confirm that he'll stand up for working people and that he and his party will back that legislation .7 so while the legislation? so while the pressure is on for the tories to free person from the grip of the unions, it's labour who could bear the brunt of the public's anger and the pm's challenge to starmer there. according

her promise to get justice for her son is well and truly complete. following the sentencing of anne sacoolas for causing his death by careless driving , the wife of a us driving, the wife of a us diplomat received eight months in prison, suspend did for 12 months. in 2019, she was driving on the wrong side of the road when she hit the 19 year old and later pleaded guilty to causing his death . mrs. sacoolas says his death. mrs. sacoolas says she's deeply sorry for the pain that she caused. speaking outside the court, harry's mum, charlotte charles, praised the verdict and a warning for those watching on television. this clip contains flashing images and skill, has a criminal record for the rest of the life . that for the rest of the life. that was something that you know, they never she never thought she'd see the us government never thought that they'd see. and we've worked tirelessly and relentlessly to make sure that she, in the end will have to do what you and i would have had to have done. so, yeah, harry, we do that and we get we get the uk health security agency has

confirmed too that 15 children under the age of 15 have now died from strep a, 13 children have died in england since september one death has been recorded in northern ireland and one in wales. health officials says there's say there's no evidence of a new strain and the rising cases is probably due to high amounts of circulating bacteria and increased social mixing. it comes as pharmacists continue to complain of a shortage of antibodies , ticks . shortage of antibodies, ticks. but meanwhile, waiting lists for routine nhs treatment in england have hit a record high , whilst have hit a record high, whilst a&e performances are at a record low, according to the nhs, 7.2 million people will waiting to start routine treatment at the end of october. and just 67% of a&e patients were seen within 4 hours of being admitted. ambulance response times have improved , but are still more improved, but are still more than 40 minutes behind the 18 minute target . the government

minute target. the government has defended its decision to open the first uk coal mine for 30 years, saying it will create hundreds of jobs. the levelling up secretary has given planning permission for the new mine in cumbria, despite a government commitment to phase out coal . commitment to phase out coal. cop26 president alok sharma called the decision a backward step for uk climate action . step for uk climate action. speaking to gb news shadow chancellor rachel reeves refused to say if future labour governments would close the pit . we want to create jobs in the north of england, including in cumbria , but we will be doing cumbria, but we will be doing that by investing in the jobs and the industries of the future . we've got today a fossil fuel prime minister in the age of renewables investing in the industries of the past rather than those of the future . and than those of the future. and senior palace sources are denying claims that the royal family declined to comment on allegations made in the duke and duchess of sussex's netflix series. it's understood that kensington palace did receive an email from a third party

production company, but attempts to verify it received no response . that contradicts response. that contradicts a statement made at the start of the programme in the series , the programme in the series, harry accuses the royal family of a huge level of unconscious bias . we're on tv, online and on bias. we're on tv, online and on dab+ radio. this is gb news back now to laurence . ohi oh i can just feel my unconscious bias. oh i can just feel my unconscious bias . very itchy unconscious bias. very itchy today. unconscious bias. very itchy today . anyway, i'd like to today. anyway, i'd like to apologise in advance if i seem a tad subdued this evening, but when i received a whatsapp message from my producer first thing this morning saying,

remember , the harry and meghan remember, the harry and meghan documentary comes out today , documentary comes out today, we'll cover it. enjoy we'll need to cover it. enjoy followed by a winking face emoji . i can't say that my heart leapt . so today i spent more leapt. so today i spent more time than i would have liked. getting to know the real harry and meghan again. for those who missed the oprah interview , if missed the oprah interview, if i'm a bit miffed, it's because it bores me to tears giving these two airtime. well for one thing, the markle's don't really need to keep stopping the monarchy in the front as they do in this documentary generally but persistently as our own king charles doing his best neville chamberlain impression seems to be appeasing this thousand year old sacred institutions. the grand all by himself with the way dealing with marlene's way he's dealing with marlene's entrapment lady , hussy and entrapment of lady, hussy and lady hussey subsequent necessary and immediate sacrifice at the altar of white supremacy . on the altar of white supremacy. on the plus side , i do have to say plus side, i do have to say documentaries rather well made each as he's called, is engaging and much more relaxed in private than when he's in public. and one does feel for him in part.

