tea , as a voting on the same to tea, as a voting on the same to accept a pay offer. a bit later on i will be talking to someone from momentum who interestingly, i suspect maybe does think that actually there's been a bit of behaviour going on there from one union against another, but we'll the bottom of all we'll get to the bottom of all of. gb is west midlands of. gb news is west midlands reporter coulson is live reporter josh coulson is live from is from what i can imagine is a very very cold birmingham new street good stuff street station job. good stuff you always get the very the very gigs here. okay what's the latest from are please latest from where you are please . well patrick, of course we know that the rmt union is involved in disputes . two involved in disputes. two companies network rail, which represents 20,000 signatures and maintenance workers , and of maintenance workers, and of course, the rail delivery group , which represents around 20,000 workers who 14 different train operating companies that have been striking and it has caused massive disruption here at birmingham new street there are still some services here, but mainly only every hour. those longer distance regular services have just not on today and

commuters have to find other means to travel . of course we means to travel. of course we know that west midlands railway in london, northwestern railway services on just running a toll on any the of industrial on any the days of industrial action . but for people here you action. but for people here you know the mood's always been you west we kind of understand why they're striking but it does cause some disruption here's what some people in birmingham have me being selfish. i do have been me being selfish. i do like to go to birmingham christmas so it's not for the pubuc christmas so it's not for the public going in and out farming. it's not ideal really . it's not it's not ideal really. it's not possible. and often anymore these paid more of to the railway strike. it's not going the other strikes coming up they need to make people listen and only way they'll do it is to stop working. so whether we like it or not, it's got to happen. and i understand yet they don't get paid money for how hard they work . but from my point of view, work. but from my point of view, it's annoying that i understand from of view, it's from that point of view, it's probably as well space people need better and better working conditions try conditions and that's way to try and people attention it.

and draw people attention to it. so yeah, i mean, if you don't support them, you're against it. i think it happens in so many professions, the public so easily are against people and yeah we should support yeah i think we should support them . so that's what some people them. so that's what some people in birmingham think of the strikes. of course, we know from the gb news people's poll that 44% of people agree that , you 44% of people agree that, you know, that the strikes should ahead. there was a picket line here for members of the rmt union that work for network rail. i must only rail. although i must admit only two turn up to that. two people did turn up to that. but by cold it is but judging by how cold it is here, patrick, i'm not surprised. but the one person that to that, he that needs to speak to that, he said rejected the pay said he rejected the last pay offer because he didn't offer not only because he didn't think the pay percentage increase was was it was good enough h increase was was it was good enough it was the enough for him, but it was the terms and conditions around, the contracts offer . one contracts around the offer. one of he mentioned to me of the things he mentioned to me was trains now don't was that many trains now don't have a garden. so was he was concerned for people need concerned for people that need help off help getting on the trains off the trains especially when it comes unmanned station comes to unmanned station runs. you there's tonnes of you know, there's tonnes of conditions the kind conditions and the kind of future of railway wasn't

something that he was prepared to the offer that they to accept in the offer that they had of course we know mick lynch is still trying to negotiate. he met him merriman the met with him he merriman the minister nothing minister yesterday. nothing really seemed to have from really seemed to have come from that but they've said that deal. but they've said they're carry on they're going to carry on negotiating. no negotiating. while there is no deal place, this disruption deal in place, this disruption is to continue over is going to continue over christmas new year christmas and into the new year . yes, exactly. look, jack, thank you very, very great to have you out abouts, although is of i you of course freezing. i hope you don't get hypothermia mere forecasts from forecasts in that from birmingham street station. look, we to continue with we we're going to continue with these actually i've these strikes but actually i've just little bit just been told got a little bit of news to bring you. of breaking news to bring you. and it's in relation to the royal family. gb news royal reporter cameron walker has hotfoot into studio. hotfoot it into the studio. cameron the to me on cameron broke the news to me on the nation yes. if you remember this race that's this royal race trial that's erupted following that at the reception at buckingham palace involving one of the queen's former ladies in waiting, questioning where a human rights campaigner came from . well, a campaigner came from. well, a meeting has taken place at buckingham palace today between

. ngozi fulani and lady susan hussey , where was she personally hussey, where was she personally 7 hussey, where was she personally ? apologise to ngozi fulani that apology. as i understand it, has been accepted and it is understood that she now understands that no malice was intended in her questioning at that particular reception. clearly this is a big step forward. i think perhaps in times gone by, event such as this would have been swept under the carpet, but in the brain . the carpet, but in the brain. king charles, the third, this is very much something he wants to address and it's the address and it's in the forefront of their minds . okay. forefront of their minds. okay. so to clarify, sorry for so just to clarify, sorry for anyone just joining us or anyone who is just joining us or didn't get first time didn't quite get that first time around meeting as you around come a meeting as you understand is taking place understand it is taking place with lady susan hussey who was well, she resigned when she posed anyway after she well i suppose you could say repeatedly asked and goes forlani where she was from. that's the and she goes implanting quite unashamedly came out in hinted that it was racism and all of this stuff so they've actually

had a to face face meeting again. yes as. on sunday they've had a face to face meeting at buckingham palace, a warm buckingham palace, a very warm meeting. described as meeting. it's been described as between fulani. he's the between ngozi fulani. he's the founder she was founder of sister space. she was ianed founder of sister space. she was invited to this domestic abuse reception with the queen consort lady susan hussey former queensland in waiting to be a member of the royal household continues question about allegation where she came from negatively took offence posted this on twitter then this royal race for roses and now there has a meeting between the two of them at buckingham palace and that was buckingham. do we have anyidea that was buckingham. do we have any idea know that you're going to be updating us on this throughout more we'll throughout and more info we'll come any idea whether come to have any idea whether the was present involved the king was present or involved or or not. he's not he's not going to go or anything like that. so been told their that. so we've been told their majesties and other members of the royal have been kept the royal family have been kept fully and are grateful fully informed and are grateful for welcome resolution. for this. welcome resolution. but not at the meeting. but they not at the meeting. okay. this is actually thank you very much, cameron, bringing us that breaking news and yeah, we'll be speaking shortly .

we'll be speaking shortly. imagine. thank so much. imagine. thank you so much. i can to that although can walk to that although reports we will as you reports reporter we will as you can imagine be taking another look a closer look at house just drop apparently ngozi drop us. so apparently ngozi fulani an apology fulani has accepted an apology from susan hussey. there is from lady susan hussey. there is rather a to talk about there rather a lot to talk about there of course space which is rather a lot to talk about there of ccharity space which is rather a lot to talk about there of ccharity founded which is rather a lot to talk about there of ccharity founded by1ich is rather a lot to talk about there of ccharity founded by andis rather a lot to talk about there of ccharity founded by and goes the charity founded by and goes forlani is apparently being scrutinised a little bit by the charity commission as well. that's an interesting element to it. i a lot of he cared it. i know a lot of he cared deeply about that story as more drops bring more info drops will, bring you more info on that. we're going to go back to though, which to the strikes now though, which is got little bit more is why we got a little bit more information the latest royal information on the latest royal ruckus. they're just a ruckus. but they're not just a story cancellations now story of train cancellations now in chaos. there's also in travel chaos. there's also been significant political dimensions, namely to the between the union bosses and, the government over pay and conditions crucially conditions and crucially as well. well, opposition well. well, the opposition labour want do or do not want labour want to do or do not want to do when it comes to these strikes. earlier, the rmt union general secretary lynch general secretary mick lynch said between train said a deal between train companies rail unions companies and rail unions achievable. well, i mean , be achievable. well, i mean, be fair, it's always been achievable. if everyone had

given they wanted, but given them what they wanted, but they an improvement they would go. he an improvement in coming the in the pay offer coming from the government crucial that government was the crucial that he wants to be achievable though of isn't that another of course isn't that another union the tsa reportedly broke ranks which did break ranks, i suppose you could say, and accepted a pay offer that is despite the fact that mick lynch is now met. hugh merriman, the rail minister failed to achieve anything yesterday, apparently. joining me now so discuss this is our political reporter catherine fawcett. catherine thanks very much. okay, so what's latest ? no deal it what's the latest? no deal as it stands. talks broken , lynch stands. talks broken, but lynch saying agreement is saying that an agreement is achievable. so we're six achievable. yes. so we're six months into this dispute now , months into this dispute now, aren't we? and yet another rail strike and more scheduled for over christmas bans, etc. so really difficult periods coming . mick lynch is making positive noises despite the fact that they met hugh merriman, the minister, yesterday. nothing happened. there wasn't a breakthrough. but he says it is . now breakthrough. but he says it is. now

standing firm on strikes across the board, aren't they? yeah, i'm they have always insisted that it's two issues with the rail unions of all it's pay. they've made an offer of 9% across two years but also it's and they've been very firm on that it's critical given rail use is down about 20% and the government bailed out the railways to the tune of many billions during the pandemic. but things like driverless trains have always been a red line. so are rmt and they are very worried about redundancies. now the government had none for two years, but who is going to blink and how long is this going to go on? as far from clear. well, exactly. and this is of the big questions that i'm going to be asking and have been asking our wonderful viewers on that sure that that listeners. make sure that you do get in touch. gb is a gbnews.uk because increasingly we're more we're getting more and more of you on the airways so you actually on the airways so do leave details in those do leave as details in those emails. and we'll and emails. well and we'll try and get your on the telly, your get your face on the telly, your voice radio if we can. voice on the radio if we can. but this is a massive issue,

isn't for very different isn't it, for very different people, people say, people, because people say, well, hang on a minute maybe we could like driverless could do things like driverless robot whatever. robot trains, whatever. maybe people don't necessarily need any walk life. they any of the walk of life. they don't job guaranteed don't have that job guaranteed for next couple of do for the next couple of years, do they? and union the tsa they? and another union the tsa accept pay up they've left of accept to pay up they've left of least 1750 pounds or 5% increase whichever is greater backdated to jan of this and that apparently is worth at least 7% to staff earnin g £25,000 or to staff earning £25,000 or less. well i thought wasn't she was mick lynch was saying that she didn't think it obviously much of an impact over christmas it is costing this country a of money and i suspect we're going to hear from viewers later to hear from our viewers later that the public opinion is that may. the public opinion is turning soon just just turning rishi soon not just just weathering out. well, weathering this one out. well, the strikes going on the rail strikes been going on for long time, haven't they? for a long time, haven't they? and will tolerate for and people will tolerate it for so then you start so long. and then you start eventually sympathy eventually the sympathy starts to go . it's interesting. more to go. it's interesting. more strikes , also a ban on over all strikes, also a ban on over all the planned engineering works that should have taken place

won't happen either. so that pushes them down the line so . pushes them down the line so. it's going to inconvenience people now. okay. he's been dubbed the stole christmas. he's very firmly saying he's not. but you do wonder whether sympathy for the railway workers specifically is going to start to wane , whereas the nurse says, to wane, whereas the nurse says, yeah, only went out on strike yesterday and the moment the pubuc yesterday and the moment the public do seem to be largely supportive of them. but interestingly mick lynch was on the nurses picket line yesterday. all right. yeah he said his wife was a nurse. he was the hospital that he said both his parents, very gloomy, had died out and that, you know, he felt very strongly he wanted to be there in solidarity with the nurses. well, there you go. we are. she when it comes to nurses, he's going to be speaking later to speaking a little later on to somebody rather high up somebody who's rather high up in, momentum in, you'll remember, momentum from. corbyn days from. the jeremy corbyn days will be a bit of a debate, all of that. i am intrigued to get their when it comes to the their views when it comes to the nurses the front of nurses on the front page of the times here ambulance trots times here we've ambulance trots who the biggest who said suppose the biggest threat and i

