money the conservatives are putting into health service and how much more they'll put into the health service. it looks on an issue like that, although rolls are perhaps been reversed . iran take iran . what . iran take iran. what a conservative party. they were very enthusiastic about the iran nuclear deal along with president obama and of course, his deputy, joe biden , and the his deputy, joe biden, and the european union. but now, i mean, let's face it, what happened yesterday with the execution of a british national was vile . and a british national was vile. and whilst that was condemned by the government, though, now keir starmer is clear he wants the iranian revolutionary guards branded as a terrorist group, rolls on iran reversed. and over the weekend keir starmer making it clear that he did not think it clear that he did not think it was right for 16 year olds. i'm referring here, of course, to the scottish legislation for 16 year olds to be able to simply change their their gender and certainly not without

reference to a doctor . now, that reference to a doctor. now, that has been boxed off this evening, we hear tonight that the government are going to block sturgeon's gender recognition legislation, and that'll be very interesting . but overall , there interesting. but overall, there isn't much to change between them. ten years ago, i used to say you can't put a cigarette paper between them. well, i've updated my language . i believe updated my language. i believe we're now living in non binary politics. do you agree with me? let me know your thoughts. farage at gb news dot uk. i can't tell. left and right apart . i even wonder whether those terms mean anything. joining me is chris hope from daily telegraph. scarlet maguire, formerly labour adviser. i'm going to start with the labour party. very right wing, isn't he? the starmer bloke ? i think he? the starmer bloke? i think yes. i think you've picked out bits in what . what he's done is bits in what. what he's done is he talks about reforming the nhs in the same way as he talks about taking back control . it's

about taking back control. it's taking tory language and saying, well what i'm going to do with it, the real reforms actually are about community health, about about , are about community health, about about, about primary health. i mean, about, about early diagnostics. that's what that's what we have to do with it, with the nhs if it's going to survive, of course we've got to survive, of course we've got to use the private sector to stop the blocks. i mean, i had a i had an nhs operation in the holly street clinic last january, right? because it was really simple and it was, it was really simple and it was, it was really urgent. but the reform agenda , you know, in the past, agenda, you know, in the past, we've seen political broadcasts by the labour party . you know, by the labour party. you know, we were the ones that set up the national health service. stick with us . we'll make sure that it with us. we'll make sure that it continues the very fact that he has taken the reform argument away, the conservatives, is i think, a significant shift. but it's not about left. right. i mean, what great. what angry way what he's saying is, is the left view of the nhs is actually

let's make it work and how are we going to make it work is actually putting far more into community hubs which actually blair with polyclinics right and then abandoned and actually what we need is we need a lot less fewer people going into hospital because they've been early what's done. yeah. i mean right or wrong you know and this this you know refer yourself to a to a specialist and we can argue about detail. but with that, with the stance they've taken on iran overnight, with the fact that he made it very clear he didn't think 16 year olds should be to change gender. i just be able to change gender. i just don't understand. mean, the don't understand. i mean, the difference between starmer and sunakis difference between starmer and sunak is enormous, right? i mean, please tell me. tell me. tell me how. where? well okay. so. so c'est armour believes that we should stop having non doms. right. and we should use money somewhere else. keir starmer does it mean he'll do it? he and he certainly will do

it. he's talked about it enough. keir starmer believes that we should stop having tax break should stop having a tax break on private there's two on private schools. there's two minor issues that affect minor tax issues that affect almost. no, i want you to almost. no, i just want you to thank being some people. thank me for being some people. if i'm out , thank me for being some people. if i'm out, i'm thank me for being some people. if i'm out , i'm joe soap out if i'm out, i'm joe soap out there the street and i'm looking because spent my whole life studying politics. i'm looking at the big picture . he's at the big picture. he's outflanking the tories, isn't he 7 outflanking the tories, isn't he ? he he's but he's still absolutely of the left. i mean, they absolute disagree on on the basics and the basic the basics. the basics is i mean, to high tax, high tax, big state. i mean, they're in agreement, chris, you see the point i'm making the word for it. the tsunami suit armour is a right then a but still. yeah, yeah. fifties yeah, that was a huge gates, you know or a butler. they agreed that something that was already in labour was the triangulation. the americans would call it or yes. tsunami ism where you get this, there's no difference anymore. and no real difference anymore. and in it's even than

