coming along this morning and welcome to ucl here east . now welcome to ucl here east. now this is a bit of london that some of you are getting pretty familiar with in the last few days. so i've decided that i want to look prime minister while i'm going on holiday this year , just in case i find him year, just in case i find him there as well. but look, 20, 23 marks a new chapter for britain with a new king to be crowned in may . we must look forward with may. we must look forward with hope. but therefore hope to flourish . britain needs change, flourish. britain needs change, but i don't think anyone seriously disputes that . it's seriously disputes that. it's the story of the country right now . amidst all the chaos. it's now. amidst all the chaos. it's a growing impatience for change, for real change, a lasting change, national renewal . and change, national renewal. and yes , as they've done throughout yes, as they've done throughout our history, the british people are turning to labour to provide

that. change in 2022, they've looked at us again and i felt for the first time in a while we could return their gaze with confidence that their gaze with confidence that the changes we've made of antisemitism , of national antisemitism, of national security and nato they're making economics , stability, the economics, stability, the platform for everything we do has restored a degree of trust , has restored a degree of trust, laid a foundation . and this year laid a foundation. and this year we've got to build on that . we've got to build on that. people know we care . they always people know we care. they always know the labour party cares and they can now see a party that is both competent and compassionate , a party that understands what it means to put service to the country first . of our task for

country first. of our task for 2023is country first. of our task for 2023 is not to rest on our laurels . we need to push forward laurels. we need to push forward and rise to the moment, prove we can be a bold, reforming government so not just what the tories have done to britain, but to britain that labour can build a fairer , greener, more dynamic a fairer, greener, more dynamic country with an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. and the politics which trust communities with the power to control their destiny . a new government and destiny. a new government and a new way of governing . britain new way of governing. britain needs both and with labour. britain will get both . britain will get both. that's my message of hope for the new year. we're going to roll up our sleeves , fix the roll up our sleeves, fix the problems and improve our country. we can't keep expecting the british people to just suck it up . not without the hope, the

it up. not without the hope, the possibility of something better . and don't get me wrong, i by no illusions about the scale of the challenges we face. houses would get burgled countless times, yet the police never come . hospitals, if you can believe it, putting out messages, begging patients to stay away from a&e . children going to from a&e. children going to school hungry . and it's not just school hungry. and it's not just the poorest who are struggling. millions of families , pensioners millions of families, pensioners working people, people who've always kept their heads above water are going without decent food and heating. cutting back on their holidays , their meals on their holidays, their meals out, christmas presents, all the little things that make life more enjoyable . now, sometimes more enjoyable. now, sometimes people say to me, we'll get through this . britain's been through this. britain's been through this. britain's been through worse and then, right. i grew up working class in the 1970s. i know what the cost of living crisis feels like . the living crisis feels like. the

anxiety and yes, the shame of not being able to pay bills that only months ago were affordable off home was cut off like this. by off home was cut off like this. by the way, that was it. when i mobiles back then we got through it . britain will get through it. it. britain will get through it. the problem is that's exactly what the tories are banking on. they're going to turn round in 2024 and try to claim some kind of political credit for the sacrifices. working people are making right now as if it's not their mistakes. people are paying their mistakes. people are paying for. again but the heart of this cynical . politics is of this cynical. politics is about. a i think we've lost sir keir starmer . i'm a i think we've lost sir keir starmer. i'm sitting here with

the liberals. you can see if you've just joined us. i was taking notes. listen to what he had to say. what a shame. we'll do everything we can to try and get that speech back. not a lot we can discuss at the moment, olivia, because there wasn't a huge in he's huge amount in there. he's talking change. how talking about change. that's how he wasn't he.7 the he started that, wasn't he? the change will provide change that labour will provide . he said change enormous . yeah, he said change enormous number of times in the first the parts of that speech . but what parts of that speech. but what really struck me is actually how similar it was to see nec speech yesterday. and i think both politicians know that that's a problem for them going into the next election. they have a very similar manner of delivery. neither of them have the sort of natural charisma of, say, tony blair. yeah it's very sort of rehearsed, very polished . but rehearsed, very polished. but they're both a sort of safe pair of hands. and keir starmer knew with both boris johnson and liz truss that he he could differentiate himself, he could draw quite a lot of clear water between them and himself by just being the sort of competent, safe pair of hands with rishi

sunak. he can't do that. so i think we've got the audio back. let's try and go back to keir starmer talking at that press conference if we can. i mean, industries fighting back for the pandemic , the brilliance of key pandemic, the brilliance of key workers , nurses, doctors, workers, nurses, doctors, teachers , volunteers and carers teachers, volunteers and carers who got us to that point . it's who got us to that point. it's in our love of sport and our excellent at it. the double world champion cricketers , the world champion cricketers, the commonwealth games that we're a beacon of diversity, the lionesses who brought football home. well, it's . it's how home. well, it's. it's how universities , our young people, universities, our young people, the researchers in this building and those like it, a manufacturing genius , our manufacturing genius, our superpower services, our start—ups and innovators , the start—ups and innovators, the green entrepreneurs, the builders and retrofits, insulate us and engineers who will bring us and engineers who will bring us energy independence and cheaper bills. the scientists making health care more

responsive, saving more lives . responsive, saving more lives. and it's in our communities, in towns , towns and cities like towns, towns and cities like bern , the wolverhampton, grimsby bern, the wolverhampton, grimsby and swindon, where the people will tell you in no uncertain terms that they do have ambition for themselves in that community. what they lack is a government that shares that ambition because all these achievements have lifted all that possibility is a testament to our untapped potential . so to our untapped potential. so this year , let's imagine instead this year, let's imagine instead what we could achieve if we match the ambition of the british people , unlock their british people, unlock their pride and their purpose, give them an economy, the politics that they deserve . that they deserve. this is crucial because economic

change must go hand in hand with political change. we have an economy that holds potential and a politics that holds power . and a politics that holds power. and it's no coincidence , no accident it's no coincidence, no accident that this leaves us with more regional inequality than anywhere else in europe. they feed off each other, and that's why i say britain needs a completely new way of governing. yes we need to use the power of dynamic government harness technology to drive through reform , convene a real reform, convene a real industrial partnership between business and unions. but all of that must be done in service of a politics which trusts communities and utterly convinced about this. the westminster system is part of the problem . i came into the problem. i came into politics late in my career . i've politics late in my career. i've run large organisations , run large organisations, institutions that had to serve our country and i've changed them all, including the labour

party . that's why i came into party. that's why i came into politics eight years ago. a new way to serve. a new way to get things done. more opportunities to change our country for the better . but i have to say better. but i have to say i haven't found much of that in westminster . yes there are good westminster. yes there are good people. of course there are many. mp share my determination to tackle britain's problems quickly , but it's a system that quickly, but it's a system that doesn't work . you know, doesn't work. you know, sometimes i hear talk about a huge day in westminster , but all huge day in westminster, but all this happened is someone has passionately described a problem and then that's it. nothing's changed. the circus moves on britons and repeat, honestly, you can't overstate how much a short term mindset dominates westminster and from there, how it infects all the institutions which try and fail to run britain from the centre . i call

britain from the centre. i call it sticking plaster politics. sticking plaster politics in a kind of last minute frenzy. it sometimes delivers relief, but the long term cure that always eludes us and it's at the heart of all the problems we see across the country right now . across the country right now. i'll give you an example . energy i'll give you an example. energy and the cost of living crisis now. thank heavens we have a price freeze this winter that labour's campaigning in the summer. eventually brought the government to opposition . and it government to opposition. and it senses . but truth be told , the senses. but truth be told, the price freeze is the perfect example of sticking plaster politics. that's sorcery, of course . but nonetheless an course. but nonetheless an expensive last minute fix papenng expensive last minute fix papering over cracks in our energy security that have been on display for years . now, don't on display for years. now, don't get me wrong , nobody criticises get me wrong, nobody criticises the government for the effects

of the war in ukraine, but the board didn't scrap home insulation . the board didn't ban insulation. the board didn't ban onshore wind and the war didn't stall. british nuclear energy. the tory government did that . the tory government did that. in . the stories the same with in. the stories the same with the nhs and care and with all our public service is the workforce . the morale crisis has workforce. the morale crisis has been an iceberg on the horizon for years . low pay , housing, for years. low pay, housing, childcare , immigration, childcare, immigration, planning, skills investment in technology . time and again, it's technology. time and again, it's the same pattern you saw yesterday from the prime minister . yesterday from the prime minister. commentary yesterday from the prime minister . commentary without minister. commentary without solution and more promises , more solution and more promises, more platitudes, no ambition to take us forward. no sense of what the

country needs . 13 years of country needs. 13 years of nothing but sticking plaster politics. it's why every crisis hits britain harder than our competitors . the only country competitors. the only country the g7, still poorer than it was before the pandemic . the worst before the pandemic. the worst decade for growth in two centuries. 7 million on a waiting list and rising . that waiting list and rising. that hasn't happened elsewhere . you hasn't happened elsewhere. you know , one of the greatest know, one of the greatest privileges of being born in britain, certainly for all of my life , is knowing that if you get life, is knowing that if you get ill , if you life, is knowing that if you get ill, if you have life, is knowing that if you get ill , if you have a life, is knowing that if you get ill, if you have a serious accident, you'll get decent health care. whatever your circum stances. not every country has that and the anxiety it causes is huge . it's why 11 it causes is huge. it's why 11 years ago in the olympic stadium, a few hundred yards away , we put the nhs on display away, we put the nhs on display to the world. it's who we are . to the world. it's who we are. we can't let sticking plaster politics destroy it. i won't

stand for that and labour won't stand for that and labour won't stand for that . stand for that. the that's why we've got a fully costed plan for the biggest nhs training programme in our history. we will tackle a capacity crisis with more doctors , more nurses, more doctors, more nurses, more health visitors and will broker a fair pay agreement that will transform the pay and conditions for every carer in the country. give care workers the respect and the status that they deserve and the status that they deserve and help them drive up standards in our care system. that's a massive part of the nhs crisis . massive part of the nhs crisis. i heard the prime minister yesterday and he's still in denial about how we got here . denial about how we got here. still too weak to challenge the vested interests in his party that hold britain back . don't that hold britain back. don't expect that to change on

planning or onshore wind or the nhs. not now . not for the past nhs. not now. not for the past 13 years. don't ever fundamental leave the tories. don't accept that to help working people succeed, you need dynamic government. government driven by a strategic purpose. they don't see that the challenges we face of climate change artificially intelligence, caring for an ageing society means a hands off approach to our economy and pubuc approach to our economy and public services. just whitewash anymore . this is a real anymore. this is a real political divide . but it's not political divide. but it's not just tory ideology that drives sticking plaster politics. it's the whole westminster system . no the whole westminster system. no similar country put so much decision making in the powers of so few people . it's no wonder so few people. it's no wonder the problems of communities up and down the country don't get the attention they deserve . just the attention they deserve. just think about it practically for a minute. the match in britain is a workplace . now the boss in the

a workplace. now the boss in the senior management? yes of course. they have to take some of the big decisions, the strategic ones . you wouldn't strategic ones. you wouldn't have them taking every decision, would you? it's time to give your shoulder telling you exactly how to use a robot arm . exactly how to use a robot arm. getting them to write the code for computer aided manufacturing . of course not. nothing will get done. big decisions will get put off because you wouldn't be able to see the wood for the trees while other decisions taken by the wrong people not close enough to the action would get botched . yet this is exactly get botched. yet this is exactly how we try to run britain . it's how we try to run britain. it's why , for all the talk of why, for all the talk of levelling up, nothing ever happens. it's just that old game of passionately identifying a problem rather than facing the real solution and accepting westminster must give power away . well no more. no more sticking plaster politics. no more

westminster holding power. no more holding back this country's economic potential . this year, economic potential. this year, we're going to show how real change comes from unlocking the pride and purpose of british communities . and . communities. and. there are two steps to this . first, we will steps to this. first, we will modernise this central government. so it becomes dynamic, agile , strong and above dynamic, agile, strong and above all focussed , driven by clear , all focussed, driven by clear, measurable objectives, national missions, a new approach to the power of government, more strategic, more relaxed about bringing the expertise of public and private business. andrew to town , on city and using that town, on city and using that partnership to drive our country forward . we will announce these forward. we will announce these missions in the coming weeks.

