100 projects across the uk . but 100 projects across the uk. but labour has criticised the plan, saying london and the south will be the greatest beneficiaries . be the greatest beneficiaries. mr. sunak insists that won't be the case. the north—west is the top region so the amount of money per person living that who came to help north—west who came second north—east and actually if you look down to the other end of the table, you find places like london , the places like london, the southeast. and the difference is huge.soi southeast. and the difference is huge. so i think the funding that you're all getting per person out of this levelling up fundis person out of this levelling up fund is twice per capita . what fund is twice per capita. what london, the southeast is getting. and that should give you guys a confidence that when we talk about delivering, levelling up and spreading opportunity across the country, that it. rishi that we really mean it. rishi sunak well, in other news today, two retired metropole police officers have been charged with child sex offences as part of an investigation . a serving met investigation. a serving met chief inspector who's been found

profits from six new offshore wind farms being developed on crown estate land to be redirected to those struggling the most . it comes after his the most. it comes after his majesty highlighted to the anxiety and hardship of the cost of living crisis . in his of living crisis. in his christmas message . those are christmas message. those are your top stories you up to date on tv , online and dab, plus on tv, online and dab, plus radio with gb news, the people's channel radio with gb news, the people's channel, where now it's time for . farage good evening. i don't know what it is about governments, but they have these big intellectual ideas. they try and sell to us and very often we don't really understand what they're talking about. david cameron talked about. david cameron talked about the big society. i'm still 12 or 13 years old. absolutely none the wiser as to what was being discussed at all. i'm one of the big ones, of course. now

that's after the northern powerhouse, cos we had years of a northern powerhouse once again. i'm still none the wiser. now we have levelling . i have no now we have levelling. i have no idea what it really means. i think what it means is taxpayers cash being sort of spread around the country , probably to very the country, probably to very little effect. i don't know. but tell me , do you understand what tell me, do you understand what levelling up actually means? give me your thoughts. far gb news. .uk well, hopefully i've got a chap with me tonight who can explain what levelling up is. he's the north—east somerset member of parliament, former business secretary. we're very pleased to have jacob rees—mogg here in the studio with us. thank you very much. great pleasure to be here, jacob as well. educated man, could you please tell us what levelling up is? yes i will try. the point of it is to avoid get away from the distortions we have in the uk economy. so a lot of the wealth the uk economy is based in london, in the southeast and thatis london, in the southeast and that is one of the richest parts of the world. you then move away

from london and you find that we've got of the country that have gdp per capita that is much more lowly ranked. what do you do to change that? well, it's things like building roads. it's making sure that people are connected. it's putting out superfast broadband so that people can do business in the countryside as well as in cities. levelling up is ensuring that a fair share of taxpayers cash goes to other parts of the country. okay. well if that's the case, then why is the southeast getting so much money? because there are bits of the south—east that aren't well—connected as well. my own constituencies are a very good example of this . i have some example of this. i have some parts of north—east somerset that are very successful and very prosperous, but some of the areas that tend to have been the old mining areas and people forget somerset had a strong coalmining tradition, have been left behind and giving them some help, some support to compete with areas are only a few miles

away is something that it's in or out and there was a great distortion i would say many problems in this country come from treasury analytics, but that's perhaps a different discussion that the treasury spent money dependent upon what it saw as the return on investment. now you'd say that was normally very sensible, but that meant your time was always in london and south—east because the south—east was richer to start with. and so there was a change in the green book to make it easier to have capital expenditure. taxpayers money, of course , outside. well, that's course, outside. well, that's all well and good, jacob. you know, government putting a bit of money here. a bit of money. they're building a road. i get it. however, you. i both know that actually, generally, for all of to become richer in all of us to become richer in this country, better off in this country needs in the country, it needs success in the private sector. it's the private sector that generates wealth, that generates taxes without which can't have a health which we can't have a health service anything else. now, service or anything else. now, i've very critical of much

