should wear uniform, should wear a uniform, which, i mean, doesn't make you actually go out and buy a uniform and then wear in public. does but then wear it in public. does but that go, i have been that where you go, i have been asking to your asking you to send in your siblings scraps. okay. vaiews@gbnews.uk and already you wonderful people have not disappointed, including julie , disappointed, including julie, who apparently is to settle on her the steam of the her brother the steam of the cattle. was about 11 at the cattle. she was about 11 at the time. keep them time. for that, go. keep them coming it's rather coming in. it's rather entertaining. the crucial bit is none written a book none of you have written a book anyway. us now is, our anyway. joining us now is, our royal correspondent, cameron walker. cameron, slapped walker. cameron, how got slapped around a today. well, that around a bit today. well, that is allegation prince is the allegation that prince harry in his memoir. it's harry makes in his memoir. it's a extracts that's been a leaked extracts that's been given to the guardian newspaper . morning. william . morning. yeah. so william calls meghan reid difficult and abrasive. shocking of course. thatis abrasive. shocking of course. that is binaries of which many people have claims. meghan is like we don't know meghan personally, so we couldn't possibly that is what possibly say. but that is what prince william , according to prince william, according to prince william, according to prince then prince prince harry. then prince william pushed him to the ground, allegedly , and he fell ground, allegedly, and he fell onto a dog below . dog bone

onto a dog below. dog bone cracked, as you said , and he cracked, as you said, and he pred cracked, as you said, and he ripped his necklace as well to many people , they are saying many people, they are saying that this is a normal sibling scrap . the issue is prince scrap. the issue is prince william's. yes. to the throne. yes and prince harry is also prince of the realm at that point . and the fact is now being point. and the fact is now being played very much in public for the whole to see doesn't look very good for either. kensington palace or prince harry. clearly you can some palace or buckingham palace have not commented on this. they haven't commented on this. they haven't commented on this. they haven't commented on any of the we've seen so far. no no. before we get onto uniform, i just want to talk about the father. maybe the reason this is all coming out and why harry's got a chip on his shoulder is because does actually see william as is, quote, nemesis. yes so he has now done a third promotional interview , this book memoir with interview, this book memoir with , good morning america on, abc. and in that excuse me and prince harry says, well, in the memoir,

he refers to prince as his arch nemesis. now interview challenges prince harry on that and said, what do you mean, that's prince william? who is your arch nemesis? his response was that they they've been challenging each from the start. they've been excuse they are harry and william throughout that charles have always been at with each other so that's what he referring to the fact that prince charles prince is the spare and william is the heir. so he is always essentially in prince william's shadow. yes, i can understand how at times dunng can understand how at times during that might be difficult. it's probably worth me disclosing at the moment, you know, i don't have any brothers or sisters as sibling rivalry have been on other a lot have been lost on my other a lot of my friends of course, are brothers and sisters. and i have witnessed epic scraps, witnessed some epic scraps, especially the that take place on front so all the on the front lawn. so all the neighbours can say and is, to neighbours can say and it is, to be honest, if you normally quite good do normally good value they do normally settle dispute and on settle the dispute and move on it's things that it's one of those things that people do tend to move on from.

one of the biggest regrets for prince says one of the prince harry says one of the biggest life. and biggest regrets of his life. and i'm surprised, by the way, i'm not surprised, by the way, is a uniform in public is wearing a uniform in public and all that and we can all agree that probably wasn't the time to air he now is trying essentially he now is trying to essentially blame for this. blame william and kate for this. yes he said during the yes so he said during the netflix documentary, wearing that the that uniform was one of the biggest mistakes of life. but prince in his prince harry claims in his new book was actually on book that, it was actually on the of , william the suggestion of, william and kate, wore the uniforms. kate, that he wore the uniforms. this is a party back in 2005, they both in their early twenties. the theme of the party nafive twenties. the theme of the party native and colonial. that was the theme at the party. prince harry. he says, had two separate opfions harry. he says, had two separate options where he had to outfit and he had the he up with the he rang up willing kate to decide to ask which one they think he should wear. will and kate allegedly told him to wear the uniform. prince william allegedly laughter when he allegedly held laughter when he saw his brother. but, you know, he actually it did his lawyer go. that'll be . you drunk may go. that'll be. you drunk may down pub when you go court may not be a laughing that he

actually does it you know is i don't think it paints harry in a particular good light does it and aren't maybe implies and aren't you maybe implies easily is but then the easily laddie is but then the problem with was that's a picture of wearing this uniform problem with was that's a pict|up of wearing this uniform problem with was that's a pict|up on wearing this uniform problem with was that's a pict|up on the �*ing this uniform problem with was that's a pict|up on the front�*nis uniform problem with was that's a pict|up on the front coveriform problem with was that's a pict|up on the front cover of 'm problem with was that's a pict|up on the front cover of the and up on the front cover of the sun hugely damaging sun newspaper, hugely damaging for reputation and again, sun newspaper, hugely damaging fo goes reputation and again, sun newspaper, hugely damaging fo goes the itation and again, sun newspaper, hugely damaging fo goes the narrative nd again, sun newspaper, hugely damaging fo goes the narrative thatgain, it goes the narrative that prince harry believes that the institution was covering . institution was covering. perhaps prince william's , in perhaps prince william's, in inverted commas , to make prince inverted commas, to make prince william look better and, harry look worse. but from as far as i can tell, there is, no one he physically forced harry to wear that. you know, when william wasn't william didn't stitch him into . it did it. it wasn't like into. it did it. it wasn't like rod, come on. i'm holding you down now over the double bow. get the dog. bow back. walk over the dog bow. stitching him into a uniform of with a uniform of fitting with armband everything. no, armband and everything. no, i mean, really think mean, i don't really think this paints a particularly paints harry in a particularly good this is now being good light. so this is now being drip for that. we're going to be talking about this throughout the the the course. the show, by the way, books in front me way, the books in front of me now is off with your sibling rivalry, lot rivalry, which actually a lot of

them are a lot worse than an alleged scrap between harry and wills. thing did find wills. one thing i did find interesting, going to interesting, just going back to this notion william this notion that william allegedly was allegedly anyway, harry was spitting said he spitting mad, said that he didn't particularly way didn't particularly like the way that behaving, that that meghan was behaving, that he already he he was already with rage. he then approached . harry retreated then approached. harry retreated into the kitchen. william realised he made a mistake and urged harry to hit him back. i think he's just quite funny. yeah prince harry says that william later for the fact that he pushed to the grounds again , he pushed to the grounds again, it's this narrative, isn't it? but it is a bit of a sibling scrap. prince harry also said he was scared of his brother . scrap. prince harry also said he was scared of his brother. this is the prince harry he serves to tours of afghanistan. afghan. yeah exactly. i mean. yeah so the taliban. that's fine. i can take the taliban. angry, older. less so. i think what we do need to remember is prince is his words . it was written by words. it was written by ghost—writer and the ghost—writer and the ghost—writer have known that he needed to make as dramatic as possible in order to make the book sellable . yes, that makes

book sellable. yes, that makes sense. oh, well , look, come to sense. oh, well, look, come to think. where are you getting one side of a stone. we all rarely get from one side. so it looks as though as it currently stands. we might only get one side of the story because they're the royal they're rising it. the royal family sounds. yes, they family as it sounds. yes, they are. to. thank are. they are all come to. thank you much as ever camera and you very much as ever camera and walk royal walk that all royal correspondent right now we do have a little clip believe as. have a little clip i believe as. well, this is well, another clip. this is prince harry, just probably going to think i don't how going to think i don't know how staying ever going to staying silent is ever going to make better. wouldn't staying silent is ever going to makebrother better. wouldn't staying silent is ever going to makebrother sayter. wouldn't staying silent is ever going to makebrother say to wouldn't staying silent is ever going to makebrother say to you,ildn't staying silent is ever going to makebrother say to you, harry, your brother say to you, harry, how you do this me how could you do this to me after everything after everything we went through? wouldn't that be what he would say? probably say all sorts say? he probably say all sorts of different people of different things. some people will have against will say you have against invasions your privacy all invasions of your privacy all your life. but the accusation be here. are you invading the privacy of your most nearest and dearest permission? that will be the accusation . that would be the accusation. that would be the accusation. that would be the from . the people the accusation from. the people that don't or don't want to believe that my family have been briefing the press. if you're ianed briefing the press. if you're invited to the coronation , you

invited to the coronation, you come. there's a lot that happen between now and then, but you know, the door is always open . know, the door is always open. the ball is in their court. there's a lot to be discussed and i really hope that they are willing to sit down and talk it. do you still believe in the monarchy. yes. do you believe you part in its future. you play a part in its future. i don't know . right. well, there don't know. right. well, there we go. look, as you can, we're going to turning our going to be turning our attention back the great big attention back to the great big royal throughout royal rumble throughout the course it's fair course of this show. it's fair to say that. not a lot you to say that. not a lot of you have sympathy, prince have too much sympathy, prince harry. do have sympathy harry. if you do have sympathy for this has for prince harry and this has changed your mind, him or you always have sympathy him, always have sympathy for him, make let me know. i am make sure. you let me know. i am asking you send in your asking you to. send in your sibling stories sibling rivalry stories including a rather including johnny copped a rather nasty brother nasty headbutts off his brother in front garden, but it said in the front garden, but it said that dispute settled that the dispute was settled shortly john shortly after that. another john has been on as well. he said his brother used to beat him up three a he says three times a year. he says never any harm, although never did him any harm, although that i suppose it's that of course, i suppose it's all subjective. you have to all subjective. did you have to call your therapist afterwards, not tell new wife? i don't not tell your new wife? i don't know gb does know gb views on gb news does you now. circus to the

you k right now. circus to the more serious matters, some would say starmer is accused say sir keir starmer is accused roshi offering the country roshi sunak offering the country only more promises, more platitudes out at platitudes as he hits out at plaster and. his new plaster politics and. his new year's he delivered in year's speech he delivered in london today. the labour leader claimed party would claimed that his party would embrace take back control embrace the take back control message interesting turn message. it was interesting turn of the but will turn it of phrase. the but will turn it from slogan to a solution with from a slogan to a solution with plans to devolve new powers over employment support , energy, employment support, energy, climate housing, climate change, housing, culture, child care provision , culture, child care provision, how councils run their finances. some would argue that's away control, but i am splitting here. he did also address the migrant crisis, which is one of the prime minister's top five priorities. starmer said the main aspects of labour's plan for preventing migrant crossings in, the english channel in small boats revolve around cracking down on criminal speeding up the asylum process. some upstream stuff that some stuff will talk about, all of that . i believe we about, all of that. i believe we might be able to have a little bit of a listen to some of the key moments from his speech people know we care. they always

know the labour party cares and they can now see a party that both competent and compassionate , a party that understands what it means to put service to the country first it did . as we country first it did. as we stood in front of a transformer , it didn't say it was anyway. now let's get some reaction from political reporter catherine foster and our economics and business editor liam halligan . business editor liam halligan. i'll you. you i'll go with you. you were there. was it i'd there. what was it like? i'd just to say that orange just like to say that orange robotic they they'd robotic arm. yeah, they they'd very deliberately they had the speech in east london , metres speech in east london, metres away from where the prime minister did his yesterday with a very sort of staid blue backdrop . but they've gone to backdrop. but they've gone to this ucl advanced manufacturing , robots, tech, all things that labour want to push and say that we've got huge potential in this country, that we need to develop. but what really struck me was those three little words take back control because of course that was dominic genius slogan that get the brexit

through and cast armour was mr. remainer he he campaigned very strongly for remain and he then campaigned for a second referendum saying let's have a wreath ink and now he's saying yes he campaigned for remain but when he was going around the country he said he couldn't disagree with basic case. well what wanted which was good pubuc what wanted which was good public service opportunities for their children good jobs in their children good jobs in their local areas that they get it and so they're taking this slogan and they're going have a bill in the king's speech, assuming they get into government. i take control bill all about decent giving people power back to their community. yes. okay i mean, it's top trawling, really. i think some people would say to use that slogan to rehash it. liam, i love it. you're right. now economics and business editor. now, he said, as he wasn't going to the chequebook to get the chequebook out the

same him saying that he same time as him saying that he wasn't going introduce particularly tougher laws. it comes strikes, comes to banning strikes, clamping i'm comes to banning strikes, clarsure] i'm comes to banning strikes, clarsure how i'm comes to banning strikes, clarsure how he i'm comes to banning strikes, clarsure how he marries i'm comes to banning strikes, clarsure how he marries those1 not sure how he marries those two things because justice two things up because justice means strikes in means just strikes in perpetuity. time when perpetuity. i the time when christmas is over people are worried about their future worried about their future worried about the bills hitting the worried about their electricity and gas costs, worried about their kids buying a house. i thought this frankly and yesterday speech from rishi and yesterday speech from rishi a lot of political parlour games a lot of political parlour games a lot of phrase making and gimmicky catchphrases with little actual substantive policy on the table that people can think do i want a government that does that or don't i? look, i was a political correspondent for a long time. i'm obsessed with politics i love the contrast to politics. but i do think the is screaming think the country is screaming out leadership. out for leadership. where are the proposals from keir the actual proposals from keir starmer on social housing. he's going to build on ways he's actually going to level up.

