satirical, then drop me a line. mark@gbnews.uk and just title your email clips of the week. but anything you or hear, let me and it will feature on next week's instalment. welcome to the show. a very busy 3 hours, as i say. now this week saw both the prime minister and the leader of the opposition gave keynote speeches setting out their respective plans for power. but you get a cigarette paper between these two men, all sunak and starmer. now two side of the same coin, rendering millions politically homeless. that's certainly the flavour of the emails i've received this week. many of you don't think much of either of them. let's get the view of the most respected and experienced politicians in the country . politicians in the country. former business secretary under the coalition government, former leader of the liberal democrats , sir vince cable. sir vince, welcome to the program and thank you for your valuable time . you for your valuable time. shall we start with sunak? what did you make events of his five

point plan ? well, it was point plan? well, it was blunders and bland . and if you blunders and bland. and if you make a pledge that the sun's going to rise tomorrow , you're going to rise tomorrow, you're not going to be wrong, are but he's you know, he's is a technocrat and probably quite good at being a technocrat doesn't want to get involved in controversy and neither he nor keir starmer are wanting confront the issue of the which is that if we're going to get better public services and better public services and better paid nurses and somebody is going to have to pay for it, and that's to mean higher taxes . and nobody and neither of the two of the ones who raised the issue soon because he's afraid he'll be told in part by his backbenchers that starmer's afraid of that question because people will then say, well, which tax is you going to raise up that writes the next tory pamphlet ? so they're both pamphlet? so they're both avoiding the issue of the day, which is how we preserve and improve very battered public

services, particularly the nhs and which taxes are going to have to rise to pay for it. although servants . is there although servants. is there really any further capacity for an increase in taxes given the impact it will on economic growth ? you were rather smart growth? you were rather smart dunng growth? you were rather smart during the 2010 coalition government when you introduced austerity , which i think has austerity, which i think has been mischaracterised . it was been mischaracterised. it was rather living within our means. oughtn't that to be the flavour of policy going forward ? well we of policy going forward? well we have to live within our means and that's why if we want improved public services, taxation is going to have to rise to pay for it. now you are right that some taxes have a very bad on growth and we certainly don't want to be increasing taxes on working people , which is one of the people, which is one of the reasons why i had nicole. we constantly raise the allowances at which people pay income tax , at which people pay income tax, but there are other forms of taxation that probably wouldn't

have that effect on property the tax issue that's looming up in the next few months is fuel duty and. if the government believes what it says about zero carbon, then that's obviously a candidate relief from pensions , candidate relief from pensions, tax relief. that's the kind of things that have to be revisited . not all of these taxes have a negative effect on growth. so of them do . however, service isn't them do. however, service isn't your response ? keir starmer as your response? keir starmer as sorry. rishi said, there you go. that's the freudian said t rishi sunak's five point plan. a little churlish. given the fact that there's nothing on that list that most voters won't welcome boost the economy, reduced debt , stop the boats, reduced debt, stop the boats, tackle and do something about those nhs waiting lists . tackle and do something about those nhs waiting lists. i mean it's a as a shopping goes it's a belter . so i wouldn't say it's belter. so i wouldn't say it's about it. i mean most of them are perfectly sensible i'm not sure that the priority in the

nhs at the moment is reducing waiting lists . it's much more waiting lists. it's much more fundamental and more urgent, but yes, i mean if he actually delivered those, i'm sure it would be helpful . i mean, i'm a would be helpful. i mean, i'm a bit worried about one or two of his pledges. i mean, this pledge to have inflation of course, it's largely beyond his control . and one of the things that could go wrong is the course the chinese economy is now recover very fast after . the lifting of very fast after. the lifting of the covid restrictions . the the covid restrictions. the chinese probably for much of the in the world economy in the next year or so, they're going to push up world inflation, oil pnces push up world inflation, oil prices , gas prices, food prices prices, gas prices, food prices . this could be a kind of unexpected turn that could throw of these forecasts are very badly indeed. so let's to keir starmer now and he spoke a day after 24 hours after rishi sunak what was your appraisal of his performance? because many of my viewers feel it was just similar

to rishi sunak's full of platitudes . well it was platitudes. well it was actually. i rather admire the way he's going about his job. a lot of people on the left are saying, you've got to be much more radical. whatever that means going back to corbynite stuff. but i think he's playing safe . he realises that if we do safe. he realises that if we do get a labour government, we probably in some form is not going to be able to do very much about the economy. they've inherited these high levels of debt, big . the ability to have debt, big. the ability to have experiments with policy was rather discredited by mistrust . rather discredited by mistrust. i mean it's not going to do very much, you know, increasing growth is something that happens a long period of time . he is a long period of time. he is beginning to focus things that really don't have much to do with the economy. it's not, you know, changing the constitution , rid of the house of lords ,

, rid of the house of lords, long overdue and devolving a lot more power . long overdue and devolving a lot more power. local government. the problem that the latter is that clearly is necessary but it requires a certain amount of courage. i read gordon brown's long report improving the governments britain and there was virtually nothing said about giving local communities power to raise revenue do of an economic kind and i think starmer is offering is pleasant enough but very bland and his focus is on avoiding making mistakes of the neil kinnock variety . what would you say to variety. what would you say to many of my viewers servants who feel politically homeless and perceive? starmer and sunak to be too sides of the same coin ? be too sides of the same coin? well of course there are other opfions. well of course there are other options . you know, that sort of options. you know, that sort of summit my party, the liberal democrats, is another option . if democrats, is another option. if you want to pursue a set of

policies that green , that's policies that green, that's probably going to be bit more courageous about raising issues around europe which neither sunak nor starmer, which they touch with the badge for a fear of offending a significant part of offending a significant part of the. so yeah, there are other opfions of the. so yeah, there are other options and i would argue the opfions options and i would argue the options the middle not on the extreme don't you think that the lib dems have shifted far to the left since were leader and therefore will alienate many potential . conservative i don't potential. conservative i don't think so. i don't any evidence of that . i mean, most of the of that. i mean, most of the seats that where we're doing very well in local government are in what we call conservative facing areas most of our target seats are in that kind of constituency and we've demonstrated in these recent byelections that a lot of conservative voters found it an attractive alternative when that is the solution the government. so i'm not worried. governor

scott a fascinating how do you see things playing out in couple of years, sir? events because, of years, sir? events because, of course, keir starmer has two years to, you know, set out his stall as a potential, but that's two years of screw tony as well isn't and sue knight's got two years to prove he's up to the job. yes i think he himself tells his own party that they must be very careful to avoid complacency. they have a massive lead. it's about % it's bigger lead. it's about% it's bigger than they enjoyed in the parliament leading up to 1997. so you know, they can afford a certain amount of slippage. i think the risk for them is that they do well, but not quite well enough and they find themselves in a parliament where they dependent on my party or the nationalists and then they don't have the scope to do a lot of the things they want to do starmer's strategy clearly to play starmer's strategy clearly to

play safe , to appoint sort of play safe, to appoint sort of competent technocrats in key jobs. competent technocrats in key jobs . danger, i suspect, is that jobs. danger, i suspect, is that i'd be battling say if he's not exciting people going to get a relatively low turnout and that's the danger he runs so vince we always love having you on the show. i look forward to many air encounters in 2023 and happy new year to you and yours , sir. vince cable, the former leader of the liberal democrats wants your opinion at gb news dot uk. i'll sunak and starmer two sides of the same . do you two sides of the same. do you feel politically homeless? let me know. keir is the topic of my big opinion monologue. my on air reaction to his speech . and i'm reaction to his speech. and i'm not pulling my . after the break, not pulling my. after the break, we'll our attention to that explosive book by prince harry and one of the country's most respected and experienced journalists, eve pollard will be answering a simple question the press to heart on prince harry. see you in three. what a joke

welcome to the show. after 10:00, i'll be joined by the extraordinary james blasio . she extraordinary james blasio. she was taken and trafficked at birth as she gives her incredible story after ten. and incredible story after ten. and in my opinion monologue at nine, my verdicts on whether keir starmer is the answer to britain's problems. you won't want miss it. so lots to get through. but let me tell you that a very valued and loved member of the team is on going on to bigger , better things. our on to bigger, better things. our brilliant producer , joe brilliant producer, joe squatting , has been with us for squatting, has been with us for a long, long time. he's charming. he's he's very funny, very chap. he will be missed hugely. and now look forward to being a good friend of his. and i will miss him hugely as a colleague. good luck, joe, and do stay in touch. plus am a lot taller than he is. you might

nofice taller than he is. you might notice that, by the way, i think we'd make a great couple. but anyway, let's move on let's get more reaction now to the fallout from prince harry's forthcoming tell memoir company tell all memoir in the company of the most respected and of one of the most respected and experienced in experienced journalists in the country. i'm genuinely privilege to welcome former sunday mirror editor and quite literally the first of fleet street , no first lady of fleet street, no less, eve pollard. hi, ethan . less, eve pollard. hi, ethan. hello. how are you? i'm very well. it's to see you. happy new yeah well. it's to see you. happy new year. happy new year. this is happy year fleet street. happy new year for fleet street. wouldn't love to be wouldn't you love to be a national newspaper editor right now? they're all now? well, i think they're all for older lady sex for a certain older lady had sex with prince . she'll be found. with prince. she'll be found. i mean , she is. i hope she's mean, she is. i hope she's hiding somewhere because fleet street will be out there looking. that's right. she'll be found by sunday, won't she? and i think so. the alleged cougar that he had romanced in, i think, a field behind the pub to whom he lost too much , whom he lost too much, information to tmi . exactly information to tmi. exactly right. i mean, where do we could we start with i think what is the most egregious revelation from the book, which is that he

