good evening. tonight on average would make laurence fox as the days get colder , the tories get days get colder, the tories get weaker with u—turn after u—turn, this time with . prime minister this time with. prime minister rasheed snow as joe biden golfing says we can have onshore wind farms rolling it out in the summer . we'll have a debate on summer. we'll have a debate on that as the winter days get colder and colder and energy bills get higher and higher. we'll also talk about the latest on the albanians coming over illegally to the uk, you know, the ones suffering. so much in that lovely destination

that lovely tourist destination , having to pay five , they're having to pay five grand to come over here by boat. and my talking pints guest is carpenter by day, tv star by night . but first, the news with night. but first, the news with tatiana sanchez . thank you, tatiana sanchez. thank you, lauren. this is the latest from the gb newsroom levelling up. secretary michael gove has planning permission for a new coal mine in cumbria. planning permission for a new coal mine in cumbria . the plan coal mine in cumbria. the plan has been recommended by the independent planning inspector . independent planning inspector. it's the first coal mine in the country for 30 is the government's says the coal will be used for the production of steel and not for power generation. friends of the earth described it as an appalling decision that will damage the fight against the climate crisis . travellers are being warned to expect cancellations and delays around christmas as strikes at a number of airports are set to cause major disruption. the pubuc cause major disruption. the public and commercial services

union says around 2000 border force workers will walk out over the festive period . the union the festive period. the union announced its members working at gatwick heathrow , manchester, gatwick heathrow, manchester, birmingham and cardiff airports will strike for eight days from december the 23rd until new year's eve in a row over pay drops and conditions. the rmt union says a resolution to the ongoing strikes are further away due to what calls a late intervention by the government. the comments come amid a wave of strikes across a number of pubuc strikes across a number of public sectors. the unite union earlier criticised the prime minister after he promised new tough laws to limit the impact of strike action . ambulance of strike action. ambulance staff will strike in a dispute over pay and conditions as well. nurses, teachers and rail workers are due to take action in the coming weeks. labour leader sir keir starmer has accused mr. sunak of not doing enough to resolve the industrial action . this morning his action. this morning his transport secretary said his flagship legislation on strikes.

this is what he said. this morning. his transport secretary might want to listen to. this is clearly is clearly not going to help with the industrial action we're facing. he should stop grandstanding, stop on his hands, get round the table and resolve these issues. the government has been reasonable. it's accepted the recommendations of an independent pay body, giving pay rises in many cases higher than the private sector. but if the union leaders to continue to be unreasonable, then it is my duty to take action to the lives and livelihoods of the british public. and that's , mr. speaker, public. and that's, mr. speaker, since i became prime minister, i have been working for new tough laws to protect people from this disruption . former health disruption. former health secretary matt hancock has announced he will not stand again at the next general election. in a letter to the prime minister, he said he was proud of his nine years in government making reference to the uk having the first covid

vaccine in the world to online and dab+ radio . this is gb news and dab+ radio. this is gb news now it's back to ferrari with laurence fox . laurence fox. hi hi. rishi sunak's recent statements and u—turns are starting to make one feel he has a similar relationship with the truth. as whoever made the trailer for harry and meghan's soon to be royal soon to be released, royal victim fest netflix . during victim fest on netflix. during the leadership debate , he the leadership debate, he categorically stated that he would not sanction the erection of any more onshore wind turbines. take a look at this in august. onshore wind, forgive yes or no.7 no august. onshore wind, forgive yes or no? no but it seems he's had a change of heart, as he often does . so you can look often does. so you can look forward to seeing many more of these ugly, unreliable and unruly, likeable ducks jumping bad slicing, eco crucifixes . as

bad slicing, eco crucifixes. as a good friend of mine calls them , ruining the view from your kitchen window in future blades, turning lazily in the breeze . turning lazily in the breeze. perhaps it would have been better if we hadn't had that other change of heart. you know the one when he said he wasn't going to 27 because he had pressing domestic concerns but go did and he gave a speech go he did and he gave a speech full of right on eco shikari , full of right on eco shikari, the great and the good whose private jets ticking over with the aircon on at cairo international airport . i international airport. i understand why rishi went to cop after all these cables . summits after all these cables. summits are completely anti—democratic . are completely anti—democratic. voters have no say in what harebrained schemes are going to be foisted on them next. the court meetings completely bypass the democratic system. that's the democratic system. that's the point. keep the plebs out of it. exactly like when they got rid of prime minister truss for having the temerity to attempt to actual conservatism and installed chairman rishi in i place . rishi also went to place. rishi also went to america this week to buy some fracked gas of president joe biden just in case the wind

turbines and solar panels soon to carpet our country need a bit of a backup juice. i mean, makes perfect sense to me. why not? why frack your own gas ? if local why frack your own gas? if local communities support it wishes words, not mine , sitting right words, not mine, sitting right beneath our feet, ready to extracted to warm our homes and cook our food, providing us with years of cheap, clean energy. when you can bite of someone 4000 miles away and ship it across atlantic, warm the across the atlantic, warm the souls of the eco zealots happy in climate morality. in their climate morality. meanwhile, i create british jobs and british energy when you can offshore that as well . but it's offshore that as well. but it's not all bad news in the concession party. there was a very enjoyable home affairs select committee hearing , which select committee hearing, which i highly recommend watching. if you can drag yourself away from the harry and meghan documentary about and asylum with about migration and asylum with the ambassador to the the albanian ambassador to the uk cyril kosoko, who couldn't stop saying how safe and lovely albania was, which begs the question why so many risking life and limb to come here ? it

