3:05 pm
the government has facilitate the conversations between unions and the rail companies and it is disappointing that the rmt union have rejected a new and improved offer that was being worked on over weekend by the rail companies. i believe they've rejected it not put that to their members but this is disappointing because we would expect those talks to and for those offers be put to members . those offers be put to members. the labour party says it will look at abolishing the house of lords if it wins the next general election. they've described the current system as indefensible. sir keir starmer set out his blueprint a new britain promising biggest ever transfer of power from westminster to nations and regions if his party is elected . launching a report which was led by the former prime minister gordon brown. he promised to overhaul the way the country's governed. this broken model has held back our politics and held back our economy . and i'm back our economy. and i'm determined we unbind ourselves and free our potential . britain

this institution . this feeding this institution. this feeding frenzy . i this institution. this feeding frenzy. i realised this institution. this feeding frenzy . i realised they're never frenzy. i realised they're never going to protect you . i was going to protect you. i was terrified . i didn't want a terrified. i didn't want a history to repeat . you up to history to repeat. you up to date on gb news. i'll bring you more that develops. now back, patrick. the sheer scale of the migrant crisis is now home to roost on the day that the home secretary says that she'll do it takes to tackle the channel migrant . it's tackle the channel migrant. it's been revealed that one local councillor was given just 59 hours notice to house 80 migrants in its third asylum seeker hotel. the times has reported that we essentially now have an open border policy with afghanis stuck in syria and eritrea . get your hands around eritrea. get your hands around this people. we are allowing 98%
3:09 pm
of applicants in those countries tuesday. that's on top of 87% from sudan and 82% from iran. they apparently up 33,000 of the predicted 50,000 that we will have coming across the channel. so those numbers are vast and it's because of aid to tier system where the backlog is so big that we're rushing these people through. these figures have just. why? well, it is because that massive backlog we are rushing them through and i think we can all agree massive over public health safety today is a big for the migrant crisis because a new from the think tank centre for social policy said that the recommended anyway released were these introducing id cards . released were these introducing id cards. this released were these introducing id cards . this is mainly for id cards. this is mainly for people coming over the channel of course, stopping those who enter the country illegally from settling . striking new settling in the uk. striking new deals for countries other than rwanda to detain migrants off shore . it also calls for changes shore. it also calls for changes to human laws and for britain to withdraw from the c h o to human laws and for britain to withdraw from the c h 0 well. the home secretary wrote in the
3:10 pm
foreword of this report although that she says she doesn't basically believe every single recommendation specifically id cards. the tories are not fans of id. cards. the report and former adviser to may nick timothy, remember him ? he spoke timothy, remember him? he spoke to emily carver on gb news about the importance of his tank proposals. try this out . the big proposals. try this out. the big thing for him, secretary to writer foreword in. such positive terms for a report that contains policies in this way. so i think what we what we can know is that is that she and the government are positive about the sense of direction that the that the report sets out modern slavery act is good legislation is important legislation that's designed to protect people from being trafficked and from being forced into labour against their will. but unfortunate , it is will. but unfortunate, it is increasingly, increasingly used by people who are illegal immigrants or people . asylum immigrants or people. asylum claims are not going as they had
3:11 pm
hoped. and so we have some proposals to tighten up modern slavery act by evidential thresholds , trying to prevent thresholds, trying to prevent people from making claims in a kind of tactical way later on and if necessary whether it is evidence of serious widespread abuse exclu losing nationalities from . the provisions of the act from. the provisions of the act until order is regained. so it is a massive day for the ongoing crisis that reports has just essentially from centre of social policy outlining exactly what nick timothy was saying there but stuff that already knew really wasn't sentences maybe wanted to introduce it because get out the process because get out of the process people offshore these aren't new are they anyway? meanwhile, the head housing at lancaster council has written to the home office to express his anger that the local authorities say they were given 50 hours notice to house 80 migrants in a local hotel . in fact, i've just done hotel. in fact, i've just done some digging on this. they
3:12 pm
already have two hotels, margaret, of hotels in that with a combined total of 221 asylum seekers in this sea. and the two that of course people up in arms saying there's been no consultation but a rather telling, quote . and i wonder telling, quote. and i wonder whether or not other council pages are still going to have the this. well. the butler to reveal this. well. they concerned about the they are concerned about the fact and i'm quoting now , fact that and i'm quoting now, conflict inevitable conflict. conflict is inevitable conflict. they say is inevitable between members, the local community and some people in these hotels. your views on all of this gbviews@gbnews.uk the conservative mp for around the area is david morris, tory mp for morecambe and i'm very pleased to say he joins me now. david, thank you very much. it's good to you again. i'm not seeing you for a little while. i of course used to work up in your neck of the woods at the ever gazette newspaper. ever popular gazette newspaper. there i thought, get that there we go. i thought, get that in. but i'm looking at. oh, look, to serious, look, it's time to get serious, david. you and i, because david. we you and i, because this very and in and this is a very issue. and in and your three margaret hotels your area three margaret hotels 15 hours notice to house 80 of them what's going on. well in my
3:13 pm
area actually patrick in morecambe it's just one area sorry one hotel. we've got two hotels now. i was given 2 hours notice, 7 am. was saturday morning saying that 80 or so migrants were going to be going into a hotel literally in the centre of morecambe , the west centre of morecambe, the west end of morecambe on the payroll. iended end of morecambe on the payroll. i ended up texting the minister and to be to be truthful and fair , we were sorting out from fair, we were sorting out from that moment on sunday afternoon, i had a high level meeting with the officials at the home office and we got that sorted out that it's a temporary safe for only a matter of weeks . now, of course, matter of weeks. now, of course, you know, i wasn't born yesterday . and i'm watching this yesterday. and i'm watching this with with bated breath but i am monitoring this and i am looking for further meetings with the ministers . and in policy, i've ministers. and in policy, i've only just got into work because of the trains. otherwise it would have been there for these
3:14 pm
things before . well, no, things before. well, no, exactly. it's important for me to that distinction. the lancaster board is more calm. at least they've got a couple of hotels that the morecambe area as now on top of it, so as well. now on top of it, so it's region really. but it's that region really. but i was red reading with interest actually a statement by member actually a statement by a member of lancaster council which of the lancaster council which i is of your brief is slightly out of your brief but concerns the but raising concerns about the possibility for as they said it conflict between some people who are staying at these hotels and members of the public . i know members of the public. i know that area well and i know it's welcomed but actually is conflict's inevitable if these numbers continue , you're not to numbers continue, you're not to what you're saying we are welcome in society. you're from area you know exactly what it's like in malcolm you know my area with friends you know all this we are very welcoming the morecambe area, but it's like anything if you've got such a dramatic disrupt in a very quick dramatic disrupt in a very quick dramatic disruption on this scale, you know it's to have adverse effects in the community. people who live that as well as the people who are
3:15 pm
hosting. so my concern was the fact that they would just literally dropped on our doorstep . and from what i gather doorstep. and from what i gather . oh, oh, sorry well, i think we've lost david. but it's all right because i wanted to actually fill you in any way on actually fill you in any way on a startling development today. so basically the gist of what happened that there happened there was of that there was migrant hotel this was another migrant hotel this time popping up in the morecambe and area that local time popping up in the morecambe and he area that local time popping up in the morecambe and he said area that local time popping up in the morecambe and he said he area that local time popping up in the morecambe and he said he onlya that local time popping up in the morecambe and he said he only givenlocal time popping up in the morecambe and he said he only given acal time popping up in the morecambe and he said he only given a few mp, he said he only given a few hours notice. the local council was hours notice was given just 15 hours notice to 80 of these people and to house 80 of these people and really interesting i'll really interesting quote i'll just read to you from somebody who head of at who is head of housing at lancaster council. before lancaster county council. before i david, community i go back to david, community cohesion has become a significant the districts as significant in the districts as a result of the a direct result of the utilisation of contingency utilisation of two contingency hotels . if this third hotel goes hotels. if this third hotel goes ahead, conflict at one of the sites and within the wider community inevitable. now community is inevitable. now that it's taken a very that i think it's taken a very long time someone who's in a long time for someone who's in a council actually come out and say, and this doesn't mean that there's involved, that there's racism involved, that it may you'd like to may well do, but you'd like to
3:16 pm
think would. it just think it would. it is just a question simply of logistics. if people saying the fact that people are saying the fact that these being used, these these hotels being used, these are let's be are tourist areas, let's be honest, people honest, a lot of these people come from cultures come from different cultures potentially different potentially with different values. massively values. and it's not massively to suggest that at some point there may well confer links there may well be confer links there, especially when it's emerged. i'll bring david back in now. i think got him in now. i think we've got him avoid morris because avoid david morris because there's big moment is that there's a big moment is that david's. i just david's. thank you very. i just wanted your take on wanted to get your take on something really which has dropped the times which dropped today in the times which is appears though we is it appears though we have a bit of a two tier asylum system now. got massive now. we've got a massive backlog. know we've got backlog. we all know we've got a massive backlog the fall of massive backlog and. the fall of that not singular. this but that is not singular. this but what apparently been taking place they've been place is that they've been waving through people from afghanistan, syria eritrea , afghanistan, syria and eritrea, just one round of security checks as opposed to previously they'd get others. do you think that the british public have a right to be concerned about its pubuc right to be concerned about its public safety at the moment when it comes to the asylum crisis . i it comes to the asylum crisis. i think people are very concerned about this man of a truth . i'm
3:17 pm
about this man of a truth. i'm not even seeing that report. but itake not even seeing that report. but i take word for it if that i take your word for it if that is stands for what? the is it stands for what? the problem that we have is we've got a lot of illegal immigration and organised crime emphasising that and of course is how we actually deal with it. we've also got the post—brexit era where even though we're eu with not let europe in effect but we are having to this relation shall we, with our neighbours, our european neighbours . so we our european neighbours. so we really do have to change our laws in the uk and sure that they work for us, but then it's a big problem of trying to those laws recognised on the other side of the channel because no we're not in the eu anymore, it's going be a very hard task to that and. think that if to do that and. i think that if you look what immigration you look at what the immigration minister wants to do and the secretary of the home secretary, the want to amend certain laws that we've got and i think that's the best way ahead. the thing that we have to start to do is start to deport people who are coming across here illegally as quick as possible and, not
3:18 pm
have all the legal backlog, shall we say, that slows it . you shall we say, that slows it. you know, we have got a serious problem here in the uk. sadly, it's been exacerbated by people who want to come here , want who want to come here, want a better life and you can't blame that. but what you've got at the end of the day is, people coming from other countries, three, five, six different countries get here and the claimant asylum , which is not exactly what the spirit of the song is about. now, look, david, thank you very, very much. david morris, conservative for and lewes conservative mp for and lewes del, just whizzing you through a whole smorgasbord of different issues as we kick start this week with yet more essentially asylum seeker madness. couple of quick just quick things. if you're just joining with through joining us the with you through a dropped today a new report dropped today centre social policy saying centre for social policy saying really should what we've really we should do what we've been about doing for been talking about doing for a long out hall, get long time out of the hall, get those deportation flights taking long time out of the hall, get those dimaybe on flights taking long time out of the hall, get those dimaybe get lights taking long time out of the hall, get those dimaybe get more taking long time out of the hall, get those dimaybe get more people off and maybe get more people processed offshore. the home secretary she secretary has said that she wants do a lot of this apart from the id card saying she's not a big fan of id cards. it comes as news emerges 8% of
3:19 pm
comes as news emerges that 8% of people asylum hear people claiming asylum hear from afghanistan, eritrea afghanistan, syria and eritrea have essentially been granted asylum with stripped back security checks, which i think will concern a lot of people and as well more one local councillor in that area given 15 hours notice to house 80 asylum seekers in its third margaret hotel, a seaside town heavily on tourism. you do the maths there, but we're just moving away from that. i'm going to return to it throughout the show, but i want to look at what britain would look like under labour because sir is dead. so sir keir actually is dead. so give us an insight. so that is easily been a couple of years. he sets his blueprint for what he a new britain, he calls a new britain, crucially , labour, new crucially, new labour, new britain wrestling power away from westminster and giving more of it than ever before to the devolved and english devolved nations and the english launching report which was led launching a report which was led by former prime minister gordon brown. he promised overhaul the way the country is and this is the line from it really although arguably shouldn't be as he wants to look at scrapping abolishing the house of lords.