meghan gives her masterpiece in how to gently undermine every custom britain holds dear, while they both do actually . racism, they both do actually. racism, brexit . really? harry do better brexit. really? harry do better make as is always the case with these two, the conversation turns often and always to race, and once it's there , it's unable and once it's there, it's unable to move on. meghan keeps going on about being black, which is so strange because she's and she's mixed race and then she looks to some people who are now too scared to ask where people are from. but she's come from spain or italy or somewhere like that. that's the problem with all this endless skin shooing . all this endless skin shooing. it invites division and the markle's there to pick up the cache. markle's there to pick up the cache . there is nothing more cache. there is nothing more depressing than this never ending hand—wringing about race and uncle conscious bias, which, by the way, is called ghost hunting to you and me that soak called progressives are so keen on, especially seeing as they only open an acceptable form of

racism permitted in the public sphere in the united kingdom. nowadays is against white people. lucky us who the documentary spends a good amount of time denigrating by a thoughtful, soft, focussed, rather snide interjection from extremely high end race countries like david olusoga and privately educated, supremely privileged . these aren't budget privileged. these aren't budget airline, race baiters like yasmin alabi brown or dr. shola on this gig . this is the real on this gig. this is the real deal on this gig. this is the real deal. it is achingly slick as the piano moans along come relevant to the markle's every day woes and in many ways it does exactly the job it is trying to do. paint the tube protagonists as victims whose suffering is permanent and unbearable. and it is the british press and the british pubuc british press and the british public fault because, yes, you guessed it , public fault because, yes, you guessed it, once more for those at the back . you're all massive at the back. you're all massive racists . however spitting the racists. however spitting the sussex yarn does require some careful emissions to keep the

narrative on track. allegations about princess diana being hounded to death by the paparazzi, for example, rather than died at the hands of a drunk driver at the mercedes. she was so unfortunate to get inside. they come early on and there is no footage of the well—wishers. dozens deep offering their cheers at harry and meghan's wedding. well, no, they so far as where i've got to in the documentary, before i needed to take a very, very long breather . i needed to take a very, very long breather. i don't needed to take a very, very long breather . i don't really have breather. i don't really have much else to say. i've had a few cameras shoved in my face over the years and yes, unpleasant. i've also received horrible tweets and newspaper articles and people threatening to unload shotguns in my which isn't shotguns in my face, which isn't particularly enjoyable either. shotguns in my face, which isn't partthis|rly enjoyable either. shotguns in my face, which isn't partthis is! enjoyable either. shotguns in my face, which isn't partthis is the joyable either. shotguns in my face, which isn't partthis is the digital either. shotguns in my face, which isn't partthis is the digital age,er. shotguns in my face, which isn't partthis is the digital age, and but this is the digital age, and the marshals are not unique in suffering the downsides of what life the public eye brings life in the public eye brings much love it if much as meghan would love it if they perhaps . they might they were perhaps. they might both benefit from developing what we used to call a bit of a stiff upper lip and trying to find time to enjoy the great

privileges this genuinely progressive world is afforded them rather than unloading about them rather than unloading about the unbearable systemic compression which weighs so heavily upon them as they desperately try to live the quiet , private life desperately try to live the quiet, private life and desperately try to live the quiet , private life and the $30 quiet, private life and the $30 million man to see too mansion in front of the eyes of millions on netflix . i am joined this on netflix. i am joined this evening by michael cole , former evening by michael cole, former bbc royal correspondent michael , what have you watched? i have. ihave. , what have you watched? i have. i have. and you're quite right, lawrence. i mean, it's very slick. it's very glossy. netflix of throwing a lot of money at this. but i fear that they've sorely oversold it. there are squibs . there are damp squibs, squibs. there are damp squibs, and there are squibs that are so wringing, wet with self—justification and self—pity that they come out like the

harry and meghan show. i don't think there's a great deal that's new in it. i don't believe anybody at buckingham palace or kensington palace is going to be losing any sleep tonight. if there's not much in the next three episodes, which we have to wait until next week, three whole. yes, three more. you're going to have to sit back and watch it all again . but and watch it all again. but really , who wants to listen to really, who wants to listen to a three hour whine about poor me. pull me . all the terrible things pull me. all the terrible things that have happened to me in my life . and it doesn't sit well life. and it doesn't sit well with people . people who are with people. people who are admired. who put up with things. the people in this country who at this moment are enduring hardship, not daring to put on their gas central heating because they can't pay the bill or trying to get to work and wondering if the trains are going to be there or whether some eco anarchists are going to be stand in the way getting be stand in the way from getting to these are the real