threat of all. and again, i wonder not might be wonder or not people might be feeling little bit more angry feeling a little bit more angry towards workers. the unions, i think try to frame it think we should try to frame it more that. natural more as that. the natural themselves because supposed themselves because i supposed us more immediate thing more of an immediate thing if you they can't you call ambulance they can't come of a that's come there's kind of a that's the isn't it. between the bridge isn't it. between actually getting to not see a nurse if that sense. so i wonder whether or not there's going to be there, just be more felt there, but just sticking you, catherine, because i is just i understand that this is just come me to piers have come to me as well to piers have been recommended suspended been recommended to be suspended over this over lobbying claims this a house of lords politics story it yes so the lords conduct committee have completed an investigation and they've recommended that piers should be suspend it from the house of lords over lobbying basically being paid using that influence in the house of lords and taking money. so the earl of shrewsbury has apparently take n £57,000 has apparently taken £57,000 working as a consultant for a health care company . working as a consultant for a health care company. he was previously a friend a couple of nurses and servants is payer. he's not affiliated . then he's not affiliated. then labour's baroness goody has been

giving parliamentary advice for money from a committee auction company, so they've been recommended to be suspended for like six or nine months. it won't be voted on till the new yean won't be voted on till the new year, so more bad behaviour just year, so more bad behaviourjust just reiterate that second one for me. parliamentary advice for a cremation company. good grief. well bleak, isn't it? okay. all right . i would just say, i mean right. i would just say, i mean , obviously, this is not good compared to baroness michelle moan, who apparently appropriate £29 million. yes, it's a not quite as dramatic as. no, it does put things into perspective somewhat. look, thank you very much, catherine . captain much, catherine. captain fawcett, our political reporter , is bringing you the very latest on, frankly, a whole host of and yes, i you of things. and yes, i am you those massive, questions those massive, massive questions today do you today about strikes. do you think about any impact whatsoever of you whatsoever the impacts of you but really, i think the big one that i want to know is where are you when it comes to thinking that you that i should wait that you that i should just wait this should he wait it this one out should he wait it out actually there be out or should actually there be pay

out or should actually there be pay table gives our pay offers the table gives our gb news dot a whole raft for gb news dot uk a whole raft for us to out. we are later all us to go out. we are later all going to talking about the going to be talking about the nurses because 60,000 nurses as well because 60,000 operations work operations but apparently work out a very real time out so that is a very real time impact and of course we brought you that lobbying. so to me, i don't know who have to lobby don't know who i have to lobby to a coffee around here, but to get a coffee around here, but a be lovely. you a coffee would be lovely. you very got very much. right. we've got loads your you all. we may loads your way you all. we may patrick christys on gb news. coming latest from coming up the latest from northern mary has northern ireland mary sunak has goncalo a he's goncalo wobble in a way he's over there apparently political leaders. all that more coming leaders. all of that more coming your here. gb your way. just a sec here. gb news live. we'll be keeping in the finding what's the picture, finding out what's happening country and happening across the country and finding out why it matters to you. we'll the facts fast you. we'll have the facts fast with team of reporters and with our team of reporters and specialist correspondents. wherever it's happening, we'll be 12 tv and be there in 12 noon on tv and onune be there in 12 noon on tv and online gb news the people's channel online gb news the people's channel, britain's channel alex deakin. here with your latest weather updates. the weekend see a big change. it starts cold. but by the end of sunday going to be milder and as wet weather

negotiating mandate, that we're just not in the in the space where a deal can be delivered that really addresses the fundamental issues . and that for fundamental issues. and that for us means restoring northern place within uk internal . market place within uk internal. market well, he did say about the discussions the foreign secretary were having with maurice seferovic of the eu but the mood music has been moving quite well for the eu they visited ursula von der lion visited ursula von der lion visited dublin last week i suppose saying goodbye to a meal martin the taoiseach the irish pm. he leaves his post tomorrow that will be by leo varadkar there and a coalition government down there . so now we have more down there. so now we have more problems inside the protocol. we have more coming and more new faces and rishi sunak went to the shipyard here in belfast where he's promised that ministry of defence boats will be built . that'll be a tricky be built. that'll be a tricky one for him because those boats

to entertain, pay off and they said the table said they sit around the table they more. but the tories they talk more. but the tories have said they're going to talk more. no firm offer my more. so no firm offer there. my point being well the upshot point now being well the upshot of out is essentially of nurses out is essentially that getting the that patients aren't getting the care need or or care that they need or want or deserve operations have deserve and the operations have been cancelled and that basically increases the nhs . basically increases the nhs. what has really been the point of all of this is major party has decided that they want to get on board and our labour missing a trick by not getting on board. it certainly as a result of our gb news these people's which i think people's poll which i think people's poll which i think people to is by people seem to think is taken by our twitter something like our twitter feed, something like that, it's a proper that, it's not it's a proper poll. does poll. people this poll does appear to show that there is now still the still more support for the strikes in what is against it. so get your views coming in that but lots of the emails been but yeah lots of the emails been flooding vaiews@gbnews.uk flooding in vaiews@gbnews.uk on this mark this palace race row mark because want to read to the because i want to read to the very on it before we hear very latest on it before we hear from correspondent cameron from royal correspondent cameron walker meeting filled with walker. a meeting filled with warmth and understood bonding is taking place between prince william's godmother, lady susan hussy and ngozi fulani , or okay,

okay. welcome back, everybody. let's dive back in to that big breaking news that bringing you andifs breaking news that bringing you and it's in relation to the royal race raw. i'm just going to throw it straight over to gb news is. royal reporter cameron walker . fill news is. royal reporter cameron walker. fill us in. good afternoon , patrick. yes, in the afternoon, patrick. yes, in the last hour, we have had the statements from statements through from buckingham palace relating to this race . it's erupted this royal race. it's erupted a couple of ago. so i'm just going to read it to you. it says a meeting place this morning at

buckingham palace between mr. ngozi fulani , founder of sister ngozi fulani, founder of sister space and lady susan hussey, to address the instance , took place address the instance, took place at the palace reception last month. at this meeting filled with warmth and lady susan offered her sincere apologies for the comments that were made , the distress they caused to ms. forlani that susan has pledged to deepen her awareness of the sensitivities involved and is grateful for opportunity to learn more about issues in this area. ms. who has unfairly the most appalling torrents of abuse on social media and has accepted this apology and appreciates that no malice was intended. then it goes on. but i think the next line is that messages the king and queen consort and members of the royal family have been kept fully informed and are pleased that both parties have reached this outcome. wow okay. i mean, that is lot. you broke it for us last. well, a half an hour. so

we've got the statements out now, that does appear to be i don't want to use the word capitulation, but is it pretty much a full and frank apology? and lady susan hussey actually apologising is and apologising then. yeah is and apologising then. yeah is and apologising person . clearly apologising in person. clearly it a very well orchestrated it was a very well orchestrated meeting at buckingham meeting physically at buckingham palace . the parties palace between. the two parties and susan has pledged to and lady susan has pledged to deepen her awareness of the sensitivities she is sensitivities involved. she is prince william's godmother, after she was lady in after all. she was lady in waiting to the for more than 60 years. and clearly it's this whole ordeal has really affected both parties here because both their lives really have been dragged through demands, both on social media and in the press to . yeah, it is a remarkable turn of in more ways than one. i would imagine i'm just being a bit glib. i would imagine it would be quite difficult for lady susan. you'll see to learn too much about guys in forlani because it kind of depends exactly which area of ngozi fulani life guys you forlani wants to bring the fore any given moment from what i can. and also as well, some

interesting reports coming out, just really one from the telegraph. now palace row telegraph. now palace race row accuser ngozi charity accuser ngozi fulani charity draws attention after draws watchdog's attention after allegations all of these are allegations. but the palace did specific that cameron specific reference that cameron to ngozi receiving hate . to ngozi fulani receiving hate. yeah, a very strongly worded statement here from buckingham palace saying ms. forlani was unfair has , unfairly received unfair has, unfairly received the most appalling torrent of abuse on. social media. very strong words from the palace, but rarely we see that kind of language used by buckingham palace. in a statement such as this, i it clearly shows to me how seriously the royal household has taken incredibly seriously . so yeah incredibly seriously. so yeah incredibly seriously. so yeah incredibly serious and it comes just a day after the latest round of the netflix docu series dropped . and netflix docu series dropped. and that has dominated most of the front today. harry deepens rift with screen king william. john, for example , royal family for example, royal family obviously fight this obviously looking to fight this particular. cameron, thank you very, come walker our very, very much. come walker our royal are bringing royal reports are bringing light, so going to return light, so we're going to return to throughout course to that throughout the course the big the show. that's the big breaking news. drop right

breaking news. this drop right here gb which is here now on gb news, which is the fulani, the lady who the ngozi fulani, the lady who accused lady susan hussey, i suppose in a roundabout way, suppose of in a roundabout way, racism over the racism anyway was all over the media it wasn't she media saying it wasn't she they've met that two of them have met face to face. it was filled with apparently in filled with warmth apparently in ladies to go ladies businesses points to go away learn a bit about her away and learn a bit about her actions and make she actions and make sure, she doesn't it right those doesn't do it again. right those of who are coming in or not of you who are coming in or not gbs gb news uk we'll go to gbs of gb news uk we'll go to a lot of them throughout the course of the show. but let's just move on for the second people labour party people because the labour party have of breaking have been accused of breaking away their traditional away from their traditional trade the trade union grass roots as the party remained relatively party has remained relatively mute of strike mute on the issue of strike action q and a free speech. action in q and a free speech. the policy exchange shadow health wes streeting health secretary wes streeting admitted if labour were in government today , they couldn't government today, they couldn't offer an inflation busting pay rise. on to the anneliese rise. and on to the anneliese dodds very, very dodds said something very, very similar well. dodds said something very, very similar well . that is despite similar as well. that is despite some mp , he's like former some labour mp, he's like former shadow chancellor mcdonnell shadow chancellor john mcdonnell obviously nurses on obviously joining nurses on picket lines. yes today so is the labour policy breaking away

from its trade route? joining me now is conservative cabinet minister and whittaker erm and thank you very, very much joining us. key was, you know now in a bit of royal news to get to in fact some aren't quite out to pick your brains about that later on but let's deal with the matter in hand. is the labour party moving away from its union route? they its age union route? so they a sticky wicket over the nurses strikes? i'll tell you strikes? now i'll tell you exactly the labour party is exactly what the labour party is doing. at the doing. it's looking at the opinion thinking, we could doing. it's looking at the opiin)n thinking, we could doing. it's looking at the opiin far hinking, we could doing. it's looking at the opiin far off