boasts of having killed 25 taliban, which places a target, not just on his back, but on the back of every member of his family up to and probably of the people he was out there with. it seems me that we've been examining his motives. we have been him. we see he's a very, very unhappy person . this is a very unhappy person. this is a very, very difficult life in some ways and a very easy life in ways. but now i think , have in ways. but now i think, have to question his wisdom and whether we are very lucky that he was the spare and not the heir, because to give out this information seems is a egregious every way. whatever you think of the taliban of the afghan that they were fighting they are people and they're not just people and they're not just people on the chessboard. and the fact that he describes them like that is inhuman and why tell us this why tell the world this? and here is the man who

can that security he was withdrawn he'll spend his whole life having to double up on security because look at salman rushdie he upset people years ago with midnight's and then only recently somebody took a shot and luckily he escaped his life this is going to a risk for the rest of their lives and. if anything, it's a propaganda opportune city for the taliban. sure and it's there are many, many reasons. sure and it's there are many, many reasons . why i would many reasons. why i would disagree with and every afghan but it's talk about them as if they're just something to be shot is appalling to write you say they've got families and they are human beings. what about the drugs he? we hear snorted cocaine and i believe smoked a spliff at eton . i would smoked a spliff at eton. i would imagine the lot of people at eton are fairly up their sons and saying darling did you do this and that is tonnes of probably lying probably most sons are i think that's sad i think it's part of the way of

the world now. why us particularly ? he's got two particularly? he's got two children. one day they'll grow up and they'll say . well, i can up and they'll say. well, i can have a spliff. dad, you did not the wisest thing to do well. it's what you said earlier. it's tmi. too much information. he's talking about losing virginity, snorting coke , and you just snorting coke, and you just think of the dignity of our late, great queen. and what exactly she here to witness exactly she was here to witness it. fact, i on twitter it. in fact, i saw on twitter someone you know, we miss it. in fact, i saw on twitter sonhugely you know, we miss it. in fact, i saw on twitter sonhugely in you know, we miss it. in fact, i saw on twitter sonhugely in someknow, we miss it. in fact, i saw on twitter sonhugely in some ways. we miss it. in fact, i saw on twitter sonhugely in some ways. i'm�*niss her hugely in some ways. i'm glad she's this. but what glad she's been this. but what is working on is terrible is been working on this some time. it was this book for some time. it was tragic . she this book for some time. it was tragic. she died last year, but could have still been alive. she could have seen all this. can you imagine how upset she would have been? how upset prince philip have been and quite philip would have been and quite rightly upset the rest the rightly how upset the rest the royal family would be and must be and must be feeling sad and so much of this has got no back up at all. i mean, idea that fleet street the idea as a next editor in newspapers, the idea that would ring you up and give you a salacious story about

harry and meghan. newspapers don't work like that. journalists don't like that. they watch people . they have they watch people. they have contacts. they follow people, they get things they ask people, they get things they ask people, they put two and two together and eventually if they're lucky, they get a story idea. people ring you up from kensington palace. i would have only dreamt of it as an editor and say, hey, i've got a hot story for you. it's nonsense. well, yes. and harry and meghan complain that the royal family and that the royal family have been leaking to the press. yeah, well, how a copy of this book miraculously arrive at the guardian newspaper. do you ? isn't that newspaper. do you? isn't that funny? isn't funny. and also the fact is, i was there i was there at their wedding . there was at their wedding. there was palpable love in air before, were thrilled that he'd chosen a girl like her an american a woman a woman who was feminist. i mean in some we did lose somebody who could have been very useful . somebody who could have been very useful. but i'm not sure

harry ever explained the difference between celebrity and royalty . and the truth is, in a royalty. and the truth is, in a royal, there's a lot of hard work, a lot of dull work, a lot work, a lot of dull work, a lot work, projecting things for charities, making sure work, helping people . it's not helping people. it's not glamorous. it's life. ally monsters reach out . and i don't monsters reach out. and i don't know she ever understood that . know she ever understood that. but if she did, she should have pulled out much earlier or they should have pulled out with none of this , you know, awfulness of this, you know, awfulness about nasty as a family broken . about nasty as a family broken. it is a family that must feel very broken. now and as you mentioned, too, with the taliban, they are human beings , taliban, they are human beings, commit crimes en masse . they're commit crimes en masse. they're human beings. nonetheless and so is harry. and so is meghan. and worry for harry's mental health. you touched on it earlier. i do feel that he's very angry, but i also think he's lost the plot. and i worry where this man is going. well, and also he's not

going. well, and also he's not going to therapists. therapists are supposed to make money back. shouldn't he part of what you should ask for is. but of course, that's the other thing people talk about the many talks about life about being cut off from security. this was a man that 20 million so. and that had 20 million or so. and the time i mean, should ask the time i mean, he should ask for his money back. but obviously nobody has made him or helped him. the old friendly, lovely has gone we're going to angry type uptight man who i think is trying to protect his wife and almost he's his wife is his mother as who needs protection and you want to say a lot of the terrible things that happened to diana those photographs, which is holding a over her face is when she got rid of her royal squad. correct and of course, i've had ken wharfe , former head of security wharfe, former head of security in studio and he has said on more than one occasion that if diana had the official security , she'd be alive now, she'd be with us now. and harry's risking

that all over again. oh, what would your advice be , charles would your advice be, charles and william, they've kept a dignified silence so far, but many of my viewers , they should many of my viewers, they should fight back. what's your view? my view is don't return the ball , view is don't return the ball, because if you do fight right. i mean, i'm not saying i mean, the queen put out that wonderful statement saying harry and meghan, the much loved members but recollections vary. and if they to make that sort of statement that's fine. why would you meet harry and meghan wherever you may say will be written down afterwards. we'll have another six part netflix series in the years time material and another book . and material and another book. and this is they have the truth and the other interesting story it's a story buried in one of the papers or one of the newspapers today coming from america . as today coming from america. as you know, they've started a set of programmes about people who've given people freedom speech. they started with nelson mandela. the viewing figure is very low . people love and

very low. people love and admired nelson mandela . the idea admired nelson mandela. the idea of comparing his cell on robben island they lived in for 27 years to that wonderful house in california is nonsense . but of california is nonsense. but of course, i think solely meghan and harry are realising unless they have royal in front of them , nobody's interested . and if we , nobody's interested. and if we keep having this very unhappy story going back and going back , if they don't see the royal family they will gradually become totally out—of—date and then they have to live their life on their own, doing service which i'm waiting. i know they do the invictus games, i know runs sentebale, but all you seem to see him doing in the netflix video having a wonderful time in that wonderfully house. i want to see sort of service the kids provide . you are a no nonsense provide. you are a no nonsense journalist . decades of journalist. decades of experience. let's call a spade spade has harry groomed by meghan . would you agree with

meghan. would you agree with paul burrell who told me on this network last night he thinks they will divorce and harry will come home. i can't into the future. and unlike i can't talk to people and think donna's talking to me. my mother's talking to me. my mother's talking to me. i don't even want blame , meghan. i don't know blame, meghan. i don't know whether anybody ever explains meghan what being royal is . the meghan what being royal is. the dufies meghan what being royal is. the duties of a royal. your position in, the family, the way you have to behave. i think if somebody actually told her about going off to some northern town , off to some northern town, seeing people in the pouring rain coming back, perhaps too late to put your children to bed and doing it all several times again. think of our royals for 50. that's what they do . yeah, 50. that's what they do. yeah, of course they have the privileges she got in his head i grooming a strong word i perhaps she turned eye against his family and against the nation . i family and against the nation. i think it's very hard. you know she does have she's turned

against her own family. there is no that far away from my father who's had a heart attack whose only crime seems to be that he worked alongside janice probably knowing no better and this probably did persuade him this would be good for his daughter and he might die and. she hasn't been to see him as far as we know so she form she has bad relationships with her half her half brother as far as we know . half brother as far as we know. so she does have form not sure you can blame all this on her. well, i think i with you and i mentioned that in a monologue last night that in the end it's harry that has allowed this to happen. i question his happen. and why i question his wisdom . wisdom, and he'll look wisdom. wisdom, and he'll look back 20 years i hope you back 20 years time. i hope you will and say i'm sorry if the greatest joy to see you again, please come back soon. i look forward to many appearances from eve pollard 2023. don't away. lots more to come. i'll be

joined by the music legend carol decker going through some of the biggest stories of the day. and don't forget my opinion monologue, my fast on our reaction to sir keir starmer's speech that's at nine. don't go anywhere .

coming up in my opinion monologue in just 10 minutes time is keir starmer really the answer to britain's problem ? my answer to britain's problem? my reaction to his first major speech of the and i'm laying out the truth i'm dropping some truth bombs and i'm not pulling my punches . and my more meets my punches. and my more meets guest is the extraordinary jane blasio who was taken and trafficked at birth. she her story shortly but first let's tidy up some the other big stories of the day with pop superstar carol decker. hey, carol . hey, look happy new year.

carol. hey, look happy new year. happy, new year. amazing to see you . can we talk about one of you. can we talk about one of the really big stories of the day and it's the nhs. huge problems. i really feel for patients. i feel for the nurses , doctors. i was in an nhs hospital earlier in the week. it is chaos . however, how the nhs is chaos. however, how the nhs brought this on itself. i think the nhs is like an onion , isn't the nhs is like an onion, isn't it, with lots and lots of layers . things to unpeel and there seems to be not one solution to the problems . i also have the problems. i also have experience of nhs recently we an older member of our family being admitted into hospital with bronchitis , got sick and got bronchitis, got sick and got diagnosed . fantastic. and then . diagnosed. fantastic. and then. took 48 hours to discharge them when they were ready to go . 48 when they were ready to go. 48 hours. so that meant that somebody else could have had

that bed 48 hours prior. and there would have been an ambulance queuing up to get somebody into bed. so there's something fundamental wrong with the way it's run and nhs trusts, i believe , all run their own i believe, all run their own trusts. so not always down to the government . and i do feel the government. and i do feel that we are the sort of patients that we are the sort of patients that come to the actual damage were told oh well you know the government they're not giving us the pay rises we needed, they're not listening to us. so you must keep away. if you're poorly, we'll just spend the rest of your life in a mask. so we just get we seem to be stuck in the middle of all these arguments which frightening sometimes i think. is frightening . think. well, it is frightening. listen, know, all friendship listen, you know, all friendship goes actually whole of the goes actually the whole of the pandemic because you were a regular on my old radio show just when lockdown started to happen and you felt it wasn't right , you happen and you felt it wasn't right, you felt it didn't make sense. and you felt a price would be paid . here we are.

