also set to be hit by disruptive nurse bus , royal mail and border nurse bus, royal mail and border force strikes this month. so i'm asking all the unions at fault for striking in run up to christmas. is it now time them to compromise and make a deal or is the government at fault for not meeting their demands to debate this topic? i'm joined by sdp member hilary salt. hilary, thank you very much for joining us on. your saturday. all the royal unions being selfish by disrupting people's christmas plans this surely people plans and in this surely people should be able get respite should be able to get respite and allowed to enjoy in peace and be allowed to enjoy in peace . i don't think any strikers take any pleasure in having destruct holidays or cancelled operations and strike action is always the last resort workers. you know, it's a gamble for them. there's no guarantee that they'll win. they lose pay that losing pay in the run up to christmas as. well. so you have to accept that they will only do

this as a last resort. and they do it because they are facing a really cost of living crisis . really cost of living crisis. we've got cpi running around 11% now, which that you'll get an a pay now, which that you'll get an a pay rise of less than that you're taking cuts in your living standards. and it feels to me that it's wrong to expect workers to pay for the domestic . and at the moment. sure. but i mean, we're on less money of inflation. we're all struggling. right now. lots of people out there, especially actually the people who are being brought in to fix this mess. you know, the army are going to be having to work throughout they're on work throughout and they're on much the people who work throughout and they're on mwstriking the people who work throughout and they're on mwstriking and the people who work throughout and they're on mwstriking and beingeople who work throughout and they're on mwstriking and being offeredio are striking and being offered much less than the people who are striking surely a compromise has be if the government has to be met. if the government is at 8% increase, is offering at 8% increase, surely a decent of money to surely a decent sum of money to accept get on with the job. well, i would say that if you look at the facts, when we last had very high rates in the 19705, had very high rates in the 1970s, what happened then was that the disposable income workers actually actually rose .

workers actually actually rose. and the reason that we could do that was because we could improve productivity across all industries and really is the solution to this problem . solution to this problem. solution isn't just for the workers to take. what was livingstone's words, it's just to find a way to really drive forward a product activity and innovation and rebuild britain and that's the thing that we need to be concentrating on rather than blaming workers. okay, but what does that mean, hilary? first of all, what ? you hilary? first of all, what? you said this is the last resort. what are the other resorts? what are the other meetings or , are the other meetings or, techniques that have taken place? so fall? what has gone on to get to this point of the strikes over christmas? because i remember the unions said we will early december , will strike in early december, but we won't strike over the christmas period . and seem christmas period. and they seem to back on their to have gone back on their words. like to know words. so i'd like to know what's that take. i work what's to make that take. i work , i want to clearly not speak for of the individual trade for any of the individual trade unions involved, but i'm upset, certain they will have certain that they will have tried hard reach any tried very hard to reach any settlement. don't like settlement. they don't like their members losing pay, which

is effectively what happens . is effectively what happens. workers go out on strike. it's not the kind of no lose situation for them that they're the first people who actually feel that they couldn't exit the strike by having a lower pay packet . so, you know, it's not packet. so, you know, it's not that i think it's wrong to give the suggestion that that they're doing this for just just purely reasons. and let's not forget these are not people striking in industries that work perfectly well. these are all failing industries. and you know, workers are not just to improve their pay to entice to but to draw to the real ways in which those services are failing. the uses those services. does that strike but at the same time it might be an argument about pay and working conditions. it might, but we've also heard from the union bosses that actually

they want to depose the tory government and get a labour. and that strikes me as highly political . but i that strikes me as highly political. but i think that strikes me as highly political . but i think you've political. but i think you've got to draw a distinction between political announcements are made by union leaders, which, you know, they're entitled to, to have a political view and way in which they're running disputes because i don't believe that the disputes are really about changing the government. the disputes are about defending the working conditions and the living standards of that of their workers . and, you know, don't workers. and, you know, don't forget that it's not you can't just go out on strike the drop of a hat. there are really significant hurdles you have to jump significant hurdles you have to jump through for trade unions to take members out. they have to balance workers. they have to reach thresholds in that balance . they have to give the employer as notice of the action that they're taking . this really they're taking. this really isn't something that people just do without all that funding . and do without all that funding. and that's why when you say, you know, they announced that having

strikes and in december and january , they have to give that january, they have to give that level of notice . but at the same level of notice. but at the same time, hilary, we have heard that if they don't reach threshold, they will have another ballot. so it seems they are intent so it seems me they are intent on having strikes. people on having strikes. the people vote not or whether vote for it or not or whether want it or not. would to you. want it or not. i would to you. the estimates 15,000 the telegraph estimates 15,000 operations will be cancelled due to the nurses strike. now, is this more acceptable? because this more acceptable? because this is entirely different from railway strikes ? i think you railway strikes? i think you again nurses, i think are not take no pleasure in in terms and operations but but they do feel that they they need to take action to defend their workers that their living standards and also to draw attention to that to the real significant problems we in the nhs. i say , you know we in the nhs. i say, you know they are there will be uses of they are there will be uses of the nhs as well. don't forget, you know, their friends and families will also be amongst the people are frustrated by the action that they have to take.

but but it's really it's not fair to say , you know, workers fair to say, you know, workers should pay by cuts in living standards for our inability to, build our services in a decent way . so i don't think anyone's way. so i don't think anyone's saying , though i don't think saying, though i don't think anyone is against workers. i think people are opposed to strikes and. people are opposed to wielding , so much to unions wielding, so much power. that leads me to the power. so that leads me to the question of you think is question of who do you think is at for this winter of at fault for this winter of discontent. is the unions or is it the government someone else ? it the government someone else? i think many of these i think i think many of these questions look very short term the polling we've got. no, but i think you have to really look back over the last two or three or four decades where seen stagnant products . obviously, stagnant products. obviously, we've seen a failure to invest not just in public services but in things energy and food and. and we need an energy and food security and we need those a platform on which we can build our industries back . we can

our industries back. we can build our public services . and i build our public services. and i don't think trade unions are against improvements in productivity and improvements in industry that. you see at their conference called for a national commission for manufacturing and. it feels to me that that is something that the trade unions could work very cooperatively with employees on trying to find ways in which we can industries rebuild the of our great british workers and give them jobs that can produce kind of pay that will protect people's living standards . okay at the same time standards. okay at the same time we see a report in, the times estimates that 80% of flights could be cancelled over border force strike as well . so another force strike as well. so another sector striking or surely all of is going to undermine people's support for workers who are striking through unions. i just say again that i think it's really unhelpful to segment the workforce into know striking

workers and rest of the at the country because you know those striking workers will be users of all the other services and i actually think that's that's a lot of populous also that the strike because i was on the streets of events and this talking to people in advance of the by—election there asking people how they felt about some of these actions that's actually i find quite a level of public support because i think many people think that you know they're next in firing line for having their living standards attacked . that's an interesting attacked. that's an interesting perspective. i agree. i think most people are actually against the strikes because it's implementing . it's impacting implementing. it's impacting them in many ways of their lives over christmas. it's almost as if unions working if the unions are working together to christmas . so together to cancel christmas. so putting me also on the other foot, what do you make of rishi sunak's plans to bring in laws that will kerb the rights of nhs workers, firefighters workers, teachers, firefighters and force officials from and border force officials from

