radio. this is gb news time for mark steyn with mark dolan . mark steyn with mark dolan. isn't it great to have polly back ? britain isn't working back? britain isn't working quite literally. a new from the institute for public policy research has found that more people are off sick from work in the uk than at any time since record began and that long covid whatever that is. and mental health conditions are some of the biggest reasons why the number of working age adults who are out of the labour has risen to two and a half million. meanwhile, youth unemployment is up as well, with research . the up as well, with research. the excellent city and guilds in their youth misspent report

revealing that 13% of 18 to 24 year olds, a company and wait for it a further 3% are economically inactive. again down to issues like health . down to issues like health. that's almost a million young adults out of work and out of education across the uk. almost a million. meanwhile, 25% of young people feel turned from working for life altogether, with almost 10. that's too hundred and 27,000 people saying they never intend to start working . holy moley . now, working. holy moley. now, i always use this privileged broadcast platform to talk the country up. i love britain and our future is potentially glorious. but right now we're heading in a worrying direction . a relatively small amount of snow, for example , has caused snow, for example, has caused chaos in our great cities. and as i travelled through the capital on my motorbike on sunday nights , not the best mode

sunday nights, not the best mode of transport. i'll grant you. it was pretty clear that many of the roads, including main roads , had not been gritted , even , had not been gritted, even though the met office has been warning of snow for over a week. the public bodies that are responsible , things like road responsible, things like road gritting , seem to have joined gritting, seem to have joined the army of public sector workers asleep at the wheel or not even at the wheel at all. our infrastructure has been grinding to a halt for months now . try getting a passport now. try getting a passport application done or a provisional driving licence from the dvla . there's no godly the dvla. there's no godly reason why the pandemic should have stopped these things from happening, and there is certainly no excuse now . now, certainly no excuse now. now, there was heavy snow in parts of there was heavy snow in parts of the country but one school in zone, three of central london has been closed for the last two days. this afterjust a few days. this after just a few hours of snow sunday night and a bit on monday morning. they were closed today. of course , we've

closed today. of course, we've brought all of this on ourselves . we set the ridiculous precedent of closing schools dunng precedent of closing schools during the pandemic to curtail a virus that posed almost zero threats to children , young threats to children, young people. so if you indulge in that level of mind idiocy, don't be surprised when such madness prevails . the future . i've got prevails. the future. i've got no doubt that there are voices within teaching unions now that perhaps schools should just close for the rest of the year and break up early because it's and break up early because it's a bit cold. we put people in charge for two and a half years and their work shy hysteria now seems to shape public policy. back in the good old days, when the weather was cold, just got on with it. if it took hours , on with it. if it took hours, get to work. we didn't have the self—indulgent mechanism of work from home. people just cranked on the same with colds and even bad flus. yes. if were a wreck, you stayed in bed , but otherwise

you stayed in bed, but otherwise you stayed in bed, but otherwise you dragged yourself and you contributed to the economy. now one positive covid test, and that's a week off. even you feel fine, which most you will because covid the potential really nasty has always been a predominant mild virus. many are suffering worse with flu at the moment. and meanwhile , everyone moment. and meanwhile, everyone and their mother is planning strike action. nurses civil servants, ambulance drivers, you name it . now i servants, ambulance drivers, you name it. now i sympathise with all of them, but they are effectively the government to compel and save them for inflation . sorry, but it can't . inflation. sorry, but it can't. not only is the cupboard from the cost of lockdown crisis, but trying to beat with pay rises is like using a flamethrower to put out a fire. so the government to yield to these pay requests , yield to these pay requests, which i've got no doubt are justified . people are justified. people are struggling. well would effectively mean the government

fighting an arms race with inflation, something which history proves you will always lose. here is the painful the countries broke . we're running a countries broke. we're running a deficit, which means more goes out than comes in? and the national debt is 2.1 trillion. the international bond markets just won't let us borrow any more money . and inflation is more money. and inflation is high, which the value of our income and raises the cost of energy and essential goods. and there's nothing the government can do about it. how did we get here? well, we shut the down for two and a half years and paid perfectly healthy people to stay at home in what is my view , a at home in what is my view, a failed experiment to stop a virus. nonsense non—fatal to almost everyone we arrogantly printed half a trillion pounds thinking that we were such a rich powerful country that we could to do that. well it turns out we could not afford . out we could not afford. biggest. i told you so in history. but here we are . if we

