3:07 pm
mistruth by writing the truth in one place. or, of course paying somebody else to do it . and one somebody else to do it. and one of the more shocking claims, harry told the 60 minutes on the cbs network that he thought camilla, the queen consort role , became damaging the family , became damaging to the family . that made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the british there was british press. and there was open willingness on sides to trade of information and with a family built on hierarchy and with her on the way to being queen, consort there was going to be people or , bodies left in to be people or, bodies left in the street because of that . is the street because of that. is it damage poisoning? we've been asking people in sutton coldfield and the west midlands because we know whether they have any sympathy for prince harry. well, he was struggling with and everything and there's him all playing victim or is suffering this state. you're not suffering. you literally have got everything and you've got a lot of money in the bank and that's it. you don't need to worry about anything else. just
3:08 pm
focus on your family and that's it. think it's it. i just think it's unfortunate situation to be honest, i think i really like honest, i think i really do like prince harry. think all prince harry. think they all like as well. like prince harry as well. i mean i mean, i like the royal family as but just think family as well, but i just think it's made on both it's mistakes made on both sides. think absolute sides. i think it's an absolute waste of space. and i wish you'd shut up and go away and do us all a favour. do you make all a favour. what do you make about some of the things he's been media been saying recently in media and interviews? to be and in these interviews? to be honest, i'm not the slightest bit interested in him. don't bit interested in him. i don't care he does is not care what he does is not relevant. i wish he'd relevant. i just wish he'd go away get on with away and we could get on with more things in life. i more important things in life. i think you can't have it both ways. if you want privacy and you don't want your children in the then keep the public eye, then keep it that but go to oprah that way. but don't go to oprah winfrey on the tv and write your book say, oh, want book and then say, oh, we want our privacy and to say the things said he's in the things you said when he's in the army you do not do that, do army just you do not do that, do you do you think can you do you think he can reconcile with his now ? reconcile with his family now? now, if he was if he was my brother or my son, i'd say you've burnt your bridges now . you've burnt your bridges now. oh, oh, she's written fancy.
3:09 pm
shut up and go away . to be fair, shut up and go away. to be fair, i must hold my hands up here. i didn't want to seem disparaging to the fat people of such an coalfield. apparently, as i am now learning, it is the royal assistant coalfield. hence why, of course, we decided it was worthwhile the worthwhile hearing from the people and what a wonderful bunch they let's go now to bunch they are. let's go now to is roll reports that cameron walker, us in walker, who is with us in the studio difficult to studio. cameron, difficult to know i mean he's know where to start. i mean he's absolutely loves they're under the bus. i mean , you can say the bus. i mean, you can say that again, although ironically the two us interviews we have seen far, he seems to be slightly more hard on camilla on one of them than the other one. so absence, you just so this absence, which you just played of. yeah that was played a clip of. yeah that was broadcast overnight, 60 minutes, played a clip of. yeah that was b|popular overnight, 60 minutes, played a clip of. yeah that was b|popular usernight, 60 minutes, played a clip of. yeah that was b|popular us tv ght, 60 minutes, played a clip of. yeah that was b|popular us tv show»0 minutes, played a clip of. yeah that was b|popular us tv show of minutes, played a clip of. yeah that was b|popular us tv show of the jtes, played a clip of. yeah that was b|popular us tv show of the she a popular us tv show of the she he prince harry branded camilla as a dangerous do to her for forging connections with the british press to improve her image. that's the allegation. prince harry friends to a villain as well and also said that she they hope she he feared
3:10 pm
that she they hope she he feared that she they hope she he feared that she would be a wicked when it was clear that she was going to marry his father. the then prince now king, of course . but prince now king, of course. but then with the gma interview was broadcast around midday uk time . he actually said she has a huge amounts of compassion for camilla and the reason being is he says and i quote whatever conversations , whatever deals or conversations, whatever deals or trading was made right at the beginning, she was led to believe that that would be the best way of doing it, which is, you know, a real kind of contradiction. but clearly, i think prince is almost like he's massively up . down, isn't it? massively up. down, isn't it? yeah i think it weakens the arguments because there's inconsistencies between how he genuinely feels . yeah, i know genuinely feels. yeah, i know exactly that. exactly. well he did also say a bit about unconscious bias in the royal family didn't say he said a couple of bits and bobs so this is the tom bradby and that was last night wasn't he obviously i'm yet to be told whether or not i mean, what i was going
3:11 pm
about it but of course i am in the netflix harry and meghan documentary everyone i documentary sorry everyone i to bnng so documentary sorry everyone i to bring so what did bring it up anyway. so what did he in that what was the he say in that what was the latest line that he obviously is like is loved under the like is loved camilla under the bus. is he brought up bus. what else is he brought up now? then it was it was now? then well, it was it was fascinating, really, because he claims accused or meghan claims he accused or meghan never unnamed member never accused an unnamed member of royal family of racism. if remember, patrick, remember, back in 2021, patrick, the interview the oprah winfrey interview meghan made the allegation that an unnamed member royal an unnamed member of the royal family questions what colour archie's son's skin would be when he was born . then prince when he was born. then prince harry made allegation last night dunng harry made allegation last night during the itv interview that it was the media he made up the racism tab. yeah. which is a bit like saying you know if you shoot someone and they fall out of a window right. and he go it wasn't me who killed them. it wasn't me who killed them. it was bullets in the full was the bullets in the full right. he said he doesn't really that there. that he sat there. the implication meghan was implication that meghan was doing which he's doing quite clearly which he's sat next to was that that was a royal racist anyway so royal racist in my anyway so from prince harry's argument he says unconscious
3:12 pm
says that it was unconscious bias not racism but. if you remember back to that the queen was to release a statement saying recollections may vary. prince william , even doorsteps prince william, even doorsteps by journalists , was shouted at by journalists, was shouted at by journalists, was shouted at by journalists, was shouted at by journalists , saying, is the by journalists, saying, is the royal family a racist family to which prince william pretty clearly turned around and said, we are not very much a racist family . there was no correct of family. there was no correct of the record by the sussex camp at that moment time to say it wasn't racism , it was wasn't racism, it was unconscious bias. they only said that it wasn't the queen or prince philip who made that comment ? the whites only comment? the whites only corrects it. two years later . corrects it. two years later. and also, to be honest , you i and also, to be honest, you i think this is wordplay he did also say we're going to return to this by the way at half past the something will pick up then think it was actually quite a stellar i've read this morning it must have come out last night about he when he spoke about him when he when he spoke to about or not he to the queen about or not he should marry meghan permission. i think she said something along
3:13 pm
the suppose to the lines i suppose i have to say yes, which not exactly say yes, which is not exactly a ringing is and i ringing endorsement is it? and i think maybe the queen. yes. again, right. anyway, again, had. right. anyway, cameron, much cameron, thank you very much kind walk royal reporter cameron, thank you very much kind gotalk royal reporter cameron, thank you very much kind gotalk moreal reporter cameron, thank you very much kind gotalk more coming er . i've got loads more coming your like i said, i am this your way. like i said, i am this at half past. get your emails coming in thick fast as coming in thick and fast as even coming in thick and fast as ever. look, i know we're all set. is an set. gary but it is an absolutely massive story. and if you've honest with you've been honest with ourselves, are all talking about it. have to cover it as it. so we have to cover it as well. vaiews@gbnews.uk now, this unite union, this afternoon, the unite union, which nhs which represents some of the nhs health workers, has called talks with as with the government an insult as chief negotiatorjohnny with the government an insult as chief negotiator johnny carson claimed the home secretary sorry, health secretary steve barclay told them they need to justify a payment through their productivity. now been a day of talks with union bosses the government and it's fair to say it's the health it's not going well. the health secretary met health as well, including royal college including the royal college nursing, the chance of nursing, which put the chance of strikes being called off less than 50% teaching unions holding talks with the education secretary. gillian keegan ahead of announcements this week over
3:14 pm
whether their members will go on strike and. rail minister hugh merriman called in train workers in downing street as well, saying it will always encourage trade unions call off planned strikes amid discussions between trade unions. mr. basically talks across multiple fronts. none of them have gone . well, none of them have gone. well, people let's cross live now to westminster and speak to our political editor. darren mccaffrey was latest . mccaffrey darran was latest. well the least those are the strikes are on patrick is the bottom line it looks there has been no breakthrough today and we didn't really expect an actual breakthrough, but we thought things get a little bit better terms of the relations better in terms of the relations between the unions and the government. anything, government. if anything, according one union. according to at least one union. they have gone backwards. and so i looking at that i think we all looking at that strike a little later on strike again a little later on this month on the 18th the 19th of january. now why is all of this? why are the unions again angry, given the fact that the government did at least open the prospect of pay, negotiate afions prospect of pay, negotiate ations with this suggestion ,
3:15 pm
ations with this suggestion, that it could be a one off payments , particularly to payments, particularly to nurses? well this idea that it would have to be linked to productivity, patrick nurses and other health professionals have argued they've worked hard over the couple of during the last couple of years during the last couple of years during the since that the the pandemic and since that the nhs they're doing nhs is in that they're doing more hours , they're rostered for more hours, they're rostered for that cannot be any more that they cannot be any more productive that's why they , productive and that's why they, the governments link to these two things as insult from the two things as an insult from the government point of view . they government point of view. they say open to these say they're open to these negotiations , hence they are negotiations, hence why they are now talking to the unions. and it's not just steve barclay, the health but also health secretary, but also education the education secretary and the transport secretary who involved in talks with today. and there is a sense that the government, at least willing kind of publicly to suggest that they understand that pay is a key issue in all of this and that they are willing to broach that box . there is still this box. there is still this enormous gap, isn't there, between the unions and the health professionals and all this . what we're likely to hear this. what we're likely to hear from steve barclay, the health secretary oh, oh, we lost
3:16 pm
darren. and there we go. so the latest lines as well as what darren was saying, i'll just build on that that to not consider a one off payment to nurses transport case. it looks basically it's gone particularly well has it and i can't help but wonder is what they've said to him of it. now please come and chat to us please get your very different members. the government's answer government's coming to answer was then was no they have. and then predictably out predictably people have come out and it stops the and go well, it stops the catastrophe. looks it's catastrophe. it looks as if it's still way off, the strikes are still way off, the strikes are still on. and i can't help but wonder. well, when it comes to things nhs, is it an things like in the nhs, is it an unpopular opinion or unfashionable a better unfashionable would be a better word. unfashionable word. it an unfashionable opinion actually the opinion to say that actually the nhs particularly and nhs isn't particularly and people have to justify people should have to justify exactly they not exactly what they do, not necessarily people. the necessarily the people. the lower end the no lower end of the scale. no nurses, drivers, nurses, no ambulance drivers, paramedics such. we all know paramedics and such. we all know that they work very but that they work very hard. but what director lived what on earth is director lived experience and why we paying experience and why are we paying hundred and 50 grand a year for it? gbnews.uk former it? gb views gbnews.uk former health secretary doel health secretary steven doel joins now. good stuff, steven, that we are . there so
3:17 pm
that we are. there we go. so what do make of the rather what do you make of the rather predictably talks have broken down? well i think you played a clip from one of the unison officials . i understand this . officials. i understand this. excuse me. i'm not great a the i understand there's also been some briefing from other parts of the side of these discussions , which offers a slightly more mixed view. but i don't think i think the government is entitled actually to some credit for moving position so that it is talking about pay. i welcome that i don't see how you resolve the pay dispute without talking. the government does recognise andifs the government does recognise and it's not unreasonable when you're talking about for an employer to ask . but what is the employer to ask. but what is the organisation going to get in return for movement on pay? and that's the discussion and i think that is now going on. can i ask do you have any idea what the latest is on pay? because because they've said it wants to
3:18 pm
talk about it doesn't necessarily mean they're actually and they might necessarily mean they're actua said and they might necessarily mean they're actua said to and they might necessarily mean they're actua said to someone they might necessarily mean they're actua said to someone that might necessarily mean they're actua said to someone that to ght necessarily mean they're actua said to someone that to say have said to someone that to say we're not going to give you any more pay. well we don't know. i mean, more official mean, i have no more official knowledge you do patrick, knowledge than you do patrick, but i can read the newspapers and i the newspapers channels such have been such as yours have been reporting now for some weeks, actually . is that barclay actually. is that steve barclay has been wanting to put additional money on the table as being prevented before christmas from doing that by the treasury and the prime minister is now told the treasury that this the health secretary needs to have something to say when he goes into the room with the health union. so i think what we're seeing slow progress . yeah your seeing slow progress. yeah your name is darren said we nobody imagined this was all going to be settled in a single session. i do that there is some sign of progress now . i think there's progress now. i think there's quite a lot of self entitlement when it comes to various
3:19 pm
different elements in the medical profession . and i wonder medical profession. and i wonder whether or not we're seeing right now the idea that health secretary , during negotiations secretary, during negotiations about paying conditions will raise question of productivity for service that has got record levels of funding in this country anyway. and continues to i think everyone would argue, under—perform. i but that is an affront . i under—perform. i but that is an affront. i mean, is this just them onto the idea of the nhs is a sacred cow. what they want is loads of money, no scrutiny whatsoever . yeah. i loads of money, no scrutiny whatsoever. yeah. i mean that's often said i don't actually that's true of more than a very tiny minority . that's true of more than a very tiny minority. i agree that's true of more than a very tiny minority . i agree with wes tiny minority. i agree with wes streeting actually the labour health spokesman who makes it clear that the nhs needs to be not a shrine as an organisation, it needs to perform, it needs to demonstrate that it's keeping itself to date. now the health service of course is a vast organisation and there will always be bits of it that are
3:20 pm
performing better than. but in general the proposition that the health service needs to change is something is going on all the time . it's not new, it's not time. it's not new, it's not something that needs to start suddenly today . what we need to suddenly today. what we need to do is to talk about the changes that are where we have the opportunity using digital and new techniques . so where we have new techniques. so where we have the opportunity to deliver better health care for the same amount of money and. that's the conversation that needs take place between . the government place between. the government and the health service organisations and the clinicians representatives, the professional staff , representatives, the professional staff, yeah. now obviously the noises out of the health union unite and that's because of a set some of these members are working 18 hour shifts. i'm just reading this now and it is an insult to discuss their productivity. now we always keep hearing this is not just pay, it's about pay and working , which involves working, which involves recruitment . retention. well, recruitment. retention. well, they're not going get any more
3:21 pm
recruitment or retention if they telling everyone it's an absolutely horrible to work that let's be honest with you. but do you actually it is just you actually think it is just all pay? do think that all about pay? do you think that if they get decent rise if they get a decent pay rise all their issues with these all of their issues with these long might just magically long hours might just magically go away? no, i absolutely don't. i i've i've said ever i think i've all i've said ever since this present phase started, that it's to imagine you can these issues without . you can these issues without. oh, i think we've lost them as well . so bad oh, i think we've lost them as well. so bad day for the guest, isn't it ? dole, the former isn't it? dole, the former health secretary rise. okay, you're with me. patrick christys on gb news. coming up, sort of shocking have revealed when shocking have been revealed when it to the amounts of money it comes to the amounts of money some mp has from second jobs. it's quite controversial. this. i'm not necessarily against it, by the way, as millions . theresa by the way, as millions. theresa may as well made two and a half million quid opponent. they go £2.5 million on top of her parliamentary. you imagine parliamentary. can you imagine paying parliamentary. can you imagine paying for an after dinner speech by theresa may if you like a bedtime wouldn't it one
3:22 pm
of the naf ones anyway before thatis of the naf ones anyway before that is you whether .