going on? well, i've mentioned already that we already have very, very significant barriers placed before unions are trying to implement strike action much barriers than in many other countries . and so increased countries. and so increased those even further feels to me quite wrong as a strike . unions quite wrong as a strike. unions do not call strike at the drop of a they very much use this as a last resorts and it's a big gamble for workers. okay. thank you for your input today. hilary salt, sdp member. really your time this saturday. plenty more to come this afternoon on real britain after the break. britain's health regulator has authorised covid 19 jumps in fitness as young as six months, opening the door for , opening the door for, vaccinating the country's youngest children . we'll discuss youngest children. we'll discuss that shortly. first, let's have a look at whether . many that shortly. first, let's have a look at whether. many dry that shortly. first, let's have a look at whether . many dry with a look at whether. many dry with some showers for northern and

half thousand participants . the half thousand participants. the approved job specifically tailored to this age group and will give a lower dose of the job than that in children aged 612 years. whether the vaccine will actually be used in infants will actually be used in infants will depend on the approval of the jsi. if we are to discuss this, i'm by dr. bharat kania , this, i'm by dr. bharat kania, senior clinical lecturer at, the university of exeter. medical school. i'm off to after the show, actually. thank you much for joining me today. dr. pang forjoining me today. dr. pang kania, do you welcome this announcement from. well, it's . announcement from. well, it's. we always have to keep a open mind . i look forward with mind. i look forward with anticipation to see what the deliberations of the joint committee on vaccines and immunisation will be . this is immunisation will be. this is interest 18 and we do not know all the answers are of note are that in some countries we've had very high mortality in, very

young children like brazil in developed , developed, developed, developed, well—nourished countries , like well—nourished countries, like western nations united kingdom. western nations united kingdom. we don't . we don't know what the we don't. we don't know what the marginal may or may not be . the marginal may or may not be. the jury marginal may or may not be. the jury is out. we really need to know more and we look forward to learning more about this. okay do you think that the 4500 it sample is big enough as a size? to be sure of the safety of the job in infants ? and what would job in infants? and what would you say to parents who are concerned about the safety of giving their infants children of covid giving their infants children of covm job? so giving their infants children of covid job? so on that matter, it gone through its own regulatory and scrutiny processes . and we and scrutiny processes. and we know that apart local side effects limited , we have not effects limited, we have not picked up any untoward side effects. further to that immunisation that much. we and of course when you start to

immunising other people which already going on in brazil venezuela emirates china hong kong. we will pick up more and more data every day. so that that that that number people in the trial and furthermore the number of people already immunised on a daily basis will add to our knowledge at this point in time. we haven't picked up anything which tells us that there are untoward events happening . okay. and what would happening. okay. and what would you say to people say that children very seldomly seriously ill from covid and in fact the fatality rates from the jab are slightly than fatality rates from covid itself . infants so from covid itself. infants so let me correct this. so agree with you that the illness, the fatality rates are very low . the fatality rates are very low. the younger age group. however, in children, babies young children who have got health conditions,

there is definitely a benefit of immunise . there is. there is definitely a benefit of immunise . there is . we have not immunise. there is. we have not picked up any benefits, i.e. know the vaccine post my child harm. we haven't picked that up all. so i really must sort clear that which is there no harm coming from immunising the child ? i if you ask me to find out what's your opinion what would you do? i would go along the following lines which if child has got any underlying other conditions, either genetic or neurological or some other condition that they are born with, i would want protect them because the evidence shows very clearly that they become ill were they to get infected . the were they to get infected. the other bit is a public measure, which is does this also reduce transmission to adults? and other vulnerable people in, the community? we think so , but community? we think so, but we're not 100% sure. okay. it

sounds like you're going along with the jacobs's original stance , that the risks of covid stance, that the risks of covid are so small , healthy children are so small, healthy children that it's not really worth it. and it sounds like you're suggesting that it's only if a child has underlying conditions, much like with an adult, child has underlying conditions, much like with an adult , that much like with an adult, that then they should. that's why they they want they should. whether they want to within reason colouring. to take within reason colouring. and i as , i opened my and i as, i opened my conversation with you which was this is interesting and we need to learn a more about it and also need to keep an open mind because that open mind is really important because covid has turned us many, many curveballs, many unexpected curveballs. i would say don't shut your doors , don't be rigid about it, but an open mind and keep on reviewing situation. okay. and i think we are keeping an open mind also involve looking at the excess deaths and unexpected cardiac arrests and the potential or contributing factor of them being the job until

proven . well of course. of proven. well of course. of course, carmen, we have that open mind. you know. course, carmen, we have that open mind. you know . we you open mind. you know. we you know, of course should. and we do. and i teach my medical. exactly. so that accident , which exactly. so that accident, which is if you don't look , how will is if you don't look, how will you know? so, of course, we don't want to cause any harm . don't want to cause any harm. but we do know that vaccine is by and large, for in all the infectious diseases that we immunised against to a great in preventing illness and harm and without a doubt, of course, you keep it keep your monitoring post—vaccine nation. otherwise, how will you know . okay, so we how will you know. okay, so we should stick with a risk benefit for each individual. thank you . for each individual. thank you. dr. bharat pankonin, a senior clinical lecturer at the university of exeter medical school. before we got to the news headlines, let's just have a look what you've been saying about today's topic on strikes. richard there's plenty of richard says there's plenty of support from public for the striking members of the armed . striking members of the armed. they want what every worker a fair deal and better conditions

make of his being placed on these blacklists were supposedly non—existent . calvin great to non—existent. calvin great to see you and good afternoon . it's see you and good afternoon. it's a dangerous trend that you're seeing. he essentially blacklisted or shadow restricted for, essentially warning on the bafis for, essentially warning on the basis science of dangers and harms children during the and now in hindsight you can see that he was absolutely right and the public never had an opportunity to his claims or his . they just weren't allowed even entertain them . and now one entertain them. and now one wonders how many people were in fact harmed of this policy. so this censorship is not just a political football game. it has real consequences on the lives of many people , not just our of many people, not just our freedom of speech, but how many people, many young students were mentally , psychologically harmed mentally, psychologically harmed by these lockdowns to say nothing of any physical harm could have been perpetrated because of this ? absolutely. and because of this? absolutely. and we've for many years now,

twitter saying there's no such thing as shadow banning . thing as shadow banning. however, in these documents we have seen there are trends, blacklists search blacklists, research abuse strikes and do amplify lists. so there are there are multiple different ways of shadow banning and essentially what we're looking at here is, you know, people will say, well it's a private company that can do whatever like, but it's not, is it? twitter is the public square. twitter is the public square. twitter facebook social twitter and facebook the social media the public media companies. all the public square age, if square of this modern age, if they censoring they are censoring people, especially and especially on the right and anti—establishment, are they not fundamentally changing the pubuc fundamentally changing the public what's going on. public view of what's going on. they and are abusing their they are and are abusing their powers because this point, it's clear that they are a public utility. now if i owned a public utility. now if i owned a public utility and i have restrict how much oil or heat you get because i don't like your politics, you would immediately recognise how unjust and unfair is. they're not just simply they come now with an extraordinary because of their influence and thank god now is exposing what everybody

had suspected at least from the centre to right about twitter and many other social media. i don't believe this just simply twitter. yeah so what do you make of elon musk's management of twitter since he took over ? of twitter since he took over? you know , from what i can see so you know, from what i can see so far, i'm quite impressed. you know, i believe interest initially with twitter , at least initially with twitter, at least with engaging with public opinion began when he clearly started to pressure to unionise tesla and recognise that there was place for him to essentially shape public opinion. it was all a one party, one voice monologue. so i'm glad that he tookit monologue. so i'm glad that he took it over. and i'm glad that he's framing it and getting rid of a lot of the dead. but more importantly, though , the real importantly, though, the real story for me is i want see just how far law political parties were involved. if they weren't great. but if there were, there has to be consequences because at point what we're seeing is breakdown of the separation of power in real time agencies are designed to protect our natural