to work. these are the real problems . lawrence and only to problems. lawrence and only to time zones away from where we are at this very moment. people are at this very moment. people are being bombed, murdered , are being bombed, murdered, raped in ukraine, an innocent country that's been invaded. so really , in the grand scheme of really, in the grand scheme of things , what have they got to things, what have they got to complain about? there they are sitting on the rooftop hilltop fortress in california . they are fortress in california. they are very good looking people. they've got two beautiful children , healthy. they've got children, healthy. they've got all the money that netflix has given them. apparently, they're getting 19 million for this episode . we're watching episode. we're watching everywhere they go in life. people smile at them and they want to please them . that want to please them. that doesn't happen to me in life. i don't know whether it happens to you and if you looked the other night , new you and if you looked the other night, new york , there was you and if you looked the other night , new york , there was award night, new york, there was award scheme . and i looked at it very

scheme. and i looked at it very carefully because i used to be on the road as royal correspondent for many years. there was a huge bank of photographers . the nick on choir photographers. the nick on choir was there if they wanted to avoid publicity , they could have avoid publicity, they could have been back in california feeding their chickens. but they wanted pubuchy their chickens. but they wanted publicity when they wanted , and publicity when they wanted, and they didn't want it when they wanted. you're an actor . was was wanted. you're an actor. was was one. well maybe you will again. she's an actress. she spent the whole of her life looking for attention and hoping that somebody would notice her when she got tremendous fame that she could only dream of . she could only dream of. she couldn't handle it. or could she? i've known i have to say, i didn't number of meghan markle that i've met on film sets in the 22 years i worked as an actor by the pound for every one i could afford. a very , very i could afford. a very, very nice dinner. it's a certain type of character that both male and female. but particularly in female. but particularly in female actors, there's a there's

a level of narcissism which she expresses in that documentary in the bit that really got me was when she turned around and she was shown a schoolbook by her teacher in the california school. and she went, when i'm rich and famous. so she planned becoming rich and famous, hadn't she? and then then she criticised is the british for being british. she has. the thing about the royal family is they have to stand there and present, you know, a stoic, stoic view to the world. it's like, yeah, they do, that's what they do . they have to shake they do. they have to shake hands with a million people a day. you can't this day. you can't begin this banter. she just banter. i felt that she just very subtly and baited and did actually very subtly undermine and the foundation into to and the very foundation into to what it is to be british and to believe in our institutions and our and our cultural heritage . our and our cultural heritage. and then, of course , brotherly and then, of course, brotherly love. i mean , we're not in the love. i mean, we're not in the area of jonathan and david. if we're going to the bible, we're more in the area of cain able. and this is undoubtedly a very

serious attack on prince william and his wife . and if there are and his wife. and if there are issues, veracity , in other issues, veracity, in other words, if there's untruths told , i would give advice to the palace that they should really they do this, but they should give a line by line rebuttal of what they think is wrong in it. because i think people expect that we've got this vague allegation of racism , but allegation of racism, but nobody's named . it. it's not nobody's named. it. it's not said what was said , who said it said what was said, who said it where they said it, and when they said it and what was said in reply. and the terrible thing about racism , which is the big about racism, which is the big no no of the age, is that it's an easy allegation to make and it's almost impossible to refute . it's impossible to prove a negative . and i fear you negative. and i fear you mentioned the case of lady susan hussey, who i knew quite well. i

fear that we're regressing to the 17th century in massachusetts since where you which overlooks its suggestible teenage girls could go round and say she's a witch and they hound innocent women or they killed them by putting heavy stones upon their breasts. and so they were dead. but where is it now? now all i have to say is she's a racist. denounce on social media andifs racist. denounce on social media and it's stand and 60 years of fault plus blameless service to the crown is over in a minute but where's the campaign to support lady hussey this is what i didn't mean that i i'm concerned that the british people aren't even on their own side. we've been beaten and battered and bruised by harry and meghan . and this constant and meghan. and this constant drive tell us that we're all drive to tell us that we're all racists and we don't even know it. even these people that aren't so you're giving racist feeling where is the campaign for lady susan? i think to go back to the job that king charles i know, i think there is

