly ask for their molly kingsley, who has
10:20 am
fought and championed children. so she actually made a complaint to the regulator, the pharmaceutical watchdog, the prescription medicines code of practice . and they initially practice. and they initially ruled that not only were they misleading , ruled that not only were they misleading, but it ruled that not only were they misleading , but it was ruled that not only were they misleading, but it was bringing the industry into disrepute repute. and although they upheld pfizen repute. and although they upheld pfizer, have deep pockets. don't forget this. this is why it was so brave of us for them. and they appealed and some of the accusations were dismissed . but accusations were dismissed. but the regulator upheld that pfizer had misled the public on this and that they failed to present information in the factual and balanced way . now, polling on balanced way. now, polling on this is parents. balanced way. now, polling on this is parents . we're trying to this is parents. we're trying to give parents the right information , which is what we've information, which is what we've been to do . we've been been trying to do. we've been trying say this is the trying to say that this is the risk trying to say that this is the fisk your trying to say that this is the risk your child dying of risk of your child dying of covid or being seriously ill and actually the risk of actually, this is the risk of the vaccine. pfizer failed to do that they've told off that and they've been told off for this is absolutely for it. so this is absolutely
10:21 am
massive. and now parents need to be told before those kids have any more vaccine. yeah why is this not being talked about more tonia buxton, do think ? tonia buxton, do you think? because these are the kind of these the sort of smoking these are the sort of smoking gun moments that many of us have been as in the been looking for, as in the pursuit transparency . we just pursuit of transparency. we just want facts. all we've want the facts. that's all we've ever is nobody ever wanted. why is nobody except gb news talking except large gb news talking about but that the about it, but also that the language that, you know, we're accepting misleading. accepting that he is misleading. it out and out right lie it was an out and out right lie you lied. i wonder why they lied. oh, why? one time the lab set out because of camille. tell me off. but what is the reason that they push this drug onto our children when they did not needit our children when they did not need it and there is a strong element they could suffer side effects. it makes my blood boil. i can't speak about it without really getting so upset that this is being continued and it's brushed under the carpet by most of the mainstream media. shame on they're disgusting . it on them. they're disgusting. it must corruption. what's the must be corruption. what's the reason i remember it well. you and of course, will know the and i, of course, will know the time were talking
10:22 am
time when they were talking about fact the teenagers about the fact the teenagers would drug go into would need this drug to go into nightclubs. have teenagers nightclubs. we have teenagers and them live and we wanted them to live freely, but we have grave reservations about them taking a drug they patently didn't drug which they patently didn't need. why do you think need. and eric, why do you think this story not getting talked this story is not getting talked about well, i feel like about enough? well, i feel like just. yeah i mean, i do think there was a consensus around this. and i guess my issue is more i mean, i'm not super invested in this issue, but what i would say is whatever it is that we disagree on, there should open climate of should be an open climate of debate use evidence. debate where we use evidence. you it's a debate over you know, if it's a debate over whether prevents whether this prevents transmission we should transmission or not, we should have the data. have the numbers and the data. so i object to is a sort of so what i object to is a sort of cancel culture that won't allow for any side to air its its views based on data. so that that's sort of my big object to this, that might harm this, not that it might harm your child and that they might. oh, no, hopefully be damaged. but i don't but no, i want to say i don't needif but no, i want to say i don't need if that's right, i need if that's right, then i need if that's right, then i need to that and that's need to hear that and that's what saying. but if we can't what i'm saying. but if we can't even sing, but if we can't, even if we have the debate shut down right, then going to
10:23 am
right, then i'm not going to hear and that's what i'm hear that. and that's what i'm saying. is saying. yeah the prerequisite is to have open debate also to have the open debate and also at when pfizer appealed at the time when pfizer appealed this, what they said was, was the albert ball. comments at the albert ball. his comments at the albert ball. his comments at the based on the time were based on scientific weren't. scientific fact. they weren't. that lie . there was never that is a lie. there was never any data children , healthy any data that children, healthy children needed this vaccine even children needed this vaccine ever. yeah, of course . it was ever. yeah, of course. it was all a bit. it was all when i look back now and i try to remember, i mean, i can't believe that we're getting towards somebody just said, you know, it's few days till know, it's only a few days till 20, i was still processing 20, 23. i was still processing what happened in 2020. that's how feel. i'm still getting how i feel. i'm still getting over it. if you remember over it. but if you remember with when the joint committee on vaccines immunisations vaccines and immunisations were talking about whether they were going it for going to greenlight it for children, said, children, they initially said, didn't no didn't they? there is no benefit. going we're benefit. we're going to we're going to give this decision to the medical officers. yeah the chief medical officers. yeah and made the decision. they and they made the decision. they did. leant on. it took did. they were leant on. it took two weeks. jcb only said no. two weeks. the jcb only said no. there an outstanding there was an outstanding benefit for vaccine. for children for this vaccine. and within two weeks, and then within two weeks, with lots massive screaming lots of massive media screaming on the headlines online that children needed suddenly children needed it, suddenly the jcpoa, they said that they had failed account the
10:24 am
failed to take into account the social benefits of kids having these vaccine. when have we ever given someone a medication for social benefits which are spunous social benefits which are spurious yet that will set the mental health of the children because they might be less stressed if they have this drug. and absence from and also the absence from schools, failed to schools, what they failed to account many children to account is how many children to be from school. the side be absent from school. the side effects of vaccines. it was effects of the vaccines. it was just a complete hopefully just a complete mess. hopefully we're more of this, we're going to see more of this, more these explanations more of these explanations and more of these explanations and more being held more of these people being held to account. tanya schooling to account. tanya yes, schooling doctor no doctor nation is turning over no vaccine. tanya to rescue vaccine. tanya army to rescue strike nhs swat. okay so strike hit nhs swat. okay so let's get this into perspective. firstly thank the nurses should be getting more money. they get about be getting more money. they get abou t £35,000 a year and they do about £35,000 a year and they do about £35,000 a year and they do a great job. so they should be getting more money. but this is not the way to do it. the people that are going to save, to that are going in to save, to take over their are army take over their jobs are army cadets things like that. cadets and things like that. only amount of 35,000 cadets and things like that. onlyi amount of 35,000 cadets and things like that. onlyi met. amount of 35,000 cadets and things like that. onlyi met. so amount of 35,000 cadets and things like that. onlyi met. so that'sunt of 35,000 cadets and things like that. onlyi met. so that's that's 35,000 that i met. so that's that's nuts in itself . we can't have nuts in itself. we can't have our nurses strike . we are in our nurses strike. we are in we're in a situation because of
10:25 am