rights if in fact it turns out that they're colluding one way or another. i don't know. i don't care. which party? left, right or centre? that's a very terrible and terrifying trend that could potentially become irreversible. so i pray for him. i wish him luck, but i'd like see him continue to expose and make twitter even more transparent . yeah, there are two transparent. yeah, there are two things you raise. they're rid of the dead woods has been fascinating . i believe he fired fascinating. i believe he fired 75% workforce and has not 75% of the workforce and has not just remained stable , gotten just remained stable, gotten better, which is astonishing . better, which is astonishing. also, the more interesting aspect for me at least, is the danger of law enforcement enforced treating twitter. and can you tell us a little bit about james baker, why he fired? is this a draining of the swamp ? well let's hope it's the beginning of the burning of the swamp. well, james baker, of course, fbi counsel and, he's essentially a democratic operative. was involved with the hillary campaign. he had managed or played a role in or at least played a role in managing, which we now know, a complete hoax. the russian misinformation . and then

misinformation. and then suddenly he's counsel that twitter when elon had taken over twitter when elon had taken over twitter and promised to unload the twitter files, it turned out baker had allegedly been censoring and sanitising it. and so upon hearing that fired him . so upon hearing that fired him. so what again , i think so what again, i think politicians in the united states be asking is he leave the fbi? was he reassigned , took to was he reassigned, took to twitter? what exactly is his role? how comfortably close or unclosed was he to his former bosses there? it's pretty obvious that when your boss tells i want transparency released this if you start sanitising that now, then you and i would both be fired as well. absolutely. i wish i had more time. i'd love to ask you about hunter biden's laptop, but dr. habib, dr. kaleel habib, where can people out information people find out more information about wonderful work you're doing at hillsdale college? well, kind of you. well, that's very kind of you. just college. just go to hillsdale college. just go to hillsdale college. just google it. and i'm listed under politics department where i political philosophy for

i teach political philosophy for the undergraduate graduate program. alvin it's an honour to be with you. thanks for having me. the pleasure's all mine. thank much for your thank you very much for your time now report time today. now a report from the telegraph alleged an the telegraph has alleged an anomaly in the welfare is fuelling britain's jobless crisis by encouraging people to work to just days per week. if people earn a certain threshold, their universal credit payments are tapered providing an incentive to, not work more days. the anderson, the conservative mp for ashfield has raised the issue with the chancellor and said that jeremy hunt says listen very carefully to what i had to say and i'm convinced that he will act on this unfairness. well done it. we've found one. we've found a unicorn conservative within the conservative party . joining me conservative party. joining me right now is the man himself, lee anderson, mp from ashville . lee anderson, mp from ashville. lee, thank for giving us lee, thank you for giving us some your on this some of your time on this saturday. i the football's saturday. i know the football's on very you on or starting very soon. you this issue two years ago and said you were ridiculed by the left the mainstream for left and the mainstream for media you feel vindicated media so. do you feel vindicated now. i do a little bit calvin

but you know it's in progress. there's a long way to go on this, but i spent many, many years working for the cities bureau in ashfield, advising on benefits and helping people with the of fame. that's the benefits of fame. and that's when i saw this anomaly as when i first saw this anomaly as . you rightly call it actually this system we've got is so unfair when we've got people like the telegraph reporters getting over 40 grand a year not paying getting over 40 grand a year not paying any income tax, by the way , about 30 grand, that comes way, about 30 grand, that comes in the form of universal credit . and i've got people in ashfield and 25, 30 grand a year now doing the everton work six or seven days and actually income tax the same income tax that goes to pay people who's getting 30 grand on universal . getting 30 grand on universal. the got pensioners getting about 8 to 9 grand a year state pension. but i would say people on land scale 16 hour a week jobs breaking in 40 grand not paying jobs breaking in 40 grand not paying income tax. that's not. and it needs to change . now, and it needs to change. now, i don't understand it. i thought the whole purpose of the welfare system was a safety net to stop

people from falling through the of society, to stop them being homeless surely homeless and starving. surely people should always be better off working getting out off from working and getting out and from on and contributing than from on benefits delivering it benefits at home, delivering it issued covid. i mean welfare state was created in 1948 by by the labour party . five plays of the labour party. five plays of that. but it wasn't meant to be a way of life. it wasn't meant to subsidise wages. it wasn't to allow firms to recruit people on 60 hours a week and let the let the taxpayer top up their wages. it wasn't intended for any of that. was intended to help that. it was intended to help people when fell on people when they fell on difficult whether that be difficult times. whether that be a death in the family, a disability , an illness, a disability, an illness, a relationship breakdown . but now relationship breakdown. but now it to be way of for it seems to be a way of for millions of people up down millions of people up and down the country the people who the country and the people who are bill, the are footing the bill, all the just about managing families are doing every day, going doing the shift every day, going out the right out to work, doing the right thing, working full time, you know, abiding taxpayer know, law abiding taxpayer citizens, again, they the brunt of this cost . so what can be of this cost. so what can be done about this? how can the system be reformed to make it

fairer for and provide the right incentives, get to work. what we need, we need to readjust the cap know. and the first cap know. and that's the first thing need do. we know. thing we need to do. we know. the is far too generous. and the cap is far too generous. and we look at london , know people we look at london, know people are foreclosed on what are getting foreclosed on what the the normal the people on about the normal gap actually is about 24 grand believe if we can bring it back to two that and that's still generous you know 24 grand of taxpayers money going to people's bank accounts of it . people's bank accounts of it. that's more than generous. but we need to reduce that cap and it's probably got to taper chip to taper again make sure that people cannot , you know, stop on people cannot, you know, stop on entry level for 20 year entry level jobs for 20 year and a minimum wage , break it in 40 a minimum wage, break it in 40 grand a that's fair. if grand a year. that's fair. if i'm i'm lucky to tory. i'm honest, i'm lucky to tory. but when i'm talking to my residents constituents in residents and constituents in ashfield, i can say our work seven days a week, they get nowhere 40 them and the nowhere near 40 them and the income tax while . well income tax while. well absolutely i think there's a million job vacancies. right now, 5.3 million people out of work . should we not do something work. should we not do something like we've seen in other

countries where if you don't accept the first job you're offered, your benefits are cut? all right. listen, kelvin i mentioned this before i got elected and got in big trouble. they calling me, a nasty they were calling me, a nasty tory. criminals tory. i suggested that criminals should work and pick fruit should go to work and pick fruit and vegetables and i suggested, you we've got labour you know, we've got labour shortage, as you quite rightly say, million vacancies. lot say, a million vacancies. a lot people not doing anything hanging street all day. hanging around street all day. they should be benefits they should be getting benefits , know, we should be , you know, we should be contributing towards and this this system and anomaly , as this system and this anomaly, as you call it, you know what children in a household, when they parent like in 6 they see a parent like in 6 hours a week and getting 40 grand a year when they get to 18, probably to think 18, they're probably to think i'm that. there's i'm having some of that. there's no a decent no point in getting a decent education no point in education there's no point in having aspiration. no having an aspiration. there's no point full time that point in working full time that is not good for the country. no. fraser nelson in the spectator has argued that this is due to lockdown might be lockdown and might be a contributing but don't think contributing. but i don't think that's because i grew that's fair because i grew up not far from where you are the mp and when i growing up my mum worked jobs and people were