life and limb to come here? it was all going swimmingly until lee anderson, mp for ashfield, asked him why albanian men of a certain age opted to take the perilous journey by sea , crammed perilous journey by sea, crammed together in an unstable dinghy at the cost of several thousand pounds ahead , accidentally pounds ahead, accidentally dropping their mobile phones and anything which could identify them whatsoever over the side in them whatsoever over the side in the water, rather than the rough water, rather than paying the rough water, rather than paying just meagre the rough water, rather than paying just the meagr e £28 paying just the meagre £28 for a wizz air direct from wizz air flight direct from tirana london, and then claim tirana to london, and then claim asylum landed . lee asylum once landed. lee questioned whether it might just possibly have something to do with this continuing flood of migrants not wanting to appear on any uk government database or the ability to have their backgrounds checked in any meaningful way. but there is better news . in fact, the best better news. in fact, the best news i've heard all week. matt hancock has decided on a change of career . fresh from destroying of career. fresh from destroying our country our lives, our freedoms and turning a vast swathes of the population into guinea pigs. for his little

science experiment, he's decided politics isn't fame anymore, which is great. matt staying at home will definitely save lives if he so i'm asking you tonight , where should we get our energy from ? get in touch. email me. from? get in touch. email me. farage at gb news. uk or use hashtag farage on gb news. right so let's get on with the show . so let's get on with the show. well, some news announced in the last moments. levelling up. secretary michael gove has given planning permission for a new coal mine in cumbria. planning permission for a new coal mine in cumbria . the plan coal mine in cumbria. the plan has been recommended by the independent planning inspector . independent planning inspector. it's the first coal mine in the country with joining me country with years. joining me to discuss this is energy analyst andy meyer and director of climate media coalition, donna mccarthy . what do we think donna mccarthy. what do we think 7 donna mccarthy. what do we think ? new mine don't need to happen? sorry, i'm here as the climate columnist for the independent, but actually addressing your question, it's really packed news. it's like, wow, why are we going back to the 19th century

not never mind 20th century when we be investing in the we should be investing in the new or the new sweden its new energy or the new sweden its plough ahead with the coal free steel. that's where the new new economies are. and if we're going backwards , it's bad for going backwards, it's bad for britain. do we not have a am i wrong in thinking there's a little bit of a gap between renewables being able to fulfil the demands of energy, that philosophy is going to and so in the long run, tulloch is completely correct . the future completely correct. the future of the steel industry is based on electric power , but in the on electric power, but in the interim, we still have a steel industry that's using an awful lot of coking coal, which is the type of coal they're trying to mine in cumbria. so on that basis, it's a very simple choice. should we use the energy that's our feet or that's beneath our feet or should be imported from places around the world, some of which have far lower environmental standards we do and incur standards than we do and incur the emissions and the pollution associated the transport? associated with the transport? since we're not going to shut

down the steel industry tomorrow. we're not going to automatic it automatic actually transform it into future into this electric future instantly. then that's the choice presented . and in that in choice presented. and in that in that case, michael gove has made exactly the right choice today. so of we're all so we're sort of we're all agreeing that we want cleaner energy. i wouldn't agree that. i think probably what we where there is disagreement on is timing and think of what you have to say to the international energy agency. you know, one of the most respected energy consultants in the world says we cannot invest in any cannot afford to invest in any new fossil fuels, any fossil new fossil fuels, any new fossil fuels . we have plenty of coke fuels. we have plenty of coke and plenty of coal in existing mines to get us through the transition of these mines. but they are in britain, are in russia. they are in america. and just bringing . but isn't that just bringing. but isn't that bad for the climate ? it costs bad for the climate? it costs around between one and in co2 around between one and 2% in co2 emissions extra to do that. however what i am simply saying is invest in the old technology that we can't afford to use for the next 30 years rather than investing in new technologies

that we can and gives us a competitive advantage in internationally is the same thing to do. i think one of the things that and remain on the stand is the size and scale of what's been agreed today . it's what's been agreed today. it's 420 million tonnes of co2 . what 420 million tonnes of co2. what does that mean more than the entire british economy emits in a year. we'd have to turn off every single electric light and equipment in our homes, in every house in britain for 20 years before we actually cope with the same amount of co2 as this one decision. like it's a criminal decision. like it's a criminal decision . isn't co2 good? i'm decision. isn't co2 good? i'm sorry . i'm so terrible. isn't it sorry. i'm so terrible. isn't it good? co2 we got more polar bears i read today. good? co2 we got more polar bears i read today . polar bears bears i read today. polar bears are up to 25,014 thousand o bears i read today. polar bears are up to 25,014 thousand 0 co2 . brilliant. come on, lawrence . . brilliant. come on, lawrence. i'm asking if i was doing photosynthesis . school was photosynthesis. school was crucial . yes. yes. why are we? crucial. yes. yes. why are we? oxygen is crucial. but you don't want you. if you only have oxygen, you die. so we're talking with a mixture of gases.