3:20 pm
let's cross live now to political editor darren mccaffrey who is in leeds for us. good stuff. and that's where keir starmer. us. good stuff. and that's where keir starmer . keir starmer and keir starmer. keir starmer and former prime minister gordon unveiled these plans earlier tony. there's quite a lot to unpack. tony. there's quite a lot to unpack . let's start with the unpack. let's start with the house of lords stuff , if that's house of lords stuff, if that's all take away . indeed. all right, take it away. indeed. blast from past in many regards. gordon brown on stage behind the labour lectern lecture incited . labour lectern lecture incited. as you say, he's been working on this report for the last two years. the most eye catching initiative is that desire to see the house of lords abolished altogether to replaced by an entirely elected chamber. not many people , including the many people, including the labour leader, have said that the lords at the moment is essentially in defensible, i.e. it's closer over 800 members and been linked with cronyism . a lot been linked with cronyism. a lot of employees have decided to pack the chamber with some of their mates who may have done favours for them or for them in the past. in saying is a fully elected chamber way that many would want to go. you lose the
3:21 pm
expertise of many who've actually pretty big actually done some pretty big jobs in past. and is tony jobs in the past. and is tony blair following those out when you try to do these things that are easier said than done in many regards? he wants to get rid of the registry there. rid of all the registry there. there's still dozens dozens there's still dozens and dozens them in the chamber. but them left in the chamber. but sir keir starmer is , he says, sir keir starmer is, he says, determined to do this. and in first term as labour it's part of a wider package , as you say, of a wider package, as you say, of a wider package, as you say, of trying to restore what he calls is a kind of more democratic system where power is not concentrate . in westminster, not concentrate. in westminster, 50,000 civil servant jobs moving outside of london, more powers , outside of london, more powers, you say, to the devolved regions of england and to the as well . of england and to the as well. mp he's not been allowed to have second jobs. his argument is levelling up. all sounds great that the northern powerhouse all sounds great. but in the end, if local communities make these decisions, then by decisions are made. and he was the point that even though he backed remain in
3:22 pm
the brexit referendum , he would the brexit referendum, he would argue that brexit is about taking back control, but that doesn't necessarily mean just the parliament of westminster. it should be to local community is to, as i say, the proof in the pudding. politicians talk about constitution all the time . doing it is a hell of a lot harder than making speeches about it. it leads to, well, we'll wait and see. but of course, it all depends on whether he gets power in whether he gets into power in the place. well. well, the first place. well. well, it does just something does absolutely just something that under the that i thought maybe under the radar, slightly potentially quantum, triple article move from as you from sir keir starmer. as you wish. gordon brown wish. have gordon brown facilitating for facilitating it. the calls for scottish independence certainly grow whether or not grow louder whether or not that's reflected massively in the calls growing the polls. the calls are growing now brown very now to gordon brown very staunchly favour of keeping now to gordon brown very stalunions favour of keeping now to gordon brown very stalunions himself. of keeping now to gordon brown very stalunions himself. of keeping now to gordon brown very stalunions himself. of course] the unions himself. of course the unions himself. of course the scot himself now proposing more devolved powers to the various union countries. this could be quite a clever way of actually keeping the uk together, could it not not? yeah, i mean, that's been talked in the past. clearly one of the
3:23 pm
desires and one of the driving forces for independence or indeed welsh nationalism , or you indeed welsh nationalism, or you could say the they may be about northern ireland as well and the different regions is that people feel westminster, is feel that westminster, london is a away, it's not a long way away, that it's not necessarily charity representative , what they would representative, what they would like to you know, at local like to see, you know, at local communities . there is communities though. there is a counterargument, patrick, suggesting that actually one of the ways that labour tried to stymie particularly scottish independence the 1990s was with the introduction of the scottish parliament, but that was actually driven and independence movement that, you know, the for some powers led to the desire for more and more. so it's difficult to work out, but i think this is an interesting political move by labour in the house of lords isn't necessarily roundly popular in the country. i'm not it's going to win lots of votes, but least it allows them to set out argument that when lords gets themselves when the lords gets themselves into again, or whether into trouble again, or whether people enough people say there's not enough power local community can power in my local community can say, you what, we've say, well, you know what, we've actually this and we've got actually into this and we've got 155 report to go and read
3:24 pm
155 page report to go and read it and see what you think it is, at least some policy, some flesh on bones of which has been criticism that there's not been enough of that from this labour leader thus far. yeah, absolutely. least we're hearing something. means that can something. it means that we can either agree disagree with either agree or disagree with something starmer is something that keir starmer is doing. very doing. dara, thank you very much. mccaffrey from much. darren mccaffrey from leeds for you are we leeds for us. now you are we mean gb mean patrick christie's on gb news to come. are news loads to come. doctors are urged prescribe urged to probably prescribe antibiotics fever . antibiotics for scarlet fever. we a gp what signs of we will ask a gp what signs of strep a parents should look out for. big one that how for. it's the big one that how concerned should you be? just very quickly as well. i want to give note my inbox give a little note to my inbox gbviews@gbnews.uk a lot it gbviews@gbnews.uk a lot of it kicking off what's been kicking off about what's been going essentially, going on. essentially, it's emerged got all but in emerged we've. got all but in name only anyway open door name only anyway an open door asylum policy when it comes to afghanistan and eritrea. 98% of asylum applications from those parts of the world those countries are allowed in with minimal and road backed security. how do you feel about the un says kicked off in the box gb news news about meghan and latest the netflix
3:25 pm
3:28 pm
yes. well, how concerned should we all be about strep ? the uk we all be about strep? the uk health security agency has urged gp's to treat cases scarlet fever promptly with antibiotic x because of fears over that spread strep. a seven children sadly have died contracting the bacterial infection which can cause scarlet fever of the disease, are higher than expected for this time of year. now the government said this afternoon that it can fully understand that parents are concerned by rising strep cases , but it stressed the nhs is well prepared these situations. he's urged parents to be on the
3:29 pm
lookout for symptoms . lookout for symptoms. understandably, parents are deeply deeply concerned and people have left scratching people have been left scratching their to exactly why their heads as to exactly why this happening now. but this is happening now. but joining me lawrence joining me is dr. lawrence curtis, ceo of same day curtis, gp and ceo of same day doctor great to doctor. dr. lawrence, great to see you on the show yet again. no okay. alright, before we get stuck into exactly what is . i'd stuck into exactly what is. i'd like to ask you why is happening on despite the father this report that has come out into it the latest report appeared to indicate that a lack of child mixing during lockdown is one of the reasons for it. i have had a perception of doctors usually, by the way, the same ones that told me things like, you know, coronavirus definitely, definitely meat definitely came from a meat market. had an vaccine market. and we had an vaccine was 100% effective against everything lining now everything they are lining now to the lockdown have to say that the lockdown have nothing they nothing do with it. are they right ? no, they're not right . right? no, they're not right. patrick, i've been saying to my patients the last three months now, we've seen a loss of respiratory infections. and i've been saying, well, didn't see been saying, well, we didn't see any winters, two whole any for two winters, two whole winters. coughs winters. we didn't see coughs and because people were and colds because people were stuck their houses and
3:30 pm
stuck in their houses and suddenly seen a huge number of these because people out and about. but they're picking up about. but they're picking up about two which they've got no immunity . and i think strep a is immunity. and i think strep a is latest list. so in my mind and i've been saying this for some before strep i came along the lockdown has decreased our levels of immunity to these so in my mind this doubts about that at all. so you concerned that at all. so you concerned that this is just the start of, something that actually we get into the flu in the coffin cold season. everyone tends to get ill around the december time and not just because they want to wangle few days off over wangle a few extra days off over the christmas period. and we actually are going be seeing actually are going to be seeing higher of illness higher outbreak of illness amongst children , a result amongst children, a result of lockdown. coming to lockdown. is that coming to fruition now as we speak? possibly. look, i don't want to add panic. bear in mind, add to the panic. bear in mind, we've a pandemic, we've come out of a pandemic, which some extent was driven which to some extent was driven by from other sections of by panic from other sections of the mainstream media. so i do want to add to that we're not seeing a rise in covid. there was a peak a couple of months ago that's not come. we've not
3:31 pm
had epidemic yet this had a flu epidemic yet this winter. predicted that winter. and some predicted that might fortunately not might come. but fortunately not this . a very real epidemic i've this. a very real epidemic i've been working pretty much non—stop this weekend. bear in mind the news dropped heavily on friday evening just when the gp's all closed because they're not contracted to be open and sundays. i worked hours on saturday to just keep up with the demand with busy yesterday. i look busy today partly. i mean we're seeing really we were picking up positive strep swabs over a week ago . the news came over a week ago. the news came out and added to that huge amount of anxiety too from parents , which is understandable parents, which is understandable . this is a concern. this is a concern if we are we are sick. yeah. children have died. i the latest is seven children have sadly passed away as a result of strep but we now seeing the nhs potentially well in lack of full force yet again, which is that if parents are seeing something that they might not know what the symptoms are, they want to go to the gp then the gp is we
3:32 pm
can the kids off from school, which might the time you take which might be the time you take them and they can't them to the gp and they can't get there. well all the symptoms when it comes to strep a and how quickly can it spread mean, how important it that gp's are open more . well i understand in the more. well i understand in the absence emergency departments teeming this last weekend people couldn't get to the gp and i'm afraid this has come at a very bad time when gp access for a number of reasons, including shortage of gp's worse than ever the main look out for a fever going to the 38 degrees particularly the young child on to see if they've got a red tongue strawberry tongue . if you tongue strawberry tongue. if you can see their throat and it looks red with swollen tonsils of a child says they've got a sore throat they're old enough to describe it or stops eating and drinking because throat is so sore. those the key thing there's a rash that i saw a two year old on saturday. i mean, it scared me to see a rash like this. i haven't seen one of those for years. a red blanching
3:33 pm
rash. it's not the purple rash of meningitis. it's a bright red rash. and the skin can actually peel back. so a is a nasty infection. i been saying for years, don't dismiss every throat as a virus because at your peril. you will miss one of these. and we've forgotten that scarlet fever and indeed rheumatic fever, which damages valves, can affect the kidneys . valves, can affect the kidneys. well, so we need to take this seriously. and doctors have been advised to have a low for prescribing and biotics. many of the cases the deaths have been reported . there's been a delayed reported. there's been a delayed treatment of antibodies . six treatment of antibodies. six when they had seen the doctor . when they had seen the doctor. so this is worrying . dr. so this is worrying. dr. lawrence, thank you very very much, as always, for speaking sense and cutting through the noise when comes to the latest outbreak . also on a slightly outbreak. also on a slightly different now i do like the fact that you've come dressed as stormzy. anyway, there we, go. right. okay. just a couple of things in very, very things in inbox very, very quickly relating and quickly relating harry and meghan, to be talking meghan, i'm going to be talking about because that about them later on because that new trailer has just

3:41 pm
you'd be standing well. no. and the that i'm not standing is had a good run. i got elected in 1989 and people come up to me in the parliamentary party all the time now and say, my god, i wasn't even born then and i've had a good run and really enjoyed being a member of parliament serving, my constituents and my country, a brilliant toilet, but i haven't quite a lot of knowledge and experience . so what has been experience. so what has been tried by former governments and of course i'm really quite cautious about big changes. well, this is a crisis in the economy ? yes. well, a crisis in economy? yes. well, a crisis in the economy , absolutely. 100. the economy, absolutely. 100. but i wanted get your views on the house of lords is a is by definition an institution , but definition an institution, but it's a british institution as well. it's one of the great institutions of state the royal family going be talking family is going to be talking about as copter is about shortly as copter is copping it a lot at the minute that institution under threat is abolishing the house of lords really a vote winner? it looks
3:42 pm
like britain is. keir like new britain is. keir starmer is calling it just he just smash britain into just wants to smash britain into the not sure it's a the ground. i'm not sure it's a policy that you you're going to have to go out and sell the country. i'm not sure it will be that popular. are no governments coming tend to have hobbyhorse is that they , though they won't? is that they, though they won't? i remember when tony blair got in we wasted so junior, we wasted so much time debating fox hunting week after week, talking fox hunting, talking about fox hunting more than children and children's children living in poverty getting the balance . i'm poverty getting the balance. i'm all for reform , but let's get all for reform, but let's get our priorities right. yes. i mean, those headlines themselves and after the relentless back and after the relentless back and forth of ping pong, i mean, for sake was probably a personal classic when it came to all of that. but let's just move on and
3:43 pm
talk about, they say new britain but the reality that essentially gordon brown is supposedly drawing up keir starmer's plan for and talk of david for this and talk of david miliband coming back. mean, miliband coming back. i mean, it's new britain, is it's not really new britain, is it? not really new, for it? it's not really a new, for want a better phrase, labour want of a better phrase, labour party old one. i think party is an old one. i think it's a mixture the old and it's a mixture of the old and the new i very admired and worked for the election of . worked for the election of. david miliband at one stage and we've got some really good wives people but look tony blair's still giving the help we've also got i have to say the british bunch of frontbenchers you know, people like wes streeting and people like wes streeting and people like wes streeting and people like rachel reeves . is people like rachel reeves. is that cooper? we could have a really good bunch of frontbench shadow ministers but but reality in terms of reality, i should say, yes, we to the finer points of house of lords reform remain to be seen. i mean, it's a story and a non—story at the same time. we don't really know the
3:44 pm
3:45 pm
the european union and in the united states at the moment, no, but nobody really seems to care about what the does. well, i get what you're. we haven't got time for me to pick apart your on the brexit situation, but would argue that the vast majority of people public health people want public health services work general services that work general pubuc services that work general public services, that knows these and they want these strikes and they want something sorted out in the channel . and it channel sharpish. and when it comes migration and to be comes to net migration and to be fair, we want a good we want an honest government and efficient government that delivers for the people of the country on this on their first almost word. yeah okayi their first almost word. yeah okay i got this but keir starmer is not answering any questions that as he is not supporting the strikes he's not saying what we do stop them and he's not got do to stop them and he's not got any solutions for what's going on in the channel all. how's on in the channel at all. how's he so is this just smoke and mirrors? abolish house mirrors? i'll abolish house of lords don't deal lords announced they don't deal with is long with the government is a long way the next general way to the next general election. much of will be election. a much of this will be sorted and of course the important said for me turkeys