worked two jobs and people were on benefits making more . my mum on benefits making more. my mum was that's what made me was and that's what made me a conservative, seeing the unfairness system. so unfairness in the system. so been been this been around. it's been this way for why is that? for a long time. why is that? yeah yeah. ignore fraser nelson . people do care if i'm upset. they only know it's all about aspiration until we've created a society where you can get as much if , not society where you can get as much if, not more money working 16 hours a week or not even work in at all. and that's absolutely awful. and your mother is just like mothers in nashville two months away from your did work, two or three jobs, you know, had three jobs before to put food on the table the rent, to the table to pay the rent, to pay the table to pay the rent, to pay the mortgage. that's what we're country . we we're doing in this country. we cannot society where cannot become a society where people work in hours people just work in 60 hours a week 40 grand a year at week and 40 grand a year at expense of the of the taxpayer this country. it is not fair. it is got to stop. and other people saying thank you for saying this is thank you for doing that. what do you think of jeremy hunt city reforms? will it help make us a more prosperous well, hope prosperous nation? well, i hope so . i also kelvin, i'm not sure. so. i also kelvin, i'm not sure. i think the jury's still out on

that. you know, about a couple ofjobs that. you know, about a couple of jobs pyjama since he became the chancellor he's a steady paragons added the benefits issue with him two or three weeks ago . it's something i've weeks ago. it's something i've been raising since i got in parliament raise parliament to raise it previously with the dwp. they did the same to know what was talking jeremy this talking about. but jeremy this it this , but we've it understands this, but we've got give i know he got to give him time. i know he claims criticism, but give claims some criticism, but give him time and i'm sure while torchwood it'll be okay and that you know we're on that is a tncky you know we're on that is a tricky time at the moment kelvin at this country with the economy everything to be going out to all once in a way it's really all at once in a way it's really difficult for government. so i want interested in. okay, want to put interested in. okay, fair enough. what would you suggest is the one thing you would or policy you would change or one policy you would change or one policy you would to things back would implement to things back around next around in time for the next election ? you election? oh, you mean financially? yeah financially? economically, yeah . i saw this benefit . benefit . i saw this benefit. benefit things. are it really great? i mean, this this story, this morning, broken disorder exploded and people's shock. horror, but now this has been going on for years, kelvin. this as you know, is something people

just ignored and go on some of the forums. you know, like i, say, when i went to sit up, i'd be out. i've got people coming in advising on benefits. you know, people in this country are not stupid. they know the benefits out and benefits system inside out and know and they know know the loopholes and they know how they can rake in a lot of cash while next door neighbour is hours a week is going to work 40 hours a week to it's fair. to say it's not fair. absolutely. thank you for all of that keep fighting the good fight see you soon. fight and hope to see you soon. lee anderson, conservative lee anderson, mp, conservative for , a spokesman for for ashfield, a spokesman for the department of and pensions, said this universal credit said on this universal credit offers a vital safety net to millions of people, enabling them to support themselves and their while moving their families while moving towards independence towards financial independence through work. it said . the through work. it said. the examples highlighted in the telegraph's report were selective but not representative and do reflect the wider and do not reflect the wider working scientists in the universal credit system incentives which we continue build on. this includes in the autumn statement that over 600,000 more working universal credit claimants will be required to meet with a

dedicated coach to increase their hours earnings . harry and their hours earnings. harry and meghan have finally been able to tell their as the bombshell netflix series was released this week . in the first three week. in the first three episodes of their six pots series. goodness me harry is at pains to highlight issue of race. while meghan calls that engagement orchestrated reality tv show and together they to paint a picture of the torment they've been caused by both the media and members of the royal family. here's a little taster. people need to understand as far as a lot of the family were concerned everything that she was being put through they've been put through as well . so it been put through as well. so it was almost like a rite of passage. and some of the members of families like cry. but my wife had to go through that. so why should your girlfriend be treated differently? should treated differently? why should you special treatment? why you get special treatment? why should protected ? and i should she be protected? and i said , difference here is the said, difference here is the race element . pull me, said, difference here is the race element. pull me, pull me ,

race element. pull me, pull me, pull me another formal royal correspondent, michael cole, joy joins me now. first of all, michael, thank you for us on this saturday. what were your general thoughts of what meghan and harry had to say in this series? good afternoon. and could i just from your previous very conversation, did i understand you come from mansfield in nottingham ? i do mansfield in nottingham? i do indeed, yes . mansfield in nottingham? i do indeed, yes. born and bred. well, i, i started as a trainee reporter at the mansfield chronicle, advertised . on the chronicle, advertised. on the 16th of february, 1962, and it was a snappy day. that was 66 years and nine months ago. we won't talk about mansfield at. well, the hollywood , too. and well, the hollywood, too. and this six part series is on netflix at which they've thrown many, many millions dollars. well, it's very slick. it's very

glossy . the performances of , the glossy. the performances of, the two principals are polished to a nice shine . and as a vanity nice shine. and as a vanity project for two pampered people, it could hardly be improved upon. but what does it tell us? not great deal. we don't know who is . in fact, the revelation who is. in fact, the revelation nafions who is. in fact, the revelation nations that were promised the bombshell that were promised. and also the hints of a contained the trail that were put out. none of that has actually been realised and essentially it's a little bit of a one note sussex samba and what we're hearing is we're they're wrong . well wonderful there wrong. well wonderful there horrid and as you say it covers the ground and there as you also highlighted this rather unfair

fortunate smear of the holders or the role of family of racists . and that is not unjust . it is . and that is not unjust. it is preposterous . and i i'm sorry to preposterous. and i i'm sorry to hear that, because it's the worst way of playing the race card, because the allegation is made. but there's no substance to it. who said it when they said it? what the circumstances. because in that in that case a person cannot answer back, cannot it cannot refuted and is very, very difficult in science and in the normal world to prove and in the normal world to prove a negative. so i'm they played that. they're all three more episodes to come and maybe they will be a little bit more to the point the but rather to look at. but it doesn't actually tell us

a great deal . but it doesn't actually tell us a great deal. i want to challenge you on that will michael because very rarely disagree with you but i thought it was very poorly made i thought it was a lot of iphone footage. i thought, you know, we better on that on better documentaries on that on the than did on the channel than they did on that with massive netflix that with their massive netflix budget. i surprised to budget. i was i was surprised to see content had been see how much content had been filmed they even struck a filmed before they even struck a deal with netflix as well, which made their made me question their motivations. where motivations. but i think where you is this racist you are on the is this racist allegation throwing there allegation throwing it out there but of muck to throw at but a bit of muck to throw at the palace because i'm a correspond but also there were no clear as to who what or no clear as to who said what or what actual charge of what what the actual charge of racism was. it seems to me that they're painting themselves as victims above victims order to be above reproach painted as reproach in, to be painted as the guys and anyone else, the good guys and anyone else, the good guys and anyone else, the you think the bad guys. do you think that's true? what i actually what? any allegations in there that could proven? i can't that could be proven? i can't think anything. well, think of anything. well, what was ? the evidence. there was no was? the evidence. there was no evidence was a case where. the only thing that was put forward was princess michael of kent, who i happened to know quite well . she went to a royal event