the problem with c02 is we're having too much of it. yes, of course. it's essential for life . but we're emitting 1 million years, 1 million. this is a trivial argument. i mean, the decision here, you either produce it locally or you import it or you offshore your steel industry. so it's out of sight and out of mind. you were launched on the chinese government to tell you honestly how co2 that. and i don't how much co2 that. and i don't trust the chinese as much as i trust the chinese as much as i trust our own scientists and agencies model trust agencies to model this, trust our steel companies. agencies to model this, trust our steel companies . so the our own steel companies. so the steel this country steel companies in this country have backs against the have had their backs against the wall very time wall for a very long time because of energy costs. because of rising energy costs. so them to tell the so i trust them to tell the truth. yes, absolutely . and i truth. yes, absolutely. and i trust them to be investing in jobs in britain, rather than offshoring those jobs and claiming what crime, some claiming what we've crime, some moral by making people moral victory by making people poorer , colder and less able to poorer, colder and less able to afford the sort of goods we want in this country. steel companies have said this is not necessarily our own. british steel company said this mine is not necessary. 85% will be

exported to other countries, making it cheaper and. what we need to do is actually move to the new economy. i came here tonight by electric bike, powered by the sun , the day at powered by the sun, the day at night—time . we can do this. it's night—time. we can do this. it's exciting . and we can do it as exciting. and we can do it as britain. if you're it's a patriotic thing. if you want and it talks about recharge this solar powered bike in the canbbean solar powered bike in the caribbean in my home this new charger full battery on a bike when we've got the of daylight hours we've got as lunch time today i charged off my bike and i brought me here tonight no problem. so with an average day that 40% of that would have that is 40% of that would have come gas. so the only come from gas. so the only question there whether question there is whether the gas electric bike in gas for the electric bike in to the. only time i've the. the only time i've collected in the last year was on the way on on a holiday and i didn't have enough to bring me back. so i plugged it in the houday back. so i plugged it in the holiday home where i was 100. i'm on you. i know no one's totally perfect, lawrence. i tried to say whatever you got solar panels on the roof of your house? had them since house? yeah, i've had them since 98, but the battery this year is

good.i 98, but the battery this year is good. i like that is. this good. i like that this is. this goes very few people good. i like that this is. this goezactually very few people good. i like that this is. this goezactually affordy few people good. i like that this is. this goezactually afford to ew people good. i like that this is. this goezactually afford to do people good. i like that this is. this goezactually afford to do that. .e can actually afford to do that. this just how much they this is not just how much they look. doesn't change how much look. it doesn't change how much it costs. it costs look. it doesn't change how much it costs. it cost s £8,000 for a it costs. it costs £8,000 for a system. so your bike costs as much as the car? no. the third of the parts of the most people. and so what we're actually saying is that most rich people who subsidising this year who are subsidising this year the government, the subsidy rising energy , which is rising people's energy, which is fossil why aren't we fossil fuels, why aren't we requiring rich people to put in solar but it's a holiday solar panels? but it's a holiday in the sun for them because socialism, you can't just rip money off rich people. it's not. no, i'm retiring, you know, but also if force everybody to also, if you force everybody to install a certain of install a certain type of technology at the same time, all that happens is you create a huge problem the supply chain huge problem in the supply chain for power. you're for solar power. so you're installing of installing stuff that's out of date quickly rather than it date very quickly rather than it coming so that gets coming gradually so that it gets better over time. and then you're creating further problems and expense and loss of treasures might treasures that you might spend later better. bad later better. this is bad economics. try to force people to what need to to do this. what you need to incentivise a carbon incentivise it through a carbon price in economy

price consistent in the economy and that and make sure that they're making reasonable choices between fossil fuel power and solar power. i think that you are a free market industry, free. i'm proposing. i'm proposing . i've on, he said . by proposing. i've on, he said. by proposing. i've on, he said. by proposing a tax, i say something. of course it seems to incentivisation and know one thing. i think we probably agree on is there is a gap between what renewables can give us and where we are with fossil fuels to incentivise young people towards a more renewable future. it's a great idea . forcing them it's a great idea. forcing them towards may have negative towards it may have negative market effects , which i think is market effects, which i think is a fair point . i mean, i guess a fair point. i mean, i guess that's a fascinate argument here. we have the right wing free markets here advocating a carbon tax. oh, no, he is advocating he moves about his argument here. we have no no sky consultancy strike except me. is that in the financial saying yes he's proposing a tax i i'm not i'm just saying that rich people start invest in their homes. i'll tell you let them force