3:47 pm
meghan to suit other agendas. it's about hatred. it's about race it's a dirty game . pain and race it's a dirty game. pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution and this feeding frenzy . i realised feeding frenzy. i realised they're never to protect you . i they're never to protect you. i was . i they're never to protect you. i was. i didn't want to repeat itself . no one knows the full itself. no one knows the full truth . my heart bleeds. i think truth. my heart bleeds. i think the nation's heart bleeds, doesn't it? how much money it take to sell out your entire family . joining me now is gb family. joining me now is gb news is royal reporter cameron walker company. the anticipation is huge. the controversy is palpable. for palpable. but the dates for these revealed. and these have been revealed. and one is actually when one of them is actually when supposedly nurse nhs supposedly anyway nurse an nhs workers going on strike on supposedly anyway nurse an nhs wor15th going on strike on supposedly anyway nurse an nhs wor15th of going on strike on supposedly anyway nurse an nhs wor15th of december, strike on supposedly anyway nurse an nhs wor15th of december, whichyn supposedly anyway nurse an nhs wor15th of december, which it's the 15th of december, which it's a who has an a shame because who has an aneurysm they watch that aneurysm when they watch that will be able to get medical care. just talking about care. but just talking about this controversy raging, this controversy is now raging, isn't well,
3:48 pm
isn't it? well, very controversial . you're right. controversial. you're right. and on points the last on that points that the last episode going to be airing episode is going to be airing on the december actually the 15th of december is actually the 15th of december is actually the princess of wales cow service at westminster abbey. so yes, another overshadow for william so the william and kate. so that's the first say. you're right first thing to say. you're right controversial the first thing say is that prince harry claims that there is a hierarchy in, the family, there's leaking, there's plans of stories, all suggesting that there was an agenda against harry and meghan when they were working members of people with of the royal family, people with inside institution, inside the institution, colluding press colluding with the press to put out negative stories about out a negative stories about them. allegation of. them. that's the allegation of. course, been proven course, they've not been proven and deny that. and the palace would deny that. so i would say there is also he talks about the pain and suffering of women marrying into the institution you saw photographs of , princess diana photographs of, princess diana being allegedly hounded . the being allegedly hounded. the press, i think is prince harry. the comparison between diana and his wife meghan. i think he and that is, by the way, one of the big things. sorry to interrupt you. one of the big things that has got people going in inbox where actually that's where they think actually that's quite because what
3:49 pm
quite disgraceful because what people are saying is he's trying to cash in his mother's to cash in on his mother's anyway. i won't drag you into that yes, that rabbit hole, but yes, i mean, that's one element of it that seems strange, doesn't it ? that seems strange, doesn't it? it certainly does seem strange , it certainly does seem strange, but i think the interesting point is that he says no one knows the full truth . we know knows the full truth. we know the full truth . the problem for the full truth. the problem for prince harry is there's sides to every story . and another problem every story. and another problem is that the late queen sets a precedent following the oprah interview in 2021, when claims an unnamed member the royal family questions colour. archie's skin would be when he was born. harry accused his father financially cutting off cutting him off something which clarence denied. but because the said that precedence of recollection made very it would not surprise me if there was a particularly damaging allegation on thursday when the first three episodes come out that buckingham palace fights back. yeah, 100. and think on this yeah, 100. and i think on this point now , palace and point now, palace and the monarchy as whole has a usually anyway policy of don't comment
3:50 pm
on these kind of things, let it all wash over. essentially, some would argue dignity , being would argue dignity, being quietly of quietly dignified in the face of different whereas i am different storms, whereas i am wondering whether or not the pubuc wondering whether or not the public mood is shifting and in modern maybe it is getting modern times maybe it is getting to a stage now where the public would like the royal would quite like the royal family hit back bit. and on family to hit back bit. and on that sense i wonder if harry and meghan of bitten off than meghan of bitten off more than they chew that royal family they can chew that royal family is powerful the is a powerful beast the mechanism a powerful mechanism and it is a powerful beast it decides to grind beast if it decides to grind itself gear is itself into gear which is certainly a possibility but the mail sunday source mail on sunday reported a source that claims the king and that claims that's the king and queen are not worried about what and meghan going to say this and meghan are going to say this in series they are wary in this series they are wary which perhaps was reflecting the views of the public that they tired of what harry and meghan have to say because they seem to have to say because they seem to have been making the same complaints for the last 18 months. well and this it months. yeah well and this is it as well. and he's got a book out. goodness knows else out. goodness knows what else has we've had oprah has taken place. we've had oprah interview supposedly since the oprah not too oprah interview. they've not too on much interaction with the royal family. obviously was the
3:52 pm
lighting on their their relationship with the royal family. i think that doesn't sit right with people but from harry and meghan's perspective , of and meghan's perspective, of course, they no longer receive money from they didn't money from royal. they didn't receive in tax payers receive our money in tax payers money. so for grant it received money. so for grant it received money from charles. so the only way they can perhaps make money is signing these is by signing these multi—million with multi—million dollar deals with netflix, spotify book in january. as you said . and what january. as you said. and what have got to sell what have have they got to sell what have they got to other than it's they got to say other than it's sad, though, is it not respect, really, which is that you could be for that amount of be that for that amount of money, which be honest, money, which let's be honest, they from class of they are from a kind of class of people. one would assume, where they probably billionaires they probably get billionaires whilst very whilst they're doing their very best to become best to try to become billionaires the back air billionaires off the back of air in their dirty laundry in their family's dirty laundry in their family's dirty laundry in public. it just doesn't sit well with me. but cameron thank you very you're going you very much. you're going to be next few be a busy man. the next few weeks. i'll come and work. our correspondent, you correspondent, nice to have you back country by the way back in the country by the way anqi back anyway right. anqi back boston anyway right. okay from that okay moving away from that islands don't worry wilbur worry sentences and meghan sentences harry and meghan
3:53 pm
documentary aren't just one who aren't views on aren't really my own views on this very quickly which this just very quickly which is that prince could do that i think prince could do with up and going with shutting up and going because starting look because it is starting to look really really desperate and really really and desperate and forgive not the brains forgive me he's not the brains of he's absolutely not of britain. he's absolutely not so strong. exactly who so strong. rumours exactly who did coursework at school did his coursework at school example will amazed he example and i will be amazed he wins battle with our royal wins in a battle with our royal family moving . hundreds of family moving. hundreds of troops are on standby to cover for striking workers as ministers prepare for a wave of industrial actions. public services the run to services in the run up to christmas you one thing christmas and tell you one thing i was shocked by as well. well of the startling of all the startling announcements workers announcements say the workers shelter, homelessness shelter, the homelessness charity aren't going strike, charity aren't going on strike, but talks expected this but more talks expected this afternoon network rail afternoon between network rail and the rmt following the rmt rejection of the latest offer from the train companies and disputes in other industries on so 33,000 firefighters are being balloted on strike over pay . but balloted on strike over pay. but what do people make of the ongoing disruption? well, i i'd dig deep into the polls. can i just have little bit of a moment of clarity on this? as far as
3:54 pm
what was one thing that i thought about all of this, because i positioned myself very strongly. it came to things like the nurses strike and i've got to be honest you, i was to be honest with you, i was very about the that very angry about the idea that nurses strike, mainly nurses go on strike, mainly because it's basically because thought it's basically criminal do suffer. criminal if patients do suffer. however understand however i can understand why people very people feel very very passionately about nurses if passionately about the nurses if i being completely honest i am being completely honest i don't showing the don't mind showing this to the nafion don't mind showing this to the nation judgement on this nation perhaps judgement on this was little own was clouded a little bit. my own family's interactions with the nhs, it's fair to say not lot of them extremely positive. but that's representation of them extremely positive. but thatnation representation of them extremely positive. but thatnation asapresentation of them extremely positive. but thatnation as a resentation of them extremely positive. but thatnation as a whole,tion of them extremely positive. but thatnation as a whole,tioit?f them extremely positive. but thatnation as a whole,tioit? so the nation as a whole, is it? so i am kind of rowing back on this and think not entirely, and i think not entirely, but a little bit. and i think it comes out. seen recent out. i've seen some recent yougov is that yougov polls, which is that brits perhaps split than i brits are perhaps split than i gave us for, actually on gave us credit for, actually on whether trade unions will have a positive or negative role in britain and whether or not, well, people actually support the strikes . and that includes the strikes. and that includes what a poll came out. apparently 54% of you are in favour of the nurses strike and only around 20% of you are against . so, yes,
3:55 pm
20% of you are against. so, yes, perhaps i should reconsider my views on this slightly , but i am views on this slightly, but i am delighted to welcome to my show a couple of gb news viewers. joining me is carol fordham from, cambridge and alan mcneilly from grimsby. carol coral, i've misnamed you . coral, i've misnamed you. apologies, carol. there you go . apologies, carol. there you go. anyway, i wanted to get the views of the people on this because i was doing a lot of thinking over the weekend is always dangerous, but i'm starting to wonder whether or not i position myself correctly starting to wonder whether or not ithese on myself correctly starting to wonder whether or not ithese strikes elf correctly starting to wonder whether or not ithese strikes basicallytly over these strikes basically everyone going on strike ones. do you have the most sympathy for carol ? well, i do you have the most sympathy for carol? well, i think do you have the most sympathy for carol ? well, i think anyone for carol? well, i think anyone that isn't happy with their pay and conditions yes, i feel sympathy for but nurses , for sympathy for but nurses, for example, the mess that we're in the nhs is , they can't strike the nhs is, they can't strike it. we have got to come to some sort of agreement, a compromise or something i mean, who actually talking to them? how has the ministers, have they sat down, the unions? how far have they got? what have they offered
3:56 pm
them ? the government has left us them? the government has left us in such a mess. the backlog of people are dying and. they shouldn't be. so the last thing we need is them going on strike andifs we need is them going on strike and it's the same with all strikes, really. it shouldn't get to the point where they feel they have strike and that's they have to strike and that's that's of a big point, carol. and i'll throw this one over to alan now. alan alan in grimsby, because think the times this because i think the times this is one thing that i noticed over the weekend that tide was the weekend that the tide was turning we all staring down turning as we all staring down the a massive, the barrel of a massive, widespread sense that widespread action. i sense that some public some elements. the public opinion shifting towards the opinion is shifting towards the government, , have you let government, saying, have you let this happen ? your views. i would this happen? your views. i would agree with you the other lady on, the show that everyone will have for the nurses . i don't have for the nurses. i don't believe that they be striking, but i can understand why they might feel that they need to strike on the broader spectrum strikes and particularly with the rmt i got no sympathy with them whatsoever . the drivers
3:57 pm
them whatsoever. the drivers certainly are extreme really well paid and year they hold the country to ransom , particularly country to ransom, particularly that the chip driver . so yes that the chip driver. so yes they should be increases for those lower pay within the rails sector. the workers on cleaners and people like that. but i've got no sympathy for the migrants . i think it's just an outright people are going to be unhappy, but they've to come to a reality of what the country afford on this. is it and just quickly on this. is it and just quickly on this now because i more than any tweet i've ever put out coral i absolute copped it when i mean it when i said that i felt as though some nurses striking at children's hospital were potentially utilising the health of sick children for leverage . of sick children for leverage. it came to their pay. i got absolutely isolated for that and it made me think , well, do you it made me think, well, do you think that people self sense what they actually think? because both think lot because both you think a lot respect for nurses but actually i think right they i don't think it's right they strike but you think lot of
3:58 pm
strike but do you think a lot of people blindly go back to people just blindly go back to say i'm of nurses say that i'm behind of nurses struggling words people think i'm evil i'm think there's i'm an evil i'm think there's a possibility of that but i think and touched earlier and you touched on the earlier that and the bank that the government and the bank of we don't seem to be of england we don't seem to be talking them the of talking about them the bank of england actually their job and england actually theirjob and i looked it up is to keep the cost of living so that our money keeps purchase in power. now, nobody is talking about that and who was chance and the bank england governor inflation going up we didn't anything about interest rates so nobody's money going as far as it ought to be fairness and if you work through private company you'd have to just find another job wouldn't you? you couldn't just say, well, i'm not. you would have to find another job. exactly. well, find anotherjob. exactly. well, look, of you, thank you and look, both of you, thank you and alan i'm you alan especially, i'm sorry you won't able to come back won't be able to come back to you. i'm getting shouted out now because. always run over because. i always run over my signs. being terrible signs. i'm for being terrible because politics. but i would signs. i'm for being terrible beca to; politics. but i would signs. i'm for being terrible beca to have olitics. but i would signs. i'm for being terrible beca to have you:s. but i would signs. i'm for being terrible beca to have you both |t i would signs. i'm for being terrible beca to have you both back )uld signs. i'm for being terrible beca to have you both back on. love to have you both back on. and you so much into

4:11 pm
the channel by the end of the yeah the channel by the end of the year. of those 33,000 of them allegedly are from afghanistan, syria eritrea, sudan and iran . syria eritrea, sudan and iran. okay, guess how many of the afghans, the syrians and the eritreans i've just been granted asylum fast tracked asylum . 98% asylum fast tracked asylum. 98% 98. and sudan 87. iran . 82. it's 98. and sudan 87. iran. 82. it's also coming in as of course we are not really deporting that many people back to albania on the grounds of the modern slavery legal loophole. well despite writing a forward the home secretary says she doesn't agree with all of recommendations in today's report. joining now is a former home office special advisor . home office special advisor. he's now a conservative in kent, which is bang at the front line in the migrant crisis. our small boats land along the coastline . boats land along the coastline. look, themselves look, the proposals themselves i'm quite reluctant to actually really talk , this because really talk, this says, because we've this , haven't we've heard all of this, haven't we? really? i'm more to reveal the quite shocking stats about the quite shocking stats about
4:12 pm