in fact it's even worse than scotland. i think it's still the case that labour policy they last spoke about, the basic right was to basic rate right was to cut the basic rate to 19 pe. they're now in september year. well this september last year. well this just pushing for her just is pushing for with her agenda that's never been resolved from where the tories are holding 20 p labour wants to cut taxes even more. is no cut taxes even more. there is no real i think you're real difference. i think you're doing parties newspaper, doing the parties newspaper, the telegraph. the tory group, telegraph. well, the tory group, as jokingly called, says as it's jokingly called, says times. be times. i mean, you must be watching . well those articles. watching. well those articles. you be watching what you must be watching what starmer's yeah. i'm think starmer's doing. yeah. i'm think , he's playing quite , he, he's playing quite a clever game here. those articles that you showed there were telegraph . is telegraph headlines. there is what happening here is some what is happening here is some is talking to the language of some of our readers. we are thinking well this is interesting. if you're a democrat, you can't have ever a thousand years of tory rule. you have to a labour government in if they're trying to make the effort to reach across the aisle to where all readers are. that is how in time. but are you is how in real time. but are you what does is your next what what does what is your next view on on tax . why did boris view on on on tax. why did boris johnson give amazing speech johnson give that amazing speech in last week on tuesday when

in the last week on tuesday when she can't even say that which is what made me laugh that boris johnson addresses carlton club and says , got to stop the boats, and says, got to stop the boats, we've got to reduce the size of our state and cut taxes. having done the opposite this commentators coming to you commentators not coming to you like these great commentators think chris i've always been quite consistent , but i've got quite consistent, but i've got to different side by now. you must see the point i'm making. i mean, i mean the red wall, the let's face it, if we look at that 2019 victory. yes, that was frustration amongst brexit voters as millions of labour brexit voters that it hadn't been delivered. so get brexit done was tempting, but it would really be honest about it. corbyn was a very big factor in labour's failure, wasn't it? oh yeah. mean, there's absolutely yeah. i mean, there's absolutely no that corbyn was no question that corbyn was a bigger than brexit. on bigger factor than brexit. on the doorstep. but what i what we have to remember is if labour is going to win the next election , going to win the next election, people who voted tory last time have to vote labour right so

what you don't do frighten them off with terribly left wing language but you do stick to your left wing principles and that's what he's doing. the only differentials are what you said they were, which essentially is removing the non—dom tax break and removing the tax break for private schools. that is that is it amount of money? that's it in amount of money? that's the real difference between the only real difference between the only real difference between the two parties at the moment. and what will have and that's what will have to change think. well, change this year, i think. well, yes. even the private yes. and even the private school thing, mean, he'll thing, you know, i mean, he'll be told if he's in number 10, you could put the 80 on private school fees, it's going to school fees, but it's going to cost more because cost billions more because schools mean, schools will close. i mean, look, know, he's to do it. look, you know, he's to do it. he's to do whether does he's going to do whether he does or whether he's going to do both. people will vote. both. but people will vote. people vote. know, if people will vote. you know, if the election was tomorrow, there were would were three things people would vote the cost of living vote on in my the cost of living crisis. i that's pretty crisis. i think that's pretty clear that be right up there immigration because there are many the red wall enraged by many in the red wall enraged by what's happening across the engush what's happening across the english channel and access to the nhs. they're the three

things and the one the one open question is rishi says he will stop the boats. well i believe that when i say that those are three of his five things yesterday what they i mean he says he'll stop the boats. we haven't heard much from labour on that have we. what on that have we. well what labour says yes they would labour says is yes they would work would work with the work they would work with the french. to, to , to say we french. right. to, to, to say we haven't been able to work with the french for a thousand years. so . i the problem is because the so. i the problem is because the immigration system is so rubbish right because we, we spent years to process things. people think they can still come home as soon as we actually fix the immigration system so that you are letting in and you're keeping economic migrants out, it will stop. there are lots of ways to stop the boats. right. but i mean, this this sort of making big speeches and talking about rwanda where nothing's to happenis about rwanda where nothing's to happen is not going to do it