history. but here we are. if we carry on like this. expecting the state to do everything or overestimating the spending power of this country, expecting to stay at home whenever there's a bit of snow, or if you've got a bit of snow, or if you've got a sniffle , if we carry on a sniffle, if we carry on feeling sorry for ourselves and calling it mental health , the calling it mental health, the country will continue to decline. people playing the mental health card does a great disservice to those who are truly suffering and, who deserve and need support for their actual mental health . the rate actual mental health. the rate of young men's suicide, for example, is an appalling tragedy and must be addressed . but with and must be addressed. but with and must be addressed. but with a million job vacancies , any a million job vacancies, any brits that can work need to. everyone's got to put a shift in because we are currently sinking deeper into the economic quicksand because of a deep misunderstanding about the role the state can play our lives, which has been wildly inflated by the pandemic. britain has embarked on a tragic race to the

bottom. if we don't up tool and toughen up and get back to work en masse and work hard long term irreversible decline . it's time irreversible decline. it's time to save britain from becoming crap country. but time is running out . what's your view on running out. what's your view on gb news dot uk? i'm delighted to welcome the leader of the sdp william christian for his reaction . hello william. i'm reaction. hello william. i'm mark. i'm worried about what's happening to the country. people are staying home in their droves. some are genuinely ill. some have genuine mental health issues . but i some have genuine mental health issues. but i think some have genuine mental health issues . but i think there are issues. but i think there are thousands of skydivers out there . i think it makes some fat about the what we see as the sort of collapse, postpandemic collapse and productivity . i

collapse and productivity. i agree with many of your points. people to get back to work. you look at the data on the number people in certain government departments that aren't actually turning up still very low. foreign office for fewer than half of the staff actually turn up to work . they're working from up to work. they're working from home. and i don't believe that you can work at home as effectively as can if you effectively as you can if you actually up. i think i agree with you. it's vital we get people back work as it is vital we deal with over 5 million people on out of work . but know people on out of work. but know i think that i don't agree with everything you say about the states role. i think the state has a role in training and some of these strikes that you see now are, i think, inevitable given the sort of macro economic conditions we have, the un produced data this morning that demonstrated that public sector workers a basically seen wage falls of over 8% in this last year. falls of over 8% in this last year . you've got to remember

year. you've got to remember that that's in combination with those households facing very, very high electricity bills, an energy bills, food inflation is running about 15. and you know, in those circum stances, not surprising with mortgage costs going up as well that the workers require a wage and you know on that we can agree i've mentioned in my big opinion monologue that i sympathise always with those going strike. they're suffering in real terms pay they're suffering in real terms pay cuts but that's the issue for those in the private sector . well. and you don't tackle inflation by giving people pay rises . well i i'd agree with you rises. well i i'd agree with you in if it were the case that inflation cause this round of inflation cause this round of inflation caused by wages pushing inflation up. but is not the case. not going not going to help william, is it? you know, this this this present rate of inflation , three basic causes is

inflation, three basic causes is both by sort of post—pandemic global supply chain issues , global supply chain issues, which has pushed prices up as supply has been interrupted . supply has been interrupted. it's been caused by inflation of pnces it's been caused by inflation of prices because of putin's . and prices because of putin's. and some extent it's also been a bit of a technical issue. it's been caused the combination during the pandemic of a government running very, very loose monetary policy, simultaneous with the loose fiscal policy . we with the loose fiscal policy. we shouldn't be surprised we get inflation after that. but it's not cause i would i totally reject the idea that this present round of inflation caused by wage increases . after caused by wage increases. after all the evidence data that we have today is demonstrated that real are falling . yes, but if real are falling. yes, but if everyone gets a pay then that will be inflationary surely it . will be inflationary surely it. but i would urge i mean , urged. but i would urge i mean, urged. it's strange the timing of this. it's strange the timing of this. i wish we had a government more, you know , in the summer the rmt