the fact that we seem to be waving people from afghanistan syria try a through syria and never try a through with reduced security checks . with reduced security checks. aware of that , i wasn't aware of aware of that, i wasn't aware of that until you brought it up. and i it's only right that we do at rehoming people from afghanistan given the situation over there especially when it comes to i would rather see some kind of route for women and children be able to live safely. but as for reducing security checks , i think that that is not checks, i think that that is not the national interest. it certainly happen. and i would like to see some explanation from the home office as to why thatis from the home office as to why that is actually going ahead. surely you cannot just allow people to come into your country you don't know their background. you know what they've been involved in. and that's just common sense tells you that security checks are absolutely important . and they need to important. and they need to happen. so i think this is some really serious stuff that the home office has to answer. really serious stuff that the home office has to answer . yeah, home office has to answer. yeah, indeed. and also one of the statements made , lancaster
4:13 pm
statements made, lancaster council, the head of housing, lancaster, which is one of the areas that has been swamped really to the really when it comes to the asylum seeker crisis there in terms of hotels, there was terms of the hotels, there was a really interesting in that which said i'm told that someone's really interesting in that which said outi'm told that someone's really interesting in that which said out and old that someone's really interesting in that which said out and said hat someone's really interesting in that which said out and said this;omeone's really interesting in that which said out and said this because s come out and said this because i think have been sitting think people have been sitting on comes to on their hands when it comes to the hard reality. they are the cold, hard reality. they are now unless something done , now unless something is done, that inevitable . that conflict is inevitable. sybil and they were saying that conflict inevitable between conflict is inevitable between local and staying in local residents and staying in these hotels . and that can be these hotels. and that can be for a variety of different reasons. but we shouldn't shy away from the fact a lot of away from the fact that a lot of people think that this is just a reality. your views on whether or not if we continue along road that be conflict between or not if we continue along road that unquotenflict between or not if we continue along road that unquote thet between or not if we continue along road that unquote the indigenous quote unquote the indigenous population these asylum population and these asylum seekers . i population and these asylum seekers. i think it's population and these asylum seekers . i think it's inevitable seekers. i think it's inevitable that there will be clashes and as you say it's for a number reasons and at the moment people are working through a cost of living crisis. the weather is about to get an awful worse. people are finding tough and if they are seeing people being housed in hotels , which would
4:14 pm
housed in hotels, which would normally be for the hospitality industry, those people may have lost their jobs in that area. so they're going to be rightly about it. but i also think it's going to be anger at the fact that there is no forward as to what happens next. if you knew that this was only for a 2 to 3 week period, you would probably able to get your head around it and work with the community involved. but to come in last minute and say, well, they're here and we're just going to put them there because we know what else to do. you can understand that going be that communities are going to be rightly you can see rightly angry and you can see that are going occur that clashes are going to occur . not necessarily against . it's not necessarily against migrants, i believe it's against the whole. and happening the whole. and what's happening to when it's against to the area when it's against the system financially, it's the system? financially, it's impossible councils to impossible for local councils to now go into bat for the now really go into bat for the government, tory areas. government, even in tory areas. i evenin government, even in tory areas. i even in likes of the i mean, even in the likes of the royal of windsor, a made royal borough of windsor, a made in for where they in hand for example where they are tory and would are staunchly tory and would obviously conservative obviously back the conservative government under normal circumstances but having circumstances. but having these hotels them and now hotels landed on them and now i'm reports in the times
4:15 pm
i'm reading reports in the times that rishi sunak has got his own teams reportedly got his own teams reportedly got his own teams in the home office , that teams in the home office, that suella braverman is not particularly pro some kind of two tier system. so people being fast tracked like the afghanistans, the syrians and the eritreans based on nationality alone and something that she's expressed serious concern about in the past and people the reason people remember the real reason why she actually stepped down from one of the liz truss is things that we are about to witness a second resignation from. well the problem because at the minute the whole system is looking rudderless we don't know who's in charge. well we say and i've called for an immigration department to be set up separately from the home office because i think that this issue too enormous one issue is just too enormous one person. and as we have seen the home secretary currently doesn't have a plan of how to deal it and seemingly has no will deal with it. it's an awful lot tinkering around the edges. how how about we just make this one department of its own have one
4:16 pm
person solely response to both. like other countries do, they interior ministries and then we can set out a sensible plan for what with our borders and what we do with our borders and who and i think in in who in. yeah and i think in in many ways this is just proof of what a lot of people have been banging their heads against the desks and the walls saying which that we've got a quote unquote new centre for new report at the centre for policy written by nick policy studies written by nick timothy. nothing timothy. and there's nothing in that particularly massively that i particularly massively disagree with it, saying maybe i'm bit squishy about i'm a little bit squishy about becoming less squishy about as it emerges. people are it emerges. the people are apparently the apparently rampaging across the british will bus. british countryside at will bus. you've idea we should you've got the idea we should pull the eci. you've got the pull out the eci. you've got the idea now that we should basically deporting people to rwanda either, rwanda over countries either, i.e. . because you i.e. offshore. because you something we've been talking about for years and the idea this new now i think this is new report now i think a lot of people find quite something we've not moved forward have are all out forward have we. we are all out ofideas forward have we. we are all out of ideas or anyway those ideas. clare, thank you very much . you clare, thank you very much. you know, could talk to you all know, i could talk to you all day stuff. think i'm day on this stuff. think i'm going have out in your going to have it out in your rhythm i'll talk about it rhythm and i'll talk about it for most of the clap pass. so
4:17 pm
there is no conservative councillor cat the front councillor in cat on. the front line migrant crisis. line of that migrant crisis. well, had a friend at the well, i had a friend at the channel it's fair to say for want of better phrase, considering talk what's considering we talk about what's going but sir going on the channel. but sir keir given us a keir starmer has given us a flavour what the labour flavour of what the labour government would mean for all four of the uk. he's four nations of the uk. as he's vowed. unbind britain from the centre, not basically meaning that spend little that he's going spend a little bit away from bit of power out away from westminster. says that the westminster. he says that the centralisation powers is not delivered. plans more delivered. the plans more power being developed nations and regions labour consider regions and labour will consider abolishing of lords. abolishing the house of lords. some argue true keir some would argue in true keir starmer fashion it was very, very short on detail, but there we go that will just be the cynic he's currently cynic in me. he's currently speaking in speaking alongside brown in edinburgh giving edinburgh where they are giving more detail all of this, not more detail on all of this, not before time i believe we can go to the outcome we use this. oh no, we don't go into it just we're not going to just attack enoughin we're not going to just attack enough in a matter of moments. we let's get some we might be. let's get some reaction this . henry reaction from this. henry morrison is director of the northern powerhouse partnership . ed henry, you join me now. northern powerhouse partnership . ed henry, you join me now . and . ed henry, you join me now. and she is frankly, you've saved us
4:18 pm
from live interaction of keir from a live interaction of keir starmer the nation is starmer said the nation is grateful harry what do you make of there actually of this is there actually anything really get anything to really get stuck into about into he's spoken about abolishing lords abolishing the house of lords dishing a little bit more dishing out a little bit more power these areas. but is power to these areas. but is there any substance substance ? i there any substance substance? i think there is quite a lot of substance, to be honest. and i think one of the challenges with kind boris johnson's was in kind of boris johnson's was in the equated often not the end equated to often not much more the warm words. so i the benefit of something like this is more focussed on giving powers to mass to create more fundamental shift funding and powers out of the centre will do a lot more than the kind of pageant funding competitions that the now new prime minister oversaw as chancellor because it would be paying for a new swimming pool in newcastle is not to make people in the north more prosperous, but actually improving the skills system, improving the skills system, improving the skills system, improving the local. do the latest significant difference. yeah. do the local actually want it? because as far as can tell
4:19 pm
one to nicola sturgeon's big things is that she can at least as stands polling at as stands polling down at westminster that messing it westminster say that messing it up us despite the fact that up for us despite the fact that as far as i can see pretty much everything she's in control is knackered. you've the knackered. then you've got the welsh mean the welsh government, i mean the welsh government, i mean the welsh not in great shape. welsh nhs is not in great shape. it's isn't it, it's the old argument isn't it, that government is to do to that this government is to do to the eu go oh you know, it's the eu and go oh you know, it's all their then you give all their fault. then you give them power and they mess it them the power and they mess it up. would the devolved up. so would the devolved nafions up. so would the devolved nations more power? nations want to take more power? because with power comes more responsibility. i think people do responsibility and responsibility. i think people dthink responsibility and responsibility. i think people dthink your responsibility and responsibility. i think people dthink your characterisation and responsibility. i think people dthink your characterisation ofj i think your characterisation of a welsh circumstance i think is a welsh circumstance i think is a bit different actually to some scottish policy debate. i think actually mark drakeford often does try take responsibility for things and has often had a sort of a more sensible approach dunng of a more sensible approach during some of the challenges of the last two years. i think i think the welsh government has been quite able to sometimes respond better than probably westminster in the case of the northern mayors, we don't have
4:20 pm
anyone near the pounds the scottish government do, despite the fact that where i'm sitting here in yorkshire is the size of scotland and the north of england is 50 million people. so i don't think it's unreasonable that we be allowed to have a few more of the responsibilities when to drive our economy. when able to drive our economy. and i think as a station devoted to hear voices around the to hear the voices around the country, i'm sure you've heard loud actually loud and clear that actually many people do what westminster to take a little bit less a over interest in these type of things and actually allow places to do this for themselves. now look, i'm i'm from the north of england as well myself, i think especially when you look around , i'm not from the , you know, i'm not from the yorkshire course as yorkshire area but of course as we all it is god's own we all know it is god's own county and some would argue there are calls, the calls for that to run itself are relatively one of my concerns would be you spoke a lot regional mayors, but what's the kind turnout like a mayoral election because actually are people not voting for what's going on in westminster and with the best will in world?
4:21 pm
the best will in the world? i mean, end up with andy mean, you end up with andy burnham in charge of more. i mean that actually democratic. well, mean, andy burnham well, i mean, andy burnham got an overwhelming so a much bigger majority the second time the first time so turnout should what i would say is what's notable is that the mayors that stood the second time ended up with much bigger mandate, much bigger mandates than the average at the. you mean there aren't many them getting 60, 70% of the vote? so it makes sense to their particular constituency . so particular constituency. so i would argue that all mayors , a would argue that all mayors, a lot to real people . yeah, lot close to real people. yeah, it's a fair bit of what we're able to do. so the problem with electing mp is they don't get electing an mp is they don't get much over the place much power over the place represent. they get one say along with everyone else and that's doesn't mean can that's doesn't mean they can actually own actually change anything in own area. okay all right. area. well, okay all right. thank very, very been thank you very, very much. been great. you. i would love great. talk to you. i would love to talk to you again very shortly about this. the reception perfectly shortly about this. the reception i perfectly shortly about this. the reception i would erfectly shortly about this. the reception i would lovetly shortly about this. the reception i would love to talk ideal, but i would love to talk to you henry fascinating to you again. henry fascinating conversation. clearly a trump, he onions. it comes to
4:22 pm
he knows his onions. it comes to everything, and everything, devolution and indeed you expect indeed well, as you would expect for of the northern for the director of the northern powerhouse henry powerhouse partnership, henry morris, right. are morris, of that right. you are with on gb with me patrick christys on gb news. up, as doctors news. coming up, as doctors are urged prescribe urged promptly prescribe antibiotics fever. antibiotics for scarlet fever. we ask gp what the signs we will ask a gp what the signs of strep are and is cause of strep are and what is cause this outbreak and. do this latest outbreak and. do the british actually support british public actually support action? i've i've i hate to say this i'm starting row back a little bit i don't support little bit now i don't support the strikes and i'm becoming a little bit more little bit little bit more a little bit more to the needs more sensitive to the needs people who frankly are now skint. the unite skint. i will ask the unite regional about all of regional officer about all of this but oh, and this shortly. but that oh, and also we're talking harry and meghan vaiews@gbnews.uk . okay meghan vaiews@gbnews.uk. okay i am desperate to actually am desperate to go to actually because there's some dynamite in there comes those there when it comes those whingers whinge and ginge. anyway see the weather anyway i see after the weather again aidan mcgivern here from the met office it's fairly cloudy out there. there are some showers about and it's also feeling cold but cold is on the way than this during the next few days. at the moment we've got a chilly easterly breeze that will be well moved out of the way. this increasingly cold
4:23 pm
wind during the next couple of days which will bring some snow to places for the time being. any showers out there are may rain and they're mostly eastern parts of the country making their way into the midlands wales, northern ireland, some southern counties of england. as we end the day . but the showers we end the day. but the showers in the south will move away the showers inland will tend to and the showers across the north will pick up pace, especially for northern scotland as the northerly winds arrive . but for northerly winds arrive. but for most we'll enough cloud, enough of a breeze to prevent widespread frost as we begin tuesday, just a touch of frost for north wales, the midlands, parts of northern ireland for example , because of the clearer example, because of the clearer spells and increasingly the cloud will up. so we're going to swap the cloudy easterly for a much clearer crisper northerly dunng much clearer crisper northerly during plenty of sunshine in the south and the west. further areas of cloud showers into the north and the east in particular, and an increasingly cold and northerly wind. so mid
4:24 pm
single figures for many, but colder in that and the wind's going to drag freezing air from the arctic so for northern scotland on night the snow level coming down and it looks like by the end the night snow falling it's all for the north of scotland and there'll be a widespread frost with clear spells more likely western parts of the country , even in towns of the country, even in towns and cities minus two or , minus and cities minus two or, minus three celsius in the countryside lower than that. nevertheless a bright start to the day for many, some areas of cloud in the east and the north along with some showers mostly these are rain hill snow showers but rain and hill snow showers but for scotland snow for northern scotland the snow building low levels 2 to 5 building up at low levels 2 to 5 centimetres over hills , 5 to 10 centimetres over hills, 5 to 10 centimetres over hills, 5 to 10 centimetres could cause issues .