one. and i think people realise, you know, fair play is quite rightly a british characteristic. and i think fair play will come in to play here. look at me. okay when i was at school , 60 years ago , 63 years school, 60 years ago, 63 years ago , the queen went to ghana and ago, the queen went to ghana and she danced a dance called the highlife with the autocratic ruler of ghana, kwame nkrumah, and throughout her life, she built upon the creation of her father , king george, and sayeth father, king george, and sayeth the commonwealth. and nobody in this whole world has done more than her majesty the queen to bnng than her majesty the queen to bring about harmony and good relations between the many races , every race, creed, colour and religion within the commonwealth. when she started out as queen in 1952, i think there were 37 realms. it would have been impossible for her majesty the queen to be racist. she is above all that sort of

thing , and nobody did more . and thing, and nobody did more. and you don't have to rely upon me. you can see in the papers every day what the new king has done and has done throughout his life to improve harmony between the races this country has been more welcoming , more tolerant , more welcoming, more tolerant, more inclusive than almost any nation on earth. i was talking to one of the protagonists of black lives matter in another studio , lives matter in another studio, a lesser station than this. and she agreed with me, you know, that this country has been broadly very welcoming . and i broadly very welcoming. and i think if that is acknowledged , think if that is acknowledged, race relations would improve exponentially , but possibly not exponentially, but possibly not by those who seek to gain profit from division. but michael, thank you so much for coming in and being so articulate about the situation and voicing the views that i think so many people share . right it's in people share. right it's in every newspaper , on every news

every newspaper, on every news site and trending on twitter. so i'm going to ask you what's more important than harry and i lucky meghan today seem out of me. barrage at gb news uk or use the hashtag hours from gb news. help us with a story . hashtag hours from gb news. help us with a story. michael hashtag hours from gb news. help us with a story . michael cole, us with a story. michael cole, former bbc royal correspondent. thank you for your analysis. coming up, we will be speaking to a man who was senior adviser to a man who was senior adviser to the president after his company was found guilty of tax fraud. back . sanchez in the gb newsroom. we start with some breaking news on the conservatives have removed the conservatives have removed the whip from senior mp julian knight after a complaint was made to the met police . that's made to the met police. that's according to a spokeswoman for chief whip simon hart. she

declined to comment on the nature

starmer there. according to data from the electoral commission, the party pocketed 1.6 million from unite unison , gmb and the from unite unison, gmb and the like in the third quarter of this year alone. and writing in the daily mail, former labour mp and current peer lord and alston warned if keir starmer thinks this winter's disruption will help him convince

soon welcome back. in reaction to my audience question, steve says, i'll just cancel my netflix subscription and maybe for a month, maybe for longer. subscription and maybe for a month, maybe for longer . well, month, maybe for longer. well, then, steve, richard says everything is more important

than those two. i agree. i wish i praying for something else. it's happened today so we didn't have to talk about them. another says, well, a random stranger had for this evening is more important than the news pack. thatis important than the news pack. that is interesting . and he says that is interesting. and he says everything they have no importance whatsoever . i'm not importance whatsoever. i'm not sensing a lot of harry and meghan enough guys for me tonight. we got some love tonight. have we got some love or nice? says or something nice? another says the fridge . okay, look , he's the fridge. okay, look, he's back on the heels of announcing his bid to return as president in 2024. courtney york has found donald trump family property company guilty of tax fraud , a company guilty of tax fraud, a verdict he will be appealing . verdict he will be appealing. the trump organisation was convicted to pay his bosses off the books with things like luxury cars and private school fees. never happened before. how is it so they can minimise the amount of tax they had to pay after? not come to candidacy? will conviction have any will this conviction have any effect on the campaign? and is this just a case of left wing judiciary in new you've judiciary in new york? you've got for the former