them to invest by requiring minimum minimum amendment of regulations. and if tell such people to pay for it, let's say if your house is wort h £2 if your house is worth £2 million instead of us subsidy licence on which we are using taxpayers money, we giving them cheaper energy because of the because also because of the price. we're also giving people with no no money, just right. you know, you on just right. so, you know, you on this ground here , you know. no, this ground here, you know. no, i agree with the great apply an energy cap. you're going to you've got to apply it to everybody know what i am saying is yes we must subsidise poor people at the moment because fossil prices come through fossil fuel prices come through the saying are the roof. but i'm saying why are we investing of pounds we investing billions of pounds of money in paying of taxpayers money in paying for rich to heat their rich people to heat their swimming pools? why our swimming pools? why all of our rich because i'm asking rich people? because i'm asking regulation. everyone mix of rich people with heated swimming pools and goes i pity the fact that you've got to spend about as much as most people as much money as most people spend on for room in spend on rent for one room in london week on your city pool london a week on your city pool that you've is happening that you've decided is happening then. because a then. but because we a free country , a free democracy, if country, a free democracy, if someone suffers pool, they can

have it. and i agree with the point attack them having i'm point attack them having it. i'm not in well world by we're not live in well world by we're in china now is that the outfit. i'm not attacking them what i'm saying thought you would saying is i thought you would agree we agree i do agree that we shouldn't be using taxpayers money to subsidise somebody to have their swimming have to heat their swimming pool have to heat their swimming pool. we both agree this. pool. we both agree on this. i mean, what we said when the energy price came in, energy price guarantee came in, but would have but the government would have been off making general been better off making general tax working people and tax cuts working people and putting specific targets putting very specific targets with welfare in place to help poorest rather than subsidising hot tubs and swimming pools, was the exact line we used donkeys completely right about that. and one of the consequences of not doing that general subsidy is doing that is general subsidy is that we're using more energy than we otherwise would. rich people are not being incentivised, their incentivised, reduce their energy, they energy, use as fast as they otherwise would so they otherwise would be. so they never going to be incentivised . never going to be incentivised. they run the margin. that's not true i mean, you know, most people this are not rich, but some of the petrol to heat a some of the big petrol to heat a swimming you're going to swimming pool you're going to you're heat some you're going to heat some pool whatever you know, i'm whatever it costs. you know, i'm not not and i'm also a

not not true. and i'm also a solar panels as well if you're required to do it's only 8000. i agree with you. solar panels are good back to the good low. but going back to the what's today around good low. but going back to the whéwind today around good low. but going back to the whéwind turbine today around good low. but going back to the whéwind turbine decision round good low. but going back to the whéwind turbine decision ,>und good low. but going back to the whéwind turbine decision , ind the wind turbine decision, i mean, again, as a free marketeers, surely you should support i mean, i'm hoping you support i mean, i'm hoping you support the idea that we should get rid of red tape that's blocking the market for wind turbines in this country. surely that's a free market idea that you would support ? well, i don't you would support? well, i don't know. i just i go past a lot of wind turbines that aren't turning, and that's just me. but i'm not an energy expert, as you may this is a this is may have. but this is a this is a complicated argument. the what what happened in 2015 is the cameron changed the rules to try and taking more difficult and avoid taking more difficult decisions the incentive decisions about the incentive for david cameron change rules to avoid the law. so using the planning system to try and avoid making decisions about the subsidy system that have been was eventually changed anyway was eventually changed anyway was . and all was what happened. and all that's happening at the moment is to reverse part is that on how to reverse part of without looking at how of that without looking at how they fundamentally reform, how

we the social costs of we include the social costs of wind but their wind turbines, but in their scheme for have got to guide the conversation rumbles on and it's good so thank you energy analyst andy mayor and director of the climate media coalition, duncan mccarthy . coming climate media coalition, duncan mccarthy. coming up, climate media coalition, duncan mccarthy. coming up , the migrant mccarthy. coming up, the migrant crisis has just got a little silly on the albanian ambassador's made himself look a little silly in the commons earlier today, but .

soon welcome back . tonight, soon welcome back. tonight, i am asking you, where should we get our energy from? one viewer says we should get our energy from fossil fuels and nuclear from within the uk when possible . we within the uk when possible. we should cut down on unreliable wind and solar. so that point, phil says without fracking we'll be at the mercy of others for energy and it will cost us a

fortune. and that's what the globalists want, isn't it? they can't tolerate the thought of any country being self—sufficient in anything. there is an interesting point that like the idea of that i quite like the idea of britain being energy self—sufficient and the future as we fill this gap between renewables and fossil fuels is right beneath our feet and we should be making taking full advantage of that. another viewer says conservative viewer says the conservative party to scrap the net zero party need to scrap the net zero green agenda. nonsense and get fracking used. nuclear energy, open coal mines and coal fired power stations and use the oil under the north sea. i want to go for a pint with you, chub, derek says locally produce fossil fuels, fuels and nuclear energy and lots of it. i agree. if it's locally sourced , it's if it's locally sourced, it's got to be better for the planet than 4000 miles across the atlantic . another video says gas atlantic. another video says gas and fracking alone within our own country , oil and gas from own country, oil and gas from nonh own country, oil and gas from north sea, coal from underground. we have plenty of it wales . go underground. we have plenty of it wales. go on underground. we have plenty of it wales . go on wales. underground. we have plenty of it wales. go on wales. send it in wales. go on wales. send it in wales. go on wales. send it over here. we need some of those. we're going to freeze to death this christmas. now, don't