our manifesto will then be built around them and they will be the driving force of the next labour government . government. they will push us on to a better future . a decade of national future. a decade of national renewal . but let me be clear renewal. but let me be clear. none of this should be taken as code for labour getting its big government chequebook out of course, investment is required . course, investment is required. i can see the damage the tories have done to our public services as plainly as anyone else. but we won't be able to spend our way out of their mess. it's not as simple as that. way out of their mess. it's not as simple as that . let me give as simple as that. let me give you an example of our different approach . you start with a approach. you start with a mission, a plan for 100% clean

power generation by 2030. that mission builds on an opportunity that clean british energy is nine times cheaper than imported fossil fuels. it's backed by investment, public and private investment, public and private in wind, solar , nuclear, in wind, solar, nuclear, hydrogen, green, steel and carbon capture. it's galvanised by reform by great british energy. a newly publicly owned company that will take this opportunity and turn it into good, secure, well—paid british jobs. and it's driven by speed and a long term vision that doesn't back down when the going gets tough, when vested interests take you on over planning or trying to hold on to fossil fuels because if you take action early . if we did this now action early. if we did this now , then businesses and working people get cheaper bills for even people get cheaper bills for ever. our country gets energy independence from tyrants like putin for ever. and we can give every community a shot at the

green jobs of the future . that's green jobs of the future. that's just one example. one mission. but it shows our recipe for taking on sticking plaster politics. it's new technology. unleash it by private investment and private enterprise . tackling and private enterprise. tackling and private enterprise. tackling a huge social challenge and then provide a new foundation for long term prosperity , which, long term prosperity, which, crucially, communities can build on themselves . and this is the on themselves. and this is the second of our two steps in giving communities the chance to control their economic destiny . control their economic destiny. the argument is devastatingly simple the decisions which create wealth in our communities should be taken by local people with skin in the game and a huge power shift out of westminster can transform our economy , our can transform our economy, our politics and our democracy . i'll politics and our democracy. i'll get back to brexit. yes, a whole

host of issues were on that ballot paper. but as i went round the country campaigning for remain, i couldn't disagree with the basic case so many leave voters made to me . people leave voters made to me. people who wanted public services they could rely on high streets. they could rely on high streets. they could be proud of the opportunity for the next generation and all of this in their town or their city. it was their town or their city. it was the same in the scottish referendum in 2014. many of those who voted yes did so for similar reasons. and it's not an unreasonable demand. it's not unreasonable demand. it's not unreasonable for us to recognise the desire of communities to stand on their own feet. it's what take back control meant to control . people wanted control control. people wanted control over their lives and their communities . so we will embrace communities. so we will embrace the take back control message , the take back control message, but will turn it from a slogan into a solution , from into a solution, from a

catchphrase into change. we will spread control out of westminster , devolve new powers westminster, devolve new powers over employment, support, transport, energy, climate change, housing, culture , change, housing, culture, childcare provision, and how councils run their finances and will give communities a new right to request powers which go beyond even that . all this will beyond even that. all this will beyond even that. all this will be in a new take back control bill, a centrepiece of our first king's speech that bill will deliver on the demands for a new britain, a new approach to politics. and tomorrow , see a politics. and tomorrow, see a new approach to growth and our economy . economy. 2020 to kill the tory idea that it's only those at the top who grow our economy. 2023 will be the year labour shows a new plan

for growth . the year when we for growth. the year when we accept that if the south east races ahead , redistribution races ahead, redistribution can't be the one word plan for the rest of britain. that was also part of the brexit moment . also part of the brexit moment. working people want their town or city to prosper by standing on their own feet. they want growth from the grassroots to create wealth on their terms and in their way . create wealth on their terms and in their way. so let me spell it out . no more shortcuts . strong, out. no more shortcuts. strong, dynamic government is necessary, but it's not sufficient. communities need strong public services , but that's not enough services, but that's not enough on its own for national renewal . there is no substitute for a robust private sector creating wealth in every community. you can see this in the precision engineered and life scientists in glasgow , the video game in glasgow, the video game visionaries in dundee, the cyber security firms of the valleys and south wales, the hydrogen

corridor and teesside nano manufacturing in northern ireland. ceramics in north staffordshire . fuel cells in the staffordshire. fuel cells in the west midlands. staffordshire. fuel cells in the west midlands . robotics in west midlands. robotics in manchester. we need to turbo charge this potential , but charge this potential, but westminster can't do that on its own. it can only do it with communities . that's why labour communities. that's why labour will give them the trust, the power and the control . we won't power and the control. we won't accept decline , won't write our accept decline, won't write our country off , won't leave britain country off, won't leave britain in a price position buffeted from crisis to crisis. holding on, trying to make it through . on, trying to make it through. that's no way to live. and it's no way to run a country . no way to run a country. so this year, in place of sticking plaster, politics will set out the case for change. the

case for a new britain. the case for hope that the country will get better . that politics can be get better. that politics can be a force for good, that britain can be run in the interests of working people . we can feel the working people. we can feel the pubuc working people. we can feel the public looking at us again and we won't let up . we'll work we won't let up. we'll work every day to earn their trust. show them a new way of governing and lead them to the fairer and more dynamic . britain, where more dynamic. britain, where aspiration is rewarded, working people succeed and communities control their own destiny. and where politics doesn't hide from the big challenges that face our children. thank you very much . children. thank you very much. thank you . thank you very much thank you. thank you very much. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. thank you very much.

thank you . good morning . this is thank you. good morning. this is gb news you with bev turner? that was keir starmer talking at the labour press conference. we believe he's about to take some questions from the floor at. thank you very much. we're not going to take some questions from the media and i want to get through quite a few of these. so can i encourage all our colleagues in the media just to ask one question rather than showing up two or three four? showing up two or three or four? so i i'm going to start so i think i'm going to start with mason the bbc. with chris mason from the bbc. chris, thank you. chris mason bbc news you said today that labour won't be getting its big government's chequebook out. will match the conservative will you match the conservative spending limits going into the election? well, first, chris, that commitment in relation to the chequebook is because we know that we're going to inherit inherit a badly damaged economy and it badly damaged country and therefore, we have to be absolutely clear that we can't just spend our way out of that mess . obviously, we'll set out

mess. obviously, we'll set out our case as we go into the election and we will already set out our fiscal rules in terms of spending for day to day only borrowing to invest and getting debt down as a percentage of economy. they will be the rules that we go into. but what i'm trying to set out today is a different approach . i'm making different approach. i'm making it absolutely clear that it's a different way of working. it's partnership. it's about pushing power away from westminster. the in all of this. power away from westminster. the in all of this . but after 13 in all of this. but after 13 years of failure on every level we know we're going to inherit a very badly damaged economy and therefore , that is what drives therefore, that is what drives me to say we will not be getting out that big government chequebook , everything we say we chequebook, everything we say we will do will be fully costed and set out as it already has been, and we'll do that going into the election. thank you, chris. i've got ali from sky ali previously

from sky . now you've criticised from sky. now you've criticised what you've seen yesterday for being light on policy, but when it comes to the big issues that are impacting people right now, nhs pay the strike . what exactly nhs pay the strike. what exactly are you going to do to help people? it's not clear what you're saying beyond saying that you're saying beyond saying that you would do a betterjob than the tories. you say you're not willing to get your big chequebook out, but how are you going to fix those problems? help people right now? what difficult decisions are you going willing to make? going to be willing to make? well, ali, i mean, well, look, ali, i mean, look, i have criticised the prime minister. absolutely minister. you're absolutely right . i thought promises right. i thought his promises were weak low ambition were weak and low ambition inflation was the biggest example of that. so inflation down to the right, lower than is already predicted is not a big promise to the british public . promise to the british public. and the idea that after 13 years of failure can come along in the 13th year and say, i've got five new promises, please give us one more i feel it's so more chance. i just feel it's so far removed from reality . but in far removed from reality. but in

relation to your question , relation to your question, obviously there are things we to do this winter to get us through. and we've argued the case for discharging patients more quickly. virtual wards , more quickly. virtual wards, many things with making use of facilities, but we can't do and this is really the centrepiece of what i'm trying to say is every year we go into an nhs crisis it just gets worse and worse and worse. and so we're in the worst one ever now about sticking plaster politics. we can do something this year to get but if we don't get through, but if we don't actually understand the fundamentals of change, we'll be back in the same crisis next year and the year after. and central to that is , the central to that is, the workforce. that's why we've workforce. and that's why we've said that we will have a fully funded plan to bring in, you know , thousands and thousands know, thousands and thousands more nurses , more doctors, etc. more nurses, more doctors, etc. more nurses, more doctors, etc. more medical staff coming to in the nhs because in the end that's the only way we're going to get out of this that long in putting another sticking plaster on is necessary. of course it

is. it's a bit like the energy and cost living crisis. we've and cost of living crisis. we've got do for one more got to do it for one more winter. but if we don't tackle, the fundamentals back in the fundamentals will be back in this year and the this cycle next year and the year after the year after. and that's been the that's what's been one of the biggest failures of politics in the last years. thank you, the last 13 years. thank you, ali curry. i'm going to give him channel 4 news. i'm it doesn't sound like you do want to splash the cash so beyond your two costed extra investment in things like the nhs, you are going to be looking for more from the same money or more from less seafood, sometimes in pubuc less seafood, sometimes in public services. can i ask you about one specific area of that tony blair look to the private sector to help with that kind of efficiency saving, do you think there's more scope for the private sector delivering public services ? have we reached the services? have we reached the outer limits of it ? services? have we reached the outer limits of it? is services? have we reached the outer limits of it ? is it outer limits of it? is it sometimes what works ? could sometimes what works? could there be a whole new development