4:28 pm
gentleman lows to come but the uk how agency has urged gp's to treat cases of scarlet fever with antibiotics because of fears of the spread of strep now six children have died. seven, i believe it is actually now after contracting the bacterial , which contracting the bacterial, which can cause scarlet fever of the disease, are higher than expected for this time of year. and the government said this it can fully understand that parents are concerned by rising strep cases. but how stressed the nhs is well prepared for these which frankly would make a change wouldn't it is urging parents to be on the lookout for the which we will run the symptoms which we will run through helpfully for you through rather helpfully for you in of moments. in a matter of moments. the outbreak raised an urgent outbreak was raised in an urgent question the house lords, question in the house of lords, which starmer abolish which keir starmer might abolish earlier my lords, i beg earlier today. my lords, i beg leave to ask question of which i've given private notice. the question is as follows to ask his majesty the government what assessments they have made of their guidance to doctors and to parents in of the increase in strep . i guess and scarlett
4:29 pm
strep. i guess and scarlett cases. strep. i guess and scarlett cases . the uk strep. i guess and scarlett cases. the uk health strep. i guess and scarlett cases . the uk health security cases. the uk health security agency has declared a national standard incident to coordinate the public health response . they the public health response. they are working with schools and gps where there are outbreaks to provide information on scarlet fever. and i guess a rapid surveillance and communications to the health system has been published to ensure heightened awareness amongst frontline clinicians where. also putting out key messages for parents to understand the trigger points . understand the trigger points. urgent referrals of children with more serious cases . my . with more serious cases. my. great you could have brought her to a class either fell i couldn't came dressed as a page boy as well which is anyway. joining me now is david denning professor of infectious diseases at university. david, professor of infectious diseases at do university. david, professor of infectious diseases at do our university. david, professor of infectious diseases at do our public'ersity. david, professor of infectious diseases at do our public health david, professor of infectious diseases at do our public health firsti, let's do our public health first and what some the and point out what some of the symptoms are and what people can look out for and how we can treat strep . the group strep, treat strep. the group strep, you causes tonsillitis and
4:30 pm
obviously very uncomfortable and. bad news for many people who get and it's very common it also cause scarlet fever which is mild sore throat fever and a rash is sort of bumpy rash on the trunk, which also typical often a bright red tongue and with the paleness around lips and the areas mouth. what's this 7 and the areas mouth. what's this ? what's different about this outbreak? and it occurs every yearin outbreak? and it occurs every year in certain sense is that these cases occur not there's an outbreak, but certain cases occur. is sepsis or toxic shock syndrome due to strep streptococcus. and this is a much more serious disease as we've learned from these poor children who've died and the symptoms of that of about two thirds of the children get vomiting , about half of them vomiting, about half of them have a rash, a generalised rash . some of them have bright eyes and a sense that the conjunctiva is red. you get diarrhoea. and
4:31 pm
about 40% of patients almost all of them have a high fever and they have chills. but not always and then a smaller proportion 40% are not quite with it. and a bit confused or have difficulty articulating themselves semi—conscious and diarrhoea occurs in some of these children as well. so it's a broad of illness. there isn't a single thing that is there that you can absolutely nail and say, right. that's the group strep . just that's the group strep. just quickly again, how do people actually contract it? how is it spread and close contact? it's a common mouth organism . so it common mouth organism. so it goes from person to it doesn't it doesn't travel in the but if people cough or , they share people cough or, they share saliva or they share toys and other things, that's how it is, presumably. that's why it's a lot more common amongst children because milling around in nurseries so we ignoring a slight elephant in the here
4:32 pm
which is that there are some the reason why some of the strap cases not picked up cases are not being picked up early because, as gp said to early is because, as gp said to me earlier on, people are struggling to get to gp appointments the and appointments at the moment and also lockdown effects also well, the lockdown effects on a lack of mixing when it comes to children i think those are both reasonable speculations . i can't really be definitive or on them in any force . or on them in any force. certainly immunity over time , certainly immunity over time, important with group k strep, otherwise will be getting this infection to . and so that's infection to. and so that's presupposes that a lack of mixing in childhood , in schools, mixing in childhood, in schools, etc. that there's been less strep circulating and therefore more children are more susceptible to it and also know that one of the reasons why people get this toxic shock syndrome associated strep is because they haven't got anti to strep and so we treat it actually with antibody therapy to try and complex the toxin that causes the severe disease .
4:33 pm
that causes the severe disease. so you may well be right that there is less strep circulating and therefore more susceptible people about . oh, right. look, people about. oh, right. look, thank you very much for kind of cutting through the noise when it comes strep david adding it comes to strep david adding that professor infectious that professor of infectious at manchester university say i just want to delve into the world of my inbox i throw over at the knees quickly . one of our knees very quickly. one of our big day would be big topics of the day would be leading each leading with each hour a shocking, shocking, shocking figures when it comes to what's been on in the channel. been going on in the channel. did know that now have did you know that we now have essentially open border essentially an open border policy afghan syria and policy with afghan syria and eritrea would as eritrea and i would argue as well, basically sudanese and iranian as well, 98% of iranian asylum as well, 98% of afghan syrians and eritreans of just being waved through and granted asylum . this country, granted asylum. this country, when they come across the channel with strips back secured to checks, how does that make you is in arms? it's as if you feel? is in arms? it's as if hotels are being used to accommodate immigrants accommodate illegal immigrants not losing their not only are people losing their jobs. not only jobs. in our industry. not only is suffering, but there is tourism suffering, but there will knock effects to will be knock on effects to shop keepers. former tourist keepers. his former tourist company customers, say, company customers, i should say, will visiting tea rooms, will not be visiting tea rooms, restaurants, pizza, absolutely.

4:39 pm
welcome wonderful people right now in a few seconds , i'll be now in a few seconds, i'll be discussing the new trailer for the hurricane, meghan's documentary, and whether there's now more support for striking . now more support for striking. but those of you be getting in touch , your thoughts on the touch, your thoughts on the migrant. and, well, touch, your thoughts on the migrant. and, well , there was a migrant. and, well, there was a report published today from , the
4:40 pm
report published today from, the centre for policy studies, which basically okay, got basically said, okay, we've got some ideas this , some bright ideas for this, we've bright ideas we've got some bright ideas about with and about how to deal with it. and then proceeded, far as i then proceeded, as far as i could anyway, to publish could tell anyway, to publish the exact same things that people been talking about for years, of years, such as getting us out of jail, getting people on planes to making sure they to rwanda, making sure they never the if they never foot in the uk if they come here illegally, potentially introducing cards, all of that usual suella braverman usual guff. so suella braverman basically an aim to at least basically put an aim to at least a bit of it at the start but the problem is now exactly the problem is now on exactly the same rather unfortunately same day rather unfortunately for publishers for the publishers of that report, me, it's report, if you ask me, it's emerged that a region in lancaster anyway around lancaster anyway and around morecambe area was given 15 hours notice when it came to having to house 80 asylum seekers in their third migrant hotel . the local mp actually hotel. the local mp actually told me here on gb news he was given just 5 hours notice and when he asked what was going on, he wasn't given an answer. also, get load of this because we also over when with the backlog of people coming over in small boats and estimates, 50,000 of them arrive by the them are due to arrive by the end of this year. are now
4:41 pm
end of this year. we are now waving through . we have waving people through. we have reduced amount security reduced the amount of security checks that got in place checks that we've got in place specifically for people from afghanistan, syria and sudan and iran. so 98% of people who claim to be from afghanistan, syria and eritrea have been allowed and eritrea have been allowed and granted in the united kingdom. not quite sure how that makes you feel, but susan's been on susan's . in barrow, in on susan's. in barrow, in furness. we have to hotels overlook a secure site building nuclear submarines. how is that not a security risk? to be fair. i absolutely your point. and i'm on your side of this, susan. but if an asylum seeker comes over the channel and knows how to mount a nuclear submarine, we've got problems anyway. got bigger problems anyway. marie's her name? marie's so what's her name? marie's so what's her name? marie says. surely requisition of property puts us wartime of property puts us a wartime footing. putting footing. and this is putting bofis footing. and this is putting boris issue is, boris over. the issue is, though, not really though, it's not really requisition the what requisition because the what they're they're picking they're doing is they're picking where, let's be honest, the hotel absolute hotel trade took an absolute kicking during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. so pandemic with lockdown. so they're seaside they're on their knees. seaside like blackpool , like morecambe, like blackpool, all these places, they've taken all these places, they've taken a for years account
4:42 pm
a kicking for years on account of cheap abroad . i mean of cheap travel abroad. i mean a lot of people now are going to alicante not, not, not, not morecambe blessed. all morecambe blessed. and so all these hotels and boarding houses are just offered , you are just being offered, you know, to quote the mafia, you know, to quote the mafia, you know, they can't know, it's an offer they can't refuse it, from the home refuse isn't it, from the home office and they're saying office and they're just saying well fine. but well yeah alright fine. but local being local councils not being consulted of this consulted about all of this stuff end up the case stuff and so you end up the case of morecambe and lansdown and lancaster margaret lancaster with three margaret hotels reports finally hotels and the reports finally someone's out and said this someone's come out and said this , this, that is , someone said this, that is inevitable. does that make the locals racist? know what it does is as we're in the middle of a cost of living they're seeing hotels being taken asylum hotels being taken by asylum seekers , many of them, it would seekers, many of them, it would appean seekers, many of them, it would appear, being way through minimal security effort, staying for than the alleged for lot longer than the alleged three stay , three weeks that people stay, council being used council houses, them being used house. some these people at house. some of these people at lower rental sector properties being to house them as well on top of all of that the taxpayer funding and it just builds funding it or and it just builds conflict it. craig says it's an absolute disgrace that the tories are still talking about getting grips with illegal
4:43 pm
getting to grips with illegal immigration. proposals immigration. the new proposals in if they in this report, even if they wish implement them, wish to implement them, will have go through the stages of have to go through the stages of parliament will take many parliament and will take many months law. it's all months to become law. it's all far, late. well, this is far, far too late. well, this is the didn't i believe it was, the didn't say i believe it was, steve. i was who got steve. i know was craig who got in touch to say, look, craig it's not new proposals is it's the stuff over and over the same stuff over and over again. are sick again. i think people are sick and now of hearing the and tired now of hearing the home secretary's, various different and she's different homes and she's talking and thing talking tough. and one thing that really that i think is really interesting is that suella braverman slipped braverman and this slipped through little bit. through the net a little bit. i'll with one i'll just leave with this one just before move to on alan just before we move to on alan braverman has come out and said that she against having a two tier asylum system she's tier asylum system so she's against idea just because tier asylum system so she's against comes just because tier asylum system so she's against comes from 3ecause tier asylum system so she's against comes from acause tier asylum system so she's against comes from a particular someone comes from a particular like afghanistan that they are fast tracked the asylum fast tracked through the asylum process. argue process. many people would argue or raise serious concerns that countries like afghanistan, syria , for example, are not syria, for example, are not countries that traditionally wish as well in fact, we know that that's not the case, isn't it? and one would argue that maybe those are all countries where we should be increasing security checks of people coming
4:44 pm
over here, not waving them through. well, if reports true that suella braverman is dead against against idea against debt, against the idea that we're waving through all that we're waving through in all but people from, but name people from, afghanistan but the afghanistan and syria, but the prime minister is essentially making do it undermining at making a do it by undermining at the office how it the home office. how long is it before suella braverman resigns 7 before suella braverman resigns ? they got vaiews@gbnews.uk uk. keep those years coming in. i kicked off. it's also kicked off of course, about meghan and harry's new documentary for netflix. the have dropped my big takeaway from it apparently it starts on the 8th of december and then the rest of the videos will be on the 15th of december. my will be on the 15th of december. my big problem with that is the 15th of december is supposed to coincide with the nurses strike. so everyone a massive so when everyone has a massive catastrophic that catastrophic aneurysm and that sickening documentary, sickening in this documentary, who's treat now but who's going to treat now but it's like we it . it's almost like we planned it. we're going to talk about strikes more, crisis talks. strikes now more, crisis talks. it's taking afternoon it's taking place this afternoon to strikes that could to avert rail strikes that could cause chaos. chaos over cause travel. chaos. chaos over christmas. now for the rmt rejected the latest pay offer . rejected the latest pay offer. number ten says the current offer of an 8% pay rise over two
4:45 pm
years as well as a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies before . april 2024 is fair, but before. april 2024 is fair, but the rail union said the deal wouldn't protect members and wouldn't protect members and would lead to unsafe . i believe would lead to unsafe. i believe that gb news is west . reporter that gb news is west. reporter john carson joins now from birmingham. he's been out finding out what the public make of this. yes jack, i heard we saw where you are that someone in birmingham is looking looking rather vibrant anyway terms of the lighting at least what are the lighting at least what are the public of these rail strikes ? well, like you said, patrick, the rmt, mick lynch rejected this 8% pay offer this morning . this 8% pay offer this morning. and it tells us that lightning strikes are going to go ahead. like you said, crisis talks holding on right now. but when it strikes , it comes to strikes, birmingham's always really been a a mixed bag support a bit of a mixed bag of support and to this strikes and opposition to this strikes people they why people saying they always why the are going ahead but the strikes are going ahead but always commenting on how always also commenting on how the disruption and how much disruption it causes to them. i've been out on the street today and here's what a few
4:46 pm
people had to say. being selfish. i do like to to selfish. i do like to go to birmingham at christmas. so it's not for the public going not great for the public going in out of birmingham . it's in and out of birmingham. it's not really. it's not not ideal, really. it's not possible. and often they they need more. these be paid more something the railway . it's not something the railway. it's not going of the strike coming up they need to make people listen and the only way they'll do it is to stop working . so whether is to stop working. so whether we like it or not it's got to happen and i understand yet they don't get paid enough money how hard they work. but from my point of view, it's annoying that i understand from that point of view, it's probably as well. better well. space people need better and working conditions and better working conditions and better working conditions and to try and that's the way to try and draw people's to it. so yeah, i mean if you don't support them, you're against it. but i think as happens in many as happens in so many professions the public so easily against and i think we against people and i think we should support them . so that's should support them. so that's what people the street here in birmingham have been been saying today. revenue for the railway companies is down 20. and so the