you know, in the summer the rmt was asking for 7. they rejected it. had they taken it, it would be a pretty good deal, actually and the problem part of the problem in not accepting that request from the army, so many of whom workers haven't had a pay of whom workers haven't had a pay increase in or three years, what if we don't actually have a government? we've had? secretary of state for transport in the last year says august you know so you've got no to negotiate with the system is a shambles . with the system is a shambles. you know who are who of the rmt anas sarwar have actually negotiating with. you've got three or four different bodies. you've got the government interfering. you've got 14 different franchise . the thing different franchise. the thing is a mess and i would say it's simply isn't worth resisting a reasonable pay demand from the rmt because patronage is falling , you know, patronage , the , you know, patronage, the railways is 20% lower than it was pre—pandemic when it when the railways are running on the macroeconomic cost of this is

just not worth it. so again, we have another example of the tories in a not the bigger picture, not seeing both sides of the tennis net. it's simply isn't worth it. they should settle . and briefly , william, settle. and briefly, william, the sdp a good on societal and cultural issues . we've got two cultural issues. we've got two and a half million people of working age that can't work because they have mental health issues or long covid or or other problems . meanwhile, 10% of problems. meanwhile, 10% of young people are suggesting in a recent survey that they may never work, that they may never even begin to. join the jobs market. this is a cultural issue and it needs to be tackled. we're all doomed. we i totally agree you and i'm glad you've raised it . we were sort of alone raised it. we were sort of alone in arguing that of our problems are cultural. many of our economic problems are actually cultural . and i think look at cultural. and i think look at the society . eric kaufmann the society. eric kaufmann produced a really brilliant

report on young people's attitudes to politics for exchange a couple of weeks ago . exchange a couple of weeks ago. some harrowing picture picture in that market of some of the data was astonishing . you know, data was astonishing. you know, something like 42% of young women feel anxious or most of the time my answer is that if you destroy the foundations of society , which a lot of society, which a lot of progressives have done , you progressives have done, you know, you remove i mean, we've got rid of religion. we don't attend church. we we've downgraded and deprived lives. the family. you get rid the industrial job has gone . we industrial job has gone. we shipped all those jobs abroad . shipped all those jobs abroad. and in that environment , the and in that environment, the sort of selfish environment, me first environment, this is doing as well as any country could even that and i until we get a party that is actually going to speak up for the traditional family, mum and dad bringing up their own, i think things will just get worse. to great have you on the show, william. do join us again soon. william bluestone is the leader of the

sdp . coming up, rishi sunak's , sdp. coming up, rishi sunak's, new immigration plan. will work. we'll be joined by the tory mp jonathan gallus who is on his way in a cab as we speak. he wants to get tough on immigration. and will this deal with albania do the trick? we'll get to that shortly. also eu caught up in a corruption scandal. surely not. and after this. households in north london are to have their access to heating hot water restricted to a few hours a day. what shocker. we'll investigate that .

next marked. ireland aim for mark steyn tonight , tomorrow and steyn tonight, tomorrow and thursday. welcome back to the show . lovely to have your show. lovely to have your company council and private tenants are having their hot water rations . is tenants are having their hot water rations. is this a worrying development ? we'll worrying development? we'll discuss that shortly. and an

outrage . corruption scandal in outrage. corruption scandal in the eu of all places. i'm so shocked. all of that shortly . shocked. all of that shortly. but first, let's get to some of your feedback. stephen says, blimey that's not the half of it, mate, in terms britain losing its work ethic, leslie says many people who joined the workforce 2020 and now used to taking lots of leave due to catching covid and isolating multiple times , they have never multiple times, they have never understood what real work is. the work ethic in same way that their older colleagues do. ben. voting tory is to blame. there you go to the point. my next guest won't be happy about that. and finally. yes we've gone down the drain says spade on twitter . keep those opinions coming , . keep those opinions coming, gbviews@gbnews.uk . now the prime gbviews@gbnews.uk. now the prime minister, rishi sunak , remember minister, rishi sunak, remember him? well, he's celebrating because he's outlasted liz truss and he's promised bring in new laws to tackle illegal immigration, telling today