would be paid. here we are. we've got an economy so shot to pieces , right? we've got a very pieces, right? we've got a very damaged we've got kids who's opportunities have been curtailed and their life chances . and we've got health, if we're honest carol , it's got great honest carol, it's got great staff, but they focus on one disease for over two years . it disease for over two years. it did. it became the covid service. and i have nurses in my family and i have friends who are doctors. my next door neighbour is a doctor, so i've got personal experience of the people on the front line and they work really, really hard. but i we're all aware now but i think we're all aware now that almost 50% of the nhs staff are not clinical. so it needs a root and branch branch reform and everyone's always scared to go . they don't want to be the go. they don't want to be the politician that the nhs. it's like this golden cow. well, it's not anymore . you know, it was , not anymore. you know, it was, it was conceived a long, long time ago when the world was a different place with a different size population, different needs. and it really needs

reform. and that is never, ever, ever on the shoulders , front ever on the shoulders, front line workers ever to. right. can we talk about saviour of the world? gretta thunberg, who has been awarded a brand new statue , has she? yes, the new the new winston churchill. the new queen victoria ? no oh, my god. i just victoria? no oh, my god. i just love to throw it in the bristol harbour, really, really want . harbour, really, really want. well, great. so she's become joan of arc hasn't got really her vote but the story that you're leading to is a universe who have spent around about 24 grand on a life size statue of her that really look it's really genenc her that really look it's really generic it doesn't even look like her has anybody seen the film the haunting ? it's really film the haunting? it's really good film. they've got remade in the late nineties and there's all these scary statues in the it's just one of them. that's it's exactly like that. it is in my mind where that's where it's

like that. and also like like the shining , the little girls in the shining, the little girls in the corridor . yes yeah. so the corridor. yes yeah. so anyway, the students at the at the university gave me you have to prompt university . they're to prompt university. they're upset because they say that this money could have been spent on better things, some of which i agree with saying they haven't spent as much on making the, the university facilities as as eco effective as they could but that then they say things that really annoying me like come on, you should have taken beef off the menu in the university canteen stuff . i just like to menu in the university canteen stuff. i just like to drink menu in the university canteen stuff . i just like to drink beef stuff. i just like to drink beef all over gratis statues that would please me no end really. it's not a it's not a bad show. it's not a it's not a bad show. it listen, i'm fairplay to her carol like she's is you know a woman of substance she's a character she's got she's got a dry wit. she you know, she's she's not bad at the occasional mic drop moment on twitter there was an excellent report . retort was an excellent report. retort to that to andrew tate chap

who's this sort of entrepreneur is a little bit old fashioned his views towards women and she she came back with it with good putdown so you know she's she's no dummy but how you feel about the fact that energy policy in the fact that energy policy in the west is being shaped by a grumpy vegan swedish teenager , grumpy vegan swedish teenager, it's clear , chris. and of it's clear, chris. and of course, i don't agree with greta thunberg a lot of stuff, but i we can both agree on a can't use the words to describe him on your show but no and we all being we need to always move with the world and make it the best that they can be for all of and god knows that that is difficult but we are being bullied out of the affordable and available into the unaffordable and the not yet available. and it doesn't make sense. and even elon musk in an article a couple of years ago, years and years ago, he was going, you know, electric vehicles the way forward and you carbon footprint you evil you if

you drive a petrol or diesel car even he said in an article a couple of years ago no we can't move across to the war on overnight we've got to gradually move across to things and i'm on board with that but it's the zealots that go you need to switch everything off and. this will just be switched on and is not going to happen and people are really feeling the pinch and the pain of this unrealistic tick policy. it's crazy to buy of just a quick words on beckham david beckham son who i believe is going be the new gordon ramsay. is that right it's going to be a bit sweary i hope he's not as sweary. have you seen that video? he's been mocked online, hasn't he, for cooking with a piece of beef the butchers have estimated costs , butchers have estimated costs, about £300. he cook vegetables with a load of butter. i was looking for the sick bag. perfect no, no . let me tell you perfect no, no. let me tell you this to aspects, to this story.

reaction. with me throughout the show . i've got to say, we've show. i've got to say, we've splash the cash tonight. you get what you pay for. splash the cash tonight. you get what you pay for . top political what you pay for. top political commentator and social analyst lizzie zita the broadcaster and host of a very popular new podcast . linda jubilee will get podcast. linda jubilee will get a plug in for that shortly and a top criminal barrister. nineties tv icon and ex tory mp which she tries to keep quiet. gerry hayes . now i want to hear from throughout the show. mark@gb news.uk throughout the show. mark@gbnews.uk programme has a golden rule 70 and all. you ready ? we don't do boring. on my ready? we don't do boring. on my watch. not even in 23. i just won't it? so there go. a very big 2 hours to come. big debates , big guests and always big opinions . , big guests and always big opinions. let's start with this . one opinions. let's start with this. one sir keir starmer says he's

taking back control, he's taking the piss the cervix free. leader of the opposition has got a nerve invoking the language brexit, given that he tried to reverse it as the shadow brexit secretary he campaign aimed for a second referendum which if granted would in my view, have provoked the greatest democratic and constitutional crisis in history. now i don't want this to be personal because is clearly a clever guy. and i'm sure he's a lovely bloke, but he really the answer to problems . really the answer to problems. for example, is he really the answer to britain's induced atrial strife. can labour stand up to the unions when they are in the pocket of them . donations in the pocket of them. donations from the union are essential in keeping labour financially solvent . let me tell you, it's solvent. let me tell you, it's very hard to be tough with people upon whom money you rely . we face economic crisis with

raging inflation. our labour. the ones to tackle that given the fact that not only would they likely yield to inflation busting pay from the public sector but their talk of investments is really just a snake oil term, which in reality just means borrowing and spend more money and tell me how that will settle. the nerves of international finance buyers and rolex wearing investors upon whose largesse we are now dependent. are you really telling that the financial markets would more forgiving of a big spending labour government? good luck with that. and starmer said yesterday that he will reverse legislation that makes it harder for workers to go on strike. look forward to strikes aplenty him in number 10. and how will starmer the national debt down given the fact labour enjoys massive support across the public sector education the health service and

beyond? do you that these interest groups will be happy to accept austerity? quite the opposite. if keir starmer gets into number 10, they will a tsunami cash. and if not, i predict, a civil war within the labour party. hardly basis of a stable government . don't take stable government. don't take word for it. notwithstanding his largely well—received speech , largely well—received speech, powerful voices within his own are already critical. and he's not even prime minister yet. the labour mp for hackney, north and stoke newington, diane abbott, for example , has described the for example, has described the speech as full of empty promises and says new funding is needed to underpin his plans. is keir starmer the right person to tackle poison this divisive, woke culture which is demonising british history and turning our pubuc british history and turning our public institutions into crucibles of mad , politically crucibles of mad, politically correct extremism , with everyone

correct extremism, with everyone being forced to declare their pronouns and sign up to a narrative that says everything . narrative that says everything. this country is shameful. can sir keir really push back on bonkers gender ideology which rejects the idea that there are two biological sexes , given the two biological sexes, given the fact that he himself can't even define what a woman , even though define what a woman, even though he's married to one and he's shown in the past a willingness to signal his virtue at the drop of a hat , whether it's taking of a hat, whether it's taking the knee in an empty gesture with a net by. of course, many of his voters were horrified by that image or wearing a mask in the company of justin trudeau. now, this was at a time when the mask mandates had been dropped. is keir starmer really the right person to tackle our other great challenge , the energy crisis, challenge, the energy crisis, given the fact that he wants to go net zero by next tuesday and borrow taxpayers in a 1970s style state sponsored to invest in flaky renewables. we saw in

the what happens when the government tries to be entrepreneurial. it decimated the motor industry, telecommunication lines, rail, gas, you name it. telecommunication lines, rail, gas, you name it . governments gas, you name it. governments can't run companies. well, actually, they but they just run them the ground . now, i have them the ground. now, i have voted newly in the past . they voted newly in the past. they made huge mistakes , namely the made huge mistakes, namely the iraq war and uncontrolled immigration. but iraq war and uncontrolled immigration . but they were immigration. but they were aspirational or business friendly and fiscally prudent and taxes stayed low. so it's never say never that they should win my vote again. i'm like one of the many millions of people in this country and the many people watching this show tonight. that makes my mind up on election day. i'm not tribal , as far as i'm concerned, whether it's a woman a man. whether it's a woman or a man. may the best win. but now keir starmer does not get my votes . starmer does not get my votes. this is not tony blair. 2.0.

