presented usually in black and white here, and it keeps away from it. i mean, you're very distance , those old pictures. so distance, those old pictures. so i think that going through modern ways of teaching and educating is also an tool to do that. educating is also an tool to do that . this is gb educating is also an tool to do that. this is gb news. we'll bnng that. this is gb news. we'll bring you more as it happens. now, though, it's over to you, patrick. all right, let's launch head first into your friday afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, will may on gb news aboard. now jeremy hunt has today decline ism about brexit. i think some people would argue that that's quite ironic coming from him and a major setting out his vision uk economic growth. the chancellor said it was his ambition to make britain the world's next silicon valley and claimed that the best tax at the

moment would be a drop in inflation. he also working age adults without a job get to work and in britain needs. adults without a job get to work and in britain needs . someone and in britain needs. someone should make a poster out of action that would hark back to a different time. joining me to give the detail is on jeremy hunfs give the detail is on jeremy hunt's massive speech gb news political reporter. utley olivia. now he says he's got an ambition to cut people's tax just. aren't you? mean he's going to do it? essentially, no so what jeremy hunt was laying today was his vision for the economy in, the years ahead. to be to hunt. we have been waiting for a speech like this with some sort of vision, the economy and ever since british came into power, there's a sort of vacuum where plan for the economy should be .jeremy hunt has now should be. jeremy hunt has now finally some meat on the very bones of what rishi sunak laid a couple of months ago. and the crux of the plan is to, as he puts it , turn britain into the puts it, turn britain into the next silicon valley to solve our

productivity and to unleash britain's genius, as he puts it. oh, yeah. now, there weren't very many details about how he's going to fix the productivity crisis. there's something about getting older people back into work. we do know that. we have a big problem with unemployment . big problem with unemployment. people even searching people who aren't even searching for but be working. for work but could be working. he also talked about regional helps canary wharf all over the uk which sounds quite expensive but otherwise there was very little. the big thing which sort of swerved around was the tax and he they had an ambition to have a low tax economy. he said at another point that he knows that a low tax economy is the right way forward for britain . right way forward for britain. but that was essentially for he he believes we afford to cut taxes now. absolutely one of the big questions i was asking you at the top, the show, ladies and gents, gb views the gb news uk is about not you vote is about whether or not you vote for brexit now don't for brexit again. now don't worry, randomly worry, i'm not just randomly barring brexit back into a show. i think a lot of people do

believe that debate as it's believe that that debate as it's been, many as literally been, what as many as literally won. light won. however, in light what jeremy hunt saying it was jeremy hunt was saying it was basically look believe in brexit britain if you're going to britain and if you're going to get who don't need to get people who don't need to work into work, you have to work back into work, you have to appeal that sense and that appeal to that sense of and that sense public duty. he's sense of public duty. he's saying needs you. is saying britain needs you. is that enough to convince people that enough to convince people that back britain that people don't back britain at the moment? well, i think he got the sort of rhetoric right we heard rishi through not giving a very depressing speech on steps of downing on his sort of steps of downing street moment and at least jeremy hunt is sort of talking britain. problem is that britain. but the problem is that the just hasn't cedes the government just hasn't cedes the government just hasn't cedes the regulatory freedoms that brexit affords and you know the entire point well for lots of people, the whole point of brexit was to be free from eu bureaucracy and red tape . but bureaucracy and red tape. but all the government has done so far is, is transfer eu laws into uk . of course they had to do uk. of course they had to do that for trans in time, but it's now been quite a long time and there is no indication that once they get rid of all those eu

laws , which they all plan to do laws, which they all plan to do over the course of this year, that they will that they'll actually be replaced with much less regulation. there a worry that pretty much everything just going replicated again? going to be replicated again? well concern. hoping well is the concern. i'm hoping you to shed some you might be able to shed some because a bit of this because i'm a bit guilty of this myself. ladies and gentlemen, which that which is you here was that bureaucracy and red tape and regulation and all news, you know, especially if especially if you domain if jeremy hunt, you know, domain number is delivering it said number one is delivering it said what actual red tape, what bureaucracy, what regulation could be replaced, what areas britain be unshackled ? well, britain be unshackled? well, this is a bit of an issue. whenever you start about the areas where britain could diverge from the eu , there are diverge from the eu, there are people who who worry about about any regulation is there for a purpose. in most areas. and removing it does bring up some difficulty. so one obvious one is food safety. and we know we have that row over the brexit referendum about chicken. i mean, good grief . can't just say mean, good grief. can't just say on that. by the way, the idea