3:23 pm
3:24 pm
3:25 pm
or welcome back everybody. now some george figures for you so it's come to light just how much mps ? mostly tories, it's fair to mps? mostly tories, it's fair to say kind of earn from their second jobs. so let's it on. this is a lot more that they can in parliament. so since the 2019 election, collectively employees have earned . £17.1 million from have earned. £17.1 million from their second jobs, with over have earned. £17.1 million from their second jobs, with ove r £50 their second jobs, with over £50 million of that being pocketed by the tories. million of that being pocketed by the tories million went by the tories. £1.2 million went to mp . what does that to labour mp. what does that tell you? i'm the remaining £300,000 was banked by the lib dems and smp . right. so the dems and smp. right. so the highest earner of them all get
3:26 pm
this was that woman. you can say your screen now have you watching on the telly. former prime minister, former secretary theresa is taking home an theresa may is taking home an astonishing two and a half million quid from speeches and talks . i would pay her that to talks. i would pay her that to not talk anyway . unsurprisingly, not talk anyway. unsurprisingly, bofis not talk anyway. unsurprisingly, boris johnson was also of that houri boris johnson was also of that hour i thought i'd be more, but i'm sure calling in, taking over £1 million in speeches over the last three months alone. also receiving gifts. you love it . receiving gifts. you love it. gifts of flights and accommodation from rupert murdoch. anyway well, joining me now is gb news is political correspondent tom harwood us. tom as a man who's not shy of, earning a few quid himself elsewhere as , well, what do you elsewhere as, well, what do you make of all of this ? well, make of all of this? well, there's ways to look at this, patrick. of course, we are seeing these big they are over a course , a number of years of course, a number of years of course, a number of years of course since 2019. and that cumulative of total that msps have earned in outside earnings
3:27 pm
and to be fair to some mps who i've been speaking to in parliament today, some are a little bit miffed that they're conflating different things. this database, for example , the this database, for example, the very legitimate earnings of, for example, an mp giving, an after dinner speech and earning some money from that that's thrown in with the same sort of database as mps who perhaps as a doctor or a nurse and earn some money from that on the mps who might run their own business as well . run their own business as well. some who practise as lawyers . some who practise as lawyers. geoffrey cox of course, the second highest earning mp in this period, works as a very distinguished case. and that's thrown in together with some of the donations mps have received for. campaigning, for example , for. campaigning, for example, various companies and trade have donated to employees as well, and that's thrown in with the earnings. so to some extent , earnings. so to some extent, this is a bit of a muddled picture here because you only get one number and some employees i've been speaking to today have been a little bit
3:28 pm
miffed, say that this miffed, i should say that this database sort of presumes them to this income when some of them really don't. so i thought thought this is a good story. is it good? so because it is a good talking point. a lot of now at home will be thinking, well, is it ryde mp someone to the job? should they be devoting their entire to serving their entire time to serving their people parliamentary will people to parliamentary? will their there's their focus be? but then there's other people . i must admit i'm other people. i must admit i'm one these people who think one of these people who think so. is not so. you know, which is not a particularly amy and this is not a particularly career. if we want to attract very best and the brightest. tom the very best and the brightest you do want to incentivise them and a lot of the people you might want the people that you might want in could probably in parliament could probably earn a bow in the city if earn half a bow in the city if they decided so shouldn't they decided to. so shouldn't they decided to. so shouldn't they and earn a they be allowed to go and earn a bit across elsewhere ? well, bit across elsewhere? well, there's one argument to say that a former prime minister of the fifth richest economy in the world of a country is the united kingdom . a former prime minister kingdom. a former prime minister of that country , only earning
3:29 pm
of that country, only earning two and a half million pounds the course of three and a bit years is quite low. if you were to divide that, that's less than a million a year for the former minister of this country. some people might say that that's really quite low compared to what former presidents of the united states go off and earn. so compared what former leaders of important go off and of other important go off and do. in fact . if you had to take do. in fact. if you had to take this entire total a few tens of millions going to mps for campaigning and winning their seats and indeed all the rest of it over the course of this number of years compare that to some small congressional in the united states of america and it doesn't bear thinking there is to some extent a lot less money in british politic than some other big important countries like . oh home is still there, i like. oh home is still there, i believe, because stuff yes, we lost interest because that's countries. so the of the money is one thing i don't begrudge anyone of wonga anyone earning bit of wonga elsewhere stuff and i think elsewhere is stuff and i think it shows business acumen it's no
3:30 pm
surprise it seems to the surprise it seems to be more the tories the labour party are going in. but it going to get in. but when it comes to honesty, the ability to do job will know this do that job you will know this you pound corridors you you pound the corridors of westminster are political westminster you are political beast tom harwood can you be a dedicated mp and have another . dedicated mp and have another. job so there are two schools of thought on and they really revolve around what it is to be an mp the labour party proposed an mp the labour party proposed a ban on second jobs but it's very hard when you get into the details of what that means, what that would actually encompass of course to some extent the role an mp and i asked sir keir starmer last year would for example , employees who write example, employees who write books. there's the labour mp chris bryant. he's written number of books during his time as an mp would would an mp hosting television show. of hosting a television show. of course esther mcvey and philip davies show on news. davies host the show on gb news. or indeed david, the labour mp hosts a show on lbc is that a
3:31 pm
legitimate to do alongside the role of an mp and to some extent the labour party's ban on second jobs wouldn't encompass that kind work, even though it's clearly work it's work on top of being an mp. but to some extent this work can enhance role of an mp. maria golf caulfield, the health she works part health minister, she works part time a nurse, as well as time as a nurse, as well as being a health minister. many people argue enhances people would argue that enhances her role as an and of her role as an mp. and of course, if think about what mp is actually do what about rishi sunak? what about james cleverly what about ? jeremy hunt these what about? jeremy hunt these people who these are people who focussed mainly on being the prime minister, the foreign secretary of secretary or the chancellor of the exchequer , and to being the exchequer, and to them being an is second job by virtue of an mp is second job by virtue of being the cabinet as being in the cabinet as committee chairman as well . if committee chairman as well. if you're of the treasury you're chairman of the treasury committee, if chairman of the transport committee , that takes transport committee, that takes up huge of your time up a huge amount of your time and being an mp to some extent part that as well . so part time on that as well. so it's really complicated it's a really complicated picture many could picture. many ways you could argue, ignoring outside earnings even within structures of even within the structures of government and parliament. these
3:32 pm
people, many of them see the role of being simply a backbencher mp as , a part time backbencher mp as, a part time role compared to all of their other political duties as yes, i'm sorry, tom, thank very, very much. tom harwood that our political guru himself outside westminster was just reacting to news that has broken off, not just about employees who've got second jobs, but how much they earn. theresa may, former prime minister a half minister course, two and a half million quid last couple of million quid over last couple of years. i think many she years. yeah i think to many she would look that's a lot of money. that is a huge amount of money. that is a huge amount of money to be if money actually. to be fair, if she wanted to i suppose she really wanted to i suppose she really wanted to i suppose she have called an even she could have called it an even more varied problem as you wouldn't to actually listen wouldn't pay to actually listen to are you. to at all. what are you. although people ask it, although some people ask it, what two and what people are paid is two and a million quid, which a half million quid, which i find absolutely bonkers. but there we go anyway. labour's ban on of course the on second jobs of course is the only reason diane abbott is only reason why diane abbott is not hosting countdown anyway. you're me christys you're with me patrick christys on up is the on gb news coming up is the relationship between prince harry and the rest of the royal family good? family now broken for good? he's made damaging made more damaging about the

3:39 pm
where i had to leave my country. this status quo in. tonally, they feel as it's better to keep us somehow as the villains opposed to i genuinely believe and i hope that reconciliation between my family and will have a ripple effect across the entire world. maybe that's lofty, maybe that's naive. whatever but i genuinely feel that , okay , look, whatever but i genuinely feel that, okay , look, there's a lot that, okay, look, there's a lot to get stuck into from that prince harry interview , but is prince harry interview, but is there any chance of resolving tensions with the palace? i am now by behavioural psychologist joe hemmings and the wonderful etiquette and behaviour expert liz brewer. liz oh, start with you . i just want to say we were you. i just want to say we were discussing a little bit of our before we get into the old behavioural psychology element of all of this stuff. and it's not a shock you is it? the queen maybe didn't exactly give a ringing endorsement of, harry marrying meghan . remember saying marrying meghan. remember saying that. marrying meghan. remember saying that . you know , the question is
3:40 pm
that. you know, the question is what happens from now? where do we go from here ? you know, i we go from here? you know, i watched i watched a bit of this last night . watched i watched a bit of this last night. then i have to admit, i fell asleep . but i did admit, i fell asleep. but i did . and watch. and what i saw was, you know, the 38 you're all two young men, the 38 year olds who are still sort of grown up . this are still sort of grown up. this one is still a child but here we are , great britain. we still are, great britain. we still hope we are great. and the church of england. and what believe in if we're members of the church in england is . the church in england is. forgiveness. yeah. and so to move forward here we have to think well forgive with harry you see somebody actually now and i did know him many years ago i was helping with walking with wounded and he was a nice young man he's changed i think all this therapy has not achieved the goal it's actually sent him sideways well and it's
3:41 pm
all this jargon it is coming out with so is it for the royal family the royal family are doing the right thing they just brushing it aside with harry. what harry to do is be a man. he's got to grow up. stop throwing his toys out of the car and he's got to start forgiving. put the past and he's he's saying forgiveness is 100% possible. i mean, he's after an apology, joe, i'll bring you in. i can't help but wonder whether or not the apology that harry wants. he's not from family is from god for being born second, isn't it ? well, he's not going isn't it? well, he's not going to get any kind of an apology total. yes. he's obviously completely still overwhelmed and traumatised . his death . he's now traumatised. his death. he's now admitted with the press livid , admitted with the press livid, with the royal family he's full of anger, defence models, thoughts, i mean , you wouldn't thoughts, i mean, you wouldn't hear any families if you want some of reconciliation that go
3:42 pm
on telly or you write a book or you do documentaries basically spending all the time secrets and then somehow it's delusional . it's not naive, lofty it's bizarre . you would not then bizarre. you would not then expect any way, shape or form that they would suddenly open up and say, hey, i we know what you're saying, and say, hey, i we know what you're saying , let's and say, hey, i we know what you're saying, let's make up and it will be good. it's just neven it will be good. it's just never, ever going to happen. no, it's not. joe, i'll sit with you before i return this side of this. and when you look at prince harry. see, in quantum damage . yeah, i'm seeing a who damage. yeah, i'm seeing a who seriously troubled he's confused about what he's saying contradicts himself a lot noficed contradicts himself a lot noticed tom we pulled him out on many times . he said he didn't many times. he said he didn't really seem to have an answer. this is right it's got a lot of has lot of therapy you can hear it in his in the way he speaks using phrases we just heard like
3:43 pm
narrative using like catharsis you know he's have a lot of therapy and the problem is he doesn't seem to be able to find any clues or solace but many so now why is moving forward with his own family, his wife , the his own family, his wife, the children and learn to if he's processing it he's got at least some of this online and moving forward not expecting accountability in the letter because he read she's got involved i mean if he has art therapy it's not words does you know what's so sad is it's not a question of apology it's him getting his values right you're the most important thing in life is family you know people get married people get divorced they move on. children are with you forever . but it's move on. children are with you forever. but it's family. move on. children are with you forever. but it's family . and at forever. but it's family. and at the end of the day in ten years time, 20 years time, he will regret this. i know he will. and, you know , if he goes on as and, you know, if he goes on as he is , you won't have the family he is, you won't have the family there . and will hurt him for
3:44 pm
there. and will hurt him for rest of his life . and i actually rest of his life. and i actually i know this. i know what happens . you you you break up with the sibling. and then ten years later , finally, you make up and later, finally, you make up and you've ten years that's what people say it. you hear people say that a lot about, you know, fathers and as well where unfortunately , you know, it's unfortunately, you know, it's right up until whether on their deathbed is something anything actually, you know , we've wasted actually, you know, we've wasted 20 years, 30 years. and you hope that that hasn't happened . joe, that that hasn't happened. joe, will harry be getting anything out of this now? oh, we now, living harry's therapy is him just sticking two fingers up to his family and better about it, because surely lot of people would have said harry, you know, you've got to leave this now, joe. i think there's lot of self—analysis going , but there's self—analysis going, but there's very little self—awareness coming out of it. very little self—awareness coming out of it . so i think he coming out of it. so i think he will probably stop soon. he's obviously now been all for his
3:45 pm
to make sure he a lot of pr around the new book and he's obuged around the new book and he's obliged to do it but however i get the feeling he's tired of it. i even think he's aware so much of what he's actually saying or his expectations are , saying or his expectations are, you know , mad, all that . it's you know, mad, all that. it's irony. it's much the letting all the family secrets out while still wanting his own privacy. he's his self—awareness seems to be very low. i do . i must say i be very low. i do. i must say i am . i am actually at the point am. i am actually at the point of genuine confusion with this now where i'm not well do you actually want relationship with your family ? is he playing some your family? is he playing some kind of game badly potentially or . is he? kind of game badly potentially or. is he? dare i say it may, be a little bit dim , genuinely a little bit dim, genuinely doesn't genuinely understand. i don't see how could have that little self—awareness but liz and you role as etiquette and behaviour expert how will the
3:46 pm