i've been very critical of much of government's economic of this government's economic policy, overnight we see policy, and overnight we see a really coruscating article from james dyson, basically saying that the government's economics is short sighted. he even uses the word stupid. he says, you cannot just go on taxing private companies without people leaving the country. the conservative party are now we are now witnessing under a conservative government a brain drain we haven't seen since the 1970s. what is going on over at the highest tax rate for 70 years. james dyson sir james highest tax rate for 70 years. james dyson sirjames dyson. james dyson sir james dyson. absolutely brilliant man. completely what he's talking about, understand that's his business and has made a huge success of investing in this country. is he right? and one should listen very carefully to what he says. i mean, i think we have got too big a state full stop. we spend too much money and pay for that. we tax too highly. and we need to more realistic about this. we need to cut expenditure. we need to look at what we're spending money on. we need to root out wasteful expenditure. but more than

expenditure. but it's more than that. expenditure. but it's more than that . we've got to work out what that. we've got to work out what is the state trying to do. and it seems to tries to do it seems to me it tries to do too much . and the only way to too much. and the only way to get to lower taxation is if the state tries to do less and does what it does better. but what it does do better. but that's the bizarre thing. we've now conservative now had a conservative government, coalition government, albeit in coalition for years . now, for the first few years. now, since 2010, we've seen a bigger expansion state under the expansion of the state under the conservative lives than we did in the previous decade under laboun in the previous decade under labour. went for a millisecond labour. i went for a millisecond a conservative chancellor of the exchequer try to reduce the size of the state by a pretty modest half a% everyone goes crazy and they get sacked. i mean, this is really my point to. you the conservative party, i'm a party are now virtually indistinguishable on these big philosophical principles , such philosophical principles, such as the size of a state. whatever your personal, you may be . i your personal, you may be. i wouldn't go quite as far as that . you see that? sir keir starmer to i think wants nationalise the

energy industry so that only wants nationalised so there is written tooth and claw socialism within the labour party. you may say there isn't enough blue in and claw conservatism to party. well i think a bit unfair but. but but not wholly. but not wholly unfair. no, i. i think partly . but partly circumstances partly. but partly circumstances one goes through it. there was the coalition to begin with now that really hobbled us because the lib dems stopped us doing the lib dems stopped us doing the most conservative things that we would have done, then have very, very small majority . have very, very small majority. so theresa, even if she'd wanted to do bold things, which is slightly moot , didn't have a slightly moot, didn't have a majority to get them through then. boris wins a large majority and is immediately by covid, which even i thought justified an increase in state expenditure . i thought we had to expenditure. i thought we had to ensure that businesses could survive because if suddenly you

go from spending of 100 dinners an evening to zero, you are out of business. we haven't locked down. if we done what sweden did , what ron desantis did in florida , things would have been florida, things would have been very different. that's very interesting. i was actually having lunch with somebody who is swedish he was saying to is swedish and he was saying to me that the swedish restaurants were still because were still empty because everyone told don't go out, everyone was told don't go out, it legal but people's it was legal to go. but people's self regulating. well, i promise you that in florida and i was in florida during lockdown and i happen to agree with you, i think we need the real thing. the covid inquiry do is to look at whether lockdown was proportionate because i think it wasn't. not i fully bought into the first lockdown. i raising questions about it at that point but lots of people were raising questions later. yeah and if the inquiry doesn't look at that it will be pointless . it just looks will be pointless. it just looks at shall we have lockdown earlier. it would be really silly. no, i and you know and there also needs to be an open debate around the vaccine. there

are significant number of people concerned about vaccine harms. and i you know, i'm not going to get into the wild conspiracy theories, but i do think a proper debate on that is proper open debate on that is justified. tend to think that justified. i tend to think that if you have an open debate, it reassures people that the thing that people most nervous that makes people most nervous is if you're not willing to discuss it, if you try and discuss it, and if you try and shut down debate. having said that i think what one of my political eggs said was deeply irresponsible and just went well . he used a word. he went off the reservation in loving the word the bridgen used and he said it was from a from from an israeli doctor. but the word quite frankly any reference to the holocaust in any context isn't helpful. and i totally get that. jacob you know, you were a high profile , well—known high profile, well—known political figure. you've held very senior office . now on the very senior office. now on the back benches. what can jacob rees—mogg do as a backbench that he couldn't do as a minister ?