that all of a sudden britain would use this new found freedom to make everybody's poisonous. is it why would we do this? the idea that just because we have the option to we would deliberately over workers deliberately tread over workers rights and we would make people's lives . why would that people's lives. why would that be the route that we would? well, yeah, exactly. i don't mean chlorinated chicken argument there is that there's a decent argument. all americans do chlorinated and do eat chlorinated chicken and we don't want to that famously right. some americans. well, they do yeah they might not be they do yeah they might not be the bunch but the healthiest bunch but chlorination chicken doesn't seem harmed them too much seem have harmed them too much so areas like this so far so are areas like this where be possible for britain where it be possible for britain to then will to diverge then you will definitely call dull. but definitely call this dull. but the solvency to reform aims, which is something that jeremy hunt recognised solvency to . so hunt recognised solvency to. so you rarely just i a minute go by solvency two every time i close my eyes which pieces of regulation can be scrapped to protect the freedoms solvency is one of the essentially it easier for businesses to operate it it

just slashes some of that red tape that gets in the way of a friction free. so there are all these areas that we could remove friction from business from a food trade from other forms of trade open up trade other countries. but it hasn't really been done yet . course, the been done yet. course, the government has been pretty distracted having a pandemic to contend with, but if we don't sort of seize those brexit freedoms, then it's all very well for jeremy freedoms, then it's all very well forjeremy hunt freedoms, then it's all very well for jeremy hunt to freedoms, then it's all very well forjeremy hunt to sort freedoms, then it's all very well for jeremy hunt to sort of talk about britain as the next valley, but it doesn't really mean and the sad thing is that it is that at the moment it is true that at the moment brexit means for lots of businesses is just more difficulty, more forms to sign. so the government has to a way through that. just lastly on this, i want to talk about getting some of the golden a fantastic we have an fantastic bunch of we have an ageing population don't we and that's a thing but. how that's a good thing but. how do we some those people back we get some of those people back into i that of into work? i worry that some of them off going into work because think good grief it's a minefield days in an minefield days being in an office surrounded young white office surrounded by young white

people. that could well be people. well that could well be true. another massive issue is the huge waiting list, which sort of its way into every area of life . but there are plenty of of life. but there are plenty of people who would like to go back to but can't because of a to work. but can't because of a bad or bad hit which needs to treated. but they're so far down nhs waiting list, they're just unable to get back into the workplace and we know that that is a big source of untapped potential. okay good stuff for that. we got jeremy hunt doing his best today to try to close those devastating opinion polls that we brought to you yesterday exclusively our news poll, exclusively in our gb news poll, didn't we did show that didn't we which did show that frankly tories are lagging frankly the tories are lagging behind single behind in basically every single department, including economic competence. so jeremy hunt doing his best, trying to reiterate the tory pledges. olivier, thank you very much. as ever washed away to kickstart the show, i'm going to delve into the usually world of blame box. now, ladies , gentlemen, gbviews@gbnews.uk uk. the reason i was asking you question is because jeremy hunt was saying wants us to was saying he wants us to

believe britain a bit more. believe in britain a bit more. he us all to go out and he wants us all to go out and back. brits in britain needs you. we need a bit you. and look, we all need a bit of don't we? i am of patriotism, don't we? i am sick and tired of people talking this country down. so many people don't people who remarkably don't appear anywhere appear to want to live anywhere else. isn't. but else. it's funny, isn't. but mitch yes , i would for mitch says yes, i would vote for brexit again . only if it was brexit again. only if it was a real brexit. and i think this is an issue, isn't it? unlike the dog's dinner that we've been fobbed off since the original vote? sometimes do . hark, vote? i sometimes do. hark, mitch, a time machine to go mitch, for a time machine to go back in time , not have theresa back in time, not have theresa may in charge of that initial brexit. and dare i say it as , brexit. and dare i say it as, well, maybe have full frontal not shackled by a coronavirus crisis. although a fair people i believe have seen a full frontal boris. ian sighs. absolutely vote again to leave . the problem vote again to leave. the problem is the government has not grasped the brexit advantages similar one less to mitch. i think as ever british politicians are the issue in preventing the country to succeed and it's on that as well that. i want to open this up a little bit. i was asking the