lockdown, not because of us and not because any of this other not because of any of this other rubbish, the green rubbish, because of the green levy because of lockdown. we levy and because of lockdown. we are a situation we are are in a situation that we are a country in crisis and we can't have our nurses striking. now the with the nhs is it the problem with the nhs is it has money . it has enough has enough money. it has enough money to pay those nurses a really good wage. but it's, you know, quarter of a million is going on. how many if they got 2100 managers and all 2100 diversity managers and all these middle men that don't actually work on the ground, 50, 50% of the nhs. how much is happening? the nhs money goes to people that don't actually work in medicine. now we need money and i've decided. you're welcome to join us if you like that. but we won't be at all. we want the job too, to break it out and restructure the nhs in a sensible way. so nurses do get the wages that they deserve, but they're not going to get it through. striking, i don't agree with that what we need, with this is that what we need, renee? think what renee? i don't think that what we is you. so, yes, think we need is you. so, yes, i think we need is you. so, yes, i think we probably. you're there. we probably. but you're there. you're the front line every you're at the front line every day. need restructuring. it
10:26 am
day. you need restructuring. it completely needs it needs dismantling. been dismantling. and we've been rebuilt bottom up, not rebuilt from the bottom up, not the top down. yeah, that's what it eric, what are it needs. yeah. eric, what are your thoughts? well, i it your thoughts? well, i mean, it is remarkable that the nhs is remarkable that that the nhs for years had these for so many years has had these issues we haven't sort of issues and we haven't sort of seen very analysis how seen a very system analysis how to it. you know, the to restructure it. you know, the fact you were mentioning earlier that different systems that there are different systems on floor , a single on each floor, not a single procurement all procurement hub. you know, all of problems you would have of these problems you would have thought there's thought by now, because there's such it's the major such an interest, it's the major costs are in the economy costs that are in the economy that they would have tried to sort in a better way. so sort this in a better way. so yeah, think clearly some kind yeah, i think clearly some kind of inquiry needed. of an inquiry is needed. i wonder it would go down wonder how it would go down there medical staff if there with the medical staff if there with the medical staff if the are brought to in plug the army are brought to in plug the army are brought to in plug the they're on a the gaps whilst they're on a strike. does look strike. what does that look like? yeah, mean it like? eric yeah, i mean it doesn't look good i suppose in the of of the sense of sort of strikebreakers, if you like. so, and i don't, i don't know, it could perhaps could it get ugly? i what have i don't know what problems have been together in been rising together in hospitals. the army hospitals. we have the army working alongside us all the time. for example, time. so, for example, when i did vascular surgery, one of the registrar was an army doctor because placements all
10:27 am
because they do placements all of long term of the time, long term placement. we do have it placement. so we do have it right. unused to that. and they wear oh i wear a uniform, a really. oh i did not that . okay, why did not know that. okay, so why so wonder why this is being so i wonder why this is being kind of made out into the press to be something more than it would be. military personnel called upon the plans to cope with actually think with war. i actually think there's a really big pr thing going number ten at the going for on number ten at the moment make the nhs look like moment to make the nhs look like it die tomorrow. right? it might die tomorrow. right? that's i story yesterday that's what i story yesterday about ways from about a&e. 12 hour ways from that scene . that actually a that scene. that was actually a story september yes. so as story from september. yes. so as soon as i saw that, actually, my wife that out to i wife pointed that out to me, i thought, oh, so there's pr thought, oh, so there's a pr effort on to just effort going on here to just make look like. so we have make it look like. so we have every then have every every year then we have every yean every year then we have every year, days to save the year, seven days to save the nhs. i remember hearing black eye, the it the eye, it was the same. it was the same thing. had a constant. same thing. we had a constant. it's unrelenting , nhs it's unrelenting, the nhs is broken. every bailout. broken. it needs every bailout. we're having same we're having the same conversation. you conversation. nation do you think inevitably heading think we just inevitably heading you just to have a privatised system now? i don't system now? because i don't think want that, but think many people want that, but something done. it something has got to be done. it has be done. it breaks my
10:28 am
has to be done. it breaks my heart the nhs was this heart because the nhs was this holy and unfortunately holy grail and unfortunately it's language it's stayed having the language around a holy grail. don't around it as a holy grail. don't say anything about the nhs, say anything bad about the nhs, they're godlike there and they're all godlike there and that carried on that language carried whilst it was clearly carried on whilst it was clearly broken and there's lot of broken and there's a lot of dodgy going on in nhs, dodgy stuff going on in the nhs, lots of going to lots of money going to pharmacies. does the nhs pay pharmacies. why does the nhs pay more for pharmaceuticals than any country in europe? any other country in europe? yeah, it's like you said when yeah, so it's like you said when i earlier that it's like i said earlier that it's like putting wedding in front of it. if you put nhs front of it, if you put nhs in front of it, you if you put nhs in front of it, you pay if you put nhs in front of it, you pay more if you're waiting in photographers. yeah in front of photographers. yeah it's ten grand more. yeah. that's happened. okay. that's what's happened. okay. right school right eric? school indoctrination is turning. british this is an british youth woke this is an article written by youth . so? so article written by youth. so? so sorry to sort of beat my own drum here, but yeah, this came out in the telegraph. and really what this comes out of is a survey, a set of surveys that i did with policy exchange, which sort of reveal the extent of the indoctrination. that's occurring indoctrination. that's occurring in british schools. and i don't think the public really understand a major charity, understand that a major charity, this isn't just a few schools here and there. this is a
10:29 am
majority of schoolchildren who are being taught critical are being taught these critical race and gender theory concepts like white privilege , systemic like white privilege, systemic racism, patriarchy and so forth. it's sort of three quarters of the 18 to 20 year olds. we asked them to reflect on what they were taught at school and which which of these concepts they'd heard. so not only were three quarters taught things, quarters taught these things, but were taught them but 70% of them were taught them as truth. that is that there aren't respectable counterarguments to this. so, i mean, massive mean, this is absolutely massive now of the beliefs. now in terms of the beliefs. well you can few. one is, well you can take a few. one is, should j.k. rowling be dropped by her publisher? 18 to 23, they're split this. right. they're split on this. right. whereas , it's whereas the over fifties, it's 85. she shouldn't be 85. no, she shouldn't be dropped. only 5. she should or should. should churchill statue be removed from parliament square? same numbers. the young people are split with half, you know, half of them as many of them he should be removed them saying he should be removed as as remain. whereas the over 50 massively in favour like 50 it's massively in favour like 85. that's what we're what 85. so that's what we're what we're getting through the schools system no one's schools system and no one's doing anything about it. well, schools system and no one's
10:30 am
doir see 1ything about it. well, schools system and no one's doir see teenagers)ut it. well, schools system and no one's doir see teenagers justt. well, schools system and no one's doir see teenagers just playing you see teenagers just playing devil's advocate. teenagers have always susceptible to always been susceptible to looking to what their peers are doing. and going along with it. right. so how is this any different , tony, do you think? different, tony, do you think? well, unfortunately, those that disagree indoctrination disagree with the indoctrination that kids are getting at that these kids are getting at school keep i know school just keep quiet. i know that when this kind of gender discussions in schools and things like that, my younger son is open to be influenced by is more open to be influenced by this. and we have to undo all that, deprogram all of that rubbish that goes on at school. my rubbish that goes on at school. my eldest son pops in his ipods in ears and just doesn't in his ears and just doesn't engage because it's he said, as i said, why don't you speak out? why say something? why don't you say something? it's it's just not it's because they it's just not worth and that's the worth it. and that's the difference, when difference, i think. so when i was school , difference, i think. so when i was school, i was in the was at school, i was in the debating society. and i remember vividly i had to argue for the national front's manifesto, which me, it which is, you know, for me, it was really, really hard. did was really, really hard. i did it a passion . i don't it with a passion. i don't think they would don't think they would now. i don't think they'd have that of they'd even have that kind of challenge, i don't think challenge, and i don't think they'd feel able, because i think they're too worried about