anyone who comes to the uk illegally will not allowed to stay. he announced a new small boats force increase number of raids out by immigration officers . new sites, including officers. new sites, including disused holiday parks , former disused holiday parks, former student halls and surplus military sites to house asylum seekers. with 10,000 spaces identified , costing half of what identified, costing half of what the hotels cost. he's also going to double the number of asylum caseworkers with a promise to aboush caseworkers with a promise to abolish the backlog by the end of next year. and finally, he announced new agreement with albania to speed up the return of seekers to the safe . here's of seekers to the safe. here's what he had to say. he will embed border force in tirana airport , the first time ever airport, the first time ever helping to disrupt organised crime and stop people coming here illegally . second, we issue here illegally. second, we issue new guidance for our to make it crystal clear that , albania is

crystal clear that, albania is a safe country . third, one of the safe country. third, one of the reasons we struggle remove people is because they unfairly exploit our slavery system . so exploit our slavery system. so we will significantly raise the threshold. someone to meet to be considered a modern slave. lastly, we will change how we process albania and illegal migrants with a new, dedicated unit expediting cases within weeks staffed by 400 new specialists over the coming months , thousands of albanians months, thousands of albanians will be returned home and will keep going with weekly flights until all the albanians and our backlog have been . will it work? backlog have been. will it work? let's speak to jonathan inglis, conservative mp stoke on trent. mr. collins, welcome the studio. mark, how are you? i'm very well. great to have you on the show. the only policy that looks like will really move the dial is the albania policy. does what you've heard today go much beyond that? i think the albania

side of things is a really positive in the right direction to hear that we were only 45% of albanian cases , yet the eu albanian cases, yet the eu average is around the 98% mark. it's quite petrifying. the problem is, is correct that we should get to 100% mark and ultimately make those people who come from a nato eu country are returned immediately. and i think we all believe it when we see the first plane taking off and i'm sure there'll be plenty lefty lawyers out there hungry . lefty lawyers out there hungry. try and put it god knows how many appeals the fact many appeals in. but the fact that albanian prime minister that the albanian prime minister therefore that a safe therefore said that it's a safe country, the albanian country, fact that the albanian embassy minister over here at the that committee said there's no reason for people to come here to economic migrants. the fact you get wizz air fact you can get a wizz air flight fo r £28 as the address of flight for £28 as the address of my friend, as rightly pointed out, means that people out, means that those people choosing paying choosing to come here and paying £5,000 because they £5,000 or more because they don't present who they don't want to present who they are and these are at border force and these people to be gone. but the people need to be gone. but the processing is, of course, an important part. my concern with particular however, is we

particular thing, however, is we we're accepting about we're still accepting about seven ten go through seven in ten who go through that. i don't think the that. so i don't think the british will stomach 70% british public will stomach 70% of the 44,000 being approved to stay here. so whilst i'm glad we're to speed processing, we're going to speed processing, the rejection stop needs be dusted and on quite dusted off and stomped on quite a these cases and get a lot of these cases and get these hopefully to rwanda these people hopefully to rwanda as possible. if not as soon as possible. if not return to where they've come from. however, of this from. however, none of this happens. largesse of the happens. the largesse of the french government, that's french government, and that's surely little optimistic . i surely little optimistic. i won't lie to your view as well, because that's sound people and they know that we've spent around, what , £200 billion over around, what, £200 billion over last 5 to 6 years. and the numbers have gone up. and i know that minister in that the prime minister is in a difficult spot. he has build relationships with members across world. has across the world. he has to obviously maintain that professional so professional relationship. so i get much trickier get that he's in a much trickier spot am. to be much spot than i am. to be much frank, you be honest about frank, you can be honest about mr. macron so think mr. macron has turned a to i has turned a blind to this. i think that they're think the fact that they're being france as quickly as being very france as quickly as possible boats is possible and into small boats is something happy to just let something he's happy to just let carry and that become