royal family be looking this now do you see because this is it's just not cricket is it with sadness. you know, if you imagine that your or your brother , your relative and to brother, your relative and to see how he's behaving and realise that he doesn't understand the damage he's doing nothing. nothing's his fault, by the way. so a short list, but nothing is his fault, is it you? he didn't realise that the p word was about. well, everyone knows, the p word is one of the words because he was wrapped privilege. come off it. yeah, but. and it's not just that. it's the fact that as i said 38 years old, he's got a whole ahead of him and he's doing right now so much damage , which right now so much damage, which is to us looks irreparable . and is to us looks irreparable. and i know that that's why it's not just the because the royal believe in that it's because what do you say to somebody whose mind and behaviour has
3:47 pm
been changed to the extent whether it suits therapy whether it's through the woman in his life a great great sadness, great he's damaging. yeah it is it is a shame. i mean you know, at the end of the day , as long at the end of the day, as long as he's happy, that's main thing. but to me , look happy. thing. but to me, look happy. he's not happy. he does not like a happy man anyway , both of you, a happy man anyway, both of you, i could talk to you all day about there's a kind of forgot on the telly. then i should have thought legitimate from judge. thank you very much. fabulous. i got just legs and a very got just legs and that's a very good les brown. lovely good expert. les brown. lovely stuff. i know prince stuff. well, i know prince harry, who harry, though, a former gp who now this a shift in side gear now this is a shift in side gear change people get a change right serious face now a gp who serious face now a former gp who committed offences committed 115 sexual offences against 28 women girls as against 28 women and girls as young as 15 was branded sick and, twisted as he was handed to further life sentences in february 2020. many shah was handed three life sentences with a minimum term of 15 years in
3:48 pm
prison . for offences. that's prison. for offences. that's nine zero by the way, against four women after , two separate four women after, two separate trials is national reporter paul hawkins outside the old bailey , hawkins outside the old bailey, where shah was sentenced earlier today. where shah was sentenced earlier today . this is absolutely today. this is absolutely horrific. what's latest ? yeah is horrific. what's latest? yeah is and it was difficult to hear the victim impact statements in court today manish are 53 years old now former gp he's given two life sentences with a minimum term of ten years for 25 counts of sexual assault against a four women from 2009 to 2013. they were aged from 15 to 34 and essentially what he did was over that period persuaded them to undergo unnecessary surgery and highly intrusive examinations of their genitalia and breasts by manipulate and grooming them , manipulate and grooming them, using their fear of developing cancen using their fear of developing
3:49 pm
cancer. so after the examinations, he would falsify the records to say they had requested those examinations and that in fact, a chaperone had been either suggested or even was present as is mandatory dunng was present as is mandatory during those , when in reality during those, when in reality what he's done is co coerced convinced them into having the examinations which were never necessary at the time. so in court today we had for victim impact statements . the four impact statements. the four women during that we heard dunng women during that we heard during this trial, the first one in her early twenties is when the abuse started , said that she the abuse started, said that she stopped being the social outgoing person overnight when she heard that the police launched this investigation, when she found what had happened to her and she started getting panic attacks . another woman who panic attacks. another woman who was only when the abuse started said that he told her she was his star and, his favourite and would do well in modelling while one warning her she might get cancer as part of a grooming campaign. your actions have haunted me 12 years, she said .
3:50 pm
haunted me 12 years, she said. before the abuse started, she was a confident young girl who was a confident young girl who was naive . and that was just was naive. and that was just some of the details anyway about the fact that shah has now been sentenced. what absolutely sickening and depraved . space sickening and depraved. space offences, really shocking stuff. and of course of our thoughts go out to those victims . right. out to those victims. right. we're moving on from that now . we're moving on from that now. later window for the later today, the window for the first ever satellite launch from uk soil. so the start me up will take off from the new spaceport in cornwall and could pave the way for space flights taking off from the site. let's find out a little bit more about this development now from the uk space industry. joining me is dr. monkey liu, astrophysicist at university of nottingham garland and nottingham. so what's going then? we're sending something off to space. yeah, it's quite exciting because it's to be the first launch from the
3:51 pm
uk it's the first space port in all of actually. so that's another exciting thing that it's essentially a boeing force 747 plane that's been repurposed it's going to carry a rocket and its wing fly off fly all the way to the bottom ireland up to a certain heights at 35,000 feet and then it's going to release certain heights at 35,000 feet rocket to launcher one. and that will launch further up into space before , deploying its space before, deploying its payload its satellites into a low earth orbit. so yeah so that was my next question really, which that what's it doing in space and so the satellites , space and so the satellites, there's various payloads that i think there's ten different satellites on board, including governmental satellite that they do everything from . to looking
3:52 pm
do everything from. to looking at super conductors and all sorts of things. there's a lot of science going on there. yeah, absolutely. mean this is way out of my pay grade. this stuff i must say. i mean, i'm very of anyone who is now astrophysicist because must by definition a because must by definition of a brain size a planet . because must by definition of a brain size a planet. i brain the size of a planet. i clearly not. but how clearly do not. but how significant it that significant is it that is britain ? we always talk about britain? we always talk about british being leading. british being world leading. well, least europe's well, we're at least europe's leading way in this. well, we're at least europe's leading way in this . yeah, leading our way in this. yeah, well, europe leading well, definitely europe leading in this. the uk wants to have a big space presence and we know space is , a very developing space is, a very developing field. this is going be bringing in so much money, our economy, it's going to be creating a new jobs. this the first of many spaceport . what there's going to spaceport. what there's going to be at least six others planned for the uk . the next one's being for the uk. the next one's being in scotland and the being is that these aren't your typical rockets like we see rockets that you have in florida and cape canaveral these launch pads they
3:53 pm
infrastructure for the maintenance and all that kind of stuff . yeah where repair stuff. yeah where repair aeroplanes jumbo jets is that initially and so you can have these space ports where you've got a long enough airport runway essentially . i mean it's essentially. i mean it's fascinating stuff isn't it. and i mean it's incredible as well . i mean it's incredible as well. we're actually the first in europe i suppose is the only one in europe to be doing it. look, thanks very. maggie. maggie, later. who is dr. mcginley saw it astrophysicists at it mostly for astrophysicists at the nottingham, the university of nottingham, the university of nottingham, the get would the gospel that we get would love to go to space is very much on bucket list. i mean, on my bucket list. i mean, there's quite people who there's quite a few people who would to send me that as would like to send me that as well. i imagine a lot of you been getting in touch with your thoughts latest media rounds. thoughts on latest media rounds. good views the gb news good grief gb views the gb news duke says. said duke charlotte says. he said piece to turn piece and now he needs to turn his getting proper his attention. getting proper therapy if. he's to stand any chance of being i really chance of being happy. i really wonder. mean, i have wonder. i mean, i have absolutely sympathy absolutely no sympathy for it, by absolutely not. none
3:54 pm
by the way. absolutely not. none at all. not a lot it, however at all. not a lot of it, however i wonder whether or not he is i do wonder whether or not he is going to sit in. let's going to sit back in. let's a month's time. so the book has been out everyone's , had the been out everyone's, had the chance to read it, to listen to him he reads it him audiobook. he reads it himself. digest himself. apparently and digest it . and then i think i think i'm it. and then i think i think i'm right in saying that meghan may well be releasing something in a few time as well. now, once of thatis few time as well. now, once of that is done and he sits down and realises that even people the left so people i'm seeing on twitter, people who used to be harry fanboys and fangirls now are going actually is too much once all of that is done and he has had in this book his unflinching own words out there completely his own stuff and he realises that he hasn't gone down well, that he has himself to blame, doesn't he because he's done his own pr on this he's done his own pr on this he's done his own pr on this he's done his own media on it. he's it always got someone else to write it anyway, these are his words. he's had his chance to what he thinks about to say what he thinks about everything. people still everything. and if people still don't it , everything. and if people still don't it, can't don't like it, he can't blame people. mean, that kind of
3:55 pm
people. i mean, for that kind of it's himself. anyway, it's just himself. anyway, len says needs decide what says, harry needs to decide what he means by my family when it suits him. his family is the royal family and then rewards the end of the interview. i think i should be towards the end of this interview the phrase change being his family in change to being his family in california obviously still california he obviously still does know where belongs does not know where belongs i think unequivocally prince harry is very, tragic case of is a very, very tragic case of an individual who has no doubt been through a lot. is very damaged. think it's pretty damaged. i think it's pretty clear, isn't it? he's damaged probably a bit lost. needs guidance , needs leadership. i've guidance, needs leadership. i've said it before . i will say said it before. i will say again, i think something incredibly weird how much of his mum, he goes to see the woman they say he's nice to every night. gb views gbnews.uk. keep those years coming and you're with me. patrick christys on gb news. coming up more on the latest claims from prince harry against, the royal family. and it's fair say between union it's fair to say between union bosses and government well, bosses and the government well, they badly . that as they went pretty badly. that as you whether . hello alex deakin you whether. hello alex deakin here with your latest weather

4:07 pm
patrick friday. okay, another day another prince harry thing . i another prince harry thing. i know you all are a bit sick of it, but full disclosure, so am i. but reality is, it's everywhere. it the biggest story in town. and if you're being honest with yourself, you probably are talking about it with your family. so let's crack on before it's even been released. harry's highly released. prince harry's highly anticipated memoir has been making the media. but making waves in the media. but if that wasn't enough, his part in not one, not two but a hat trick of , bombshell interviews trick of, bombshell interviews opening up about his grown apart from his brother , the prince of from his brother, the prince of wales. of course , king wales. and, of course, king charles in one account. the duke of sussex is attacking the reputation of the queen consort her dangerous and criticising her as dangerous and criticising her as dangerous and criticising her attempts to rehabilitate her image at his cost. i want to hear from you. i've been threatening to go into the inbox i will actually do it off the back of this when i speak to cameron vaiews@gbnews.uk pretty anything about of do anything about all of this. do you looking at harry now , do you
4:08 pm
you looking at harry now, do you think he needs to be out ? and in think he needs to be out? and in a minutes will be speaking a few minutes i will be speaking to royal broadcaster helena sharp. but yes, let's sharp. but first, yes, let's take the moment take a little look at the moment , prince harry seemed to u—turn accusations of royals , in fact, accusations of royals, in fact, before that. let's just go straight to the main man cameras here. come on, walker. hello hello, harry. you turned an accusation racism will accusation of racism today. will you do if you remember back to the oprah 2021, he said. the oprah in 2021, he said. while meghan accused an unnamed member of the royal family of questioning what colour her baby would be when he was born, archie that the son then what prince harry claims in documentary ? oh 32. this clip in documentary? oh 32. this clip in the moment is something quite different to that of racism. so let's just a quick look . come let's just a quick look. come on, people. let's have the clip clip . a couple of things he took clip. a couple of things he took about accountability in the oprah interview . you accused oprah interview. you accused members of your family of racism. you don't even read it. well the british press said that right ? i did. meghan never the
4:09 pm
right? i did. meghan never the racist . she said there were racist. she said there were troubling comments about she was concerned about his skin colour. right wouldn't you describe that as essentially not having lived within that family ? right. so within that family? right. so you don't. i'm going back to the difference what my understanding is, because of my own experience, the difference racism and unconscious bias , the racism and unconscious bias, the two things are different. but once it's been acknowledged or pointed out to you as an individual. i was an institution that you have unconscious bias , that you have unconscious bias, you therefore have an opportunity to learn and grow from that is a hard lot, isn't it? a lot the way that tom bradby comes was roy . he does bradby comes was roy. he does and he doesn't really buy it, does he? so we've had a bit that we've spoken a bit now about the fact that prince harry making a distinction between, unconscious bias and racism. fair enough. what fault saying is what is at fault is saying is that now he's out unconscious bias in the royal family and that they low essentially that they are low essentially racist to deliberately
4:10 pm
racist allowed to deliberately really take on and they really is my take on and they now need to learn from it. yeah i mean he's accusing the british press of inventing this racism to create this witch hunts of who is the. let's find out who the royal racist is within the royal family. yeah prince harry's argument there on the surface seems pretty plausible that it was unconscious bias rather than racism apart from the facts. but the last two years the sussex camp has very much been complicit in the idea of that particular incident that happened was racism. they at the time push back and say it wasn't the queen or the duke of edinburgh who made that comment . you if you remember. yeah, but did not deny but it was racism allows that to slide also they picked up if you remember a couple of weeks ago this ripple of awards in the united states from from from the kennedy foundation. yeah and for what the foundation describes as standing up for institutional
4:11 pm
racism within the royal family so they were clearly happy to accept this awards on the stage in front of cameras but now prince harry is saying that it's unconscious bias, not racism . it unconscious bias, not racism. it was just the analysis just don't match. they don't match. and look out. oh, okay. oh, sorry . look out. oh, okay. oh, sorry. come on. we're going to have to. bob over thousand comments now. he's got this same idea. we're going to hear life. that guy about breaking from the house. steve barclay. he met union leaders earlier next because it came early and, quickly came early and, came quickly in sevenfold between and december . sevenfold between and december. it also came when jp's and primary care and care who they're most constrained and just flu affects the population . it also affects the workforce too leading to staff sickness absence that constraints apply just at the same time, as it also increases demand . and mr. also increases demand. and mr. these flu pressures come on top of cold with over 9000 people in
4:12 pm
hospital, we covid while exceptional levels of scarlet activity and an increase in strep a has created further on a and e and all of this, of course comes on top of a high historic starting point . so we didn't starting point. so we didn't have a quiet with a significant levels of covid and delayed discharges were more than double what they were during the pandemic. so to put this in context for the house in june 2020, there were just 6000 cases of delayed discharge per day. those patients were ready to leave hospital who were medically fit to do so, whereas throughout last year it was 12 and 13,000 a day . so mr. and 13,000 a day. so mr. speaken and 13,000 a day. so mr. speaker, the scale of the speed, the timing of our flu season has combined with the ongoing high level of covid admissions in hospital and the pandemic legacy of high delayed to real strain on frontline services . mr.