he couldn't do as a minister? probably rather more some ways than as a. i can come to you much more easily, which is that you don't a very good it has to be said, but very detailed briefings as to what you're allowed to say and what you're not meant to say. so i wasn't necessarily the best at following but tried quite following, but i tried quite hard . you can be involved in the hard. you can be involved in the pubuc hard. you can be involved in the public debate again , whereas public debate again, whereas when you a minister, you'll it very much to your spouse civic area . and in government. i found area. and in government. i found it was much easier to stop things and to make things happen. it is easier block than to push forward . and from the to push forward. and from the outside you can be a much more open part of the political debate. you're much freer to speak. well, that's a very good thing. so nicola sturgeon's law vetoed by sunak. has he got this one right? yes, he has. i mean, he's got it right on the narrow legal constitu tional ground, but it conflict with a uk wide

act parliament. yes. and hope has come out and said that the chance of a successful legal challenge is very remote . but challenge is very remote. but it's also right on the basis that that was a very bad law . that that was a very bad law. and has all sorts of risks within it that were not being properly considered. and to that, you know, he didn't send . that, you know, he didn't send. i'm saying that , but i'm a i'm saying that, but i'm a backbenchen i'm saying that, but i'm a backbencher, so i'm not allowed to simply already. we're getting your freedom . no, that's good. your freedom. no, that's good. there was a piece written by cheryl jacobs, yesterday's daily telegraph , and it was written by telegraph, and it was written by somebody who was a passionate, who was bitterly disappointed with what has not been delivered since that general election at the end of 2019, that we do an important piece of legislation going through the commons at the moment . you were very involved moment. you were very involved in from the early days, so we going to be successful. are we going to be successful. are we going to be successful. are we going to scrap thousands of eu laws ? yes. i mean, assuming the

laws? yes. i mean, assuming the house of lords doesn't try to block it and i think they won't because it got through the house of commons with large majorities , tory mps voted , rebellion for tory mps voted for one amendment. so it's got a lot of support in the commons. it's clear consequence of brexit. it has strong arguments for it on a basis in terms of tidying up the statute book, which is important and it is a important restoration of the common law for our way of doing things . and i shall jacobs is things. and i shall jacobs is a very good columnist and is always interesting , but i think always interesting, but i think she was much too gloomy . but she was much too gloomy. but brexit is a means to an end in the in the end. but are we trying to do. we're trying to govern ourselves and you and think that if we govern ourselves , we will do it better ourselves, we will do it better because ? it gives us an because? it gives us an opportunity to have lower taxes , be more deregulatory, to have immigration policy that suits us and on. there is always risk with brexit that . the electorate

with brexit that. the electorate decides to elect a left wing government that doesn't these benefits. but accept that and indeed embrace that because we believe in democracy as being fundamentally more important. it's actually tony benn's thing that he would rather of a bad parliament than a good king because a good king where you can sack the parliament and we couldn't sack the european commission. i get that. but do you understand the anger and frustration that britain's small businessmen and women are feeling, community, feeling, the fishing community, a they're saying, hey, a feeling they're saying, hey, we thing we're not feeling, we this thing we're not feeling, we this thing we're not feeling, we as yet. any we haven't as yet. so any benefit at all and we should do more. we should be punchier about what we're to help small businesses . for example, i think businesses. for example, i think is pretty we haven't taken this should help small businesses help consumers taking 5% vat or or fuel i think we should be doing brexit benefit. would it be clear that benefit everybody? so why does a conservative party with an 80 seat majority on the back of brexit not do these