carry on and make that become britain's a french britain's actually it's a french problem don't this problem if they don't stop this downstream is that, downstream all it means is that, you know, those northern french towns get destroyed, get taken oven towns get destroyed, get taken over, reputation, over, build a bad reputation, and the pressure and ultimately the pressure is then our border then put on our border force, our public our nhs, our public services, our nhs, our public services, our nhs, our school places. and it's just not right . so when it comes to not right. so when it comes to the good news is we can have british boots finally and british boots calais finally and i think that will be always a good wake up call for the french to actually see how the british operate. a lot more fish, not so get up and go spirits. and i think border can teach think our border force can teach their a thing or for their guys a thing or for example, sit in a jeep, example, we don't sit in a jeep, watch dinghy off. you try watch a dinghy take off. you try and stop the dinghy from going into the water. i mean, do into the water. yes. i mean, do we how of impact these we know how of an impact these measures it will actually measures will it will actually have? the have? because clearly the albanian going i think albanian is going to be, i think quite if you quite transformative. if you think that upwards of a thousand people have been arriving illegally across channel on illegally across the channel on a daily basis. they're not possibly eliminates a third of those people if . they're those people if. they're albanian. but what about the other 600 or so folk ? how many other 600 or so folk? how many of those will. well, you know,

those crossings be prevented , those crossings be prevented, what we've heard today. well, what we've heard today. well, what i like is that if you're landing here illegally, then parents create new legislation come then will come the new year, then you will be an be deported, which is an australian policy. isn't australian policy. isn't australia the country illegally? you asylum and you you will not get asylum and you will right return to will not have right of return to this country . try and this country. you try again and obviously you your right if obviously you lose your right if you and back a second you try and come back a second time. so i think this is a you lose those rights again to even try that, which going to try that, which is going to put you off boat on the you straight off the boat on the plane you go. these are plane and off you go. these are the of things we should the type of things we should have doing are now have been doing and we are now doing. i think we'll be use doing. and i think we'll be use it to people's ears. but again i understand the scepticism that some people say we've heard the talk see the action by talk actually see the action by will where he will give rishi credit where he ultimately not ultimately deserves. they're not the had with ultimately deserves. they're not the colleagues had with ultimately deserves. they're not the colleagues have had with ultimately deserves. they're not the colleagues have had! with ultimately deserves. they're not the colleagues have had with] ultimately deserves. they're not the colleagues have had with him him colleagues have had with him the level of detail he's been able to go to in the interim process. really has process. he really has devoted a lot and i think he lot of time and i think he deserves a lot of credit for making this a number one priority. me and making this a number one primyy. me and making this a number one primy colleagues, me and making this a number one primy colleagues, although nd making this a number one primy colleagues, although talk to my colleagues, although talk of flights to rwanda is surely a

little optimistic. have been little optimistic. have you been happy house of happy hour in the house of commons. well, all i would tell you, is tomorrow i'm you, mark, is tomorrow i'm introducing minute rule introducing a ten minute rule bill that we should be bill that says that we should be ignonng bill that says that we should be ignoring the european court of human we with human rights, as we did with prisoner years ago and prisoner all those years ago and the be going the flies should be going to around sovereign around to where a sovereign government added 2019. conservative party was elected to control of our to take back control of our laws, borders and money. laws, our borders and our money. so use week's worth of so let's use a week's worth of funding buy own plane. we funding to buy our own plane. we don't commercial don't get woke. commercial airlines trying to play party politics on twitter. let's get these people on after rwanda and offshore as possible offshore as soon as possible because of what's the european court they're court going to do. they're simply moan and groan simply going to moan and groan from in from their armchairs in strasbourg shouldn't strasbourg where we shouldn't be concerned about what they're doing all. of course, doing at all. and of course, this a blairite policy, this was a blairite policy, didn't that, think in didn't we saw that, i think in the term of labour the second term of new labour and. why you know, and. that's why we're you know, we got the sovereignty we haven't got the sovereignty with do what many want. with which do what many want. however it wouldn't be great for britain's reputation. britain's standing caring we standing as a caring if. if we do the european court do check out the european court of human. tell you of human. well, i'll tell you what, heard this britain's what, i've heard this britain's reputation so many times, and you we'd be worse than you know, we'd be worse than russia wouldn't if we