blair for example, banned the word socialism from new labour . word socialism from new labour. he just banned it. and he recently said in an interview that his party must ditch the stuff. well, they can only do that if they ditch starmer , who that if they ditch starmer, who is rooted in the right on groupthink of islington , north groupthink of islington, north london . do you think a labour london. do you think a labour government would be more robust with illegal mike crossings, given the fact that starmer's is to make a deal with france bone schultz . with that and i've got schultz. with that and i've got concerns about starmer's character too, not just his . character too, not just his. this is the man that campaigned for jeremy corbyn to become prime minister. and be clear jeremy corbyn in number 10 would have been an economic and national security disaster so far from being tony blair 2.0, starmer is jeremy corbyn lite and whilst i grant news that in many ways the tories made an absolute dog's dinner of the

country over the last 12 years. it is starmer whose fingerprints are all over the current crisis . he was leader of no opposition , the pandemic, and called longer harder lockdowns and more covid tyranny. he called freedom day in july of 2021 reckless. so owns the economic societal human and health damage from that failed experiment as well. his could have stopped it . don't be could have stopped it. don't be fooled by the slogan the snappy catchphrases and, all the rest of it. starmer promises to end the sticking plaster politics. well, he can stick it as far as i'm concerned. right now we all sleep walking into a labour government and it's time to wake up . what's your view up. what's your view mark@gbnews.uk i'll get to your

emails very shortly . can't think emails very shortly. can't think of a show on national television radio that prioritises your emails more than this one. so do those messages in mark. emails more than this one. so do those messages in mark . and what those messages in mark. and what do you think of starmer? is he the prime minister in waiting? do labour deserve a shot at power. reacting that big opinion. my fantastic panel journalist broadcaster and podcaster linda jubilee top and social commentator lizzie zita and criminal barrister and former conservative mp and nineties and noughties tv icon . nineties and noughties tv icon. and let's be honest 2023 tv icon gerry haight of gerry you've flip flopped a little bit recently in terms of your support for this. can serve of government and you've critical at times. what about starmer. is he our next prime minister? no, of course he's not. and we've got the weird situation where the mad right want sunak to fail to prove the that boris johnson is our great saviour. and we've got the mad left who wants

starmer to fail to show that their great buddy jeremy corbyn is actually going to win? and it's ridiculous. it's nonsense . it's ridiculous. it's nonsense. everything to play the conservative party. i the 1992 election. everyone said it was going to go down the drain. kinnock was 28 points ahead in the opinion polls and won i with a majority of 3000. it can be done. however, lizzie zita it looks to be quite an insult. mountable lead at the moment i. take gerry's points about opinion polls. they be imbibed a pinch of salt, but starmer has seemingly rid his party of the ghost of anti—semitism . and he ghost of anti—semitism. and he looks like a prime in waiting, doesn't he ? well, he does . but doesn't he? well, he does. but he wouldn't be my choice at the moment. would be my choice . this

moment. would be my choice. this is the whole problem. there no strong leadership at the moment . i am in a political wilderness . wouldn't know who to vote for at the next general election . at the next general election. and i listened to his speech and, you know, people said it was visionary , etc, etc, and it was visionary, etc, etc, and it was visionary, etc, etc, and it was suppose in a way. but all this comes attitudinal change at a when the national health is crashing , we've got strikes crashing, we've got strikes left, right and centre . there's left, right and centre. there's the cost of living crisis . and the cost of living crisis. and he didn't seem to he was big on ideas, but how exactly would he tackle into all that stuff that that's so important at the moment? and on the other, i don't think rishi rishi sunak tackled into it enough because i think that the lunatics are running the asylum. i don't there is anybody at the in a really position to take this country forward. i mean ijust i won't you know tolerates linda jubilee the idea that his latest slogan power is take back control that was a term catch a

slogan in relation brexit. what a nerve he's got deploying that language the fact that he tried to reverse brexit. absolutely no idea why he chose that particular phrase . maybe he was particular phrase. maybe he was trying to be clever . it was too trying to be clever. it was too clever. i think it went down really, really badly. at the end of the day, his phrase was to use his phraseology just to cut and paste. marketing qlik i that's really not worth even diane abbott saw through him and she said that he was he was just a load of phrases and he didn't underpin it with any proper policy and it's this is quite right at. the end of the day i suspect this will come down to someone like you, mark, the floating voter, someone who actually makes up their mind close to the last minute in the voting booth and actually could go either way. whereas i think the labour were i think up to 33 points ahead, only several weeks ago. i think that lead has diminished and i it's not a

foregone conclusion that the labour party will win. i think the highly likely to win and think leading lights within the conservative party now are probably discussing margin of defeat and. and i think that's where we are right now, but it's by no means a foregone. absolutely. there be you know we we've heard all about shy tories . we know all about those. we know all about people who are going to make up their mind at the last minute. so it's all to play the last minute. so it's all to play for right now. i think sir keir starmer did calm a calm calm. i'll my teeth in. i did did a he did a reasonable job it was less boring than usual. it was less boring than usual. it was more interesting that he was streaky he was streaky . do you streaky he was streaky. do you remember that the audio didn't the audio you want to have. i was trying to listen there's something wrong with me and then i started oh the audio problems and he was well juju do you remember that. so do you remember that. so do you remember that. so do you remember that doctor who thing with david tennant and the prime

minister had just given the order to shoot down a whole load of aliens which the doctor didn't like and he says i will destroy you in four words. and what he did , he whispered to an what he did, he whispered to an aide , doesn't she look tired aide, doesn't she look tired tired? doesn't keir starmer look 7 tired? doesn't keir starmer look ? does he look out of it? sleep eves he pushed up his sleeves and he was trying to, you know , and he was trying to, you know, be dynamic. that's not a problem. so of what he does looks pre—cancer saved taking the day using catch phrases, not wearing a jacket . it it's odd, wearing a jacket. it it's odd, but then again, as you've said, as you've said lizzie, you know it's the same as sunak many people feel politically homeless . what do you think is keir starmer the answer to britain's problems? my panel are back. a very shortly. i'm sure they're all family sue prince harry will speak to michael jackson's former lawyer live from the united states . but next up in united states. but next up in the big question, as in tend to

recruit people who got a third at university, which is almost a fail do qualification still matter. do you know who we've got on? not just my panel, including jerry hayes, who got a third but self made millionaire pimlico plumbers founder . pimlico plumbers founder. remarkable, the one, the only. charlie mullins he's .

next yeah. there you go brian in stoke on trent people have got short memories look at those characters from the labour party , the back benches . barbara characters from the labour party , the back benches. barbara hi mark love the show. only person fit lead the country is nigel farage. he says he as is neither starmer nor rishi have any whatsoever. at least nigel cares and many would vote for him. thank you for that, barbara. nigel, of course. back on monday

at seven. mark says carol love gb news. no government and no for starmer . steve says mark, for starmer. steve says mark, what is the point of blue fighting? red labour? it all adds up to the same thing . can't adds up to the same thing. can't put a paper between either party. lots of you calling for reform uk and richard tice to fill that gap. alan says could starmer handle the crisis . but starmer handle the crisis. but when i vote only one word will ring in my ear after. what i've done for my country in both the military and work and the words in alan's mind that he won't forget in relation to labour scum. that's what , he says, no scum. that's what, he says, no one will ever call me and expect my backing because of my self esteem and values. alan it's a despicable word and it's not a word i'd use about anyone , word i'd use about anyone, frankly. and you're right to make points. derek says to win the election, all conservatives need to do is play a clip of the nie taking by keir starmer on

every possible opportunity before election day that and starmer having trouble defining a woman . derek, thank you for a woman. derek, thank you for that. keep those emails coming. mark@gbnews.uk. it's time for this . yes, it's time for the big this. yes, it's time for the big question in which we tackle a major news story of the day and the famous high street bank st handa have announced that they're going to accept candidates for employment who have received a third university. now a third is the lowest grade above a pass . lowest grade above a pass. they've changed this policy in order to boost the diversity of , their team and to give opportunities to a more varied intake from society. so is this a welcome opportunity , people a welcome opportunity, people with other talents or slap in the face for those that work hard in higher education? on tonight's big question do qualifications still matter ? to qualifications still matter? to debate this, i'm delighted to welcome one of the country's most high profile , best known

most high profile, best known entrepreneurs and self—made man who left at the age of 15 with no qualifications . but it worked no qualifications. but it worked out pretty well . charlie mullins out pretty well. charlie mullins obe , founder of pimlico obe, founder of pimlico plumbers, welcome to gb news. oh mark, it's great to be here and great to have you. what a mistake they're making, santander. i mean, why would you put people that are not qualified to actually do that type of job, they discouraging people from doing what . we people from doing what. we really need to be doing and that type of thing altogether . some type of thing altogether. some some some of the people are less academic. they're going to run out of that . and they've got to out of that. and they've got to get a type of job in a bank, which we even need. any more bankers. i mean, we need skilled workers. we need people to do an apprenticeship when . people have apprenticeship when. people have them out build friends , them go out and build friends, fashion mean, these fashion assets. i mean, these bankers can't build this is a total bad move by sense of their and you know, think they're going to totally regret. why would you put someone in charge of finances that is not enough

to be there and let's be fair. all the universities interested in is getting bums on. well, that's right. and built your success at pimlico plumbers by hiring talented , hard working hiring talented, hard working people . and if they did not cut people. and if they did not cut the mustard they were out it was quality control. if we go through charlie the grades you can get university that the top one is a first then you've got something called a21, a two, two and a third. so a third is basically it's a d, okay? it's the lowest score can get without failing . so what it means is if failing. so what it means is if you get third, you're either sick or lazy. why would you hire somebody like that ? well, that's somebody like that? well, that's what i just said . i mean, what i just said. i mean, they're undervaluing that the job itself . and of course, you job itself. and of course, you know, i'm the great love of degrees. i think you can get a great living without and probably better living especially demand for it being and so on. but what they're actually doing is putting people in the jobs a lot before it. it

can only lead to i mean, you know, it's like us taking plumbers that qualified plumbers that are not qualified or failed or if they or they they failed or if they failed with us, they don't get a job. and, you know, why would you let losers into a society that you know is very very important reflection charlie of the wider culture in society dare i use the word but this idea that all the kids at the school run get an award for participating and there are no winners or losers any more . winners or losers any more. well, that's just like i mean, look, we're in the world brigade, our typekit we need to stand up. we need to get to the type of country we are. and, you know , you sort of move around know, you sort of move around from world people, let the people down, let the real people get to work. and on a good living. and, you know , let's living. and, you know, let's start creating more and more apprenticeships. let's give people good trade up for jobs are needed and they will fortunes there. and you know , as fortunes there. and you know, as you say, you use me as an