got it in for the former president. joining me to discuss this is jason miller , senior this is jason miller, senior advisor the trump oh, he was advisor to the trump oh, he was president ceo of jetta. president and ceo of jetta. jason, is this bad news for him? no, not this particular case. the reality is in the republican primary, 75% of republicans have a positive opinion of trump and he still leads in a head to head matchup with anyone else who's running. well, a lot of folks that you came on realise is that the us has already started to self segregate on whether or not they think any these invest they think any of these invest negations or trials and things of merit. of that nature have any merit. and you're and people, if you're a republican, most people think it's nonsense. it's witch it's all nonsense. it's a witch hunt democrat, you hunt. if you're a democrat, you want see president trump want to see president trump locked thing , want to see president trump locked thing, is locked up. here's the thing, is that letitia james, who's the attorney of york, attorney general of new york, actually campaign and in 2018 saying that she was going to lock up donald trump. i don't think she got a particularly fair shake, but this one, the business, think there'll be business, i think there'll be maybe a fine of a million or $2 million. it won't impact any of the though. did you the polls, though. what did you make biden saying last make of joe biden saying last night he's got nine black

night that he's got nine black women judges into the american legal system ? i was just like, legal system? i was just like, what are you talking about? why are you talking about women and the colour of their skin and what difference that makes to justice, which is meant to be blind? well so you make a really good point. has nothing to do with justice. what it has to do is the fact that south carolina and the support of james clyburn, a prominent african—american congressman, is why is president today why joe biden is president today or why he's who at least was the democratic and so joe democratic nominee. and so joe biden actually said that he would nominate an african american woman to the supreme court if he got the opportunity . and that's what he followed through. did and what you through. did and what do you think ? you know, obviously, the think? you know, obviously, the left have a have a particular way of just trying to destroy everything and free speech in particular. they and donald particular. and they and donald trump the bogeyman. do you trump is the bogeyman. do you think is going to win think that this is going to win , affect his or his , you know, affect his or his chances of standing and what are your thoughts on this? and do your thoughts on this? and do you think he's going to come through the centre? this is

through to the centre? this is going be tough. take going to be tough. i take everyone seriously, just as obviously job of obviously of my day job of running company, running a social media company, but is president but is someone who is president trump's former right hand guy. i take all opponents seriously. distintas good distintas has a really good record, you start going record, but once you start going down that presidential road, when the when you go through the primaries, hampshire , primaries, iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, people start picking apart the smallest detail . how does your voice detail. how does your voice sound? what are your mannerisms? what do you sound like in a head to head when you're going against a donald trump? there are of folks who are big are a lot of folks who are big names roll up against names that roll up against president mode president trump in 2016. he mode all down, but we'll see all of them down, but we'll see what desantis can do. but he'll be tough. and what do you think about think they about pompeo? do you think they were to be able to shake were going to be able to shake mike is going to come mike pence is going to come through what what do you through what what what do you think? going to more. think? it's going to have more. how the line? how how how big is the line? how long is the line going to be? well, what everyone's well, that's what everyone's delivering they're up delivering as they're edging up to line with hope that to that line with the hope that president either doesn't president trump either doesn't run these run or maybe one of these investigations knock run or maybe one of these investup,:ions knock run or maybe one of these investup, knock knock run or maybe one of these investup, knock him knock run or maybe one of these investup, knock him kbut< them up, knock him out. but that's the challenge, is that if you're waiting on some third

party to determine if party action to determine if you're there, that's you're opening, is there, that's not strategy that's called not a strategy that's called a wish. big pompeo fan. big wish. a big pompeo fan. big pence fan . don't they pence fan. i don't think they have a against trump. and have a chance against trump. and actually, more candidates actually, the more candidates that helps that get in actually helps trump. mind, he had, trump. keep in mind, he had, what, maybe 16 opponents in what, 15, maybe 16 opponents in 2016. so the more spread out the field gets that leaves his base of about 40. the republican primary rock solid and they'll say no one's really gone after desantis on a global scale, have they? he's not really he's not really shown what he is, what he would do. foreign policy wise, particularly. so it's a really smart inquiry for the simple fact that desantis has a background of more of a traditional supply side open trade type candidate, all of his record, his , i believe, was in record, his, i believe, was in congress for leaders for six years. one of the two i believe it was six years in his time in congress, very much anti tariff , more of a free trader. trump changed the republican primary in 2016. we saw and this wasn't just there we saw what happened