going beyond plastics about we're going to give power back and a rather cynical reuse rehash of a phrase given that he knows a lot of red wall voters won't him particularly as a silky lawyer for trying to reverse the brexit vote ? so reverse the brexit vote? so i understand how politics works . i understand how politics works. i think at a time like now our political class does itself a disservice with a lot of the phrase woke people want are concrete policies that will help them and their families to get through what's going to be a very tough year. yeah they want to cling on to that. they want leadership. i think people do fundamentally led. fundamentally want to be led. there's a fine line between that and electing a dictator of. course but do course there is. but people do want something can actually want something they can actually cling and kind of be led by cling onto and kind of be led by both you very much. both you. thank you very much. i'm back shortly, i'm sure we'll be back shortly, i'm sure we'll be back shortly, i because we've also on i think, because we've also on political economics i think, because we've also on poli'business economics i think, because we've also on poli'business editor:onomics i think, because we've also on poli'business editor liam iics and business editor liam halligan initial halligan giving their initial snap to keir snap reaction to what keir starmer to earlier on. starmer had to say earlier on. but speaking this afternoon, the foreign james cleverly criticised the leader

criticised, the labour leader for light on the detail. i for being light on the detail. i landed the whole country saw from that speech was a bit of a vacuum . he spoke a lot. didn't vacuum. he spoke a lot. didn't really say anything and the four things that we have had to deal with as a government the with as a government over the last decade so, including last decade or so, including russia's illegal unprovoked invasion ukraine a global invasion of ukraine a global pandemic we've of course, had to deal with and rishi sunak, when he was chancellor put the largest support package people in their jobs keeping people in in theirjobs keeping people in their homes, helping them put food on the table. we saw the rollout of a vaccination and we've now seen our strong commitment to ukraine as it defends itself against russia. that's what we've been doing . that's what we've been doing. what i've yet to see and what i don't think anyone saw in that speech was any labour plans for the future . right. okay. well, the future. right. okay. well, james cleverly, like we did with rishi sunak's plan for 2023 yesterday, the five point plan that you can condensed into three points. let let's now turn to a labour and a tory voice as

well left wing right wings. it's not the best way of putting, is it. got some reaction to sir keir starmer's vision pizza bones , a political commentator bones, a political commentator and strategist on scarlett maguire, well a former to maguire, as well as a former to the party. politics right the labour party. politics right to skull. i will start you if that's all right people are criticising sir keir for being light on the detail now. i think what we have to understand on these is labour's not government right is that people want to know is that when the next general election, where is going and so what keir was doing was the direction of travel. now when it really mattered last . when it really mattered last. summer but we needed detail, we had detail was keir who put you first proposed a cap and energy cap right ? it first proposed a cap and energy cap right? it was keir who proposed a serious tax on oil and gas companies who were making much money. that's when that's when you need to do it. now what he's saying is, look, this is where we're going right

? first of all, what we're going to do is we the only way of levelling up is actually devolve . buying power is letting people decide what they're going do. right. and what we can't do is what he calls sticking plaster where you're just having it for the next 5 minutes. and so actually , i think it was actually, i think it was absolutely right he did a direction of travel. this is where the labour party's taking you. all right, scott? i'll go back to you. i'll bring and pizza. bones let's go. commentator strategist one thing i maybe he's on a bit of i thought maybe he's on a bit of a about is he a sticky wicket about is he saying, he's going get saying, he's not going to get the book out, but at the cheque book out, but at the same time not going to same time he's also not going to try to introduce stricter rules on comes to on regs when it comes to striking. how does he marry those two up? well, those two things up? well, fundamentally that's fundamentally you can't. that's kiss problem that kiss thomas biggest problem that he the world right he can promise the world right now because like like said now because like like you said they're not power. but while they're not in power. but while she was for talking about direction government direction of also of travel, one thing we also have so this is have to realise so this is people's is people's people's mortgages is people's houses, livelihoods. houses, lives and livelihoods. we just have kind of

we can't just have kind of stinking to politics. stinking pass to politics. what's then doing exact same what's then doing the exact same thing? keir starmer's offered absolutely no detail, no policy gravitas about gravitas for about for about a year now. and then if you even want to back to what want to go back to what he supposedly detail, was supposedly the detail, there was a hole all these a huge black hole all these figures that he had to then do a huge u—turn. so i'm not really when people coming out and when people are coming out and saying, oh, keir starmer is talking about direction of travel seems to me like travel it just seems to me like he's spaghetti junction. he's all spaghetti junction. all right back to you, right i will go back to you, scarlett. look undoubted. a couple biggest couple of the biggest issues that are facing people at the moment are the nhs and small boats starting with boats crisis just starting with the this is labour's the nhs. look, this is labour's baby the labour's sacred cow. baby is the labour's sacred cow. how to fix it? how is he going to fix it? what's okay, so. so is what's he said? okay, so. so is the first problem with the nhs is there's not stuff, right. so so what, what he and wes streeting the shadow person is they are talking about how they're going get more staff and keep staff because people are leaving . i mean, one of the leaving. i mean, one of the reasons for the nurses strike in the nhs is not just the pay they're getting, but they all

worried about people leaving is they're doing more and more, you know , 2 to 2 jobs are going into know, 2 to 2 jobs are going into one. they all their guts out . so one. they all their guts out. so actually that's the other thing is social care . boris johnson is social care. boris johnson that when he got into number 10 said i have a social cap on, we have yet to see it three years on. so what we really need is social care . okay, look, just social care. okay, look, just sorry . just quit and just get sorry. just quit and just get back on that. so. so he's not going to pay the stuff that much more. he wants to improve the conditions. he says wants to recruit more. there'll be that always wants to recruit more but what detail but. i was what is the detail but. i was going that. well, one of going to do that. well, one of the things is he's going to the things that is he's going to he's going to make the pension scheme better which which because at the moment, the problem pensions scheme because at the moment, the prit lem pensions scheme because at the moment, the prit encourages pensions scheme because at the moment, the prit encourages people )ns scheme because at the moment, the prit encourages people leave 1eme is it encourages people leave far too early and he's going to make less. and of course, the nurses have to be paid better. i i would very much doubt in fact, i would very much doubt in fact, i would very much doubt in fact, i would i would bet house that it's not he not thinking about

19% but actually he would negotiate the nurses and that is what we need is somebody who will actually go in there and negotiate rather than say, oh no, it's 2.2% or nothing. all right, peter , the other big right, peter, the other big issue, i suppose, for a lot of people. well, one of the other big issues for a lot people is what's going on in the channel he said that he wants to crack down on the people gangs and he wants up the asylum wants to speed up the asylum system. not hearing too system. we're not hearing too much stuff there, are we? much new stuff there, are we? really? everyone really? i think everyone wants to well, i mean, we've to do that. well, i mean, we've not heard anything because let's don't labour have don't forget, labour have continually voted against most of measures of the conservative measures to try restrict least try and restrict or at least control way the channel control in some way the channel boats they've actively boats crossing they've actively sided on sided against the government on most of this stuff. so somehow they're to be coming out they're going to be coming out against these kind against this this as these kind of on immigration of tough on immigration government. understand government. i don't understand how square up the how you could square up the square peg of absolute idea square peg of absolute know idea this fundamental this is my fundamental problem which has been which is tough and it has been for some time he's saying one thing to one group is saying another another group another thing to another group to pursue power. to do nothing but pursue power.

you know why we have you ought to know why we have sticking plaster politics. it's because we've allowed system because we've allowed a system like from like this to continue from oppositions as well as governments. detail governments. people detail because important because this is really important stuff just not for the stuff and we're just not for the labour party and i just don't think they're taking any of this. are a this. seriously, we are a bit pressed for time i'm going pressed for time guys. i'm going to squeeze one more to try and squeeze one more very quick both of you, quick one. we both of you, scala, there enough of scala, is there enough of a point to between keir starmer and mary sunak because we've had two announcements in two days you could a wrestler paper you could stick a wrestler paper them. a massive them. now there's a massive point difference. of them point of difference. one of them is somebody who is whose government has in power for 12 years they're trying to years and they're now trying to the things that have been going wrong and other person who's wrong and the other person who's going in actually going to come in and actually change country, and that's change the country, and that's what , somebody who's what we need, is somebody who's going country for going to change the country for the and peter's bigger zoomed out picture here now described it night as this being led it last night as this being led by men's club. we wild by the old men's club. we wild and a dull men's club and sometimes a dull men's club isn't necessarily the worst thing to be by. i actually thing to be led by. i actually do think the government the country actually is once country mazari actually is once more leadership. i don't more bold leadership. i don't think we're going to i don't

really see that from. keir starmer i mean he's nothing but a nice haircut an expensive a nice haircut and an expensive suit not between and suit and not much in between and you basically all get the you can basically all get the same about rishi sunak same thing about rishi sunak i want parties put want both political parties put radical there's radical agendas forward. there's nothing to nothing wrong in trying to be bold and trying new things because think that's the only way going to start way we're going to jump start country. look, both country. all right, look, both of you very much. i'm of you, thank you very much. i'm bang time well. jess guys. bang on time as well. jess guys. lovely stuff. scarlett mcguire, that course, i for that is. of course, i for advises labour party on political political political i suppose political commentator and strategist that we just reacting to keir starmer's big speech today. i can't help but feel though when it came to rishi sunak and keir, it came to rishi sunak and keir, it was like that scene out the thick isn't it not thick of it isn't it not fabulous. bbc sitcom you fabulous. bbc sitcom would you call it series or the big announcement is that there isn't announcement is that there isn't a big announcement but there we go anyway you're me patrick go anyway you're with me patrick christys news coming. christys on gb news coming. we're highway a greener we're on a highway to a greener future sail of new future overall. we sail of new cars have to the lowest cars have sunk to the lowest level decades. level three decades. but electric cars have overtaken diesel in the popularity charts. also we are being urged potentially to drive slower to

save the planet . will you slow save the planet. will you slow down for the polar ? that's what down for the polar? that's what i want to hear your thoughts in vaiews@gbnews.uk . critically, vaiews@gbnews.uk. critically, though critically, i want your sibling rivalry stories. this is in light of harry whinging about william. yes vaiews@gbnews.uk . william. yes vaiews@gbnews.uk. now i've quit right.

welcome back . 333 i'm around and welcome back. 333 i'm around and joan's in the gb newsroom in his first speech of the new year, sir keir starmer's promised a decade national renewal if labour comes to power. conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi called his speech a desperate relaunch . the labour a desperate relaunch. the labour leader set plans today to modernise central government. he also claimed prime minister has

no ambition for the future he sought yesterday from the prime minister. commentary solution more promises, more platitudes , more promises, more platitudes, no ambition to take us forward . no ambition to take us forward. no sense of what the country 13 years of nothing but sticking plaster . years of nothing but sticking plaster. it's years of nothing but sticking plaster . it's why every crisis plaster. it's why every crisis hits britain harder than our competitors . the only country competitors. the only country the g7 polled and it was before the g7 polled and it was before the pandemic the worst case for growth in two centuries. 7 million of waiting lists and rising the is proposing new laws requiring minimum service levels , public sector strikes . the , public sector strikes. the announcement comes amid a third consecutive day rail disruption as drivers from 15 companies walk out with some areas having no trains running . all has left no trains running. all has left general electric claims the laws could backfire , prompting could backfire, prompting workers to stage longer of industrial action . but business

industrial action. but business secretary grant shapps says the new laws are necessary for safety within the nhs . if, for safety within the nhs. if, for example, you've got somebody who has a heart attack , maybe a has a heart attack, maybe a stroke, the idea that there may not be an ambulance coming because there's a strike on i think is unacceptable. we're not proposing to go the full halt. other countries, parts of america canada or australia, they have which bans those blue lights entirely from going on strike. we're not proposing that. i think it's very reasonable. what would suggesting . and prince harry suggesting. and prince harry reportedly claims in his autobiography spare that was attacked by his brother over his marriage to meghan markle , a marriage to meghan markle, a leaked extract published in the guardian alleges prince william harry and knocked him to the in 2019. it's also been revealed the duke of sussex refers to his brother in the book as arch nemesis. buckingham has declined to comment . tv online and b plus to comment. tv online and b plus radio is gb news now it's back

to . to. patrick welcome back, everybody. you'll be pleased to know we're taking a little bit of a break from the old harry and meghan's found the keir starmer and rishi sunak's stuff to talk about the electric car stuff, of cars in car stuff, new sales of cars in the if it's a 30 year low, the uk if it's a 30 year low, according to new figures, 1.61 million cars were in the uk million new cars were in the uk in 2022. the figure since 1992, however , sales of electric cars however, sales of electric cars have soared , accounting for have soared, accounting for a fifth of all new sales and surpassing diesel vehicles for the first time in. market share to be the second most purchased car type after petrol. it is of course, bad news for all of those child slave labour as you have to dig out the components from various different african mine today, there are mine shafts. today, there are reports mps calling the reports some mps calling on the

government motorways government to reduce motorways limits from 70 miles an hour to just four miles per hour to reduce emissions. and our dependence on oil imports. with me now is , jim holder, the me now is, jim holder, the editorial director of what car stuff. so people are shifting to electric to save the planet all theyi electric to save the planet all they i think there are many reasons why people have been buying cars certainly the environmental is one of them . environmental is one of them. there's also been some financial that have driven towards purchasing them . i think purchasing them. i think increasingly they're seeing they can be a positive in their life. that's not a switch necessarily comes with compromises you know, there are advantages as well as disadvantages to electric and i think people are increasingly buying into those concepts . what buying into those concepts. what is it now going to prove more expensive own an electric car. i'm just wondering with things like energy costs, for example, and people have essentially been subsidised into getting them those subsidies. one would imagine, would day. do

imagine, would stop one day. do you people are maybe being you think people are maybe being conned? think it's conned? yeah, well, i think it's certainly true that the government is already announced it will reduce and then remove the subsidies eventually from 2025. said it will start 2025. it said it will start taxing via road tax owners of , taxing via road tax owners of, electric vehicles. so certainly the costs there are going up and you're absolutely we all know about the cost of living crisis and the rising energy prices . i and the rising energy prices. i think what we can say with some confidence is that if you can draw a or electric car at home rather than using typically more expensive public charges, you still a cost advantage on your site . most efficient electric site. most efficient electric car will cost something around seven or eight p per mile on a 35 per kilowatt tariff to run. that's some way cheaper than even most efficient petrol or diesel car . so there are still diesel car. so there are still advantages have. but absolutely, you're right, some of them have been eroded by the cost of living crisis as we face into it, i'm quite concerned about

sustainable in a human sense electric cars actually are . i've electric cars actually are. i've lived reading articles here in front of me now congo child slave labour for your electric car pretty horrific images of children being forced down to dig out bits are relevant for the manufacture of these cars do think actually it's morally unconscious to own one of these things but i don't think it's morally uncomfortable now i think there have been issues and i think they have largely been tackled. i think we have to trust in these major manufactured issues and the crisis that they would face into were they to be exposed to be unethically sourcing these materials. so what i think is really important that you raise it. i it's really important that it's monitored i the kind it's monitored i think the kind of brands we're talking about they can't risk those associations they can't risk taking advantage of the sort of situations and images that you are talking about. so i think the factory industry and the mining industry have come an

awful long way since those sort of headlines relevant i think you are absolutely right to raise it. and we should continue to monitor it. we don't want to know what dieselgate where it emerged the fuel choice was was negative, but i the concerns are exaggerate it in many policies just quickly ironically , given just quickly ironically, given what i'm about to ask you, we're being asked slow down to save the planet. so is it going from 70 miles an hour to 64 miles an houn 70 miles an hour to 64 miles an hour, able to drive 75, hour, being able to drive us 75, 70 miles an hour on motorway 70 miles an hour on a motorway would fine thing these would be a fine thing these days.i would be a fine thing these days. i mean, i was driving by quite late one night and the motorway was empty. is four lanes empty and the lanes of empty motorway and the big signs of do 50, do 51. i mean, we're being told to do mean, so we're being told to do 64 miles an hour so that we don't kill more polar bears. you won't that there's ways of won't learn that there's ways of looking it. you are looking at it. you are absolutely right. it be lovely if our average motorway could be 70 hour. think all 70 miles an hour. i think all celebrate that . think the celebrate that. i think the flipside point people flipside and the point people are to make is that if do are trying to make is that if do drive slower, you get exponential better fuel economy.