example and as many, many other people like the apprenticeships have very successful run their own business. i'm telling you now these spangler or something the crooks in suits anyhow and i. so why would you want to encourage write and i'd love encourage to write and i'd love to see so much of the investment money that goes into higher education training education towards training skills and apprentice ships rather than i know some kind of degree at the university of oxford for jam degree at the university of oxford forjam making media studies or some other such nonsense. let's bring can we charlie the panel in as. nonsense. let's bring can we charlie the panel in as . well charlie the panel in as. well because they'd love to contribute to this conversation we've got linda jubilee yeah lizzie zita jerry hayes and i think an apology is in order because i believe you've got a 30 you've got a global fund. i worked hard for that through debauchery and drunkenness so i deserved it but course i mean this is all just ridiculous . the this is all just ridiculous. the fact of the matter is

apprenticeship all now the key and a lot of newspapers are saying, oh, no, no, no, no , the saying, oh, no, no, no, no, the middle classes are going for it. hey, it's a middle class think an apprenticeship, doing something proper , giving their something proper, giving their kids an of a job. hey, that's a good oh, my gosh . jerry, jerry, good oh, my gosh. jerry, jerry, jerry hayes. the proof, if you needed it, that you can't polish a third on peter. oh, that is clever . i'm a third on peter. oh, that is clever. i'm here. yeah, i'm here . weekend peter, is it time to start closing down universities 7 start closing down universities ? open up a few. a few training colleges where you can actually skills? well that may or may not be true but i think that santander honestly that made me laugh that they're accepting people to have a third have you have a show once you get through to a recently i was on the phone where experian think really how i call volume at the moment no you're not you're all sat at

home doing nothing a third is too high a standard for these people what do they do what do they do. i could give you mortgage advice . i could tell mortgage advice. i could tell you how to run a savings account. i think it's perfectly for these people to have a third because they don't do that. they're not high level bankers. people work in banks and the service the moment. sorry to have a rant is absolutely appalling. we've gone back about 25 years. well, i and i also want to say my husband used to be a plumber as well . and yes, be a plumber as well. and yes, it's a good he found it quite difficult get on with the guys because he wanted to be an artist and now he's an artist. but yeah if people want to be yeah. yeah it's almost not, i'll just a plumber i know a too and all the other way round . you are all the other way round. you are so to have been married to so lucky to have been married to a plumber. i have. oh yeah. my toilets don't work . oh no. you toilets don't work. oh no. you know that's what they say. but you think around the bend. exactly. you were did he do your

pipes . he certainly exactly. you were did he do your pipes. he certainly did. now lizzie zita got it. i've got to do a shoutout santander because actually customer service is brilliant. i think santander is a great business, so i don't want this to be know an attack on them more than what banks general right like when you're trying to get you on the customers i know it isn't i do agree i've had a few horror shows with some unnamed brands, but i've got no personal gripe with santander. and you could argue linda jubilee that diversity word has some merit. what they're saying is that you're going to penetrate communities where this kind of great opportunity would not normally happen. you get somebody that performed perhaps brilliantly university they got a third you get them into you get them trained up . turns out get them trained up. turns out they've got hidden talents . i they've got hidden talents. i think that's absolutely true. and it does depend on the job that you're aiming for at santander because it's not all about finance. there's plenty of

marketing people there. there's plenty care people plenty of customer care people there. there's loads of jobs they going for. and they could be going for. and actually, get through they could be going for. and ac'the ly, get through they could be going for. and ac'the interview, get through they could be going for. and ac'the interview, it'sat through they could be going for. and ac'the interview, it's how �*ough they could be going for. and ac'the interview, it's how you1 to the interview, it's how you perform in the interview that really now, think really counts. now, what i think to you're is to santander you're doing is they are giving a nod, diversity and inclusion, and that's no bad thing. is here , i thing. but the issue is here, i suppose there are many schools, many who watch their many parents who watch their children benchmarked to children who are benchmarked to within an inch of their lives over seven years secondary over seven years of secondary education in order to get exactly the right grades, get into exactly the right university . then when get university. then when they get there, there's point in there, there's no point in diminishing the importance of that so that's my that degree. so that's my thought. briefly, linda, thought. yeah briefly, linda, there a war on merit there seems to be a war on merit these days. i almost have to say terrible. absolutely terrible. i've got three children. i've them all work really , really them all work really, really hard for their qualifications . hard for their qualifications. and they've done very well. and, you know, i applaud that. at the end of the day, this is going be a race. there's going to be a winner, there's going to be a loser. but even if you get the

third, as we see here, the example of gary hayes, it doesn't mean to say you've really lost. you just got to pick yourself crack and find pick yourself crack on and find as all gets. as charlie as as as all gets. as charlie says something same issues says something the same issues linda all so right linda you all you are so right because if it turns out if you're watching you know if you're watching you know if you're thick dunce you can you're a thick dunce you can just become a tory mp like and you'll have a great career and you'll have a great career and you'll in good company. you'll have a great career and you'll in good company . yeah . cha you'll be in good company. yeah. cha charlie all the way from dubai. you get the last, sir. okay what do we want to get less academic students and run up a decline that where there might not even be a jump from? i mean, that's just ludicrous. oh one want some off we're looking the mall money in the bank and i've i do bank descent and like put people on the are not qualified i'll move banks because it's not it's just not right to do that and encourage into but are encourage people into but are not qualified for that we were screaming out for apprentices that's what we need. bankers

don't pay three out last is a year and that's what we need. skilled people . amen to that, skilled people. amen to that, charlie . wish you a very happy charlie. wish you a very happy new and look forward to new year and look forward to seeing you soon. thank you so much for joining seeing you soon. thank you so much forjoining us on your trip much for joining us on your trip abroad to have your abroad and lovely to have your input and your story input on. that and your story remains a humbling and deeply impressive. a true entrepreneurial icon and charlie mullins obe . coming up my martin mullins obe. coming up my martin meet guest is the extraordinary blasio who has taken and trafficked birth. she tells her story after we've got papers story after we've got the papers at 1030 with full panel reaction . but next, how about this for a bit of a hand grenade ? should bit of a hand grenade? should the family sue prince the royal family sue prince harry? we'll be asking. michael jackson's former lawyer.

what is the best part of my show. it's when you get in touch.i show. it's when you get in touch. i love the emails. i don't know. a program on the national radio or television

airwaves that prioritises your messages more. so keep them coming mark@gbnews.uk how about this from john in nonie ten. lovely part of the world. hi john, how are you tonight? john says mark, the tama or sunak is the answer . you're asking the the answer. you're asking the wrong question, sir keir. is an unreconstructed socialist and fishy. rishi is a social democrats. how about this from christian ? and he's a goes the christian? and he's a goes the other way. christian says mark definitely deserve a shot in power . tories have used their power. tories have used their stonking majority to give us the highest in 70 years, a broken and record breaking levels . and record breaking levels. immigration bring on starmer. new labour wasn't as bad as current day conservative hibbs and last but not least this from stephanie to labour or conservatives , i will vote for conservatives, i will vote for either the reform party or heritage party, says stephanie . heritage party, says stephanie. ihope heritage party, says stephanie. i hope everyone will do the same . get rid of the corrupt riffraff we have at the moment . riffraff we have at the moment. all current mp should be behind bars for what they did during

the pandemic and still continue to do in pushing gene therapy. poison vaccine. if justice not serve, people will not trust politician ever again . now, of politician ever again. now, of course, that is stephanie's. it's very clear from the medical authorities that the vaccine's tested and it's safe , effective. tested and it's safe, effective. but stephanie, your entitled to your view? no one gets cancelled. not on my . keep those cancelled. not on my. keep those emails coming . gbnews.uk i'm emails coming. gbnews.uk i'm looking forward to this next story as the fallout from the forthcoming publication of prince harry's book spare in, he shares some of the most intimate about his life and that of his family . there's a deafening family. there's a deafening silence from buckingham palace. who do have a right to reply in relation to many excuse relating allegations made by the young prince. we've seen celebrities go to court for less. so it begs the question, should royal family sue the for the contents

7 family sue the for the contents ? harry's book, not to mention the oprah interview, the netflix series and god knows what else. to discuss this, i'm delighted to welcome one of the best known and most respected in america. having previously represented michael jackson, no less, mark geragos. welcome to . gb news. geragos. welcome to. gb news. mark good to have you on the show . do you think that the show. do you think that the household are deafening in their silence or they too consult their lawyers because there were some shocking allegations floating around? well the problem is, if they were to bnng problem is, if they were to bring the lawsuit here in america, they would have an awful tough time getting the american libel and slander laws . i would give some great protection to both harry and meghan , but the one of the meghan, but the one of the things i've often complained , things i've often complained, the difference between england and america is , you have, i

and america is, you have, i think a more robust system in place. i've argued for years that we started with the bringing over across the to our shores kind of the tabloid ization of cases and that's great and obviously we're in the midst of one here in america right now. you may know about it, but the murder of four horrific murder of four kids in idaho and that is kind of captured once again kind of a throwback to the pre—trump of the non—stop coverage. but the problem is when you bring that when you that over you still have in the uk. the contempt of court act which at least you shut down the coverage when there's that tension between the first amendment here and the sixth amendment. i think they're there . you know, if it was

there. you know, if it was anybody and you've seen it and i don't need to tell you about it in the uk. in france, i think have more robust and actually probably better. have more robust and actually probably better . they have more robust and actually probably better. they deal have more robust and actually probably better . they deal with probably better. they deal with these things in a better way so that people don't feel like they can just publish and let you perish, if so to speak . well, perish, if so to speak. well, definitely. but as you well know, in the united states, sometimes rich celebrities and corporations just sue people to make them uncomfortable or to send a message, even if don't win, it can be pretty acted. and if they've got deep pockets , if they've got deep pockets, still a worthy , almost political still a worthy, almost political , if you like. and you just wonder whether if the palace to use their deep pockets and pursue some kind of action . you pursue some kind of action. you know it would it would at least give the sussexes pause thought. next time they write a book , do next time they write a book, do a tv series. i mean mark. let's look at some of the allegations. they've called the royal family a devastating allegation,