10:31 am
what the right thing to say, what is the right thing to say, what is the right thing to say, what they should say is they should give children the opportunity to challenge ideas. and the only way you challenge them is by discussing them . them is by discussing them. where does it come from, though? where does it come from, though? where it. so these have where it. so these ideas have been germinating in academia since the seventies and eighties . can see even if you . and you can see even if you track academic journal article abstracts and then suddenly the media picked up on this in the mid 20 tens. so yeah, this ideology which cultural ideology which i call cultural socialism, that if socialism, which says that if you harm even emotionally someone from a disadvantaged group by offending them , that is group by offending them, that is a graver sin than not telling the truth or suppressing free speech. so what people do is they suppress truth and free speech in order not to offend. thatis speech in order not to offend. that is the ethos that's being pushed on social media and the schools are reflecting that. that's safe and easy. is it fair to say that most of the ills that are in our academia now basically started with tony blair? realising blair? that's what i'm realising that sowed the seeds whilst that he sowed the seeds whilst in office and we are seeing the
10:32 am
trees grow from those particular ideologies , which all seemed the ideologies, which all seemed the idea of political correctness in and of itself when he started was, it's about language was, okay, it's about language reflecting. sure it was okay. i'm not sure reality had changed. and so if, if you've got a chair, if a of a meeting is not a man, maybe you just call them the chair rather than the chair. man it's about language evolving to just reflect our reality. i don't think anything be think was anything to be frightened at stage, but frightened of at that stage, but i certainly morphed i think it certainly morphed into a bit more into something a bit more pernicious now because of the silencing that silencing aspect that comes along don't know. along with it. i don't know. i would say you you to have would say you you have to have some sensitivity, but it's like a dial, right? you can have it at level five. but what's to prevent going? seven, prevent it going? six, seven, eight? is the problem eight? and this is the problem with correctness with political correctness is it did any guardrails. so did not have any guardrails. so i think these problems i actually think these problems stem. before blair they you stem. well before blair they you know us these trends are know in the us these trends are all worse than are here. all worse than they are here. yeah what's worse is blair yeah okay. what's worse is blair is there pruning his is still there now, pruning his trees, the strings. trees, pulling the strings. yeah, from yeah, absolutely. from behind the okay. thanks, the scenes. right. okay. thanks, guys. tanya rennie. tanya and eric, be after the eric, we'll be back after the break. just a moment, we're

10:39 am
the bill to protect children . the bill to protect children. miriam, you made very impassioned speech in the house of commons about the online safety harms bill. why do you feel so strongly about it? well i think we rightly pay a paying increasing attention to , you increasing attention to, you know, the dangers that children perhaps face online and with smart phones. every child has a smartphone now and there'll be some high profile , tragic cases some high profile, tragic cases like the case of molly russell that have started to raise pubuc that have started to raise public awareness of this . but public awareness of this. but actually, we're only scratching the surface and we're talking about serious issues like self—harm and online bullying. actually, underneath all this is this incredible epidemic of onune. this incredible epidemic of online . i'm just to kind of put online. i'm just to kind of put it in perspective, in 2020, sites received more views and twitter , pinterest, instagram , twitter, pinterest, instagram, zoom, put together . and i think zoom, put together. and i think in 2019, pornhub had 42 billion separate views . this is in 2019, pornhub had 42 billion separate views. this is an absolute academic and about half of 11 year olds we think have
10:40 am
seen. and so, you know, once you get older than, that, of course, it's most children. and i think the other thing to say is, as well as it being the kind of that that children are seeing is not what might have seen you not what we might have seen you when were up in when we were growing up in a dodgy or something like dodgy magazine or something like this. abusive this. this is hardcore, abusive violence, really horrendous, disgusting stuff that, you know, most adults would be absolutely outraged to think that children have free and easy access to this. and it is free and easy. it's almost entirely unregulated at the moment. and that's why we need the online safety bill. so what protect agents are there at the moment online? almost none. i so there are there's i mean, so there are there's that's provided by dedicated sites that make money out of and in theory, children shouldn't be able to view those. but we all know that they can. but also, there's a lot of use of to use a generated that's either create it sadly by children or or shared by children, often against their will and their better judgement through, you know, platforms that we all use all the time. whatsapp and
10:41 am
discord and tik tok and it's just available to view and to be seen by children and you know, people who say, oh, well it's a parent's job to protect their children. they're not living the real world. entirely real world. it's entirely unregulated. even if your unregulated. and even if your child has no phone, no computer, no internet access takes nothing for set , sat next to for the child, set, sat next to them in the classroom to just show old image. there show them any old image. there are concerns, aren't are lots of concerns, aren't there, online safety there, that the online safety bill too far come bill will go too far and come people's free items? is that the case? well i think it's about seeing children as children . we seeing children as children. we don't let them buy alcohol. we don't let them buy alcohol. we don't let them buy alcohol. we don't let them buy cigarettes. you we say to adults, you you know, we say to adults, you know, you are to, free do what is legal. up to a point, you know, are limits on all know, there are limits on all freedoms and there be. freedoms and there should be. but these children . and i but these are children. and i think really to think it's really hard to understand depth of understand that the depth of harms being caused here harms that are being caused here because, know, children are because, you know, children are impressionable. of course, they are when they're are particularly when they're going through puberty and they're, ideas they're, you know, what ideas they're, you know, what ideas they about sex and puberty they get about sex and puberty are to stay with them are going to stay with them for the their life. and if the rest of their life. and if the rest of their life. and if the vast majority of the images
10:42 am
they are seeing are of women being violently abused, which i'm is most this, i'm afraid is most of this, there a separate there isn't even a separate category pornhub category on pornhub for strangulation. it's so strangulation. now it's so mainstream. so we are seeing girls being during sex. technically nanny with windpipe damage, you know , this is really damage, you know, this is really extreme behaviour and yet it's being normalised and we're now seeing about a third of child sexual abuse is actually child on child sexual abuse. so the idea that it's happening, no impact on society, that it's a private matter for adults is just completely untrue. and just as we protect children from drugs and alcohol, we have to protect them from. so how does the online safety bill intend to do that? well, several ways. i think it's really good news that it is coming back to the house. i understand that some of the difficult issues around legal but harmful that could have impacted on free speech have been sorted mean, been sorted out. i mean, i haven't it yet, but that's haven't seen it yet, but that's my so think my understanding. so i think that it will pass that will mean it will pass through the house easier. but so maybe so for any site that is a dedicated site, they will have a duty enforce age