so you know, 64 miles an hour. you're probably saving ten or 15% on your fuel, but only arriving a few minutes later, you know, a couple of extra miles an hour. it really doesn't take much off in terms of time if anything other than the very longest, what's the point you made is true. yeah fiddle with the speed limits when they're a much bigger advantage just from trying to free up our roads , trying to free up our roads, trying to free up our roads, trying to free up our roads, trying to get them flowing more freely sorts of other freely and all sorts of other things we could perhaps things that we could perhaps do as that have as initiatives that would have more environment. yeah more on the environment. yeah i mean to be fair, i am quite jaded i know that i've got a ticket today turning right. my satnav me to turn right and just as i did. yes all the sign it said no right turn updates my maps. but anyway, very good enough about me jim. thank you very hold the very much. hold that. the editorial director walt carr editorial director of walt carr reacting to fact that reacting initially to fact that apparently electric sales apparently electric car sales are through and are going through roof and you're to you're also being asked to drive. you with me, patrick drive. you are with me, patrick christys news the christys on gb news after the break. reaction is prince break. more reaction is prince harry justifies speaking out against the royal family? i don't know how staying silent is

ever going to make things better . wouldn't your brother say to you, harry, how you do this to me after everything after everything through? everything we went through? wouldn't what he would wouldn't that be what he would say? he'd say all sorts say? he'd probably say all sorts of things. yes. prince of different things. yes. prince harry that william harry is claiming that william him him around the neck him grabbed him around the neck , his necklace, and pushed , broke his necklace, and pushed him over into a dog's bowl, the top, all smashed and also as well planted the seed of thought in mind he to we in his mind that he had to we had to wear that uniform as well. it's overall, pathetic stuff is the damage the duke of sussex inflicting his own sussex is inflicting on his own family irreparable. family the royals irreparable. i want your sibling want to know your sibling rivalries scratch rivalries your sibling scratch gbviews@gbnews.uk and surely surely can't come to the surely now can't come to the coronation. now get off a.

break back now to the big royal rumble

brewing. as more revelations have come , prince harry as he have come, prince harry as he takes aim at brother prince william and, all future king, of course, the duke of sussex has claimed that he , the prince and claimed that he, the prince and princess of wales encouraged him to dress up as. these are just things you never thought you'd read out on national television. isn't it. they thought it. brotherhood him to up as brotherhood wanted him to up as a and howled with laughter when they costume. his they saw him in the costume. his remarks, new memoir, spare remarks, his new memoir, spare look at when he was the age look back at when he was the age of tender of 20. of 20, the tender age of 20. couldn't have known any. no one knows. at the age of 20 that you shouldn't uniform in shouldn't wear a uniform in pubuc shouldn't wear a uniform in public anyway. prince felt public anyway. the prince felt windsor outrage windsor international outrage when on the when he was pictured on the front the sun wearing front of the sun wearing a swastika armband as a soldier from africa corpse. it's not from the africa corpse. it's not the only revelation in the new book we've also got more book it. and we've also got more information of can information of what we can expect from his interview with itv duke sussex looks to itv as the duke sussex looks to defend his actions , speaking out defend his actions, speaking out and essentially trashing own family. i don't know how staying silent is ever going to make things better. wouldn't your

brother say to you, harry how could you do this to me after everything after everything we went wouldn't that be went through? wouldn't that be you would say? he probably say all different things. all sorts of different things. some say you have some people will say you have railed invasions of your railed against invasions of your privacy all your but the privacy all your life. but the accusation would be here, are you invading the privacy of your most and dearest without most nearest and dearest without permission? that'll be accusation. that would be the accusation. that would be the accusation people that accusation from the people that don't understand or . don't want don't understand or. don't want to believe that my family have been the press. if you're ianed been the press. if you're invited to the coronation, will you come ? there's a lot that can you come? there's a lot that can happen between now and then. but, you know , the door is but, you know, the door is always open. the ball is in their court. there's a lot to be discussed. and i really hope that are willing to sit that they are willing to sit down and talk it. do you down and talk about it. do you still in the monarchy? still believe in the monarchy? yes. do you believe you will play yes. do you believe you will play a in future? play a part in its future? i don't know . no play a part in its future? i don't know. no i'm asking, is prince harry right to go public and speak out against his brother prince william to share his thoughts? i'm joined by his thoughts? i'm joined now by historian and licenced lay minister the church of

minister for the church of england martin watts. martin, england, martin watts. martin, thank you very what thank you very, very much. what do of idea now that do you make of idea now that prince is coming out basically saying william ripped my necklace ? well, like people, necklace? well, like people, i've been reading excerpts from spanish editions of and so on and so forth that have been leaking into the media today. yet, like yourself, we've heard all kind of accusations and accusations about the briefings against him and meghan, whether that was the time when they had a joint comms or when separate comms couldn't quite work out from the bits that i read. basically, it's really, really sad . and my feeling is, having sad. and my feeling is, having seen the history of what happened between prince i see them wars and princess diana as she then was as they played out a family over the media airways. i just think it's absolutely tragic seeing this happen again and i'm not a position to comment on all the details or accusations. well but i feel this is no way to conduct a

family disagreement. well it's not the royal any family any family disagreement . one thing i family disagreement. one thing i think you are qualified to comment as a licenced lay minister for the church of england, king charles, head of the church, should not have a duty now, then and his religious capacity to forgive, to move on to seek reconciliation. oh no , to seek reconciliation. oh no, i'm a christian. i think that should always be rooted in everybody . absolutely the need everybody. absolutely the need for forgiveness and reconciliation . but i still reconciliation. but i still would emphasise at these sensitive things in the public domain by megaphone is a really big mistake and. i think what's happening through the netflix interviews at the interviews before that coming out of spain and so on is actually just fuelling a situation where the royal family are not able, because of etiquette, to respond what everyone thinks about the details of accusations and yet what it is, it just escalates further, further. so, yeah,

there is all ways lapses, in my opinion, on forgiveness, reconciliation, moving forward. but that's not going to happen . but that's not going to happen. while this very sensitive situation played out in the full glare of the media, i think the big mistake. big mistake. yeah absolutely. and look, anyone watches this show will know exactly where stand on this particular issue. i'm not a massive of prince harry, but you . i do have to ask and forgive me asking this would king be about christian if he didn't put his arm around his own son and say, right, look, i'm going to wish if this is what it takes to shut you up and to stop this and to make sure we can set an example of the family to, the nafion example of the family to, the nation the nation's church nation and the nation's church that head of. what do be that i'm the head of. what do be about, if he doesn't about, christine, if he doesn't do ? well, certainly the do that? well, certainly the final analysis is, you know, that's between king charles and god. but nevertheless, if you were starting me this afternoon andifs were starting me this afternoon and it's unlikely i've my phone, but if you have 30 me this afternoon, i would go the afternoon, i would say go the extra mile, reach out. not how you feel about how betrayed you

feel because sometimes it's in those extraordinary reaching out that miracles of grace happen even situations like this . so even in situations like this. so yeah can't comment on where he yeah i can't comment on where he stands with his faith i can't count he stands but god as a human would say to him human being i would say to him and as a christian i would say, please reach out regardless of wrongs regardless i've wrongs done, regardless of i've slighted because slighted you feel because sometimes to do this in sometimes one has to do this in jesus phrase, go extra mile jesus phrase, go the extra mile , do the thing that you don't think should be expected. you. but other hand, i would but on the other hand, i would also to harry, no more also say to harry, no more megaphone diplomacy, please. it doesn't help. well, this you seem well road. well, seem to be. well road. well, down the road, clearly, harry is incredibly led. i mean, no one could tell me to, wear a uniform and go out with a swastika armband and even if they thought it was hilarious, like to think at some point i would have second about that so second thoughts about that so clearly is incredibly easily led . he's claiming that it was william's idea. . he's claiming that it was william's idea . can i just ask william's idea. can i just ask you quite quickly, martin , you quite quickly, martin, you're minister you're a licenced lay minister for of england. if i for the church of england. if i came to you for a bit advice, i

said, oh, you know, i've married this woman ever i've this woman and ever since i've married off , this woman and ever since i've married off, i've this woman and ever since i've married off , i've lost all my married off, i've lost all my friends. i've my brother a fallen out , my father i feel a fallen out, my father i feel a bit lost. do you think at any point you might say you might marry the wrong woman ? i think marry the wrong woman? i think before i said that, hopefully i'd say you need counsel, you need to sit down together. and if you this through , obviously if you this through, obviously it could well be in a situation . you begin to think, gosh, this is a disastrous. but to start with , am always one of those with, am always one of those people who reach out and say, can be saved. can it be rescued 7 can be saved. can it be rescued ? let's try that first. let's try first. look thank you very, very much. that's great to have your insight and your in person. really appreciate you humouring me as well. that with that says mostly what's there is minister lay for the of england lay minister for the of england reacting to harry on his interjection . i'm just being interjection. i'm just being told it's in my and now apparently there are reports coming as people pick through more of his memoir. more of his book, apparently, anyway, prince

harry has admitted to using cocaine in his book . well, first cocaine in his book. well, first of all, there we go. we've got more on that. supposedly if it really labour it really matters. labour that it opposes government's opposes the government's reported anti legislation that could result in employers being able to sue unions that the party would likely repeal any such bill if it wins next election. during a speech earlier, sir keir starmer claimed that the tories plans to keep minimum service during strike action wouldn't work. trade unions have vowed to legally contest the plans raising. the question of whether the government have the power to curtail strike action. here's the business secretary grant shapps on those plans for. the business secretary grant shapps on those plans for . a shapps on those plans for. a minimum service arrangement limits to the amount of strike action that you can take, in point of fact. i'd rather we never have to go this this never have to go down this this route in the most recent strikes, for example, with ambulances, you had the royal college of nursing who in the nurses strike did agree a national level what the minimum safety level would be . but with safety level would be. but with the ambulances that was left to

a postcode lottery . and i think a postcode lottery. and i think it's not that's on. so what i'm hoping is across the economy because this would apply in lots of different areas of the economy . i'm of different areas of the economy. i'm hoping of different areas of the economy . i'm hoping actually economy. i'm hoping actually that unions and the employers can get together , do sensible can get together, do sensible things in order to , guarantee a things in order to, guarantee a minimum safety or service level in each different . that would in each different. that would always be the preference . what always be the preference. what we're going to do is take the powers, impose that if required. well, that's crunch ups. they're just discussing all that. with me now is christopher snowdon , me now is christopher snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at the iea and rob williams, a socialist party industrial and trade unionist, both of thank you very much. are you you very, very much. are you a bit disappointed because ? keir bit disappointed because? keir starmer says essentially reading between lines going to let between lines he's going to let you on striking, but he's you carry on striking, but he's not going to any pay rises not going to give any pay rises that got chequebook . that he's not got chequebook. well, that is wrong is well, i mean that is wrong is that keir starmer should if he wants to set himself out in opposition the tories then opposition to the tories then will work as a demand and is nothing more than to have an income that keeps pace with

spiralling prices but doesn't say anything about this tory government. a year to go 800 workers for piano are sacked brutally, supposedly illegally. nothing at all has happened to them. i know they respond to the cost of crisis is to try to what is already the most undemocratic, restrictive anti—union in western europe . anti—union in western europe. even more restrictive. it's only workers are not going to take it . fair enough. but i suppose his argument will be we can keep striking, but it'll go bankrupt. christmas the of lifestyle economics at the iea . what did economics at the iea. what did keir starmer actually say of today. keir starmer actually say of today . i don't know i didn't see today. i don't know i didn't see a speech. good okay . all right. a speech. good okay. all right. fair enough. do you honestly believe, though, that maybe he should be getting the cheque book out for workers a little bit? i mean, i think rather than talking about banning people from striking, which should always be a last resort, i mean, the government be negotiating a bit, take nurses, for bit, you take nurses, for example. they're example. obviously, they're not expecting it's

expecting to get 19. it's clearly negotiating position in i think the nurses have accepted a pay i think the nurses have accepted a pay rise of 7.5. so than just immediately threaten to ban people from striking if actually means forcing them to work which is not particularly liberal thing to . do i think the thing to. do i think the government should be round the table of all these people? it's a posties or the ambulance drivers , nurses, train drivers, nurses, the train drivers, nurses, the train drivers , you know, the train drivers, you know, the train ticket prices are going , i think ticket prices are going, i think by 6% this year. why offer the train drivers and, the train staff, 6% as well. the private sector , roughly speaking, is sector, roughly speaking, is getting nominal pay growth of 6, which are pay cuts . real terms, which are pay cuts. real terms, of course, because we have double digit. but it's more than what the nurses are being offered. i think a lot more than what the train workers are being offered . one model just offer offered. one model just offer that saying the private sector is getting 6. we're these skills if you don't want to take that fine but i think you would find that the general public would be happier . that the general public would be happier. that was the that the general public would be happier . that was the offer. happier. that was the offer. well, on that about public popularity, i suppose throwbacks

you rob williams, socialist industrial organiser if the strikes were as popular with the pubuc strikes were as popular with the public as the likes of mick lynch co to claim that lynch and co like to claim that keir be supporting keir would be supporting the money to win an money but he wants to win an election. obviously realises election. he obviously realises that don't. people that people don't. but people like a strike . i like you calling for a strike. i don't think that's the case, actually. i think what is with keir starmer is he thinks he could become the minister could become the prime minister very soon he doesn't want to he doesn't want to pay those workers those pay rises going forward and unfortunately that does that the labour the blairite starmer labour leadership is not on board with working class people. but the point is you it about minimum or the tories reasonable minimum service why it the workers got minimum standards why why is it that we haven't got pay raises that we haven't got pay raises that keep pace with inflation with energy prices . i mean. well with energy prices. i mean. well you always know you've got the tories talking about the employers getting on the table for millions and millions of

pubuc for millions and millions of public sector workers. the tories are the employers and everyone knows that they're behind the royal and the rail disputes anyway. so isn't this the biggest employer in britain? is the tory government and they should be get it on the table giving workers a goes but i thought you want tories if they go down road of more anti—union legislation then workers are going to take action collectively against that. all right christopher does the government, whichever colour they appear to be, does the government not have a duty to try limit strike action because it's costing our billions of pounds, isn't it? these strikes , the hospitality sector lost one and a half billion quid in december alone. is it no economic terrorism ? well, yeah, economic terrorism? well, yeah, but where do you draw the line that i mean, when do you you know the postman, for example , know the postman, for example, be forced to postpone the strike? and he doesn't really bother me. the postman have gone on i mind getting on strike and i mind getting a letter a or two later. i letter a day or two later. i think, in fact should probably

go back to work because i don't think they can have the think they can they have the capacity to the country to capacity to bring the country to this ambulance this standstill ambulance drivers, other drivers, nurses, on the other hand, easily they've hand, very easily and they've got right. got public support. all right. and an extremely and they're doing an extremely important job. we force ambulance to work, ambulance drivers to go to work, in other words, by striking quite possibly other countries do i think you can genuinely do do i think you can genuinely say emergency service. say are an emergency service. but i there's a slippery but i think there's a slippery slope here and the answer, as i said, to stop it is actually said, to stop it is to actually have some serious negotiations. people pay rise people can't their pay to rise in with inflation. the private sector they be off sector isn't. they could be off a more than 2. okay. all a bit more than 2. okay. all good thank you very much. good stuff. thank you very much. both christopher both of you. christopher snowed in lifestyle in the head of lifestyle economics iea, rob economics at the iea, rob williams, socialist party williams, the socialist party industrial organiser and trade unionist, to the kind unionist, reacting to the kind of saying in a way of old saying it really in a way by starmer that not by keir starmer that he's not going to the strikes but going to limit the strikes but also the time not got also at the same time not got a chequebook pay the workers chequebook to pay the workers more basically just endless strikes patrick christys strikes anyway. patrick christys on up, strikes anyway. patrick christys on up, loads more on gb news coming up, loads more on gb news coming up, loads more on revelations prince on the revelations of prince harry. i've seen something actually, that shock actually, by the way, that shock you to what's you in relation to what's happened afghanistan him happened in afghanistan with him such.