call tony phase. they're call the tony phase. they're starting realise they could be forming a government, starting realise they could be forming a government , therefore forming a government, therefore they've to be careful is they've got to be careful is fascinating to see. watching some elements of the hard left each this version of the labour party from not being militant enough enough. if i was going to be talking a little bit later to on an individual is development momentum get their momentum a big themes get their views all this and reading views on all this and reading the i can't help the headlines today i can't help but earth but wonder what on earth is. even worse, strikes even worse, these strikes actually achieved anything. i think the british think it's forced the british pubuc think it's forced the british public to look into the pay structure in the and that includes direct includes things jobs of direct to four lived experience on 110 grundy yeah we've got all this wastage in the management is force people to really think about whether or not they actually think the nhs and the service they get is value for money at. well i think it has done that as far as i'm i understand why the public want a sport analysis as a profit emotional engagement between pubuc emotional engagement between public and the nurses. but the fact is it is not only irresponsible it's deeply

immoral to somebody else's life or wellbeing at risk for the sake of one's own pay . but that sake of one's own pay. but that is not something that we should be assessing rating with the national public service like the nhs. but to take point about in a it's encouraged us to look deeper into the nhs . oh, i only deeper into the nhs. oh, i only wish it had because what we should be asking ourselves and not and i've been asking for this for 20 years, i've asked for it on this programme before, not what we should be asking ourselves is this given what we know now , how would we know now, how would we dissolving national health service if we were starting scratch today? what would we what could we do? what we do and then do we get there from here thatis then do we get there from here that is a big , then do we get there from here that is a big, big debate and is facing up to it. neither major party is facing up to that . it party is facing up to that. it is. and just quickly, if i may, before i just get one from you on ngozi fulani and i'm going to have somebody on like 21 suspects is going to say to me

usual line of, well, look, clapping them doesn't pay their wages. and we've got nurses going to food banks. how would you well, first you respond to that? well, first of of course, clapping of all, of course, clapping for them that way. just them doesn't pay that way. just for them merely expresses the public's appreciation. i mean there's nothing significant about the food bank. i think what you've got to do is look at the average nurses pay , which is the average nurses pay, which is not at food bank level. so you need to ask what's going and presumably also something since we've got working husbands or working partners so idea that all the nurses the nhs are dropping down to the local is very very unlikely. there may be one or two particular circumstance where that has become necessary and i know it really . no, no it's not. and i really. no, no it's not. and i can't help feel as though people i hate to say turn of phrase, but it should be a bit careful what they wish for. as was said to see ambulance workers going out we've already out as well. and we've already got massive whopping great got this massive whopping great big backlog, squishy big nhs backlog, pretty squishy recalls when it comes to things

like hospital times like ambulances, hospital times people negligence people well medical negligence claims through roof claims seem to be through roof as look well paul as well but look well paul called second animal called out for the second animal paul off the second yeah paul called off the second yeah that news dropped that breaking news that dropped just an hour ago. just about half an hour ago. it has been a meeting at the palace lady susan and ngozi fulani or marlene or whatever she marlene headley or whatever she wants called, apparently. marlene headley or whatever she wantjosie called, apparently. marlene headley or whatever she wantjosie hasalled, apparently. marlene headley or whatever she wantjosie has received parently. marlene headley or whatever she wantjosie has received anently. and josie has received an apology from lady susan hussey. a lot of people in my inbox out there saying that the apology should have been the other way round. your views. i quite agree. the apology have the agree. the apology have been the other mean, she other way round. i mean, she accepted invitation to a accepted an invitation to a social embarrass a host social event embarrass a host and my staff. she caused a very serving member of the royal staff to retire and. i think she should have apologised or at the very least there should have been an of apologies . i also been an of apologies. i also think the royal household have a bit wimpish about this and will live to regret that because i meghan will make hay with this. yeah. and just lastly on exactly on that it was precisely my initial thought when our royal

reporter came in and read out this quite gushing statement from the royal family, uncharacteristic actually saying that, you know, we understand and she's received all of this hatred . it was, you know, hatred. it was, you know, unacceptable for to receive all of this an apology been issued. we've met the king and queen are up to date with the situation. and i just remember thinking, well, hang on minute. this well, hang on a minute. this lady fulani and that lady ngozi fulani and that charity space, i mean, the charity space, i mean, the charity commission's interest has piqued by that. there has been piqued by that. there are several about them are several things about them cosy don't cosy forlani that don't necessarily really add up in my opinion. i think this is quite an astonishing kind rolling over opinion. i think this is quite an the>nishing kind rolling over opinion. i think this is quite an the royalig kind rolling over opinion. i think this is quite an the royal , kind rolling over opinion. i think this is quite an the royal, is nd rolling over opinion. i think this is quite an the royal, is iti rolling over opinion. i think this is quite an the royal , is it not? ng over opinion. i think this is quite an the royal, is it not? yeah.ar by the royal, is it not? yeah. you've described it as a gush . you've described it as a gush. actually, it's a marvel. that's what it it's a pathetic grovel and as i say, the only people is going to please are going to be the owners of monstrosities. they are absolutely going to exploit this to the nth degree. they're going to say, we're telling the truth. look, the royal are already royal family are already mentioned. it should be the other way round . you rightly other way round. you rightly say, yeah, fascinating . that

say, yeah, fascinating. that lady susan. i see a woman who i daresay has been around the world few times. single world a few times. every single person from single corner person from every single corner of and as far as you're of it. and as far as you're aware, only issue aware, this is only issue relating she's vowed relating to she's vowed to go away and learn bit more. she's away and learn a bit more. she's vowed to go away and learn a bit more and yourself on it. and i could talk to all day about this i've you up. i'm i've i've wound you up. i'm going have you on going to have to send you on your way. just one thing. very quickly, away and quickly, quick. going away and loving a bit more. what is the marxist term for that re—education. and what re—education. and that's what this and always this is about. and always a pleasure. you very much. pleasure. thank you very much. i'm to cover former i'm going to cover that. former conservative cabinet minister. right. joins right. okay, john curtis joins me now. the prolific pollster extraordinaire. you may ask extraordinaire. why you may ask what i'll tell you because labour won the referendum labour have won the referendum some would been some by—election would have been arguably they arguably more news if they hadnt arguably more news if they hadn't there we go. hadn't have. but there we go. new andrew weston saying the new mp andrew weston saying the result sends, a strong message to rishi government. new mps to rishi government. the new mps killed almost 70% of the vote with only a 25% turnout. however, due to the adverse weather conditions, some people are saying that much about it. in parts, it's a swing,

are saying that much about it. in parts, it's a swing , 9.34. in parts, it's a swing, 9.34. and many are asking if this is enough for labour to gain the keys to number ten at the next general election. john curtis joins me now. keep waiting, john. breaking news and all of that. this is the world we live in so rise. is this a bellwether from what we've seen here now is kingston just a prime minister in waiting to crack crack? in waiting wants to crack crack? well, truth is that well, the honest truth is that the by elections in the record of by elections in safe labour seats is that it's usually the that if labour are in general advancing in the polls which of course is where it's at the moment swing to them in such by elections tends to be rather less than that in the current national polls. so the swing and chester in stratford's about 10% the polls at the moment it's around 15 to 16 that's pretty much par for the course i think all we can say both about this by—election and also the one in chester a fortnight ago is that in both cases the increase in the labour

vote is better than anything but only in this parliament. but in the last parliament and the one before that, so far as labour's concerned, i know they are consistent with. but do not necessarily prove that the labour party probably at the moment in a stronger position than it has at any point since 2010. i think beyond that we can't say a great deal, but that, you know, labour and its vote not inconsiderable play into a safe labour given the record of previous elections is certain important achievements simply to be ignored . i'm simply to be ignored. i'm fascinated by this turn john yet the weather's a bit chilly , but the weather's a bit chilly, but it's not that bad . i mean, we're it's not that bad. i mean, we're not living in downs moscow, are we? 25% turnout. it's yeah. but the truth is that the turnout in byelections in december is always low. if you all the by elections in december in the last 20 years or so on average turnout by 30 points as compared

with the previous generation. now what true of this one the drop in turnout is particularly and i think it's a record in a post—war election it's just 44, but it's not apart from being december , when most people are december, when most people are rather more about christmas than about politics and the weather. of course, it was also the small march with the by—election was taking place in the middle of a postal and it may well be that some of the ballot papers that people had posted in good faith maybe quite a few days ago didn't necessarily make it because of course the post the strike was actually going on polling so all sorts of polling day. so all sorts of circumstances here too. i well as the fact it's a safe labour seat everybody knew who was going to win the puzzle that and it is a recipe for low turnout but there's nothing new about that the truth is that that i mean the truth is that the day elections this in the day by elections this in just christmas do tend to just before christmas do tend to be that the voters don't that excited about good stuff. well i certainly get excited about your analysis sir john. thank you very much, sir john curtice,

patrick well, welcome back, everybody just when you think it might be a slow news day. it is because in the last hour, palace released a statement explaining that a meeting filled with warmth, understanding. now took place between william's godmother susan hussey and inkosi filoni, the ceo of sister space, the charity. of course, we all remember, says space. we all remember marlene late in this meeting, lady susan hussey offered her sincere apologies too and goes forlornly for her comments on the distress that they've caused her. but should lady susan hussey have offered an apology? and what does this mean for the royal family? we heard twitter come on earlier on. conservative party grundy saying she this was a really bad look for the royal family and she would play straight in to harry and meghan's hands. well with former correspondent with me is former correspondent for sun, charles wright

for the sun, charles wright charles. great to have you on the malcolm and good to the show. malcolm and good to see you. right. so do you think this look for the royal this is a bad look for the royal family? it's quite gushing family? it's quite a gushing full frontal if you full frontal statement. if you it saying, look, we it is basically saying, look, we are the king are very very sorry. the king and will be kept informed and queen will be kept informed . week people i agree . but week some people i agree with what unready commit said . a with what unready commit said. a few moments ago i find this amazing apology. there wasn't much warmth and understanding . much warmth and understanding. they sacked it with speed or told it to resign with speed when . this. this erupted. to me when. this. this erupted. to me smacks of being some sort of firefighting exercise to try and dampen the flames of this particular aspect of the race row that's engulfing the royal family. and do i think that lady hussey should have apologised who were i think she should have apologised for as for moving the ladies here to read her name badge. that was a mistake that she but to around and she made. but to turn around and sort that , you know, sort of say that, you know, she's not going to go away and

you know pledged to dip her awareness and sense of sensitivity involved. this is an 83 year old woman who served royal family for the best part of 60 years, has travelled the world with her, has met people from all sorts ethnic backgrounds. and you want try and re—educate her. you know, i'm using i'm really concerned. you want try and re—educate her. that's absolutely appalling thing for them to say and absolutely right about now about meghan and harry they'll be sitting dancing around the rooms in montecito , all because this in montecito, all because this will give them their ammunition to , show that there's a there's to, show that there's a there's a race problem , the palace. a race problem, the palace. well, one of the things that i find absolutely sensational about the idea they've about the idea that they've ianed about the idea that they've invited ngozi fulani in and that they've given to the full frontal apology is actually when you a little of looking into you do a little of looking into sister's space and indeed, marlene headley or whatever ngozi fulani would like to be called because the commission certainly are interested in certainly are interested in certain aspects of ngozi fulani