4:47 pm
rail group are saying that they're trying to offer best offer they can in challenging times. but it does look like if an offer and an agreement can't be made, that going to have be made, that are going to have mass disruption the railways mass disruption on the railways for week, over for the next week, over christmas new year, new christmas into the new year, new year more patrick year, more strikes. patrick yeah, john thank you yeah, indeed. john thank you very, much. well, surely very, very much. well, surely i'll be speaking to the unite union representative. it was supposed to but earlier i'm supposed to, but earlier i'm assured hasn't gone on assured he hasn't gone on strike. will indeed up strike. he will indeed turn up shortly. the online safety shortly. first the online safety bill. government's flagship bill. the government's flagship internet back in internet regulation has back in parliament today after a five month delay. now i know a lot of you might be wondering your you might be wondering what your about. also with free about. this is also with free speech and stuff like that anyway among those who've gathered the gathered in westminster for the occasion families who occasion are families who believe contributed believe social media contributed in to their children's in some way to their children's deaths of deaths very much. two sides of this debate. people say this debate. some people say we need free speech the need more free speech of the people we need people saying we need regulations. stop stuff like this urging this happening. they're urging the government to make a of key amendments to the bill. and joining me now from westminster is, understand news is is, i understand the gb news is absolutely cold. london absolutely freezing cold. london reporter poulter . what's reporter alice poulter. what's
4:48 pm
going on? good evening. yes, we've had a number of very who have gathered in westminster today and they're putting forward a very key amendment to the awaited online safety bill, which force social media companies to open up the data of children if it was believed to be a contributor factor in their death . and i'm joined now by death. and i'm joined now by baroness , who's putting forward baroness, who's putting forward this amendment and lauren lafave , whose son breck died relation to social media. i to ask i to social media. ito ask i start this interview by asking this question but do you mind just reminding people of the role social media played in your son brett's death ? well, my son son brett's death? well, my son brett , 14 year old everyday brett, 14 year old everyday school boy, was gaming with friends from , school and friends from, school and unfortunate it was a predator was running the gaming gaming group . and there was a lot of group. and there was a lot of bullying from the predator online. and even then , after online. and even then, after bullying the other boys, and when my son, i asked him to stop
4:49 pm
spending time with this person because felt like he was a danger. because felt like he was a danger . the predator then danger. the predator then cyberstalking him. so it was on so many different platforms that i couldn't keep up with where they were interacting . i would they were interacting. i would cut off, you know, certain games or aspects or , platforms and the or aspects or, platforms and the predator would then come round and find my son breck in another way . so it was very to know what way. so it was very to know what was really going and it went underground. when i tried to forbid it. and it was that relationship that sadly led to your son's death. yes. he was lured to the predator's flat even after had alerted teachers, police, other parents. i couldn't get the help that i needed because we nobody knew what to do . that's why i set up what to do. that's why i set up a charity called , the bricks a charity called, the bricks foundation, to try to educate so that people will the signs of grooming , whether it's happening grooming, whether it's happening on social media or gaming or any platform. our children are using. and that's very much the heart of this amendment that is crucial, i guess, for people to understand and is that there are
4:50 pm
families at heart of it who've lost loved ones. you just perhaps baroness catherine , just perhaps baroness catherine, just explain amendment. what it explain this amendment. what it actually for people . yeah, actually means for people. yeah, i want to say each of the families has a very different and each of them is an absolute . but when it came the point of trying to understand and what the contributing factors were to their child's death, they an absolute roadblock and this amendment really just sorts that process it appoints ofcom the as the point person between the family and tech company it puts more it gives powers coroners and responsibilities to coroners to really consider whether a tech or a regulated company they're called has some part to play they're called has some part to play in the child's death. and then it makes a requirement the tech company to preserve to redact and to bring forward that
4:51 pm
information and. and i think that people don't realise that this can take years and years and years in the group of the families who are here in parliament today , there are some parliament today, there are some families who've been right the way through the coroner inquest experience and they still haven't had the information that they really want to , give them they really want to, give them comfort. so what you're wanting is making sure. so for anyone who's watching so they understand is that if there's any child dies in circumstances where social media has been a factor a contributing factor, they can their records . some they can their records. some people listening to this or watching may think gosh, yes obviously really difficult. our hearts go to families, but some people may be uncomfortable with the of children's private records being opened up to their parents so they may not have wanted them to say yeah i think the privacy angle is very important and i'm actually a privacy campaigner myself. so i
4:52 pm
feel it very passionately. but i think that what we have done we have constructed a system whereby ofcom is the into a locator so there is no question that family suddenly a child's information without some other pro face a formal process having gone through having been gone through . and i think the other through. and i think the other thing that i just do to say on behalf of the families is they are calling for a number of things. and most those things are about keeping children safe the first place. you cannot make the first place. you cannot make the whole of the tech world safe . but it really is quite a calling. and if you hear the stories of the families, no human person could really deny them this opportunity . well, them this opportunity. well, look, thank you so much both of you for speaking to us today. i wish you the best of luck. best of luck with your amendment on such an important issue that's . such an important issue that's. so many people, it's this online safety bill been very much
4:53 pm
safety bill has been very much long awaited many families long awaited for many families and poses a number of and of course poses a number of questions when it comes to balancing regulation of the internet speech. alice, internet and free speech. alice, thank very , very alice thank you very, very much. alice post is reports just bring post that is reports just bring you latest there. well, it's you the latest there. well, it's not just railway walking off the job. asked hundreds of staff are homeless in this charity shelter. have also begun two weeks of strike action . the weeks of strike action. the unite union says that the 3% pay rise offered this year that some of the charity's staff unable to pay of the charity's staff unable to pay their rent and worried about the prospects of becoming homeless. themselves. regional for the unite union peter story i believe joins me now. peter thank you very very much . so why thank you very very much. so why all staff shelter taking to weeks off in their busiest time of year . so i don't whether you of year. so i don't whether you pay of year. so i don't whether you pay rent yourself but those of those of the shelter that do which is the majority they're young workers. you've got the
4:54 pm
cost of rent increasing by something like 15% at the moment . so inflation , that includes . so inflation, that includes the cost of housing such as rpi which is at 14.2, means that a 3% pay award impose stone imposed on the staff. not, not negotiated, not. who can i ask. who? who pays? you need to educate a bit about shelter. i'll be honest with you. who pays the staff's wages ? is it is pays the staff's wages? is it is it is from government funder is. is it the organisation? no. this this is a charity show. is it the organisation? no. this this is a charity show . charity. this is a charity show. charity. so they're facing an 11% real terms pay cut , which so they're facing an 11% real terms pay cut, which means a, you know , 3. those men pay rent. you know, 3. those men pay rent. doesit you know, 3. those men pay rent. does it come from donations so is it completely out of it? does it does. and you know. all right, i'm of the i should have done. well, what you mean reputational damage. reputational damage the british public. because the british public, donate public, who generously donate stuff shelter, essentially stuff to shelter, essentially going strike, asking them to going on strike, asking them to the to pay we're
4:55 pm
the british public to pay we're asking them to continue to do because what we are hoping is that show it's a up and realise take a reality about the cost of living crisis out there. you've got homeless . much money shelter got homeless. much money shelter that saying patrick you've got advisers dealing with housing insecurity and they're facing housing insecurity themselves they young workers. i'm very sympathetic to all of that to pay sympathetic to all of that to pay the rent. yeah i get this i get this but but in terms of if their wages are coming directly from the public just shelter we haven't got the money in order to do this presumably it's about priorities isn't it. if you if you've got a budget and you spend your budget and then when run out, you say, well, we've got 3% left, doesn't work. you've got to make your workforce your top priority . workforce your top priority. well, i want to know if you're a charity to protect the homeless. surely the is your top priority . well, yes, of course. and if
4:56 pm
you if the staff can't know if the staff can't do their job, you have to look after your staff. it's a bit like the nhs. it's it's the work is being exploited , it's it for that exploited, it's it for that goodwill. if choose to work in this sector , the economy in the this sector, the economy in the in the charity sector you're working for love but you still have to pay your bills and you can't you can't forever exploit that goodwill. you're the air when people take terms pay cuts every year . when people take terms pay cuts every year. yeah, but i'm just struggling to get grips with exactly who is responsible for all of this, because it would appear to me that the ultimate role relies on the shoulders of british public who are not doing enough, apparently, to money to shelter. we're all skin as well . no, no, it's not the public the chancellor. we've got the money . so we've got 17 million money. so we've got 17 million in reserve which they've spent 4 million. we're getting even a bit more up to october of this year when their staff were going
4:57 pm
we're talking about going on strike . so we're making a pay strike. so we're making a pay claim that would give them real terms . well, it would it would terms. well, it would it would keep them level. that's the point isn't it? you know, inflation is 14% and they've asked for 10. right. we've costed that we know it's affordable. it's within their reserves. they can pay it. it's a matter of priorities . and some a matter of priorities. and some people would argue that shelter, an openly left leaning arguably labour's supporting organisation , which appears to be emphasised by the fact that you know, union isindeed by the fact that you know, union is indeed responsible for a lot of that workforce is strike action . is this just of that workforce is strike action. is this just a of that workforce is strike action . is this just a shameless action. is this just a shameless attempt ? use homeless people attempt? use homeless people freezing to death on the streets to try to bring down a tory government? well if my if you were paying rent in london 15% increase i don't think i don't think you'd just answer the question to me what so. so the
4:58 pm
question to me what so. so the question seems to be just an attack on you know and like. i'm not any relevance to the labour party whatsoever . this is simply party whatsoever. this is simply about the workforce who are very and fairly low paid and they can't afford to you know what i read testimonials that the icasa's service to the to the management about young families with with young children with the heating off. it's not just about the cost of rent going up. it's about the fact that the landlords got all the power. right. so it's about insecurity. and so you pay rent. you'll understand that . i mean, it is understand that. i mean, it is ironic that for charities deaung ironic that for charities dealing with homelessness, you do appear to be attacking landlords as well. but there we go. peter storey, thank you very much. you know, much. no, no. you know, you remember what just remember literally what you just said go anyway. said it. there you go anyway. right will meet patrick right you will meet patrick christys coming up. christys on gb news coming up. the home secretary says that
4:59 pm

5:10 pm
processing centres , a new human processing centres, a new human rights law. yes, those just some of the recommendations and a new report. you'd be forgiven for thinking that you've got deja vu where it's groundhog day. this is a new report which focuses on how we can crack down on the channel migrant crisis. we are just stuff over just saying the same stuff over and only an i and over again along only an i foreword, the home secretary pledged whatever takes , pledged do whatever it takes, reduce making the reduce the numbers, making the illegal the illegal crossing. the publication centre of publication from the centre of policy studies think tank also recommends stopping those who enter the country illegally settling in the uk. i mean , that settling in the uk. i mean, that would be a nice touch, wouldn't it? may i just shock you all? perhaps this isn't too shocking to . announce to you anyway that to. announce to you anyway that we have officially a two we now have officially a two tier asylum system in the uk. so perhaps you would think that maybe we weren't secure enough when it comes to what's going on in the channel. well, you might be shocked to know that afghans and eritreans are being largely waved with strict waved through with strict security checks the tune of 98% of applicants asylum into the uk. because we're so overwhelmed
5:11 pm
they're going to afghanistan. syria eritrea will wave you through with minimum threats. now forgive me, but and syria are two countries that traditionally have not meant particularly well in the past. and now apparently they are being through. how does that make feel? it comes as make you feel? it also comes as a hotel, right was given 55 hours notice that they had to house eight asylum seekers. that's the third asylum seeker hotel and more commonly is now bordering as well. meanwhile, the of housing at lancaster council has written to the home office to express his anger that the local authority were given just 15 hours notice of those migrants. but also the fact and i think this is important it's about time somebody said it that conflict inevitable . and it conflict is inevitable. and it is, isn't it? if you using britain as just a plot land that is a dumping ground , a is a dumping ground, a multicultural melting pot without any provision on how we're going to deal with this or any consent from communities or the public. it is matter of the public. it is a matter of time it kicks right off. time before it kicks right off. earlier i spoke to the
5:12 pm
conservative mp for the area, david, me what he david, who told me what he wanted from the wanted to actually see from the home office . but if you look at home office. but if you look at what the immigration minister wants to do and the secretary of , the home secretary, small to amend certain laws that we've already got and i that's the best way ahead the thing that we have to start to do is start to deport people who are coming across here illegally as quick as possible and not have all the legal back load, shall we say. that slows it up. well, today's report also calls for changes to the human rights laws and for britain to withdraw from the european convention on human rights, again , we rights, which, again, we have heard times before , but heard many times before, but we've absolutely no progress we've had absolutely no progress on it. it's like we're wading through treacle. let's now through treacle. let's talk now to barrister rebecca butler. rebecca, thank you much. rebecca, thank you very much. great you on the show. great to have you on the show. a massive concern for people, numerous different fronts. the numbers 50,000 numbers continue to rise. 50,000 people predicted have made people predicted to have made their channel their way across the channel by their way across the channel by the of as we the end of this year. of as we understand it, 33,000 are at least claiming to be from afghanistan, syria or eritrea .