10:43 am
duty to enforce proper age verification. i think there are some amendments that should be brought of lords to brought in the house of lords to make that clearer and stronger , make that clearer and stronger, to make that it isn't a to make sure that it isn't a tick box. but there are genuine, foolproof technological ways of doing that . but it also will put doing that. but it also will put a duty on on providers, on platforms to take down material, on platforms that children use. i don't think is strong enough yet. i think we need it needs some work and we also need to equally ease what's legal on and off line. so at the moment, apparently dvds do still exist, but the rules for what's legal on that is very, very strict. there's lots and lots of activity that is illegal. but those those activities are legal in online poll. so we need to we need to equalise online and offline. there are concerns, of course, go down this course, that if we go down this route a digital id system , route of a digital id system, that it does compromise everybody's civil liberties. do you worry that. i am concerned about civil liberties in a more general sense. and i think, you know, the way we saw covid, how easy and quick it was for the
10:44 am
government to regulate almost every way, every area of our lives in a way that wasn't evidence based or it didn't go through democratic scrutiny was very concerning, but think we need to separate that from this issue because the online safety bill has been through an enormous amount of democratic scrutiny and has changed a lot as a result. and i think it's a bit like saying, you know, with the opiate trade, you know, a few hundred ago, we few hundred years ago, we shouldn't regulate shouldn't we shouldn't regulate it matter of it because it's a matter of personal everything personal freedom. everything has limits. and that includes personal freedom. when personal freedom. and when something harming children something is harming children and harming society as much as is . i and harming society as much as is. i mean, you know, not to mention that the high profile rapes and murders that have been committed just in recent years by men who are addicted to hardcore, we can't stand up and say is just freedom say this is just a freedom issue. it it's actually issue. it isn't. it's actually a pubuc issue. it isn't. it's actually a public health issue. think public health issue. and i think alongside online safety alongside the online safety bill, need some proper bill, we do need some proper research building research and we'll be building legislation research legislation on proper research and democratic scrutiny that will sure civil will make sure that civil liberties are appropriately respected also protecting respected while also protecting people that desperately need
10:45 am
people that we desperately need to protect. i can't help feeling that missed the boat here , that we missed the boat here, miriam, didn't at what stage miriam, didn't we? at what stage do you think somebody , the do you think somebody, the government or regulator should have stepped in and said this internet thing is going to cause more harm than good? well, the short answer is money. i mean, look how powerful the tech companies are, how much money they it's not in their interests for this kind of regulation. they could stop this children viewing right now today if they wanted to. but they won't. and that's why, unfortunately , we've that's why, unfortunately, we've got to have go down the legislative route. know, legislative route. you know, it's true government it's also true the government has missed the boat on this. and i it in our 15 i think it was in our 15 conservative that conservative manifesto that we promised do something about promised to do something about this. started bring some this. and started to bring some legislation forward . it didn't legislation forward. it didn't become act. the online safety become an act. the online safety bill has been going on a long time, but think fundamentally time, but i think fundamentally we boat. on we missed the boat. on regulating industry regulating the tech industry when they when we decided that they weren't and therefore weren't publishers and therefore they weren't responsible the they weren't responsible for the content on content that's published on their know, their platforms. but you know, we back and we've got we can't go back and we've got to and know, as
10:46 am
to forward and you know, as problematic this bill has problematic as this bill has been , i do think it's a once in been, i do think it's a once in a generation opportunity to put to children when to protect children when we've got it. you've been got to support it. you've been making public case making a very good public case for online safety bill, for the online safety bill, but do you supported by do you feel supported by government? who else is getting behind very and behind it? yes very much. and i think michelle donlin, who's the new dcms secretary, so she's responsible for pushing this through. she's got to grips with this quickly. she's this very quickly. she's understood the difficulties around of the free speech around some of the free speech elements on so elements and worked on those. so i will have, you know, i think it will have, you know, very, conservative very, very strong conservative support commons on support both in the commons on the which is great. the lords, which is great. i'm pretty sure it's got cross—party support to. but the one further thing the government needs thing that the government needs to do is to do this proper piece of research to the society of research to be the society wide harms so that when we're wide harms of so that when we're writing the secondary legislation, detail, legislation, the detail, we really what we're dealing really know what we're dealing with to manage it. with and how to manage it. you've been looking you've obviously been looking at these sad stories, these really sad stories, particularly if the sexual abuse child on child crimes did the families of those children and
10:47 am
the parents, they know what's going on. does it come as a terrible shock to them? yes, i think it does, because i think anybody kind of 35, under 30 didn't grow up. we didn't grow up with the internet with all this information and these images and these videos at the touch of a button. so it's quite hard for people all hard for people of all generation appreciate the generation to appreciate the impact. and also that is the privacy, isn't it? you know, when we kids, our parents when we were kids, our parents basically what we were basically knew what we were doing. we might be able to sneak off do behind their back or, off and do behind their back or, you know, might to you know, we might be able to break if ran your break down if we ran your friend, in the hallway, you friend, you in the hallway, you know, understand, know, they could understand, hear everything you say, and there's children now, you know, influences are way influences on them are way beyond so, beyond parental control. and so, yes, course, just yes, of course, parents just just understand just really don't understand what's and i think just really don't understand whejust and i think just really don't understand whejust shockingand i think just really don't understand whejust shocking. do i think just really don't understand whejust shocking. do youink just really don't understand whejust shocking. do you think it's just shocking. do you think that phone companies should that the phone companies should actually handset actually sell the handset with the tech already on the security tech already on board? absolutely. and the latest apple devices , the latest latest apple devices, the latest update, they do have this in—built mechanism that can recognise , i think, nude images
10:48 am
recognise, i think, nude images and, you know, in typical apple style, it then gives the choice to a child of whether they want to a child of whether they want to view it or not, which is a bit ridiculous, but it shows that the tech is possible. so why can't all devices in the hardware have an ability to switch on a parental control, which identify potentially which i identify as potentially images? it doesn't images? and basically it doesn't allow appear the allow them to appear on the phone then you're not phone and then you're not reliant whatsapp and other reliant on whatsapp and other encrypted technologies from trying to find these images and remove them. they're just a child a season. in the first child of a season. in the first place. so again, this is a solution that tech companies could implement they could implement now, but they won't. that's we need won't. and so that's we need to legislate. any legislate. is there any incentive here for phone incentive here for the phone companies this? well, companies to do this? well, i just only legislation just think only legislation and the to be fined. the potential to be fined. i mean , i personally would go one mean, i personally would go one step further and make directors individually criminally liable. so let's say there's an accidental on the building site and it turns out that the manager, the site manager was negligent. they could be put in prison if it's criminal negligence, why can't it be the case that if a child views her views a video of a rape, let's