and in certain aspects of assisted space. nothing has been in terms of a report and nothing been confirmed in terms of an investigation, all of the things. and it is very important to stress all of the things are just allegations. but serious question marks over some of the funding . she says despite grants funding. she says despite grants received , it received a it received, it received a it received, it received a it received 357,000 received, it received a it received 357,00 0 £100,000 in received 357,000 £100,000 in grants and donations. that's to the accounts for the year from march 2020, wanting from the london assembly , the culture london assembly, the culture department and comic relief. whether or not some of these groups were based, what they said was a massive increase in their client base. 300, they claim client base increased by very as to how they came to that figure when it to demand figure when it came to demand even some charlie as will be even some charlie as you will be aware well over whether or aware as well over whether or not they received money for not they received some money for things machines to things like sewing machines to run sewing course for run a sewing course for vulnerable women who victims vulnerable women who are victims of domestic violence allegations. they then charge women and women for this having caused and indeed their textiles. indeed bring their own textiles. of people reached out to of course, people reached out to sister space for comment. we

awaiting all of that. awaiting reply on all of that. but light of of this but charlie light of all of this stuff, it even more stuff, is it even more remarkable they've decided remarkable that they've decided they fulani a big they owe ngozi fulani a big apology, given what may may apology, given what may or may not be about to come out in the press about? well, i actually thought they had apology thought that they had an apology or lady susan or already from lady susan hussey never to be admitting has been arranged. now isn't remarkable meeting has been arranged for less than 24 hours after the harry and meghan documentary the second part of the documentary series has been aired . it just looks like aired. it just looks like they're trying to take sting out of one part of this race row that seems to be going on or has engulfed golf. the palace . and engulfed golf. the palace. and i'm i'm quite suspicious of the space. in any case, given what i've read and had that, that is possibly an investigation going on and the fact that she this naughty fulani as they decide what type of women that should get the help and not get the

help and as i have to say as well if you were to share her a charity which was just based for white women not said i think you would be we who would be writing stories well well no because that's not exactly i'm just concerned whether or not there is actually a much deeper issue here, which is that the palace let's be honest. okay. all right. they represent a certain type britain, don't they? white the most part in terms of the royal family themselves, of course, and, you know, wealthy is the monarchy . is the monarchy is the monarchy. is the monarchy is the monarchy. is the monarchy is this kind of the just the way that it is this kind of the just the way thatitis? is this kind of the just the way that it is? but they represent a certain demographic, and i understand then you've understand that. and then you've got race allegations got some of the race allegations coming meghan and harry, coming out of meghan and harry, which as far as i tell, which as far as i can tell, are baseless. through various baseless. i sat through various different hours of them on netflix. i always for the for the substance couldn't the substance that i couldn't find we've got to who find any. we've got to here who appears to be saying a variety of different things about an elderly lady who appears to have not caused anyone not really caused anyone any offence point in her offence any of the point in her life was enough the life that was enough the response that was to soca or

make a step down and then this photo apology. it just photo for an apology. it just this show easy it is this just show how easy it is maybe get an apology. maybe to get an apology. i people scared royal people are scared the royal family are by the kind of race lobby . i family are by the kind of race lobby. i think you've hit the nail the head. think the nail on the head. think the palace are starting to get very worried about these allegations . you can make all these allegations and say things are racial and everything else with very, very little evidence. if and i do not as said to you, this lady, susan , who i've met this lady, susan, who i've met in the past , this lady, susan, who i've met in the past, and i can assure you is not a racist in any or form, but all this lady did wrong, in my view , that she put wrong, in my view, that she put her hand on this room is here to move . she could read the badge. move. she could read the badge. yes asked the woman. where the from , where she was from. maybe from, where she was from. maybe she asked two or three times. maybe she didn't twig that what she was trying to say , i don't she was trying to say, i don't know. but it's one of the questions that you meet questions that when you meet members the royal family, members of the royal family, particularly members of the royal is of the

royal family is one of the questions to ask. where do you you know, just standard you know, it's just a standard question yeah, well, we question i got. yeah, well, we will all be pleased to know charles will be pleased to charles will all be pleased to know lady susan hussey, 80 know that lady susan hussey, 80 odd who's been around know that lady susan hussey, 80 oddworld who's been around know that lady susan hussey, 80 oddworld morenho's been around know that lady susan hussey, 80 oddworld more times)een around know that lady susan hussey, 80 oddworld more times than around the world more times than anybody, met anybody, hot dinners and met more people , every different more people, every different walk life and corner this walk of life and corner this globe. will now going away globe. she will now going away to re—educate and become more culturally aware. good grief, charles. thank you very much. charlie wright, charles. thank you very much. charlie wright , exotic stuff. charlie wright, exotic stuff. former royal correspondent at the sun. we'll be sticking with this. and we're going to go right now to some of our very own gb news viewers. yes, we've got julie shaw and we've got bnan got julie shaw and we've got brian doogan as well on the line, i believe. are they? yes, hopefully fingers crossed. julie start with you. yes. good stuff . okay. all right, julie, great fans tastic outfit, by the way, can i say? oh no? actually, hang on a second. sorry. done i didn't even mean that. but actually, in relation to what we're going talk about now, we're going to talk about now, sorry for pointing out sorry for sorry for pointing out that wearing a fantastic that you're wearing a fantastic outfit. ask where you're

think maybe the kind of what would you it maybe elderly claims illness which and there is a big difference brian there is a big difference brian there is a big difference brian there is a difference patrick absolutely. there's a difference in terms of if it's the elderly clumsiness comes across the wrong way. but look in of, you know, races , it's how it's know, races, it's how it's received . well, and so the received. well, and so the sympathy has to be with the person who who receives, i think and that's where our empathy needs to lie. and that's why people are re—educating themselves and correcting themselves and correcting themselves and correcting themselves and but look, you know, i don't whether the intention was whether she is intrinsically racist , i don't intrinsically racist, i don't know that i only susan hussey will know that herself , but she will know that herself, but she has apologised for what happened and i think that's the right thing to do. brian, thank julie. i'll throw it back to you. i mean for somebody is allegedly a racist. i mean immediately standing down meeting face to face with someone to apologise

how, utterly promising to go away and re—educate. mean, how, utterly promising to go away haves—educate. mean, how, utterly promising to go away have to educate. mean, how, utterly promising to go away have to be cate. mean, how, utterly promising to go away have to be quite mean, how, utterly promising to go away have to be quite sorean, how, utterly promising to go away have to be quite so well she'd have to be quite so well camouflaged, racist i would suspect, if she is one, because she have held our hands she seems to have held our hands up as though royal up. do you feel as though royal family have made a mis calculation here when it comes to the mood the public may be wanted them to just just do what they throughout the they you know, throughout the course history is to very course of history is to say very little and let things blow little and just let things blow over. little and just let things blow over . that's exactly what they over. that's exactly what they should have done , just fuelling should have done, just fuelling it more by this. and i no it even more by this. and i no doubt that that lady many how to as a and it's just ridiculous it's just going to go on and on and feel this this this that harry and meghan are to do now. i think it's a cover up and i think pattern going to come out . yeah nothing call this is a lead up to that so i've got really sorry if you think something is going to come out you say i do yeah i think ken paternity is going to come out and that's going to be an and it's not this thousands of people who think the same as me

different companies . so we different train companies. so we know that's who they in know that's who they are in dispute with way they tried dispute with the way they tried to meeting lynch with to a meeting mick lynch with with the rail minister hugh murray mound yesterday , but murray mound yesterday, but nothing have from nothing seemed to have come from . and so he's going to be going back the negotiation table to back to the negotiation table to try out some kind of try and sort out some kind of deal this disruption and deal to stop this disruption and stop strikes. mick stop these strikes. but mick lynch kind positive lynch seemed kind of positive around said that around that. he said that resolutions , disputes about resolutions, disputes are about compromises and we understand what the companies want and they understand what we need. we need some on some compromise on the conditions, offer conditions, putting on the offer and we'll need some improvement on the pay offer as well. that was an offer gone to 5% this year and 4% next year. but that rejected. and so people are left with disruption . but in terms of with disruption. but in terms of what the people of birmingham think case, what have you had to say? well, i caught up with them being selfish. like to being selfish. i do like to birmingham christmas so it's not great for the public going in and out of it's not ideal really it's not possible and often name

the things we paid most of the railway strike it's not going well there are the strikes coming up. they need to make people listen and the only way they'll do it is to stop working. so whether we like it or not, it's got to happen. and i understand yet they don't get paid enough money, how hard they work . but from my point of view, work. but from my point of view, it's annoying that i understand from of view, it's from that point of view, it's probably as. well, probably annoying as. well, i suppose pay suppose people need better pay and conditions and better working conditions and better working conditions and to try and and that's the way to try and draw attention. it so draw people's attention. it so yeah, i mean if you don't support them, you're against it. i it happens in so many i think it happens in so many professions. public so professions. the public so easily i think easily against and yeah i think we just for them so that's what people here in birmingham have been telling me in terms of the actual negotiations and going forwards , we know the tsa forwards, we know the tsa actually accepted their offer put forward by network rail which was a 9% increase for this and 11% for the next year for people on lower incomes, more job security as well. so there are deals starting to be done

here, but there's still seems to be no movement really. the rmt and network government ministers trying to push for this negotiations, but they're going to continue . but for people to continue. but for people here, this disruption continue. today, there's been no london railway services, but been no west midlands railway services all. and there could have been no fit for the next week. well action continue. so for the next week, for the new year, the no dealis week, for the new year, the no deal is made. there's going to strikes, strike strikes. yes. there we go. jack's thank you very, very much. i really hope there's a coffee shop somewhere near you, nip in and out of whilst we well whilst go to gaps in the share between below john thank you very much john collison are gb news reports live from birmingham just yeah well we've got loads coming your way actually by the way can i just say a really interesting turn of events in the inbox here and i just want to highlight a couple of quite a few you got in touch to say in the wake of that breaking that lady susan hussey has apologised to ngozi fulani

in a to face face meeting at buckingham palace that the king and the queen were aware of and that we kept abreast that lady susan hussey has said that she's going to go away and essentially re—educate herself about racism and the connotations that i hate to say , but a lot of you have to say, but a lot of you have gonein to say, but a lot of you have gone in touch, say you have lost for the royal family as a result of them doing that , have you. i of them doing that, have you. i never thought i saw this here on gb news gbviews@gbnews.uk has the news that lady susan hussey with it realistically that to be honest you the royal family have actually to ngozi fulani hadley over the aisle. where do you come from? stuff that took place the royal race has that you lose respect for the royal family interesting stuff gbviews@gbnews.uk got those emails coming in but coming up the latest northern ireland where richie sunak has been meeting political leaders. but before that let's have a look at your weather weather .