unsubstantiated . meghan markle unsubstantiated. meghan markle said that she married the day before her wedding . that's before her wedding. that's a lie. it was disproved and contradicted by the archbishop of canterbury, who is the top cleric in this country. of canterbury, who is the top cleric in this country . the cleric in this country. the bottom line is that there's certainly a case to answer from this young couple. well, the more you mention here and the people sue know, you may remember the johnny case and originally the first time it went through it was in your country. and he was not successful . they picked a successful. they picked a jurisdiction here or he forum shop they jurisdiction that where he would not get what we call here slapped and it was successful i can't tell you and i've said real time i didn't think it smart of him because i. i thought it was going to be kind of mutually assured destruction . the you know, i destruction. the you know, i think , i was wrong. i think that think, i was wrong. i think that for him, he didn't really care. ultimately the end of the day about the money. he cared about

vindication and he did not get it in the uk and he got it in the us and arguably a jurisdiction that had very connection to what actually . connection to what actually. indeed. but don't think that the palace you know if they were to threatened legal action it would just rough them up a little bit, you know, a short across the bowels marker , i guess. well, bowels marker, i guess. well, i'll tell you they you know, they've been on the receiving end of with prince andrew of a few slings and arrows in the last and just subtle . one of last and just subtle. one of those cases out of new york. so i'm not so sure that they want get mired again in one of these things and set any kind of a i mean, remember in that litigation that was going back and forth. they were contending that they couldn't be sued and that they couldn't be sued and that they couldn't be sued and that the palace couldn't do that , had various immunities and things of that nature . if you things of that nature. if you now affirmatively sue or threaten to sue, it undercut the

positions you were taking before as well. well, i very rarely disagree with you, mark geragos , partly because i don't have as good lawyers as you do. but i would say in relation to this couple, take him take him down to chinatown . but mark, thank to chinatown. but mark, thank you for your wise input and your expertise in this matter. catch up again soon, mark geragos, who's a legendary hollywood representing michael jackson , representing michael jackson, chris brown and lots of other big stars. fascinating conversation. well i've been asking you, should the royal family sue prince harry, thousands of responses. it's been a victory as well . 59% say been a victory as well. 59% say yes . sue, the couple take him to yes. sue, the couple take him to the court for everything they're worth. 41% say no. the people have spoken. my mom's guest is the extraordinary jane blasio was taken and trafficked at birth . she's a baby and she was birth. she's a baby and she was given away . we've got her story given away. we've got her story after ten. plus the papers at 1030 with full panel reaction in my take at ten i'll be dealing

with prince harry and it's not for the faint hearted. let me tell you. but next, will private health now become the norm? see you .

in welcome back to the show. very excited about my mock meets guest it's a woman was trafficked at birth she was stolen as a baby she tells her incredible story . and at 10:00, incredible story. and at 10:00, i'll be dealing prince harry. more revelations from that book . my verdict. but reacting to the big stories of the day is my all star panel. the journalist and broadcaster with a brand new podcast linda jubilee, leading political and social commentator lizzie zita and top barrister tv star and former conservative mp in order jerry hayes. now as we in orderjerry hayes. now as we know, our nhs is pushed to the

breaking at the moment, but might it be possible it's so pushed that it's at the point of no return. according to one expert, there are growing numbers, people turning to private health care after providers say they're starting to get inquiries from less affluent postcodes that they've never received before . a record never received before. a record 7.2 million people are currently on nhs lists, while around 400,000 would be. patients have been hoping to see a consultant for over a year. can you really blame people for putting their health first? whether they can afford or not? so it begs the question, will private health care become the norm. and that's the million dollar question. lizzie peter, isn't it? which a. who cares about debating ? should who cares about debating? should we privatise the nhs . people we privatise the nhs. people will have gone private by then anyway. no. well not everybody because. not everybody be able to afford it. but i do think that the extreme right wing of the conservative party kind of like waiting for it collapse and

then saying, well , didn't work, then saying, well, didn't work, we have to go private anyway. so thatis we have to go private anyway. so that is a concern . no, i don't that is a concern. no, i don't think it is a conspiracy. so it's not money, is it? what the tories have pumped into the nhs 7 tories have pumped into the nhs ? boris put 34 billion into it. you also up the salaries about five per. i know it was eaten up inflation but yes he did but it was all swallowed up by inflation and everything. but i just think that, you know, i noficed just think that, you know, i noticed with my mother, mark, that those little services that she used to have like harry is being created to have feet now. before it was regular. now it's like once a year and along the high street i live now, you can have those things done fo r £50 have those things done for £50 or, you know , for sort of or, you know, for sort of relatively small amounts of money. well not to everybody. i'm not being facetious , but i i'm not being facetious, but i do see that this privatisation is starting to happen and think that there is a design fault within the national health

because . if it was designed because. if it was designed today , would be more based on today, would be more based on the dutch and french sort system of insurance because it's unsustainable. what do you think? i think the key there is, if it was designed today, we might do it differently. what we've got to bear in mind is that nhs was up when people that nhs was set up when people retired 16, died at 60. now retired at 16, died at 60. now and we've got that problem being compounded by the fact that we've enormous strides in we've made enormous strides in the of cancer and in the treatment of cancer and in the treatment of cancer and in the of heart trouble, the treatment of heart trouble, which the which left us with the degenerative diseases of old age. we've got people living age. so we've got people living till 95 and that's a really big problem, no matter how much money you throw at the nhs right now , i think you do have to now, i think you do have to accept the model is broken. it's not about privatising some of it , it's about finding a fresh way of life. and it's not about can't be about money, can it? linda wit h £13,000 per linda with £13,000 per household, per year going into the nhs, how much more can we give them. it's, it's upwards now of 200 billion a year. yeah. yeah. but the most important going on, it's got to be free.

the point of delivery as it does when you good, you must never go back to the correct thirties . back to the correct thirties. you worry about health. well, so does my mother or father or son or daughter have to pay. i'm not going to go to the doctor. and there's all sorts people. well, charge for the doctor. no no, no, it's wrong. i don't care what model we have, whether it's insurance , whatever it is, as insurance, whatever it is, as long as it's free, as long as people don't have to worry . people don't have to worry. health care. look what's happened to dentists . it's happened to dentists. it's pretty ghastly, isn't it it's? terrible. it's appalling . yeah, terrible. it's appalling. yeah, but i think. i think about race now. i think it is. yeah, yeah, absolutely. i think what you said is absolutely true because we double the people , 85 we have double the people, 85 year more than double more year olds, more than double more than that, and we have less and less young people. one of the answer is, is more migration so that we the younger people that we get the younger people so you can take care us as we get older . so you can take care us as we get older. but i think it's a really big issue. i remember when i was a kid that people

would start to die 60. oh, we had a heart didn't have your own teeth , you know. you know, it's teeth, you know. you know, it's a you know, i know something do with that without without finger wagging you know this is from all of us have got but you know pubuc all of us have got but you know public health is worse because our lifestyles aren't great. you know , getting fatter know we're, getting fatter and lazier, yeah, that's lazier, aren't we? yeah, that's true. very true. and in true. very, very true. and in fact, was i remember on fact, there was i remember on tonight on channel and tonight programme on channel and another said i, i another time i said i, i remember we did a, we did one particular story where we went back to the axis eyes and diets the people had in the 1940s, which you would have assumed would made them less healthy, did not. they healthier did not. they were healthier then because had fresh food cooked from scratch and. they were moving around more , weren't were moving around more, weren't having sort of muffins and croissants . they were all croissants. they were all rationing . this is something you rationing. this is something you would not with at all because you were forcing people to do that and that's wrong. got to have the freedom choice to be fat if you want but i think know

about the benefits the nhs . yes, about the benefits the nhs. yes, i think that we need to think about health care like everything that you said. i think we need to think about, you know, diet, exercise . my you know, diet, exercise. my mother is italian . she's an mother is italian. she's an excellent health because she eats the kinds of food other would think, oh my god, i can't . yeah, fresh fish, olive oil, all of them . yeah. and like, oh, all of them. yeah. and like, oh, i just took the guys and i bought some, you know, all of that stuff. japan them on asian population but they don't have a health oh, they have health problem. oh, they do have tremendous they do have health problems. they have different problems. they have different problems. have problems. they don't have an obesity don't obesity because they don't because the food. because they eat the right food. well, don't because well, no, they don't because they get cancer of the stomach. well, have well, that's they don't have enough time. that's not enough. i've enough. know not too i've got enough. know not too much. sushi . fascinating much. that sushi. fascinating conversation. what do you think mark@gbnews.uk i'm very excited because let tell you that the jerry hays fitness book is coming out in a few weeks time. oh, i actually did a fitness video for hills fitness for i'll go to the mills special lady.