devil's in detail and the delivery for me delivery will determine for me whether we the trust whether or not we win the trust public. but i do know is a public. but what i do know is a labour with a shadow home secretary loves to hold signs secretary loves to hold up signs saying welcome. only saying refugees welcome. we only see boats. double, see those small boats. double, treble, labour time treble, quadruple labour time and leader who was elected and a leader who was elected only bring in movement, only to bring in free movement, despite attempt to despite his desperate attempt to try sound as tough on try and sound as tough on immigration as possible. the fact empty benches, fact that those empty benches, the today mark, the labour party today mark, they were all in the north islington child. labour is trying hide scoffing trying to hide away, scoffing down that corner. they're rather not talk soft not ashamed to talk that soft rhetoric, realise got rhetoric, but they realise got a leader who's trying to appeal to a section of voters they think are i say that the are racist. i say that the overwhelming you overwhelming charge in this you want they just want want racists, they just want control their borders, control of their borders, control of their borders, control they control their laws and, they just fairness. and just want fairness. and that's what we all want at end of day. well, it could be that those and peace getting ready but peace are getting ready for, but i your plan is to stop i know that your plan is to stop them. thank you so much for dashing across london to join us tonight. gallus, mp by tonight. jonathan gallus, mp by the constituency stoke the way, constituency is stoke stoke key north. stoke on trent north key north. we missed the crucial north. is there a south as well? central

big reaction to my big opinion monologue isn't working quite literally . peter says, hi, mark, literally. peter says, hi, mark, ihave literally. peter says, hi, mark, i have to tell you, i am a patriot of the uk. i've been through all this rubbish in the seventies we worked to get ourselves out of the quagmire, but sadly this is not my uk now. the government has succeeded in making citizens a state dependent, which was their aim. i'm ashamed of my country and the future looks grim for our indoctrinate hated thank indoctrinate hated kids. thank you households you for that, peter. households in the north london borough of islington have access islington will have their access , heating and water , heating and hot water restricted in a bid to save cash and a shock decision made by the council. private leaseholders

and council residents across the borough will not have access to bafic borough will not have access to basic like hot water and heating for up to 11 hours a day as part of the borough's new efficiency measures to reduce residents energy costs . is measures to reduce residents energy costs. is this measures to reduce residents energy costs . is this the start energy costs. is this the start of energy , and is it a of energy, and is it a commonsense economy or a dangerous precedent ? speak to dangerous precedent? speak to deputy director of net zero watch. andrew montfort. hi, andrew . hi, watch. andrew montfort. hi, andrew. hi, mark. how things ? andrew. hi, mark. how things? i'm very well indeed. look all they're trying to do is bring down the cost of energy. very sensible . well they've offered sensible. well they've offered the tenants a increase in. pfices the tenants a increase in. prices or no water at all, which i think in current seconds chances actually may actually just have to be made . it may just have to be made. it may indeed be a reasonably sensible thing to do. the problem is that the tenants are they're captured. they have nowhere else to go there. their hot water comes from the council and so

they're stuck . and this is the they're stuck. and this is the problem. as soon as you control to the state right, you run the risk that the state is going to shoot you the back. we see this coming with smart metres because smart metres will give you the ability to people, the ability to off your power when wind is blowing and there's no electricity . the government, it electricity. the government, it looks , though, they're soon looks, though, they're soon going to get their hands on the ability on those smart metres that they will have . there will that they will have. there will be a central ability to switch people off . so essentially is people off. so essentially is handed over and it is there is no doubt think that rationing will because as we found out in the last week when the wind doesn't blow we aren't going to have power . doesn't blow we aren't going to have power. fossil fuels doesn't blow we aren't going to have power . fossil fuels are have power. fossil fuels are going. we were kept we were kept afloat over the last few days by coal and nuclear. but the coal