right. so left the rights that exist in european. absolutely interesting does left them rights that exists not really no. well i have to say you're right you're in a minority here but i'm right because you want it to be your labour party and maybe in office it would be. no, it is my labour party. it is my labour party jeremy corbyn's anymore. is it. he's gone. it was jeremy corbyn, the thing about all political parties, right, is, is there a spectrum? it's the same the tories. and at the moment we've got the bonkers right in it. but the things they say, yes, the bonkers right who've got for net zero, they'd rather stuff on this. i rise we are living in a time of no binary policy numbers soon over is . what it's certainly rubbish is. what it's certainly rubbish will agree with that right. we've got to take a break. at that point we're going to come back we're going to talk about net zero and much else .

well, some of your reactions to that rather spirited debate that we just had really do believe these parties are almost identical with minor , minor identical with minor, minor differences . your reaction? sean differences. your reaction? sean says it is non—binary these days. these conservatives are more left wing socialists . more left wing socialists. labour are right wing conservatives. crazy that we are both of those sean be slight exaggerations but there isn't much to choose. that's the point i'm really trying to make. sean says it feels are though we've gone straight back to 2013 time for a new political insurgency otherwise the turnout in the next election would be the lowest in recent history. ron, i think you are absolutely back on the money. as i say, i was saying in 2012, 2013, you can't

put a cigarette paper between them. i'm not included nick clegg because he was deputy prime minister then and a liberal democrat . we are back in liberal democrat. we are back in that situation and last time it caused an insurgency which led to referendum, which led to brexit and ultimately to boris and a big majority who knows where british politics may go in the next couple of years . the next couple of years. another says the conservative party lost their way . their party lost their way. their whole identity has gone. a general election is pending . and general election is pending. and one further thought from julie , one further thought from julie, who says , i think sunak and who says, i think sunak and starmer are both confused . starmer are both confused. either way, starmer is on his way to becoming the next. well, julie. one thing for certain, he is on way to becoming the next pm. unless rishi sunak can pull some really interesting rabbits out of the hat. now sticking with the theme of party agreement, i myself this time last week at a dinner with some quite senior political figures

in the room , and they weren't in the room, and they weren't just from one party. there were several parties represented. there when the conversation came around, a net zero, there was unanimous ac in the room that the was right to pursue its net zero policy. they all look forward to the skidmore the chris skidmore review which came out on the friday of last week. and they all also believed that going net zero would have huge benefits for our economy. now i've questioned of those things many times over the years, but to see that level of agreement in politics was extraordinary. now, to be fair , there is now, to be fair, there is a small rump in the conservative party, one or two labour as well, who question this. but this is the unanimous of most of our media and indeed pretty much everybody in westminster to and it's a very timely debate because the wef about to kick off their annual jamboree at

davos and they'll agree to. but doesit davos and they'll agree to. but does it make sense and what did chris skidmore actually have to say? in that report on friday, joining me, bob ward from the grantham research institute into climate change and the environment . climate change and the environment. i mean, you know you're in the climate change industry . you're in the climate change industry. must be a very easy place to be. you really do have huge political , don't you? well, huge political, don't you? well, i'm in the university and i deal in the evidence . and the thing in the evidence. and the thing about the skidmore review , about the skidmore review, remember, was it was commissioned by liz truss in response to a small group of her own employees who said that net zero is a problem for the economy . now, net zero, economy. now, net zero, remember, i mean , stopping remember, i mean, stopping climate change, that's what they actually mean. well, hang on a second. i got a second. well, of course it does. it means net zero emissions. that's what you need to do order stop need to do in order to stop climate well, there's no climate change. well, there's no guarantee that it would stop climate that the climate change. is that if the world net zero world gets to net zero emissions, then we will stop climate that's what climate change. that's what the scientists the