rather crude question. there is simplistic, i think, which is would for brexit again would you vote for brexit again so anyway, overwhelmingly it so far anyway, overwhelmingly it is, yes and glad that you is, yes and i'm glad that you saying that would actually saying that you would actually give to why you. give some reasons as to why you. would want it's would you want to see it's a little bit of a hard brexit by what you're saying so far, if not of course, touch. let not of course, get in touch. let me. not? maybe you didn't me. why not? maybe you didn't vote for brexit first time round. fair enough. tell why that is there wider that is. but is there a wider point which is maybe so point here, which is maybe so many in society, many. people in society, including political , don't including our political, don't actually believe in brexit. maybe don't actually maybe they don't actually believe have believe that we have the capacity go get people capacity to go and get people out, means that it sounds out, which means that it sounds a disingenuous sometimes a bit disingenuous sometimes when britain needs you. when they say britain needs you. come your bike. it's the come on, get your bike. it's the old bike stuff, old get on your bike stuff, isn't it? get yourself to isn't it? get yourself back to work. also being told work. if we're also being told from the corners of the from all the corners of the british pretty that british media, pretty much that britain is a horrible cesspit full of racists and pull public services and underpaid workforces, etc, then why would you be inclined to go and back country? more one. now chris country? one more one. now chris says always vote for says i would always vote for brexit to make a success of it. we need a government and civil

service to believe service eager to believe it. there go, like we there we go, almost like we planned it. chris well, i have got all of this still to come here with you loads actually loads prince loads because the prince princess wales got in princess of wales they've got in touch charitable side. touch with that charitable side. they're windsor food touch with that charitable side. they'|yesterday windsor food touch with that charitable side. they'|yesterday .iindsor food touch with that charitable side. they'|yesterday . they)r food touch with that charitable side. they'|yesterday . they are iod show yesterday. they are carrying on with duty. i'm also going to be getting an update on what's latest it comes to what's the latest it comes to prince andrew. what's the latest when it comes to harry and meghan in regards to meghan as well in regards to fact, it's 19 days fact, i think it's 19 days now until the coronation am also until the coronation i am also very, very poignantly and definitely a change to the rest of the show frankly we are going to be talking to a holocaust survivor that surely it holocaust day we do holocaust memorial day we do want to doff all cap to that really and private moments that i would make sure that people don't forget the utter utter horrors took place as. we horrors that took place as. we speaking to a survivor that born in a concentration camp actually speaking to a survivor that born in will)ncentration camp actually speaking to a survivor that born inwill beentration camp actually speaking to a survivor that born inwill be atration camp actually speaking to a survivor that born inwill be a fascinatingp actually speaking to a survivor that born inwill be a fascinating story.ally it will be a fascinating story. so looking forward to that so i am looking forward to that particular interview and just a couple other and bobs. couple of other bits and bobs. well, that think well, something that i think will get you going before. i jettison you off into the weather. did know that in

wisdom, to employ people can't read or write in english, which i think is probably a little bit of a shocker. we will be talking all about and much all about that and much, much more. to be going to more. also going to be going to the court case where we have individual lives in the shape of mark our security mark white's, our home security edhon mark white's, our home security editor. he's to bringing the editor. he's to be bringing the latest an individual been latest on an individual has been charged offences but charged with terror offences but before all of that the prince and princess of wales have been hands on a food bank close to hands on at a food bank close to that home on the royal windsor estate. food parcels for those in need their duty. it's understood that their royal highnesses wanted to those helping families struggling with the rising cost of living on royal reports a cameron walker is at for from windsor food is at for us from windsor food chef windsor is known a thousand years of royal history but is less than two miles from the famous castle. some locals rely on donation to stop them going hungry . the prince and princess hungry. the prince and princess of wales were keen to visit windsor food chair help volunteers sort parcels and learn about the supports they provide . sarah kember, who

provide. sarah kember, who manages service, thinks the free time people give up to help others is invaluable. i'm so lucky we have such an amazing bunch of volunteers willing to do stuff for us and come in and help. they do deliver us to people's homes. collections for us and them. it wouldn't be possible without donations we receive from the local community and the local soup markets. again, just wouldn't possible. william and catherine learnt how demand has soared due to the rising costs of living last yeah rising costs of living last year. windsor future feed over 7000 residents. that's an 18% increase on the year before food parcels , which holds bread eggs parcels, which holds bread eggs fresh , fruits and vegetables are fresh, fruits and vegetables are given to local households where it's likely lack of money means people go hungry. toiletries and cleaning products are also out each month . windsor christian each month. windsor christian action, which the foodbank at start with green baptist church explains what their royal visit means for the community see we