and nuclear is going to be down over the next few years . so over the next few years. so there will be nothing the wind and if we're lucky, something might come over the interconnectors from. in reality, though, if we get a three week lull in the wind , three week lull in the wind, there will be nothing. and at that they will start switching us off and we will be rationed. and it's quite. it has echoes china's china a communist china. doesn't it give them an inch the authorities and they will take mile . yeah. they are just they mile. yeah. they are just they are completely blind . i think to are completely blind. i think to what is going on in households. i was watching a committee in parliament today talking about energy and the consumer interest come into it at all. they just didn't care. the only thing care aboutis didn't care. the only thing care about is heating this. if you like this crazy religious net zero target. they seriously

believe that they're saving the planet and that if some people freeze along the. well i think they they view that as collateral damage. it's just unfortunate but it's got to happen and i'm actually rather scared by what our politicians doing. they have completely lost sight of people suffering . and sight of people suffering. and people are suffering this winter . although andrew , let me ask . although andrew, let me ask you whether , it's really a you whether, it's really a problem if . you can't have a hot problem if. you can't have a hot bath four in the morning. that's not a privation, is it? if you look at what this local authority is to do, people will have access to hot water and the boiler for most of the day . boiler for most of the day. yeah, of course. and there are people pointing out that people work shifts and actually as they come back from the night shift , come back from the night shift, quite like to have a shower or a bath when , they come home. i bath when, they come home. i mean, this is a basic human

requirement that you can get hot running when you need it. to say you can't have it is preposterous, really. now, as i said before , i think the price said before, i think the price of power has gone up and the council are stuck in a hard place. they probably do have to put up prices, but i think we probably have to sit back from this and look at the big picture , which is that have for the last years made a hash of energy policy. in a sane world would still have coal fired power stations producing power cheaply so that people can have that bafic so that people can have that basic of heat light and hot water when they need it . water when they need it. although, of course, now this would argue, andrew, that with policies, we have drastically reduced our carbon footprint . reduced our carbon footprint. i've got one quick personal question for you. you're up there in scotland. whereabouts in scotland , by way? i'm in in scotland, by the way? i'm in kinross . beautiful part of the kinross. beautiful part of the world. you've got a radius of

behind you. when's nicholas sturgeon going to be switching it off ? quite soon. she is it off? quite soon. she is scarily green. there all sorts of things coming that that really frighten me . there you really frighten me. there you go. look, it's great to have you on the show, andrew. thank you for sharing your wit and wisdom with . andrew munford is the with. andrew munford is the deputy director of net zero watch. thanks, andrew . well, watch. thanks, andrew. well, we've been in touch with islington council. well done. produce melissa for getting a response and councillor oonagh o'halloran told my team we consulted residents . more than consulted residents. more than two thirds of respondents, 67% backed the plan or wanted us to go further to reduce the services. communal heating systems don't currently allow every resident to make their own decisions about how much to use to boiler. ultimately, in this instance , a difficult decision instance, a difficult decision had to be made in the interests

of the majority. my thanks to islington for that response . islington for that response. coming up, an outrageous corruption scandal in the eu. how much damage this do to brussels? is this further evidence? where lucky to be out? it's a cracking story. you won't believe the details . legal believe the details. legal philosopher eva le dinga joins us 2 minutes .