5:13 pm
afghanistan, syria or eritrea. 98% of those have just been granted asylum. have those people processed far? yeah. people a right to be concerned about public safety in terms of us actually pulling out of the job, what would have to happen in order for us to do that? because i'm just deeply sceptical will happen. well sceptical it will happen. well we'd have to unravel the whole brexit deal . first start. brexit deal. first start. wonderful politicians negotiate us into law and to remain there dunng us into law and to remain there during the brexit, withdraw negotiations . so withdrawing negotiations. so withdrawing from all, i'm afraid is it's a complete lie. if anybody says they're going to do that. what they're going to do that. what they could as a as a stab is repeal the human rights act because that that doesn't remove us from h.r. but what it does is it human , right? so arguments at it human, right? so arguments at all levels, of course . does that all levels, of course. does that include. yeah, sorry to interrupt. i think you might have just hit on exactly a point
5:14 pm
i want to make, which does not include like this modern slavery law, is, as far i can law, which is, as far as i can tell, lunacy. somebody can willingly individual or willingly pay an individual or thousands order to thousands of pounds in order to transport britain somewhere transport britain to somewhere like expensive uber and like a very expensive uber and then dropped the exact then be dropped off in the exact destination. wanted to be destination. they wanted to be dropped that they dropped off and then that they were here against their were brought here against their will. involved in will. is that involved in the in the human well, that's the human rights? well, that's actually not a human rights point. as a matter fact, that's inevitable. it's factual point that's tribunal that's raised at the tribunal level and know, as i'm sure you know, patrick, your viewers would be interested to know that an asylum claim is harder to prove evidentially than modern slavery claim. so this is why people who are not coming from countries where they are seeking asylum , i'm talking albania and asylum, i'm talking albania and specifically here they claim modern slavery because the evidential burden is significantly lower than claiming asylum, which a claim doomed to fail anyway from albania. but you know, you
5:15 pm
talked about afghanistan . asylum talked about afghanistan. asylum seekers . well we do have a safe seekers. well we do have a safe legal route . afghan afghan legal route. afghan afghan asylum seekers into uk. so i think they need to taken out of the narrative . but syria and the narrative. but syria and eritrea , those people would have eritrea, those people would have to prove an asylum . and i would to prove an asylum. and i would have thought the burden on that wouldn't be too high. the current problem we have is with people trafficking across the channel from albanian coming through the schengen area entirely legally because they do have a visa arrangement with the eu. now between albania and the eu. now between albania and the eu they come all the way across . and rather than jumping an aeroplane where they know they're going to get stopped and challenged , they will just come challenged, they will just come over on the dinghy and then come in through that illegal route. now the national borders act said as of january, all arrivals coming through illegal routes
5:16 pm
will be prosecuted and there hasn't been a single . and the hasn't been a single. and the prospect there being a prosecution also . rebecca, let prosecution also. rebecca, let me just let me just stop you there again because i don't want to get lost in the aether actually when we talk about this. so we have said have we people coming through people coming here through illegal routes will be prosecuted . and have had prosecuted. and we have had a record year of people crossing the channel and yet, as you've just revealed here, not a single person has been prosecuted . person has been prosecuted. yeah, i mean, but the government that makes a lot of noise and doing whatever it takes i've heard that so many times now . heard that so many times now. yes. the same government hands over 150 million a year to the charities who support people to undermine our system . so, you undermine our system. so, you know it what we're looking at is politicians who say that they will do whatever it takes but they actually zero intention of
5:17 pm
doing it takes. first of all the brexit withdrawal deal will fall apart if we pull out of pulling out of was never in boris johnson's but it was in both david cameron's theresa may's manifesto so . 20 ten 2015 2770. manifesto so. 20 ten 2015 2770. we always had a commitment to leaving . boris johnson was leaving. boris johnson was silent on it. boris johnson wasted massive capital, massive parliamentary majority . now parliamentary majority. now rishi sunak is left in a situation where politically i don't think he can actually anything because keir starmer will literally stymie him on every attempt to rid of hra , every attempt to rid of hra, which is as will recall, tony flight childcare costs . yeah, flight childcare costs. yeah, yeah, yeah. the roots of the roots of a lot of things. now
5:18 pm
again, i mean, i think it's about time. rebecca that you had your own show here. so chris steward i'm quite inclined. just step aside the floor to step aside and give the floor to you, but taken words out of you, but taken the words out of my when it comes to all of my mouth when it comes to all of this talking tough, i was dazzled this morning. i woke up to reports on my phone, a new come just has the same come out. she just has the same tartan that we've heard. tartan guff that we've heard. millions the millions of times before. the home secretary this attack, she turns says exactly same turns up, says exactly same stuff. do whatever it stuff. yeah, i'll do whatever it takes. but actually, from your legal expertise , you really legal expertise, you really don't think that there's any intention whatsoever to do anything. so in order to take that to its natural conclusion, we're all being lied to. we know well that you know they've got a nationality and borders 1922, 20, 22. beg your pardon? they haven't implemented the regulation hasn't in place. we've had a piecemeal implementation which by the way isn't unusual, but it is on the statute book . home office statute book. home office because of absence of political
5:19 pm
pressure, hasn't actually fully implemented it. we also a system where charities are being funded to act against the government and that is taxpayers being asked to fund those charities . asked to fund those charities. it's very much against their will. if you read twitter and facebook, as you and i do , you facebook, as you and i do, you then have a 2.1 billion asylum industry in the uk, which is hotel owns the legal aid bills . hotel owns the legal aid bills. the lawyers that represent people through the system and a government that refuse this to change the law but prefers to blame the lawyers so they call me a lefty lawyer exactly when i represent an immigrant but they write the law all i do is represent somebody in court and i'll tell what you don't want an alternate of people representing themselves you know that as a lawyer. but you know, we do need to represent through the courts. otherwise it would be it is a shambolic approach to everything
5:20 pm
. and we don't think people some in court is desperately but anybody who says we'll do whatever it takes , you'll lose whatever it takes, you'll lose your whole brexit , the whole your whole brexit, the whole withdrawal deal will disappear if you do . no, it's fascinating if you do. no, it's fascinating stuff. rebecca, thank very, very much. rebecca butler, that who is a barrister is justice guessing well. but let's be honest, the latest guff when it comes to immigration system, one thing that i'm going to do, i'm sure she's of turn me on to something that which is the about taxpayers funding the charity are basically charity is that are basically helping we're trying helping stifle what we're trying to the channel and i think to stop the channel and i think that it's worth an investigation so i suspect that later in the week, ladies and gentlemen, we will something that will try to bring something that to here on this to you here right, here on this particular we're going particular show. but we're going to from the migrant to step away from the migrant crisis for a second. i mean, get these in thick and fast. these coming in thick and fast. gbp news dot uk. a lot gbp is a gb news dot uk. a lot of people up in arms when of people are up in arms when it's to i mean, it's it's come to this. i mean, it's emerged from a barrister that we have actually have zero intention, it would appear politically anything politically of doing anything about. all of this
5:21 pm
gbviews@gbnews.uk but your firm also philip the old firm as far as wrap up warned because are expected drastically expected to drop drastically after wednesday a after wednesday night's a weather system dubbed no that the troll from who comes fault when someone calls a hurricane alan isn't it anyway the troll from trondheim is on the way. the met office has issued a level three amber alert for severe cold weather in england and it has warned of a risk to elderly and vulnerable people. of course, whilst my sympathies go towards elderly and, vulnerable and vulnerable people indeed. and with cost of living crisis with the cost of living crisis as well, i completely acknowledge people are struggling heating struggling to pay their heating . in the uk every . but we do live in the uk every single year in winter it gets chilly and it amazes me when you see pictures of like see those pictures of like norwegian shovelling snow or just getting school public transport, running . and over transport, running. and over here we've got like, oh, it's snowing little bit and snowing a little bit and everything down. well, everything shuts down. well, when comes to weather , quite when it comes to weather, quite pathetic. joins now. pathetic. jim dale joins now. he's a senior meteorologist with the british weather services. jim, thank much, right?
5:22 pm
jim, thank you very much, right? okay. so it's going to get a bit chilly this winter it. and chilly this winter is it. and we're going to be able to we're not going to be able to handle it. we don't usually until do we know? let's face it. and by the way, i am troll and by the way, i am the troll man. it it was my little, man. it was it was my little, little name for the little name there for the trends. where the good trends. that's where the good systems it's the beast systems from. it's not the beast from east . are we going to from the east. are we going to handle it. i'll you what the first thing to say is this is this is a long one? this is a this is a long one? this is a this isn't this comes in tomorrow in northern scotland and very move its way and it will very move its way south during course of wednesday and thursday . by the time we get and thursday. by the time we get to friday, we'll be all in it. and it is very much over air. so behind the polar front is going south towards spain for a change and yet there's going to be snow packing in, particularly in the north to begin with. but think in time, i'm talking time going on for 14 days potentially ahead of christmas . the ice is going of christmas. the ice is going to get there . well, in a way, it to get there. well, in a way, it almost renders rail strikes null and void, doesn't it? because it coincided with a period of time when have
5:23 pm
when they possibly would have cancelled service cancelled the whole service anyway. but can i ask shamelessly using my platform on a service to just a national news service to just further my own interests? jim i was to flying to was supposed to be flying to aberdeen saturday. is there aberdeen on saturday. is there any i will that ? you any chance i will get that? you you're flying from heathrow . you're flying from heathrow. yeah. or luton? yeah heathrow. yeah. or luton? yeah heathrow. yeah. you'll fly off. okay whether you actually london is another question . i think you another question. i think you probably will to be with you, but not underscore this but that's not underscore this one. there's going to be a lot of people out there particularly the period and wannabe the christmas period and wannabe who it's nice have the who i know it's nice have the snow occasionally for and a couple of three days but that's going to be that's going to be a lot of snow that's going to last for fortnight and more for a fortnight and more potentially into that christmas spirit. and there people out spirit. and there are people out there going to struggle there who are going to struggle to been to the least. so we've been putting out the last two putting out for the last two weeks, to be honest, you, that this and the this was coming and the difficulties that this brings in terms of in terms of motor motor problems, you know, you cannot starting getting to the shops you know, an awful lot of people
5:24 pm
struggle when there's ice snow on the road. and believe me , on the road. and believe me, believe me, this will become if it's not going to be the number one story, then it'll certainly up there amongst it in this next fortnight. well, look, look, absolutely . fortnight. well, look, look, absolutely. i'm fortnight. well, look, look, absolutely . i'm trying to absolutely. i'm not trying to diminish. there a diminish. i mean, there is a slightly to which is slightly element to it, which is that seem cripple whenever that we do seem cripple whenever we half an inch of snow or we have half an inch of snow or anything like that. so on on a serious on a serious now serious note, on a serious now i do especially in the cost of living crisis people be struggling vulnerable, the struggling the vulnerable, the elderly elderly, the homeless as well. me started on well. don't get me started on the shouts are going the fact that shouts are going on this rubbish. on strike often of this rubbish. but anyway, how cold are we expecting to get? i know it's almost across almost difficult to say across the but just give us some. the uk, but just give us some. give us something to cling onto where to be a where colds are going to be a time goes on. let just say time goes on. let me just say it. probably the teeth of it will be in the highlands and grampians and i think. we will see like —50, —16 in see figures like —50, —16 in time that will unravel but even down into say central southern england or towards say the bristol area, i think we can see —67. it's that of thing. i think
5:25 pm
mostly the coasts are always tending to be a little bit less cold. so minus ones, zeros that of thing. but for most people and especially in the frost lows. yeah, we're going to unravel and we're going to see those minus five quite comfortably . and as i've comfortably. and as i've mentioned, scotland , scotland mentioned, scotland, scotland particularly the glens down into those silly temperatures that you normally see where the trolls live, where the shot of lovely stuff jim thank very much and i apologise for poking fun at your troll from trondheim thing of course but i know that was your invention i would never assume. thank you very much. it's you see the meteorologist at the british weather service says another guest who will says yes. another guest who will never show. you what never back on my show. you what we patrick christys gb we mean. patrick christys gb news. coming oil prices have news. coming up, oil prices have risen . see risen this morning. could see petrol diesel prices rise petrol and diesel prices rise even in the days ahead. our even more in the days ahead. our economic and business editor liam halligan the details. he'll be joining soon and harry be joining me soon and harry and meghan, they've a new trailer for their netflix . they've gone for their netflix. they've gone heavy on racism. they're probably going to go heavy on the and they've certainly
5:26 pm
5:29 pm
yes. welcome back, everybody. now the confederate of british industry says the uk economy will shrink next year. gdp falling nought point percent. meanwhile, the government is set to launch a review to prevent firms being ripped off by larger companies. and this morning, oil pnces companies. and this morning, oil prices have spiked, rising almost 2, which could see petrol and diesel prices rise even more the days ahead. so it's stop. good news , ladies and gentlemen, good news, ladies and gentlemen, to make sense all of this. and hopefully, hopefully find some kind of glimmer of hope in this unrelenting darkness is our
5:30 pm
economic and business editor. with all the money money . liam with all the money money. liam chemie up . these are tough times chemie up. these are tough times , patrick, i must say. having said , look, the good news is said, look, the good news is that the cbi represents 190,000 companies. they're saying next year we're going to the economy is going to contract by nought point 4, whereas the obi are the official forecaster says it's going to by 1.4. so a bit better than we thought . if you believe than we thought. if you believe the business leaders as opposed to the whitehall boffins at the same time next year 23 unemployment's going to go up from 3.6% to 5, say the cbi . but from 3.6% to 5, say the cbi. but if that is the peak that be the lowest peak in unemployment decades. so you know, it really is swings around about and inflation. there is good news inflation. there is good news inflation the cost of living. the is saying whereas inflation 11.1% this year then it's to go
5:31 pm
down to 6.5% next year. so again it's not great. these are tough economic times. all gb news viewers and listeners can feel it . everyone in the newsroom it. everyone in the newsroom here in gb news can feel it. but according to the cbi, these forecasts are brighter , less forecasts are brighter, less worrying than the obvious forecasts that came out at the time of that autumn statement last month. i put a positive gloss on. you have to guess how we compare on the international stage because i quite often get mps to go or people from various different groups saying to me, oh look, you know, we're all one of the lowest in the g20, whatever. and i always wonder, well, how are we doing compared to our international we're middle of the pack now in terms of our growth in 2022. that's to be higher than other g7 countries. but then all of our lockdown was deeper than other g7 countries and we lost more output during lockdown. and another bit good news is this.