4:13 pm
on frontline services. mr. speaken on frontline services. mr. speaker, since the nhs began for this winter, there was a recognition this year had the potential to be the hardest even potential to be the hardest ever. that is why there a specific focus on vaccination . specific focus on vaccination. there were 9 million flu shots and 70 million autumn boosters . and 70 million autumn boosters. we extended eligibility more widely than in the past to cover the over fifties and became the first place in the world to have bivalent covid vaccine, which tackles both the omicron strain and the original covid strain and the original covid strain and england also put in place plans for the equivalent of 7000 additional beds , including the additional beds, including the introduction of virtual of the sort. one can see at watford general . and that innovation is general. and that innovation is still at an early stage of development, but has the potential to be significant in reducing pressure on bed occupancy . hospitals in watford occupancy. hospitals in watford alone, it has saved equivalent of an extra hospital of patients
4:14 pm
. in addition, our plan for patients put 500 million specifically into delayed discharge with a further 600 million next year and 1 billion the year after and. while the funds already started to make a difference, efforts taken time to ramp up operationally with local authorities and local nhs . in addition, our 42 integrates the care boards recognising how bed occupancy in hospitals and social care connected will fully integrate health and care in the years to come. but my cries of at an early stage a maturity with icb is only becoming fully operationalised . july 20, 22. so operationalised. july 20, 22. so less than six months ago . so, less than six months ago. so, mr. speaker . our less than six months ago. so, mr. speaker. our plans involving integration of hospital care and social care, additional into discharge increased stepdown capacity , the equivalent of 7000 capacity, the equivalent of 7000 additional hospital beds and a vaccination programme at scale
4:15 pm
have provided groundwork for the government response , but it is government response, but it is clear we need to do more right now in light of the level of flu and covid rates and given hospital occupancy remains far too high and emergency departments are too congested . departments are too congested. recognising this, we launched elective recovery task force on the 7th of december and in coming weeks we will publish our urgent and emergency care recovery plans and nhs england and department of health and social care have been working intensive over christmas on these plans which were reviewed with health and care leaders at the nhs recovery forum in downing street on saturday. the recovery falls into three main areas of work. recovery falls into three main areas of work . first steps to areas of work. first steps to support the system . given the support the system. given the immediate pressures we face, this second steps to support a whole of system response. this yeah whole of system response. this year. to go back to during the
4:16 pm
summer and autumn . because as we summer and autumn. because as we saw with the heat wave this and the levels covid pressure is now sustained the year not as in the past during autumn and winter penods past during autumn and winter periods and third our work alongside these two areas on prevention aim to maximise change prevention potential of proven technologies such as virtual wards and the wider adoption of innovation science such as operational control centres. a machine reading software to treat more conditions in the community away from reaching emergency department in. the first place. mr. let me set out the first of these with the measures i can announce today to, provide support to the nhs and local now first we will block book beds , first we will block book beds, residential homes to enable around 2500 people to be released from hospitals where
4:17 pm
they are medically fit to be discharged . when combined with discharged. when combined with the ramping of the 500 million discharge funding , it will discharge funding, it will unblock , which will unblock an unblock, which will unblock an estimated 1 to 2000 delayed discharge cases . capacity on discharge cases. capacity on wards be freed up, which in enables those patients admitted by emergency departments to move , which in turn unlocks ambulance delays . it is ambulance delays. it is important , however, that we important, however, that we learn from the deployment of a similar approach during the pandemic by ensuring the right wraparound care is provided for those patients released residential care , which i have residential care, which i have asked nhs england to particularly focus on. so it is the shortest possible stay on their journey home the shortest possible stay on theirjourney home into their journey home into domiciliary care and. indeed it is in the nhs, its own interests for those days to be as short as possible , taken together , this possible, taken together, this is a £200 million investment over the next three months. next
4:18 pm
and these are under particular strain from . my visits across strain from. my visits across the country i've seen and heard how they often need more space to enable same day emergency care and short stays post emergency department. so our second investment today is more physical capacity in and around emergency departments by using modular units , this capacity modular units, this capacity will be available in weeks not months and our 50 million investment will focus on modular support this year and we will apply support this year and we will apply funding from next allocation to significant to expand this programme ahead of the summer, we giving trusts discretion on how best to use these units , decompress the these units, decompress the emergency departments, so that might be spaces for short stay post any care where there's no need for the patients to go to a ward for observation or discharge lounges where previously the not being able to
4:19 pm
take patients in a bed many of those are often simply chairs and also capacity alongside . the and also capacity alongside. the emergency department at the front end of the hospital . mr. front end of the hospital. mr. speaken front end of the hospital. mr. speaker, the third action we are taking support the system right now is to free up frontline from being diverted by cq since actions over the coming weeks , actions over the coming weeks, the cq si have agreed to reduce inspections and focus on risk providers in other settings like mental health. mr. speaker , are mental health. mr. speaker, are the actions were taken that have an immediate effect. turning now to, the measures were taken. now that will give greater resilience this summer and next winter. we have 42 and it's a system control centres in operations across england staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, tracking patients on their journeys through hospitals and helping us identify blockages earlier and getting through flow through the
4:20 pm
systems where we have implemented the such as the one i saw in operation in maidstone . they have had a clear impact . . they have had a clear impact. so we're going to allocate funding in year's settlement to apply funding in year's settlement to apply this more widely. funding in year's settlement to apply this more widely . similar apply this more widely. similar to this, we've also seen the use of artificial intelligence data can demonstrably reduce demand and release patients sooner. nhs england has been tasked with clarifying simplifying this landscape taken on board. best international practise so that a small number of scale of interventions are taken forward where international experience shows they can deliver meaningful benefits to patients . next, mr. speaker we will capitalise on the potential of virtual wards. capitalise on the potential of virtual wards . last week at virtual wards. last week at watford general hospital saw how patients have been in hospital , patients have been in hospital, were treated through a combination of technology and wraparound care where patients
4:21 pm
sooner will often much happier knowing they are receiving clinical and always have the safety net to be able to quickly to hospital should that condition deteriorates there is scope to expand this to many more conditions and many more hospitals in the months ahead . hospitals in the months ahead. next, mr. speaker, we are opening up more routes for nhs patients. get treatment in the independence i'm offering. even greater patient choice . the greater patient choice. the elective recovery taskforce is to find spare operating theatres , beds and outpatient . there are , beds and outpatient. there are also steps we must in primary care . we are clear there are care. we are clear there are many more things our community pharmacies can support with which will ease pressure on general practise from the end of march. community pharmacies will take referrals from urgent and emergency care settings , and emergency care settings, and later this year we will also start offering contraceptive services . but start offering contraceptive services. but i want to do start offering contraceptive
4:22 pm
services . but i want to do even services. but i want to do even more . and indeed, as they do more. and indeed, as they do scotland and we will work community pharmacists to tackle barriers to offering more services , including how we services, including how we better use digital services. the primary care recovery plan will set a range of additional services to services. pharmacists can deliver . pharmacists can deliver. finally, mr. speaker, notwithstanding the very severe pressures we know that to break the cycle of the nhs repeatedly coming under severe pressure , coming under severe pressure, the best way to reduce the number is through our front doors is to address problems away from emergency away from the emergency department. on friday we signed a memorandum of understanding with biontech , a global leader with biontech, a global leader in the technology to bring vaccine research to this country . this will give as many as 10,000 uk patients early access to trials for personalised cancer. to trials for personalised cancer . by 2030. this to trials for personalised cancer. by 2030. this builds to trials for personalised cancer . by 2030. this builds the cancer. by 2030. this builds the ten year partnership we struck with in december to also invest
4:23 pm
in our r&d in, the uk and to build a state of the art vaccine manufacturing site here. we are also our wider care for the frail elderly patients in care long before they would ever get to a&e or in our. take long before they would ever get to a&e or in our . take for to a&e or in our. take for example the brilliant work they're doing in tees valley where they're community teams to help with falls to prevent unnecessary ambulance to hospitals. and we looked at what more support we can offer elderly patients further upstream . with an ageing upstream. with an ageing population and many more people with more than one condition, it is clear have to treat patients earlier in the community and beyond. individual specialities to better reflect patients with multiple conditions and indeed to give the right support people where they are , which is often where they are, which is often at home or in residential homes . mr. today's announcements provides . a further
4:24 pm
. mr. today's announcements provides. a furthe r £250 million provides. a further £250 million of funding, which recognises that the spike in flu on top of covid admissions , on top of high covid admissions, on top of high delayed discharge numbers from the pandemic, will provide immediate support to reduce hospital bed occupancy and decompose a&e pressures and turn unlock much needed ambulance handovers. this builds on the 500 million announced for discharge specifically at the autumn , which is ramping and the autumn, which is ramping and the additional funding for next yeah additional funding for next year. although this work ultimately builds on the much needed greater between health and social care through the 42 integrated care boards, which will we will strengthen them through this unit review and through this unit review and through a step change in capability, including operation control centres . this immediate control centres. this immediate and near—term action sits in parallel with our wider life science investment , such as science investment, such as those deals whereby you tech almaden and underscores our
4:25 pm
commitment to bridge recognising the immediate pressures on the nhs and investing in the science that will shift the dial on earlier extreme treatment at scale, particularly for the frail elderly and long before a patient reaches an emergency department. this is, mr. speaken department. this is, mr. speaker, a comprehensive package of measures and i commend this statement to the house below. come to show the secretary state to come forward wes streeting . to come forward wes streeting. thank you, mr. speaker, and happy new year to you to the rest of the house. and i, the health secretary for advance of his statement . mr. speaker, this his statement. mr. speaker, this winter seen patients waiting hours on end for an ambulance. a&e departments overflowing with patients and dedicated nhs staff dnven patients and dedicated nhs staff driven to industrial. in the case of the nurses for the first time in their history , because time in their history, because the government has failed to listen and to lead . i notice the
4:26 pm
listen and to lead. i notice the secretary of didn't take a moment to talk about the abysmal failure of his talks with nurses and paramedic representatives today. so let say to him, every council operation delayed appointment and ambulance disruption due to strikes could have been if he had just agreed to talk to nhs staff about pay today. he could have opened serious talks to avert further strikes. instead he offered nurses and paramedics 45 minutes of lip's service. if patients suffer further strike action, they will know exactly who to blame . but of course, the prime blame. but of course, the prime minister has already shown that he is interested in solving problems . he he is interested in solving problems. he resorts to the smokescreen parliamentary game playing by bringing in legislation to sack nhs staff for going on strike. so let me ask the secretary of state in this nhs sacking, ask the secretary of state in this nhs sacking , the staff this nhs sacking, the staff bill, how many nurses he planning to sack? how many
4:27 pm
paramedic is he going to sack? how many junior is he going to sign ? and this government has sign? and this government has the audacity to ask nhs staff for minimum service levels. when are we going to see minimum levels from government ministers , entire government ? and after , entire government? and after arriving at the derriford hospital in plymouth, an 83 year old dementia patient. waited in the back of an ambulance outside a&e for 26 hours before being admitted . this was the 23rd of admitted. this was the 23rd of december when those strikes were taking place, the minister should listen . his family found taking place, the minister in urine soaked sheets. and since arriving in hospital he's contracted flu . his daughter contracted flu. his daughter said of hospital staff and i quote their plight. their caring. and they are trying their best. it's just for them to do the work they want to do. so let me say what the health and prime minister refuse to admit. the nhs in crisis. the
4:28 pm
biggest crisis in its history. it is clear to the staff who have been slogging their guts out over christmas . it is clear out over christmas. it is clear to everyone who uses the nhs as a patient . the only people who a patient. the only people who can't it are the government . can't it are the government. what has been announced today is yet another sticking plaster. when the nhs needs fundamental reform . the front door to the reform. the front door to the nhs is blocked. the exit door blocked and there simply enough staff . so where is his plan to staff. so where is his plan to fix primary care so that patients can see the gp want in the manner they choose ? after 13 the manner they choose? after 13 years of concerted, safe government, they don't have one. where his plan to recruit the care workers to care for patients once . they've been patients once. they've been discharged from hospitals and to pay discharged from hospitals and to pay them fairly so that we don't lose them to other employers . lose them to other employers. after 13 years of concern to the government, they have one. and where is this to train the doctors and nurses and health
4:29 pm
professionals? the nhs . after 13 professionals? the nhs. after 13 years of conservative government, they don't have one. well, we do , mr. speaker, and he well, we do, mr. speaker, and he is welcome to nick labour's plan to abolish the non—dom tax status. i'm trying seven and a half thousand more doctors every yean half thousand more doctors every year, 10,000 more nurses and midwives year double the number district nurses and provide 5000 more health visitors . a plan. a more health visitors. a plan. a plan. so good. mr. speaker, the chancellor himself admitted the conservative government should it. but after years of mismanagement under funding and costly top down reorganise nations, all the conservatives have to offer the nhs is a meeting photo op in downing street , the collapse of the street, the collapse of the health service this could be seen coming from a mile away. health and social leaders were warning about it last. health and social leaders were warning about it last . so why warning about it last. so why are the measures he set out today being announced in middle of january? why have care homes and local authorities been made to wait till this month for the delayed discharge fund to reach