with brexit. we saw what happened with bolsonaro in brazil. so desantis is now going to have to take this very entity of record the republican of record to the republican primary electorate, which is now totally different than it was before . it's before trump. and it's interesting trust here interesting because trust here interesting because trust here in 44 day premiership said that reclassify china as a strategic threat and sunak's gone back on that and said a you know whatever the lower version is which is we'll do whatever the chinese want so that will matter with american voters, won't hugely, especially republican voters who are sick and tired of it hugely. and as we get to one of your favourite topics, hunter biden. right, which i had to work in a hunter biden somehow when to general when it gets to the general election, biden is election, assuming that biden is still candidate for the still the candidate for the democrats, that's not totally a done he is 80 years old done deal. he is 80 years old now. there a lot of folks now. there are a lot of folks who are kind of hoping he slips on a banana peel, less on a banana peel, blinking less by i've noticed it's by the day. i've noticed it's suboptimal. the optics, at least as far as is an american looking at it. but the is, is that at it. but the fact is, is that hunter biden's laptop, the business not the business dealings, not the pictures a feather

pictures of him with a feather boa the skivvies and all boa and the skivvies and all that but the actual that stuff, but the actual business particularly business deals, particularly with is going to be with china, is going to be a massive issue in the general section. that's why china matters, especially now that the republicans have the house. but so what do you think gave such a poor showing? and it was this red wave, this red tsunami that we were all expecting. even people like victor davis hanson were expecting, you know, a huge red wave. what happened ? do we red wave. what happened? do we blame mitch mcconnell ? who do we blame mitch mcconnell? who do we who we blaming him for the another good question. so i take both as a macro and a micro. at the macro, it's not so much about assigning blame. it's more assigning credit. democrats really kicked the republicans rear end when it came to targeting identifying and mobilising pro—choice voters , mobilising pro—choice voters, following up on the supreme court decision. so it wasn't so much the republicans did something bad. it was that democrats are basically playing chess while republicans are playing checkers with voter targeting. ultimately targeting. and ultimately getting their votes turned in. now it's micro—level. we did

now it's a micro—level. we did have few duds. this candidate, have a few duds. this candidate, some those backed by some of those were backed by trump. those weren't trump. some of those weren't backed trump. but going backed by trump. but we're going to do two things in 2024 to have to do two things in 2024 if want to win. number one, if we want to win. number one, got sure have some got to make sure have some better candidates in a of better candidates in a few of these places. then secondly these places. but then secondly , change some of , if we can't change some of these so they're not mass these laws so they're not mass ballots going to people, we ballots going out to people, we better how the better learn how to beat the democrats at their own game. otherwise, will be otherwise, republicans will be on after on the outside looking in after 2024 because republicans had 2024 because the republicans had nothing on this. they said, you're ban abortion and you're going to ban abortion and the republicans didn't push back on win the mail in on this. they win the mail in ballot time came it became ballot time came in, it became a huge issue. so should republicans start a exposing the mail in ballot system then sells if it's in a state where they don't control , say, the don't control, say, the legislature and the governor and they can't go back to same day voting and paper ballots and things of that nature, then absolutely need to beat absolutely they need to beat the democrats own game . we democrats at their own game. we didn't learn after 2020. we clearly what we'll see if we learn after 2022. i don't want to be on the outside looking in

after 2024. so republicans have to get our act together . well, i to get our act together. well, i think we need to get on it if you need to. it to get on a plane, then you should need to vote. and i also think that if you can't get of bed, that you can't get out of bed, that should be the only reason why you turn up and vote you can't turn up and vote in person. to vote? person. should you want to vote? jason miller, thank very, jason miller, thank you very, very joining thank very much forjoining me. thank you. wright, is this more you. jason wright, is this more evidence that people vying evidence that people are vying to trying to block trump ? we to trying to block trump? we will join you after the . to trying to block trump? we nature of the complaint, which is currently under investigation. and we'll bring you more on this story as we get it. levelling up secretary michael gove has given planning permission for a new coal mine

in cumbria . the plan was in cumbria. the plan was recommended by the independent planning