public. don't forget, back in the day, this sunny faced smasher was the second most popular member of the royal family behind the queen. we loved hazard. he was a bit of a legend, wasn't he? a few girlfriends drunken nights out, he did everything that many of us would if we found ourselves member of the royal family. he enjoyed the role and being spare, which is now the title of his new book, appeared to suit him all the trappings of fame , him all the trappings of fame, privilege, but none of the responsibly see not worrying about the birds and of becoming monarch. it was perfect gig. what went wrong ? there's a what went wrong? there's a wonderful poem which i at a—level called the rhyme of the ancient mariner , in which the ancient mariner, in which the sailor is consumed with hatred and anger that as he looks into the sea, the fish around manifest themselves as monsters, dark sea , snakes. well, this dark sea, snakes. well, this seems to be with harry in every aspect of his life. he hates the world. the british press which

love bombed him and which he at times are apparently now evil and racist . the times are apparently now evil and racist. the family times are apparently now evil and racist . the family that and racist. the family that raised him and the institution into which he was born are all arcane, heartless and the worst revelation by far is his boast of killing 25 taliban by breaking the military code and showing off, he himself, his wife and his children and the rest of the royal family far greater peril. plus other soldiers , he's put a target on soldiers, he's put a target on his back and on the back of everyone professes to love . everyone professes to love. prince harry has a recruiting sergeant for the taliban , of sergeant for the taliban, of which they can only dream the ultimate propaganda tool. and yeah, harry is a bit of a tool in book we will hear tales of use and smoking at eton . i've use and smoking at eton. i've got to say, i'll probably be in need of some class a drugs . once

need of some class a drugs. once i finished reading his self—indulgent drivel next week , we're told he begged , his , we're told he begged, his father not to marry the love of his life camilla, for fear that was an evil stepmother . really, was an evil stepmother. really, harry well , was an evil stepmother. really, harry well, dear old meghan markle doesn't exactly across as mary poppins , does she? people mary poppins, does she? people in glass houses and all that . in glass houses and all that. he's even addressed rumours about his parenthood and the suggestion that his real biological father is in fact james hewitt . biological father is in fact james hewitt. is harry a you tell me the abiding narrative of the book is that everything is everyone else's fault. include his disastrous decision to wear a uniform to a party an outfit apparently chosen by william and kate's . and the theme of this kate's. and the theme of this whole is what the youngsters call tea. am i too much information. like, for example the news that he lost his

virginity . an older lady virginity. an older lady referred to as a cougar in a field outside a pub . our late field outside a pub. our late great queen must be so proud. harry is now doing to the country and his own family what he did to that young woman in a bush.the he did to that young woman in a bush. the rose and crown prince harry may have boosted his bank balance with the release of this memoir , but he's closed the memoir, but he's closed the chapter on relationship with his family and country. and it's very sad . and i think now it's very sad. and i think now it's time for a bit of tough love from king charles and his brother, william . in the wake of brother, william. in the wake of this, tell best seller. i think . the gloves are off this spoilt entitled brat needs to be put in his place the family relieve him of his titles uninvite him from the current and quite literally throw the book at him . am i too

throw the book at him. am i too hard on old has a what do you think market gb news dot uk. i'll get to your emails shortly, but reacting to my take at ten on my fantastic panel, journalist and broadcaster linda jubilee political and social commentator lizzie zita and criminal barrister and former tory mp gerry hayes. criminal barrister and former tory mp gerry hayes . gerry, what tory mp gerry hayes. gerry, what do you think? is it time for charles and william ? throw the charles and william? throw the book at this boy. no leave it alone . keep the moral high alone. keep the moral high ground . don't respond to. whilst ground. don't respond to. whilst people lie about . you, gerry, people lie about. you, gerry, saying . well, whilst people lie saying. well, whilst people lie about. saying. well, whilst people lie about . yes, you've got to do about. yes, you've got to do that. you really have. it's like in politics or anything else. you never unless it's really, really, really serious. but even then you're going to be a bit of trouble. he's a troubled young man , it's desperate to see that. man, it's desperate to see that. clearly, he misses his mother. but all this dreadful stuff is out. and i think the hypocrisy basically when saying, look, i

don't want my family to be intruded by the media and he doing is doing exactly the same thing against the royal family i don't think some people may say it's the end of the monarchy as a result. i don't think. so i think this is book that is exposed if it's exploded in the face of harry linda jubilee , face of harry linda jubilee, there's the allegation that prince william struck harry and he fell onto a dog bowl. well, in my view, the are now off. what's yours. i think teasing phrase the genie is out of the bottle . at the end of the day, bottle. at the end of the day, the royal family did encourage a level of, if you like connection and engagement with the press. many years ago which is simply grown and grown and grown and harry's princess diana met several journalists that i know and she brief them. so we know that these briefings been going on more of them than perhaps we knew about at the time . but at

knew about at the time. but at the end of the day, i think that the end of the day, i think that the royal family mystique is slowly being back, and that is a very big for the royal family and. this book is by far the most explosive element in that . most explosive element in that. that's a searing analysis. what's your view, liz zetter? well i think this is a tale of two cities or countries in the uk . we are of the view. he's uk. we are of the view. he's been really foolish and hypocritical and we meghan and we think that you know he says that oh i was frightened about the protection of my family and meghan and then he goes and says that he's killed 25 afghanis. it's dreadful thing to say and now he's his whole family in danger. now he's his whole family in danger . and on the other side, danger. and on the other side, in the town of the other city, they believe that meghan and harry are absolutely correct that they are all in the right that they are all in the right that they are all in the right that they can do no wrong etc. etc. so but it's a very very sad

thing to watch this young man fall into this mire like this. it's absolutely . i mean, if he it's absolutely. i mean, if he had told his story being . paid had told his story being. paid £100 million, it would been one thing. but to be paid into. trish, your family , to me, trish, your family, to me, that's just anathema. it's easy to go out. i've i've got a i don't get to get in trouble with greg so quick answers if you can i've got a mic drop question for the three of you and take it in turn with you lizzie zita is prince harry mentally ill ? oh, i prince harry mentally ill? oh, i don't think you should do that . don't think you should do that. no, no, leave it alone . is that no, no, leave it alone. is that a case of i won't answer or don't because you're not a psychiatrist ? don't know. what's psychiatrist? don't know. what's your view is, gerry? i think he's not the right man , but i he's not the right man, but i think he's troubled. i think he's . leave it there . but the he's. leave it there. but the interesting thing is that his audience in the united state is the woke brigade . he

audience in the united state is the woke brigade. he is audience in the united state is the woke brigade . he is now the woke brigade. he is now admitting to killing 25 afghans. the work brigade . i like it. the work brigade. i like it. also, it could be cynical . send also, it could be cynical. send them to jubilee. you've no glass jaw. do you think ? that harry is jaw. do you think? that harry is mentally ill ? jaw. do you think? that harry is mentally ill? i think that he's a troubled individual. and what we see in this book is truth in all its rawness. you go, well, listen what i will say is that i do wish the guy well , but listen what i will say is that i do wish the guy well, but he's got to stop attacking everybody and i think he's got to reach to his family and build some bridges. if he does that, he will have my wholehearted support. but what's view mark@gbnews.uk as nice to see jerry hay sweat there for a moment and you go we've got lawyer in the building. we'll be fine after this. we've got the remarkable story. i'm so forward to meeting jane last year. she was taken and trafficked at birth. her story.

next in the papers in 10 minutes time. hot off the press. but first, it's time for mates. imagine being taken away from your parents at birth and not finding out until in life. my next guest is jane glasgow, who her experience in an amazing bestselling tell all book . it's bestselling tell all book. it's called taken at birth . stolen called taken at birth. stolen babies hidden and my journey to finding home. prior to its jane appeared in tlc investigative series called taken a birth where jane interviewed other victims of the now infamous hicks clinic and with an investigative team, she looked into the mysteries behind the case of dr. thomas hicks, who sold babies illegally from his clinic in the 1950s and 1960s. jane joins me now. hi, jane hi.

how are you . i'm very well, and how are you. i'm very well, and i'm deeply indebted you for joining us to and your story on the national television airwaves. how were you when you were given away ? i was given were given away? i was given away. was then just a few days of birth . and i was in good of birth. and i was in good condition. my parents were worried that they get back to ohio from georgia to ohio, which is like a hour drive at that time without me having some medical issues. if i if i even survived the drive, which is another element to the story, just journey. jane why did your parents and your biological mother give you away ? you know, mother give you away? you know, i don't know why i was given away , but i know that my i call away, but i know that my i call them adoptive parents. but it wasn't a legal adoption . it was

wasn't a legal adoption. it was a transaction . i know that my a transaction. i know that my mother that raised me was just desperate to have a child and she couldn't have one herself because of medical issues. and she just really wanted one in my the man that raised me really wanted her. you wanted to give her what she wanted. so that's why the why they , in their why the why they, in their desperation turn . dr. hicks, who desperation turn. dr. hicks, who was selling babies out of his clinic and it goes without saying he was breaking law doing this . well, this was what makes this. well, this was what makes this. well, this was what makes this transaction what makes it illegal is that there is no buned illegal is that there is no buried a file for the adoption. so it basically he was taking cash or check for a baby and giving them a birth certificate that didn't have the birth family document. it didn't have a birth family birth certificate so that if someone needed to go

back and find for medical purposes for historical purposes or just purposes for historical purposes orjust because purposes for historical purposes or just because that's their there was absolutely nothing that was filed or buried . that was filed or buried. someone could go back and check to see , you know, to check with to see, you know, to check with the birth . so for me , i want the birth. so for me, i want this. yeah. go, go on. apologies oh, no, no. that's all right. you know, one of the things that makes us actually think one of the worst things about this that, know, i know hicks that, you know, i know hicks babies and other people that i've helped in the past with their adoption searches that needed information . and needed medical information. and because was cut off and was because this was cut off and was done illegally , they had done illegally, they had absolutely no way to get their medical information in some circumstances. was threatening. so for doe told me the doctor thomas hicks can just assume this was a for business him, that he was unscrupulous here. he wasn't exactly offering a pubuc he wasn't exactly offering a public service. he was profiting . is that fair to say ? i will go . is that fair to say? i will go

in with that. he was a businessman. and, you know, i've said to many people over the years because they ask me all the time, you know, what do you think of dr. hicks? and have always said pretty much the same thing. and that is that i think that if he alive today that that if he were alive today that he i would sitting down, he and i would be sitting down, we talking, maybe over we would be talking, maybe over a beer and i would be asking the hard questions and he would be answering because i don't think that thought he did anything that he thought he did anything wrong so really mean. wrong. so it's really mean. everyone's experience with doctor , you know, is . was doctor, you know, is. was different it was personal but i don't know it's just really to sum up who dr. hicks was because he had so many different is very complicated man. but yes, he was a businessman. he was a very good business man. he was probably one of right, not notwithstanding his ethics or otherwise, one big problem was bureaucratic and logistical and they have the paperwork it made