thought it would be wonderful for them to come and see and have hands experience hugely for our volunteers and. also, it raises the profile and at a time when need is increasing and pubuchyis when need is increasing and publicity is good . the prince publicity is good. the prince and princess of wales live with their three children just a short from the windsor future on the private's royal estate . it's the private's royal estate. it's understood prince william and princess catherine were keen to support their neighbours who are a lot less fortunate than themselves . i love, you know, themselves. i love, you know, yourideas themselves. i love, you know, your ideas , thoughts about where your ideas, thoughts about where we can make biggest difference next week, princess catherine is expected to a national campaign to help the youngest in society improve futures. it is understood this is her legacy improving children's lives for generations to come . cameron generations to come. cameron walker gb news. windsor well, there we are. i'm pleased to say that walker joins me in the studio now. we're going to

discuss this. but there's also another development another little development which i bnng another little development which i bring to you in just i will bring to you in just a second. royal related, of course, as let's just course, coming as let's just talk about this to begin with. the wilson they're doing the wilson kate they're doing that in about exactly that duty now in about exactly i mean everyone thinks of windsor and the castle they and they think the castle they think soldiers they think all the ceremony. but the pomp and ceremony. but actually are parts of actually there are parts of windsor you know , people windsor really, you know, people really to put food on really struggle to put food on the table. so from my understanding, the prince and princess were of the breadth of wealth . it were in the in the wealth. it were in the in the town and did want to go to food bank, which is effectively feeding their neighbours on the royal estates. i mean it's literally than two miles from the castle food bank. so it just, i think goes to show the differences of how people live. but yes , they were there. prince but yes, they were there. prince and princess of wales surprise visit the people the volunteers that actually know that the prince and princess were going to be there until an hour before they turned up. i mean, it probably a bit of a farce that they didn't have thoughts going. it was probably a bit of a they

probably were a bit curious. the media turned up and police officers that. but officers before that. but nonetheless found out an nonetheless only found out an hour was it hour before. but yes, it was it was a wonderful engagements from hour before. but yes, it was it waspeopleierful engagements from hour before. but yes, it was it waspeople i rful engagements from hour before. but yes, it was it waspeople i spoke|gagements from hour before. but yes, it was it waspeople i spoke to gements from hour before. but yes, it was it waspeople i spoke to thatants from hour before. but yes, it was it waspeople i spoke to that theyrom the people i spoke to that they were very pleased to see them and got hands on as you as you saw in my packet they got hands on so did you see a tin of soup in your hand as helping in your hand as well. helping and well i think and also as well i think i should just out it does look a little bit like kind of more couldn't have come in uniform today just yeah does wearing exactly telly we exactly the same on telly we obviously we went obviously didn't before we went on cardinal sin of on the tv the cardinal sin of television something television but there something else this has just else going on and this has just dropped in the last few minutes as far as i could see anyway which is that's an obe has handed back another the handed back another one of the celebrities old celebrities jumping on the old train well i'm far too woke train of well i'm far too woke to accept an honour from the monarchy. cumming yeah. the monarchy. alan cumming yeah. the x—men star the x , i mean, he x—men star the x, i mean, he posted this 7 hours ago, but really started to become aware of it last couple of hours . alan of it last couple of hours. alan cumming who if familiar with the

show traitors as well, he presents the us version of that he has handed his obe order of the british empire and just going to read you his reason this is the coates from alan cumming, the queen's death and the ensuing conversations , the the ensuing conversations, the role of monarchy and especially the way the british empire profited at the expense and death . indigenous people across death. indigenous people across the world really opened my eyes also, thankfully, times and laws . the us have changed and the great good the awards brought to the lgbtiq plus community back in 2009 is now less potent. that's why he got his for services to and advocacy for lgbt issues . so i returned my lgbt issues. so i returned my award i'm sorry less person's misgivings i have being associated with the toxicity of the british empire and i have returned my award. gosh i look i am sure for what it's worth all of the marginalised people in the world right ? both the world right? both historically and today , be