well. she went to a royal event and she was wearing a brooch a jewel brooch with a which was a figure of a black for, i think , figure of a black for, i think, 18th century and. it was pointed out that this was a fashion faux pas and she took it off . meghan pas and she took it off. meghan never saw it. that's let's be absolutely clear about this. who actually highlighted this was happening. it was press and possibly the press is the organisation, the media media. harry hates the mean . he at a harry hates the mean. he at a very young child he was putting his tongue out of photographers . his mother princess diana used to tell him off for doing it. and so from a very early age was against the media. and that's now grown into full blown hatred. and so he's he says, sorry really weird things because he accused the royal of sort of being mouthpieces for the palace magazine to see it

really as it is. i hope at some you can make up with his brother, but i can't see happening. thank you so much for resources. i think we i think we've strayed into your territory. the biblical , we've strayed into your territory. the biblical, you know, cain and abel . territory. the biblical, you know, cain and abel. i think you're right. unfortunately but let's pray on that. thank you very much. michael cole. i did not know you had a much more background, so cheers for that. you are watching real britain. is your latest weather forecast. sister to this sister looking ahead to this afternoon in the is looking cold but dry most although wintry showers continuing at some coastal areas . let's take a look coastal areas. let's take a look at the details . staying dry with at the details. staying dry with plenty of sunny spells for much of scotland today, but snow showers continuing central and eastern areas . it's getting very eastern areas. it's getting very cold with moderate winds. showers persist across eastern northern this afternoon with sleet or , snow in places. some sleet or, snow in places. some brighter at times, but feeling very cold. a cold, cloudy for north western england with a risk of some wintry showers over

continues, could it reform uk , continues, could it reform uk, the conservative party as the nation's largest right wing party? sounds a bit like a pipe dream . let's find out what my dream. let's find out what my panel thinks. joining me now is a former brexit party mep, ben habib , former conservative habib, former conservative london mayoral candidate shaun bailey and political commentator alex storey . shaun, what's your alex storey. shaun, what's your initial to this poll? look, the first thing to say, the numbers look bad and they are always bad for a government been in power this long. but i'd say this. there numbers will start to change when labour asks real questions . we had this questions. we had this conversation this week about opening a coal mine. it was interesting that labour wouldn't say if they would close that coal mine. and that's one example of the kind thing that will start to turn these numbers around when actually enter an around when we actually enter an election . and people election cycle. and people actually about who actually need to think about who they for and what it means they vote for and what it means in business. so this this in business. okay. so this this time it. but do you time to turn it. but do you think could have a big think reform could have a big impact election? say impact in the next election? say yes and no. so i'd say no

because 9% isn't as big as it sounds , of course, from reform. sounds, of course, from reform. have to start asking questions. they'll suffer the same attack as me. have lots as well reform for me. have lots of points that i'd like to be . of points that i'd like to be. but the point is they don't have broad enough appeal. the reason the conservative party have won so elections in so many elections in this country a broader appeal . you country is a broader appeal. you do an election by only do not win an election by only to when i in london, to your base. when i in london, for instance, everybody was surprised at how well i did, except me i tried to except me because i tried to have conversation beyond have a conversation beyond the conservative i think conservative party. and i think that the challenge for that will be the challenge for reform. and of course, if you're reform. and of course, if you're reform the you run is actually letting in by spreading the conservative out. and for all of us, our true conservatives in the party and outside of the party. a real worry. it party. that's a real worry. it a bit of a worry. ben, you are a member of the brexit party, which course has become . which of course has now become. do they're in a do you think they're in a position replace the position to replace the conservative and do have conservative party and do have concerns about the split vote. well, worried about the well, i'm not worried about the split. win elections split. you don't win elections being you go into being nervous as you go into them and i think this is less them. and i think this is less about reform than it is about a completely conservative

completely broken conservative party. sean mentioned the broad church nature of the party it's become. i accept a phenomenal winning election winning machine butits winning election winning machine but its pursuit of winning elections it has lost its ideology completely. we now have a conservative membership who don't trust the parliament party and vice versa. and the parliamentary party you've got at least two camps. there's the camp you might associate with traditional conservative values which believes in a small state, no taxation , you know, frugal no taxation, you know, frugal balance sheet and so on. and then have and i think this is then have and i think this is the of the conservative parliamentary party, the big state is interventionist borrow tax and spend and hunt and sunak firmly part of that latter group . and i'd go further actually , . and i'd go further actually, calvin. i would say that now it's no longer a matter of party politics. those members of the conservative parliamentary party who genuinely care about the national interest should leave

conservative party now because they are going to be obliterated next election. and you will get a thumping labour majority . the a thumping labour majority. the only way to prevent it is for those conservative mps who genuinely believe in conservative values to be elected again and the only chance they have of being elected again is by coming either as an independent force or by joining reform. because if they stay in the conservative party and, remember a lot of those red wall seats won with very slim majorities . they are very slim majorities. they are going to be obliterated . okay. going to be obliterated. okay. thank you, ben and alex, you seen as a blue, not a tory. you founded the bring back boris campaign , and i understand campaign, and i understand they've lost vote. now is they've lost your vote. now is that ? but i think the core that going? but i think the core question for everybody on the panel is, what does the conservative party actually stand for? if we move away from sales pitch and the marketing at the core of it, the conservative party is nothing other. a new labour party and i was struck when i started in my political

career , particularly in the career, particularly in the early 2025, in particular, when people cameron said they wanted to be the heir to blair if you think about everything that's been happening including on the financial britain's government spending and debt tripled since 2008 for instance. there has been no defence on the cultural wars. our schools are filled with critical race theory , with with critical race theory, with gender politics and all the like . actually, in terms of delivery , anything conservative? the conservative party has returned zero. now not saying that the reform party be the party that takes over , but the thing quite takes over, but the thing quite obvious is that a huge portion of the population this country is small c concern too. in other words, they believe in the rule of law. they believe in sound , of law. they believe in sound, they believe in the right to work and to keep a lot of the money that you earn yourself. at the moment, none of major parties that liberals the labour

party and the conservative offer any solace to of that broad segment the population so they will need to be some kind of alternative of the conservative party has died because it has sold soul to one of the worst prime ministers that we've ever had in this country. and that's tony blair, i think makes very good points there. i would throw that back to sean and say, you know, what have the conservatives achieved is conservative in the last 12 years when ? you ask us to speak years when? you ask us to speak it. i found myself nodding because agree with because i happen to agree with quite what you've said. quite a bit what you've said. and when talk and of course, when you talk about reform some of the about reform and some of the things reform i would things that reform one, i would desperately want them. but let's be as a politician, i sit be clear. as a politician, i sit here to you, how do you here and say to you, how do you win elections? is your win elections? ideology is your base and is your usual base backs and is your usual tactic is how win? and i'd say the changes you're asking for are on inside the are best on inside the conservative party. it's possible . i hope you're not possible. i hope you're not wrong . i'm sorry. i hope you are wrong. i'm sorry. i hope you are wrong. i'm sorry. i hope you are wrong . but. and i'd say you are wrong. but. and i'd say you are wrong. but. and i'd say you are wrong well, because look wrong as well, because you look at that has been changed