scientists say. yes. but the point this is this is zero point about this is this is zero for united we'll for the united kingdom. we'll come the global we'll come come onto the global we'll come to global stuff in a minute. to the global stuff in a minute. and yet and even if we did that, you we can't necessarily you know, we can't necessarily play you know, we can't necessarily play report came out play god. this report came out on friday basically , it urged on friday basically, it urged the government to go and faster . and in particular what i spotted was to get rid of gas boilers even earlier than previously for cast to replace them with heat pumps. but is unaffordable bob for average . unaffordable bob for average. well i think people think at the moment that it's unaffordable to have a gas boiler because the cost of gas is so high or about to go into a really bitterly cold period. now, some people are going to really suffer dunng are going to really suffer during this cold weather and that's because our dependence on natural gas , which is far too natural gas, which is far too expensive . now, if we had made expensive. now, if we had made invest months earlier and in onshore wind , for instance, to onshore wind, for instance, to win. but when the wind very low, when the wind doesn't blow, it's useless. well, the wind's blowing in the moment, but

yesterday it supplied more than 50% the electricity . and if 50% of the electricity. and if you to shut down onshore , you want to shut down onshore, then to then burn even then you have to then burn even more natural gas. i know bill would be even higher than the mortgage dependant we become on wind . also more dependent we wind. also the more dependent we become on natural gas as. wind. also the more dependent we become on natural gas as . a become on natural gas as. a backup when the wind doesn't go that can't possibly be true. nigel it is. if you have a system that depends entirely on natural and the system that mostly wind and then a bit of gas is backup. they've being dependent fully on natural gas and far more expensive. not far more. but if we don't get we don't have natural at the moment. we have a massive problem. i mean, look, this report , this report, by the way, report, this report, by the way, heat will be when it gets really cold. the one big study that was donein cold. the one big study that was done in glasgow where they tried this on a block when the temperature gets down to minus four or minus heat pumps, the vast amounts of electricity to keep going far more than keep going for far more than boilers in the right conditions. the scandinavian countries use

heat pumps. it just means you have to insulate in a modern building you want to do in a modern build house when it doesn't get cold, it may work . doesn't get cold, it may work. this report calls for a revolution. that was the word the skidmore used a revolution hidden in wind energy with a particular focus on onshore and in solar as well. and here's point. if you say to people, we've got to cover up huge amounts of agricultural land with solar panels or we're going to build, you know, a wind farm on every beauty spot, every upland beauty spot in the united , there is huge public opposition . aesthetically, there opposition. aesthetically, there was doing it . opposition. aesthetically, there was doing it. let's not exaggerate at the moment. golf courses cover far more land in britain than solar panels. this that somehow we're going to stop growing food and put solar panels on. farmland is just simply what he does call for a revolution . for a revolution revolution. for a revolution because times are economically are very clear. nigel it will jobs and growth it will lower

our bills . remember the reason our bills. remember the reason the economy really struggling at the economy really struggling at the moment is because of the crippling cost of energy, which is also a fossil fuel, which is all crippling our economy. the reason we have energy, 50% more expensive in many cases than france and germany. electricity being an example way more expensive for industries that america is, we been a net zero route for longer than anybody we've subsidised to hell are renewable industries by putting up bills and this is the it does green energy create jobs. yes lots of jobs in china manufacturing turbines manufacture featuring solar panels they're fitted here nigel you don't bring in people in china set up the way there are jobs in graham's be in hull and places like that . we have a places like that. we have a world leading offshore wind industry now that's putting to work people in scotland and all across the north seas and