in that under your premiership ? in that under your premiership? well, gary, thank you for that question . the way i see it is question. the way i see it is this that if a pat question. the way i see it is this that if a pa t wins an election and sets out its stall, its programme for change, it's then got to answer the question, well, how are you going to deliver that? and there are three basic models. one is you suckit three basic models. one is you suck it all up to the centre and try to deliver it all through the state. i don't think that works and we won't be doing that. to be clear. the other is to say, well, we've set out what we want to achieve, but it's the market that knows best. so well. now leave it the market. now leave it to the market. i don't believe in that model. i don't believe in that model. i don't think that's worked ehhen don't think that's worked either. that's why what i'm either. and that's why what i'm proposing today, what we've put on is a partnership on the table is a partnership model with the, you know, model where with the, you know, an agile , active state working an agile, active state working with a partnership with private business, we deliver together each clear about what their role is partnership . that's is in that partnership. that's the way in which we deliver for the way in which we deliver for the future. but gary, there's another part of your question which is really as

which is really important as well, because i've obviously said going to get the said we're not going to get the big out, but that is big chequebook out, but that is reform. run a public reform. having run a public service for five years, i run a pubuc service for five years, i run a public service in the criminal justice sector for five years. long been an advocate of reform and we have to reform our public services, whether that's health or criminal justice, because the idea that simply putting more money in which of course is needed will bring about some improvement, won't transform our pubuc improvement, won't transform our public services in the way that i think they need to deliver in the 21st century. gary, thank you harry from itv . you for that. harry from itv. thank you . you've said you want thank you. you've said you want to avoid sticking plaster politics, but sometimes immediate crises require short term solutions. so take the strikes this week, for example. what would you actually do differently in your in your negotiations with the unions? you said you would take them seriously. what would you ignore? the nhs pay recommendation? would you offer more than 5? you said you wouldn't offer 19, but would you

offer more than what's already been the moment ? been offered at the moment? look, firstly, i think look, harry, firstly, i think it's very important in relation to industrial action to understand and quite how much are struggling to make ends meet and why they're driven to action, particularly the nurses never been on strike. national effort before . now i don't want effort before. now i don't want to see these strikes . i don't to see these strikes. i don't think there's any nurse. certainly that i've spoken to or heard of who wants be on strike. on the contrary , before they on the contrary, before they went on strike in those final days, they said to the government, just come in the room us and talk to us. we room with us and talk to us. we won't go on strike. and the government refused. so i won't get room . i would talk to get in the room. i would talk to the and talk to them. and there's going to have to be compromise and i also ask harry this . the government hasn't got this. the government hasn't got a strategy . what are you going a strategy. what are you going to do with it? get in the room in a few weeks time and reach an agreement that they could have reached before the strike started. and then watch everything that's happened in

the last few weeks happen. all that distress to people by doing agreements, some time down the line in a few weeks is not their strategy or the latest . log it strategy or the latest. log it out month after month after month in a war without nurses , i month in a war without nurses, i think we've entitled to say they clearly have got no strategy whatsoever for dealing with these strikes, particularly the nurses strikes . thank you, harry nurses strikes. thank you, harry and lucy from time's welcome back. that was keir starmer talking at labour press conference this morning. what did you make of that ? gb views did you make of that? gb views at gb news dot uk? i am joined in the studio by broadcaster lawyer and futurist. we'll be digging a little more into what that means. andrew eberhard and the former editor of labour list , peter edwards. so let me come to you first, peter. we have comparison, of course, between rishi sunak speech yesterday. keir starmer's today, brush strokes at the top. what did you make of it? i thought is good. and clearly he's a lot more confident, relaxed to speak,

even had sleeves rolled up compared to a few years when compared to a few years ago when he as a bit he was described as a bit wooden. perhaps there's a bit of truth in as we've all with truth in that as we've all with what call speech is what i call keynote speech is it's two degrees and covering everything touch on immigration strikes, nursing, public service, , the economy, service, tories, the economy, inflation, so and so on. but the real takeaway is really this line about big spending. will labour be spending labour be a big spending government? keir says, we government? and keir says, we won't get the check out chequebook out again. i think that's what want to take that's what you want to take away and that's what away be and that's what interests after interests because after the turmoil five years turmoil of the last five years of the brexit divisions in westminster in a country and westminster and in a country and covid debates around covid and the debates around lockdown and so and it's a lockdown and so on, and it's a little back to the politics of eight or nine years ago, where you had tories essentially trying to reduce spending, labour opposition and wanting to have to get into government with a vision for change that tried to allay public concerns ? eight to allay public concerns? eight overspend. and of course we had a period of jeremy corbyn where concerns labour overspend concerns of labour overspend were exacerbated. so i think what starmer said is what keir starmer said is completely sensible, but they're actually some

actually there are some parallels the period when i parallels with the period when i worked the shadow worked for the shadow treasury team it's team around 2012, where it's about providing labour. i think the public know labour can be radical, but have to provide radical, but you have to provide reassurance. be sensible reassurance. they'll be sensible as yeah, it's easy be as well. yeah, it's easy to be goodin as well. yeah, it's easy to be good in opposition , isn't good in opposition, isn't it? it's to the sideline it's easy to sit on the sideline and criticise. it's what we do every yeah, do very easy, every. day yeah, i do very easy, much more difficult to make a make a case for what you will actually do. and we didn't have an awful lot from rishi sunak yesterday. peter in terms of what he would actually do. but of keir starmer can say, of course keir starmer can say, well, we know, we don't know yet. we can . and he did say, yet. we can. and he did say, we'll have our manifesto soon to look at was there enough meat there? i think there was probably a little more, in fact, than rishi sunak yesterday we got this british energy company that's that's something quite tangible that we can we can hang our hat on. yeah something our hat on. yeah now something you labour you mentioned a labour conference really like the conference and i really like the thing the british energy thing about the british energy company is speaks the cost of company is it speaks the cost of living where living crisis where we know that's partially not that's partially but not completely energy completely driven by energy bills to what's going

bills. it speaks to what's going on eastern europe with this on in eastern europe with this evil dependency evil war and the dependency we're to exit from on we're trying to exit from on foreign fuel . but actually it foreign fuel. but actually it tickles the tummies labour tickles the tummies of labour members like and members who quite like and people me, like idea people like me, we like the idea of collectivism coming together for national industry. and very briefly, pledges briefly, rishi sunak's pledges i'm sure we'll talk about them later. some them are later. yeah, some of them are really plain stuff like really very plain stuff like we'll down which we'll get inflation down which is come down anyway. is due to come down anyway. absolutely me come to you absolutely let me come to you then, andrew. a lot of it then, andrew. he did a lot of it was a thumbnail list of certain types of characters. everyone a mention from the nhs workers , mention from the nhs workers, teachers through pensioners, even gave the lionesses a name and he did , didn't he? he speaks and he did, didn't he? he speaks to people in a way that rishi sunak fails to do. i think people always make the mistake. they assume that have to go they assume that you have to go on lines. i think a on party lines. i think he's a very good communicator. yeah. so credit is due. credit where credit is due. i also love the imagery because he looks talk about looks as though talk about transformation. he looks like he's set the he's on the set of the transformers. he's a bob transformers. he's such a bob the he talks, he looks the builder. he talks, he looks rather than keir starmer. he's keir starmer with the new technology transforming

technology and transforming to that has got sleeves that he also has got his sleeves rolled up but it is it's a rolled up and but it is it's a lot of soundbites and the devil is in the detail. is always in the detail. i couldn't disagree anything, couldn't disagree with anything, he we want he said. no but we don't want to. i rather, when we to. and i think rather, when we talk about political analysis and about where do and sort of talk about where do we vote, i said we were promiscuously absolutely promiscuously were absolutely open should open and as journalists should be. be clear, what be. just to be clear, what andrew and i talking about, andrew and i were talking about, being voters, as being promiscuous voters, as you're in, the idea you're just tuning in, the idea being that like a lot of people, i feel that visceral i don't feel that visceral connection to a political party. i want them to impress me at the time. i want the individuals in that policy to win my vote. you're absolutely right. that's what about it, that we what i love about it, is that we keep an open mind journalists keep an open mind as journalists anyway, be analysing anyway, we should be analysing the on both sides. the stuff on both sides. basically, there are little bones. i wouldn't there's bones. i wouldn't say there's much yet. he talks much meat on it yet. he talks about, i've always this about, i've always said this with always discussions is with always the discussions is basically to put basically that you need to put the the is in the the meat. the devil is in the detail. going to he's detail. he's going to he's promised again he could do a fully i look fully funded proposal. i look forward that and forward to reading that and let's that. yeah what we let's analyse that. yeah what we also look at the sound also need to look at the sound and talk about sticky

and so i talk about sticky plaster. love that sort of plaster. i love that sort of stuff. he missed the trick, though. he talked about trust, power control. if mixed power and control. if he'd mixed it did trust controlled it up and did trust controlled in power, he could t in power, he could have had t c p in power, he could have had t c p to tie a tie in with the sticking plaster policies. it would good. would would have been good. he would have done. and the idea that people lot of people will people a lot of people will relate it and feel the relate it and will feel the anger that he has about short termist westminster politics. anger that he has about short ternwhat'estminster politics. anger that he has about short ternwhat he minster politics. anger that he has about short ternwhat he fails:er politics. anger that he has about short ternwhat he fails:er explain but what he fails to explain is why term and why why it is short term and why what he would do would be any different. let me different. i guess so. let me know think. gb views at know what you think. gb views at gbnews.uk loads more to talk about. gentlemen thank you for kicking now as we start kicking us off. now as we start the new year, there been the new year, there have been the new year, there have been the inevitable headlines about covid variants covid sub variants spreading across wa across the world, namely the wa .1.5. very catchy that one. and earlier this week , the usual earlier this week, the usual covid zealots such as susan, mickey and co were advising to use face masks again . so there use face masks again. so there is no better man to talk to about exactly where we are at now than this next guest. he's so good. in fact , that i'm so good. in fact, that i'm awarding him this week's turner prize, which only goes to people