lots of reaction as i'm you can understand to the latest comes this royal race row . it does this royal race row. it does appear that lady susan has his apologised to ngozi fulani. a lot of you getting in touch to say you've lost respect for the royal family as a result of say you've lost respect for the that, we'll bring you the on that, we'll bring you the on that as it comes. we're moving to completely to on something completely different more famous different as someone more famous than i used to say, richie sunak has his first visit to has made his first visit to northern prime northern ireland as prime minister. night with minister. last night he met with the leaders, the parties, at the leaders, all the parties, at a when the sharing a time when the sharing agreement this agreement is still not in this morning, visited belfast morning, he visited belfast shipyard the return shipyard heralding the return shipbuilding to the city for the first time in 20 years. gb news is fan favourite. the housewife's choice? some would say dougie beattie in northern ireland joins. say dougie beattie in northern ireland joins . us now? he asked. ireland joins. us now? he asked. dougie, how's life? what's on? well it's very, very cold here,

i can tell you and the user and northern irish and you have heard your legs, like when bush sits down to air but rishi sunak he into northern ireland last night . absolutely into the night. absolutely into the middle a rhi a court case and belfast ruled that edwin poots the agricultural minister who tried to stop the checks at the border here of european goods coming in at night and british goods coming in. and i was that this is part of the eu. gb must be treated as a third country and rishi sunak now becomes the first prime minister to into northern ireland as an annexed state. he then on to meet all the parties to , see how he gets the parties to, see how he gets the parties to, see how he gets the good friday up and running again. so the parties could sit behind us . of course, unionists behind us. of course, unionists were very angry at what had went on yesterday and don't see any benefits tonight and re—entering the institutions behind us because the protocol, of course, takes away ireland from the united kingdom . so those in

united kingdom. so those in northern ireland , they call northern ireland, they call themselves british and to be part of the united kingdom . and part of the united kingdom. and there are those that are irish and of course that is what the good friday was all about. the concern and how that got around now. so rishi sunak took them out last night, talked to them , out last night, talked to them, had that meeting, they all said it was very pleasant. but jeffrey donaldson had this to say clear at the moment given the limitations of their negotiating mandate that . we're negotiating mandate that. we're just not the in the space where a deal can be delivered that really addresses the fundamental issues and that for us means restoring place within the uk internal . market well he wasn't internal. market well he wasn't too pleased and was no room to be going there, but of course the eu and britain have moving ever closer to what they think might be a deal. ursula von der leyen was in last week. she was saying bye really to me. who?

hey, welcome back . everybody is hey, welcome back. everybody is patrick christys here on gb news. now, after the last few days and we're going to expect this coming your way as well for another few days or a couple of weeks. the toys in labour have come to conclusion. the royal college nursing is demand of college of nursing is demand of a 19% pay rise is simply unaffordable. health unaffordable. the shadow health secretary wes streeting today that if labour were power, they wouldn't agree to a 19% pay rise. it was ratings, defence.

keir starmer is also part of this. annalise also said something very, very similar. so with both the major now appearing to be in agreement, the pay rise or lack major one anyway, i want to ask if the nurses strikes are an appointment cancelling waste of time. joining now is former brexit party mep lacy and co—chair of momentum hilary shann. great to have you on the show. i will start with you. i believe that the pledge before fantastic to have you on the show. right so the nurses strikes , are they a waste strikes, are they just a waste of time? neither political party is going to give them what they want. the meantime, patients want. in the meantime, patients suffer. i of course it's not suffer. no, i of course it's not a waste of time at all. and all the nurses on strike deserve our full support solidarity and full support and solidarity and quite it's an absolute quite frankly it's an absolute shame on this government that they have got to a point with nhs that they have seen the first strike in the nation's history . and i think that just history. and i think that just shows bad the situation shows how bad the situation is because are people that, you

know, they care people for a living they will take this living they will not take this sort action lightly . i just sort of action lightly. i just i'm going to stick with you for a second because presumably this would also have happened under labour because labour is labour that it because labour is saying, don't to saying, no, we don't want to give what want. and if give them what they want. and if you look at facts and you really look at the facts and figures well, there's been figures as well, there's been a 39% pay increase funding in real terms in the nhs since 2010. i think a lot people would say that's money. this would have happened under labour , would it happened under labour, would it not? i mean, the nhs been chronically underfunded a long time and with privatisation creeping in as well, you know, money has been syphoned the wrong places in the nhs that that's issue and that's why we always argue for a fully funded pubuc always argue for a fully funded public owned health service . and public owned health service. and so the fact of funding is, is, is absolutely chronic. but yes , is absolutely chronic. but yes, it does need to be fully funded and publicly owned . all right, and publicly owned. all right, beunda and publicly owned. all right, belinda de lucy, former brexit party mep, do you think fewer people think nurses are angels now? belinda yeah, well, i still

nurses are angels. i have huge respect for nurses and the job they do i imagine the hours that they do i imagine the hours that they have to spend running around comforting sick the ill, the frightened clearing messes that we wouldn't dream doing day in, day out. i fully support them and their job. in, day out. i fully support them and theirjob. i do , in, day out. i fully support them and their job. i do , though them and theirjob. i do, though this feels very political . why this feels very political. why choose the cruellest time of year to strike, especially when both labour and the conservative are refusing to agree to support their demands for that huge increase. why choose now? the nhs is under the pressure at wintertime . nhs is under the pressure at wintertime. i nhs is under the pressure at wintertime . i was nhs is under the pressure at wintertime. i was in a&e all night with one of my little ones. this nasty is bringing children in, filling up hospitals . you know, there are hospitals. you know, there are more patients now from the flu in hospital than there were covid patients in that year of covid. we had . and it is it is

covid. we had. and it is it is unbelievable that they choose this time of year. it's a very cruel thing to do, especially especially when there is nothing to gain from it. but i do fully respect on this. it's just now is not the time to strike. saying now is not the time i think the big one. and i agree with what's on the front of the times at the minute. i think they even bigger one is going to be ambulance strikes. we are be the ambulance strikes. we are staring barrel. i think staring down the barrel. i think that what there is by that is what there is by definition is something more immediate an immediate about getting an ambulance to whether ambulance as opposed to whether or nurses there are or not your nurses there are supposed. back supposed. i'll throw it back over hilary the co—chair over to you. hilary the co—chair of momentum. look, i've to ask you. no surprise to you. it comes as no surprise to me that you are back in favour of a nurses pay rise. i can't help but notice that momentum obviously with jeremy obviously had links with jeremy a t £1.2 trillion. additional at £12 trillion. additional spending mean, spending splurge. corbyn i mean, if your we won't if you divide it, your we won't have money actually give have the money to actually give him rise because we'd him a pay rise because we'd all be we'll well, no, be skin. we'll make. well, no, that's not true because what we backis that's not true because what we back is obviously the redistribution of wealth. so redistribution of wealth. and so if at what the i have if you look at what the i have costed the pay rise that it's £10 billion and if you taxed put

a wealth tax people with over £10 million of assets in this country of just 1. it would raise tha t £10 billion. so this raise that £10 billion. so this is about political choices . and is about political choices. and to come to this point about why now? the reason they're striking now? the reason they're striking now is because we're in the middle. an economic cost of living crisis and nurses can't afford to feed themselves and to call nurses angels and then accuse them of being cruel is just unbelievable rhetoric . just unbelievable rhetoric. belinda, i'll let you come back to that and also follow up with a question as to whether or not you just think there is the see an option way too out now and not give them any more money. well look, i think the timing cruel. absolutely. because they've for they've been underpay paid for years. i do the tory years. and i do the tory government to for you government have a lot to for you know they're spending £7 billion of taxpayers money on woke diversity inclusion and quangos and measures . £7 billion could and measures. £7 billion could have been used to help nhs nurses. secondly you say the nhs doesn't have enough money, so

why are they spending doesn't have enough money, so why are they spendin g £40 why are they spending £40 million a year on ridiculous positions like diversity managers ? and the latest one managers? and the latest one i've seen is live this experienced manager. the only kind of experience you can have, belinda, is someone pointed out to me, the only kind of experience can is lived experience can have is lived experience can have is lived experience not living. experience otherwise not living. but i think is about but i do think is about mismanagement money i do mismanagement of money i do think it is a cruel time to strike. i support people striking but listen, what's really fundamentally important to understand is the financial struggle nurses are going they're not unique to nurses everyone is going through a struggle now. everyone is taking home less. everyone is having higher bills we should all be in together. instead, the general pubuc together. instead, the general public are being hit by high taxes , hit by cost of living, taxes, hit by cost of living, and now hit by our nurses, striking railway workers, striking railway workers, striking so can't see our families at risk from from not getting the treatment we when we stop getting going to be upset. choose your time strike that protects the public and still gets attention from the government . hilary, i'm really

government. hilary, i'm really keen to get your because that does happen. you can obviously come back everything belinda come back to everything belinda said, get views said, but i'm keen to get views on on else because on on something else because i think quite uniquely think you're quite uniquely placed, very grateful placed, i'm very, very grateful you co—chair of momentum you as the co—chair of momentum of on because we do get of come on because we do get a lot people with shall i say, lot of people with shall i say, you know from political side that just refuse to have these kind discussions. am very, kind of discussions. i am very, very grateful when come very grateful when you come on and about this. so and talk to us about this. so thank you very much. but because of side of it, i of that political side of it, i do want to you a bit about do want to ask you a bit about your take on the labour your take on why the labour party at the moment. right, because i is because what i find is fascinating keir starmer fascinating is keir starmer seems be sitting on the fence seems to be sitting on the fence a what have a little bit. what they have said like wes streeting is that realistically they're not going to give whopping great to give them a whopping great big positioning big pay rise positioning themselves. more on the themselves. i think more on the side patience the nurses side of patience than the nurses unions. is labour party that unions. it is labour party that drifting union drifting away its kind of union route the workers may route really and the workers may be well is absolutely the problem is that the labour party was founded to represent working people. you know, the clue is in the name and yes, we would like keir starmer to off the fence

and to be honest it's politically not smart because we've seen a yougov poll that's just come out that shows 64% of people in this country , the people in this country, the nurses strike. so know this is popular. and so i do think should get off the fence. and i do think he should be backing it. he should be back in the nurses. okay. or and you think that presumably that even if that presumably that even if that maybe costs him at the ballot box, you don't think it will at the ballot box? will cost at the ballot box? it's clearly they've that it's clearly they've made that calculation. hilary. yeah calculation. and hilary. yeah well, the polls well, they i mean, the polls speak we we see speak differently, we say we see that the polls have said this week that the public backs the striking people, that people love nhs. they love the people that work for. love nhs. they love the people that work for . they know that that work for. they know that they got us through the pandemic and want to see them and they want to see them treated and everybody treated properly and everybody as belinda just said, is in a cost of living costs at the moment, including nurses. although i would argue that the people are not taking home less are and are corporate giants and profiteering oil and gas companies just because . i'm companies just because. i'm going to get shouted down. just

want of you. very want a number, each of you. very quickly, belinda, rise quickly, belinda, the pay rise that would willing to that you would be willing to given us, i the average pay for a nurse should be 3530 7000 a yeah a nurse should be 3530 7000 a year. okay. all right what do you say to yourself, hilary? would you just give him the 19. i would and i would tax the well save 1% of that. so okay, both of you, very important. thank you very much. people's money, that socialism . oh, okay. okay that socialism. oh, okay. okay okay. all right, both of you. thank you very stiff, as always. that's what you. a debate is never over, linda. see form of brexit policy have a pay good stuff that and of course the guys a medicine hillary guys have a medicine hillary sign okay moving sign right okay we're moving on we're on because we're moving on people because this story that is very this is a story that is very close to heart will be close close to my heart will be close to a lot of people's hearts veterans. i in this country get hung out dry too often we hung out to dry far too often we are about make mistake about are about make no mistake about this are about to this people. we are about to have very stark in this have a very stark image in this country of this military barracks being used to house who've here illegally who've come here illegally across whilst across the channel whilst homeless military veterans up a sleeping the pavement sleeping bag on the pavement outside around the