4:30 pm
them? it's simply too little late for so many patients . and late for so many patients. and in fact, this government is so last that after announcing this plan last night they found an extra plan last night they found an extr a £50 million and sent out extra £50 million and sent out another press release . now, another press release. now, i know most of us are happy to find despair. fiver flying around the we know around the house we didn't know was there. prime minister was there. this prime minister to 50 million quid stuck on to have 50 million quid stuck on the of the what on the back of the sofa. what on earth going no wonder they earth going on? no wonder they can't get. money to the frontline. the hand doesn't frontline. the left hand doesn't what hand is doing. what the right hand is doing. and speaker, this and mr. speaker, this is intolerable patients are intolerable for patients who are fit leave hospital, fit and ready leave hospital, who stuck months who are then stuck for months because care need isn't because the care need isn't available the community. available to the community. they're not bad blockers . and, they're not bad blockers. and, mr. speaker, they are not an to be dropped off at a and forgotten about. they need rehabilitation at home rather than a bed in a care facility. vulnerable patients deserve proper suited around their needs older fall again and go to hospital. and what about all these beds the nhs is procuring? what about this capacity for families need. i'll tell you what will happen. they won't get
4:31 pm
the care and they'll be coming right through the front door of the . the cycle broken . the a&e. the cycle of broken. repeating themselves and again. and mr. where is the choice control for patients and their families who may not want to be discharged to a hotel . families who may not want to be discharged to a hotel. i'm afraid mr. speaker , after 13 afraid mr. speaker, after 13 years this just isn't good enough.the years this just isn't good enough. the prime minister might not rely on the nhs, but millions of ordinary people do. they are sick and they are tired of waiting . and look, 13 years of waiting. and look, 13 years of waiting. and look, 13 years of conservative government now 13 years. and look what they have done to the nhs. did the health secretary listen to himself ? has health secretary listen to himself? has he described the situation in hospitals of people waiting on chairs for discharge? sees the trolleys in the corridors and people waiting longer than ever. whose fault it. not the nhs staff. he's threatening to sack, mr. speaken threatening to sack, mr. speaker. it's the conserver tive ministers who've made disaster after disaster after 13 years of
4:32 pm
conservative. it's clear the longer they are in power. the longer they are in power. the longer patients will wait only labour can give the nhs the fresh start fresh ideas it needs to stay . well, mr. c, it about to stay. well, mr. c, it about a fresh start, but even his own shadow cabinet colleagues don't seem to agree with his plan. his own deputy seemed to distance ourselves from his plans. use the private sector and, his own shadow chancellor seemed to distance himself from his plans for gp's and perhaps he could with the house exactly how much his unfunded plans for gp's will cost . because the chief exec , cost. because the chief exec, the nuffield trust, has said, quote, it will cost a fortune based on an of date view. so the is he has no . that is deputy and is he has no. that is deputy and his own colleagues support and he has now set how he would fund those plans in a way that would not divert resources from other
4:33 pm
parts of the nhs. he talks about pressure. mr. and yet there was no mention the fact that the nhs in the nhs in scotland and indeed systems across globe have faced significant pressure as a result of the combination and of covid spikes and flu spikes, particularly in recent ways. this is not a phenomenon that is limited to england and the nhs. this is a pressure that has been reflected internationally, including for the nhs in wales. he refers talks with the trade unions and it is right that we are engaging with the trade unions. i was pleased to meet the staff council of the today andindeed the staff council of the today and indeed the chair of the nhs council. sir gordon said that discussions had made progress , discussions had made progress, notwithstanding one trade union leader who was an industry given an interview outside , the an interview outside, the department to comment on what and had not been said in those
4:34 pm
talks. but we want to work constructively with the trade unions on that, he that we are announcing measures today, mr. speaken announcing measures today, mr. speaker. but again he seems to have made in those comments before he got a copy of the speech, the integrated care board's took operational effect in july this year , the autumn, in july this year, the autumn, because are scaling up we're putting control in place we are integrating health and social care . we announced in the autumn care. we announced in the autumn statement, mr. speaker 500 million for discharge, a further 600 million next year of a billion the year after recognising this significant and thatis recognising this significant and that is ramping nhs england set out its operational plans in the summer a 100 day discharge sprints that set out, for example, the greater use of virtual walls that these new thatis virtual walls that these new that is being rolled out at scale. it also announced the extra 7000 community beds and
4:35 pm
indeed we also set out in our plan for patients the additional measures. but what is clear when , we have a seven fold increase in flu in a month. , we have a seven fold increase in flu in a month . 50 cases in flu in a month. 50 cases admitted last year compared to 5100 this year. you have a combination of a surge in supply on top of the existing high level position and surge in demand and correspondence with a constraint of supply , because constraint of supply, because that absence is also because of flu it's during the christmas penod flu it's during the christmas period when community services are more constrained and those two together has created very significant pressure on emergency departments and that is right. why through the engagement i have had with health. the two key messages they gave to me was the importance of getting flu into hospitals, which is constrained by the high bed occupancy . that by the high bed occupancy. that is why getting people out of the hospital is so central to
4:36 pm
believe in pressure . and believe in pressure. and secondly, that within the emergency department specifically, we need to decompress those services . and decompress those services. and so with same day emergency treatment having short stay post the emergency department that is a better way to decompress those emergency departments through the triaging. i'm bringing other clinical specialities closer to the front door . we have listened the front door. we have listened to the nhs frontline. those were the two key requests that were made to me alongside other issues such as cq inspections and how we those. but we also need to alongside those immediate pressures recognise that we had last summer during the heat wave we had pressures in the autumn and that is why we've announced a wider set of measures today. so we have we have acted , we've taken measures have acted, we've taken measures to deal with the immediate pressure, but we've also set out how we will build further capacity which will go through
4:37 pm
into the autumn . and then into the autumn. and then alongside that we've signed , for alongside that we've signed, for example, wimbledon and biontech, and we're bringing forward the life science investment. so has a better impact on pressures on the front line in turn, the select committee, steve bry , the select committee, steve bry, the question great i was half an hour of my life and never getting that was health secretary steve barclay speaking to employees in the of to employees in the house of commons health commons meeting with health unions said that the unions. he said that the government regret that the for some patients staff in emergency care has been in recent care has not been in recent weeks. he also added during a meeting with trade unions earlier, he requested for further discussions and more talks , asking for ideas that talks, asking for ideas that could unlock additional funding for health care. interesting stuff , actually. to be fair, stuff, actually. to be fair, i kind of mucked it off before, but it is interesting. finally announce, the government plans to buy and this is a really juicy bit close to buy additional care home beds to ease on hospitals with ease pressure on hospitals with thousands in england thousands of patients in england set . i suppose one would set to be. i suppose one would then argue well what offers the people in care homes and
4:38 pm
actually as well do you want to sending sick people to care or the elderly or the vulnerable? i don't know. didn't want out before, did it anyway? let's cross live now to westminster and speak to our political allies. mccaffrey allies. darren mccaffrey downing. much. downing. thank you very much. can bones out me, can you pick the bones out me, please? do you say ? well, please? what do you say? well, really fascinating, as you say, patrick in many regards, the opposition crying. this is a crisis in the national service wes streeting the shadow health secretary. the insane is the worst crisis the nhs has faced in its history. now the government is not to prepared that word crisis, but by fact, they do recognise that things difficult. we heard from the health secretary trying to explain why things are immensely difficult for the nhs at the moment about the fact that number of admissions for this winter has gone up fivefold compared to last year. that there are 9000 people in hospital with , either covid and hospital with, either covid and scarlet fever as increased pressure on a&e as well. and this comes at a time over the christmas period under time in
4:39 pm
which people are ill. it means of course nhs staff fall ill and thatis of course nhs staff fall ill and that is why there is pressure. as you said, there was the announcement that they spent hundreds of millions of pounds at block booking these beds, if you like in care homes to try and some of the pressure because there are upwards 13 thousands people in hospital who could be treated in the community rather than in hospital up hospital beds. than in hospital up hospital beds . and so the government beds. and so the government hopes that by transferring a couple of thousand of them out of hospitals that will at least provide capacity in the nhs though for labour they argue all a sticking plaster the nhs needs fundamental reform and that in the end what good it sending people from an institution, the national health service, where there a lack of workers tens thousands of vacancies into another sector where there is also a lack of capacity and a lack of workers i.e. the social care sector where there are also
4:40 pm
tens of thousands of vacancies that in the end this simply isn't going to be a good enough. the politics, as i say, is very tncky the politics, as i say, is very tricky for the government there is no doubt that people across the country are concerned about national health service. there is it is in a is no doubt that it is in a pretty desperate unit to pretty desperate state unit to talk hospital leaders , those talk to hospital leaders, those that the nhs say it that work in the nhs to say it immensely difficult. this would all as you rightly picked all this as you rightly picked the strikes are going to go ahead it seems later on this month nurses due strike in month nurses due to strike in just over a week's time steve walker says his door's open the continue some the union leaders today clearly felt the didn't go in the right direction . darren in the right direction. darren thank you very very much. expertly thank you darren mccaffrey there our political editor from outside westminster writes if you just joining us, we just had a speech from the health secretary he's basically outlined a couple of bits and bobs. he said that they've managed to find a bit more additional funding for the nhs. he does things like productivity
4:41 pm
reports essentially from how that money is being spent, which i enough. he's i think is fair enough. he's saying they're going to saying that they're going to buy beds care homes. so beds in care homes. so residential care homes use them as almost like an overflow car park i suppose, which should hopefully various hopefully alleviate various different of different pressures. and of course apologising for the poor expen course apologising for the poor experi is to staff and experi is to both staff and indeed sick people who've recently needed the nhs. joining me now is senior fellow at the institute for public policy. as you've made research is chris thomas. chris, thank you very great have you on the show. great to have you on the show. did you hear anything there that might make the nhs might actually make the nhs better ? i patrick so i think better? i patrick so i think what we've got is overwhelming sense of deja vu. we've got nhs reporting huge crisis from the elective waiting list, ambulance delays to people not being able to get through accident, emergency . what we've got is the emergency. what we've got is the health secretary standing and saying some things that have broadly good ideas, but they're very small ideas. they'll make a marginal difference in what the nhs needs is. this whole scale
4:42 pm
transformation . we have a crisis transformation. we have a crisis that's over a decade , the that's over a decade, the making, and we now need solutions are proportionate to that. so i think we've had things that will make a small but nothing think will but nothing that i think will help crisis in its tracks. help the crisis in its tracks. i mean, it remains to be seen exactly how this 2500 beds in residential homes actually works . one would imagine with an ageing population , one, we would ageing population, one, we would need residential home space. this just may be just means more residential homes dealing i think with the health sector to trying to identify is that we have lots of people in nhs at the moment in bed that could be discharged. the problem is, is that capacity , social care and that capacity, social care and we've got to remember that social care has faced huge funding cuts as well. well, it's just not there . so it's very just not there. so it's very hard to get people out of their hospital to a setting that hospital beds to a setting that would appropriate for would be more appropriate for them. to be honest, that them. and to be honest, that would as well as more would be cheaper as well as more appropriate. kamchatka the problem here is that 2500 beds without a plan for really how
4:43 pm
social care gets any for how staffing and social care gets reformed social care has a massive staffing crisis in the same way the nhs does . that same way the nhs does. that detail just isn't . so we're detail just isn't. so we're talking about that. yes. identifies a problem that i think is a real one but is a proportionate to the challenge. is it going to make a huge difference phil knight? probably not. well, wes streeting kept saying saying like saying he kept saying like a broken record. after 13 years of tory no tory rule, you've got no answers. you've got no solutions. he's saying that he's got solutions . i've a bit got solutions. i've heard a bit about non—dom and making about the non—dom and making them which actually be them pay, which actually be honest with you, raises nowhere near enough money to make a dent since the nhs does at least be fair. but what is wes streeting saying so i think what wes streeting saying is that essentially there's a kind of bigger here, which isn't just how do we get through this winter challenging as this but it's that kind of a bigger reform plan that's and the of
4:44 pm
solution being posited there is more training of more staff so tackling that shortage and primary care reform which is met with some mixed reception today but but in terms of bringing more gp's, the system may well have some merit . and so we have have some merit. and so we have debate that's opening up i think between the government that's saying well you we get through the winter, maybe things start the winter, maybe things start the ship and the opposition actually things aren't going to get any better and we need a much more fundamental plan for the nhs because beyond the kind of 250 million we saw today. yeah exactly. i get i look i can't help but think that actually nobody politics is brave enough or willing enough to announce the kind of reform that i think we've probably all the nhs needs, which is probably not that far off root and branch , certainly a massive reworking of it anyway. and the political of it anyway. and the political of that could be major. look, thank you very much. senior research at the institute for pubuc research at the institute for public policy research, which is