first look at prince harry's upcoming memoir spam with leaked extract taking direct aim at his brother , future king, prince brother, future king, prince william. the duke of sussex refers to his brother , the refers to his brother, the prince wales, in book as prince of wales, in his book as his nemesis. claims that his arch nemesis. claims that william physically attacked him and prince and princess of wales encouraged him to wear the infamous in his twenties. well, this afternoon in a new clip with the us broadcaster good morning america been released as harry spoke of the release of his book. i think we can have a little and listen to that now. the quote in his book, when you refer to your brother as your beloved brother and arch nemesis , strong words. what did you mean by that ? there is always mean by that? there is always this competition between us. weirdly, i think it really plays into always played by the despair . into always played by the despair. well, there we go. into always played by the despair . well, there we go. lots despair. well, there we go. lots for us to talk about. some quite startling revelations have just dropped and answered . pick them

dropped and answered. pick them apart. with us is our correspondent, cameron walker . correspondent, cameron walker. cameron, we've spoke a bit about the uniform. we spoke a little bit about . the old dog bow bit about. the old dog bow smashing fight stuff. well, this morning, yeah , we're now going morning, yeah, we're now going to have to about prince to have to talk about prince harry's drug use something which he admits in this new he apparently admits in this new memoir. now, i must stress that gb news does not have a copy of but sky news has released what they say is prince harry admits he took cocaine aged 17. so i'm just going to read out what prince harry apparently written in his book . prince harry apparently written in his book. he prince harry apparently written in his book . he says, of course, in his book. he says, of course, i had been taking at that time. and someone's house during a hunting weekends. i offered a line. and since then i had consumed some more. it wasn't very funny and it didn't make me feel especially happy as seems to happen to others. but it did make me feel different and that was my main objective to feel to be different. i a 17 year old willing to try anything that would alter the established

order . at would alter the established order. at least that's what i was trying to myself of. okay, so we know there have been reports that prince harry, when he was a lot younger, had been involved in taking illegal substances , says it's understood substances, says it's understood his father, the then prince charles, essentially orders him to go to rehab. but now we have it here. it looks like if the report was to be believed in black and white in his novel, that's harry has admitted to taking cocaine when he was years old. i mean, to look, to be fat, we all know we do stick it to prince harry quite a bit. and i'm not sure if that many people will be a huge surprise to. him taking drugs or being that, although it's really i'm not sure think there are sure. i think maybe there are also a couple of reports coming out about what did on his second tour of afghanistan down. yes. if prince if you remember that prince harry did on, say, two tours of afghanistan , the first of which afghanistan, the first of which he had be evacuated out he had to be evacuated out pretty quickly because a foreign publication, newspaper broke the

embargo, which was agreement with the palace and the newspapers. so the taliban didn't where he was. and therefore, he would become target. he was hugely distressed and upset that he had to be pulled out early. now, on the second tour, according to i, it's the times you have at times harry's forthcoming book, he has reportedly revealed that he killed 25 taliban fighters dunng killed 25 taliban fighters during his second tour of duty in afghanistan . and i don't have in afghanistan. and i don't have any more details on that. but he says , prince harry says, says, prince harry says, according to these reports, that killed 25 taliban fighters in afghanistan . i mean, to be afghanistan. i mean, to be honest, if harry decided to make a film out of this already we've got fights. his brother, a uniform, coke being used on killing terrorists . so, you killing terrorists. so, you know, i suppose you could argue it might be a blockbuster hit. anyway, look, cameron, thank you very much royal very much our royal correspondent, the current walker will keeping walker will be keeping you abreast fast moving picture abreast of a fast moving picture when comes to prince harry when it comes to prince harry and new memoir spare. but and his new memoir spare. but there go. those have you been there we go. those have you been

getting wanted to getting in touch? i wanted to know a bit about your sibling rivalries, because initially when show, when first started this show, before shooting, before the whole shooting, taliban taking taliban fighters and taking cocaine all about cocaine broke, it was all about him having a bit of him and william having a bit of a scrap. and william, maybe physically assaulting him, you could anyway, could say. i don't know. anyway, the palace won't be commenting on but i was you on that. but i was asking you what sort sibling scraps what we all sort sibling scraps and on brother shot and kim's on my big brother shot me the leg with a pellet gun. me in the leg with a pellet gun. grief says that is when there are children. push me in a pushchair race. i tumbled of the pushchair. that still pushchair. which does that still the friends. and they the best of friends. and they love other has been on love each other day has been on mind lost my life. i have mind this lost my life. i have him with a knife from a doll's tea sets. about 60 years ago. she she's, calling netflix she says she's, calling netflix now can get now see if she can get a multi—million pound deal on the final has no on this. final one has no name on this. oh, yes, is curse. no oh, yes, there is car curse. no 63 ago, his brother. oh 63 years ago, his brother. oh grief care. my heart goes out to you. my my brother. find an arrow from the i will arrow at from across the i will be a sucker end, he says be with a sucker on end, he says it still made him cry, but he does say, grow up, harry so does also say, grow up, harry so that we gb views lgbt is duke that we go gb views lgbt is duke your sibling coming in your sibling scraps coming in anyway? labour

anyway? moving on labour has promised fresh to promised to give fresh powers to local and take it away from westminster. sir keir starmer pledged his party will take pledged that his party will take back control during his first major speech 2023. earlier major speech of 2023. earlier today the labour leader said his party would bring forward a take back control bill, which i think might top trolling given why might be top trolling given why the labour party sounds the things that would things that we get that would devolve london to devolve from london to communities country, communities across country, granting control over granting new control over employee of support, transport, energy , housing and a host of energy, housing and a host of other areas as well. he also took aim at the tories claim that if labour were elected he'd seek to implement a new way governing. we need to push forward and rise the moment, prove we can be a bold reforming government . so not just the government. so not just 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 everyone, not just those at the top and the politics which trust communities with the power to control their destiny .

power to control their destiny. a new government and a new way of governing . britain needs both of governing. britain needs both . and with labour, britain get both well again sir keir starmer there in front of does appear to be a transformer . but our be a transformer. but our political reporter catherine foster joins me in the studio as fosterjoins me in the studio as well as our economics and business at liam halligan. catherine, i'll start you catherine, i'll start you. you were this sort of thing. were there this sort of thing. i'm quite intrigued . so is he i'm quite intrigued. so is he essentially saying local areas are going to basically control over the way that they govern more even effectively? yes, that's right. labour's answer to levelling up, isn't it. because of course boris johnson made huge play of levelling up. it was one of the reasons he got elected with an 80 seat majority saying we understood that people in the regions , they've been in the regions, they've been left behind. it was a driver behind, the brexit vote. keir starmer was saying that in terms of geographical, britain is worst in europe and power is centralised here more than else

andifs centralised here more than else and it's not working . so he and it's not working. so he really has jumped on this take back control that slogan and is turning it around to hopefully it to his advantage saying we get it and people voted to leave the eu but it was also about the fact that they felt they didn't have enough control that locally they didn't have the opportunities there weren't the jobs they weren't the opportunities and that they want to now it's not clear how they're going to do yet, but it will be laid out. this take back control bill, give much more power back local communities, local councils , etc. that's local councils, etc. that's interesting stuff and it'll all be picked apart if we get more on it as well. liam halligan with your economics and business, hats on, what stood out for you from keir starmer's speech? well, the next general election, patrick, be election, patrick, will be likely in 2024 unless there's a snap election. i think what's to happen this year and we've just had the starting gun is a kind of pre—election framing of both parties laying out their offer

as . they say to the electorate as. they say to the electorate and i thought with both starmer's speech today and rishi sunak's yesterday, they were long on rhetoric, but short on actual details. i thought lot of the promises that rishi laid out yesterday will probably be met anyway. like inflation will probably be half what it is by the end of this year, unless there's some massive , you know , there's some massive, you know, escalation in conflict . russia escalation in conflict. russia and the western world, in which case can just blame the russians waiting lists, are likely to come down because a massive record high of and a half million and now the nhs isn't just the national covid services. it was during lockdown and i agree with catherine picking up on that phrase take back control. keir starmer has got a problem in the red labour has got a problem in the red wall. a lot of red wall voters didn't like the way the labour party and particularly starmer when he was secretary of state for leaving the european union

not leaving the european union tried kind of lawyer his way out of the brexit vote. so by taking the rhetoric of the brexit camp take back as catherine said and turning it into a kind of post—brexit set of policies to be laid out at some time while also saying on the side which he is we are not going to reverse brexit. that's a very important thing that labour said he's trying to regain in the red wall. yes interesting stuff for both of you. thank you very much again, short and sweet. yes, again. it be a nice outfit. again. but it be a nice outfit. anyway, political anyway, he's our political reporter, on reporter, catherine foster on economics business editor economics and business editor liam reacting to keir liam halligan reacting to keir starmer has got his name is thomas bates earlier on today. let's get the thoughts . steven let's get the thoughts. steven coulson was it's been a long political commentator in manchester. is this just another level up pledge do you think didn't get a lot of sleep pay off ? well, i didn't get a lot of sleep pay off? well, i think labour's run out of and that's still all plagiarised from cameron and osborne often with this . i just

osborne often with this. i just think what starmer was saying was very flat , very little was very flat, very little detail in what he was saying. i think it's the desperate situation and i think that the way labour are , they feel as way labour are, they feel as though if they don't win the next election will never, ever get power again. so i think it's a very worrying time for that. yeah, i mean, i suppose as someone who comes from the kind of quote unquote red wall as well, i'm just not sure where either candidate goes down, particularly up there. particularly well up there. i mean , it like the northerners mean, it like the northerners are basically being stupid in a rock and a hard place with these two. well all people i speak to are still very at the fact that bofis are still very at the fact that boris johnson is not prime minister. after the country went to polls voted for boris to the polls and voted for boris and ended up with rishi and we've ended up with rishi who didn't was not elected by the membership. what's saying thatis the membership. what's saying that is a rock and a hard place. now he's to deliver on his speech yesterday was taking the five most important things for

nafion five most important things for nation with inflation , debt, the nation with inflation, debt, the economy and a waiting list and immigration and the big five things. if you look on social media, anything like that, the other things that people are going on about, at least his address, what the country are thinking and saying at the moment. sir keir starmer this morning reeled off load of morning just reeled off load of different and it all different lists and what it all of and continue of directions and continue contradicting themselves a couple times outside. okay we'll go on why why do you think he's going to do it himself. what stood out for you on the detail of keir starmer's maybe been sidelined the detail can you give you've got to make give us some you've got to make all changes without all these changes without spending great deal of and spending a great deal of and we've always seen labour's broke the bank every time they've governed. so on the support in the strikes really at the moment even though he's not supporting the strikes in many of his attempts they're out on picket lines and backing up the strike is how do you make all these people happy with no break in the bank once again. yeah we've

got to i wonder on that i wonder with our eye on khalid mahmood on his labour who actually said he would back a general strike. so i just wonder whether or not keir starmer, if he does get into government some point into government at some point the of years is the next couple of years is going to have backbench revolts over etc, over things, workers pay, etc, and be a bit of an issue and that be a bit of an issue for him . not too much when it for him. not too much when it comes to small boats as well, no. well i think it's a very peaked club, short memories and. this is the problem. it's a very dangerous think it will cost a lot of money for labour to govern as it always has in the past and if people forget how labour have opened in the past, it's going to be a very rocky road in the future for the next the next term. but at the end of the next term. but at the end of the day, we're still paying for things like the lockdowns with covid and things like that. i'm not a tremendous cost. so you've got to address these things. and for the unions now to take people out on after the after they were supported by the

government as well financially it's just a kick in the teeth for working people i wouldn't know whether or not people in the red wall as looking at it now going i don't particularly resonate with keir starmer. it doesn't much a human doesn't appear much of a human touch, similar stuff with touch, very similar stuff with rishi sunak. think it rishi sunak. i think maybe it fertile ground for a new policy, but the party but stephen what's the party line and pick it up line conversation and pick it up another point. stephen collinson was commentator and. was a political commentator and. manchester, with manchester, you're with me. patrick gb news. coming patrick christys gb news. coming up, of fat uk with up, the founder of fat uk with his on what it was like his thoughts on what it was like another push for eco highways because . sales of new cars have because. sales of new cars have sunk to the lowest level in three decades, but electric cars have overtaken diesel in their popularity charles popularity. charles i've got a lot of questions about electric , honest. we won't be , to be honest. we won't be putting them to the putting a lot of them to the leader of fair uk. there's also plans pipeline to reduce plans in the pipeline to reduce speed on all motorways so speed limits on all motorways so down from 70 to 64 miles an houn down from 70 to 64 miles an hour. he'd be lucky if he managed to get to 64 miles an hour on the motorways, he says. and a big debate this hour a big

debate was prince harry to go pubuc debate was prince harry to go public about his with his brother, prince william. i brother, prince william. and i will share views in the inbox very shortly. i want your sibling scraps. stories of absolute gold in the inbox, some of which i'm not allowed to broadcast. of course, gbviews@gbnews.uk .