who have used facts and data rather than emotion to assess the situation, particularly in relation to covid and our freedoms, which we must not lose. so i am very delighted to welcome ivor cummings to the show with a man with almost a quarter of a million subscribers on youtube. he makes it his mission to decode the science. good morning to you, ivor. thank you so much . joining me right, you so much. joining me right, we were all talking. there's a lot of new year. okay. the weather is cold again. the hospitals are getting busy . hospitals are getting busy. people are starting to get worried about covid. and of course, there are those in positions power who positions of power and those who are position of power are not in position of power considering whether we would need lockdown again, need another lockdown again, whether should wearing masks. whether we should wearing masks. what conclude out this what did you conclude out this week ? right, beth, thanks to be week? right, beth, thanks to be here. so as always , nearly three here. so as always, nearly three years now, i share the days and i share my influence and i go through it and that's all. no one has ever countered me successfully , for what it's successfully, for what it's worth. so the other day i did a video. i decided to revisit

sweden and i went through professor karl popper. now i won't get too heavy here, but professor karl popper was a hero of scientific and logical inference and basically he had the black swan hypothesis kind of judgement logic. so the asymmetry of proof. so essentially if you take the hypothesis that lockdowns and masks are effective, well, sweden destroys that hypothesis singlehandedly. now i hasten to add we have nearly a hundred papers and analyses that looked at all countries , all counties at all countries, all counties of america , and came to the same of america, and came to the same conclusion . so we're as close to conclusion. so we're as close to a scientific proof now as you can guess that lockdowns and are simply ineffective . and my video simply ineffective. and my video went through sweden, sweden and all oecd data at middle of the yeah all oecd data at middle of the year. i think it was daily sceptic out that data in an article and sweden is the winner largely in lowest excess

mortality throughout the whole pandemic period . and remember pandemic period. and remember cnn went to sweden and may 2020. so there's no question they interviewed people, they went to hairdressers , cafes, and there hairdressers, cafes, and there was nothing really notable in terms of measures . and yet terms of measures. and yet sweden came out with the best performance almost in all the oecd countries . that's a black oecd countries. that's a black swan that breaks the hypothesis that lockdowns of masse are a fact of that. it so when you look at the figures that you've independently analysed and this is why you are the recipient of the total price i a cummings which is because you fund the i came across your youtube as you say two and a half years ago, you were purely looking at the data. that's all you've ever done. looks at the figures. you take all the emotion out of it. you didn't have a vested interest. and let's face it, a lot people have done in this lot of people have done in this particular narrative. so sweden had lowest cumulative excess had the lowest cumulative excess deaths just deaths between 20 2022. it just

over about 6% compared to the uk , which this data says had 24.5% excess deaths . but why is that? excess deaths. but why is that? why did sweden do so well ? well why did sweden do so well? well one of the biggest factors, bev, in covid impact, we know is metabolic health. and that's beyond us. the uk is not far behind america in terms of a disaster in metabolic health and insulin resistance . and this insulin resistance. and this does go over to sweden to interrupt you, but this was your area of specialism continues to be now but you obviously did a little of a kind of fork in the road, didn't you, in terms of covid. but this is your area of specialism absolutely i've a bulk each rich live long with denver doctor jeffrey gerber and i've been ten years analysing metabolic health data. so i have an enormous network of professors and doctors in metabolic health all over the world. but when covid came along i pivoted into that and it became clear very early on. i mean from news articles and from

china data that insulin resistance , diabetes, resistance, diabetes, essentially metabolic health problems where the massive decider of covid outcomes so i'm naturally pivoted in but sweden i was there twice in the last couple of years i have a lot of swedish friends. you just walk into stockholm and look around and you can see the difference visually. you don't need to measure their blood . okay, so measure their blood. okay, so what? so one of the one of the reasons that the sweden did so well is they don't have the same obesity condition, the same metabolic crisis that a lot of other countries but what other countries have. but what about approach masks about their approach to masks and was that and lockdowns? why was that beneficial ? well, in their case, beneficial? well, in their case, as i said, they proved via black swan that the masks and lockdowns are totally and they just backed up the hundred papers and analyses that show us that scientifically. so by not doing lockdown and not wearing masks and having kids up to 16 in school throughout , throughout

in school throughout, throughout , they proved with their exit and performance and the latest the oecd i mentioned , i did look the oecd i mentioned, i did look yesterday or the day before, pulled us and the nordics now are around 11 and a half % as are around 11 and a half% as a group without sweden and sweden's around nine and a half % there approximate figures so they beat the nordics with no lockdowns, no masks and kids up to 16 and school. and that's as close to a scientific proof. there's no proofs and science in the sense that's as close as you can get in science . and you add can get in science. and you add that to all the other analysis is the lockdowns, the masks and the kids taken out of school had no real world. no real world benefits. that's measure of both in terms of covid outcome , but in terms of covid outcome, but the harms of lockdown . so the harms of lockdown. so i don't need to catalogue those. they are extraordinaire free and shocking . yeah i will get you on shocking. yeah i will get you on another day to talk about those,

but overcoming you in the gb news book i've drunk out of this one. i won't send this. i'll get you a clean one, but you win the turner prize for sticking your neck out for swimming against the tide and being an absolute hero. thank you so much for joining us . now let me introduce joining us. now let me introduce you to my panel this morning. i'm delighted joined by i'm delighted to be joined by broadcaster, futurist broadcaster, lawyer and futurist andrew abel and former andrew abel and the former editor of list, peter editor of labour list, peter edwards. we've got to edwards. right. we've got to talk prince harry talk about prince harry and william . peter, i don't know william. peter, i don't know whether you've been following this particularly closely this story particularly closely . are you particularly interested in the meghan and harry drama? you can't not follow over the follow it. it's all over the media periodically . it is media periodically. it really is now new revelation today. his book, harry's book , the spare is book, harry's book, the spare is going and there's been going to be out and there's been this extraordinary leak . this quite extraordinary leak. now, in itself , i now, the story in itself, i don't think is that shocking, but they basically came to blows , didn't they? and he's accusing william of him on floor and william of him on the floor and breaking a dog bow. yeah, i hadnt breaking a dog bow. yeah, i hadn't the dog faux pas. i hadn't heard the dog faux pas. i mean, first of i want to say, and as much in your view as

you're saying is incredibly sad, it every disagreements. it is every has disagreements. clearly, is one that's a clearly, this is one that's a bit more heightened than the average, perhaps disagreement . average, perhaps disagreement. but this to be aired but for this to be aired publicly , i'm not sure it helps publicly, i'm not sure it helps anyone and, you know, i want to be fair , prince william, harry, be fair, prince william, harry, they their country they both served their country in the army. they've gone on different paths and they different life paths and they both lost their mother in horrific circumstances, a young age. you understand that age. and you can understand that would to people would do things to people mentally emotionally. mentally and emotionally. i think meghan have been think harry and meghan have been quite i think quite badly advised. i think writing a book on harry's part called spare is not going to help at all. and am i? while we don't know what happened , prince don't know what happened, prince william hasn't given his side of things. and i he won't because the royal road, traditionally, they never complained, never explain. and that served the queen who was queen fantastically, who was a model dignity. we're not model of dignity. so we're not to get a rebuttal in the way you would get in a political story, but, i mean, my sense is who is this helping? oh absolutely. i've just to give you a little bit of a quote of what we know so far. apparently, harry was

particularly enraged by the fact that william was parroting the press narrow . this comes up time press narrow. this comes up time and time again. andrew doesn't say as this confrontation escalated, and that was in relation to the criticisms that he was levelling at meghan . they he was levelling at meghan. they said that prince harry says prince william described her as difficult rude and abrasive. he down a glass of water called me another name, then at me. another name, then came at me. it happened so he it all happened so fast. he grabbed the collar, grabbed me by the collar, ripping necklace and knock me ripping my necklace and knock me to floor. on the to the floor. i landed on the dog's bowl, which cracked onto my pieces into my back, the pieces cutting into me. there for a moment, me. i lay there for a moment, dazed. me. i lay there for a moment, dazed . it's quite a stroll. and dazed. it's quite a stroll. and i'll tell you what. you know what? yeah. arguments. what? yeah. family arguments. family the time. family arguments all the time. they i is they get, like, what i think is fascinating story broke fascinating. this story broke this morning and the great gb news viewers have spoken about nothing else. and what's really interesting i'll talking. well, ispoke interesting i'll talking. well, i spoke to our social media guy. he's angles and this is what they said. and people are and they said. and people are and the interesting pattern is every body but everybody is speaking harry. there's not yet been

anybody. i always try as you know, to put a bit of balance . know, to put a bit of balance. the other big revelation which has come out is about the uniform . and you might remember uniform. and you might remember breaking news if you haven't heard. it was just in the last few minutes. is that the famous 2005 party that harry went to and he will chose to wear a uniform ? what has come out today uniform? what has come out today in the last few minutes is that he spoke to william about the choice of outfit. and he had a, i think knows a uniform, just a traditional military uniform, whatever. or he could have worn this thing. and apparently he was you know, by and was encouraged, you know, by and kate , to wear this uniform. so kate, to wear this uniform. so all of a sudden and you say that they're not briefing that i can guarantee they have the big revelations about the netflix series. if people didn't already knows they have their pr knows they have their own pr machine basically brief machine and they basically brief against other. that's what against each other. that's what harry's my objection to harry's saying. my objection to this it needs be balanced this is it needs to be balanced . need as a lawyer you need . you need as a lawyer you need to turn out to hear both sides. you know what? william is not

going to respond is a he has to i mean, if he starts right now but maybe indirectly that but maybe indirectly speech that he to but just really he might have to but just really sad i do ijust know he might have to but just really sad i do i just know none of us want this but what else have they got? just keep just keep criticising family. criticising the family. criticise and then criticise the family. and then what of it, i, what i sort of read it, i, i don't prince william for don't blame prince william for taking a slug. i'm not endorsing violence, but you know what i mean. enraged mean. i can imagine how enraged they would be with the behaviour right. electric cars the right. electric cars of the future. the fault of future. this is all the fault of you. look at my technocrat. oh, we all of i did we love all of this. i did predict know. predict this as you know. i would talk about the rise of the machine, this whole code with what it does know that you lost your when i lost my your phone today. when i lost my phone and phone today, ladies and gentlemen. didn't. i came gentlemen. so i didn't. i came in my phone and in without my phone and i thought, do i turn around and do i and or do i just. so i go and get it or do i just. so i go and get it or do i just. so i thought, okay, hey, guess what? i couldn't pay for my parking. yeah couldn't go and parking. yeah i couldn't go and buy boys breakfast, buy the boys breakfast, which i normally way in for normally buy on the way in for my little team because everything's on my phone. i couldn't navigational couldn't use the navigational app couldn't use the navigational app so i was 20 app to get here, so i was 20 minutes later than would