things . back of brexit not do these things. there is partly it's been working through what can be done, partly the legislative process takes longer than you might like . partly some of these might like. partly some of these things are happening . so there things are happening. so there is a bill before parliament deal with financial services, solvency . it will be dealt with solvency. it will be dealt with and there's the gene editing bill which very important and you know, this hasn't much picked up, but you'll this we have save d £191 billion. forget have saved £191 billion. forget . th e £350,000,191 billion by . the £350,000,191 billion by not being part of the covid rescue package of over ,2 trillion. you know what that is a success? i wish time was being shouted rather more loudly. i genuinely do. i put it in an article in the telegraph and i'm interested in the house. of course, that's why you and you all are. you can do it. you also you also said that if the civil service go on strike on the 1st of february, wouldn't even nofice of february, wouldn't even notice because they're all working. love this working. well, if i love this idea, they're going be idea, they're going to be standing their house standing outside their own house with do, not

with the things they do, not quite the street. kids quite cross the street. kids might say who, will they be able to house to go into that house for supper? jacob pleasure. we look forward to a very forward to being a very outspoken campaigning backbenchen outspoken campaigning backbencher. now, that's enough from jacob, but i've got tell you something about jacob . you you something about jacob. you see, there's been a bit of gossip going around. indeed, the express online have run an article today saying jacob rees—mogg , a brexit champion, is rees—mogg, a brexit champion, is geanng rees—mogg, a brexit champion, is gearing to launch his own tv show on gb news. i won't embarrass jacob by asking him whether this rumour is or not because . not long ago he was because. not long ago he was a minister and the correct period of time is not elapse before he's allowed to say any other ventures . he's going to move on ventures. he's going to move on to i just hope that we'll be seeing a lot more of jacob rees—mogg on gb news. i really the rumours are true . in the rumours are true. in a moment we'll discuss the extension. prime minister sunak weighing into the debate yesterday and various boroughs on the outskirts of london.

beginning to fight card on. but is he is the right thing to do or.

not so after jacob , not so afterjacob , do you now so afterjacob, do you now really understand what up as well as some of your reactions coming in. david says it's all about trying to get his mates re—elected . spending our money. re—elected. spending our money. i'd rather he cut fuel taxes. well, interestingly there are some that say the levelling up money that's being spent being spentin money that's being spent being spent in areas that the conservatives won in 2019 and would quite like to hold on. i can't believe our politics is that cynical. can you ? another that cynical. can you? another viewer says no , i ain't got a viewer says no, i ain't got a scooby doo. what it means. sounds like something . a sounds like something. a landscape would say . what's up landscape would say. what's up with he's a father ? piper says, with he's a father? piper says, nope.

with he's a father? piper says, nope . seems like a buzz word, nope. seems like a buzz word, like build back better. adrian says no. and jonjoe says, and he's right here . he says, says no. and jonjoe says, and he's right here. he says , £2 he's right here. he says, £2 billion is a lot of money, but not for levelling up . in which not for levelling up. in which case it's a deeply unserious amount of money and actually truth is, a couple of billion pounds spread around the country. frankly makes almost no difference at all. we've got to get growth from the private sector . now, you. i'll be sector. now, you. i'll be talking a bit about the extension of you as it goes out to the very limits of greater london at the of august this yeah london at the of august this year. it's sadiq is very, very keen to do and for the first time and this is interesting because the past khan had said that the transport secretary was comfortable about the ulez extension i.e. comfortable about the ulez extension le. a conservative transport secretary that had been so many. it's not worth even naming any individual one. but when questioned on this , but when questioned on this, this is what rishi sunak , the this is what rishi sunak, the prime minister, had to say.