cheers . what is it about cheers. what is it about firefighters that we that we admire so much and love ? i don't admire so much and love? i don't know . i think yeah, admire so much and love? i don't know. i think yeah, i'd like to say because they can do no wrong. obviously, they can do wrong. obviously, they can do wrong. think it's just something maybe there's a little bit of ridicule . yes. it's not true, ridicule. yes. it's not true, but a little bit of a knight in shining armour thing because yeah, serve. but the sort yeah, they serve. but the sort of military are out, the ambulance are to place but ambulance are to the place but we we're not angels we you know, we're not angels like just don't like nurses but i just don't know what it is i think there's an an outdated image an old it's an outdated image now the day knight in shining now of the day knight in shining armour and i think i like the outdated modern day when i when i first joined i'd double breasted tunic silver buttons all down it's i might be that image is there but yeah although you go yeah you go there's a lucky young me handsome devil. yeah so you've read the book. i have london firefighter and firefighter . have london firefighter and firefighter. yeah. i couldn't think of anything more original than the number that that stuck under it. that. yep because that

london book has been doing rather well i gather . london book has been doing rather well i gather. yeah. yeah. for, for an unknown you know it's brand new for me. i always wanted to write a book and there's a story beyond that. but actually i put it down on paper and i was, i was writing it on and off for years, taking notes, writing things down and i felt i had a story to tell. what's the story? what would you tell ? it's everyone say it's my tell? it's everyone say it's my it's my career. in effect from 1987 until i retired in 2018. but it's the story of being a firefighter during that period. so it's everyone's story . i talk so it's everyone's story. i talk through my eyes. i didn't really feel, you know , obviously, like feel, you know, obviously, like i don't tell other people stories, but i found everyone surprisingly everyone is really relate and i've, you know , i've relate and i've, you know, i've had people write to me and say, you know, i was really feeling down over the fire brigade. but you've you've really inspired me again, some people know, some again, some people i know, some complete strangers a message complete strangers. a message from colleague from a former colleague yesterday who's been out of the service few years . it was

service for a few years. it was a really good fire investigatory really, really up there, you know, investigating all the a bit, you know, really detailed stuff. he said, what , like stuff. and he said, what, like backdraft , you know, that's backdraft when, you know, that's the guy . yeah, that's it. he's the guy. yeah, that's it. he's not about cgi in that film. it's from the last . so they use a lot from the last. so they use a lot of a lot of real fire in that centre and that was quite early on my so i love that. on in my career. so i love that. yeah, me too. that was a great film, yeah, and he's now film, but yeah, and he's now back a private fire back into a private fire investigation because he it investigation firm because he it got off, of all things, fire. but so i'm i'm really pleased. i didn't expect i didn't expect it to be a but i'm no expert but apparently it's just resonate with people. well you never know. and obviously also in this week when there's a lot of political stuff going around the fires service and all this stuff, it's quite nice to, to, to just take a step back from that and understand what it is to and see it to put yourself in what you one of those kids who went out to be a farmer. but you are . but you do grow up like

are now. but you do grow up like it's amazing to think i never i neverit it's amazing to think i never i never it was what i wanted to do . i lived in the east end, which was very busy for fires with the old derelict docklands and things like that. so i use lifting on the 11th floor of a tower block in limassol overlooking the river or canary wharf and all that. but as a kid, i used to stand there looking out the window at these warehouses, burning . and i warehouses, burning. and i really loved what we did. a school nurse revisit to the fire service from one of the fire stations. that was eventually in command of. ironically, i ended up in command of the area where grew up. and i was could never talk me out of it. i'll think maybe around the time of the falklands i wanted to be a helicopter pilot for a few weeks, but i just never dropped it. then 18 i was in, it. and then 18 i was in, i wanted to join and i can just imagine going on holiday with you. like, try it, you. you're like, let's try it, let's give a go. we all have let's give it a go. we all have to do is jump off top over the cliff. we land totally. volume will be all right. my all i'm

obviously going to into obviously going to get into really yeah fire really serious matters yeah fire bngade really serious matters yeah fire brigade institutionally brigade is institutionally misogynistic. it's brigade is institutionally misogynistic . it's very, very misogynistic. it's very, very worrying . yeah. i how do you worrying. yeah. i how do you feel about that? i don't, i don't recognise that london wall. i don't reckon i power racist. i know but if you so i don't know i was , i was a white don't know i was, i was a white man in the fire service and i was also with a lot of people , was also with a lot of people, you know, and i was a senior officer. so probably there was a little bit of like the king with the king of i smell was fresh paint. so wherever i went in my station side, i was quite down with the crews in the boxes. i was quite close to the people i work with. the biggest fear of firefighters in my opinion that they would lose their job because it's always there that you would lose your job for being racist, for being sexist. so i'm not. how long are you going back there? someone might say when did this when did this movement say you're talking about people that put out fires for a living. now, that can come