minutes later than it would normally be. we must never be. and this lawless i'm and i've said this a lawless i'm a advocate of technology a massive advocate of technology and advances, tremendous and the advances, the tremendous us making in us advances that we're making in this about a high end this country about a high end robotics, and so forth. we robotics, so on and so forth. we mustn't a slave to those sort mustn't be a slave to those sort of and that's what's of size. and that's what's happened. means happened. the more means of communication, it's communication, i often said it's more means of communication that we the less we're able to we have, the less we're able to communicate. and see people communicate. and you see people that dependent that are so dependent on that, most can't we've most people can't write. we've now worried in schools now got that worried in schools and that they're and universities that they're going to be able write essays going to be able to write essays and they are. yeah. and and yes, they are. yeah. and they're going turn and said, they're going to turn and said, look to happen look what's going to happen eventually. many jobs. i've warned this beforehand. warned about this beforehand. many redundant many jobs will be made redundant and machines. and and replaced by machines. and part of the problems about strikes things that and strikes and things like that and necessity say, is the necessity as i say, is the mother invention. and that mother of invention. and that forces progress. forces technology to progress. well, electric cars i'm well, peter electric cars i'm not not ready for not there. i'm not ready for that i feel the that because i don't feel the technology's have technology's there. i have friends electric cars and friends with electric cars and they sitting in parking they end up sitting in parking stations them in stations waiting to plug them in and have range anxiety. you and then have range anxiety. you don't a whole day of don't drive a car a whole day of it. no, no, drive it because you have a as a white people left

in. i drive car full of unleaded petrol i think electric cars they could be great but clearly they could be great but clearly the technology has got to go bit further. yeah, time is further. yeah, charging time is enormous. while i haven't enormous. and while i haven't looked the billing, if looked into the billing, if we're in the midst of an energy price then having your price crisis, then having your car plugged in for however many hours overnight is going to cost you a lot. i suspect, as we've seen in forms of seen in other forms of technology, particularly around media and telecoms, there's going catch up going to be a massive catch up over the next ten years. and the affordability and functionality might look different soon. might look very different soon. yeah, charging yeah, the charging infrastructure to infrastructure is the key to this. i mean, reason stories this. i mean, the reason stories coming of new car registries coming out of new car registries in fell last year to the in the uk fell last year to the lowest decades. lowest level in three decades. meanwhile sales of electric cars have continued to grow. they rose from 190700 to 267000, with their market share climbing from 11.6% to 16.6. extraordinary is quite a change, right? let's most talk about gentlemen, but we've come to the end of our first hour. that was quick. we'll be right back with more after a short break. holidays on

the autobiography prince harry has got coming out any minute now. he says he was physically assaulted in his brother by his brother in 2019 over his relationship with meghan. what other damaging can the royal family expect ? and of course, family expect? and of course, this show is nothing without you and your view. so email at gbviews@gbnews.uk or tweet me at gb news to have your say on all of our topics today. gb news to have your say on all of our topics today . you've been of our topics today. you've been doing that so far, paul said. i lent my votes to boris in the last election. at this time it'll be key in the next election to. the working class. sonic. sonic is unrelatable . and sonic. sonic is unrelatable. and val has said he's basically saying the same things as sonic, except that he's not mentioned it. tackling the crisis. so olivia olivia utley is here in the studio some up for us. olivia what? he kissed almost set out for the nation his vision for the future when essentially his top line the centrepiece of his speech was

this take back control control bill, which would well, he dresses this out being a totally new way of doing politics of making regional decisions . what making regional decisions. what it is, is more devolution that was actually trialled a few months ago. so in terms of news stuff in the bill, there wasn't a huge amount tone wise. it was quite interesting to see him talk about. he talked about patriotic pride a little bit and then short for ambition. so what about releasing untapped potential? i mean? you can see that a lot of claire voters with him and jeremy corbyn is him and jeremy corbyn this is a very different of man we're looking at could definitely see he had confidence as i said a bit earlier, there was a lot of similarities really with the very sunak delivered his speech . you see a bit of . but you could see a bit of keir starmer, the statesman this time round another sort of interesting nuggets so he didn't when pressed by the times he he didn't agree to scrapping tuition which was a pledge of

his leadership bid so that's going to really that's a really hotissue going to really that's a really hot issue among labour members in particular. so it'll be interesting to see that goes down. he also very interestingly didn't talk about what he would do about small boats. he said that he would deal with the problem up source upstream or whatever, which is what he always says about doing always says and talk about doing always says and talk about doing a deal with the french, which obviously everyone wants, but it's to get. but it's very difficult to get. but he talk about what he didn't talk about what he would do migrants who would do with the migrants who come illegally , which was come here illegally, which was very different from what sunak laid out so in terms of i mean, sticking plaster politics, clever will. yes. and we'll really resonate with people like that. really resonate with people like that . yeah. finishing my that. yeah. finishing my sentence. sorry no, no, no. i couldn't think of the way i can listen to you all day. to be honest, if you just want to just talk about me, i'll just listen. go on. and yeah, sticking politics was definitely resonate. and what he said about energy, the tories not energy, about the tories not investing not investing in nuclear, not investing in nuclear, not investing we're that

investing offshore. we're that will strike out with almost everyone in the uk i think. well sitting next to you thank you richard tice from the reformed party. you stole a lot of my programme. i hopefully it was the good news for your listeners. i enjoyed it. i mean, is it in policy? come in today to talk to me? i think everyone is very interested to hear what you had to say today. how do you think with rishi sunak think you with a rishi sunak yesterday also keir starmer yesterday but also keir starmer well, it interesting well, firstly it was interesting that his speech. that sunak advanced his speech. i say, because he knew that i was speaking, i was upset because tom was weak. the bottom line absolute clear line is there's absolute clear water between the three speeches. we've just from speeches. we've just heard from keir starmer. of wall keir starmer. lots of wall waffle just like rishi sunak, lots warm waffle . but where's lots warm waffle. but where's the specifics . we've got a the specifics. we've got a nafion the specifics. we've got a nation in absolute crisis and all. you actually specific because the leavers just said from keir starmer is devolution inverted commas that's actually code word for more bungling blockages down the track . when blockages down the track. when i put forward i'm the only person

who put forward an absolute clear financial specific role. we've got a cost of living crisis, we've got an inflation crisis, we've got an inflation crisis . wherever you look, there crisis. wherever you look, there are crises. i said with a clear clear mandate, clear specific . clear mandate, clear specific. you've got to lift the starting point to which anybody pays income tax from 12 and a half ground to 20 grand. that's 30 quid a week. we've got to help the 5.2 million people on out work benefits, talent opportunity. everybody talks about that . nobody specifies on about that. nobody specifies on the people on benefits that we've got to get back into it rather than importing cheap overseas labour. so that was the real specific i set out how we pay real specific i set out how we pay for it and that's the difference. yeah, yeah. you don't you don't get you're not going to get lots of warm cuddly waffle but i know what waffle from me, but i know what you're to is action you're going to get is action specifics dealing with the challenges in the crisis facing the country now , not ten years the country now, not ten years down the track. so what do you make then of why one of the reporters did say to keir

starmer, you know, how are you going cost you all you can going to cost you all you can match the conservatives with going to cost you all you can matc spending servatives with going to cost you all you can matc spending plan? ves with going to cost you all you can matcspending plan? he with going to cost you all you can matcspending plan? he says, your spending plan? he says, well, we can't we just can't decide he has point, decide that yet. he has a point, though, doesn't answer. he says he doesn't with the numbers he doesn't see with the numbers in see the in front of me can't see the maths coming. that's pathetic. that's the can down that's just kicking the can down the identify what the the road. identify what the problem is . we right, problem is. we say, right, here's solution . this is the here's a solution. this is the approximate cost , right? and approximate cost, right? and this is what the government of the day should do. now the reality is we know that there's probably not going to be a general election for 18, you know, 20 months. but i'm saying this is what needs to happen now. it's like in the beginning of december, i forward clear of december, i forward a clear plan for the health and social care costed . how you do what care costed. how you do what i said for three years all frontline patient facing staff in the nhs private care social care should have basic income tax that would retain staff. it would attract staff . but yeah, would attract staff. but yeah, we haven't got time to train lots of new people. the crisis is now. so i set out the costs. i said of how you with it and

how you fund it. there's none of that from the two main leaders. well asked our viewers and listeners in some listeners to send in some questions you . i said questions for you. i said i would be diplomatic about them, but i have i don't really need to be because they really to be because they they really do you. there's a note of do like you. there's a note of surprise, my so i'm sorry surprise, my voice. so i'm sorry about said going to about that. i said i'm going to diplomatic a question you diplomatic is a question for you then get rid of legal then we should get rid of legal aid lawyers to cure the immigration problem force immigration problem or force people . that's one. and then people to. that's one. and then what policies about the what are your policies about the situation in northern ireland? yeah. so on the on the issue of illegal immigration, we're the only party that has got a clear six point plan to deal with the illegal immigrant crisis the channel which will get worse and worse and we've based it on what successfully worked in australia so we've got a clear plan there. and yes, i wouldn't allow people who've come here illegally to claim legal aid at the cost of british taxpayers when they've already paid three, four, british taxpayers when they've already paid three, four , £5,000 already paid three, four, £5,000 to give them the boat the first

place. frankly, if they've got sort of money to pay , get here, sort of money to pay, get here, then if they need a bit of legal advice, then i think most people would say we can it yourself. and with regard to northern ireland , there major crisis ireland, there is a major crisis here . the northern ireland here. the northern ireland protocol isn't working. we said at the time it wouldn't work and i think the northern ireland protocol bill, it's step in the right direction. but fundamentally we've got get tough. we've got to make it quite clear to the eu that we would invoke the article 16 of the protocol unless you give them a very short time frame to everything that's not working. i'd give them three or four weeks then and sooner because he's bottled it , weeks then and sooner because he's bottled it, he's weeks then and sooner because he's bottled it , he's shelved he's bottled it, he's shelved it. why because he wants to be cuddly and nice and that's all very well. but the eu will literally take of that, i promise we will be here months and months down the track. nothing will happen. they'll still be talking about it. they'll still be huge problems in northern ireland. the situation will be getting worse.