10:49 am
say because a director has been negligent in allowing that on the platform, why shouldn't they be criminalised? but i don't think we're going to get that far in this iteration of it. online safety bill but i think it's something to look at for future. so your opinion, future. so in your opinion, miriam, the online miriam, does the online safety bill enough? i think it's bill go far enough? i think it's a start. think a brilliant start. i think there's of firstly there's amendments of firstly equalising , offline, equalising online, offline, making sure that on on social media platforms is treated the same as on sites, making sure that it's the age verification is implemented quickly. so these are all amendments that could be brought in. the lords and i very much government much would hope have government support. yes , that's the support. so yes, if that's the case, think it's a really case, yes, i think it's a really good start. but we also need this big piece of government led research into what are wider research into what are the wider harms isn't just the harms because it isn't just the children, know, it men children, you know, it is men who unfortunately addicted. who unfortunately are addicted. i'm by the i'm being drawn by the algorithms the of sites algorithms of the of the sites into more and more hardcore extreme material. i'm ending up looking at child sexual abuse material , looking at child sexual abuse material, you looking at child sexual abuse material , you know, normal guys material, you know, normal guys who think they're watching
10:50 am
mainstream ending up as criminals. and that's happening and more. and yes, of course, people have take responsibility for their actions, we also for their actions, but we also need recognise the evil need to recognise the evil in these sites is drawing them these sites that is drawing them towards don't know about towards them. i don't know about you i'm just you, miriam, but i'm just wondering there too many wondering whether there too many men these decisions who men making these decisions who don't actually know how hard it is, parents to monitor what is, as a parents to monitor what your are seeing online your children are seeing online . do you think that's fair? that might be true, although, you know, with some know, i do work with some excellent male colleagues who do understand. think it is understand. but i think it is just for men to talk just harder for men to talk about this and for all sorts of reasons. i mean, you know, there's the obvious thing, which is far more men watch than women. you've got know women. so you've got to know what can away house by what you can take away house by house. but think also it's house. but but i think also it's you know, as a woman understanding the kind of deep misogyny of pretty much all, you know, gives you a bit of fire in your belly that i don't want my daughters to be treated like this. i don't want my sons to think this is normal because this just terrible boys this is just terrible for boys and i think it's
10:51 am
and girls. and i think it's probably at the moment easier for women to talk about it. but i you know, we can get i think, you know, if we can get more public profile this more public profile around this issue, find more issue, i think we'll find more men up. so just me men speaking up. so just help me understand with the age understand it with the age verification software, how many details would you have give? details would you have to give? would give your would you have to give your credit your name, your credit card, your name, your address that's we address maybe that's where we have balance, you know, have to balance, you know, preferences for privacy with the societal harms that are going on here. and i think for too long we've seen as a private matter. and perhaps it once was. but if you look at the kinds of that are now mainstream , you know, are now mainstream, you know, somebody might be sitting at home in their own private room viewing , these images. but it is viewing, these images. but it is having an impact on how they view women, how they treat women, what they think of as is normal is having an impact on the whole of culture and whole of society. that's very negative. so is it actually a private matter or should it be seen as a as a society, as a pubuc seen as a as a society, as a public health issue, in which case we've got to balance these rights? but as i said, i think
10:52 am
there are ways of age verification without revealing identity and that but the tech industry can do that already. it just needs to be enforced . so just needs to be enforced. so that was miriam cates, conservative mp there now in the studio watching this with me is executive director of open rights group jim killick. tim wright this bill has been going on for about four years. it has had numerous iterations . had numerous iterations. obviously, the area of concern for miriam is more the and children and you see other aspects of this bill as being problematic. but first of all, what is your broad take on some of the arguments that miriam was making? there are all incredibly sensible and might protect children . i think the issue here children. i think the issue here is how you do it. it's not a question of should children be protected ? i think she's protected? i think she's a little bit over estimating how much you can do with technology . i mean, you remember the whole business around torrenting and
10:53 am
people downloading movies and films, you know, sort of five or ten years ago and it was claimed that it could all be stopped with technology that, you know, there were ways to do that . and there were ways to do that. and that just was always false. and what actually changed that was was market solutions. it was things like netflix coming along . the problem here is this isn't a problem that can be solved in that way because you can't just say, well, let's remove the bad behaviour giving people easy behaviour by giving people easy supply because the problem here is that some people who are under 18 want to see something and, we want to stop them. and the problem there is if people want see something, no matter want to see something, no matter how they will find ways. how young they will find ways. and so relying on the technology to do that is unlikely to work and if you want to know how effective it is going to be, just think about how difficult it has been to stop people having under age, how hard having sex under age, how hard it is to stop teenage drinking. how hard is that? that's to stop teenagers taking drugs. it isn't
10:54 am
something you can address through the technology you have to do it through talking those young adults and children and helping them understand the risks that they're potentially. is that not sound a bit like a cop out? no it's just to say you can't do it through technology . can't do it through technology. you must use a range of measures. and it's not to say that technology has no role. it's just to say that imagining that it it's just to say that imagining thatitis it's just to say that imagining that it is the answer is just naive and you have to then kind of ask yourself the costs of that. and that's exactly where we're at with this bill, because the bill's talking about age, verifying anything which might have put on, which means that to use google search , right? just use google search, right? just google search because adult material is accessible all through google search. if you want unfiltered results will have to go through age verification. that's the implication of this bill. and the same will go for reddit signal, go for twitter. and i would just suggest that having filtered content on google search or twitter and only being
10:55 am
able to access it without all that material being removed through age, verification is a pretty pretty steep cost for something which is probably heart posing very little risk to children actually. what is that cost then , jim? well, for cost then, jim? well, for a start, you actually have to go through that process, right? you know every adult has to prove their despite the fact they were an adult. and then secondly , the an adult. and then secondly, the technologies that do that can be intrusive . and again, intrusive. and again, i appreciate what miriam was saying about, you know, there are ways to do this, which don't which aren't intrusive. but the bill doesn't speak to any of that. it doesn't explain that any of that would be required or that there would be requirements to make sure that privacy is protected and isn't that isn't a mistake. they just to ignore it. they they've known this was a problem. it was a problem with the digital economy act. and they have refused to do anything to sort this out . so let us to sort this out. so let us understand this . in a real world understand this. in a real world scenario , what if this online
10:56 am