outside that is around the corner that is coming to a disused military barracks. you but another military but there is another military story today and there's story town today and there's very much two sides to this. one the government has announced is launching inquiry into allegations troops allegations that sas troops murdered , afghan civilians murdered, afghan civilians unlawfully during night—time raids, defence minister andrew morrison said that the inquiry would investigate some and alleged unlawful activity by the british armed forces . it will british armed forces. it will also look at the adequacy of subsequent into such allegations. so joining me now is sas trooper big phil campaign . phil, thank you very much. great to be on the show. i know you've been out there little you've been out there a little while talk me a little while right? talk to me a little bit this inquiry. i've bit about this inquiry. i've spoken his spoken a lot about his prosecutions. this slightly prosecutions. this is slightly more know more by the more recent you know more by the may what's going to may take it away what's going to turn to be about it and i know know enough to know that there's two sides every story now two sides to every story it now what far is a is what we've had so far is a is a is a panorama which is the one sided bias that was only spoken to it to the enemy. it's spoken an australian signaller who's

quite frankly laundry would as far as borders most of these people in battle. and it also spoke some disgruntled policemen who wouldn't show his face so their stuff held no credibility whatsoever for me. they showed footage which had been acquired off the internet of australian troops and then this thing together to and with some enemy testimonies . i've come up with testimonies. i've come up with this concocted story to which i would say couldn't hold water even if you could manage , to get even if you could manage, to get them all in one room. how could you trust anybody involved in this investigation whatsoever? so what they've they've so what they've done is they've a lot of and they've set a lot of noise and they've set thing motion. and think , to thing in motion. and i think, to be inquiry , the way be honest, this inquiry, the way i read it from there , i got from i read it from there, i got from them about him. it is the have a look at do these investigations come up in the first place but does this thing is absolutely shocking be well the shocking to be well the allegation is that there were more than executions isaf soldiers in afghanistan in a variety of different afghan villages and towns british

troops allegedly killed civilians cold blood all of that stuff. now you are saying that you think that our government potentially the people responsible for this inquiry have may be taking the word of , have may be taking the word of, as you said, the enemy over our own troops. would that be a fair assessment where you're at with this? yeah i can't see where else it's coming from. i really can't even investigate it. it was i think it was the norwood investigation. another one i'm going absolutely going to come to absolutely nothing but where they managed to, get something outside to, get something else outside of can't see of what they had. i can't see what possibly have. what they could possibly have. i really ever . then there's really can't ever. then there's this tale told the bbc. i really can't . it's is slightly the can't. it's is slightly the other thing that you've not seen because we've not heard from the other side. you've not heard the troops side of this story. now, beanng troops side of this story. now, bearing in mind when they took this being on inherit, i always have decided that they needed do something because something right away because there was something like 5330 devices which had been injury blowing up, crippling,

destroying cutting, maiming and all that sort of stuff and something needed to be done . something needed to be done. it's a very difficult, tricky . it's a very difficult, tricky. okay. troops would have gone in, done their thing, come back and the people on the ground who left office or had a not feeling too good about things. well, you know they've now had ten years to concoct the story, which might fit their now . i might fit their purposes now. i mean i am immensely mean look phil i am immensely grateful, you well know for grateful, as you well know for people like yourself and people in the for doing just an in the sas for doing just an incredible job. can't help incredible job. and i can't help but wonder . slightly bigger but wonder. slightly bigger picture, had this picture, we've had it with this story prosecutions that dennis hutchins poor that i think story prosecutions that dennis was facing trial over was facing his third trial over the historic allegations that i found acquitted , died whilst found acquitted, died whilst awaiting trial third time around. unbelievably poor stuff that really wound me up. historic prosecutions do really well. i mean, if you want to someone who wants to go into the military who is there of an unfortunate fact you might be asked to be sent into most dangerous, the most messy, the most murky situations in world, and then before to take swift

action . and then years down the action. and then years down the line, you just might find yourself in cool and not protected but the evidence right now suggests that's exactly what could happen to you. you know, where does it stop ? but where where does it stop? but where does this actually stop? you unless i can. i mean, i'm really, really hoping to somebody this decision somebody within this decision making process as well. let's see what can be done to stop this whole thing rolling out complete from the start. you know, make because appears know, i make because it appears at moment to be very, very one sided and it's on the side against our own people. do not make it's incredible. it really is. well, thank very much. always a pleasure. big fail competing access true per regular here on gb news. right now we're moving on people because today isn't just old friday. no that's right. it's not. it's black friday. that is said to be the busiest of the year for the emergency services. well, good luck with that. the way things are going, a security police and ambulances, they brace for the brace themselves for off the wall christmas celebrate

should lady susan hussey offered the apology. what does mean for the apology. what does mean for the royal family? i've been asking to comment on this and actually are some fascinating ones. i'm going to go to them shortly actually. i'm going to go to shortly because go to them shortly because i want to get stuck straight in with guests. is former with the guests. who is former royal correspondent michael kamarck only royal correspondent michael kamtime only royal correspondent michael kamtime yesterday only royal correspondent michael kamtime yesterday you're only this time yesterday you're on the. lots of the. but there we go. lots of royal news for us to right royal news for us to go right those are people michael loads people saying this is really really from buckingham really weak from buckingham palace cancel palace caved in to woke cancel culture obviously this apology is entirely in keeping with lady susan's sense of duty and i knew her for several years when i was going around the world in the train of the late queen and lady susan was always pleasant, kind , courteous and welcoming people in all sorts of situations and all sorts of people. now she's 83. she's a widow she served her majesty queen for 63 years in an

honorary . that means she's honorary. that means she's wasn't paid and she was the head girl and she did the job terribly well. but as you know, patrick racism is the issue of the and obvious she's moved quickly to distance the royal family. she has and i think you make a really fascinating that monica is one echoed by a chap called stephen in the inbox who actually just said i think that you look at lady susan, she's behaved with great generosity and way, both and integrity all the way, both in and now and in in a career and now and in particular, applaud them particular, i applaud them applaud with ms. applaud her meeting with ms. forlani she had not we have never heard end of it. is never heard the end of it. is this actually an example lady this actually an example of lady susan hussey here doing almost this actually an example of lady susfinalrssey here doing almost this actually an example of lady susfinal duty here doing almost this actually an example of lady susfinal duty despiteing almost this actually an example of lady susfinal duty despite the almost this actually an example of lady susfinal duty despite the factyst her final duty despite the fact that she probably feels absolutely sort live and may be thrown to the wall. she thought i can take the heat off . the i can take the heat off. the royals here by meeting with lady apologising her and promising to go away and learn the situation. is this heard sense of duty

shining through ? yes you make an shining through? yes you make an excellent point, though . oblige. excellent point, though. oblige. it used to be called . the it used to be called. the problem is you see racism . it's problem is you see racism. it's an easy allegation to make and is almost impossible to refute because you have to prove a negative now. well, almost reverting to 17th century massachusetts excitable teenage girls were able to point at old women and say she's a witch and innocent old ladies were hanged or pressed to death by having stones paint placed upon their chests . now you only have to say chests. now you only have to say she's a racist and denounce on social media and the rest of that woman's has a cloud hanging over it. that woman's has a cloud hanging overit.i that woman's has a cloud hanging over it. i hope it's not a deep foul for lady susan hussey because i think she's a decent person , but that's what we've person, but that's what we've got to and we need is arthur miller where is he now to write a play a follow up to the crucible about that sort of

witch finding mentioned witch hunts earlier in another context of is what we have now . michael, of is what we have now. michael, i've got to ask you about this now. i wasn't there. you weren't we weren't that when incident took place. but i was there for the aftermath of it , was there the aftermath of it, was there for all of the media reports about some gutsy forlani. i was there to witness her and her daughter. i believe actually or head of operations . daughter. i believe actually or head of operations. i think she was calling her at the time, which i thought was funny doing the media rounds on just being full fawned over by the press . full fawned over by the press. one thing i am concerned about is the palace straight away . is the palace straight away. either gave old susan hussey the heaveit either gave old susan hussey the heave it were she says that she will she may well been published. this appears to be a lot less of the reporting about what i would regard as pretty serious allegations relating to ngozi fulani charity. this despite the charity is certainly interested in various different allegations. some of these allegations. some of these allegations include the misappropriation of funds or

where did this funding come from and why did manage to actually get a hold of some of this funding ? were they a bit fruity funding? were they a bit fruity about their client base and actually was employed actually who was employed by company accounting for company in their accounting for their accounts? these are just allegation very to allegation is very important to say and is entirely up to the charity commission to whether or not take a closer not they want to take a closer look at this. in light of look at this. but in light of this, message does this this, what message does this send royal family send out from the royal family that can point that someone can go and point the finger lady and say, the finger an old lady and say, i think she was being racist, get very much one side of the story . and then the policy is story. and then the policy is fine lady to apologise fine for this lady to apologise to fulani fact that, to ngozi fulani the fact that, well, let's honest there are serious marks over her serious question marks over her character . well i can't speak to character. well i can't speak to that and know nothing about these allegations . and i'm sure these allegations. and i'm sure that the truth will emerge eventually. but what i am sure and i saw lady susan many different situations. i'm sure there was malice intended. she didn't mean offend this woman . didn't mean offend this woman. as i understand it, everybody was wearing nametags and that's

how this lady knew she was speaking to lady susan . and i'm speaking to lady susan. and i'm quite sure. well, i that she may have seen her name said well that's an interesting name and then the conversation ensued i think problem we have now if conversations are going be reduced to pleasant tourism platitudes it's going to be a rather boring world, one thing that lady susan might have thought of learned from the after all these years, the queen had a favourite opening gambit with people . people couldn't with people. people couldn't take offence from. and she would always say , have you come for always say, have you come for you come for well, but the problem though, the problem is that even that might be sacrifice because you can see how that be. someone say have you come far a question and, you come far as a question and, then the response says, well, why do you think would have come far. oh well, i just don't know. i where you from? i don't know. where you from? well, do you i'm well, what do you think i'm from? and if you really want to, you can make a big deal out of

it. and absolutely livid about this that isn't this stuff, as if that isn't shining already. and this stuff, as if that isn't shiralli already. and this stuff, as if that isn't shirall very already. and this stuff, as if that isn't shirall very wellilready. and this stuff, as if that isn't shirall very well and dy. and this stuff, as if that isn't shirall very well and good.d this stuff, as if that isn't shirall very well and good. ms. it's all very well and good. ms. forlani saying, well, i accept that no malice involved. i've got to whether got a question marks to whether or malice was involved or not malice was involved and it if alana's response to, it goes if alana's response to, well, , well, perhaps well, your view, well, perhaps you perhaps you to ask her in and i'm quizzer on this, but i suppose are people who around the world anxious already or willing to be offended. i mean, you and i patrick, we've been insulted experts over the years. i think, and rightly so not this time, rightly so. i understand. i deserve , i deserve to be i deserve, i deserve to be harangued on numerous occasions . carry on. yes. no well, i mean, we don't get terribly about it. i think you have to have a bit of a skin, a thick skin. i mean, that's the rough and tumble of life of conversation. i mean, i worked at the bbc some of the conversations heard there. it would call your hair, but people got with it. it was part of small change of life . if we are

small change of life. if we are all going to have to guard every word we say, it's going to make us slightly less interesting . us slightly less interesting. patrick, michael thank you very much. i have a goodbye michael called the former royal correspondent, right. i'm just going read something. going to read something. you emails but what emails out but context but what you thinking i've been you guys been thinking i've been asking as news drop asking you as this news drop that ngozi fulani has received a full apology lady full frontal apology from lady susan nosey. on top susan like she's nosey. on top of this said that of that, got this and said that she's pledged deepen her over 84 years old. ladies ladies by the way been around the world, been this country for decades and decades and decades. mavericks person from every single culture from every single corner of the world anyway. now lady susan houses , the results of ngozi houses, the results of ngozi fulani has pledged to deepen her of the sensitivities involved right . and is grateful for the right. and is grateful for the opportunity see to learn more about the issues this area i'm just going to read you into the report here palace race row accuser ngozi fulani charity draws watchdog's attention after allegations. and we'll just let those two things sit side by

left in the lurch. businesses are the effects of the are feeling the effects of the strikes especially in the hospitality sector because frankly people gets the frankly people call gets the pubs, and restaurants pubs, clubs and restaurants especially and this is tradition anyway busy season. joining me now is the director of kpmg hospitality larking. he hospitality sammy larking. he claims that the have cost him £50,000. good to see you again you very much. i was a whopping great big amount of money did just in the strikes out right. no patrick we don't the sharks outright i mean obviously the key factor that we respect that the action , the timing of it has the action, the timing of it has hurt our business. and we can't get away from that. unfortunately obviously, you know, i mean, some people are certainly around the london area , supposed to be absolutely ramoji mean, you could have fired a cannon on, the tube that was on last night and you wouldn't have actually hit anyone. it was remarkable how quiet that is pretty quiet is. and that is pretty much don't want to much because don't want to bother out if rail bother going out if are rail strikes or if they think that's what are you going to do to, cover your losses that you just have swallow for ?