5:32 pm
well, i hope it's good news. many, many people listening, watching will work for small businesses. they'll maybe run a small everyone knows that in the small everyone knows that in the small business sector , a real small business sector, a real bone of contention is late payment. when big companies are eu money and they don't pay you. and what happens, patrick, when inflation high as it is now , inflation high as it is now, late payment becomes endemic . if late payment becomes endemic. if i'm a big company or a small company and i owe you a hundred quid, for instance, then i'll wait as long as i can. if i'm being unscrupulous. by the time i give you that 100 quid, two or three months late, it's worth lot less. right. and i could have 100 quid to spend something, so don't. so you something, so i don't. so you the inflation rather than make it mean and why hold knows that this happens . civil servants and this happens. civil servants and politicians know that there's happened.so politicians know that there's happened. so the government over the weekend it formally the weekend it was formally announced morning they've announced this morning they've launched this review late payment trying to encourage firms to basically play the game with smaller firms and don't
5:33 pm

5:39 pm
listening to as we had keir starmer on before . we had a bit starmer on before. we had a bit of gordon didn't we. yes of gordon brown didn't we. yes still alive and we were told, okay, we've got to be constitutional reform, we're going abolish house of going to abolish the house of lords, do our lords, we're going to do our best bring it all out to the best to bring it all out to the regions. but does it all regions. yeah, but does it all really mean is it all guff? political consultants strategist peter me in the peter burrows joins me in the studio. is it just guff. studio. peter, is it just guff. pretty much right. keir starmer obviously got up there and promises the and the promises the world end. and the reality there's no actual reality is there's no actual plan it. this keir plan behind it. this keir starmer kind of go too at the starmer is kind of go too at the moment lots of things moment say lots of things and i hope nobody hold him accountable for it. if you look some of for it. if you look at some of the he wants to move the plans, he wants to move 50,000 servants of 50,000 civil servants out of london. like a great london. sounds like a great idea, people wouldn't idea, but most people wouldn't remotely so it doesn't remotely anyway, so it doesn't make a difference. true. make a difference. that's true. you know, of the most you know, one of the most interesting aspects the interesting aspects of the actual was it kind actual speech was within it kind of tucked away of tucked out, tucked away nicely wants somehow nicely was he wants to somehow involve parliament involve the scottish parliament international treaties? yeah. how that's going i have how that's going to work, i have no idea. so this is the fundamental problem. he's a lot there's no plan it. it seems a little populist just, know,
5:40 pm
little populist just, you know, keep onside . i just keep the base onside. i just hope hold accountable hope nobody hold him accountable or difficult or ask of the difficult questions. but is i'm questions. but it is fast. i'm glad raised this the glad he raised this about the idea that the scottish government essentially would now be international be involved in international treaties. whole treaties. i mean, the whole process moment the house process at moment with the house of is some that it's of lords is some argue that it's democracy, it slows things democracy, that it slows things down. i fail to see some form of presumably elected regional based chamber given the fact that we are quite divided as the united kingdom the moment. how would that not stifle political process in this country? oh, it but there's point between and but there's a point between and just saying, wait a minute, let's slow down. that's the kind of purpose of the house of lords since his reforms. it's since his set of reforms. it's just of said just to be a double check on everything, make sure, everything's right because everything's quite right because it's supposed be out of the political sphere and out of political sphere and out of political it's political influence. it's supposed bit more supposed to be a little bit more independent. have independent. the problem we have is full of is it's been packed full of former politicos. well, this is it. yeah, i'm glad you brought me look, it's one of the me on. look, it's one of the issues. the house lords. issues. the house of lords. i normally to have quite a normally like to have quite a strong everything, strong views on everything, whether right is
5:41 pm
whether or not that right is another question. normally another question. but i normally have quite strong have a lot to have quite strong views in. the house of lords is one that i've got to be honest with you. i'm i'm divided on. i can the fundamental of can see the fundamental point of it i can also see people on the take falling asleep the sofas and you feel about it and and how do you feel about it and its form is it just its current form is it just stacked full people? frankly, stacked full of people? frankly, there's for them to there's no need for them to be there. yeah, much. yeah, there. yeah, pretty much. yeah, there's an old there's pretty much an old saying politics that the saying in politics that the house of lords has the most expensive care centre in the expensive day care centre in the world. the reality is world. but the reality is average. people average. there are some people in that do some amazing in there that do some amazing work realistically they were work and realistically they were putting it forward to the electorate or. got caught electorate or. they got caught up political machine that up in the political machine that those lost. those expertise would be lost. what need, instead of what we really need, instead of just throwing baby out the just throwing baby out with the bathwater actual reform. the bathwater is actual reform. the blair i know, blair reforms. what? i know, professor used to call constitutional terrorism. i didn't far enough and it didn't really far enough and it kind of led to us led us to where we are when it comes to kind of people feel about the house of lords. i think over the brexit the kind of chaos i think a lot people fell of love a lot of people fell of love with house of lords because
5:42 pm
with the house of lords because they were the ones that kind of blocking lot this. they blocking a lot of this. they were ping pong with were playing ping pong with democracy. it democracy. yes you know it happens with couple of other happens with a couple of other bills yeah, i can bills things and yeah, i can understand frustrated understand people get frustrated with if we did with it. but again, if we did remove the kind of political element of it rather than more politics there's an politics to it, there's an argument be more argument that it could be more useful is now, it's not useful than it is now, it's not just full of load of old just full of a load of old duffers on. the take. no, no, not mainly no that they'll get there. there are people in there. there are some people in that have the that you still have the hereditary we set the hereditary peers. we set up the base. know are still base. you know there are still some issues with who makes up the of lords. that's what the house of lords. that's what we be tackling, just we should be tackling, not just get getting rid of get rid of not getting rid of the whole thing. and another element is that element to this which is that keir well whether or not keir starmer well whether or not is policy is up for debate because is it's just a of because is it's just a lot of words without a huge of substance, least it's substance, but at least it's something while he something because for a while he was i said before, so was just as i said before, so wooden, the birds nesting wooden, the birds are nesting them couldn't glean any them and i couldn't glean any kind policy out of him kind of policy out of him whatsoever. but it's interesting for he's got gordon for me that he's got gordon brown involved. was brown involved. there was talk at while of david at least a little while of david miliband going. i mean, he's
5:43 pm
this kind of like blair 2.0. is he bringing up it's not he just bringing up it's not exactly new labour. his old laboun exactly new labour. his old labour, well, pretty labour, is it? well, pretty much because been because even alexander it's been rumoured his old seat rumoured he wants his old seat back. is interesting they back. so it is interesting they try the band back try to get the band back together again, but if was together again, but if i was a labour party member i'd be asking where you asking well. where were you dunng asking well. where were you during years under during the hard years under corbyn? they'd to opt corbyn? they'd seem to opt and run you know got nice run and you know to got nice cushy nice big salaries cushy earning nice big salaries and they back in. so and now they want back in. so i'd asking those kind of i'd be asking those kind of questions but yeah when it comes to of getting gordon brown to kind of getting gordon brown involved, all felt involved, he was they all felt of rather report. is of this rather report. it is a big chunky document, but yeah he was there. kind of was sat there. it did kind of look take your son to work look like take your son to work of situation i know whether it was a good idea having gordon brown there from kind brown sat there from a kind of visual perspective it's visual perspective but yeah it's it the old figures are it is how the old figures are starting creep in. yes, starting to creep back in. yes, it is indeed. peter you very much. thoroughly this. much. i thoroughly enjoy this. let's get you back on very, very soon. that was, course, the soon. that was, of course, the wonderful barnes, our wonderful peter barnes, our political just picking to what i think agree now as a think we can all agree now as a result of what peter has just insightfully us. insightfully explained to us. guff anyway
5:44 pm
guff from keir starmer. anyway that consultant that was political consultant and strategist pete spells joining studio. right joining me in the studio. right moving on now because home secretary, home has made secretary, the home has made it very, that she agree very, very clear that she agree with of the proposals. new with all of the proposals. a new report crack down channel report to crack down on channel migrant this migrant crises. well this is despite writing foreword it, despite writing the foreword it, which sums up exactly which i think sums up exactly where the recommendation where are. the recommendation came policy came from the centre for policy studies and included studies and it included introducing stopping introducing id. cards stopping those country those who enter the country illegally settling in illegally from settling in the uk offshore to uk more offshore centres to process however, process migrants did, however, pledge to do whatever it takes to them as the. i'm not to reduce them as the. i'm not even finish this even going to finish this because i'm absolutely blown sick all are sick of and i'm sure you all are as have a new report as well. we have a new report that literally proposes exactly the same things that people have been for years the been saying for years with the home saying she home secretary saying that she will do all it takes to do what she's been saying, that she'll do takes it to for do all it takes it to do for years. this comes about something you see lot something that you see a lot less prominently the media, less prominently in the media, 98% of afghan syrians and eritreans who apparently across the channel this is according to the channel this is according to the times, have been granted asylum in this country with stripped security check. stripped back security check. because you've got such a big
5:45 pm
backlog . that also includes 87% backlog. that also includes 87% of the sudanese and 82% of the iranians. we now have essentially a two tier asylum system where because our backlog is so large, we are well not far off waving. people through. and in some constituencies in some constituencies, as result of this massive backlog, you are ending up with not one, not two, but three asylum seeker hotels at cost to the taxpayer. and in the case of one in lancaster just three more commonly used olaf scholz say lancaster they were given 15 hours notice to house 80 asylum seekers absolutely bonkers, joining me now is politico household name norma baker. norman thank you very much and it's good to see you dressed for the occasion as well as i think i have pulled the tire off but it's fantastic. and look, the fact is that we are dealing now with a load of utter utter guff. and i would say the 8% figure of afghan say that the 8% figure of afghan and syrians and eritrean being wave through any wave through without any security should be the security checks should be the top story are not the fact that
5:46 pm
a report has come out from the centre for policy studies, which is asking us to just do the things we've been asking to things that we've been asking to do years. think the do for years. well, i think the thing that sorry should be why should the huge backlog that's the story because of your logic is that over the years the home office has failed to come up with any system which processes people quickly . i mean, the people quickly. i mean, the system is processed people quickly to determine who eligible for refugee status and who isn't. that would solve the problem the problem we've got such a backlog here two months years . yeah. but the reality is years. yeah. but the reality is the way that we now trying to handle the backlog is to do security checks on people from , security checks on people from, countries that we've been at war with like with for. however long, like afghanistan, example . okay, afghanistan, for example. okay, alright. as well . loads of alright. syria as well. loads of british citizens went syria , british citizens went to syria, join isis, eritrea alright, yeah, fine. we're not a huge to do with sudan, iran exactly wish as well. and our response to this the bright sparks in downing street or in westminster or wherever gone. well
5:47 pm
or wherever we've gone. well actually fewer actually we'll just do fewer security on this lot. security checks on this lot. well i don't agree with fewer security checks but also to say to that will not at war to you that will not be at war with the probably who are with the people probably who are coming who are coming here. the people who are coming here. the people who are coming may well be coming here often may well be the who are being the people who are being persecuted by the ghastly regimes those countries . persecuted by the ghastly regimes those countries. but regimes in those countries. but look, look at the figures look, if you look at the figures before we actually see these things up, but i don't agree with what you just been telling me. that good idea. it's me. that is a good idea. it's not a good idea to evade security checks. most people from those countries, we're actually and, deemed to actually assessed and, deemed to be genuine refugee , just that be genuine refugee, just that people are not genuine to those who are coming in for economic reasons which are predominantly the countries you listed. albania what we should be doing is identify and very quickly those who are coming here without reason and get the without due reason and get the respect of their country. that's part of the answer , norman. i've part of the answer, norman. i've got to i've got to i've got to cut it. unfortunately, apparently the audio is not particularly , but i can hear you particularly, but i can hear you clever enough. norman baker, that a former home office
5:48 pm
minister for it's he minister for what it's worth, he was talking absolute sense. no, but to you back on but i'll have to get you back on very, soon. what do you very, very soon. what do you think about these reports, of course, that coming to too course, that are coming to too is i say that is now can i just say that people may well get heads people may well get that heads a bit lost this idea. the sense bit lost in this idea. the sense a policy of releases a policy series of releases a report that says that okay we have more offshore processing i should deals with the should do more deals with the likes rwanda. should get likes of rwanda. we should get out uk and should not out of the uk and should not allow to if they allow people to remain if they get illegally. this is not get here illegally. this is not new saying the facts new deal to me saying the facts have blocked from doing it. have been blocked from doing it. we then home secretary blessed suella braverman who think suella braverman who how i think probably place probably is in right place coming saying she'll do coming out and saying she'll do everything that we can. well, the result that she can't do the result is that she can't do that country. so back that large country. and so back where we started, i think the meantime is emerge. we essentially believe essentially and i can't believe i'm we essentially i'm saying this we essentially have policy with have an open border policy with afghanistan, syria eritrea afghanistan, syria and eritrea gb news gb news don't uk is a two tier asylum system and the hotel situation is getting even , including in the face of people of morecambe and loons, dale . they want an asylum seeker

5:53 pm
abouti i've got to be really honest about i didn't realise she was black until she told us so what does the man who used to be responsible royal family responsible for the royal family actually am joined by actually think? i am joined by danny the head of danny davies, the former head of security. danny mean, was security. danny i mean, was was that was the issue that meghan wasn't enough in her view , wasn't enough in her view, anything to do with race was the royal family's not protecting. meghan markle the grounds of her race ? absolutely not. she has , race? absolutely not. she has, we know, talked a load of nonsense . they were protected nonsense. they were protected and would be protected if they were still carrying out the functions of a senior members , functions of a senior members, the royal family. you're correspondents used the word constitutional terrorists . well, constitutional terrorists. well, i'm afraid i'm going to apply label to harry and meghan . what label to harry and meghan. what on earth are they trying do? what is their motive ? is it to what is their motive? is it to destroy the house of windsor a, aided and abetted by so many i have to say, left with a left wing commentators, i spent all week defending hussy your
5:54 pm
colleague. none of it a far better job than i did in betterjob than i did in destroying what nonsense ? she destroying what nonsense? she was brilliant and i agreed every word. and i tried and virtually said the same. but she has her power far more than i do. no, i saddened that it's come to , you saddened that it's come to, you know, a few months ago . we were know, a few months ago. we were lauding her majesty the queen and also king charles and the queen consort. what on earth, other than perhaps the money, what is his motive ? what is he? what is his motive? what is he? oh, come on. just let's drill down on this. let's drill down on this mean. what do you think his motive, because they're all concerned. certainly as i can see, i just have to look him in the eyes and i honestly wonder if mentally ill, whereas if he's mentally ill, whereas a former and still an investigator across the world, i'm just amazed. i don't other than this huge reward , lord, i mean, i'm huge reward, lord, i mean, i'm reminded this time of year about jesus and he was betrayed for 20 aspects of gold by judas . i