scenario, what if this online harms bill is passed in its current stage? what does that mean to the average internet user ? it means that you get user? it means that you get a kind of child friendly environment where anything that is remotely risky in the view of the minister's can't be accessed until you've proved your age. and would you have to do that? every log in do think? or is it just something like, you know, how do you do you google remember your details? well, they remember the details they just remember the details on device. i imagine on that device. i imagine that you basically you would end up basically having in to everything having to log in to everything and to prove your age and and then to prove your age and then of knows that. so then it kind of knows that. so you it means you have you know, it means you have everything more logged in as well, less sites can be just browsed seen. to browsed or seen. you have to kind of accounts and that kind of have accounts and that means those websites means that those websites are also much also then probably tracking much more by you because you are logged in as a user so the privacy cost is actually pretty high because suddenly all these sites know vastly more about you than they did before . and why is than they did before. and why is that dangerous? well it's always
10:57 am
dangerous companies know dangerous when companies know more and more about because more and more about you, because that information could be used and and you see that in and sold. and you see that in the states the moment. you the states at the moment. you know, you if you go to the know, if you if you go to the states, try to apply for insurance, they allowed to insurance, they are allowed to and your internet and actually check your internet history you're, you history. and if you're, you know, browsing gambling sites or , you know, maybe kind of clearly i'll smoking and that doesn't accord with what's gone into the insurance thing or they just think you know you basically you look under educate id because of the sites that you visit can get you visit you know, you can get you can penalised for can get penalised for your health insurance or car insurance or whatever to insurance or whatever happens to be. course the government be. and of course the government is that way data is moving that way in data protection law, trying to loosen up of controls. so up those sorts of controls. so more that of business more of that kind of business model be introduced here. so model can be introduced here. so do concerns about the do you have concerns about the bill in this current form and what you think can be done what do you think can be done about? well, i mean, bluntly, it needs a rethink. you know, needs a rethink. any you know, we kind of just start we need to kind of just start again and say, right, let's think what proper think about how what proper processes moving illegal processes for moving illegal material sure material are. let's make sure that and to that there appeals and ways to get the courts so that courts
10:58 am
get to the courts so that courts can judge is right, wrong, can judge what is right, wrong, rather the companies . rather than just the companies. you know, do not trust mark you know, i do not trust mark zuckerberg or elon musk with my free speech boundaries . you free speech boundaries. you know, they can be they totally random people. sometimes i want courts to decide that. okay thank you so much. it's great to hear both sides of that debate and both very persuasive. jim killick, that executive director of open group , right? of open rights group, right? thatis of open rights group, right? that is it. is he already 11:00? that is it. is he already 11:00? that first hour went very quickly, didn't it? i'm going to be back with lots more after a short .

11:12 am
climb able to work, have a ceiling to clim b £120,000 to see them climb £120,000 to see them through the rest of their life. this man is getting through the rest of their life. this man is gettin g £400,000 for this man is getting £400,000 for three weeks. prime time tv to help him build his reputation. believe me , eating a kangaroo's believe me, eating a kangaroo's is just easy peasy for my uncle because he seems to have absolutely zero scruples and obviously the same amount of test balls . so we see a obviously the same amount of test balls. so we see a man who was at the forefront of keeping us safe. it didn't work on many levels. it cost us a fortune giving contracts out like confetti to tory friends and we're sitting and we have a nafion we're sitting and we have a nation of people are cheering him on i know well jane a lot of our viewers surprise wrongly even gb news viewers have are the most switched on in awake people out there in the country. a lot of them are saying, look he was the mouthpiece this he was just the mouthpiece this is gary on twitter. he was just a mouthpiece. if it wasn't him, it would been someone else. it would have been someone else. if in power, nothing if labour were in power, nothing would leaders would have changed. our leaders lead they were being lead it leading. they were being told do to say. and
11:13 am
told what to do and to say. and we all followed along like sheep. the world has lost the plot, just the mouthpiece for plot, he just the mouthpiece for the scientist . well, it's the scientist. well, it's irrelevant because all other scientists did have the congress not to go in the jungle. i've said before, is nothing to do with him, particularly i wouldn't even attacked him wouldn't have even attacked him as have, i've tried my as i have, and i've tried my best on every single public platform facebook to platform there is on facebook to draw people's attention to . the draw people's attention to. the fact people so sad goodbye fact that people so sad goodbye to the next door neighbours and different again , different never saw them again, unable to visit them and. this man has the audacity and the stupidity of the non tory conservative party to allow him to do it. this should have real this neck in because this man , this neck in because this man, you're forgetting how valuable he is. not as a health minister , forget that. matt hancock is valuable because he was the former digital minister and he worked hand in glove with the wef and as our government gives away our rise to non—government organisation ngos is a convenient cult like the who,
11:14 am
like the un . how important is he like the un. how important is he going to be when spent so much class work in time and a bias? the fourth industrial revolution 7 the fourth industrial revolution ? absolutely. he was the guy that was was talking about it in 2017. slater as always, very switched on, knows exactly going on and brings that good old dose of northern common sense. my correspondent common sense correspondent common sense correspondent june slater there. and you can follow jane on facebook. she's particularly busy now . new topic at british busy now. new topic at british museum is closing one of his exhibitions after 15 years over fears that it is perpetuating racist , sexist and ableist . fears that it is perpetuating racist, sexist and ableist . this racist, sexist and ableist. this is a welcome collection run by the charity a wellcome trust . it the charity a wellcome trust. it sparked outrage with many accusing it of cultural vandalism. but is this right? is this not part of a history? well, i'm delighted to say that i'm joined by a new guest here on jp news, sir geoffrey palmer , professor emeritus of the in the school of life sciences at heriot—watt university. thank
11:15 am
you so much for coming on this morning, geoff. now at first glance, stories like this seem to be a ridiculous case of sort of political correctness gone mad and that we are eroding our history at a cost to people might be there today. how do you see ? it's a little more nuanced see? it's a little more nuanced than that . oh, well , see? it's a little more nuanced than that . oh, well, i think, as than that. oh, well, i think, as you say, you know, political correctness gone. i think it's ignorance go mad . i think the ignorance go mad. i think the point is that we're talking about the history of how people behave towards each other and whether it's racism or gender . whether it's racism or gender. these two aspect of the way behave in the past and today they're critical. what i've often said you know, is that you cannot change the past, but we cannot change the past, but we can change consequences of the past such as racism and gender
11:16 am
prejudice. and we've got to do it through education. the point is, if you a museum a museum is about education the point that the article is there or the items are just exactly the same as they were a hundred years ago, the is that the interpretation issues which were put on them are quite different from how we know the policy was and when i read the article , you and when i read the article, you know, one of the things which it says is the museum is being closed because of the story we're told in exclu . did the we're told in exclu. did the know the black stories or the stories about women ? that's stories about women? that's exactly why it should be kept , exactly why it should be kept, because those stories should be told. because if you don't tell them , people will say , and i've