from a woman's heart, a man's heart. anyone's heart. i want to save . yeah, doesn't save lives. yeah, it doesn't matter. and you know, certain institutions going have institutions are going to have more need and more male driven need and certainly institution is going to more driven need . when certainly institution is going to more notice driven need . when certainly institution is going to more notice the ven need . when certainly institution is going to more notice the sortneed . when certainly institution is going to more notice the sort ofed . when certainly institution is going to more notice the sort of this nhen did you notice the sort of this kind of stuff infecting that ? kind of stuff infecting that? it's been it's been a long while in more than 20 years. i mean i mean, between i'm training for to recognise that it so i'm not saying it isn't an issue i didn't i don't reckon i think what we've got is the report's been put together by london brigade for a reason and i've not read the report because i'm nothing to do with london fire brigade anymore. it really upsets me that they believe that. but i think probably my analogy, you get a spider analogy, if you get a spider expert go into the garden and expert to go into the garden and look is going to look for spiders is going to find spiders. he might not find spiders. and he might not say bumblebee bees and the say the bumblebee bees and the flowers. the pretty flowers. i know the pretty thing. that might be an thing. so that might be an analogy . if thing. so that might be an analogy. if someone's thing. so that might be an analogy . if someone's to analogy. if someone's gone to look something, i'm not look for something, i'm not saying exist one saying it doesn't exist for one minute, if you've looked for

minute, but if you've looked for something, to find something, you're going to find it i've said i'm not it because i've said i'm not saying hasn't happened, but saying it hasn't happened, but isn't the london fire brigade, they good people generally they were good people generally speaking, and lots of speaking, under lots and lots of firefighters because it a firefighters because it was a vocal mission for me. i was quite well known because because of the time i served and the area i worked and the area i covered basically and i never found they were always pockets of trouble and believe there always will be bowheads in trouble. and some of the unfortunate part of my job was doing the job. i was occasionally people came up in front of me for disciplinary offences and they dealt with with swiftly and so would you apply with swiftly and so would you apply the same level of said you were still in the job today. would you apply this exactly same rules today as you did then. yeah, absolutely. because then. yeah, absolutely. because the common sense is that what we're talking . yeah, there is we're talking. yeah, there is now so it's all about doing the right thing for the people who pay right thing for the people who pay your wages like the public. that's one of the lovely things here from a public servant. yeah. that's you that was

yeah. that's you know, that was always said to trainees always what i said to trainees a basically every time i sat down with a new recruit or trainee outside , they my expectation outside, they my expectation from is, do you expect? from you is, what do you expect? where, where do live? and where, where do you live? and they say, i live in romford. they say, oh, i live in romford. what from the what do you expect from the firefighters romford if your firefighters of romford if your house i expect house is on fire? well, i expect they get there quickly. they're well trained. they can they well trained. they can do. they said, know , and, you know, said, you know, and, you know, if are stuck in the if your kids are stuck in the back they go and back bedroom, they go up and rescue because that's what rescue them, because that's what we're to do. if we're asking you to do. if you're not interested, don't do the job. but that's what we want. i said, brilliant. i'm want. so i said, brilliant. i'm glad understand that. so you glad you understand that. so you understand the people understand that for the people of a.m.e. which is the of hackney a.m.e. which is the boroughs, they boroughs, i cover, they expect that that's the that of yeah, that's the contract. contract contract. that's the contract you've more or you've got. yeah. maybe more or less misogyny reports. yeah. so yeah. less misogyny reports. yeah. so yeah . so it comes from somewhere yeah. so it comes from somewhere without but it's not. i don't chase.i without but it's not. i don't chase. i don't reckon i say that, but of course i don't recognise that because i'm guess you're a diplomatic man who's done a lot with your life and we should be grateful to you every day. thank you. so, so , so much.