putting who would otherwise be already out of work and putting out of work people who work in smelting. people who work in refining, people who work in chemicals thus far we've . 3 to 4 chemicals thus far we've. 3 to 4 jobs in traditional manufacturing industries to everyone the greens created. look we've been this route before. the reason we're losing manufacturing jobs is because labouris manufacturing jobs is because labour is cheap in other countries. it's not energy, it's a factor. thanks it's a factor . a factor. thanks it's a factor. well, in fact, people in china are being paid less to do the same job as here . now, unless same job as here. now, unless you want to reduce people's wages at a time of record inflation . no, i don't think you inflation. no, i don't think you would if you knocking down the wall with china. i want to have the shale gas revolution . the shale gas revolution. america. oh, that's easy america. oh, well, that's easy for to say, because bet for you to say, because i bet your house is not in the press on a new road in blackpool where there's a risk of damage to the house. well the people who are most in favour of everything are the ones don't houses. the ones who don't own houses. they very right now let's they have a very right now let's think about global dimension

think about the global dimension this. this quick this. okay, let's see this quick clip the great yesterday clip of the great yesterday northern germany and greta was you know, greta was there because the germans were being more pragmatic than us are going back to mining coal. and she was there a small hamlet is going to be demolished. the germans are now burning huge of coal. and by the way, lignite , you know, the way, lignite, you know, which is the way i get it, coal is you know, coal is ugly . which is the way i get it, coal is you know, coal is ugly. but here's the point about. greta's protest about the objections in this country to a new mine opening in cumbria. do you opening up in cumbria. do you how much ? might be a tough how much? might be a tough question, but do you know how much coal is going to be in the world in 2023? it'll be far more than we need to. well, the reason why i remember the reason why that burning more coal is because the russian invasion of ukraine now, not exactly true. it's true . they have got less it's true. they have got less gas to burn . tell you burning gas to burn. tell you burning more . but they are going to

more. but they are going to invest the figure . the figure is invest the figure. the figure is 8 billion tonnes. we will and mankind will burn more coal in 2023 than ever before in the history of humanity. why? because of the rapid expansion in china. why because other big countries like indonesia here, for example, has 243 coal fired power stations. china rebuilding with , burning less than ever with, burning less than ever before , or nigeria. but before, or nigeria. but developed countries as the point can move right here , a lot of can move right here, a lot of the country find it more difficult is the point. coal use is exploding . we produce less is exploding. we produce less than 1% of global gdp . if the than 1% of global gdp. if the cost of these policies is disadvantaged. us economically , disadvantaged. us economically, it doesn't make any difference to the world. i don't see how moving to renewables and becoming less dependent on massively expensive fossil fuels which are banking all our bills. households and businesses more expensive. how that would disadvantage as far is the same token but the same electricity from renewable oils can only

benefit. so far it's been very expensive. no, no, no very far south than offshore wind and natural gas. and onshore wind is even cheaper for natural . and even cheaper for natural. and for more on natural gas prices, that position natural gas prices go down as well as up. but what do you agree on point with me, whatever we. do we make no difference to the world in terms of net zero? that's not of net zero? now, that's not true that all leadership true because that all leadership matters lot. and when i talk matters a lot. and when i talk to people in china, they want to learn they want us to learn from us, they want us to make example they won't make by example what they won't do to and do is listen to us, try and bully and say we're going to drag our feet. we're going to spend even more war. you be spend even more war. you may be able try easterly one more able to try easterly one more sceptical well told sceptical moment well told jeremy a fulsome jeremy clarkson and a fulsome apology that made harry apology that he's made to harry and meghan. i wonder what .

the what the moment today jeremy

has issued a faux public apology to harry and meghan for what he wrote. he said he apologises from his toenails to the follicles on the top of his head could not be more fulsome . why could not be more fulsome. why has he done it? could not be more fulsome. why has he done it ? well, the reason has he done it? well, the reason is too all variety, which is a little celeb pr agency in america , says that and this is america, says that and this is really quite big that amazon who of course stream the grand tour and clerks and farm that amazon are going to cancel jeremy clarkson and that is why he's apologised but will these apologies work. apologised but will these apologies work . well in the last apologies work. well in the last few minutes a statement has been issued by the duke and duchess of sussex and it is pretty extraordinary . they acknowledged extraordinary. they acknowledged the facts that on christmas day there was a minor apology from mr. clarkson, a private , but