welcome back, everybody. now plans to not only cut emissions on our roads, but also speed to slow down everyone for the sake of the ice caps. reports that the government could consider cutting speed limit on motorways from 70 miles an hour to 64 miles an hour. as they look to cut the and the uk's dependence on oil imports. well, the revelation has coincided with new figures released which show that electric cars for a fifth of all new car sales in the uk. now it represents a steady rise in the proportion of electric

vehicles being sold ahead of the government's of 2030, which mandates all new cars sold from that point onwards must be . that point onwards must be. critics, however, have numerous issues with the plan, including fact that the uk in the uk than 40,000 charging points actually exist. apparently they're saying it's not a realistic target. joining me now is howard cox founder afaf , your uk campaign. founder afaf, your uk campaign. howard, thank you very much. oh, people are being conned into buying electric car. people are being conned into buying electric car . absolutely. buying electric car. absolutely. i mean, it's a big let's be clear, electric vehicles , clear, electric vehicles, incredible pieces of technology. they really are incredible, but they're not practical they don't go as far that you this range anxiety the actually cradle to grave from from in terms of production process against the internal combustion engine there's not much difference in terms of the emissions. well is the key point. right. so the electric cars only really make sense save people money and sense if save people money and save planet. i think do either of those things. no, they do not. ridiculous it's all

not. it's ridiculous it's all virtual signalling. but yes. not. it's ridiculous it's all virtual signalling. but yes . and virtual signalling. but yes. and as far as i'm concerned, what i'm for. is that right? this because otherwise, like i'll say today, i'm but the thing today, kerry, i'm but the thing is, the whole reason i wrote the article in sun today was to article in the sun today was to point out we've got point out that we've only got six years before we are six or seven years before we are told, and we been told by the government it's a mandate, an edict. no, it's imagination yet. so that's why we're still fighting. it is that we cannot . fighting. it is that we cannot. a new diesel petrol car in 2030. and that's the issue. the reason we're working with the sun to actually some realisation that the 2030 ban is going to cost us a fortune. i recently commissioned the cbi report and the gurus who wrote an the economic gurus who wrote an article or produced a report which simply said that the actual benefits of the 2030 ban will cost five times to achieve. so it's to just the to each driver or just for the nation , driver or just for the nation, to the economy. but it means each driver for every household to 2050, then the net zero target is going to cost every

£1,000. i mean, it is shocking . £1,000. i mean, it is shocking. and also with energy costs going up , costs coming. one would have up, costs coming. one would have thought that actually, you know , when i go in full disclosure, do have a diesel where i when i go and fill up now makes my eyes water sometimes. but it's not just going to the same if i got an car. this is the an electric car. this is the point of actual cost of point of the actual cost of actually electric electricity . actually electric electricity. the charge especially in public charging, huge is not much charging, is huge is not much difference. and from your point of view and don't be ashamed to admit a diesel they admit you drive a diesel they are cars. don't like are superb cars. i don't like the it makes the euro six the noise it makes the euro six diesels are very clean if we're talking diesels of 15 to 20 years ago they were foul things. they were passing out a of they were passing out a lot of things were told to drive a things we were told to drive a diesel, remember. 2000. diesel, to remember. yes, 2000. and i swore i've headed this article . i think if things are article. i think if things are going to be the betamax of the future. yeah. but also it's how actually get some of the components electric vehicles and some to be child some of that appears to be child slave labour yeah. slave labour in africa. yeah. all of the rare earth metals like , cobalt and lithium do come

like, cobalt and lithium do come from countries that do exhibit that sort of mining but also is buying up every single mine in the world. yeah. so actually they will have control of all they will have control of all the supplies of lithium and kosovo and. this is the sort of thing that is not being taken on board by the government. all this is going to do is going to cost the economies are going to damage the economy halt and is the big thing we there is clean fuel evolving fuel technology evolving didn't need forced one need to be forced into one choice electric have we choice electric but why have we done this is it granted but it is definitely the green sped since green people in since the green people in whitehall, across whitehall, which i come across all time , i mean fundamental all the time, i mean fundamental we're up honest we're not getting up honest debate gb news. this debate except on gb news. this is the sort of thing we can talk on both sides of the argument. and the point electric and that's the point electric vehicles great things. vehicles are great things. they're the thing they're not practical. the thing is little bit is there is a little bit a little bit like mask wearing. i'm absolutely course , i'm absolutely fine. of course, am anyone who wants to wear am with anyone who wants to wear am with anyone who wants to wear a i'm fine with being told a mask. i'm fine with being told that mask. i am, of that we have to a mask. i am, of course, fine with. anyone who wants to drive an electric car or a or petrol, i don't

or a diesel or petrol, i don't like idea of told that like the idea of being told that i drive an car it i have to drive an car when it comes to slowing on motorways, they want to it from 70 they want to take it from 70 miles an hour to 64 miles an hourin miles an hour to 64 miles an hour in order to save polar bears . is hour in order to save polar bears. is that hour in order to save polar bears . is that realistic? well bears. is that realistic? well well, this is part of a full net zero report on a number of issues, energy supply. and one of them is actually slowing down on motorways by 10. we've heard this before. ridiculous. it doesn't say anything . there's no doesn't say anything. there's no proof. i'm calling for the data . show me that this will actually save polar. well, just on when you drive on that as well. when you drive around now , you see around cities now, you see things like congestion charges, you see things like cycle being introduced. does that not traffic down bottleneck ? i mean, traffic down bottleneck? i mean, there's more emissions. absolutely congestion causes more emissions and this is the paradox sort of thing. next week, i ask you , i a poll week, i ask you, i a poll results to show you about the ultra low emission zone expansion that we're having even to the greater london and what that means to businesses and restaurants and things like that. and i'm willing to come back it, but please do it

back on it, but please do it just very quietly and very as well. how do you get a lot of stick from warriors ? yes, stick from eco warriors? yes, i do. i have death threats. i've faces through the letterbox . faces through the letterbox. i've had all sorts of things that . but sorry. i'm that have. but i'm sorry. i'm i'm on the side of common sense . okay. or i want to make you feel i've of interest you. it does make my wife too happy. but i'm. i'm the more they do this, the more i to fight. okay. the more i want to fight. okay. well, you go. thank well, there you go. thank very much insightful as ever. much insightful stuff as ever. i was 60 very, very soon. founder of fat fuel uk campaign. you with me? patrick christys coming up, on those revelations up, more on those revelations from new as leaked from harry's new spare as leaked extracts . another allegation of extracts. another allegation of the of allegations against the raft of allegations against his brother, prince william and claims camilla leaked claims that camilla leaked stories to the press. oh, no, not camilla. but first is the latest headlines . patrick, thank latest headlines. patrick, thank you . good afternoon. it's just you. good afternoon. it's just gone 4:30. i'm bethany elsey in the gb newsroom. the labour leader has promised to take back control by devolving power from

london to communities across the country . that's if his party country. that's if his party comes to power. in his first speech of the new year sir keir starmer sets out his plans to grant local councils new control over employment support , over employment support, transport, energy and, housing. he also accused the minister of being in denial about problems facing the country he sought yesterday . the prime minister yesterday. the prime minister commentary without solution more promises, more platinum , no promises, more platinum, no ambition to take forward, no sense of what the country needs 13 years of nothing but sticking plaster politics. it's why every crisis britain harder than our competitors . the only country competitors. the only country the g7 still polled and it was before the pandemic the worst decade for growth two centuries separate a number of extra acts from prince harry's autobiography spare have been leaked ahead of its including accusation his brother attacked

him pages which were published in the guardian allege william grabbed harry by the collar ripping his necklace , knocking ripping his necklace, knocking him to the ground in 2019. harry says the argument regarding his marriage to meghan markle claims william called her difficult, rude and abrasive . buckingham rude and abrasive. buckingham palace has refused to comment on the reports and the government proposing new laws requiring service levels during sector strikes. the announcement comes amid a third consecutive day of rail disruption as drivers from 15 companies walk out with some areas having no trains running all aslef general secretary claims the laws could backfire , claims the laws could backfire, prompting workers to stage longer periods of industrial action . but business secretary action. but business secretary grant shapps says the new laws are necessary for , especially are necessary for, especially within the nhs. if, for example , you've got somebody who has a heart , maybe a stroke the idea heart, maybe a stroke the idea that there may not be an ambulance coming because there's

ambulance coming because there's a strike on, i think is unacceptable. we're not proposing to go the full hog of a parts of america, canada or australia. they have legislation which bans those blue lights entirely from going on strike . entirely from going on strike. we're not proposing that. i think it's very what we're suggesting . you're up to date on suggesting. you're up to date on tv online and dab+ radio . this tv online and dab+ radio. this is gb news. patrick will be back with you in just a moment.

well, welcome back. wonderful people . keir starmer has laid people. keir starmer has laid out his major plans for britain in his first big speech of the new year, outlining plans to take back control by developing new powers over to employment support, transport for energy, climate change, housing and local government. the labour leader also took aim rishi sunak's sticking plaster and

insisted that he offered real solutions to britain's problems. joining me now very pleased to say is the chair of the labour party, dodds mp analyst. thank you very much for joining us. great to have you on the show. one of the things that stood out for me was keir starmer's response to the action. so he's saying that he's not going back the tories. to the tories. he wants to basically the amount of strikes that you can take or the extent of the strikes. but at the same time have a blank time he doesn't have a blank cheque are just to end cheque so are just going to end up labour with the same up under labour with the same thing got which thing that we've got now, which is pay rises or continual is no new pay rises or continual strikes . well, first of all, strikes. well, first of all, happy new year and it's really lovely to be here and happy new year to all of your viewers. well, no, because we know actually what prevents industrial action . we know it industrial action. we know it from those years of labour between 1997 and 2010 when there wasn't a single strike in the. we know from labour in wales where we're not the level of strike action that we're seeing

in england. what prevent strikes is ultimately having both employers and workers setting down and negotiating deal. that's what stops the industrial action. of course, some people engagein action. of course, some people engage in industrial action . it engage in industrial action. it results in them losing a day's pay- results in them losing a day's pay. so it's a last resort . it's pay. so it's a last resort. it's not engaged in ultimate lightly and sadly seen appalling failures from the conservatives. they've been unwilling to actually sit down to get those negotiations going. and as a result , seeing that very negotiations going. and as a result, seeing that very high level of action is higher in our country than in many other nafions. country than in many other nations . and i do not see that nations. and i do not see that logic that you guys want to be elected. you guys want to be like to the earliest possible. you did mention wales there i just google nhs wales man carries grandad into hospital amid ambulance shortages the first headline so i'm not entirely sure i be wales is entirely sure i will be wales is the pinnacle of labour run nhs treatment, but what labour going

to do to make sure that we don't have ambulance going on strike, nurses going out on strike trains costing our sector one and a half billion pounds a month with strike action ? well, month with strike action? well, there hasn't been that strike action. as i said , labour action. as i said, labour government nor indeed those which are in control and wales. there is that big difference because actually we sat down with employers and with workers and, we got an agreement. now that means both sides ultimately have got to compromise. that's what a negotiator in is. but we're seeing ultimately the conservative government just running a waste of this. you know, they're running away from their response. and as i said , their response. and as i said, their response. and as i said, the box for this ultimately sits with government every analysis of these new measures they've just announced said that they lead to more strikes, not fewer strikes deeply irresponsible. i get that you're . not going to be get that you're. not going to be moved on that essentially you're

response to the strike action will be to i suppose have nice and negotiations essentially which. okay all right energy bills now these big thing for a lot of people they're to i do acknowledge as i'm going to jump in there because it's about having any negotiations and the government is to do that in cases it's not about being nice it's about being pragmatic , it's about being pragmatic, getting the best for our country . and that's what labour would do. so sorry to you, but i saw i people all the time. don't get me wrong. fine now energy bills. i'm keen ask you on this actually about people's energy bills. it got to the roof. it said if people are struggling to pay said if people are struggling to pay now i did read with some interest. i think it was a tweet that you put out. not so long ago. how is it that the cost at the moment demonstrates structure racism? could you expand bit, expand on that little bit, please? because wasn't please? because look, wasn't asked my skin was asked what colour my skin was when i took out my bills and my energy company, you i was energy company, you know, i was quite about that. no. energy company, you know, i was quiobviously about that. no. energy company, you know, i was quiobviously energyt that. no. energy company, you know, i was quiobviously energy costs. no. energy company, you know, i was quiobviously energy costs and so obviously energy costs and their rise being felt by

everybody they're being felt intensely . that's why labour set intensely. that's why labour set out to help tackle those energy costs. why we want to see a really strong windfall tax , not really strong windfall tax, not the weak one full of loopholes. but the conservative have introduced. so we want to see measures to support everybody . measures to support everybody. and what i was seeing when it comes for example to the impact on black families. we've also seen impact on single parent is that when you have a lower income to start off with on average when you lower savings. yeah to start on average when rise of course will be an even bigger impact on you . this bigger impact on you. this crisis is heading everybody right now . i just i've just got right now. i just i've just got to you did you did we did appear to you did you did we did appear to propose a bit of a solution to propose a bit of a solution to it which was labour's race act but i can't seem find anything about your race equality act and i just don't understand how it would work. i mean when it comes to things like energy bills, for example as structural as you

as much structural racism as you see it with energy would see it with energy bills. would that off that mean taking money off certain of people giving certain groups of people giving it another group of it over to another group of people? well, no, and i'm really happy to . explain to you how happy to. explain to you how labour's measures would be deaung labour's measures would be dealing with some those differences in income in particular. so it's not about some kind of difference in price. obviously oil prices impact on in the same way. that's pretty obvious. we've just been talking about. but the real difference in average income , again, some people income, again, some people having a slightly higher income than others but on average we've seen that black families incomes tend to be lower as i said also single parent families incomes tend to be lower as a result of that we would take action to raise equality. we would , for raise equality. we would, for example, saying that if people are doing exactly same job, then should be possible for to see whether a worker who happens to be black is being paid less than a worker who happens to be