reform is only with the reform is the only with the courage to stand up and say enoughis courage to stand up and say enough is enough northern ireland has been partitioned from the rest of the uk and. it's unacceptable and what did you make of it? we've heard what you make of it? we've heard what you said about the stump speech today and i know a today and i know there's a lot of warm waffle rishi sunak as well. what did you make of well. but what did you make of the rishi sunak speech the rest of rishi sunak speech yesterday? what do of yesterday? what do you think of his idea maths until the age his idea for maths until the age of for instance , that was of 18, for instance, that was a big pull headline. it missed big pull out headline. it missed the mark. it's the mark. i mean, it's like it's like, you know, it's like it's like, you know, it's like it's like, you know, it's like taking a penalty and kicking it to the sideline, not even towards the told me, for heaven's sake , there's a heaven's sake, there's a national crisis everywhere. and he about teaching. he waffles on about teaching. 1718 grahame buss when we haven't even got enough maths teachers teach kids at teachers to teach kids at primary school, we've teachers to teach kids at primary school , we've got to primary school, we've got to deal with the crisis . and if you deal with the crisis. and if you look at his five key things actually , there was no actually, there was no measurement targets that we and he refuse to put a timetable on

those things . and with regard to those things. and with regard to the immigration issue, at the beginning of last year, the said under whichever prime minister was was leader at the time. i think it was boris said we've got to have a new nationality and borders bill that would solve the problem. well it didn't so no sunak says we've got have another piece of got to have another piece of legislation people legislation and i think people are tired of listening to this waffle. they want to know going to sort it out. so he to actually sort it out. so he refuses to put any any timetable on any of this. and i think people just don't it anymore. yeah, it's extraordinary. it just thinks maybe he's just like he thinks maybe he's in last chancellor the in the last chancellor the conservative party 12 years. conservative party for 12 years. he's can he's just destroyed. what can i say, tice, it's nice to say, richard tice, it's nice to talk to you covering for laurence fox on the channel evening at 7:00. so you're coming in for a bigger chat so that can look behind the that we can look behind the politician, get know the man politician, get to know the man behind the politics, look forward to talking you forward to talking to you tomorrow on, tomorrow night. now moving on, prince harry has reportedly accused his brother william of physically attacking during physically attacking him during a his marriage. to a row over his marriage. to meghan markle , excerpts of meghan markle, excerpts of harry's autobiography spare

harry's new autobiography spare were the press with were leaked to the press with the duke of sussex says that he was knocked to the floor by prince william in 2019 at kensington palace. he said it has no comment make there's a surprise . well, let's get more surprise. well, let's get more analysis from royal writer and commentator michael cole . good commentator michael cole. good morning, michael . nice to see morning, michael. nice to see you. well, will be the first of many revelations that we're going to see from this book. spare well, beverly this is the first one. it's all a little bit east enders, isn't it? it's hardly kensington palace. i mean, here we have fraternal fisticuffs at nottingham cottage . there seems to have been no knock out , but i . there seems to have been no knock out, but i think we can say prince william seems to have won on points. it's say prince william seems to have won on points . it's really not won on points. it's really not the sort of behaviour you expect from brothers . you would hope from brothers. you would hope not to see . and certainly not to see. and certainly brothers of the other of the royal blood . but there they are, royal blood. but there they are, according harry and is his

account having this little scrap . and of course, what's the cause of it? it's meghan markle, apparently , prince william says, apparently, prince william says, i think she was difficult, abrasive . now, you and i know abrasive. now, you and i know enough of families to know that it's not the first time in history that the introduction of a new woman into a family has caused all mansion. oh, my . when caused all mansion. oh, my. when i was about to get . to that i was about to get. to that amber for all conflict . yeah. amber for all conflict. yeah. you know , when i come back to you know, when i come back to beverley is the thought and i can't really escape it dear much missed princess diana she would be devastated she'd be so sad. yeah. see this is believed . her yeah. see this is believed. her two sons would be there for each other, would be the best of friends, would love each other. truly love each other, uncover each backs. and to see this going on. and also noise abroad

in a book which is not going to make it easy bring about a reconcile valuation if one now is ever going be achieved. michael, what did the palace now because they whilst meghan and harry continue to mudslinging at the family in such a spectacular way. there has to be a point doesn't there, when they say something saying i mean we've had this statement just now to say that that you know that the palace will not be making any comment. when do they ? well, you comment. when do they? well, you would think they might, wouldn't you, beverley . and i think you you, beverley. and i think you put your finger on it. they would prefer not to do so as one person express . it, it will give person express. it, it will give meghan and harry enough rope to hang themselves . i'm not sure hang themselves. i'm not sure that that would work. i understand from opinion polls that the majority of people in this country , when asked, would this country, when asked, would like them to have their royal

titles of the royal duke and duchess of sussex removed. but that would take an act of parliament. what is possible on what else is in the book and how many skeletons it it rattles in the royal closet? it is possible . the king by letters patent could remove the title. hrh her royal and his royal highness. now, that might not be much to you and me and the people in the case. sure avenue, but in royal circles that's big medicine this type of hrh and that was done of course on the minute that princess diana was divorced from the now king prince of wales as he was at the time and of course riled to his dying day in 1972 and the deaths of some of the duke of windsor, who had been hit with this head , the eight he

hit with this head, the eight he royal of fact, that his wife wallis simpson was never accorded the title hrh. so that would be a sign of great disapproval. but listen, i think we must not overlook beverly is that this is all part of a huge advertising campaign to a doing this interviews on cbs in america and itv here on the sunday night when you couldn't buy an hour and a half on itv as a commercial break from , well, a commercial break from, well, it will cost you millions , yet it will cost you millions, yet they're getting publicity on both sides because the publisher, random house, penguin, random house have given them an enormous advance to prince harry, $31 million. and they need to get their back and they need to get their back and they need to turn a profit. let's be frank about it. the duke and duchess of sussex , no duke and duchess of sussex, no way back into the royal fold by now . they are commercially now. they are commercially committed . they are. they are.

committed. they are. they are. and it will be the greatest two acts of reinvention to see what they come up with the next keep this golden goose laying the eggs. but thank you so much , eggs. but thank you so much, michael, michael, colette , royal michael, michael, colette, royal expert. now, after the break, we're going find out why meghan is going head to head with nelson mandela . look you in a nelson mandela. look you in a few minutes minutes .

very good morning. it's 1125. very good morning. it's1125. this is bev turner on gb news. my this is bev turner on gb news. my panel are back with me. i'm joined by broadcast lawyer and futurist andrew abel and former editor of labour list, peter edwards. both of you complimenting on my green dress. oh, we love. you. i bought this and i'm always in tesco's night. ihave. and i'm always in tesco's night. i have. you're commission i have. you're on commission because everybody everyone's because everybody but everyone's gonna the store, gonna be flooding the store, waiting to buy some food. and i

came with a dress. thought came out with a dress. i thought it with your it would look good with your eyes, now, what is eyes, but right now, what is going with sussexes , the going on with the sussexes, the mandelas? i'll you mandelas? well, i'll tell you what's, on the what's, going on behind the scenes with launch of the book on the 10th of january, spare parasol at the netflix store is a more more revelations every day. what's going on is the media are being fed all sorts of stories in the best way. it p.t. barnum who said the best of drawing an audience is to start a fight. so surprises prize. well these man books are great great circus man barnum yeah great circus man barnum yeah great way to he's got an icon in history mandela so what you can do is not with us anymore but the granddaughter all of time has of the woodwork and has come out of the woodwork and said that they've using the said that they've been using the mandela in on my mandela name to cash in on my grandfather. it's totally unfair. it's deeply unfair. they it's deeply upsetting and tedious and they're about it. it's a they're talking about it. it's a document series is it is. document series is what it is. and actually archewell productions , one of the productions, one of the co—producers in it, obviously doing about about mandela and so forth they she's basically said the granddaughter was saying probably had only met them when

they were really little harry was really he never was really little he would never remember at his remember but apparently at his home, he has a picture of diana and mandela and he's very proud of. well, i just said is of. well, i just said this is going to the greatest act of going to be the greatest act of reinvention pizza. they've they've made a documentary called live to lead the two of them in which they profile seven leaders and one of the leaders is not nelson mandela, but they do talk about him a lot. she has political ambitions. you know that meghan wants be the president america day. president of america one day. well think that will well i don't think that will happen all. ever i'd say happen at all. ever i'd say a word of defence for harry and meghan. i think they've made some poor decisions. but obviously i don't know as much about making. but harry clearly has affection links has genuine affection for links to of africa. yes, i to other parts of africa. yes, i believe a charity in the south. obviously, we're talking about south so different south africa. so different part of continent is similar. of the continent is similar. it's understandable. nelson mandela is an icon. first of all, know , if your all, you know, if your late mother met that be mother met them, that be something made you feel something that made you feel proud can understand that , i proud. i can understand that, i think. but the broader issue is

that you're either a royal or a private citizen who needs to earn money. and the reason why this story, apart from being another sad one, is like so many others did. they absolutely blurs boundaries between being a royal status and people need to pay you royal status and people need to pay you things, interviews or being private citizen where you've got to earn your calling like everyone else. and of course, these two things seem big to conflict , course, these two things seem big to conflict, and that is , i big to conflict, and that is, i live that private life forever in whichever part of america. but it's just interest. i was interested about the political thing because predicted on thing because i predicted on very table in november 2021, when originally on the when i was originally on the channel of the early days and that meghan markle absolutely was campaign. was on a pr campaign. that's because you're asking you're a how do you got to say that it just got heated. absolutely just got heated. but absolutely and would be an and i think she would be an ideal candidate. the support behind that we don't get in the uk i spoke in the last bit uk and i spoke in the last bit about the social media and what's happening here everyone really against really everybody is against harry i can tell harry at the moment. i can tell you will be more you there will be more revelations the come revelations as the books come out and talking about bullying

and necklace and the and the necklace and the ultimate that we ultimate methods that we can find the one find online was actually the one given him by chelsea years given to him by my chelsea years ago . so i know. oh, i he was ago. so i know. oh, i he was still wearing that. i don't think it was his ex—girlfriend, meghan markle not have been happy about that. i don't see a nexus of love as well as oh, she definitely wasn't. but it is . definitely wasn't. but it is. and that's what's going to dominate the stories. it was the most popular story on netflix. beat the crown. yeah and however much we criticise is what i said. p.t. barnum. that said, you to draw a crowd, start that fight and that fight is certainly i wonder they'll certainly have i wonder they'll become irrelevant peter oh do you they will because how you think they will because how does this pan out now? like i said, they're a one trick pony and this is in fact vanity fair in america. and they're one one trick pony once they've just criticised family enough. criticised the family enough. and at the and all they're doing at the moment is talking about moment right. is talking about their history. that's all they've they're to they've got. they're going to have to do something to carry on making money out that making money out of that personal narrative. that's personal narrative. well, that's a heart it a contradiction. the heart of it to be irrelevant. and i wouldn't

want to write them off like that, gone in so that, but they've gone in so hard their new life is hard on their new life is complaining very repetitively about the royal family, including about well, they didn't complain about the queen they complained. they complained about the royal family while the queen prince philip, were in very poor health at the end of life, which don't think was life, which i don't think was a good idea. and then comes good idea. and then it comes back. of documentary, back. a lot of documentary, i think they've too too think they've come too hard, too fast, very . yeah. then of course fast, very. yeah. then of course , every time there's a story about them, it has those green dollar bills in the story as well. i think being a bit more low key, learning to live on bit less money and she's no a lot more carefully will help them and then they could be attorneys would rehabilitated but they could find their niche which at the they clearly haven't the moment they clearly haven't they're seem to they're lost souls who seem to swing from quite difficult private moments to some public happiness and then a lot of disputes. so i also i although that's an interesting one that they love. i should say, about how stressful that must be living in that it's incredibly