4:45 pm
chris thomas there. thank you. lovely to have you on the show. great stuff. now loads, we've been getting in touch with your thoughts on steve barclay's statement, he statement, the commons on how he plans alleviate nhs plans to alleviate the nhs crisis gb views gbnews.uk christopher says does the government need reminding they're not pushing government money health money into the national health service money which service. it is all money which is for this and this is is paid for this and this is fascinating. can i just say we heard from the head of the unite union earlier on who union for nurses earlier on who was morally affronted that our health secretary wales giving some more money to the nhs , to some more money to the nhs, to workers in the nhs would ask about productivity. we're you would with anything, wouldn't you like whether or not the taxpayer was getting for money? i angered me that. no, i do understand his point of view. what he's is he's got what he's saying is he's got nurses, doctors working 18 hours on the draw , massive overtime. on the draw, massive overtime. overtime is helping the nhs up and without you know how, how dare he about productivity. i understand that but he can't just love a load of cash or
4:46 pm
something and not say well hang on a minute where's that money going? especially in light of the fact that the money doesn't seem to be going anywhere at the minute, it, anyway, nicola minute, does it, anyway, nicola says barclays saves lots of words little words but there is little sentiment. there's little sentiment. sorry, there's little statement i'm statement of what's wrong. i'm it matter a lot. it sorted quite matter a lot. there we go. gary says, oh , i there we go. gary says, oh, i don't care how many thousands of beds , how many new nurses beds, how many new nurses they're providing, will they give the anywhere near what they deserve in terms pay is my deserve in terms of pay is my health of so little concern to them that they will not fund the life saving care only may need day. the conservative party is dead now you ask me, gary, thank you much. to see you very much. intriguing to see what think. we them what you think. we pay them because it is because of course, it is a domino effect, isn't it? if we pay domino effect, isn't it? if we pay them 19% or whatever it is they want by the people also they want by the way people also 90, they want by the way people also go, that's just a go, oh, that's just a negotiating i'm so negotiating point. i'm not so sure it a massive negotiating sure it is a massive negotiating because we saw only scotland. certain members union certain members of union out there a pay offer that there rejected a pay offer that would have equated to 11 and a half % a pay rise for. some half% of a pay rise for. some members of their staff the lower end so i'm sorry you,
4:47 pm
end that. so i'm sorry you, are not away of not million miles away of the 90% you moving on now how 90% that you moving on now how much is your mp making from his second care should be second job do you care should be the main question since the 2020 election, collectively election, mps collectively have earned than election, mps collectively have earned more tha million earned more than £17 million from second jobs, with from their second jobs, with more than 50 million of that being by the tories being pocketed by the tories only 1.2 million went to labour mp. the highest earner from their second job was former prime minister may, who i find is quite remarkable. as i was taken home over two and a half million pounds from speeches and talks , boris johnson was the talks, boris johnson was the second highest earner. obviously taking home more than 1 million quid in speeches over the last three months alone , sometimes three months alone, sometimes earning wealth of three months alone, sometimes earning wealth o f £30,000 an earning wealth of £30,000 an hour and also receiving gifts in the form of flights and accommodation from rupert murdoch . joining me now is murdoch. joining me now is former tory mp ann widdecombe whitaker . thank you very former tory mp ann widdecombe whitaker. thank you very much. i'm aware you've really been sitting there for quite a while. we always steve barclay's documentary on him indeed myself. sit with this myself. let's sit with this second job stuff . i think it's
4:48 pm
second job stuff. i think it's quite a good thing i'm pays more money elsewhere , is it not? yes money elsewhere, is it not? yes i think it is. can i just say very, very quickly. because i know we've moved on. but note what was gone before, which i had to sit through. can i just say that the one phrase that i agreed with was when wes streeting talked about sticking plasters. that's all doing. you are right. unless there's a thorough review reform of the nhs in which we ask what we would if we were designing it from scratch now, knowing what we now . unless we do that it we now. unless we do that it will never survive anyway. okay, let's talk about second jobs. i agree with you, holly. i mean, i have taken the view that if employees are earning a lot of money from second jobs, it's because they're and if you take like geoffrey cox, for example who earns a fortune as a lawyer, it's because he's a very, very good lawyer, much demand, which he wouldn't be if he'd just lost
4:49 pm
cases and gave bad advice. and we need brains like that in a parliament which quite frankly, is pretty second rate. mm. yeah. well know i'm inclined to agree with you and you know, you never know . the thing is look it's know. the thing is look it's a nice salary, what the mp got is a nice most people would absolutely kill for that amount. money i am not disputing whatsoever but if want to attract the best and the you know there's , a lot of people know there's, a lot of people out there i am convinced our best employees are not in politics because they probably got more money and less just working in the city or doing whatever, all running business. so if you ban them from actually having another job, i think the having anotherjob, i think the quality of our mp would drop . quality of our mp would drop. well it would quite inevitably i've just said it's already pretty second rate. first of all you would be banning all the professions, know, if you're professions, you know, if you're a or a you've a dentist or a doctor, you've got to keep practising even if only limited each week only a limited amount each week . who's . otherwise, you know who's going to and have teeth going to and have their teeth full if haven't actually been
4:50 pm
well for years. can't just interrupt there and so what kind of pulling. i can't believe that theresa may's coining it on the after dinner speaking well no because listening to her is a bit like having a twofold quite honestly. i mean she really is deadly i guess people are just paying deadly i guess people are just paying because she was prime minister. it's pm tag which they're paying for , whereas with they're paying for, whereas with bofis they're paying for, whereas with boris they're actually paying to be entertained . they usually be entertained. they usually are. when boris is so ? but i are. when boris is so? but i think it is crucial that we attract top quality people . attract top quality people. parliament that means them to keep in contact with the professions and i can see no harm it at all. indeed, there was a time i came in on the of the change but that was a time when parliament didn't sit the afternoon because was expected that employees would earn their jobs in the morning. yeah. and when i'm just looking at the breakdown out of this now so apparently of 17 or so million
4:51 pm
pounds mps a collective have made from their second jobs. 50 million of that was by the tories . only 1.2 million was to tories. only 1.2 million was to labour mp . what does that say labour mp. what does that say at? i think it says that the tories are rather more able and rather more capable of earning. but i can remember a time when we had quite high quality labour and you couldn't call david owen, who was a very young foreign secretary you couldn't call him a poor quality. he was very high quality . but what's is very high quality. but what's is several things have first of all, those far too much press intrusion not into the individual must be expected but individual must be expected but in to families. individual must be expected but in to families . secondly there's in to families. secondly there's no status or respect left for parliamentarians. so why if you've had a serious record success in the outside world, would come into a profession where every bus ticket is going be held up to ridicule. what are your to buy your pencils from romans and thank you very, very
4:52 pm
much . would it come that the much. would it come that the legend is, of course, just reacting to the fact that mp as well they have second jobs and some of them and a lot of many of. would you call theresa may's after dinner speaking gig second job? i'm not sure really. i am just absolutely that she's managed to earn two and a half million quid. what kind of anecdotes asking theresa may actually tells you? i can see bofis actually tells you? i can see boris johnson. he's made a million quid in the last three months alone. i you are very entertained listening to boris. some would argue that maybe it all if he back. all be better if he was back. but of course. i couldn't possibly comment on that. now, moving preparations moving on, final preparations are of first are underway ahead of the first rocket uk soil. rocket launch from uk soil. several satellites due to several satellites are due to blast this evening blast space this evening when the opens in the launch window opens in cornwall. mark thompson is a science broadcaster and author and he's here. good stuff. i love this. i mean, you know, i am a bit of a child and massive rockets got me going. tell me what's happening. well, unfortunately is going to be a
4:53 pm
massive rocket. so. all right, guys. i'm a little familiar with seeing the rockets take by being is quite big vertical. tower of fire that blasts satellites and out into universe. but the launch cornwall is very different it's going to be launched on board converted 737 aircraft is going to take off in aircraft is going to take off in a conventional manner where the aircraft will take from cornwall about quarter past ten this evening and the rocket will be strapped underneath its wing. and then i think after up to 35,000 feet altitude , the rocket 35,000 feet altitude, the rocket will detach and then it will soar off into orbit around the earth. so it's very different andifs earth. so it's very different and it's not going to be quite the usual thing that gets kids excited with rocket launches. i'm afraid so. i suppose that's maybe less jeopardy as well, because you know, when you do the countdown last well, wondering whether it was going to blow and this possibly isn't going to happen, which is good so we go, how big is this so that we go, how big is this for it for
4:54 pm
for britain? how is it for britain? could we become a world leader in stuff and leader in stuff like this and make loads of money out of it? well, you know what is brilliant for because it's for britain because what it's doing commercial doing is it's making commercial space accessible . now, what the space accessible. now, what the project is launching is up to nine small satellites . and nine small satellites. and currently we don't have a capability in the uk until today at least to launch anything into space is left to this european space is left to this european space agency the american space agency not to get things up into orbit. so to be able to and indeed develop these satellites aren't big. but to develop develop those satellites in the uk to be able to launch in the uk to be able to launch in the uk is a mazing. so hopefully going to be a real kick start for hopefully booming enterprise . absolutely. now slightly off topic . hate to make it all about topic. hate to make it all about me , but people will be laughing me, but people will be laughing abouti me, but people will be laughing about i now. i always do that. how likely is it that in my lifetime i'll be able to go to space because this is on my list. i've not got millions in
4:55 pm
the bank i can't really pay for. it would have to be highly. i yeah, i'll tell you said you have got millions in your pocket that i was going to say you can do it today if you want, if got a lot of money. i think it's going to be between 50 and 100 years before the space exploration is viable for average person in the street. we've to go. we've got a little way to go. i think, unfortunately. och i think, unfortunately. och or i mean what want do is go mean what i really want do is go upstairs the pipe dream. a pipe dream. sorry. well, no massive. i'm to your i'm never going to space your parallel laughs i know, parallel laughs today. i know, i know. know, we really know. you know, we are really excited it. i that is great and just remind roughly what do we. oh exactly what are we expecting thing to be to be jettisoned off quickly. the launch window quickly. well the launch window at quarter past tense evening and we'll finally find out the satellites have been successfully deployed at some point . mark, thanks point tomorrow. mark, thanks very much. have a good man. take care. great to have you on the show. that's mark thomson, who is a science broadcaster and author. reacting author. yes, just reacting to what a massive what is definitely not a massive launch, that we still launch, but that we get still exciting right. exciting stuff anyway, right. oh, some breaking news
4:56 pm
oh, i've got some breaking news for you, ladies and gentlemen. what reports coming in? oh, what is reports coming in? oh, gosh. two british missing gosh. of two british men missing in ukraine. ukrainian police say they were looking for two british voluntary work who had gone missing in. east ukraine, which has been the scene of heavy fighting between ukrainian and russian forces. heavy fighting between ukrainian and russian forces . a foreign and russian forces. a foreign office spokesperson said we are supporting the families of the two british men who have gone missing in ukraine. so we'll bnng missing in ukraine. so we'll bring you more details on that. yes. as just joining yes. as you are just joining now, is the two british men now, that is the two british men have been reported missing in ukraine. we'll bring you more on that as we get it as you've been getting into just finish off the hour with some of your emails and here we go loads you are getting about the getting in touch about the royals you love to say oh i royals and you love to say oh i know we're all a bit sick. everyone says, oh, i'm sick of you of emails ongoing. i am absolutely this harry absolutely sick of this harry stuff. the same person stuff. and then the same person emails view emails with that point of view on erased because on something erased because actually it is gold anyway. stephen says if the sussexes were not responsible for labelling they labelling the royal racist, they certainly their

will be impossible to replicate what he describes as the highest of highs during his career. that's it from gb news mornings as it happens. now back to . patrick welcome back. right. why do you think we're starting it's obviously harry isn't it more bombshell claims from prince harry duke of sussex harry as the duke of sussex spoke itv. to i'm american spoke to itv. to i'm american broadcasters ahead of the release of memoirs. i'm release of his memoirs. i'm going by the going to come on to you by the way. there's a new line just dropped. i will gradually ease you but when he was you into that. but when he was asked critics who say that asked about critics who say that he's family, which he he's sold his family, which he obviously has, the prince responded only way responded saying the only way could family was to could protect his family was to correct by writing correct mistruths by writing truth in place, in one of truth in one place, in one of the most shocking claims, harry told, the 60 minutes on the cbs network that he thought camilla, the consort's role became the queen consort's role became
5:09 pm
damaging to the family that made dangerous because of the connections that she forging within british press and was within the british press and was open willingness both sides to trade off information with a family built on hierarchy and with her on the way to being queen consort there was going to be people or bodies left in the street. because of that now . we street. because of that now. we went out in about a week and we decided where better to go than the royal town of sutton coldfield , the west midlands. coldfield, the west midlands. and we asked whether or not people have any sympathy whatsoever for. prince harry, we well he was struggling with bills and everything and there's him playing victim or is suffering time you're not suffering time you're not suffering you literally have got everything and got a lot of money in the bank and that's it. you don't need to worry about else. just focus on your family and that's it. i just think it's unfortunate situation, to be honest. really do like honest. i think i really do like prince harry. i think prince harry as i mean i mean, harry as well. i mean i mean, like the royal family well.