white. we've had that system in place for men and, women for a number of years . we have now the number of years. we have now the cbi saying that there should be transparency around this. you see the ones that measure to face up to that income difference . i think most people difference. i think most people would agree that the implication, but the implication now or the assumption there is and this is one of the things that labour does cop for a lot from people which is relentless focus on things like identity politics and race issues where potentially race issues not exist. now the idea that the lower end of the economic spectrum may be is overpopulated is you could say maybe with ethnic minorities as opposed to know you could quote unquote indigenous population, i'm quoting people who are quoting there for people who are listening be on that is listening to be on radio that is one thing but it's not necessarily due to racism. i mean, do you honestly believe that country, black that in this country, black people paid less their people are paid less by their employers employers ? look, we employers employers? look, we need tough policy. that's based on evidence here . that's what's on evidence here. that's what's really, really what is the

evidence ? if you look on average evidence? if you look on average , as i said, black farmers incomes compared , people are not incomes compared, people are not black. if you look at average incomes for single parents , they incomes for single parents, they are lower than those for families that ultimately run by single parents, that's reality. that's what the data shows us. but it's not racism . say that but it's not racism. say that it's true. if i can just finish through those pragmatic measures , really simple ones , like, as , really simple ones, like, as i say, enabling people to whether for the same work they're paid the same amount or a different amount of money in way you can achieve change. i like if it emerges , if it emerges, if it emerges, if it emerges, if it emerges, if it emerges, if it emerges that employers are not discriminating against their employees based on their skin colour. then actually you got a solution to the energy crisis , solution to the energy crisis, you all to fixing quote unquote structural racism because structural racism because structural racism because structural racism doesn't exist . i'm sorry. i think there's a lot of confusion, john, in what you just said there. if i could respectfully say that labour has

set out measures a number of times around energy crisis. as i said, that's we've called for a proper tax without the loopholes of the government's approach. so we really could be supporting people around their energy bills, applying to everybody . bills, applying to everybody. now, we've called on government to do that time and again. unfortunately they implemented is not the strong system that we wanted to see to use profits from the oil gas companies to get people's bills down. so labour does have those solutions. we will have an evidence based approach and as i said, it comes to workplace issues . we want to see that issues. we want to see that transparency and it's not just labour saying that it is the cbi and the to use this. well, these are just another quick point. just point. excuse just another quick point. excuse me it comes to these race me when it comes to these race equality acts, one of the other things that i could see that was about you wanting to, quote, diversify the curriculum, what does that mean ? well, i think does that mean? well, i think ultimately we've seen a lot of discussion , debate around

discussion, debate around curricula in different schools. you know , we have a situation you know, we have a situation right now where. we have quite a variety of different approaches there's been a lot of work that has gone into this. now, if you look for example, under labour , look for example, under labour, all of the work that was undertaken , make sure that undertaken, make sure that children really are fit for the future . and keir starmer has future. and keir starmer has said that he wants to make sure when children leave school that they're fit for the future, that they're fit for the future, that they're work ready , that means they're work ready, that means having the right curricula , one having the right curricula, one that's actually suited to their needs and sitting to that their needs, whatever the background is, whatever that future may be. that's why labour says this is not to be divisive sorry. it's just to just. but is this not quite divisive stuff? the idea that a black child born in the same town , any ethnic minority same town, any ethnic minority child born in the same as me with the same upbringing as me might have different educational . i mean, you may be place to be trying to pigeonhole people like this is it not identifying

racial differences and doing more to drive us apart and bring us together is highlighting, isn't quite the opposite and isn't it quite the opposite and actually i find , you know, i actually i find, you know, i have children myself for school without going into too much detail that what i find from them is that children are naturally curious. they want to understand about the differences among us on similarities. you know, that's something that's so wonderful about younger years , i wonderful about younger years, i actually think giving everyone tools that they need to be ready for the future is something that we should be promoting, that we should be ultimately celebrating . i don't see any kind of problem with that. in fact, i would view it as a strength. okay, one last quick one. sorry i just want to talk to you about this tape control thing. i know is this is this top trawling by the labour party. so we all know what take back control was supposed to be. it was a big brexit. keir starmer of course, and ardent remain decent. this is the right slogan for labour

to win back that red. well, the problem is of course, it's just been a slogan , so it hasn't been been a slogan, so it hasn't been a solution under the conservatives . now it's just conservatives. now it's just been a catch phrase for , the been a catch phrase for, the conservatives it hasn't delivered real change. labour's is very different. we've said we've really be giving control to in their local communities , to in their local communities, set out very clear ways would do that in areas like transport, like employment support, like childcare, like facing up to environmental challenges . we environmental challenges. we would be giving people that control. i'm afraid the concerns , it just talks about it. they haven't delivered it. there would be a big difference under labour allies. thank you very much. and you for your time as well. but in an extended interview they also do appreciate it does chair appreciate it louise does chair of party. what do you of the labour party. what do you make all these gentlemen gbviews@gbnews.uk we covered a few anybody few bits and bobs that anybody strikes bills, race strikes energy bills, race equality talking about equality acts. i'm talking about control, suppose get control, devolution. suppose get your views your views coming in gb views gbnews.uk. now, despite the huge

operation to prevent the memoir being this is but we're back to harry now both guardian on the sun managed to obtain copies the book also accidentally went on sale spain with sale early on in spain with lucky customer managing to grab to editions. the upcoming autobiography details an alleged fight which his older fight in which his older brother, future british brother, the future british prince william , pushed him to prince william, pushed him to the floor. that's according to guardian. in another section, the sussex tells the the duke of sussex tells the king queen relationship and king and queen relationship and he and his brother begs not to marry camilla. but he and his brother begs not to marry camilla . but is it all marry camilla. but is it all getting of hand? was he right to go public? to break this down further, i am joined by royal broadcaster helena, charlotte and reality star and commentator nannder. and reality star and commentator narinder . fantastic stuff both narinder. fantastic stuff both of you write . okay, helena, i of you write. okay, helena, i will start with you. difficult to know exactly where to start . to know exactly where to start. this prince harry stuff . i mean, this prince harry stuff. i mean, do you have any more sympathy for him that william slapped for him now that william slapped him a bit ? i for him now that william slapped him a bit? i didn't hear him around a bit? i didn't hear your beginning bit. i think it was mixed. you know , i've got to was mixed. you know, i've got to say, this just unravelling

say, this is just unravelling like reality tv show . what like a reality tv show. what i would say, it's unbelievable . would say, it's unbelievable. so. yes, okay . it's alleged that so. yes, okay. it's alleged that they were fisticuffs going on. doesn't this in families, it happens the time it's something thatis happens the time it's something that is absolute inevitable. but do you go out , that is absolute inevitable. but do you go out, air your dirty laundry in public ? no, you laundry in public? no, you don't. i feel like the royal family with dignified silence, absolute play. there are things that really don't make sense. it's absurd. and i cannot believe the things that harry is coming outwith, it's just something that to be spoken amongst the family. narinder great. i'll be back on the show . right. you're more than i am now. in disbelief these days, but i believe got you've got you've got kids i think of it want me neighbours knock each other about a little bit every now again. actually by now and again. yes actually by daughter and son he said the she scratched his head but i just agree with thomas so much this

this decline as we call him that the british stepped up and the royal family digging for it's not dignified it's toxic harry is telling it's toxic and actually william if you will, saying, oh, we all other and worse kids, we can each of that you are enabling physical violence that's disgusting . violence that's disgusting. you're enablers. how can you prince william attacking his brother . prince william attacking his brother. he's a bully. william meghan may be rude. meghan do you think we miss coming across as a bully who attacks his brother? it's disgusting . it's brother? it's disgusting. it's toxic . or as a brother? it's disgusting. it's toxic. or as a couple of brother? it's disgusting. it's toxic . or as a couple of the toxic. or as a couple of the other revelations course as well. how is that? suppose lay william and kate planted the seed of thought in harry's mind that he should wear a uniform complete with swastika on button to fancy dress party. i mean some would say this a bit thick to actually wear it helena you know first i have to say that i think it's a bit ignorant to

sort of state a one sided story we cannot just go out , sort of state a one sided story we cannot just go out, you sort of state a one sided story we cannot just go out , you know, we cannot just go out, you know, cull somebody as your guest has just done , i just feel, you know just done, i just feel, you know , harry has to take responsibility . harry wore the responsibility. harry wore the outfit whether a allegedly william and kate had anything to do with that that that's to see but you know you can't always be passing the bar you know he has to take responsibility and all i see at the moment is envy and some kind of revenge and don't understand it. yeah to be fair as well pretty impulsive which at this point buckingham palace kensington palace, as it currently stands, are refusing to comment it. so it is very much a one sided story. we don't know or william know whether or not. william denies that stuff. we can denies all of that stuff. we can only go inside that story, patrick, because has patrick, because william has betrayed these betrayed harry. he plans these stories. through stories. he goes through sources. so let's stop line of oh, a one sided story. william has done enough damage. he's

given these stories. he's secretly giving his lines to the palace aides and he's damage harry. that's not a i get that but i don't know whether you've got brothers or sisters but i think he is right. is it really to come out and slam them in pubuc to come out and slam them in public like that ? he suits out public like that? he suits out behind closed doors and don't you it's a bit low rent. it's a bit cheap i think that my brothers or sisters went public .theni brothers or sisters went public . then i would also have to go pubuc. . then i would also have to go public . but . then i would also have to go public. but what are you saying? this is his duty. as we were making our debate, he's saying won't it because . we won't talk about it because. we need to talk about the toxic. do you want from me? away the you want from me? take away the royal they just changed you want from me? take away the royal and they just changed you want from me? take away the royal and they hey just changed you want from me? take away the royal and they stopped changed you want from me? take away the royal and they stopped the1ged them and they stopped the childhood trauma and had a childhood trauma and they had a dreadful back . you had an dreadful fall back. you had an affair with it? would you? what is the against that? looking back ? it's disgusting. want them back? it's disgusting. want them to through and chose to have been through and chose to have been through and chose to pay child has been with to not pay child has been with the silent harry desperately wants them back all right now sorry i've got to just to

patrick well, we're to on yet more revelations in prince harry's book. he's looking like an increasingly read, by the way. anyway in the latest trailer for the duke of sussex upcoming on tv interview, it's not clear whether harry will be attending father's coronation in may . he father's coronation in may. he did say, however, that still believes in the monarchy, but when asked if he would play an active role in its future, he replied, i don't know. he's been speaking release of speaking out of the release of his memoir spare where he takes aim at his brother. the prince of wales talks, about camilla leaking and leaking stories to the press and admits cocaine . let's admits taking cocaine. let's have a little look at that trailer of release of the trailer of the release of the itv . i trailer of the release of the itv. i don't trailer of the release of the itv . i don't know how staying itv. i don't know how staying silent is ever going to make things better. wouldn't your brother say to you, harry, how you do this to me after everything after everything we

went through? wouldn't that be what you would say? probably what you would say? he probably all sorts different things. all sorts of different things. right. basically right. okay. so basically this book course, actually book, of course, has actually made its way out there, it would appear certainly in spain at least, that of least, which means that a lot of people are advised to get a copy of it in spain translated into engush of it in spain translated into english things are being english and things are being drip there drip fed through to us. there are revelations in thick are revelations coming in thick and some of which regret and fast, some of which i regret to inform are not fit for to inform you are not fit for broadcast at time of day. broadcast at this time of day. royal correspondent catherine walker to pick through walker is here to pick through this. going maybe this. what's going on and maybe have at our websites. if have a look at our websites. if you the story we you want to see the story we were referring to. but we do have details about prince have more details about prince harry's of harry's second tour of afghanistan, claims he afghanistan, where he claims he killed 25 fighters , as killed 25 taliban fighters, as he said, under vatican , you he said, under vatican, you often fire indiscriminately . often fire indiscriminately. however, in the age of apaches and, laptops, everything i did in the course of the two tours of duty was recorded and timestamps. i could always tell exactly how many enemy combatant i had killed, and it seemed essential for me not to be afraid of that figure. he does on gb news does not have a copy

of the book. this is only coming through leaks to various from various media organisations who have managed to get hold of a spanish copy of the book which to me was quite surprising because we've been told last couple of days that spare has had such tight security it spare the name of prince memoir is had such tight to the point where it is likened to that of the final harry potter being released back in two thousand and seven under lock and key having trackers on the trucks which are transporting its various bookshops. but it looks like a couple of bookshops, least in couple of bookshops, at least in spain not get the memo. yes spain did not get the memo. yes okay. so taliban side of okay. so the taliban side of things, his second tour of afghanistan, he claims to have killed around 25 taliban fighters . the other revelation , fighters. the other revelation, i suppose, was about him taking cocaine. yes he has admitted to taking cocaine again when he was 17 years old. there has been rumours which prince harry is perhaps speaking about in the

past, his past trauma, trying to deal and come to terms with the death of his diana princess of wales and fallout of that . but wales and fallout of that. but clearly prince harry absolutely happy to go into such graphic detail as he appears to be in this book in memoir spare. another i'd just like to point out talking about trauma with princess diana, he actually into detail of how he found about his mother's death. diana, princess of wales. he, of course, is on with the late queen and his father at balmoral castle . and father at balmoral castle. and on that day in august 1997, he was woken he says he was woken by prince charles and prince charles sat on the end of his bed, put his hand on his and says this is a quote from prince, from prince harry of what prince charles said. he says, my dear son, mum has had a car accident there , have been car accident there, have been complications. mum has been injured and has been taken hospital, my dear son. then, of course, princess went on to die in that hospital from the

injuries she sustained in that car in paris. and of prince harry's criticisms, if the of the brief of the leaking, which are to be believed, this is what prince harry actually says was that the then prince charles did not hug his youngest son following telling him that his mother had died. yes a bit grim, isn't it? it is. mother had died. yes a bit grim, isn't it? it is . it is slightly isn't it? it is. it is slightly grim. i think he's he's painting the narrative , i think the narrative, i think throughout this book, perhaps obviously, i have not read the full back one here at gb news has . i mean, full back one here at gb news has. i mean, this is certainly coming from reports so well early on, as well, it is important to say, as things currently standing at buckingham palace , kensington is that palace, kensington is such that they're not they're not commenting on this. it is very much a one sided report coming from as understand it, from leaks, as we understand it, is relatively stuff. this is what prince saying in what prince harry is saying in his be a little bit come in his just be a little bit come in about do you think about coronation. do you think you'll coming to the so. no. you'll be coming to the so. no. yes. listening view yes. so listening view he did with tom bradby icb. it's one of the three promotional interviews