it harder for you to out your story . so how old were you when story. so how old were you when you discovered that you'd been handed away at birth? how old were you? and what were the when you found out ? well, i was very you found out? well, i was very , you know, and i detail all of this in my book, but at years old, my parents brought us my sister i because my sister was bought from the hicks clinic as well. she and i weren't related dana wise, but we were bought from the same place and raised together . they brought from the same place and raised together. they brought us in and told us what was because kids , told us what was because kids, the playground had said to my sister and had called us black babies and of course we didn't know what adoption was. we had never had any experience with that. and we were both very young, but we also really didn't know what black market babies were. for kids to be calling were. and for kids to be calling us that , i think it impacted my us that, i think it impacted my sister michelle more because she was ten. i just wanted to get

out of the uncomfortable ness of the moment and go out and play. but my sister was very i mean, my sister was standing there just bawling. i mean, there was nothing , you know, that she nothing, you know, that she totally didn't understand it in my as my were trying to explain it. i mean, how do you explain what a black baby is to a six and a ten year old? do you judge your step parents for having bought you. i know that they were good parents. you bear them any ill will, but do you judge them for decision? and was it them for decision? and was it the wrong thing to do on their part ? well you said, you know, part? well you said, you know, i love them. i judge them. there's no not no animosity there. but when you love something and you're desperate and you want to have a baby, you still responsibilities . and i feel responsibilities. and i feel a lot of disappointment that that information wasn't given to me and that i had to spend my entire life trying to find it. and it was my birthright my medical information . that's my

medical information. that's my right to have my historical who my family was. right to have my historical who my family was . that's my right. my family was. that's my right. that's everybody's . so, yeah , it that's everybody's. so, yeah, it was a bit disappointing and it was a bit disappointing and it was more to say, i'm just going to tell the way i feel. and that is that it was wrong and it shouldn't have been the way that it was. they had a responsible party to a step further and party to go a step further and get my information, and they did it. jane, what have you since discovered birth discovered about your birth parents, anything . well, as i parents, if anything. well, as i said, it's detailed the book because it's such a conduit. you have to my you . yeah. my viewers have to my you. yeah. my viewers have to my you. yeah. my viewers have got read the book because i've been looking through highlights. it's extraordinary stuff. it's more extraordinary than any movie, but i mean, do what? without giving the story away, do you want to hand over any clues as to what you found out ? well, i will. i will tell out? well, i will. i will tell you that, you know, god knows , you that, you know, god knows, what he's doing. and he did connect me with both sides of my birth family. and i absolutely love them. and i think that it's

just been it's been a fabulous journey . it's had its ups and journey. it's had its ups and downs and there's been in some there's been a lot tears, a lot of heartbreak. but there's also been just a great end to this chapter in my life. and very thankful for it. so but, you know, i to say go for it. go ahead. know, i to say go for it. go ahead . know what you want to ahead. know what you want to say? i care about what i want to say? i care about what i want to say that my story is not different than anybody else's story. and i was one of 200 plus, you know , we're projecting plus, you know, we're projecting 200 plus other babies that were sold to the akron, ohio area. my story is not any different than anybody else's. nobody likes to be lied to. nobody likes to be told that they can't have what their right who they are . no one their right who they are. no one likes to have things stolen from them. and so no different than anyone else . but i will tell any anyone else. but i will tell any one. and they asked me what when , suggestions or recommendations i learned very early on that i

don't like being told no . and i don't like being told no. and i think that if you can just wrap your head around the tenacity and getting the answers to any questions you have in life, then you'll be good. and i think that's how my ends , that that's how my story ends, that i embrace that not accepting. no and just going for it and trying to get all of my answers. jane, you're an amazing and congratulations on what you've achieved in your journey. thank achieved in yourjourney. thank you for telling us your amazing story. i would urge viewers to download via kindle or purchase a copy of taken at birth by jane glasgow. it's out now and there you go , a story. how do you you go, a story. how do you follow that? well, we've got the papers hot off the press . next. papers hot off the press. next. see you into .

you've witnessed on the show tonight the opposite from gerry just the usual bunkum . but we just the usual bunkum. but we love it we him cuz listen let's let's go straight to you gerry. if i may and this is perhaps for many the most egregious aspect of these revelations . the proud of these revelations. the proud boast that harry killed 25 taliban. apparently this is against the code, the unspoken . against the code, the unspoken. well, of course you don't do it . of course you don't . it's . of course you don't. it's anyone who's been in the military that doesn't say, let alone boast that they've killed anyone at all, because it's nothing to be proud of it. she had a job. it happened you don't do it he's put royal family at risk. he's put himself at risk. he's put his calling at risk. and he just like an opportunist . can i just say one more quick thing that i work these days at fairly frequent intervals with afghan refugees and there are

afghans remaining in tremendous peril in afghanistan don who have worked for the british army and work for british charities . and work for british charities. and this will not help them either . i and this will not help them either. i mean, it's very serious profound misjudgement isn't it because a we can debate till the cows come home whether he should slag off his brother and his dad. yeah but this human right this and it looks like he's put his foot in it and lost. the one great thing about harry was his war record and even that has been tarnished. yeah yeah, well, he just doesn't know when to keep quiet honesty is ridiculous. he should just sort . that's a sacred sort. that's sort of a sacred part of his life that a lot of people that he should never have gone there with is really dangerous and so disrespectful to leave works in publishing a long time he's trying to deliver some bang his buck isn't he. yes he's trying to give the publishers a bit of red meat . he publishers a bit of red meat. he is. he is. it's trying to be sensational ization isn't that it may most is and let's have another look at a really really

can we can we setting up. yeah please can we talk about the model up to the fashion industry iused model up to the fashion industry i used to work in fact we will come to that. can i just get a quick line from you on the daily telegraph and harry ambush harmed queen's health. i mean this this would be a very damaging what is its that's an old story. well the idea that oh 15 who we spent weeks mourning the passing of the idea that this kept her awake at night she the book was coming another shocker from harry what all for is grandma you know it's just he's always talking about how much he loves his family what about his grandma is grandfather had just passed away . yeah. had just passed away. yeah. knowing that all of this was going down and it was it's horrendous . going down and it was it's horrendous. he going down and it was it's horrendous . he should have at horrendous. he should have at least kept really quiet until passed away. yeah, it's protector. yeah. how often do . protector. yeah. how often do. oh, there's loads of stuff . i oh, there's loads of stuff. i would never tell an elder relative to protect them because

they get nervous don't you think. do you . you can feel think. do you. you can feel tremendous sympathy for him and actually i do , i have no we actually i do, i have no we haven't read the book but i do intend reading it as quickly as i can. you can, you can sense raw pain coming through this but that doesn't make him narcissistic doesn't make him into some kind of hero . it makes into some kind of hero. it makes him into a flawed individual that hasn't got his finger the edit button at all. and that's a problem. he spent all of his life rightly grieving his mother and grieving his mother because of the intrusion of the press. and once now intrudes on people's private lives. what is that gerry is that he doesn't seem to have anyone looking out for him. protect no, no, i think that's someone just so. i think that's someone just so. i think that's a shame. shut up. that would be his wife. you think to. have you been drinking ? but. oh, have you been drinking? but. oh, yeah , i tell . oh oh, she's

yeah, i tell. oh oh, she's definitely we. we'd all like a bit of gerry's who you know i don't think anyone i read the robert lacey as well about the two brothers and that really sets the scene i thought that would be a significant book because robert lacey's a very significant writer, but he almost up whole premise almost sets up the whole premise about heir and the spare about the heir and the spare when you read that, but you get a sense the fact that i don't think supported enough think harry was supported enough from the moment of diana's from from the moment of diana's death right the through his death right the way through his teenage years. i don't think that that that he was supported in those years. but we know when he died, what i think we do . i he died, what i think we do. i think we do him. so i think but yes, i that that's probably true. but, you know, boo hoo. i feel with all his millions how much did inherit 30 according to my friend eve pollard 20 million from his mum and about another 12 from the queen mother. well, it's a shabby amount of money is it? i'd be like, oh, and to the bahamas, you know , these people

bahamas, you know, these people have absolute privilege. yes, i'm sure that he did suffer. i'm sorry. he lost his mum. it's awful , but terrible sorry. he lost his mum. it's awful, but terrible things happen. look the people in afghanistan . oh, i know it's afghanistan. oh, i know it's awful. the people looking today in the ukraine, there are far more stories just because some other people are worse off doesn't negate the fact that he should have been given more support. there was point in putting a 12 year old boy behind the coffin of dying from luke miall that was barbaric well, that there's another way of looking at and it's the grieving so. no, no. yeah i didn't like it and it was horrible as far as i could, but it may have been part of the grieving. maybe that's what prince wants. who could blame this lad for being angry? if you think about it. he's angry. there's anger and anger isn't there? yeah, well, yes, that's true . long does the yes, that's true. long does the anger last . yes, that's true. long does the anger last. it can last a lifetime. oh, james. oh, the people who love you . i think people who love you. i think they do love him. yeah i think it. but i think the anger can a lifetime i think that's the true

last lifetime and. what's sad is it's very self—destructive to look very very sad we're going to come back to that. we're also going some other going to get through some other really stories all three way really big stories all three way relationships . the future. oh relationships. the future. oh thatis relationships. the future. oh that is so selfish. lizzie is not happy that. no, i'm not also is binge watching spoiling the television experience . we're television experience. we're going to get to those two other big stories. the key diet. does it work ? and is the model it work? and is the model standing up to the fashion industry something that lizzie is very keen to talk about, as am i. so big stories to get through. don't go anywhere. see you .