at a party that has been changed in hundreds of in many ways over hundreds of years. key thing is this years. but the key thing is this if i take the part of i do agree with you, we need to do something about we select, something about who we select, how what we speak how select and what we speak for. completely right. for. you're completely right. i think a party that's think we have a party that's lost confidence. many its lost its confidence. many of its mps tweets. they getting mps act of tweets. they getting rather than the conviction they have in their soul. my response would let's the conservative would be, let's the conservative party be more conservative let's give it the confidence to be conservative publicly. and here's challenge . here's the real big challenge. us inside and us all conservatives inside and the party we have to 2 to 2 battle that this this this culture war we have to we have to win there. we have to look who gets sacked, who gets employed . you have people now employed. you have people now who conservatives. you get sacked. it's of course you get mp who are cowards around that kind but sean it's kind of. but sean it's impossible fix the impossible to fix the conservative the vast conservative because the vast majority of tory mps will be standing and this is the parliamentary party. that's the problem. they're the ones who are basically socialist and only way to get rid of them is for either the conservative party to

be wiped out and then you get laboun be wiped out and then you get labour, which is worse, labour, which is even worse, which is one the fears that which is one of the fears that you all this is you expressed all and this is where it's really where i think it's really important mp are important those mp who are genuinely believe genuinely conservative believe all the things that traditional conservatives should leave conservatives do should leave the party. now they should stand either independents or set up either as independents or set up something new or reform , something new orjoin reform, but they are going to be a if they stay in the party, that kind pandemonium would kind of pandemonium would lead to for the next to a labour win for the next generation. you're going to get it. you're going a labour it. you're going to get a labour win, going to get a win, you're going to get a thumping labour of you. a labour win is not die do more things will be changed. i do agree there a massive job there is a massive to. job agree? do agree with agree? sure. i do agree with you. there's massive of you. there's a massive job of change needed. accept that change needed. i accept that it's within the it's not from within the conservative . if done conservative party. if it's done without do by the party without all due, do by the party and then labour. so i agree with and then labour. so i agree with a lot of what you're saying, both of actually. but sean, both of you actually. but sean, it to that the it seems to me that the selection and queue is selection process and queue is the do get that the problem. how do get to that point we already have point if we already have a parliamentary party that is already how do we do we not need to down benn's and

to go down benn's route and actually have major loss? actually have a major loss? i was let me show you the roots. i would say a conservative mp doing a second term who are elected today who are mp today, who are they're in the background because of this big statist agenda that's over everybody left, right where they need to be given the platform accomplices step forward. i believe that will be of a change to do things, a rescue. the to do two things, a rescue. the conservative party back conservatism and b, when the general election. okay, alex stood with the conservative party before i understand. would you do so again? you think you do so again? do you think you do so again? do you think you change it from within you can change it from within the party at its the conservative party at its has a fundamental. the conservative party at its has a fundamental . the reason has a fundamental. the reason why the permeation of the conservative party was so successful is because the tory party was had had was a jekyll and hyde type organisation in order to win a general election . it needed to be patriotic , . it needed to be patriotic, needed to talk about immigration , needed to be thatcherite, it needed to be churchillian but actually the roots of the

conservative party. we've got a historical . pre 1940s historical. pre 1940s conservative party which is the appeasing part of the conservative party and that's replicated in halifax , in heath replicated in halifax, in heath and in may and the reason why this battle for the soul of the conservative has been lost is because very often what happens is that the cowardly figures within the political structures congregate towards the centre and the more thatcherite and more churchillian go to the membership and speak about whatever it is that know the people to see in great britain. so this, this duality is the reason why the conservative party cannot stand. it cannot stand because the centre is internationalist organisation that doesn't believe in borders and we see it all the time. they put international law a domestic consideration since the moment you start to do this is the moment that you essentially say your country does not exist. and

don't forget the conservative party under heath is the party that signed the european act in 1972. the essential leigh put our parliament, the european commission , the conservative commission, the conservative party is done because philosophy it's compromised and it cannot stand in this way. the why we have so much problems, so many in britain and no delivery on conservative policies is because at the root cause. the or the remainers as it were are fully in charge and they've spent the last eight years permanent thing all the institution of the british state. absolutely and then i'm going to raise a question you, ben, to wrap up, because i do think alex is right, this become right, is this has become between the globalists versus the nationalists and now even the nationalists and now even the nationalists and now even the nationalists have the word nationalists have become point, become derogatory. this point, therefore, people don't want to stand for. we've had an stand up for. but we've had an 80 majority and 80 strong majority and a conservative government around 62 less that. and 62 or even less than that. and they through immigration they to push through immigration policies which know to be the policies which we know to be the number one or one of the top concerns of. most people in this

country, they haven't managed do it. do you it. is it because, ben, do you think the globalists have been winning because of winning or is it because of incompetence within? it's incompetence from within? it's both. . it both. it's globalists. it was that to me . yes, yeah, that question to me. yes, yeah, yeah. it's both incompetence and globalism , you know, the fact is globalism, you know, the fact is you don't out the immigration problem by deportation laws . you problem by deportation laws. you only deport you only have to deport people when border control has ceased to function. we don't have a border. we simply do not have border control, border force access , a control, border force access, a glorified taxi service to welcome these people at the point of our territorial waters and bring them back to the uk. the conservative party's completely broken is completely broken alex is absolute right. this cannot be fixed from within. it is utterly divide is in itself. there are going to be thumped in the next election. whatever happens and what the conservative mp who really have the national interest at should be thinking is how do we back into parliament? so we can prevent the labour party from having a thumping making thumping majority and making things is not things even worse? this is not down reform the vote. is

down to reform the vote. this is down to reform the vote. this is down to reform the vote. this is down to conservative party down to the conservative party being so selfish that will not do the thing by the do the right thing by the country. you very much. country. thank you very much. that former brexit that was ben, a former brexit party mep . alex storey, party mep. alex storey, political sean political commentator sean bailey, former conservative and london mayoral candidate . plenty london mayoral candidate. plenty more to come this afternoon on real britain after the break we're being warned to prepare for a severe over christmas as train on border force strikes threaten to cause travel chaos. travel expert simon calder will be here to give you tips on travelling this festive period . travelling this festive period. but first is the weather . but first is the weather. looking ahead to evening's weather and the uk is looking cold but mainly dry. some showers for northern and western coasts. let's take a look at the details across southwest england , showers will ease for many inland , but will continue for inland, but will continue for northern coasts devon and cornwall and may turn in places. a cold evening with a widespread frost and mostly dry evening for southeast england, though the odd shower for far southern

going to be chaos. so we're just going to be chaos. so we're just going to keep running. the strike. then it's friday and saturday and then immediately after that ban or by members of the rmt who work for train operators, but not rail, then that's going to be a test later. they do attention. christmas 6 pm. there's a 60 hour strike p.m. there's a 60 hour strike which takes through to 6 am. on the 27th of december. well that one is aimed squarely at that's that's a wrecking manoeuvre. it's not aimed at your travel because there aren't any changes in my religion day. no, it's no, it's aimed squarely at scuppering it's aimed squarely at scupperin g £100 million worth of scuppering £100 million worth of works which are taking place over christmas . now, anyway, over christmas. now, anyway, people will know that rail engineering works often disrupts things right up until the 2nd of january. and guess what ? another january. and guess what? another strike , 48 hours on the third strike, 48 hours on the third and fourth, and then 48 hours on the sixth and the seventh, by which stage we're all going to be exhausted. but when they