he has done . the public ahead of he has done. the public ahead of his publication of his memoir. and tom bradby asked him he be going to the coronation . prince going to the coronation. prince harry says, i know. i think clearly there are some issues that he feels he needs to work out with . the working members of outwith. the working members of the royal family king, his brother, william . but he brother, prince william. but he said in a separate trailer to the itv interview that he wants his brother back . he wants his his brother back. he wants his father back . but then talking father back. but then talking about all these private conversations, he's with his brother or father in this memoir, accusing the palace , memoir, accusing the palace, leaking stories to the press to paint . and meghan, as a victim , paint. and meghan, as a victim, villains even to make other members of the royal family look good.the members of the royal family look good. the two can't really go handin good. the two can't really go hand in hand. think if many people are making this argument. yeah, look, is yeah, absolutely. look, it is fascinating gripping fascinating. it is gripping stuff and. there will be ups and downs. it does sound an absolute rollercoaster of a book from what to glean from what we've managed to glean from so far. but come and thank you very much, cameron that our

royal correspondent there. royal correspondent right there. moving on the labour leader moving on to the labour leader sir starmer has give sir keir starmer has to give fresh local take it fresh powers to local take it away from westminster . fresh powers to local take it away from westminster. he made his first speech of the year pledging that his party will take back control of politics. also said general election also said a general election should be called straight away to allow the public to have their say 13 years, as he their say over 13 years, as he calls it, tory fairly well in the last hour. i caught up labour party chair anneliese dodds and when questioned on the cost of crises in particular energy bills. this is what had to say. we're set out measures to say. we're set out measures to tackle those energy costs. why we want to see a really strong tax, not the weak one full of loopholes that the conservatives have introduced . conservatives have introduced. we want to see measures to support everybody and what i'm seeing when it comes, for example, to the impact on black families, we've also seen the impact on single parent families is that when you have a lower to start off with, i'll average when you have lower saving to

start with on when prices rise . start with on when prices rise. of course there will be an even bigger impact on you. but this crisis is hitting everybody right now. that's why labour's measures . will yeah, i did ask measures. will yeah, i did ask her. she could see a full copy that she putting online. so i did ask her there about the fact that essentially energy bills and the rising cost of energy bills was linked to structural racism, life policy. i was racism, but life policy. i was quite keen to delve into that. she said that the race equality act would it. we don't yet act would solve it. we don't yet know on earth labour's race know what on earth labour's race equality but equality act really is, but gathering two is with gathering force two is with us in the right now. gb news in the studio right now. gb news is political reporter is very own political reporter catherine, much. catherine, you very, very much. keir starmer taking back control. i think it is top trawling i think it's good trawling i think it's a good because was because obviously that was coined by brexiteers about dominic cummings i believe was wasn't taking back wasn't it. but this taking back control actually is not a reference to what the labour party do want party wants. do they want to kind of give control back kind of almost give control back to they give to local areas? they give control back, give control back to people . doesn't quite to the people. doesn't quite roll off the tongue. from

roll off the tongue. i'm from west minster so the brexit vote obviously take back control. west minster so the brexit vote obvicwas take back control. west minster so the brexit vote obvicwas take bpowerful)l. west minster so the brexit vote obvicwas take bpowerful slogan, that was a very powerful slogan, wasn't it? that helped to get that vote across the line take back control from the eu, but also take back from sort also take back control from sort remote elites. people thought they knew what was good for you, but maybe actually what you needed and local communities, local people have a better idea of that. and the arts remain . a of that. and the arts remain. a keir starmer who campaigned for remain and who wanted to have a second referendum on the eu is now saying that although he campaigned for remain going around the country. he completely got the reasons behind the vote and they are into this need to decentralise power that westminster is fundamentally well and calls for a general election right away . a general election right away. let the public a verdict on where we are . i mean, it's not where we are. i mean, it's not going to happen, is it? but i suppose it's an interesting idea. not to happen, because why rishi sunak 20 points behind in the polls do that but labour

have got a bit of a luxury with haven't they yesterday saw rishi sunakin haven't they yesterday saw rishi sunak in the same place making a speech but very different obviously he's trying . they've obviously he's trying. they've been 13 years in power but he's saying is what we're going to do now . and some specifics . whereas now. and some specifics. whereas labour's was a more general sort of broad strokes speech , setting of broad strokes speech, setting out a vision fairly thin on detail but saying, you know there's this great potential the country and we need to unlock and we are going to set talked about national missions they're going to announce in the coming so lots fleshed out lots to be fleshed out i don't think look i'll just say i think the big losers in of this are the british public from what we saw yesterday from seen from what we've seen today from quest as well. no a huge amount of detail, i would argue. but look, catherine thank you very much, catherine thank you very much, catherine foster . that gives is

catherine foster. that gives is political that well so here the british public being the big losers i hope i don't see people don't get offended by that i'm sure they are not indeed big losers. let's some more of you on the show. joining me now to give their reactions is thomas page issues. there we got brian in solihull alan in grimsby. in solihull and alan in grimsby. good guys. right. good stuff, guys. right. look, bnan i good stuff, guys. right. look, brian i start with you, brian, i will start with you, if that's right we rishi that's all right we had rishi sunak yesterday. five point sunak yesterday. it's five point plan you condensed three plan that you condensed three points we've kids . points and we've got kids. thomas today in front of thomas today stood in front of what like trunk former what looked like a trunk former somewhere london talking somewhere in london talking about he may about vague things he may or may do future. who won that do in the future. who won that battle of view ? well, he battle of border view? well, he was he was stood in front of a transformer and speaking like a dalek . i've transformer and speaking like a dalek. i've read one and covered it. i suggest that with the breakdown in the in acoustic shall we say. but yeah. no, listen, i don't disagree with you with a lot of what you're what you're saying patrick, i'm not sure, sure that that we're heanng not sure, sure that that we're hearing messages from from anyone really that that that are

going to transform people's lives in a and a real way, in a meaningful way. i do think, though, that what he came out with today keir starmer i think it does resonate a little bit because the whole failure, i think of the whole brexit message and it was, you know, okay the country voted for it but it was it, was quite a wafer thin and kind of, you know, one side and the other. so i think i think i think i think the fact of taking back control what we missed in terms of all of that was, well, what's the substance behind so at least this is going to do here is has put some substance into that. well this is it and this is the irony there is that he is trying to make the point that the slogan back control was just a slogan and potentially in view, given what you just heard there , he's what you just heard there, he's still using it just a slogan. so, you know, again no real witness that alan in grimsby i will lob it your way now what stood out for you from caister

was speech and a thing also certainly nothing like the case of the emperor's new clothes , of the emperor's new clothes, isn't it? let's take something that's already been talked about . let's turn levelling up to take back control of local on very little else. i saw that. okay i think the problem with starmer and the labour party is that they're completely untrustworthy . what they say no untrustworthy. what they say no , he's trying to position himself as he a centre left politician , bit like new labour, politician, bit like new labour, the hope of capturing everybody into the next vote. but we all know that the boss of the labour party is a really strong left wing. well is it? whatever he tells us isn't what's going to happen. i mean, that's the problem with starmer is that he'll tell you one thing and be completely opposite. well, the key difference keir starmer, new labour's new labour are tony blair and for a period of time anyway i think people thought tony blair was cool. they

tony blair was quite cool. they don't really look at keir starmer, think good grief, you're think know you're cold. i think you know we've got strong dad energy doesn't really ? which is not doesn't it really? which is not necessarily coolest in necessarily the coolest thing in the world. and i just want to ask you the question, trust, but i'm going to ask you the same question i thing. but question on this i thing. but brian, throw it way. brian, i'll throw it your way. trust is an issue alan was highlighting who highlighting it that who you trust rishi sunak or keir trust more rishi sunak or keir starmer . trust more rishi sunak or keir starmer. it's interesting starmer. it's very interesting because i think you know people are are pretty polarised think maybe at this point in terms of our politics over the last several years and in terms of trust in one side or the other, do you know what? i don't think there's anyone who's really earned our trust. but but but the thing is we do know and i respect what oliver said in relation to labour i respectfully disagree because the evidence is this we cannot trust the tory government. we know that i would suggest that we don't know whether we can trust wholly what starmer are ,

trust wholly what starmer are, but let us see in terms of what they then. well i guess i one do and that leads me nicely onto a slightly different question i'm going to ask out to now, which is that i can understand why people after period people think after this period of that i've had of time alan that i've had enough of the tories got that fatigue, this stuff i can fatigue, all of this stuff i can also understand you don't also understand why you don't know can trust but know if you can trust labour but we previous labour we have had previous labour governments. alan, would you be the for a new party for the market for a new party for reform or similar ? well think we reform or similar? well think we need something that takes us away from what's become just like a revolt door. it really wouldn't matter whether we ever got into power next time or the conservatives stayed in power. i don't see very actually changing because you also said in your show you couldn't put a cigarette paper between them. and i think one's as bad as the other for want of a better word , there's the possibility of a new party coming up to see reform or picking up some of the

momentum of the end of the day. but is there are the two parties seem to have any true vision for what this country can be ? it's what this country can be? it's always been down the river by the labour others. it's with the conservative party . they seem to conservative party. they seem to have given up on them any kind of future whatsoever in there's a possibility that it was fertile ground for somebody else. yeah look both you, thank you very much really insightful from and it's great to just get people who've got their fingers on the pulse of and different parts of the country and what you and see what you you make of it and see what you made of starmer what you made of starmer and what you make of see now because well really appreciate both really appreciate you both coming to you coming on i'll talk to you again. no doubt. we've got gb news brian is news viewers that brian is solihull grimsby. now solihull island and grimsby. now i bofis solihull island and grimsby. now i boris johnson, the i get that boris johnson, by the way, flawed and i'm way, was deeply flawed and i'm not saying think he not kind of saying i think he was the oracle and all this stuff, but know what i at least he cut out a bit of optimism about quite a of time about for quite a period of time at minute just seems an at the minute just seems an unrelenting we've unrelenting misery, oh, we've got these problems. got all these problems. where's the big, bold vision for

britain? and me it feels, britain? and for me it feels, though both leaders our though both leaders of our mainstream parties at mainstream political parties at the willing, the moment are just willing, roll over accept britain in roll over and accept britain in decline and i find that offensive with offensive anyway, you're with me. on gb news me. patrick christys on gb news coming we're on a highway to coming up. we're on a highway to a greener apparently sales of new to the lowest new have sunk to the lowest level but level in three decades, but electric cars overtaken electric cars have overtaken diesel popularity charts diesel in the popularity charts . but this is the big one for me. there's also a plunge, the pipelines reduce speed limits pipelines to reduce speed limits on motorways. to on all motorways. i'm going to discuss that next. i will discuss all of that next. i will see you in a sec sec .

okay, people, welcome back. now new car sales have fallen to their lowest level since 1992, around 1.6 million new cars were registered during 2022. that's according to data from the society of motor manufacturers and traders that was released today. so that's 2% down on

2021, a more than 20% below pre coronavirus levels. joining me now because there's quite a lot to unpack here actually is our economic and business editor. it's liam halligan with all the . mon it's liam halligan with all the. mon patrick lockdown that's new car sales have been very very slow dunng sales have been very very slow during 2021 we had a lot of the world economy shuttered 2020 and into 2021. that meant even though i was there was a lot of pent up demand , new cars, a lot pent up demand, new cars, a lot of those new cars weren't delivered a record low number of new cars is registered , as you new cars is registered, as you said, the lowest for 30 years. but the good news that if you take. 2021 as a whole. yes new car registrations were below 2020. but if you take 2021 new car registrations were 18% higher than in december 2020

because as the year went last yean because as the year went last year, those new car accelerated from a low at the beginning of last year. so that means the trend is very much up even the headune trend is very much up even the headline figure here is bad for new car registrations and the 70 who you mentioned as a society of most amount factories and trade is the industry body that put out these numbers today i suppose their ceo, mike hawes . suppose their ceo, mike hawes. and he's actually really about new car sales in 2023. this is what he said , 2023. we're what he said, 2023. we're actually forecasting an uplift, maybe 50. so we're going to look counter cyclical . yes, the counter cyclical. yes, the economic challenges everyone faces are severe . most people faces are severe. most people buy a new car on a formal finance which fixed in a cost for three or four years. and if the cost of running new vehicle is cheaper , the one you already is cheaper, the one you already own, it can be to a household income . yeah, but what about the income. yeah, but what about the kind of type of cars, liam, that were bought? is there a change?

well, lots of gb news used in listeners will know that, you know , the talk down the pub know, the talk down the pub these i'll look a hybrid. these days. i'll look a hybrid. oh, i got an tv. who you don't want to get a diesel mate? because diesel's a lot more diesel. got diesel. yeah, diesel. so i got diesel. yeah, i got diesels actually. got three diesels actually. anyway competition anyway that's right. competition by family . yeah, we're by big family. yeah, we're competing . how stupid we were. competing. how stupid we were. yes, exactly . given the gordon yes, exactly. given the gordon brown told us all. but diesel that'd be great. anyway that's story. so what's is there is a big shift going on away from diesel towards electric vehicles. here's some of the numbers again from the smmt a published this morning. petrol cars, they were 55.9% of all car sales , car sales in 2022. so sales, car sales in 2022. so more than half. but look at diesel patrick, less than 10, just 9.6. just a few years ago, diesel was half of all cars, vans and trucks that were bought the uk . after 2015 you had that the uk. after 2015 you had that volkswagen emissions scandal diesel is seen as a lot less

environmentally friendly cost that these went up a lot and look electric vehicles coming through 6.6% of pure electric vehicles were sold vehicles in 2020 were electric so diesel for the first time in history then you've got your hybrids these cars with petrol diesel engines they were 11.6, but they've got a battery in there as well. and the engine , the battery and then the engine, the battery and then you switch the battery switched back to petrol , diesel. so these back to petrol, diesel. so these are so hybrid cars, they give you a bit more range. but all in all, it's a really big change. the first time that we've seen diesel below petrol, electric vehicles and we're going to see a lot more of course because the law as it stands is that the uk will ban sales of new and diesel cars by 2030. are people going to clobbered though because you know, we're seeing things like you last we've seen congestion charge the london emission

charge the london emission charge yeah i'm birmingham well because i've got two tickets in birmingham one of the way in and one of the way out was in may last but anyway thank you funky birmingham and but when it went let's say everyone goes to electric to end up electric i'm going to end up ramping taxes things like ramping up taxes things like that, they're going find that, and they're going to find a and people are just a new charge and people are just going getting going to end up getting clobbered. it's not your money saved to electric it. i don't know. i actually, mean, i'm on know. i actually, i mean, i'm on the record a lot saying i think that in terms of technology electric because you electric is a blind because you still to generate still need to generate the electric city. right. and a lot of that electricity is still generated from fossil fuels. it's as if they're it's not even as if they're necessarily . electric cars necessarily green. electric cars use five times more copper. patrick than conventional combustion combustion engines. copper going to go to the moon. it's going to become the oil in terms of the price, copper, all those rare earths , those those rare earths, those batteries and electric cars . batteries and electric cars. cobau batteries and electric cars. cobalt lithium. and so many of which tend to be disproportionately in countries that don't particularly like us, like china and elsewhere. so i