well, my honourable friend has rightly pointed out that transport in london is devolved to the labour mayor of london , to the labour mayor of london, and it is disappointing that the mayor, backed by the leader of the opposition, is choosing not to listening, not to the opposition, is choosing not to listening , not to listen to to listening, not to listen to the public. expand the zone the public. i expand the zone against overwhelming views against the overwhelming views of residents and businesses . i of residents and businesses. i urge the mayor to properly and respond to these serious concerns . the labour mayor concerns. the labour mayor imposing this tax on a public which does not want it. he's right to highlight that. expanding this though is not something that community is one and i look forward to working with him to urge the mayor to properly consider and respond to all these views and stop this unfair tax . well joining me to unfair tax. well joining me to discuss all of that is oliver lord head of the clean cities campaign in the united kingdom . campaign in the united kingdom. the big point, the prime minister was making there yesterday is this is not wanted or desired by the boroughs on

the outer ring of the london . the outer ring of the london. doesn't the pm have a point ? doesn't the pm have a point? well, i mean, the thing is it's getting quite political argy now i think because obviously it's going into a different heartland of london that is up against the mayor. but i think the mayor's absolutely right to be expanding this because of the impact air pollution having people's pollution is having on people's health and. well, that's all well good. but if you live well and good. but if you live where i live on top of the north downs, literally the border downs, literally on the border of kent and what is now it wasn't until 1960s but is now greater london . it is a rural greater london. it is a rural area . there are narrow roads area. there are narrow roads where only one car can go down. there are no issues. i mean, you can't talks about cars, talks about air pollution, climate change and congestion. we have no congestion. we have almost air pollution whatsoever. i get it in the centre of london , but it in the centre of london, but even the expansion of ulez that came out to the north south circulars erm it's quite interesting isn't it that imperial college's own study, you know they say changes in air

pollution varied quite significantly since 2019, but some cites pollution actually worsened . so a lot of this has worsened. so a lot of this has to do with wind direction prevailing winds. do you honestly think i've ask i really want an honest answer to this. do you honestly think that expanding out to the rural edges of some of barriers is going to make any difference at all. oh, definitely. i mean, the city is full of horrible diesel fumes. and, you know, that's what we've got to get rid of the city of. that's what our campaigns all about. we've we've got this vision to actually eventually phase out the combustion engine cities, and that's public health. i'll come that. health. well, i'll come to that. but i mean, for now, for now, the point is that this will rake in an estimated the point is that this will rake in an estimate d £385,000 a day. in an estimated £385,000 a day. khan has said poor people don't drive. that is utter rubbish because if you live out in the outer of the boroughs all around london , if you haven't got london, if you haven't got a car, you're knackered frankly. so disproportion fortunately those are lower incomes lower

low fixed incomes whatever it is are spending a lot on cars. i mean i've got a friend of mine. it's going to cos t £12.50 to go it's going to cost £12.50 to go by the newspapers every day. she can't afford a new car that's ulez compliant. it seems to be this is going to hit the poor. well, i mean, part of the issue that we're facing is people are trapped car dependent trapped in these car dependent lifestyles. when you lifestyles. right. and when you look statistics, actually lifestyles. right. and when you lcquarter statistics, actually lifestyles. right. and when you lcquarter of statistics, actually lifestyles. right. and when you lcquarter of allistics, actually lifestyles. right. and when you lcquarter of all cars, actually lifestyles. right. and when you lcquarter of all car journeys.y lifestyles. right. and when you lcquarter of all carjourneys in a quarter of all car journeys in england two miles. so england are under two miles. so i think the question here is whether actually have use whether we actually have to use the car all time. so if the car all the time. so if you're in london, for example, half trips could half of all car trips could actually be cycling doing around 10 minutes, which is one example of the change. understand the logic argument about logic of the argument about fumes central built up busy fumes in central built up busy london. what i'm saying is you must extension is going to bring no environmental benefit whatsoever and the poor and has no democratic support . and we've no democratic support. and we've learned this week the car literally binned 5200 objections that were put into this and he ruled them invalid. i there is no level at which this has