forget to get in touch. email me faraj at gbnews.uk. or tweet me hashtag faraj on . gb news. hashtag faraj on. gb news. earlier today, the ambassador to the uk has told mps that his fellow nationals are being forced to travel over the channel illegally because there are no legal migrant options available to them from may to september this year. albanians made up 42% of migrants crossing by small boat, with more than 11,000 albanians arriving in that period. ambassador arterial kosoko defended the actions of the illegal migrants but came under fire from human affairs committee member leon pearson. take a listen to this beautiful stuff because they don't have the possibility to apply for

legal migration. that's the problem. and to apply for a visa because the number come back here why can't you just visit the country for 28 quit and then claim the claim asylum . why claim the claim asylum. why yeah. why can't they claim? why can't they visit the country for £28 travel and claim can't they visit the country for £28 travel and clai m £28? i £28 travel and claim £28? i a houday £28 travel and claim £28? i a holiday and then claim asylum . holiday and then claim asylum. why can't they do down. i don't have this this information. so you didn't understand automation like on the ago . they can't like on the ago. they can't i can't suppose why they do that . can't suppose why they do that. i would not like to play poker with the amazon anyway. illegal immigration in this country so out of control that local councils are having to defend their hotels from becoming residences to people arriving in small boats. and yet today we learn that the industry in our green and pleasant land is not good enough . as part of his good enough. as part of his grilling earlier today, the ambassador jibril cogeco grilling earlier today, the ambassadorjibril cogeco in ambassador jibril cogeco in london , also revealed in the

london, also revealed in the past month the embassy has issued travel documents to 300 of its citizens who claim to be victims of tik tok. we all love. well, i'm not. i'm not on it. and wanted to go back home. they believe they've been sold . the believe they've been sold. the lie from tik tok ads promoting a better life. is that you, jingping? so if life here is not as good as it's cracked up to be, it begs the question why are albanians risking and limb to get here ? joining me to discuss get here? joining me to discuss this conservative mp for blackpool , scot benton , blackpool, scot benton, cleveland, scott . good evening, cleveland, scott. good evening, lawrence. what's wrong with albania ? well i think you've hit albania? well i think you've hit the nail on the head. why at the knees? albanians feel the need to come to the uk. well, i think this is quite clear. senior police officers in my local area tell me the vast majority of serious organised crime in blackpool is now committed by albanians. i'm afraid lee

anderson, when they did hit the nail on the head in the clip, used to show they aren't interested in coming to this country legally , they're not country legally, they're not interested in coming to the uk and contributing to our public services or the economy. they come here, they go underground in the black markets and i'm afraid they are doing a crime epidemic across this country. and this is on the conservative government's watch . and unless government's watch. and unless we get hard and hard, fast . i'm we get hard and hard, fast. i'm afraid we're on course to lose the next election . well, the next election. well, exactly. i mean, people around the country , when they're polled the country, when they're polled and in your business, truancy and in your business, truancy and lee anderson and many , many and lee anderson and many, many others are fed up of migrants taking over their towns and cities. so why is this so—called conservative government doing nothing about it? and what should they be doing about it? absolutely. the largest single in—box item in my accounts of the last few years has been small boat people as part of about this. they have been for

an awful long time. every time i have a sir during the patch visit a local function. it's the only issue people want to speak to me about. i'm afraid we've had two years of false dawns . we had two years of false dawns. we are promised the nationality and borders bill would fix this. we had a home secretary, priti patel. i think she tried to do within her power, including , by within her power, including, by the way, attempting to leave c.a.r. to deal with this crisis . and for whatever reason that happened. i've had meetings recently with the home secretary and others with them led legislation to deal with this problem in weeks, not months . problem in weeks, not months. and that has to come through because people genuinely are sick and tired of seeing the image is that people come into the uk looking for a life of crime and not contributes and to our country. this to stop. this is an invasion and no doubts about that whatsoever . and it about that whatsoever. and it really is time my government stepped up to the plate and brought in the measures which it

conclusively go in to deal with this problem . are your this problem. are your government able to, though, or are they hampered and stopped by the deep state, by the by the class of people, the unelected of people who are very happy to welcome in these migrants ? does welcome in these migrants? does the government have any power to , do anything this certainly an element of that. i believe i mean, we all saw the problems priti patel had as home secretary trying to get through around this scheme on a number of issues like that in the face of issues like that in the face of robust civil service opposition which is come into power is only been a matter of weeks. he's made it clear that this is one of his top priorities. i think we have to give him the time to try and work through legislative options to solve this. but i'm afraid the clock is ticking . the the clock is ticking. the patience of not just concerned employees like myself, but my importantly, my constituents and millions of people in this country ran out long ago . she country ran out long ago. she has to step up to the place and