well, there is lots of hope, actually. i know that is your business. and i'm glad . say, business. and i'm glad. say, i've brought some. so train operators , the government, operators, the government, everybody else is saying don't try and travel please don't stay away stay away . some of them away stay away. some of them like chiltern saying stay until basically a of weeks in the new year ignore that there are and i've surveyed all of this there's more trains running dunng there's more trains running during these strikes than they have during any of the previous national strikes which have been going on since june. okay so as long as you're wanted to go on one of the main into city lines , live in one of the big cities, then there's going to be trains between about eight in the morning and six in the evening. so for instance, leeds to london, seven trains each way, edinburgh to, london, nine trains each way. well, how about people that are flying right ? people that are flying right? oh, okay . well, you might be oh, okay. well, you might be flying to avoid the rail strikes, but you're not if you

welcome back to real britain on gb news on online and on your digital radio. a health ambassador is warning teenage girls need to be made aware of the reality of fertility and its time limits . the reality of fertility and its time limits. speaking at the annual conference of , the annual conference of, the fertility charity at progress educational trust, professor dame lesley regan said society it needed to do a lot more to prepare teenagers for adulthood , including spreading educational about fertility. magazine ads and on social media. joining me is the senior editor at culture and politics compact, nina . nina, thank you

compact, nina. nina, thank you for joining us today. compact, nina. nina, thank you for joining us today . can i forjoining us today. can i start by asking you , has start by asking you, has feminism contributed to many women having children later and some unfortunately not being able to? i think particular strands of feminism and share some responsibility, but i think we have to be this is part of a kind of more general liberal project, which suggests anybody can be anything which ultimately leads to a lot more unhappiness than a more realistic common sensical picture of what it's actually like to be a man or a woman . you know , and we live in woman. you know, and we live in a world in which people are encouraged to, quote unquote, become . but actually this become. but actually this kindness is having a very detrimental effect, i would say, on people's people's overall happiness . because if you tell happiness. because if you tell people they can be anything , people they can be anything, then there's a kind of limitlessness isn't true. and ultimately ends in a kind of disappointment in some . so

disappointment in some. so i think do we need to get back to the biological differences between men women but also the cultural differences between men and women. do we need to be talking husbandry and that kind of yeah i mean, i think of thing. yeah i mean, i think there's a question of what norms we want to celebrate. you know, we want to celebrate. you know, we we're to think we live in a post—christian culture. but really, if we if we centred the family. right. i would say that most people most men and women still want to get married and have children . right. this is have children. right. this is these are extremely normal, common and beautiful desires, shared by many. and i think we have a lot of younger people now who are being kind of not only misled on the question of biology, but also being held back for economic reasons or social reasons . they are kind of social reasons. they are kind of buying into this environmental message that says you shouldn't reproduce. it's for the planet and so on. and so i think we need to that look, it's normal and good in fact, to have

families and that family should centred in our images of the social order of what society is. that doesn't mean that we would treat single people or people without children negatively at. all that there's room for everybody , if you like. but everybody, if you like. but i think we have to be about what it is that we are, what we value collectively . and i think collectively. and i think families have to be at the heart of that. and this needs definitely kind of more realistic of what we biologies and how that plays out culturally . so there is it there culturally. so there is it there is a link undoubtedly . and i is a link undoubtedly. and i think we've we've kind of gone too far into this fantasy. i was going to say i was to ask, you need have we gone too far? because it seems me we've overcorrected in that we wanted to be welcoming, inclusive and, say yeah, course alternative say yeah, of course alternative lifestyles say yeah, of course alternative lifestylezgone to the point of actually gone to the point of being detrimental to hetero lifestyles and actually the fundamental is fundamental or family unit is the western and now the basis of western and now we're seeing it as a bad thing to want to be a homemaker or to want be a stay home mother

want to be a stay at home mother or want to be father and or to want to be a father and a protector. and these are seen as derogatory terms. yes. and i think we actually have to correct the historical record and that the nuclear family and say that the nuclear family is older than people think is much older than people think it we know they this it is. we know they have this leftist story about how a nuclear turns up at a nuclear family turns up at a certain point and industrialisation and if you read books like by mount, for example the subversive family is very clear that the nuclear family is actually the dominant mode of human social if you like it's much much older than the bible even you know it's an ancient way that we live. and this is to do all human nature. you know, this is this is the kind of creature that we all. and if we turn against that then are setting people up for unhappiness , as you know. are setting people up for unhappiness , as you know . and unhappiness, as you know. and again, i think there's that there's a different of understanding what it is to be . understanding what it is to be. and it's not the way that's being at the moment. you know, this this idea of be kind is actually extremely actually an extremely authoritarian message purporting be compassionate. you know and i

think we have to be saying to people realistically look, these are your options. you know, this how old you'll be when your fertility , you know, isn't as as fertility, you know, isn't as as strong as it once was . and it's strong as it once was. and it's probably better for if you want to have a family to do, you know, if you can find a way to do mainly where do we do that? because it seems to me that now we've come to a society where more and more women example say i want to have a career first, i want to go to university. i want to get a job, want to thrive in my career, and then look at raising a family. so when we have the conversation about that's you can't that's fine, but you can't always cake and eat it always have your cake and eat it and actually there a ticking and actually there is a ticking time there is a maternal time bomb, there is a maternal clock that is built you year. clock that is in built you year. when do we tell people this. well, i you know when teenagers start eat you know at start when they eat you know at school when schools talking about biology and sex education which by the is not the promotion of anything but rather just this of realistic this is

what it means. just this of realistic this is what it means . you have this what it means. you have this kind of body. that's what it means. you have, this kind of body and so on. i think it's not a bad idea to look. it's up to you. but this is how things are. and if you do think that you want your family, then you need to be thinking about it. and what need to have a wholesome what we need to have a wholesome that's making that's structured around, making it people have it possible for people to, have families encourage them families and to encourage them to so. if they if they choose to do so. if they if they choose to do so. if they if they choose to so. right. so i think , you to do so. right. so i think, you know, it's a very tricky balance, you know, in terms of saying this is reality . if you saying this is reality. if you want this, this is what you have to do. and not being cruel to people who don't for or con for whatever reason , you know. but whatever reason, you know. but i do think we also have to accept a degree of tragedy. you know, this is one thing the this is one thing that the current culture doesn't really allow that, well, allow is a sense that, well, sometimes can't get sometimes you can't always get what know, we have a what you want. know, we have a kind desire based consumer kind of desire based consumer society if society which says, oh, well, if you something, you should you want something, you should have it, right? and this just isn't true. know, we to we isn't true. you know, we to we need.