have to swallow it for? unfortunately, would unfortunately, yes, that would be . mean, luckily, we be the case. mean, luckily, we managed keep one hire and move to february but i mean this is our busiest week of the year we've got a weekend coming up with more strike. you know we we're on one of the busiest streets by of the busiest stations in london and you know walking trade is a massive part of our business on a friday saturday night. so you are noticing you are noticing that thatis noticing you are noticing that that is being reduced to . mick that is being reduced to. mick lynch came out and he said, well, look he's not going to have that big an impact. i will not directly targeting christmas for who is for someone like yourself who is noticing over the noticing an impact over the christmas you think christmas period you think that's a bit of a whopper? yeah look, it's it is tough to take when we've taken from covid and everything that else is happening this year. energy you know, our bills are through the roof now and our margins are getting hit from every single angle. so to have this well was just an on another turn in what's been a very difficult year for that fast fatality sector as a whole. yeah. and of

course this, you know, people , course this, you know, people, the public sector are i suppose by definition public service the nature of what they do . i'm nature of what they do. i'm probably going to get shouted out for saying this, but i'll say it anyway . i don't for a lot say it anyway. i don't for a lot of these people i are some do they think is the only job that they think is the only job that they can on i don't get that when it's like about guards and all these people i'm deeply sympathetic to who feels that the jobs are under threat. i mean, goodness gracious me, i work in an industry where loads of they of people are freelance. they don't money don't know how money they're going one month to going to get from one month to the absolutely job the next. absolutely job security well, especially way security as well, especially way i fair. but when it i do it, to be fair. but when it comes to this, do you think the people i mean, people in the people i mean, people in the people in the private sector being given job security, presumably jobs are now presumably that jobs are now being called question being called into question a little bit well like little bit because. well like you losing money. you were losing money. yeah, i look like we're exactly look like where we're exactly the same have multiple staff on zero hour contracts who have just lost on key hours before i'm so . yeah. look at the end of i'm so. yeah. look at the end of the day everyone's feeling the

pinch right now and everyone needs cash in their pockets but i think there was a way to go about and they've gone about it in very disruptive way . so we in very disruptive way. so we say, okay, great to have you on, good luck on as well. good luck with not only the strikes but also black friday. i'm hearing that it also black friday. i'm hearing thatitis also black friday. i'm hearing that it is tonight as. also black friday. i'm hearing that it is tonight as . well, that it is tonight as. well, apparently you end up with that out of the works days and they just go knock each others together. so there go. simon, together. so there we go. simon, thank very much. kick thank you very much. i'll kick that of and that director of k and g hospitality. we're moving on because all we've been on gb because you all we've been on gb news. we've only about 40 minutes cram in a world of minutes to cram in a world of news. a new inquiry been launched sars launched into whether sars fighters illegally murdered civilians in afghanistan. is this worthwhile as an investigation . well, delving investigation. well, delving into it is to sidestep . investigation. well, delving into it is to sidestep. but i can't help but wonder whether or not this is just another witch hunt. so our armed forces, mark my words , people, we are going my words, people, we are going to see optics very soon of to see the optics very soon of a disused military being used to house people who've just come here across the here illegally across the channel up a channel where the zipping up a sleeping the pavement. i

sleeping bag on the pavement. i can't but wonder whether can't help but wonder whether not have gone a little not things have gone a little bit would make bit skew. if you would make patrick christys here on patrick christys right here on gb .

okay welcome back, everybody. patrick christys on gb news and yeah this is a very serious one. there's a lot to actually and i wanted to get stoke ross it. so an inquiry has announced into allegations of more 50 summary killings executions alleged executions by isaf soldiers in afghanistan now the inquiry was called by government and was made after of reports that these elite british troops apparently kill civilians in cold. well, in a statement , the house of a statement, the house of commons, the minister for defence , people and veterans defence, people and veterans said the ministry of defence would concede too long standing demands an independent statutory

after years of dismissing the idea, the inquiry will cover penod idea, the inquiry will cover period from mid 2010 to mid 2013. i can't help but feel as as a little bit more meets the eye when it comes to this story. all veterans, all often get hung out to dry in country. whether it has to do with homelessness or lack of decent mental health care. i've said it before. i'll say again, we are to see disused military barracks being used to house people who've come across the channel while potentially on the channel while potentially on the pavement outside will be a veteran zipping up his sleeping and another night in and bracing for another night in the sickens me to the the cold. that sickens me to the core we also have had core. we also have had unrelenting, historic prosecutions. like dennis prosecutions. people like dennis hutchins , who acquitted hutchins, who was acquitted twice murder and actually twice of murder and actually sadly died while he was awaiting his third trial for historic his third trial for a historic prosecute based the prosecute based around the troubles northern ireland. troubles in northern ireland. forgive me being very forgive me for being very sceptical about this current inquiry right now, but we will of course have wait and see when it comes to all of these. joining me now is gallantry

holder and veterans campaigner trevor. trevor, coach , thank you trevor. trevor, coach, thank you very, very much. write your initial reaction to . this initial reaction to. this inquiry, your views. initial reaction to. this inquiry, your views . another inquiry, your views. another scapegoating as far as i'm concerned , i'm i'm getting sick concerned, i'm i'm getting sick of buying and taking a knee let's say to public interest lawyers and trying to use soldiers , those on the ground as soldiers, those on the ground as a way of getting out of mistakes made by politicians . when made by politicians. when i first heard it, i was too, before i was even surprised . but before i was even surprised. but it's a it's about time project that you know you know veterans regardless what we signed up to that veterans are being hounded and politicians are letting go politicians are letting this happen. we have johnny mercer who you know is trying extreme me hard behind the lines to fixing but that shoulder's dead on the ground came from whitehall i worked in the that

you're talking about 18 to thousand 10 to 1313 and it was my job fly out and pick up high value high value targets al—qaeda and taliban commanders and bring back in for questioning . and you know, some questioning. and you know, some of those guys we brought in were evil. you know, i don't understand . people are sticking understand. people are sticking up for them. these people so evil, they were linked to . ieds, evil, they were linked to. ieds, they were caught them , dna or they were caught them, dna or biometrics. these had killed british soldiers, american , they british soldiers, american, they had killed coalition soldiers. and they were far dangerous to hand over to the afghan authorities because . the afghan authorities because. the afghan authorities because. the afghan authorities were so corrupt that they used to let them go and. they'd go back out on the battlefield and they would kill more british soldiers. it you know decent quite did did know what decent quite did did our special forces people on the ground our special forces job there was to go and seek the most dangerous people on the planet. theirjob is to go and put their life on the line to out and to keep us safe . they out and to keep us safe. they had an extremely difficult job and their job is either to

capture or, kill the evillest people on the planet. and you know what? they very good know what? they did a very good and allegations are and the allegations are about civilians so that's the allegation . roughly 5354 i think allegation. roughly 5354 i think it is alec . so people being it is alec. so people being killed essentially in cold blood. do you there's more than meets the eyes. is it very difficult to tell after the event or even during the event, exactly. who is a civilian , exactly. who is a civilian, those kind of environments, do you think it's very easy to. i'll tell you why. see the bullets start flying and the bombs start going off. civilians aren't there. civilians disappear. i tell you know, whenever i was working on afghanistan and the different missions that we didn't , there missions that we didn't, there was , no civilians are every was, no civilians are every single person that was on the ground. right. was was obviously enemy bombed and they were firing at us. so whenever people say you went into a village and you killed, it's like, can imagine somebody walking down the street. nine foreign a machine gun everyone machine gun right everyone that's civilian disappears that's a civilian disappears into the only people out into hiding. the only people out on ground are those that

hello. welcome everybody. patrick christys here on gb news. right now, prince william's godmother has apology ties through repeatedly asking a charity boss where she was from dunng charity boss where she was from during a reception. buckingham that lady susan hussey met and goes forlani in person to discuss incident. lazy susan. lazy lady susan has pledged to deepen her awareness of . the deepen her awareness of. the sensitivities involved look , sensitivities involved look, this is an absolute shocker as far as i'm concerned. a lot of you, ladies and gentlemen, in touch on that in boxing, you, ladies and gentlemen, in touch on that in boxing , you've touch on that in boxing, you've lost respect for the royal family, for bowing down in your vs anyway to woke culture allegations of racism to all of this stuff . but a couple of you this stuff. but a couple of you pointing out that maybe susan hussey is doing arguably final duty to the royal family after a lifetime of dedicated service by just sucking up, going, apologise , saying, vowing to be apologise, saying, vowing to be better or whatever and taking in the heat of the royal family maybe there's that element to it as well . maybe she wanted to do as well. maybe she wanted to do this anyway . with me now is

this anyway. with me now is sunil sharma , chief operating sunil sharma, chief operating officer conserves friends of officer of conserves friends of the commonwealth. sunil, thank you the big and you very much. look, the big and most is should lady susan most direct is should lady susan have apologised ? no and i don't have apologised? no and i don't think i think apology. i think there's a difference between racism and someone being maybe a little bit ignorant what lady susan did remotely racist . i susan did remotely racist. i think you have to a line in terms of what racism actually means . and if you look at what means. and if you look at what she said and did i don't think that falls into the category one bit, i think there obviously a level of maybe ignorance and so on who i would argue innocent nee is asking these sort of questions. i think it's perfectly in an environment especially her age, especially her upbringing, especially her age, especially her upbringing , to not her upbringing, to not necessarily be very clued up with what is socially to say now and, and i will give a personal

example with me . i go abroad. example with me. i go abroad. it's a regular i will get, which is , you know, where are you from is, you know, where are you from i would say british, but i know my skin slightly darker than the typical brit . my my skin slightly darker than the typical brit. my name is a bit different from the typical, so it's perfectly normal for someone to follow up when say where you actually from from you know would tend to ask an extra from and i would always answer similar british my parents born in india. yeah it's perfectly it's i think this really is going a bit well in terms race i suppose my follow up question has to be has marlene headley played the royal family in the british public and the vast majority of the british media like, an absolute fiddle turning up , changing like, an absolute fiddle turning up, changing a like, an absolute fiddle turning up , changing a name, of course, up, changing a name, of course, turning to a royal event, but certainly with a track record. well, definitely a track well, definitely with a track record particularly record not being particularly nice royal family nice about the royal family insinuating insinuating insinuating racism. insinuating domestic abuse against markle, and then turning up that, some