5:10 pm
like the royal family as well. but i just it's mistakes made on both it's an both sides. i think it's an absolute waste of space. and we should up go away and should shut up and go away and do all a favour. what do you do us all a favour. what do you make things make about some of the things he's been saying recently in the media these interviews? media and in these interviews? to not the to be honest, i'm not the slightest bit interested in him. i care what does, not i don't care what he does, not relevant. i just wish he'd go away and we could get on with more things. life, more important things. life, i think have it both think you can't have it both ways. you want privacy, you ways. if you want privacy, you don't your in the don't want your children in the pubuc don't want your children in the public then keep it that public eye, then keep it that way. to oprah way. but don't go to oprah winfrey the tv channel and winfrey on the tv channel and write book . then say, oh, write your book. then say, oh, we want our privacy and to say the things he's said when he's in the army. just you don't do that, do you ? do you think he that, do you? do you think he can reconcile with his family now ? now, if it was if he was my now? now, if it was if he was my brother or my son, i'd say if you bridges now . right. well, you bridges now. right. well, i'll gb news royal reporter cameron walker joins me now covered it's difficult know where to start. i did promise help. he was listen listeners that we had a bit of a new line
5:11 pm
out of there so we're trying to move that way and some move it on that way and some speculation about think probably it's about harry it's a mini gossip about harry and going on so he and ptsd what's going on so he brought up this topic harry one of the interviews he's done to promote his new memoir spare of ptsd, post—traumatic stress disorder. prince harry claims he does not have post—traumatic stress disorder. he describes it as post—traumatic stress injury. now, neither of us are medical experts. we can't speculate as to exactly what that . but from to exactly what that. but from what prince harry was saying, he is suggesting perhaps that he is still deeply by his mother's death and the way that's it happensin death and the way that's it happens in terms of being chased by paparazzi. he very much blames the press for what he seesis blames the press for what he sees is that parts in his mother's death death. and he describes both in the book as we understand it's going to be it's not out until tomorrow and interviews he's done to promote it but he's talking about this war with the british press and it all stems from when he was 12
5:12 pm
and his mother died and back continuation of this war and only made worse in prince harry's view of what he sees as hit members , his family hit members, his family colluding with the press , making colluding with the press, making deals with the press in to make the themselves look good. i mean, i don't know whether or not it's because, you know we work in news and we work in media. so i think for us it's not really news that the royal family has a special kind relationship with the press to feed off each other that that you could argue they both need other to an extent and i was quite surprised that seemed to think this was some kind of revelation obviously he's been on the inside of it though. now there was else that came out last week and i were talking a bit about the plane when he when the queen was suddenly passing on, that plane, of on, there was that plane, of course, took different course, that took different royals harry not royals that that harry was not on that plane is a bit more info . yeah prince harry very says he was not invited on the plane that took william and prince
5:13 pm
prince andrew and others up to scotland to see the queen before she before she died in the cb's interview he did, which had there was a voiceover after prince harry said that's where they said prince harry had to make his own arrangements . make his own arrangements. balmoral and, he arrived too late to see the queen before passed away and they left it at that which heavily implies that harry was only member of the royal family who arrived too late see the queen. died. late to see the queen. she died. that's not the case. the queen died. 3:10 in the afternoon on the 8th of september and the raf plane carrying william and edward, etc. didn't land until after that had happened. so they also didn't get there in time. we as we understand it. so i think painting this narrative again that is the victim isn't exactly the full picture . but we exactly the full picture. but we there's no reason to believe that he was onto the plane. if prince harry says he wasn't, then perhaps we have to take his word for it. okay. lovely stuff,
5:14 pm
cameron. thank you very much. as even cameron. thank you very much. as ever, kind of walk that. oh, royal riposte just filling in a couple of the latest lines. yes. back now to that claim of ptsd as a reason for what some are calling prince harry's self—destructive behaviour. what do nice gesture do you make of this nice gesture now views this. now i want your views on this. obviously, gb or obviously, gb views or gbnews.uk. i will be that gbnews.uk. i will be saying that until blaming face, but i until i'm blaming face, but i do love from you. i the love to hear from you. i the more this goes on and it is a lot now and i'm that i am feeding the beast by continually about i increasingly about it but i increasingly looking at harry and thinking seriously this kind of intervention and territory someone to their arm someone needs to put their arm around say, look, you're around him and say, look, you're maybe not well and you need maybe not that well and you need to rein it in a bit during recent interview with good morning america, harry talks about grief on, losing his about his grief on, losing his mother, stating that serving in the military literally saved him. but former senior military intelligence officer phillip ingram , who suffered with ingram, who suffered with condition himself, that's ptsd , condition himself, that's ptsd, said the behaviours he is seeing in, prince harry reminded him of he suffered from severe post—traumatic stress disorder
5:15 pm
and i'm very pleased. so philip joins now say philip thank you very much right on cue so you would think that harry exhibiting the signs of ptsd you just me through it. well he's exhibiting from from perspective one of the one of the symptoms of it. you know, i first came across prince harry. whenever he was commissioned out of sandhurst. i was at the commissioning ball. i danced to behind doing the congo at behind him in doing the congo at the party at about midnight. i got to talk some a couple of times as it was running around. got to talk some a couple of he had a sparkle in his eye. he a bright young officer who was ready to take the world on and had a real to the but individual that i'm seeing now has lost that i'm seeing now has lost that sparkle and. what are the symptoms that's very rarely talked about because it cannot be medically diagnosed. it cannot be medically treated , but cannot be medically treated, but it is a symptom of ptsd and that's something that i personally suffered self—destructive behaviour and get this machiavellian view of everything you attack those that are closest to you and you don't
5:16 pm
realise you're doing it and you can do from a very coherent front that you're putting on. so you can come across as articulate and everything else . articulate and everything else. what i'm hearing from them, what i'm seeing them, and when he talks about of the itv interview last night where he said, i don't suffer from ptsd, i don't suffer from a disorder, there was a flash in there that made me think, no, sorry, mate, you do . what amazes me is the amount do. what amazes me is the amount of people who must be around harry is clear that he's getting some form of therapy as a therapy mean fair play. by the way, i mean loads of people do. and i think it's a it's a very good thing when it's right i among convinced that a therapist in the world would suggest to him that what he's doing now is good for his mental health. well, you know, we do we don't know whether . he's been formally know whether. he's been formally diagnosed with ptsd and don't know whether he's for
5:17 pm
know whether he's there for getting right of therapy for getting the right of therapy for that. turning around that. that's like turning around to . it's, you know, from to you. it's, you know, from a theoretical perspective. you've just been told got a very nasty cancen just been told got a very nasty cancer. yeah know that you're seeing a dermatologist. dermatologist because you've got a and you're complaining a skin and you're complaining about dream . about your cousin's dream. think, does matter. think, well, that does matter. you're doctor yeah. i'm you're seeing a doctor yeah. i'm sorry. one doctor doesn't mean that they can deal with everything. it's the same. and a therapist if a therapist isn't deaung dealing specifically with a diagnosis of ptsd and it's a very specific diagnosis , then he very specific diagnosis, then he might not be getting right treatment for it. and he probably isn't and some of the advice and therapy and that he's getting might be reinforcing lot of this bad behaviour. i'm so behaviour be by—product of behaviour can be by—product of ptsd according to what you're saying now what else can there be and look i don't want to get to movement about it but you know, left untreated or undiagnosed what, how do they end up with. well what will happen. and we've seen this over the past months you spiralled on it's like water going down a
5:18 pm
plughole and your behaviour gets worse and worse , and worse until worse and worse, and worse until you hit a bump at the bottom and that bump at the bottom is either you turning on something happening and you, you that actually that's not you it's not proper you and you need to get some help or the worst happens you're dead and those only one of two outcomes with this and we're seeing his behaviour getting worse and worse and worse . the bump, bump has to worse. the bump, bump has to happen. i lucky i had to stop. i had a bump. i realised that i needed to go and get some help. i got some help. the nhs looked after me fantastically. it was an awful lot more than it took an awful lot more than it took an awful lot longer to get me and get proper me back than would be the normal treatment length that was there because you know i was bad he's he's in that position. well i'm sorry to hearif that position. well i'm sorry to hear if you went through that i'm very happy to hear you seem to be out in the side of it now and potentially hurricane heed
5:19 pm
your advice may be i know it's an incredibly thing i wouldn't say am boasting about it frankly but i am aware of quite a lot of people i know in the armed forces who have suffered with it and do suffer with it. so it's something that needs to be needs to be dealt with. look, phillip, thank you very much to thank you very, very much to have on the show. great to have you on the show. great to have you on the show. great to have insight and i'll talk have your insight and i'll talk to phillip ingram to you very soon. phillip ingram now, less, former senior now, nba no less, former senior intelligence officer. he's pretty convinced prince pretty convinced that prince harry appears to be in his anyway exhibiting signs of anyway exhibiting the signs of ptsd. cant anyway exhibiting the signs of ptsd. can't help but ptsd. i just can't help but wonder whether not he's got the old california bug, whether or not him saying. not everyone around him saying. yes, him the time. no one yes, to him all the time. no one saying no one's actually got saying no, no one's actually got his at heart and. his best interests at heart and. i just wonder as well when you see this now, this outpouring this vitriol, this hatred, i suppose you could say , towards suppose you could say, towards his own family and, the complete and utter lack of and a lot of what he's saying and there is a lack logic. there's contradictions left, right, and centre. i wonder whether not actually he is actually what he saw is controlled from the royal family
5:20 pm
maybe they knew something that we didn't and they were just trying to look after him. i don't know. i could way out don't know. i could be way out of there. gbviews@gbnews.uk of line there. gbviews@gbnews.uk speaking of commons speaking at the house of commons in health in the last hour, the health secretary an emergency secretary said an emergency recovery nhs had recovery plan for the nhs had been to it been drawn up about time to it will to address immediate will aim to address immediate crisis preparations for next and longer term of ill health to safeguard the system. but talks health union bosses earlier it didn't go so well for the health secretary . with strikes across secretary. with strikes across the nhs still set to go ahead after the discussions were labelled and i'm quoting now insulting anyway shadow health secretary wes streeting said there been abysmal failure there had been abysmal failure and barclay's with nurses and steve barclay's with nurses on paramedic representatives wes streeting claim that cancelled operations delayed appointments, ambulance disruption to strikes could have been avoided if he'd agreed to talk to nhs staff about pay. so let's go over to now get the latest. pick the bones out . this is political bones out. this is political editor darren mccaffrey darren you very much so. steve barclay
5:21 pm
parliament's thumbs up says we've got of a plan we've got a bit of a plan sticking politics labour say what was set . sticking politics labour say what was set. is sticking politics labour say what was set . is interesting sticking politics labour say what was set. is interesting you use the words crisis patrick it is what nhs officials it is what many hospital bosses is the opposition are branding what is happening to the national services. this winter. it is a word that the government are refusing to use though. as you've just noted, the fact they're coming up with massive plans is sign that they do recognise the nhs in quite a lot of trouble during this winter period. now they say it is because of a whole load of things, not least of all that there are people in there are 9000 people in hospital who at least have tested for covid, that tested positive for covid, that there is an increase scarlet there is an increase in scarlet , that 50 times more , that there are 50 times more people in hospital with this people in hospital with flu this winter the where last winter than the where last winter. that all piling winter. and that all is piling on pressure. there are staff absentees doesn't either absentees doesn't help either and that is why they're having to essentially make these contingency plans and come up with this new report . and in with this new report. and in addition to that, they announced
5:22 pm
today a couple of hundred million to try block bulk million to try and block bulk beds for . social, two and a half beds for. social, two and a half thousand of them because they're all thousands of in hospital who frankly don't need to be in hospital they need to be in the community but. hospital they need to be in the community but . there hospital they need to be in the community but. there are no beds for them. so this is the government to try and solve that crisis. now as you say, labour branded it as a bit of a sticking plaster. it is a interim that's to interim measure that's going to really long term really solve the long term problems nhs and social problems with the nhs and social care, not least all very care, not least all the very fact there are tens of thousands care, not least all the very fa
5:23 pm
are at the moment it seems at least still facing those strike actions later on this month. so it's really quite tricky for the government. they know they have not got opinion on the side of all this. labour are clearly making hay with it and the government while they're coming up with these contingency plans of what to continue to talk to the unions in the end don't really to have path really seem to have a firm path forward it's going to bring frankly say, everyone else frankly as i say, everyone else is plunging a crisis to, an end. yes, absolutely . darren, thank yes, absolutely. darren, thank you very much. as ever , our you very much. as ever, our political editor at darren mccaffrey, expertly navigating your way through the nhs not crisis. it's not a crow. can't go crisis. it's go across crisis. it's definitely no one say the word crisis not crisis crisis. we're not in crisis anyway. right. so back to the announcement by see you back here an hour ago he said the government plans to ease pressure on pressure the growing on hospitals crisis by hospitals it's not a crisis by thousands of hospital patients care nhs is to be care homes the nhs is to be given 250 million quid to pay for the care beds as a way of deaung
5:24 pm
for the care beds as a way of dealing with the problem. it's not a crisis the problem. but will this the pressure on the nhs , is it even practical for nhs, is it even practical for care homes ? joining me now is care homes? joining me now is simon wills, a clinical at st cecilia's group . thank you cecilia's care group. thank you very much. and you can all agree it's not a crisis. there's no crisis absolutely not crisis nothing as absolutely not a anyway. right. how do a crisis anyway. right. how do you what does it really you feel what does it really mean this is two and mean actually this is two and a half beds care half thousand beds in care homes, i i am still homes, right? i mean, i am still scarred by these giant white elephants nightingale elephants of the nightingale hospitals where we just say we're doing something and then nothing how it nothing happens, how will it work in reality, having an extra two and a half thousand care home beds being used to outpatient people ? it has been outpatient people? it has been done , patrick. it was done done, patrick. it was done dunng done, patrick. it was done during times when certain beds were blocked. so just the redditch hospitals being able discharge people to us . but i discharge people to us. but i like the fact that it seems to be shifting the problem to one place to another. so i don't even it could be classed as a sticking plaster, more of a sticking plaster, more of a sticking plaster. this lost its stickiness because he's got a common still could you look common still could if you look
5:25 pm
at first hurdle stuff in in at the first hurdle stuff in in social care is being brought to highlight for long time highlight for a long long time and we've our own crisis and we've got our own crisis patrick, but we've got long queues within 30 to 40. i'm glad that really is not a crisis . that really is not a crisis. this is not in crisis. it is 7.2 million people on the way waiting less than eight times through the roof. everyone's on strike is a crisis. i'm strike is not a crisis. i'm saying no crisis. and so but in reality that this where reality that now this is where i need to to your best need to defer to your best judgement. so a lot of judgement. so i think a lot of people will be thinking, well we've an population, we've got an ageing population, but don't what capacity but i don't know what capacity is like in the care sector as it is like in the care sector as it is i understand there might be shortages staff. know. shortages of staff. don't know. i think there was a of an i think there was a bit of an issue during the pandemic wasn't there wake the there in the wake of the pandemic well. so would these pandemic as well. so would these people be taking pandemic as well. so would these peoplfrom be taking pandemic as well. so would these peoplfrom people be taking pandemic as well. so would these peoplfrom people who aking pandemic as well. so would these peoplfrom people who actually away from people who actually just just to live in a care just just need to live in a care home? well nobody would get that. nobody would get discharged from here to go somewhere else. but essentially, there's places for people within care homes because there's
5:26 pm
always a turnover, as you'd expect . however, we've got our expect. however, we've got our own major staffing issues within the social care sector. it's on the social care sector. it's on the stuff for years, but also at the stuff for years, but also at the minute. we're also still people that are off with covid. our stuff that was recorded , our stuff that was recorded, even though everybody stays and works as normal in of the nhs and social care that offer a minimum of six days. we've had an outbreak it as well as many care homes of across not only our country country but county but across the country and they start dropping 5 to 6 days off to where it's is absolutely horrendous. can i ask about a bit about that? because i'm getting a terrible sense of deja vu here, which is if somebody is in hospital which is a building full of sick people, often pick up various different things. i mean , in this day and age, mean, in this day and age, especially covid and look, let's be honest, all right ? people can be honest, all right? people can have four or five doses of the jab and they do seem to still
5:27 pm
get covm jab and they do seem to still get covid and still be able to passit get covid and still be able to pass it on. so whatever. but reintroducing people, people who've just got out of hospital, ward into a care home, this was done before and lots of people died . it was, however , with died. it was, however, with covid as it is now for the people that have vaccinations , people that have vaccinations, do our get tested before they come out of the hospitals. i was for it maybe a day or two before. so there's no saying they haven't contracted it within that time. the issue being is that a lot of our staff are asymptomatic, a lot of our residents are residents when they're not testing routinely as we were before , we were already we were before, we were already testing our staff and our residents regularly . we have an residents regularly. we have an outbreak . you don't know if outbreak. you don't know if you've got to have an outbreak visited. don't have to test anymore. they can come willy nilly that a lot of care homes have now removed the masks, which to is too much too which to me is too much too soon. but that's all done on an individual according to government guidelines . i why you
5:28 pm
government guidelines. i why you would bring that about in december or within winter months when we're talking about the biggest strain on the nhs and therefore the biggest strain on social care services? i don't know. yeah yeah. look, thank you very much. and hopefully we're not in a few months time about something disastrous, so please, good guys . simon walser, good guys. simon walser, clinical to celia's care clinical leaders to celia's care group , reacting to the news that group, reacting to the news that in order to fix the is not a crisis. what's going on in the nhs. the moment you see barclays going to use by pay for and a half thousand beds in cash, try and get some people at hospitals free of hospital beds that we got interesting now because labour's problem this right now is they're not going to come down on empty strike action so they're not going pay them a load of money. so realistically, stuff into stuff would be continuing into life you it would be life without. you it would be punchy some up punchy could some gb news up i will despite what you've will ask despite what you've heard know we're heard from harry. i know we're back it all. you still proud back on it all. you still proud of the monarchy. we'll discuss that next .