genuine democratic support. we're beginning to see are beginning to see some real pushback you know to this we've got hillingdon, we've got bexley , we've got bromley and they're, you know, questioning the legal legitimacy of tfl. transport for london to put these cameras. sasson interestingly. lib dem control . by the way, folks, the control. by the way, folks, the lib dems voted for the ulez extension in the assembly , but extension in the assembly, but now they're just saying we're not going to have this at all. i was quite flummoxed by that one, to be honest. i mean, with those boroughs, what i'm asking you is this was there is not been a proper democratic engagement with the people would be with the people who would be directly this. and directly affected by this. and it those on the it isn't those that live on the edge. it isn't those that live on the edge . it's businesses. you know, edge. it's businesses. you know, they could be in hertfordshire anywhere , essex, anywhere around anywhere, essex, anywhere around london , you know, businesses london, you know, businesses with vans . again, you taxing with vans. again, you taxing business, you're not going to stop. i mean, you know, you're not going to stop. khaja and is doing this and hasn't. my point you it has no

you read oliver it has no democratic mandate . well i don't democratic mandate. well i don't think because think that's true because there's massive there's just been a massive pubuc there's just been a massive public consultation that. public consultation on that. i mean, group that public consultation on that. i meétalked group that public consultation on that. i meétalked about group that public consultation on that. i meétalked about and group that public consultation on that. i meétalked about and this) that public consultation on that. i meétalked about and this whole you talked about and this whole argy bargy in consultation. so why ditch 5200 objections so it didn't just stick to that. it's not actually been ditched. they've been treat it as a campaign response actually campaign response and actually that campaigns that that for other campaigns that aren't few who actually aren't by fair few who actually for expansion and they for the ulez expansion and they were campaign responses so were also campaign responses so i think going back to i don't whether you run or not but i think what you said isn't the real point here and you touched on it earlier that ultimately we've seen we're seeing this in london got a pricing london we've now got a pricing scheme in the centre of birmingham, oxford birmingham, we've got oxford and, canterbury who want to stop us driving of the parts of city we live in, 50 minute rules and all the rest of it. ultimately you guys want road charging as a way stopping using cars. way of stopping using cars. ultimately, vision that we ultimately, the vision that we have is fewer combustion engines in the city because they're actually poisoning people. they're to they're actually leading to dementia , they're shortening dementia, they're shortening people's lives. they're shortening the lungs of

children. and that's what we want to get rid of. this is a bit like going back into the days when people were debating smoking in public places. there was businesses were was loads of businesses were like, pub going to like, oh, my pub is going to close they have closed close down and they have closed down thousands of down and they have thousands of i thousands of. but i disagree, thousands of. but that's a separate issue. look, i get argument, know, the get the argument, you know, the clean air act of the 1950s made london a more liveable place. i would want grow up in it would not want to grow up in it next a major arterial route next to a major arterial route coming the centre and coming out of the centre and people right. that. people are right. i get that. i understand that. but but frankly. frankly, there is frankly. but frankly, there is no alternative large no viable alternative on a large scale combustion engine scale to the combustion engine as is yet not on a large. as there is yet not on a large. but we're not saying let's get rid what this rid of it overnight. what this scheme is saying. let's go with the polluting car the oldest, most polluting car and the scrappage and actually have the scrappage money lord, don't money that oliver lord, i don't doubt sincerity. for one doubt your sincerity. for one moment in terms of what you want to to achieve, but i don't to try to achieve, but i don't disagree the basic with disagree with the basic but with the basic just think the ulez the basic i just think the ulez extension impractical, extension is impractical, wrong and will hurt. the poor don't like that little bit. we're going to take a break in a moment. i'll tell you what, tony

blair has got planned for all of us .

let it be through lack of ability rather than of ability rather than lack of effort and as long as you try hard, you can you won't fail. so that's a big lesson in life for a of young people. i think a lot of young people. i think these lot of young these days. a lot of young people there people now think there are shortcuts. really shortcuts. there are really other not all know you just got to work harder. whatever you do, even even the best even the best, even the best tennis the best tennis players, the best football players, the best businessmen, they work so hard. yeah, well do. yeah, yeah, they put me well do. yeah, but a manager that but it's as a manager that you've become much and at you've become this much and at times got be said times and it's got to be said very controversial thing . yeah very controversial thing. yeah fifa and uefa didn't me and so we've got to come to that don't we've got to come to that don't we don't worry i just thinking about it you know there are lots ofjobs about it you know there are lots of jobs life that risk lots of jobs. i mean this job i'm doing jobs. i mean thisjob i'm doing now i can say something incredibly stupid and you got i mean but but but actually the most precarious one of the most precarious in this country is being the manager of a top club. i mean , you've managed quite i mean, you've managed quite a few clubs over the years, don't you? yeah been around a bit, you