it's mark dolan in for mark steyn tonight, tomorrow and thursday . joy to have your thursday. joy to have your company brussel wales is in the grip of a growing corruption scandal over allegations that world cup host qatar lavish of thousands of pounds worth of cash and gifts on meps and officials to influence decision making . watchdogs say that it making. watchdogs say that it could be the most serious

corruption scandal to hit brussels in years . a series of brussels in years. a series of at least 16 raids by belgian police netted five people. they said had allegedly committed offences of criminal organisation corruption , money organisation corruption, money laundering. organisation corruption, money laundering. ,600,000 organisation corruption, money laundering . ,600,000 is laundering. ,600,000 is involved. eva kylie , vice involved. eva kylie, vice president of the european parliament, vocal defender of doha , is now in police custody . doha, is now in police custody. what's going on? let's speak to a good friend of show for reaction. legal philosopher eva le dinga brook. hi great to meet you. for the first time. hi so nice to meet you too . oh, dear. nice to meet you too. oh, dear. the halo has slipped for the european union. oh, man. i think it's just such a funny story , to it's just such a funny story, to be honest with you. these people, i mean. so they took supposedly now they seized up to one point. supposedly now they seized up to one point. ,1.5 million in cash from these people. so apparently , you know, the social democrats, because all in the socialists and the group in the european parliament are the ones

that qatar seeks out to spread this wonderful news about . it is this wonderful news about. it is just such a funny story . these just such a funny story. these moralists there in the european parliament have really shown their true colours here. most certainly . can you tell me about certainly. can you tell me about the number of people in holland who are interested in holland leaving the european union? how much eurosceptics ism is there in the netherlands ? well, sadly in the netherlands? well, sadly not enough, because lot of us are still very much afraid things are going to go very wrong for us because we are such a small country and the lies that you guys been told, you know, that the uk simply cease to exist if you would do a go for brexit . those ones are the for brexit. those ones are the same ones that they tell us and sadly a lot of people are still falling for it. so instead we are in hands of these people who say that they want to protect democracy. we say that want to protect rule law, and protect the rule of law, and then they are offered a big then when they are offered a big bunch of they just go ahead. they support people like , well,

they support people like, well, qatar . do you they support people like, well, qatar. do you think, they support people like, well, qatar . do you think, eva, that qatar. do you think, eva, that if more corruption is uncover within the eu this could to your or sceptic feelings on the continent and also a possible sovereign debt because inflation is very across the eurozone in facti is very across the eurozone in fact i think across the entirety of the eurozone, it's higher than here the uk. germany has always been a rich country, always been a rich country, always . but some of these other always. but some of these other countries like italy and france are in trouble. this is not secure in the long, is it? no, it sure isn't. and i hope that this reaches beyond the question of finance. honestly, i hope that people start to wake up to the fact that even when you know not all meps people who take bnbes not all meps people who take bribes from corrupt nations. i hope that they start to realise that these people are pushing for policy fees that are detrimental and actually are an actual to our democracy and to the rule of law. for example

just a week ago , the dutch just a week ago, the dutch parliament in favour of a motion with a majority saying to the dutch government, do not go to brussels and sign a for the digital identity project. what did our government. digital identity project. what did our government . they went did our government. they went ahead and they did it anyway so really you know there is no democratic control and we just are giving up our sovereignty every single time. and the projects that these people push for in that monster that is the eu should really people should wake up to that and i would say get out as soon as possible. worrying developments in germany as well. eva, tell me more . oh as well. eva, tell me more. oh yes. when we're talking about people protecting and the rule of law. but this is one that is really going to blow your mind. so. well, there obviously a bit of a problem in germany. i think that most of you have seen that there was a supposed coup data that was being planned that the government in germany was thankfully able to shut down.

but what happened is that the german minister , interior german minister, interior affairs actually went ahead and said, well , affairs actually went ahead and said, well, in order to fight extreme misfortune, in order to rid basically the german government of public servants that have extra missed ideas, mind you , that could be anything mind you, that could be anything that they don't agree . we should that they don't agree. we should actually reverse. she said . actually reverse. she said. burden of proof . she literally burden of proof. she literally said, you can you look it up, she said, we need to change. the presumption of innocence into the presumption of guilt and the fact that germany now has a minister who says that you know, blows my mind that it's the end of literally the rule of law when someone like orban for example would have said the same thing. i'm sure it would have been nationwide news everywhere. yes. german he has always had an infamous relationship with freedom and democracy as you as you will agree . eva, brilliant you will agree. eva, brilliant to have you on the show and we'll catch you i hope in a week's time. my thanks to eva