he has to deal with this. otherwise we will leave a vacuum on the right side of the spectrum where other parties will come in and cost the conservative government the next election. last thing we want is a labour government. but unless we get serious about this , i'm we get serious about this, i'm afraid that's the imminent prospect at this moment in time . well, i don't know too much confidence in rishi taking control, but tell me what's wrong with the 28 quid direct flight from tehran to london on with that. why is that better than getting into a dinghy? absolutely. wasn't it embarrassing to say the albanian ambassador that he was absolutely speechless in face and robust, in fact , questioning and robust, in fact, questioning and robust, in fact, questioning and my colleague on this and everybody knows that these albanians aren't interested come into the country illegally. if i produced a passport on a flight from sudan, we frankly wouldn't let them in because they don't meet the requirements. this country has. that's why the thousands of pounds channel and

that's why as soon as i in hotels, in constituencies such as mine , they vanish overnight as mine, they vanish overnight and the home office loses all track of where these people are. and then they'll probably open an account of this from all involved in serious organised crime. why are we so soft in this country? and we have to get tough loans for far too long. this country frankly, has been a soft touch on this issue . you soft touch on this issue. you know that. i know that million of your viewers know that as well. and it has to stop. as simple as that . well, on the on simple as that. well, on the on on on another note, in an optimistic note, we have opened up a coal mine. so we can start to dream of times of old again. how do you feel about that new. i think that was positive news loans . i i think that was positive news loans. i mean, the ridiculous situation was we have potentially transports in coking coal from countries such as china to use in manufacturing, such as our steel plants in this country. and it looked very good on paper because, of course, the c02 on paper because, of course, the co2 emissions with down as the

chinese mine, not a british mine, but it was killing the environment. ridiculous scenario of shipping coal tens of thousands of miles across the planet . i think at last we've planet. i think at last we've had a bit of common sense from our government in approving that, but course we have a long way go, but we will say that way to go, but we will say that the news event of a coal the good news event of a coal mine opened in at the moment, but a lot progress to do, not just on energy supplies but on so many different areas this government trying to tackle . government is trying to tackle. and what you make of rishi's and what do you make of rishi's relationship with the truth with these onshore wind farms ? is these onshore wind farms? is u—turn after u—turn after everything. and, you know, can he be trusted ? this new chairman he be trusted? this new chairman , rishi, as i like to call him, of the socialist party , i think of the socialist party, i think rishi can be trusted . questions rishi can be trusted. questions of honesty and integrity . i of honesty and integrity. i don't think anybody in the party on the political challenges rishi on those aspects. i think you can talk about his ideology. you can talk about the direction he wants . take the conservative

he wants. take the conservative party and that certainly in the deaungs party and that certainly in the dealings i've had with him and colleagues as well , dealings i've had with him and colleagues as well, he's straight down the line. i think he does have an ambition to tackle some of those issues which you all long for the previous conservative ministers haven't tackled just on the pace on onshore farms. and i can say to them he's of various different views about that, but that has to be a better approach than looking at bringing in energy from foreign nations. of course, you need nuclear power. you need to have a stable forms of energy. we all know the gas doesn't blow 100% of the time. it's an impulse and part of energy production in this country and also part of the growth agenda. we have concerns of colleagues who say no , i'm of colleagues who say no, i'm not having wind turbine in my areas. well, frankly , that's not areas. well, frankly, that's not acceptable. it's enough if you consider turbines, you should also if you consider wind turbines, you should also consider fracking , in my view consider fracking, in my view anyway. and scott benton mp

thank you very much for joining me right up next, have you heard our who wrote this , the camel our who wrote this, the camel penis munching. but hang our who wrote this, the camel penis munching . but hang cloak penis munching. but hang cloak has revealed his fate . don't go has revealed his fate. don't go away. my verdict , you .

welcome back . after three weeks welcome back. after three weeks of stuffing himself with camel penis down under, our former health secretary, matt hancock, confirmed today that he would be stepping down as an mp at the next election. these are some of the reasons he gave in a tik tok video. he released before . i've video. he released before. i've increasingly come to the view that it's so important to engage with people about politics, about how our country is run, not just through parliament, but

also through new and innovative ways. and i look forward to doing more of that. there are exciting possibilities he's ahead. and of course, until the next election , i will serve all next election, i will serve all of my constituents and ensure that they have their voice in parliament. how decent of him wanting to engage with people through new and exciting ways? well no, it's not noble of him. when you find out that it's the paper today reported he's only going to step down after losing a vote of confidence from his local constituency association in west suffolk. and it's not very noble when you consider he's 400 times better off than he's 400 times better off than he was now this time last month, after taking a three week houday after taking a three week holiday to film i'm a celeb, all under the guise of raising awareness for dyslexia . or when awareness for dyslexia. or when you think about his time as health secretary, when from march 2020, he basically turned us into a modern day east

germany. this is the man who locked us inside our houses for months on end, failed to put a so—called protective ring around care homes . so—called protective ring around care homes. brilliant so—called protective ring around care homes . brilliant policy care homes. brilliant policy that won. matt he also oversaw failed procurement programme in the health department which saw millions of pounds lost to fraud. standing down as an mp is just about the least he could do by. right. sorry, i had made my talk. okay, better news following morocco's incredible win over spain in penalties yesterday afternoon, i think it was certainly justified . action was certainly justified. action for celebrating raising glass , for celebrating raising glass, waving the flag. but let's go back to summer 2021 in needham. fans are out in force celebrating wins over germany, ukraine denmark after making ukraine and denmark after making our first since 1966. huge our first final since 1966. huge moment in the history of our country , especially following country, especially following the heinous lockdown laws that had of any joy had starved us of any joy whatsoever, much of which is given to us by the beautiful