would argue, being quite evasive when asked a relatively straightforward question by an elderly woman with no track record of racism , then doing the record of racism, then doing the absolute rounds on british media, making most of it, and then going accepting this apology and all this look, has she, as she said she played the country like fiddle here for sure. it's great for her profile . it's great for her publicity . . it's great for her publicity. i think it's really harsh on lady susan. it's harsh the royal family. it puts them in an impulsive position because if they don't apologise, you know, we're really seeing nonsense of meghan markle and harry then, you know, maybe they they think that that adds some credibility somehow to whatever they're saying . so i think they're in a saying. so i think they're in a very almost an impossible position if they apologise that seen and bowing woke seen as weak and bowing woke culture. if they don't, then all of a sudden people may start to look the prince harry and look at the prince harry and meghan and think, oh, meghan accusation and think, oh, maybe legitimacy . maybe there is some legitimacy. even quite clear even though it's quite clear there isn't just there isn't. i just think sometimes , you know, we're sometimes, you know, we're really we've got to be careful

in when we're talking about racism and all this sort of stuff because when we use examples like it is two examples like all it does is two things. it portrays us very poorly as a country, the sort of racist country which we're not. and secondly is this when there is actual racism, when you it really downplays on that there are some rare instances , racism are some rare instances, racism and stuff like this just, you know, makes you really wonder what it is. let's look certainly i'm with you on basically everything that you've said that and i think there are instances of racism and i can't help but whether or not like this take the edge off that racism when people really need to apologise and i me that more isn't being made of miss forlani or as she's known . you know when it looks at known. you know when it looks at the charity commission now is having a well an interest shall say in sisters based charity it received hundred and 50 £700,000

in grants and donations according the accounts the year to march 2021, including for the london assembly. the culture department comment . serious department comment. serious question as to exactly how question marks as to exactly how or where some of that money was used or indeed how it managed to actually obtain that funding supposedly that supposedly based the fact that that was seeing a 300% that service was seeing a 300% increase, in its use. increase, allegedly in its use. no one really seems able to understand how managed to reach that figure . we're also seeing that figure. we're also seeing as fact that they as well the fact that they grants things like sewing grants for things like sewing machines when victims of machines and when victims of domestic violence to come domestic violence wanted to come in the sewing machines, in to use the sewing machines, they made pay allegedly they were made to pay allegedly they're to bring they're allegedly made to bring their mean their own textiles for it, mean it does of something it all does smack of something not being right there and not quite being right there and i just can't help feel like maybe the family shouldn't have apologised just yet to this lady . let maybe nature take its course when comes to things like the charity commission, they might regret to this particular individual. no i totally agree . individual. no i totally agree. it really smacks very similar of the black lives matter movement couple of years ago and now we've seen clear documents about

the scams, you know, them being way more than just this activist group that they keep saying that there are and they're clearly a political organised nation, clearly with some marxist beliefs and all this sort of stuff. it could be a very similar i would wish and love if lady had out just lady susan had come out just said, look, i'm an 83 year old white woman . this is a perfectly white woman. this is a perfectly normal up question. i didn't it in any sort of malicious way. if i offended anyone i'm sorry i moved on from . i don't think moved on from. i don't think forlani deserves time or the energy , the pictures or the or energy, the pictures or the or the video the time with her. i don't think she deserved or warranted that. i think i think we like you say i think in the next few weeks will be very the moments will be we see on her and the world and i say so because for me just smacks of blacklivesmatter. i it's it will be faster i think and i think it's very interesting. well to see what ngozi fulani has done marlene because is

marlene has done because is supposedly to spaces a step supposedly says to spaces a step back they're saying is due to the that they've received. i can't help but wonder whether or not or not might be not whether or not might be something bit to that something a bit more to that we'll to wait and see sara we'll have to wait and see sara well you and i will be well no doubt you and i will be waiting with interest when it comes all that stuff. so no, comes to all that stuff. so no, great to have you on the show as always. alok sharma, the always. my ftx alok sharma, the chief operating officer of conservative of conservative friends of the commonwealth. show will commonwealth. this show will be nothing joining nothing without you. and joining me of our very gb me are two of our very own gb news viewers. love getting news viewers. we love getting you show. love hearing you on the show. i love hearing from got malcolm from from you. we've got malcolm from lincolnshire believe lincolnshire i believe and judnh lincolnshire i believe and judith yorkshire goes tough judith from yorkshire goes tough great have you on the show great to have you on the show malcolm i'll start you the big story in town is this story in town today is this apology for lani apology to and goes for lani from susan hussey . what do from lady susan hussey. what do you make of it, malcolm oh, i'm absolutely flappy—gobbed ofsted and absolutely that she's and i'm absolutely that she's forced into this situation . the forced into this situation. the lady is given a lifetime of devotion to the royal family and especially the queen and she's been thrown to the wolves by a

comment or an accusation , comment or an accusation, someone that seems of very little credibility credibility . little credibility credibility. it's shameful what they've done. what i want to sorry . no, you go what i want to sorry. no, you go and finish that. go and finish. what are you going to say? what i want to see before this has come to light is actually from the palace, especially king charles to stand and actually a statement to try and put this rubbish to bed. okay alright . rubbish to bed. okay alright. disappointed i'm going to park. i'll get out, i'm going to pocket that amount. come on, you. judy, i can see you're itching to get involved here. what's on this? what's going on for you on this? well, tell you. i'll tell well, i'll tell you. i'll tell you what's going on. i was asked to come on and talk about the train strike and suddenly you've asked to talk about this. now asked me to talk about this. now it's is because. it's it's all is because. it's because of us. anyway, we'll do it strange trains. rosie it on strange trains. rosie that's right. did?

that's all right. you did? i wasn't aware of that. that's absolutely fine. if you don't feel comfortable talking about this doesn't it's this it doesn't bother me. it's all just ask you about all we can just ask you about train done a lot train strikes. we've done a lot about royal rail stuff. about the royal rail stuff. let's ask you about the train strikes. how do you feel about them? up. it's been them? got it fed up. it's been devastating me, but i devastating for me, but i am familiar , you in the familiar, you know, in the situation where you've not been able to travel when you've had very appointments to very important appointments to show a view of you lost you've lost out of you as a result of the train strikes judith absolutely, massively. patrick is it's been quite traumatic for me not being able to get down to london hospital appointments . london hospital appointments. this is the third one. this is andifs this is the third one. this is and it's the third time it coincidental it came it was the same time as the strikes to get an appointment with this particular it's probably easier to speak to king charles i don't know but you know to get these appointments and then to not be able to go has really had a big impact on while very, very to

hear that judith and mean i suppose that's the real world that's the real world consequences of what's going on and all of these knock on effects and you know i think when it comes to health care, people like me probably have been focusing a lot on well the nhs drugs, but actually the rail strikes on health strikes have an impact on health care as well, don't they people? i i do really. i said, well no, i do really. you get yourself so all the you must get yourself so all the best. i'm sorry sue to it very nearly spring a big royal rage round me i tell you wolf round me that i tell you wolf but i appreciate your but malcolm, i appreciate your views on of thank views as well on both of thank you so i'll be back you very much. so i'll be back on the show again very, very soon. malcolm was seen from lincolnshire judy's property lincolnshire on judy's property from initially the from yorkshire initially the role row then veering into role of row then veering into rails can't mix here. rails and it can't mix here. ladies gentlemen don't ladies and gentlemen don't mind about don't about about that. we don't mind about that i am moving that right. okay, i am moving on. time what on. split time. time is what i wanted to squeeze in because half brits have recently been half of brits have recently been somewhere been somewhere where they've been actively discouraged from using cash. actively discouraged from using cash . so they also are which cash. so they also are which interest the chance to be if i think if i saw a saturdays a car

park cafes, restaurants transport we're all among the where acceptance was at an where cash acceptance was at an all time low is britain heading all time low is britain heading a cashless society? i'm to be honest you be frank with honest, you to be frank with you, should we care if it you, why should we care if it is? joining me now is harry mount, editor oldie mount, editor of the oldie harry, we care about harry, why should we care about people not being able to get cash out, just shop online? may, what's well, awful what's going on? well, an awful of people including many of our older readers here at the oldie actually prefer spending cash and they feel more trust in cash if you actually lay out your money you know what you've spent you know not going to be subject to fraud. it also happens the other way round . someone like me other way round. someone like me is almost entirely actually sometimes it means you can't be instinctively generous. so staying at a hotel last weekend and there was a fantastic porter and there was a fantastic porter and i couldn't give him cash. but a friend of mine did have cash, so. so the lenders and i paid, but actually same with there's a there's a homeless lady outside the same just around the corner from here. i can't give her money because

going to cash so i buy the odd croissant but actually it makes life actually more difficult not being able to use cash or having the option. well you make a good point that look, people would say i do this quite the homeless is them for obvious reasons is gave them for obvious reasons maybe food something else as opposed to giving them the money whether it allows them pharoah don't about what i do but i don't about just what i do but i think the older generation as well now that i certainly as a couple elderly very close to couple of elderly very close to my sometimes so my heart and stay sometimes so they they would prefer to they wish they would prefer to have this is have the cash and this is problem is it look is it problem but is it look is it part of some big kind of global conspiracy? is there something to i think it's just to it or. i think it's just convenience. i is just convenience. i is just convenience. but actually, there's about there's something lovely about cash . no hope. patrick, this cash is. no hope. patrick, this christmas , old people close to christmas, old people close to you give , you a great wads of you give, you a great wads of cash at christmas. still more magic, isn't it, than saying selling for 50 quid your account? yeah yeah, well, it certainly is. it certainly. look, thank you very, very much. i'm was short and. i'm sorry it was short and. sweet we can pressed for sweet harry. we can pressed for time great to

time here, but it's great to have and as i'm sure you have you on. and as i'm sure you know slightly know where we're slightly overtaken what went overtaken by events, what went on in the palace, there's no doubt you'll be intrigued about as thank thank as well. i'm not. thank thank you much. course, you very, very much. of course, they wonderful. harry they are wonderful. harry mountain, right mountain, editor of oldie right now. why i've now. the reason why i've squeezed harry for want of a better phrase, it's not that kind chef is, actually, kind of chef is, actually, because the because as well, which the magazine consumer magazine which the consumer guide they've produced their top 50 products of the year for 2020. now if you are anything like me you're phenomenally disorganised . your loved ones disorganised. your loved ones usually end up a cop of a usually end up with a cop of a present, which is like an iou or something rehashed. i planning on doing all of christmas on doing all of my christmas shopping and want to tomorrow shopping and i want to tomorrow because that's me getting because that's just me getting out way parked car outside out way parked the car outside stuck at home with tatts and be done with it but it's another big year for a lot of you for a lot of people now you'll be hoping to receive big gifts. and i thought, oh, not now why not ask you, my lonely viewers and listeners what worst ever listeners what the worst ever christmas present received christmas present i've received a not disappointed ? you a new have not disappointed? you really have? no. i'm going to