stress. and i say and i mean, they said not stressful. they're living in montecito mansion. like when stressful, i like when i say stressful, i mean, relative, right? mean, it's all relative, right? but i'm just talking that but i'm just talking about that dynamic sort of dynamic because it's a sort of could a bonfire of the could be a bonfire of the vanities. of ego and vanities. it's a lot of ego and it's a terrible thing. i just i'm truly one of the few people who say something positive about. it's about. so i think it's important, say something positive have done positive and what they have done for health, example positive and what they have done for been health, example positive and what they have done for been great.:h, example positive and what they have done for been great. what example positive and what they have done for been great. what harryple positive and what they have done for been great. what harry did has been great. what harry did for games, it was for the invictus games, it was amazing. absolutely amazing. so we remember good we should remember those good things for things and just imagine for a moment that if he's saying is true, lot of people true, because a lot of people approaching all of these stories on got our on the basis that we've got our own and therefore own prejudices and therefore whatever comes out of meghan's mouth, we're going to disagree. you going disputes you know that on going disputes with press with the various press and they've all their so they've won all their cases so far. been more cases far. there have been more cases this yeah, being this year. yeah, they're being encouraged the encouraged to. settle the current one talking current one and we're talking about that on a regular basis. so i think there the good so i think there is the good side the good side people side and the good side is people in pubuc side and the good side is people in public eye who can use in the public eye who can use their status for raising about things health and things like mental health and a genuine i want us to be the generation speaks about

generation that speaks about mental the next mental health so that the next generation doesn't suffer the stigma. think those in the stigma. and i think those in the pubuc stigma. and i think those in the public eye who can that. public eye who can use that. yeah be encouraged yeah good. should be encouraged . well, i don't know how forgiving the british public will give them will be. we'll only give them so many chances. what we. but anyway, thank you guys. in just anyway, thank you guys. in just a joined by a moment, going to be joined by the of planet ponzi, the author of planet ponzi, mitch firestein. he's mega mitch firestein. he's a mega brain when comes to the uk brain when it comes to the uk economy , a food inflation economy, a food inflation strikes but also how it plays out on the global in terms of geopolitics. you don't want to miss all. after miss that. that's all. after your morning news with rihanna . your morning news with rihanna. good morning. it's 1132. your morning news with rihanna. good morning. it's1132. your top stories from the gb newsroom circuit storm. as promised, a decade of national renewal. if labour comes to power. in his first speech of the new year, the labour leader pledged an end to sticking plaster politics in westminster . to sticking plaster politics in westminster. he to sticking plaster politics in westminster . he also sets out westminster. he also sets out plans to modernise central government. conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi has

it's 1136. this is it's1136. this is bev. it's 1136. this is bev. 10th day it's1136. this is bev. 10th day on gb news. now households have been told to brace. brace for a tough year ahead as the uk struggles to handle inflation amid high energy prices. a shrinking workforce and a growing cost of living concern . growing cost of living concern. but how exactly did we get here? well, joining me in the studio now is the investor and author of ponzi, mitch firestein . good of ponzi, mitch firestein. good morning, mitch. i am yet to read your book and i very much looking forward to reading it. now wrote this ten years ago, but it's turned out to be oddly prophetic, hasn't it? why is that ? well, i prophetic, hasn't it? why is that? well, i think prophetic, hasn't it? why is that ? well, i think there are that? well, i think there are three real points of the book. was how we got into this mess economic. equity, what happens next and what you need to do to protect yourself and the reason why i wrote it is to what was going on in the world terms going on in the world in terms of economic policy and of global economic policy and

what have. we have what we have. we have the governments have wild governments that have gone wild spending money and printing money going of money like it's going out of style. just print, print, print, print . and. the consequences print. and. and the consequences of that. and i said in the book said, what's going to happen if you do this and you bail out the banks and have quantitative easing infinity going to have massive hyperinflation at a point down in the road and kicked can down the road . kicked the can down the road. the problems during the fundamental problems during the 2008, which the credit crisis 2008, which they the great financial they called the great financial crisis, are greater because crisis, are now greater because they never solved those problems and they've just gotten bigger and they've just gotten bigger and they've just gotten bigger and they've postponed them and. that's why we have yesterday you saw the inflation numbers, food inflation in the united highest it's ever been, 13.3, 15% increase in produce . people increase in produce. people understand that these being understated by the government the inflation numbers that you see out there because obviously if they had to it would impact the pensions and upi payments to the pensions and upi payments to the extent that it would really impact the budget of the country. so i don't know whether

you heard the keir starmer talking this morning. he was talking this morning. he was talking about short termism in politics and this idea that everybody that gets into power has sticking plaster on the in has a sticking plaster on the in a sense is you you're agreeing with that. but also saying the financial markets made the same mistakes . i financial markets made the same mistakes. i think it's almost like a trifecta, an unholy trifecta . i mean, in the united trifecta. i mean, in the united states have between washington and wall street collusion and westminster so now it's the three what you have are the central bank the bank of england printing money. and then you have the government says, oh , a have the government says, oh, a great way to get more money. so had the treasury and you had rishi which caused this problem is now moved from causing the problem to becoming part of hunfs problem to becoming part of hunt's team , which nobody voted hunt's team, which nobody voted for. nobody it nobody gave a mandate to . and now he's saying mandate to. and now he's saying that he's going to have inflation. so if inflation is at, what, 22, if we say. but you know, they tell you that it's much lower and they make it 11, does that still help? but he won't because inflation is going

to go higher, in my view, because energy prices have not yet adjusted properly . and also, yet adjusted properly. and also, you're going to see that since interest rates went up , the interest rates went up, the united kingdom is in a very unique position, because all the homeowners know this, their mortgages are on a basis that they reset every 3 to 5 years. basically so one friend of mine has a property and his property , the mortgage on the property is going to go up by 50. that's watering in june. the reset goes up watering in june. the reset goes ”p by watering in june. the reset goes up by 50. so think about that. if you're budgeting your household , if you have the main household, if you have the main thing that people pay for is your shelter. so, you know, i came up 20 years ago and told the owners what they need to do is come up with a more efficient way. calculate inflation and i wrote an article in the daily mail saying what they need is an essential goods index. and they're going to say, oh, we already that. but no, you don't really already have because you use something that makes

inflation lower than inflation look lower than it really so you had to sum really is. so if you had to sum up last couple years, how do up the last couple years, how do you think that's going to compare to 2023? what we've got coming up ? well, i think what coming up? well, i think what we've seen in the last of years, you've train delay , deny you've seen train delay, deny and and you've seen all and lie and you've seen all these tactics of dishonesty. 2023, i think, is a year of optim ism and opportunity. well, that's good. yeah. that's not something we hear very often. and, you know, i'll put a caveat that the people who are overleverage are going to have to pay the piper because we will hit brick wall. and i think hit a brick wall. and i think that what we need have, which nobody has, is leadership and we need accountability for those who got us into this mess to begin with. so there are some people people have people who've been people have been on global been looking at this on a global level looking at the level and looking at the influence of, say that w the world economic forum and even the organisation the world health organisation putting would putting some strings would say that heading this that we're heading for this great okay. is great reset. okay. this is a phrase that we've heard. what do people is it likely people by that and is it likely it's a socialist, totalitarian ism is what it is. i mean , it's

ism is what it is. i mean, it's a bunch of oligarchs that started out in silicon valley . started out in silicon valley. i've written a lot of articles about this that what it's mass censorship . censorship, which we censorship. censorship, which we have on this . i mean, have going on in this. i mean, look how difficult is for gb look at how difficult is for gb news. i mean, you guys and you should because i know that should know because i know that you were the only that had the i don't know what you'd say on the gumption. exactly to actually take on the people the propagandists. they're paid by big pharma with covid. you know, i don't even know if you can mention it. yeah of course you can. yeah we, we can talk anything. here we are. ofcom regulates. we don't say anything that you allowed to say that you aren't allowed to say on stations, but we just we on the stations, but we just we just like to be just awake and looking critical thinking and sceptical about what we're hearing. that's the hearing. but that's the important is people can't important part is people can't be minded. yeah. need be closed minded. yeah. you need to mind open and to keep your mind open and that's, know , that's my that's, you know, that's my experience in the markets . look, experience in the markets. look, if make a mistake a bad if i make a mistake or a bad okay, i lose money and that happens to everybody who does . happens to everybody who does. but that you can't sit

but you know that you can't sit with oh, it'll come with it and say, oh, it'll come back day because it won't back one day because it won't come back. you have to cut your losses and get out. and we're heading massive financial heading for a massive financial then should be then like, should people be frightened might log frightened that they might log on account one day on to their bank account one day and well, i don't and it's all gone? well, i don't think anybody should panic think anybody should ever panic . mean, exaggerating. no, . i mean, i'm exaggerating. no, no, i do think no, no. but i do think that there could be bank failures, because i think that there's overextension credit, because overextension of credit, because what problem and what caused the problem and i outlined book, is too outlined it in the book, is too much too much and much debt, too much credit and too leverage. leverage is too much leverage. leverage is good ifs too much leverage. leverage is good it's used to create good when it's used to create products or productivity , but products or productivity, but leveraged for financialization , leveraged for financialization, which is what's happened when banks were lending at 500 to 1. so other words, you put up $1 to control $500 or 1 million to control $500 or 1 million to control 500 million. so if you build a building and it's way overpriced and nobody buys it, the bank owns it. so there is a teetering going on at the moment. well, i think commercial real estate is a big problem. yeah. and think you've got a yeah. and i think you've got a lot bad loans . so lot of bad leveraged loans. so i think that there's a lot of bad

financial debt out there and i think that that will come home to roost very soon. but i think that there are things, you know, we can have a detailed conversation about what people need but need to need to do, but people need to be the leverage ratios be aware of the leverage ratios that they and they've got that they have and they've got to cautious because. to be very cautious because. i think inflation is going to go much higher and. you really can't the politicians can't trust the politicians anymore proved, can't trust the politicians any|know, proved, can't trust the politicians any|know, look, proved, can't trust the politicians any|know, look, 13 proved, can't trust the politicians any|know, look, 13 years proved, can't trust the politicians any|know, look, 13 years p|tory, you know, look, 13 years of tory party rule how many promises party rule and how many promises made in the 2000 manifest 2019 manifesto by boris? none them were kept and we've got a it's like musical chairs . yeah three like musical chairs. yeah three prime ministers three months. well we could talk all day if you . the book is great mitch . you. the book is great mitch. i'm interested on planet ponzi. i'm interested on planet ponzi. i said i haven't read it, but i've read extracts of it and i'm also a big follower of your your website planet ponzi dotcom. right. if people to twitter as well wait until i well on twitter you wait until i get thanks so get censored right. thanks so much. now heartbroken at much. thanks. now heartbroken at yorkshire, man who lost of yorkshire, man who lost wife of almost 25 is calling for almost 25 years is calling for answers after it the nhs. answers after it took the nhs. more than 16 hours to get an ambulance . her and a riley has