game. until started game. until they started kneeling . dreadful. however the kneeling. dreadful. however the news made headlines that followed the english celebrations described the scenes as chaos , branding the scenes as chaos, branding the fans as thugs and disrespectful. why do our media eat just so much? why are they not on the side of the british people? i don't get it. anyway, last night , when moroccan fans took to the streets following them, when they shut down trivago square climb monument set off flares, bombs and fireworks stood on the roof of cars , played music roof of cars, played music through the streets and the headunes through the streets and the headlines moroccan headlines described moroccan fans delighted and the fans being delighted and the meeting with others, meeting joyfully with others, referring to the scene as a celebration. no i'm not saying that people shouldn't have fun, but. well, i win our own fans in their own country celebrate and they vilified as thugs. i'm a moroccan fans, but even that same way, they're portrayed as fun loving , law abiding fun loving, law abiding citizens. i can't help but feel it's just sort of snobbery towards the vast majority of working class men and women who are backbone of the actual

are the backbone of the actual national support . are the backbone of the actual national support. i'm national team's support. i'm with you guys, so get st george's flag out this big game in 72 hours and remember , all we in 72 hours and remember, all we have to do is stop the dinghies advancing down the beach . more advancing down the beach. more of your reactions to my question this evening . where should we this evening. where should we get our energy from? ryan says coal, coal and more coal is by far the cheapest source of energy, and with modern equipment can be burnt efficiently with very little pollution. this is true. tonight's decision on the whitehaven mine should be the first many. i agree , marion first of many. i agree, marion answers every available source. i also agree that's, you know , i also agree that's, you know, everyone, let's find our energy by we can find it and encourage children to become amazing inventors. bill says . we have 12 inventors. bill says. we have 12 wind turbines near us, even when there is no wind. wind turbines near us, even when there is no wind . all 12 are there is no wind. all 12 are waiting around or to really. powered by diesel engines . then powered by diesel engines. then we go. how green is this ? phil we go. how green is this? phil says tidal power has to be the way forward . never stops coming

way forward. never stops coming in and going out. we're an island. that makes sense to me, too. lisa says the same barriers across the channel, for instance, it makes . come on, instance, it makes. come on, guys. he hasn't invented this. right next. the public are being warned to be extra vigilant. world cup events and in crowded places throughout the festive penod places throughout the festive period as a threat from terrorists and remains very real. according to the counter—terror police , counter—terror police, authorities say the run up to christmas is always high risk when it comes to security threats, although the police say there is no specific intelligence of a planned attack. just be scared all the time, all of you, and see how good is for your mental good that is for your mental health anyway. homeland health anyway. our homeland security white, has security editor, mark white, has been to one of the uk's been speaking to one of the uk's most senior counterterror officers . officers. across the nation, many thousands are currently packing into venues to enjoy the

delights of the world's premiere football tournament at the. the last thing anyone here wants to be thinking about is the threat of attack. but terrorists often seek out crowded places to cause maximum harm. the festive period is traditionally higher risk. add to that a massive programme of events like the world cup and authorities say everyone should be alert to the potential dangers. we know that since 2017, the intelligence services and policing have foiled 37 attack plots in the uk and i don't say that to alarm people , don't say that to alarm people, but i say that to show people how hard policing and the intelligence services are working in the background to keep them safe. many terrorists investigations rely on information coming into the system. and i'm here to try and encourage the public to remain really vigilant alert . encourage the public to remain really vigilant alert. media really vigilant and alert. media here in birmingham, the city's

german market has fully reopen , german market has fully reopen, and for the first time since the pandemic , annual events like pandemic, annual events like these are a key part of security planning. ever since islamist terrorists targeted christmas markets in multiple european cities in recent years , all cities in recent years, all around this christmas market are the discreet and not so discreet signs of secure city. the most obvious of these vehicle barriers . they are positioned at barriers. they are positioned at all the entrances to the market. in fact, these barriers are so commonplace now in centres of population right across the country. there are almost part of the street scenery . it's nice of the street scenery. it's nice to see people out . it's nice to to see people out. it's nice to get out and be able to do this again. after lockdown . andrew again. after lockdown. andrew lawson is just glad to see a bit of normality and security concerns are not, he says, going to stop his enjoyment. we all have to live our lives like we got today and wait for something to happen. you just have to live it. andy and kelly had their

first date here three years ago, back for the first time since then. they say the obvious security presence doesn't concern them . quite the concern them. quite the opposite. and we've seen all the security barriers up for years now. it's not a it's not a unusual thing to say. now. it's not a it's not a unusual thing to say . and i unusual thing to say. and i don't know of anything that's happened.i don't know of anything that's happened . i think if you come happened. i think if you come anywhere where there's going to be a maximum of people, you need to for anything, really. to plan for anything, really. and you feel and so having security, you feel a coming. authorities a bit safer coming. authorities say want to alarm the say they don't want to alarm the public. indeed terror groups like al—qaeda and isis have been severely degraded by western military activity in recent years . but the security services years. but the security services warn they are attempting to regroup and they've never lost the capacity to radicalise lives and influence others over the internet. so while the public enjoy the world cup and christmas festivities ahead, they're also being asked to remain vigilant. they're also being asked to remain vigilant . mark white gb remain vigilant. mark white gb news birmingham burn run an