isn't true. you know, we to we need . to actually on the right need. to actually on the right track. we want. thank you. i think it's a breath of fresh air saying this. i think not only. should we present the options we should also present one as a good thing. and having a family is a good thing for society for all us stepping from all of us stepping away from this individualistic society that now. so thank so that we live in now. so thank so much for that. senior editor at contact nina power . contact magazine, nina power. before we move on, let's have a look guys have had to say look at you guys have had to say about the topics we've been discussing today on rice as i'm sick of all these various workforce is going on strike and ask for mick he on a self ego ask for mick he is on a self ego he wants to bring down the government any cost. it's all about political and the labour party have shown themselves to be completely toothless sitting on the fences. as always . on the fences. as always. absolutely it seems to me that the mayor of london, he was going to be the mayor of london when he was campaigning he said there would be no strikes in london. i'm elected and there'd be onto there were be more onto than there were under johnson. so don't under boris johnson. so i don't how the labour party can talk about being the party of no

strikes. me they're strikes. it seems to me they're in with the unions. on the in bed with the unions. on the possibility of infants receiving the jill says the pfizer covid jab. jill says i'm that no i'm concerned that we have no term safety data concerning injecting into children injecting this job into children until we can anybody until we that how can anybody say it is safe and effective? how can that indeed you. i think we should be very suspicious of anyone that says it is safe without medium or long without any medium term or long term data and the fact that children not susceptible to serious covid tells me serious illness covid tells me that we shouldn't really be looking jumping them with looking at jumping them with this thing in the first place. who's making it. that's who's making money? it. that's what should be or what we should be asking or making harry says making, harry jacklin says prince claims that he prince harry has claims that he is traumatised he a is traumatised time. he has a camera shutter and his trauma sparks fears his wife . he sparks fears for his wife. he didn't traumatised by the didn't look traumatised by the shutterstock at ribbon shutterstock home at ribbon awards where he was grinning like a cat . i awards where he was grinning like a cat. i do think there is something in that though. jacqueline honestly jacqueline i do honestly think he has a trauma he has a paranoia, has a trauma and understandable from his and it's understandable from his his late mother of what went through. think actually through. but i think actually meghan that trauma and she meghan on that trauma and she manipulates get what manipulates in order to get what she and that in she wants and we saw that in footage when was mocking our

footage when she was mocking our lights the queen. and with that focus in his face, the grimace , focus in his face, the grimace, he was cringing. and then the moment she starts to move her head up. he turns it back into, a smile again, almost as if he is afraid of a very weak, very beautiful. finally, on our discussion the discussion about the conservative says the conservative mark says the conservative is finished. it can't repaired it's becoming can't be repaired. it's becoming anti—brexit globalist tory anti—brexit and globalist tory wet mentality killed it and nobody with a brain possibly trust the conservatives with the country's future anymore . fair country's future anymore. fair points mark i've been a conservative voter support , even conservative voter support, even candidate for many years, but i don't know how i could trust them after. they've had 12 years in government the stonking 80 majority, and done absolutely nothing of any value worth fighting for in terms of conservative values. it's a great shame. thank you all for sending your thoughts and your and your emails to appreciate that with england and france matching up to a kick off later today , fans across the country today, fans across the country are praying that gareth southgate's squad can make it to

on journalist adam mcgee joins. me now aiden can they do it ? oh, me now aiden can they do it? oh, that city can do it. yeah, but france we feeling exactly the same. my fear is that too much resource has been placed . kylian resource has been placed. kylian mbappe . and the threat that he mbappe. and the threat that he provides or kylian mbappe is in scotland. scouts are calling that. there other guns all around the around the france pitch that all the world champions you mentioned just a few moments ago griezmann is playing very well. dembele stands like a £100 million player. they go well , what player. they go well, what winning goalkeeper tottenham's hugo lloris. so england ? so i'd hugo lloris. so england? so i'd say of those six players who could play in those three positions or fancy any three of those six to cause damage. my concern would be at the back of the defence and coping mbappe. but the world. the but listen, it's the world. the only from my point only issue is that from my point of england tend to of view, england don't tend to beat this calibre when beat teams of this calibre when they get to this stage and beaten france in a competitive, non international since non friendly international since 1982 that's before non friendly international since 198zbowl that's before non friendly international since 198zbowl the t's before non friendly international since 198zbowl the oddsfore non friendly international since 198zbowl the odds the

you bowl it what the odds the odds are i'm not i haven't checked the actual betting but in france to slight favourites i know that but that's that's normal they a team of normal they are a team of stellar performers i say they are european champions but are the european champions but on off game i couldn't i on a one off game i couldn't i can't really separate them obviously and the reason that the reason i'm going terms my the reason i'm going in terms my own i'm going for own prediction i'm going for extra know no extra extra time so i know no extra penalties in france taking on penalties. i'm that's not me being pessimistic. just being pessimistic. it's just how i it a as a reporter. i see it as a as a reporter. however, anything can all however, anything can happen all the go up the time. morocco just go up against against portugal. we saw some results yesterday some surprise results yesterday . against . croatia, a formidable against brazil , the determination not to brazil, the determination not to beat them , to go against beat them, to go against a narrative of brazil great, narrative of brazil being great, everything related as everything football related as croatia the equaliser then croatia got the equaliser then held the in the held a nerve in the in the penalty against a partisan penalty against a very partisan crowd . and then of course we saw crowd. and then of course we saw last night this argentina probably slight favourites and they got through that given a hell of scare when that hell of a scare when that holland got the two goals from them from the back also plays for the paper only lasted until two goals in 20 games but then produced his country. produced it for his country.

that's element which that's the other element which won cup in you see won the world cup in you see players is in great form players on this is in great form for country they just for their country they just become human beings when they put shirt of put on the shirt of their country. is france's country. what is france's playing style? this style is it's much the ball the ball it's very much the ball the ball on the floor . they get they play on the floor. they get they play three across the middle. they everything . i mean, you have to everything. i mean, you have to understand as well that it was tampered beforehand because tampered with beforehand because of that deschamps been there a long the coach they lost long time the coach they lost karen all to the karen benson all prior to the start start the tournament key player european of year for player european of the year for real lost pogba it real madrid. they lost pogba it was basically a manchester unhed was basically a manchester united player and whose other one to go cancer at some one to go to cancer at some chelsea. they've been dealt chelsea. so they've been dealt some the some real blows before the tournament. a testament tournament. it's a testament they've really they've got this far really although were they although they were have they were reliant only three were heavily reliant only three or three players scored all or three players have scored all that so far i think that go so far whereas i think eight players goals, we eight players scoring goals, we scored goals in games. scored 12 goals in four games. so think, know, in terms so i think, you know, in terms of momentum with these symbol flat do flat track, but police do nothing the teams are nothing to beat the teams are that lesser less is quite that are lesser less is quite a statement who will we face statement yeah who will we face we do get through what is the winner between morocco and

portugal portugal team we perennially against portugal portugal team we peren uplly against portugal portugal team we peren uplly at against portugal portugal team we peren uplly at a against portugal portugal team we peren uplly at a competitive build up france at a competitive level we've not played level morocco we've not played since 1986. that was a down nil no draw in mexico in the heat of. mexico, as i say, morocco one approaching we might one that up approaching we might just be at halftime so ask me an interesting half but interesting second half but let's far ahead let's not look too far ahead about respects if we about who in respects if we might we got huge huge might play we got huge huge massive game tonight i quite like story of like following the story of soccer his faith journey soccer and his faith journey and how reliant christ for how he's reliant on christ for his throughout the game. his his throughout the game. it's about ego. it's not all about his ego. i love kind of thing. yeah, exactly. i mean, was exactly. well, i mean, he was this suffered the this somebody suffered the i mean it's so tough for somebody of a penalty against of his to take a penalty against italy. that was only 18 months ago. now players recover ago. now some players recover from some players so from that. some players are. so gareth still seeking gareth southgate still seeking redemption 1963, redemption from you. in 1963, the bakary the management route, bakary sako back on sako has just come back on fire. i wasn't how you become i wasn't sure how you become that mentally, but not only is he going upward trajectory arsenal the arsenal are also top of the premier as we stand premier league as we stand at the moment we look ahead to the moment as we look ahead to the moment as we look ahead to the on boxing. but he's the restart on boxing. but he's also improved his england chances and again, if chances as well. and again, if he's among he's picked among those two front three then which