it's about the conditions we're getting teaching 40 to 50% of teachers leave the profession the first five years and never return . but if you're looking at return. but if you're looking at the pay in isolation, i think headune the pay in isolation, i think headline stats are quite remarkable since 2010, teacher pay remarkable since 2010, teacher pay has fallen 24% and amongst teacher not he doesn't a quarter in real terms since 2010. so imagine a teacher on £100 a week that's now in real terms dropped that's now in real terms dropped t 0 £75. well that was an that's now in real terms dropped to £75. well that was an sagan what are they actually on as an average so it depends on it depends on where you are. if you are in london, you earn bit more like 25 to 27 stata. if you are on the fringes in the suburbs, it's about 24, 25. so it varies depending on your and your seniority. but i think it's just more in terms making sure teachers fairly for, teachers are paid fairly for, something regarded something that's regarded as such important occupation, such an important occupation, even under this being such an important attribute we need for
5:35 pm
our country. so again , as our country. so again, as a maths teacher, if you need more people to join the profession , people to join the profession, it's not about asking teachers to have and bugattis these amazing cars. it's about being paid fairly for what they do and how valuable to society. i i get the teachers . it's incredibly the teachers. it's incredibly valuable profession. absolutely need them and they do do a cracking . i used to go i don't cracking. i used to go i don't want to do this national television but i did used to go out with a teacher . she was television but i did used to go out with a teacher. she was on pretty money for what she did. i mean , do we need a pay rise mean, do we need a pay rise really ? so if you look at and if really? so if you look at and if you look at a head teacher or in senior member of staff. yeah their is good because you get their is good because you get the holiday. so if you got the houday the holiday. so if you got the holiday this is what everyone says about sick of this question but you it's i don't but you know it's nice i don't get how many months do you get out how many months do you have? a months. you got long have? a few months. you got long time off? yeah i think that's always like a strawman argument because again, i used to work in investment banking before moving to teaching. and of course was
5:36 pm
paid much more handsomely in investment. but the one thing i would say of being in a classroom is so demanding in banking, screams banking, i had my screams calling , doing deals, and it was calling, doing deals, and it was tough course i got paid well for it . a teacher you're dealing it as. a teacher you're dealing with 30 students. every single lesson. not just an lesson. you're not just an educator. moral tutor . educator. you're moral tutor. you're dealing with their parents. you're dealing with socially. parents have got socially. some parents have got sort of issues about poverty. so it's there's that it's like there's a lot that you're placing on teachers. and it's not just the education. and i see that completely. and i think there is a strange mixture of stuff because you've obviously got just the basics of the job. you use the teaching, but then there's almost caring elements to it and you , like you elements to it and you, like you said, that people management with probably always borderline therapy at times a lot of thought as well and dealing parents as well. i'm not a parent, but i would be parent, but doubt i would be making lives. i'll be making teachers lives. i'll be terrible paris evening terrible at paris evening i think. just does it. what think. but just does it. what what kind of pay off for a teachers looking for? what kind of pay rise all they actually
5:37 pm
have think have to. yes i think government's initial offer was around the 5% mark and some of the unions have asked around the 12% and that's meant to be pegged 12% and that's meant to be pegged with the current level of inflation again, these are negotiated going on. i'd expect something the middle might be acceptable. but again with these negotiations, i think they just had a great conversation today . had a great conversation today. and i think that's the key thing. it's a negotiation , a thing. it's a negotiation, a discussion, because know the thing. it's a negotiation, a disc|the)n, because know the thing. it's a negotiation, a disc|the world :ause know the thing. it's a negotiation, a disc|the world works. know the thing. it's a negotiation, a disc|the world works. yomow the thing. it's a negotiation, a disc|the world works. you know,e way the world works. you know, if trying to buy a house, if you're trying to buy a house, you're to buy anything, you're trying to buy anything, you're trying to buy anything, you a price. someone you would put a price. someone will lower you will offer a much lower and you eventually to somewhere in the middle. so hopefully can middle. so hopefully they can come to somewhere that's respectable sides. well respectable to both sides. well it at least as though it does look at least as though the government is looking to. well suppose have a conversation how successful be is how successful that will be is a different thing . can ask it different thing. can i ask it deep look morally . do you think deep look morally. do you think it's okay to walk out on kids ? i it's okay to walk out on kids? i think it be considered as a measure of last because when people enter the teaching
5:38 pm
profession in education, they join because they love the idea one probably they love the subject movies muscle geography, history of music. but secondly they really like the idea of passing on their knowledge and skills. the next generation. they do that because they feel the sense of vocation and you know teachers when they enter the profession, they know they're not going to be the bndge they're not going to be the bridge in society, but think it's all making sure it's all about making sure they're fairly paid. and again, that the that real terms caught in the law yes, if you're a teacher law for yes, if you're a teacher thinking joining thinking about joining the profession why wouldn't use profession now, why wouldn't use join banking or become an accountant it just accountant engineer? it just trying to make sure that's a fair bit of the asking for exorbitant pay i know that retention in teaching is absolutely shocking a lot just very finally very quickly because i'm going get shouted because i'm going to get shouted out in a second but some the out in a second but some of the other reasons people go into other reasons why people go into teaching, is because teaching, to be fair, is because it a staple job with decent it is a staple job with decent career progression. and unless you absolute clanger , it you drop an absolute clanger, it is a job for, life and the pensions , right? a lot of jobs pensions, right? a lot of jobs don't have that. bobby, is it.
5:39 pm
no, you be happy with what you've got. we're all in the middle of cost of living crisis. i'm just playing devil's advocate here. yeah. no i understand. you it understand. where you coming? it is job. there is is a good job. there is progression . and as teacher progression. and as a teacher and my who are teachers, we don't accept that it is a career, but it's to make that it doesn't lose that pegging because. got our because. i've got friends, our teachers in countries in teachers in other countries in finland and the finland and singapore and the far east and the respect that teachers get through pay is more deserving. so think in the uk we just need to show teachers a bit more respect as a society. i lot i mean i must say actually the idea of being a teacher in an city london school i mean it will be like herding armed . will be like herding armed. bobby, thank you very much . bobby, thank you very much. bobby, thank you very much. bobby seagull, that teacher and host of the mass appeal podcast, right? lozzi gang. and so it's your thoughts on the state of the nhs . steve barclay his plan the nhs. steve barclay his plan , by the way, the , not in crisis, by the way, the nhs definitely in crisis nhs is definitely not in crisis when all i have it's when all i have to say, it's crisis. people poll says . is it crisis. people poll says. is it a case that perhaps the shift within the need 13 hour
5:40 pm
within the nhs need 13 hour shifts, surely are not safe for anyone? why don't nurses do 8 hours? like many of the shift workers and then there won't be a lot of i've got to level with you. i've got a lovely apple. i do not know the intricacies of the nhs shift pattern. i will endeavour to go and look up and report back to you. paul on this one. i get what say. no, one. i get what you say. no, that would appear to be some logic can only assume logic there. i can only assume there's reason for it. i would there's a reason for it. i would suspect just the top of suspect that just off the top of my head, paul, the reason my head, paul, that the reason not actually they not is because actually they don't staff. so people don't have the staff. so people have to work over time a little bit. what we see on the railways, railways, i railways, the railways, i actually was quite shocked to learn, essentially run off overtime. have to do overtime. so people have to do overtime. so people have to do overtime and that's what makes up maybe up the that maybe that's just a guess anyway on stephen it will be interesting to know how many of employees, including be interesting to know how many of healthnployees, including be interesting to know how many of health secretary,including the health secretary, have private medical insurance. now this because i'll this is interesting because i'll finish steve. finish the message from steve. he says, the only motivation to fix service would fix the national service would be to go on the be if they had to go on the waiting so now waiting list. so now i absolutely what you're absolutely see what you're saying, that stephen, one thing i would say is that a lot of
5:41 pm
people have medical people have private medical insurance, including including some quite prominent left wing media organisations give that staff. i happen to private medical insurance . so when you medical insurance. so when you do read headlines from saying that they are written or articles written by people saying stand full square behind the nurses example, quite often, what reading? there is an article written by someone who's private medical insurance. oh, see what the is with see what the problem is with this? surely just takes this? surely it just takes burden off the nhs if you have got the money to go private, why not private? it's not like not go private? it's not like you it's your own health you know, it's your own health at the day. i'm at the end of the day. i'm sorry, i just think sorry, but i just don't think you mess about your own you should mess about your own health at all. i get what you're which. maybe there'll more which. maybe there'll be more motivation was on a motivation to out if he was on a waiting but it's a little waiting list. but it's a little bit like the private school argument know do we argument it you know do we realistically our politicians to you know live the worst house you know live in the worst house the ever take public the street only ever take public transport their transport anywhere send their kids the kids to worst school in the borough, the and don't borough, use the nhs and don't
5:42 pm
go. understand the logic go. i can understand the logic behind but not realistic. behind it, but not realistic. i'm not sure. anyway, you would make patrick christys on news make patrick christys on gb news coming despite coming up i will ask despite what heard from prince what you've heard from prince harry, proud of harry, all you still proud of the monarchy? honestly, i'm. you are. you think? he's are. why do you think? he's trashing it. frankly, i want to hear from. do you think he needs help? views gbnews.uk find help? gb views gbnews.uk find out accent the uk out it was best accent in the uk going nepal? yes. sexy going into nepal? yes. sexy accents, accents. i mean, accents, people accents. i mean, back in moment.

5:45 pm
about the hollywood king charles royal biographer catherine mayer has to the has a stark warning to the royal, claiming that prince harry's highly anticipated memoir catalyst memoir could be a catalyst topic. and the beginning , the topic. and the beginning, the end for the monarchy . harry has end for the monarchy. harry has highlighted many issues on racism, misogyny and wealth in the royal family and there are fears that these attacks could pubuc fears that these attacks could public consent and threaten the longevity of our constitutional monarchy. and i can't help but whether or not maybe this is what he's going for, wouldn't it just pick the goes back? i'm not going to say the tactics alone, but like so far, so far. can you if what brings it down is whinge and change. anyway, let's remind ourselves of some of the things that prince harry said in his bombshell itv interview. i think they were expecting me to get over to becoming to get into a relationship with with someone like meghan who had, you know, a very successful career, unfortunately , that stereotyping unfortunately, that stereotyping was causing a bit of a barrier to them really sort of, you know, introducing or welcoming.
5:46 pm
what do you mean specifically ? what do you mean specifically? well, american actress, divorced biracial, there's all parts to that. and what that can mean. i've just googled the hold the monarchy has and apparently, apparently , it's approximately apparently, it's approximately 1200 years. so it's overcome absolutely everything. oh, i have a funny feeling that it might outlive this particular level of shenanigans. anyway, i'm joined now by journalist and broadcaster, some down to talk to me about whether or not we think that the monarchy is now under threat because prince harry has piped your views. under threat because prince harry has piped your views . well harry has piped your views. well let's not forget i mean how many times patrick have we sat and watched? i remember being a child and, you know, and it was always the monarchy under threat. it was under threat when it was diana it was under threat various reasons. it was under threat with andre was under threat. so many. it's not under threat. so many. it's not under threat now. it will last. and know and things that you things that you you just said like about, an allegation about, you know, an allegation about, you know, an allegation about just back
5:47 pm