know, and be honest, every one of them was, it was total privilege to, to be the boss of something for however many supporters you've got is quite an honour and i was very respectful about and i wanted my team to try and do what my dad told me all those years ago. it was work hard because i would a football supporter play if they were wearing that club shirt they would go for their life, never give in but it general point yeah so it was a it was a character trait in me really and the moment i'm having a pleasure going round doing a documentary on other managers and why we keep going back. it's like being a vampire, you know, you can help it. you bet you. you it. but you're trying to affect people and i believe that's similar to what you've tried to do your life. and, you know , do in your life. and, you know, daughters are deaf. and i really don't tell. so you'll understand one. but as a football manager getting sacked is part of the job, isn't it? i mean, it

happens. how do you cope with that? have you dealt with that ? that? have you dealt with that? yeah, is it's bruised to yeah, that is it's bruised to say the least. it's that really, really hurts . you move your really hurts. you move your family and you take your wife there and she's got no reason to be there, apart from you and your selfish job. and you know, and she wants you to do the best you can. but, you know, i've moved her 48 times 48. so you've been with him all these years. we've been married 34 years. yeah and 48 moves. yes yeah. and what if i can put it in the people's mind. what she said to me once, just before i went into a different job, she said, please don't become the result this time. i don't know if. i could stand it. and football supporters will understand what i'm saying. because you do it every week, you? if your every week, don't you? if your team . you're every week, don't you? if your team .you're happy if every week, don't you? if your team . you're happy if they team wins. you're happy if they don't , you know, you've had don't, you know, you've had some. i mean, let's face it, you know, you took blackpool up to the premiership which they couldn't you took palace couldn't believe you took palace which a club that our family have been supporting for many,

many years. there's not many meditating to teams up to the that's got to feel pretty special. nobody else my special. yeah. nobody else my where i come from so i'm a one off a bit tiger really tops made a rubber bottoms made out of spnng a rubber bottoms made out of spring and you know obviously everywhere go i take it a little bit personally know where i'm from and i should be drinking cider and all that but make i've been so lucky and so proud of the people that have worked with . that's the thing that worked for me. they worked with me to try and make environment that is fearless and we going to go try and do our best. and the thing it's been very successful. some of the things i've done. yeah, i know. and you said with blackpool going up to the premiership outside your kids being born, it was kind of the best day of your life. yeah, i will never forget time stopped , will never forget time stopped, stood still and we had a horseshoe of the tangerine there. and i'm up on the balcony and our lads are receiving the trophy and i thought i can't

believe this and i swear to you it was life just stood still. i thought of all the people i've loved who are gone. my father a big influence and it was just totally incredible , you know totally incredible, you know fantastic because that's in history people come to , you history people come to, you know, they can't take it away from me. you've done it with two clubs. they can never take it away from me. now, personal life and you've had some difficulties some some profound with some some profound deafness with three children sort of three of your children sort of genetically trait, genetically inherited trait, your course , horrendous your of course, horrendous battle which which she overcame with cancer . so you've battle which which she overcame with cancer. so you've had a lot of challenges. you've had a lot of challenges. you've had a lot of challenges. you've had a lot of challenges. how how do you deal how a deaf child get the chance to fulfil their potential in life ? well, first off, in life? well, first off, they're lucky to have a wonderful mother my wife she handled non—hodgkin's. wonderful mother my wife she handled non—hodgkin's . they said handled non—hodgkin's. they said she had a one in three chance of surviving. they tried new drug on her quite a while ago. now it