ambulance. her and a riley has this report. ashes are now all that's left of matthew 54 year old wife theresa. theresa suffered from diabete cs in a muscle wasting disease and fell ill at home before she tragically died in hospital after a heart attack and lack of oxygen to her brain . matthew oxygen to her brain. matthew believes the 60 hour wait for an ambulance was to blame for the loss of his soul mate. still believed the ambulance came here in the in a good time and maybe six six hour window. my still believe my wife would have been in hospital that would have really a way that sugar level has dropped gather the glucose or whatever she needed and she would have been on a heart monitor. so if she did have an attack, she would have been in hospital on a heart monitor, would known no other heart would have known no other heart attack people are attack. how many more people are going their how going to lose their life? how many people have to go for many more people have to go for what? i've come for this past five weeks. it's unfair . my five weeks. it's unfair. my wife's ohio . we knew. she

wife's an ohio. we knew. she knew. we knew she going to lose a life one day. but not like this. not to be left when they know she has myotonic dystrophy and confused . so and diabetes and confused. so that needs to change. we are the you need to be pumping more money into our all. we need to be changing the government. matthew is struggling to come to terms with teresa's death and feels the nhs failed her. she went only just my wife, which was my best friend. she was my soul mate. we could finish each of a sentence we could come out with sometimes would up with sometimes would come up with sometimes would come up with word. if we with the same word. and if we did, one of us to say snap we want to say crackle, and they want to say crackle, and they want to say pop. and that's how we was. she was not not on wife want to say pop. and that's how we \she she was not not on wife want to say pop. and that's how we \she was was not not on wife want to say pop. and that's how we \she was very not not on wife want to say pop. and that's how we \she was very supportive. nife want to say pop. and that's how we \she was very supportive. she was she was very supportive. she never once in my time life have been married to never once been married to i never once moaned about i would moaned about illness. i would lay die her. i watched lay down and die her. i watched seriously because she was an outstanding, outstanding and outstanding, outstanding and outstanding woman . in response outstanding woman. in response to matthew's complaint, yorkshire ambulance service said our thoughts are with mr. simpson on the sad loss of his

wife teresa in november 20, 22, and we offer him us condolences . our patient relations team has received correspondence from mr. simpson raising concern about our response to this incident with dying every because of delays in emergency health care. matthew hopes that sharing his heartbreak will for reforms to be made to the nhs and the riley gb news hall . what a sad story. gb news hall. what a sad story. thank you . okay, let me thank you. okay, let me introduce you to my panel this morning. again, i'm delighted to be joined by broadcaster, lawyer and futurist angie bowen and former editor of labour list peter edwards . right. peter, peter edwards. right. peter, let's talk rishi sunak five point plan. it's all over the front page of the paper. after he made this announcement yesterday day about his big plan , the future. did it blow your way . it didn't blow me away. way. it didn't blow me away. i think it's pretty thin, but it has been a success. and now

everyone's had 24 hours to digest it. a of people are drawing the line back to tony blair's hedge card. i think more than 20 years ago. tony blair became opposition in 1994 became of the opposition in 1994 after death of john. and of after the death of john. and of course, labour had pledge course, labour had the pledge cards. at time that was seen cards. at the time that was seen as quite bold . and if as perhaps quite bold. and if i'm going to government today, actually it was narrow in scope. what do you mean by it's been a common success? explain to our viewers what you mean by sure. i think if a polity nation, especially a prime minister, has five can be summed five pledges, it can be summed up on the front page of one tabloid newspaper in barely 12 or 15 words. that is common success, regardless of the content . you can read that out content. you can read that out in 5 seconds on the doorstep or on the telly. so just just to explain that. so front page of the mail they've done like they're stuck two, four, they're stuck two, three, four, five. there my five. and there are my ambitions, also ambitions, he says. it's also makes it easy to hold you makes it very easy to hold you to account, though it does . but to account, though it does. but the pledges to run was sufficiently woolly that around the face. as we said earlier,

the face. as we said earlier, the bank of england is to say that it's going to come in anyway. so if the government did nothing, if ritchie and jeremy hunt just had a few in bed hunt just had a few weeks in bed in and would still begin in flesh and would still begin to downwards that to track downwards anyway that grow economy . well, one. grow the economy. well, one. there's no one in the world who's against that . it's like we who's against that. it's like we were all favour of clean were all in favour of clean coal, economy. but is likely coal, the economy. but is likely to grow because you come out of recession, there'll be a bounce back. from back. but bounce back from a very low starting point. so again, you could put an idiot like in downing and like me in downing street and the grow from a the economy still grow from a low point. it's very low starting point. it's very clever because under promise clever because you under promise and overdeliver . and you're and overdeliver. and you're right. i mean, the wonderful thing of inflation, great economy , debt, falling cotton, economy, debt, falling cotton, nhs waiting lists and stop small boats . it's the rule of five. it boats. it's the rule of five. it used to be the rule of three. they did the same when he was talking about migration talking about the migration problem similar sort talking about the migration pr

everybody, everybody, all the forecasters, including were saying going get saying that you're going to get all these you know, that all these anyway. you know, that inflation probably two inflation is probably two thirds. they're going to slice off it. it's going be much, off it. so it's going be much, much than do. do much better than people do. do you though? i think you know what, though? i think think general public's how think the general public's how do i phrase this, the general public's balderdash is public's gaze for balderdash is a finely tuned at the a very finely tuned at the moment because with feeling these decisions everyday go to fill up the car, we pay the interest rate. so i think we're primed to see through the flow all. one of the papers talks the daily star, a cunning plan . they daily star, a cunning plan. they reference her baldrick and that sort of stuff. and they do, i think the general public gets an see through these things. i said early on, we listened to the speech as well. listen to the balance. can disagree balance. nobody can disagree with the things either. in with any the things either. in his speech or the predictions . his speech or the predictions. of course, we want it to be hotter in the summer. well, i'll organise that. yeah those are hotter in the summer. well, i'll orgtprinciples. yeah those are hotter in the summer. well, i'll orgtprinciples. thei those are hotter in the summer. well, i'll orgtprinciples. the detail�* are hotter in the summer. well, i'll orgtprinciples. the detail the the principles. the detail the devil is going to be in the detail. that's all we need to look at. that's that. and it's what you and i were saying earlier about. we can be earlier about. so we can be

promiscuous terms in promiscuous in terms also in politics, you like because there are some common fundamental points apply to points that should apply to all parties. want address the parties. we want to address the serious and let's find serious issues and let's find the of trying to do the best way of trying to do that. the best way of trying to do that . we earlier , didn't that. we talked earlier, didn't we, about how how keir starmer kind of more relatable peter kind of is more relatable peter although it is much easier be relatable when you are in opposition does he genuinely have the charisma though to win an election ? i think he does, an election? i think he does, but i'm not sure charisma is the most important thing you might say. well, of course i'd say that. but i also don't think he's. why would i say that? thing to say what you're dripping in charisma is. thing to say what you're dripping in charisma is . the dripping in charisma is. the rhetoric itself , fact. you know, rhetoric itself, fact. you know, if that wasn't what you meant to carry on, you prove it. i think bofis carry on, you prove it. i think boris johnson was this kind of careering character all over the place . his adviser caught him place. his adviser caught him a broken shopping is sunak is right despite and in his language he's always smartly addressed his focussed even the pledges a very short filled one piece of paper like yeah keir

starmer is a different character . i think he'll be happy if charisma is never mentioned because he's quite disciplined his language. but he also talks and this is not a media phrase about his back story. so rishi sunak's backstory is being quite marrying and even richer person , so that's probably not going to go on his leaflet. general election time, but his childhood story, he made a lot of much better growing up in a pharmacy knowing what it's like to be deaung knowing what it's like to be dealing with patients, people who the nhs. and i who need help in the nhs. and i mean you get that from lot. that's point. but i think that's a fair point. but i think . keir starmer i think what we saw today visually is a bit of a preview of what his general election pitch will be look like because sit in front because you know, sit in front of well horse awesome of some well horse awesome technical equipment. we're still working what it working on this. yeah. what it was. pretty was. but looked pretty industrial jacket sleeves industrial. jacket off sleeves rolled there and cameron used rolled up there and cameron used to do that not going for christmas. but he's also not going for i want to be late. he's going for i ordinary i'm worried about the things that

you're which you're worried about. yeah which is is an easy win in is an easy is an easy win in opposition to a billionaire. yeah. the other thing yeah. you know, the other thing is. the, you know, is. well, just the, you know, suggested question suggested but the one question where showed where rishi sunak showed a little bit of discomfort was when one of the reporters said something about him, the technocrat, said, you're technocrat, and he said, you're technocrat. saw him technocrat. and you saw him slightly bristling. oh, of course. is married to a guy course. he is married to a guy that runs infosys , which rolls that runs infosys, which rolls out the biggest biometric i.d. system in india. out the biggest biometric i.d. system in india . yes, he's system in india. yes, he's married to the daughter of the managers. that's why they're billionaires. they're all questions to be asked. ai should ask questions, but the ask those questions, but the thing i object to most, however, is resent success. is we seem to resent success. the fact that as the billionaire and that sort of does it matter to we don't want our leaders to want to be successful. i do not resent success. people ought to make tonnes of money. oh credit to but if there is a to them. but if there is a nefarious intent that might put more money in your pockets , that more money in your pockets, that might harm. so we've got massive and you should call that out of any of it. yeah. so definitely ask questions and, and it's rather similar they're

rather similar to what they're saying would they do saying what would they do differently of the differently as one of the questions about care and you need put the sort of emphasis need to put the sort of emphasis on that. i would love both sides to sit down together and have a proper discussion when you get into away from into it, get away from the soundees into it, get away from the soundbites because of soundbites because all both of them said were about them said they were about soundbites. was a that soundbites. it was a chair that i now that's absolutely i now chair. that's absolutely sure. we talk about dogs. sure. we just talk about dogs. oh, talk and it's oh, let's talk about and it's really because we've been really good because we've been surrounded few surrounded in the last few months, with the months, especially with with the passing of some major figures. obviously her the obviously her majesty, the queen. we've had pope benedict. we're farewell to we're talking about farewell to the wonderful fay weldon. wonderful about can wonderful thing about how we can you the death and that you deal with the death and that sort stuff. comedian bailey sort of stuff. comedian bailey says dogs have really says his three dogs have really helped mental health. and he helped his mental health. and he was talking. it's a great article in the express today about passing sean locke who about the passing sean locke who died from covid and brilliant comedian. other many, many brilliant people in the arts and so on and so forth. but he says his dogs have been a major source helping him his source of helping him with his mental health. i know there are a of people there who a lot of people out there who have a tremendous way have suffered a tremendous way and pets are of the