think the best technology for cars is hydrogen going forward . cars is hydrogen going forward. now that might be an unfashionable view, but i think among a lot of scientific people, that is the conventional wisdom. but we'll have to see a huge amount of change going on. i think what is good about these figures you've the cmc and others saying there more others saying there will be more new sales this year. i don't new car sales this year. i don't think used cars which have gone pnces think used cars which have gone prices very high in over last year or two. i don't think they're going to come down in price particularly, but at least we will be selling more cars of whatever hue petrol , diesel, whatever hue petrol, diesel, electric and a lot of those cars made in britain. we are still a major car maker. people talk what down but that's good for jobs. what down but that's good for jobs . lovely stuff, liam jobs. lovely stuff, liam halligan. thank much. halligan. thank you very much. our economics business our economics and business edhon our economics and business editor, with me, editor, right? you're with me, patrick christys gb news. coming up, reaction as prince up, more reaction as prince harry justifies speaking out against the royal family. i don't how staying silent is don't know how staying silent is ever going to make things better . wouldn't your brother say to you, harry how could you do this to me everything ,

minister. common tree without solution . more promises, more solution. more promises, more platitudes words, no ambition to take us forward. no sense of what the country needs. 13 years of nothing but sticking plaster politics. it's why every crisis hits britain than our competitors . the only country competitors. the only country the g7 , still poorer than it was the g7, still poorer than it was before the pandemic . the worst before the pandemic. the worst for growth in two century. 7 million a waiting lists and rising a number of extra facts from prince harry's autobiography spare have been leaked ahead of its publication, including an accusation his brother attacked him. pages which were published in the guardian allege grabbed harry by the collar , ripping his necklace the collar, ripping his necklace and knocking him to the ground in 2019. harry says the argument was regarding his marriage to meghan markle and william called her difficult rude and abrasive . buckingham palace has refused

believe ingrid seward joins me. i believe to talk about whether or not the royals are at war. there we go. good right. joining me now is royal commentator and biographer seward biographer ingrid seward and entertainment correspondent and writer. great writer. rebecca, it's great to have the show. have you both on the show. there's a lot of there's been a lot of revelations since we first wrote that little intro , including that little intro, including drug including many drug use, including how many members the taliban may or members of the taliban may or may not have killed ingrid. i will start you. this looks will start with you. this looks like turner . it certainly like a page turner. it certainly does.i like a page turner. it certainly does. i really didn't think that harry say half the things he allegedly has said . well, he allegedly has said. well, he obviously has said because people have seen the book . i'm people have seen the book. i'm quite surprised that he should be so open. but of course he won't talk about his in the army it was very important to him and obviously he talk about mother . obviously he talk about mother. as for the row with william. well that was the first story that came out. but i don't think harry would be free. i mean, harry would be free. i mean, harry is a fighter himself. harry would be free. i mean, harry is a fighter himself . so harry is a fighter himself. so i can imagine it is quite a

scuffle, isn't it, ingrid? which is that actually how believable is that actually how believable is it that harry was so scared of his brother harry, the bloke who, in the same admits to killing five members of the taliban and on his second tour of afghanis, stan and i'll bring you in on this. william comes in and rips his necklace. i mean come off his penis to feel sorry for him about that . i mean this for him about that. i mean this is a narrative harry likes to keep peddling . but i think it's keep peddling. but i think it's interesting because it's actually to sway a bit more sympathy towards here and because actually it might be the complete opposite of what harry would like it to do and is of us all going, oh, poor harry's had such a terrible, terrible time of it. you actually think, why is he revealing this very, is he revealing all this very, very information ? and very private information? and why him reacting ? i why isn't with him reacting? i mean, must have nerves mean, he must have nerves of steel to not to want to something and do something. but we really what what we don't really know what what went closed doors, went on behind closed doors, because that recent because even in that recent netflix documentary harry netflix documentary that harry and did , we do that and meghan did, we do know that william sent quite shocking

text. we don't know the context or was in that text, but we or what was in that text, but we do know that it was not a positive moment . no, absolutely positive moment. no, absolutely no.and positive moment. no, absolutely no. and also as well, ingrid, harry revealed that apparently it was all william kate's idea. so where a big costume, complete with swastika emblazoned and armband. i mean, what kind of idiot ? a armband. i mean, what kind of idiot? a costume in public. now i is telling you to do it. idiot? a costume in public. now i is telling you to do it . what i is telling you to do it. what i is telling you to do it. what i think apparently i think robert lacey actually revealed this in his book about william and harry. and, i mean, they went i think they went to a costume and hide the outfit. i haven't it obviously. that's what i gather. but you don't have to wear it. just because william. william and kate took you there. i mean, harry is always victim. and once again, he appears to be the victim in this. he's that way was frightened of his brother . he frightened of his brother. he was the victim in the fight. he's the victim of the uniform. nothing is ever harry's fault . nothing is ever harry's fault. and i think that's where loses sympathy or what little sympathy

they had him is lost because it's never his fault. and he says, you know, i was an absolute idiot doing that. and then you would you would feel much warmer towards . him. yeah. much warmer towards. him. yeah. rebecca mean, supposedly, supposedly he's when william pushed him around a little bit slaps or whatever he's saying he did and he fell backwards into . did and he fell backwards into. a dog bowl. the dog bowl shattered. and william apparently said something along , the lines of like, no, tell meghan this. and of course he didn't initially mark and he just called. this is trappist. do think that people just want harry to shut up now ? no, i harry to shut up now? no, i don't. because think this is in a way it's gift that keeps on giving, but also , i do think it giving, but also, i do think it might actually the royal family i know people going to disagree with me on this, but it makes them much more human and relatable. you actually see two brothers now. lots of people i think can relate to, you know, pressures within family bonds, between breaking up , between siblings breaking up, particularly new partner particularly when a new partner joins . so actually,

joins the family. so actually, it's while the royals are often accused of being outdated in a way, it makes them a bit more endeanng way, it makes them a bit more endearing and because harry's revealing personal private stuff that does i think in a way endear the rest of the members, the family to the rest of us. there are indeed some other private things that i'm allowed to say on national television this moment time. to say on national television thi i moment time. to say on national television thi i would moment time. to say on national television thi i would urge|oment time. to say on national television thi i would urge neither time. to say on national television thi i would urge neither you he. to say on national television thi i would urge neither you to. so i would urge neither you to do that either as well. people can to website to find out, can go to a website to find out, rather, revealing about rather, revealing facts about prince years prince harry's formative years shall, do you shall, we say. ingrid, do you think ? he should be banned from think? he should be banned from coming the coronation. no coming to the coronation. no don't think that's going to do any good . but i think he might any good. but i think he might it very awkward coming the coronation but i mean i think you know he and meghan need to be seen be royal because otherwise people are going to get completely bored of them just being harry and meghan whingeing about the world and everything that's going on in it. so i think he needs to be seen and charles is not going to ban them from coming to the coronation. he's not that sort

of person. maybe shouldn't, but he won't. yeah do you think, though, that we should have some kind from william? kind response from william? i mean at the at the mean at the minute? at the minute narrative is prince william's rocked up at harry's house himself in slightly it wife and then pushed him to the ground . i mean it's not a great ground. i mean it's not a great look for wales is he. i'm sure we've all got views on. exactly, exactly what happened there but i mean, you know, to what know speak out go well actually speak out and go well actually harry a public as well back harry had a public as well back at i said a previously i at i think i said a previously i think william must be to say something and do something but. he's in a different he's in a very different position, got a very position, harry. he's got a very different obviously with what's in store for him later on in life with, you know, being in line the throne, but with line to the throne, but with with kind his i think really with kind of his i think really it's a sad tale of two brothers who are falling out . and i think who are falling out. and i think we're only getting as we know one side of the story. we don't really know what are the arguments for going on we know that fell out that meghan and kate fell out over pair of tights before over a pair of tights before wedding tears . we wedding and there were tears. we know said that william

know that king said that william was know was texting harry. we know there's this , that william was there's this, that william was very cross when the and very cross when the queen and king were present. and king charles were present. and now know about a physical now we know about a physical situation and what the does say is that william asking harry to fight back so you know you know spar with me . he sounds like an spar with me. he sounds like an absolute wimp. seriously. come on, fleabag, stand up for yourself. i mean, come on. really? you've got this woman who really appears to running who really appears to be running roughshod over you, away roughshod all over you, you away from family. your from your family. tell your friends do fight friends, guys, do you fight back? for goodness i mean, back? for goodness sake? i mean, do ingrid, was do you think, ingrid, this was a big brother looking at his little be man, little brother saying be a man, one of up until you. yeah, one of these up until you. yeah, i it. well, it could well i think it. well, it could well be apparently. also, meghan accused kate of having a sort of mum beret . accused kate of having a sort of mum beret. i'm not accused kate of having a sort of mum beret . i'm not sure that mum beret. i'm not sure that there's the words he used, but what she meant was that . but, what she meant was that. but, you know, kate. but i just had a baby and had , you know, it baby and had, you know, it wasn't thinking clearly. so she was, you know, had a baby brain on.and was, you know, had a baby brain on. and how dare she say that and how and, you know, william

must have been absolutely furious with harry. i don't know what what timing this all was. i think this might been the fight with harry might have been before. i'm not sure where when this all took place, but william must have had a lot of pent up rage against. harry and harry, you know, always, always blaming other people for his predicament . and, you know, i think i think he probably deserved a punch on the jaw, not just a necklace. rebecca, you're shaking your head very reassuring . wouldn't head very reassuring. wouldn't have popped harry in the face. no, absolutely not. and i always i think what strength harry must have to not punch back and actually you do end up winning a fight when you don't really respond to you. sometimes you do you actually show a greater depth of character when you don't react in the way someone wants you to. because looks wants you to. because it looks like desperate for like william is desperate for fight this and fight and tough this out. and harry doesn't to want harry just doesn't seem to want to communicate that. i suppose if you just quickly have we stumbled we to stumbled on what we wanted to ask day ask this question all day

actually is taking this long actually is taking me this long which over way for which is nearly over is way for them to sort it out so just have a massive scrap . i don't think a massive scrap. i don't think there will be a moment but certainly in the next few months for them to sort it out and then i think these kind of things, they go cold and william probably thinks i just don't want to go there. i don't to have to talk to harry, the only person that can sort this out is their father. i really person that can sort this out is theirfather. i really feel their father. i really feel that. well, can whether he's got the time or the will to do it, i don't know. rebecca, if you're being honest, you try watch a fight between prince harry and prince . i think meghan would prince. i think meghan would probably fight better than harry. and i pay lots of money to see meghan in the ring because i do actually admire . because i do actually admire. all right. both of thank you very much. there we go. that is seward, though, as a royal commentator there in volgograd. entertainment correspondent writer rebecca. so, i mean, all these so i just let there was

overall you to the sell out event that be we've event that that will be we've got youtube now why now why not two royals anyway moving on i am of course checking, but i think right this is something a right now this is something a slightly more serious, although i seriously, given i am to take it seriously, given where been past where we've been in the past with covid, all saw this with covid, we all saw this coming. is anyone got terrible, catastrophic sense of vu here because time round though because last time round though something bit going on something a bit fruity going on in people at the in wasn't there people at the coffee it coffee table the sneezes that it started coming way and then we started coming way and then we started having restrictions for people all of a sudden people and then all of a sudden there was load of variants. there was load of new variants. well, round what's well, this time round what's been outbreak well, this time round what's been or outbreak well, this time round what's been or should outbreak well, this time round what's been or should we outbreak well, this time round what's been or should we have reak china or should we have restrictions people from china coming maybe we coming over here maybe we should. and maybe should. we should and maybe we're start laws about we're going to start laws about compulsory testing, etc. start being told our about whether being told our way about whether or rolling the wicket to or not rolling the wicket to whether not we should start whether or not we should start having social having more restrictions, social distancing, from home distancing, working from home are we go because are bingo we go because apparently there's a new variant who could have seen that coming and variant of and omicron some variant of covid responsible for mass transmission in the us has now in the uk it's nicknamed the

crackin . the who. has warned crackin. the who. has warned it is the most transmissible so very as been detected yet studies it is responsible for 70% of new infections in the us but also appears to be just as mild results as the omicron and its variants rise. with me now is dr. bharat , kenya senior is dr. bharat, kenya senior clinical lecturer at the university of exeter medical school. can forgive me for not getting excited . the crackin . getting excited. the crackin. yeah, i do. christi of course information is power and but no need to get dramatic about i totally agree with you so look . totally agree with you so look. number one the european nations and north america are in a very , very good position because of immunity by vaccines or infection . number two, these infection. number two, these are. yes i accept, highly infectious , but i would most infectious, but i would most vulnerable populations and are already in a better place because they have encountered or

they've got immunisation . so we they've got immunisation. so we are in a good place . the thing are in a good place. the thing is this is population and medicine for some thing that is highly in factious. yes it's highly in factious. yes it's highly transmissible it will in factit highly transmissible it will in fact it will it will it will find the vulnerable and those vulnerable people if there are in the hundreds and thousands, i.e. in china, for example then you've got a problem in china . you've got a problem in china. exactly. now, i think lessons need to have been learnt when we were right in the thick of the kobe thing, whether it's in the medical community or political, but also the media. we stayed up, we were all scaring the living daylights out . everyone living daylights out. everyone actually could the be a good thing based what you've just said ? well, no knowledge is said? well, no knowledge is power and these these these what you call is this always worry you call is this always worry you because whilst you wanted to go in one direction i.e. mild disease causing you don't want a variant that would suddenly

bypass the antibody is produced bypass the antibody is produced by our previous immunity. so of course one is always edgy when new variants emerge . as long as new variants emerge. as long as the variants are in in a favourable direction , we smile favourable direction, we smile and we say that's, great. okay. all right . so no massive need to all right. so no massive need to panic that can you just as much it is expected to get milder than covid so even if we're seeing things like going obviously what is happening in china is expensive the direction of travel be in the mild zone well we would love it to be that and so let's take an example of for example measles. measles has been around one hundreds and hundreds of years . it has never hundreds of years. it has never gone into the direct know. it is now a mild infection so not all virus cases tend in the direction of less disease causing . many do i do not think causing. many do i do not think . this one is a case of it's mild. but we've . this one is a case of it's mild . but we've got the upper mild. but we've got the upper hand the reason why we've got