11:17 am
them, people will say, and i've heard this in many, many lectures i've given or in many situations i've been with , they situations i've been with, they say you're talking to men . they say you're talking to men. they sit and they're not listening because you've not provided evidence to convince them that what you're saying is relevant and therefore this history is about the relevance of the context of the so geoffrey , what context of the so geoffrey, what do you think is the logic behind who is making these what forces are at play paradigm shift may be is the phrase is at work to mean that we are now scared out of allowing people access to see our history in the context at which it was created . well, i which it was created. well, i think, you know, it's very sad, but maybe it's because it's horrific . it's way in fact, horrific. it's way in fact, people for example, designate people for example, designate people as different races . and people as different races. and one of the great minds of our

very good morning. you're watching instincts. best wednesday on gb news is my panel all back here with us. i am delighted to be joined by dr. roni hunter, camp celebrity chef , activist, tonia buxton and professor of politics at birkbeck college. university london. eric kaufmann, right three more stories, guys. these are ones that have been sort of hot off the press this we're starting with you, rishi sunak losing control says the headlines. i don't get a sense that he's losing control, feel like his feet are very much under the table and. he's going nowhere. what's this about? well, it's is sort of well, what it's about is sort of terrible right? so, you terrible numbers, right? so, you know since sunak's come in, got know, since sunak's come in, got control, the economy sort of
11:25 am
those polling numbers haven't budged and unless they do, a lot of tory mp are going to be out of tory mp are going to be out of a job next election and something has to change. right. so particular what i the so and in particular what i the key thing i think here is the channel crossings of these issues where backbench issues where there are backbench revolts. reform . there's revolts. i mean reform. there's a of talk now nigel a lot of talk now with nigel farage are going to farage that there are going to be to reform. some be defections to reform. some mps are making noises. the biggest issue, i mean , the biggest issue, i mean, the tories are not going to win lib dem labour voters 2019, their only they've only got a chance if they can woo back their red wall brexit voters who have defected en masse . and the key defected en masse. and the key issue for brexit was migration and the fact that the latest net migration numbers were 500,000. the fact that there has been a several years increase in cross—channel you know, these illegal boat crossings has meant that they're under a lot of pressure and a lot of their base just don't see a reason to vote tory anymore. who would vote tory? now it's on you. i have no idea. i mean, really, i really
11:26 am
do. stunned because there is do. i'm stunned because there is no such thing as a tory party and you know, we've discussed this political. this before. i'm not political. i for what i feel is the i just go for what i feel is the right thing to do. so i'm completely politically homeless because. wrong. because. all of them are wrong. the thing about, rishi, is that the kind of tory, the kind of members vote for him. members did not vote for him. they voted for and then it they voted for liz. and then it feels like there were of feels like there were kind of things going on behind the scenes her out and get scenes to get her out and get machine certain people want machine who certain people want it is it the bankers it in and the is it the bankers and is bankers it's not and if is the bankers it's not what the people want we want that we don't we don't want what. he's in what. he's bringing in and i still must hold that a man this rich can have no understanding of what it's like living in britain the moment, but britain at the moment, but they're rich, aren't they're all that rich, aren't they? let's face. they? i mean, let's face. but i think a point comes when you've got that how got enough money that that how much got almost becomes irrelevant. none these mps irrelevant. none of these mps know you the average man know you know the average man worried about paying his mortgage and his bills and that is a problem . it's a big is a problem. it's a big problem, but it's about benches really, it, who are really, isn't it, who are apparently starting to put pressure particularly pressure on him, particularly
11:27 am
green issues and immigration. there's too many crunch that he's not going to win because he's not going to win because he's never going to please everyone. and it's almost comes to what said eric, in to what i said to you, eric, in the break, that it's because half of the tory party wanted to be dems, but they thought be lib dems, but they thought they in if they they might get voted in if they saw this at all. right. i think that's absolutely it's a very important that the tory important point that the tory the recruit employees the way they recruit employees as come through elite as tended to come through elite universities, to be universities, they tend to be very socially and very liberal socially and economically. we've got mp surveys that show very clearly that they are nowhere near where their base is on the cultural issues, on things like migration. and that's one of the reasons haven't got reasons they haven't got the serious this really wouldn't serious and this really wouldn't split wouldn't split the voters very they went much more very much if they went much more determined this determined only after this question boats and question of small boats and migration. but all of these things were loosened under johnson under truss. truss wanted to increase numbers. they've gone in the diametric opposite direction from their voters that they need to win back. so i think this just shows the way the people who are
11:28 am
recruited to be nmps are completely unsuited . the kind of completely unsuited. the kind of voters, the tories. yeah but we could now, of us sitting could say now, all of us sitting here, the points that would make someone a successful leader could of the green levy. could get rid of the green levy. no interested that. no no one's interested in that. no one that. we one is interested in that. we just want to pay our and pay our bills. get stop illegal immigration. stop it you immigration. just stop it you know help let know people that need help let them in and you know and them come in and you know and it's full of men. that means it's not full of men. that means this boats men and they this boats full of men and they all you know, they're persecuted rubbish. falling rubbish. and no one's falling for you know, two for that. you know, these two things these just just these factors be nice to factors and it would be nice to fix the nhs. these are the things that will get any good leader voted in it's mean i'm leader voted in it's i mean i'm not politician it's common not a politician it's common sense. mini—budget sense. liz truss is mini—budget which for her didn't it. which was did for her didn't it. and renee it was the only kind of conservative, it was a nice plan that we've seen in a long. i listened that on the i listened to that budget on the day i said, so colin at home day and i said, so colin at home i wow that is a tory i said, wow that is a tory budget. like this. it's going budget. i like this. it's going encourage people work. now we encourage people to work. now we have the opposite. i spoke to a dentist the other day who's just going when they going to stop working when they reach certain level because

11:49 am
give people a chance you need to make sure that they've got enough money to fund the heating. and yes, i agree with you. it's great to be able to insulate your house, but it is really, really expensive and it's expensive everyone, not it's expensive for everyone, not just minuscule little just this one minuscule little band bottom. they've just band at the bottom. they've just got about. got something to talk about. it's this another it's rubbish. is this another example eric of where just example of eric of where we just haven't forward in terms haven't forward planned in terms of this difficult conflict haven't forward planned in terms of “us; difficult conflict haven't forward planned in terms of 'us having lt conflict haven't forward planned in terms of 'us having to :onflict haven't forward planned in terms of 'us having to havect haven't forward planned in terms of 'us having to have houses between us having to have houses which are warm ? it seems like a which are warm? it seems like a very basic competence in britain in 2022, doesn't it? but having a house that is warm, not wrecking the economy by pursuing a net zero agenda without a cost benefit . analysis of what that benefit. analysis of what that would would say, and now would mean, i would say, and now we've got of these leaky we've got all of these leaky houses all of heat is houses where all of our heat is escaping them. why are escaping out of them. why are they this now? why have we they doing this now? why have we not done this before? well, you're absolutely right. we you're absolutely right. why we done i mean, done this before? i mean, i think a very important thing think is a very important thing to insulation in uk to get better insulation in uk homes the article uk homes as the article says, uk has of the worst insulated has some of the worst insulated homes . it's a no brainer has some of the worst insulated homes. it's a no brainer in a way, but it should have been happening lot earlier, right. happening a lot earlier, right. so agree with that. mean,