. disturbs me inside a what? what with my emotions go. i can't watch it again. really? yeah it really tunes on me. it just eats me up because there are people that were in there that really media unnecessary , that really media unnecessary, hard because it could have been such a fantastic show . and some such a fantastic show. and some people just from the rhode island to say bad of anyone. so i'm going to leave it there. all right. let's leave it there. yeah, as i was getting to know, you know, not only today. yeah i was really interested in what you were talking about in terms of being a father. okay. and i'm a dad. and i think dads need coaching. and now you've got a grand your granddad. so i want to coach myself. i want other. that's got a bit of coaching and the thing that struck me was the you said you can this is real, by the way. yeah, it is real booze. woo hoo. you said that you can be your child's friend, but you have to be its parent .

but you have to be its parent. oh, yeah. right now , i was oh, yeah. right now, i was always said, you can't be your kid's friend. you've got to be that parent. so talk me through what you think . the other thing what you think. the other thing you said i thought was brilliant was when someone said, how do you parent you when you know, when you've done something wrong? so just taught me to give get me some advice with your wisdom on how be a better dad wisdom on how to be a better dad . but you know what it is. i think myself personally , i think for myself personally, i remember what it was like when i was a kid and i've always hung on to that. and then i know the relationship that i had with my dad up and down. as you know, dad is up and down. as you know, my dad is a typical man of his time, but the good thing about what we had was it was a great lesson in how not to be. i didn't want to be like my dad. i didn't want to be like my dad. i didn't want to be like my dad. i didn't want to be that kind of a parent because he was your typical you know, come on, chuck, the money on the table. my chuck, the money on the table. my mum to deal with wherever my mum had to deal with wherever she given . then it'd be off she was given. then it'd be off to the bookies. i can remember guiding bookies. him up

guiding the bookies. pick him up and get him. but anyway, the thing it showed me that thing is, it showed me that i didn't to be that kind of didn't want to be that kind of a parent. wanted to be involved. parent. i wanted to be involved. i my kids lives and i wanted to be my kids lives and it's about setting boundaries and sticking to them . and i and sticking to them. and i think the mistake a lot of people make as parents is , is to people make as parents is, is to today their children don't do this. and then the children do it and then they set a new boundary. i said, don't do that all. and then the children still do it. and then they set a new boundary straight away. you're telling your children that my word means nothing right now is an example . please don't take me an example. please don't take me literally. but let's say, for example, slip that you did it again. i'm going to poke in the eye now. you shouldn't have said it, but not the fact that you have said it. you go stand by it. so if your child doesn't one good poke in the eye. no again, i say shouldn't said that. i say you shouldn't said that. and not something i'm and that's not something i'm saying people should do. saying that people should do. but trying say that but hold. i'm trying to say that you to stand by your word.

you need to stand by your word. make you say real is make what you say real is masculinity . toxic masculinity . masculinity. toxic masculinity. yeah. no. masculine . see yeah. no. masculine. see masculinity being took out . i'm masculinity being took out. i'm a man and not a typical male. so i'm not going to say masculinity. no, it's not toxic , you know. i mean, i have had the experience. my kids, it's like this. unfortunately, i'm lucky enough now to be able to go like this to my son. lucky enough now to be able to go like this to my son . and go like this to my son. and that's enough, right? sometimes there's things i'm not. i'm already myself. parent of the air. i'm not. but is that is there something you know? is that my view is that we need really good, strong masculine anthems and role models in this world. a great diverse and they're not the same. and that will help children to flourish. do you agree ? i agree with that do you agree? i agree with that 100. we need a bit of hard and soft . yeah. whether or not it soft. yeah. whether or not it comes from opposite parents, it doesn't matter. but we need

children need a bit of hard loving and the bitter. i'm sorry. a bit hard. you know ? sorry. a bit hard. you know? yeah. and a bit of soft. bear loving. yeah. and i don't think children today are getting it. i think what children today get is too much soft . my youngest too much soft. my youngest included my nothing really . included my nothing really. well, it's hard, though, because everything around them is very soft . yeah. so they're not used soft. yeah. so they're not used to being confronted over issues that that we would we would confront them over . okay. so as confront them over. okay. so as you move forward and you know, you'll you're going to become the wise, even wiser, more senior gentleman and as well. what are you going to say to you, great grandkids? get off the iphone. know you're not actually feels it. feel for myself it feels easy with my grandkids that maybe because my children with a learning curve . children with a learning curve. yeah. and now you know ironed out all the wrinkles. so