11:50 am
so i agree with that. i mean, the things tricky the net zero things tricky because are these because there are these international that international agreements that governments up and i governments sign up to. and i think moving towards a society thatis think moving towards a society that is using less energy is noble goal. but again, why little and so late? right i think actually, as renee was saying , you could graduate saying, you could graduate perhaps this help so that it doesn't just suddenly stop at band d. what also worries me about these sorts of stories, when the government say that they're going to pay firms to do stuff on our houses or to do anything private capacity, anything in a private capacity, it's that will be it's the profit that will be made private now made by the private firms. now go and insulate houses. go around and insulate houses. am to be worried about am i right to be worried about that, think you're that, renee? i think you're right be worried about that. right to be worried about that. and i think you just hit the nail on the head about the net zero none of i don't zero thing. none of us i don't care had a page about care that they had a page about it in their manifesto. they didn't have any about how much it cost us it would cost us all individually, whether would individually, whether we would be like we want to be able to live like we want to live, we want fly. we need live, we want to fly. we need a referendum. this we spell referendum. this where we spell it, are the benefits. but it, these are the benefits. but this your individual do this is your individual cost. do you still want it or do you
11:51 am
still want by 2030, 2050, whatever it is? i think also when comes the housing when it comes to the housing situation, feels like such situation, this feels like such just missing around the just sort of missing around the edges actually building edges because actually building all homes, every single new all new homes, every single new should be to the insulation standards . and they're currently standards. and they're currently not standing is that this is because a lot of the investors the tory parties were on the big house housebuilding companies who would just like to do brick an fashioned brick and an old fashioned brick and therefore they're not any therefore they're not under any pressure. this. but pressure. we to start this. but every house that goes up every single house that goes up don't we eric? yeah, i think you're you're absolutely right. don't we eric? yeah, i think you' if you're absolutely right. don't we eric? yeah, i think you' i thinke absolutely right. don't we eric? yeah, i think you' i think that ;olutely right. don't we eric? yeah, i think you' i think that theyzly right. don't we eric? yeah, i think you' i think that they could 1t. don't we eric? yeah, i think you' i think that they could also and i think that they could also put and heating put new technology and heating as , that would help as well, that that would help too. so i mean, the other part of this is, of course, geopolitical not to be reliant on example. so part this on russia example. so part this is self—sufficiency in is about self—sufficiency in energy. so i think you're right . i think they are a bit behind the curve and they have been doing and you still can't get planning permission for solar panels easily on houses and regardless of whether you believe should be believe that we should be cutting on our fossil fuels cutting back on our fossil fuels , don't to be paying any , i don't want to be paying any of gas companies electricity
11:52 am
of the gas companies electricity bills have today. so bills more than i have today. so if i can generate some of my own power within my own house, i'll happily right. so happily do that right. so anyway, move on anyway, we're going to move on news broken pictures of news have broken new pictures of just matt hancock going just story of matt hancock going to the after for party i'm a celebrity . we're going to bring celebrity. we're going to bring them in just a moment. i'm going to come to you when i handicap first, you know how. and first, because you know how. and he made it to the final and he's had a great pr renovation like a phoenix from the flames of covid. he has now risen to the applause of the nation and welcome. we've gone mad. i welcome. we've all gone mad. i mean, watched because mean, i've watched this because i anyway , but i i wouldn't anyway, but i certainly watch for certainly wouldn't watch it for matt hancock, i am apoplectic with rage inside. i may look calm about this, but i am not this. is a man who was responsible . the deaths old responsible. the deaths of old people care homes when he sent them without any testing and then when he helped institute then when he helped institute the frailty score as a measure for whether someone got help if they got covid. i'm sorry. he needs to be standing in front of a commission answering for those
11:53 am
things, not parading around with his girlfriend in australia, in the jungle , making sure that the jungle, making sure that everybody likes , him and he can everybody likes, him and he can get after dinner, speaking for 40 grand a when he's what 40 grand a time when he's what will next? i don't care will he do next? i don't care what the main thing is. i'm so disappointed in the british public. i'm so disappointed in the british public. that kept him in the hole. it was game in their game to eat. i know sheep's testicles and all of that stuff. make him and then get him out first. send the sign, the fact that he made it to the final disappoints me so much with b c. i have a theory on that because people like us who do think that there are questions that he needs to answer, we didn't want to engage. saw that even engage. we saw that even necessarily the necessarily by watching the programme, be condoning programme, we might be condoning presence didn't to presence and we didn't want to get voting app . and so get on the voting app. and so i think those haven't been think those all haven't been involved . our side this involved. our side of this debate, i've stayed away debate, i've just stayed away from and maybe we should have from it and maybe we should have girded uploaded girded our loins and uploaded the app and voted for scott, who eventually won it. thank goodness you think that might be
11:54 am
what's happened, derek well, yeah.i what's happened, derek well, yeah. i mean, this is not a show that i'd watch and maybe that i'd ever watch and maybe that's problem. i mean, that's the problem. but i mean, i maybe partly there's i do think maybe partly there's this redemption that this redemption story that people although, know people like, although, you know what's to me is somebody what's amazing to me is somebody who'd go who'd be willing to sort of go on after he's been it just on tv after he's been so it just kind of shows you the kind of person that's coming into politics. they've got you have to have such a thick skin. i know someone that knows him. and when was going on, was when this was going on, i was saying it's so sinister saying it's all so sinister look, what they're doing is so terrible. can't what terrible. can't they see what they're to the public and they're doing to the public and they're doing to the public and they many kids are killing they see many kids are killing how many they're killing. how many people they're killing. and president knows said and the president knows and said to oh, he's just so dim. you to me, oh, he's just so dim. you have dim this man is have no idea how dim this man is and what me out. is this and what freaks me out. is this and what freaks me out. is this and man running our and this man was running our country. this stupid man is clearly not self—aware at all. i mean, look at he's gone. mean, look at him. he's gone. the. i mean, just. got the. i mean, just. i i've got the words it. i'm so by the words for it. i'm so by what's going on. i don't know what's going on. i don't know what to say. well, let me tell you gb news viewers have you what gb news viewers have said. nearly of you voted you what gb news viewers have sa ouriearly of you voted you what gb news viewers have sa our twitter of you voted you what gb news viewers have sa our twitter this of you voted you what gb news viewers have sa our twitter this morning oted you what gb news viewers have sa our twitter this morning and in our twitter this morning and 79% of you are saying that you