historically and today, be breathing a big sigh of relief that alan cumming has handed his obe back. but this is part of a wider push. i think it concerns this is it now because look, way you tried to dress this up clearly are a huge number people out there who unfortunately see the monarchy is intrinsically unked the monarchy is intrinsically linked with historical wrongs . linked with historical wrongs. well, there are two sides to this story on that i mean, it is well known facts. back when well known facts. way back when , about 300 years ago, i think it started the reign of queen elizabeth, the first british the british empire involved in slavery and the british royal family did in directly profits, perhaps from that. however the king charles has acknowledged on a number of occasions now that we need to acknowledge the wrongs which shape our past. that's what he said during one of his speeches. oh, clearly british honours system is . to british honours system is. to really elevate ordinary members of the public who have done work for their . and i think the vast for their. and i think the vast majority still see it as a great

honour if i were invited to buckingham palace to receive an award from a member of, the royal family and unfortunately the only well fortunately or unfortunately, whichever way you look at the honour system is a member . the look at the honour system is a member. the british empire order of the british empire, etc. but i think it's british tradition really, and i think the honour system has no link really to the historical trade. no. well, indeed well, look, thank you very much for that. cameron, come walk out. well, reports are bringing you a couple of royal related stories. what do you make gentlemen of these make you gentlemen of these people handing some people handing back this some kind protest really the kind of dirty protest really the owners them by our owners given to them by our monarchy for various difference 7 monarchy for various difference ? quite offensive. and ? i find it quite offensive. and to be honest, if you don't want it, you don't see it quite literally as a badge of honour. then you're more than welcome to hand i wouldn't turn my hand it back. i wouldn't turn my nose that's for sure, nose about one, that's for sure, though. would the though. i would go to the opening fridge door. to be opening of a fridge door. to be fair, i was going to delve into the inbox quickly before we head over latest over to get your latest headlines, little bit what

welcome back . now, as you all on welcome back. now, as you all on this show, i normally like to kind of cross through the news head first at a very, very high tempo and hit all of the topics that may be special on the front papers and just to kind of have a lot of audience interaction. but sometimes to slow but sometimes you need to slow it a little bit mark it down a little bit and mark something incredibly poignant

it down a little bit and mark som incrediblyredibly poignant it down a little bit and mark som incredibly important. nant it down a little bit and mark som incredibly important. and and incredibly important. and today marks 78 years since the liberation of the auschwitz concentration camp is commemorated by holocaust memorial day and today's been marked by ceremonies memorials to remember the millions killed by the regime's mass murders and the genocide . the theme of this the genocide. the theme of this year's commemoration is ordinary people. apparently and it's been done to symbolise how anyone can be a victim or a perpetrator of . and i'm very pleased. be a victim or a perpetrator of . and i'm very pleased . with me . and i'm very pleased. with me now is eva clarke, holocaust survivor , a born in a survivor, a born in a concentration camp . i'm just concentration camp. i'm just going to read out a little bit of information as well. eva was one of only three babies born in austria's mauthausen concentration camp who actually survived the holocaust and even resigned now. eva, thank you very much for joining resigned now. eva, thank you very much forjoining me here on gb news. how are you first and foremost on what is well, a momentous day day ? well, i'm

momentous day day? well, i'm glad to say that i'm well. and i think can tell you that the other two babies are also very well . oh, good. okay well, look, well. oh, good. okay well, look, what does this really mean for you ? well, obviously, it has you? well, obviously, it has a very poignant day , because this very poignant day, because this is when i remember of my family who perished in auschwitz . and who perished in auschwitz. and i come from a quite large, extensive, extended family, but my extensive, extended family, but my mother and i were almost the only survivors from immediate family . so it is very poignant. family. so it is very poignant. and my mother my mother lived to a ripe old age of 96. and she always is mark this day either with a holocaust memorial day ceremony is when she lived with my husband and i here in cambridge or before that, when she was in cardiff. she always

attends every year the ceremony that , you know, this attends every year the ceremony that, you know, this is a bit of a difficult to ask and sure is going to be a bit a difficult one emotionally to answer. but one emotionally to answer. but one of the main reasons behind commemorating days like today holocaust day is to try to remind people of those horrors , remind people of those horrors, try to make sure that those horrors don't happen again . and horrors don't happen again. and i am sure that mother must have to you some of the stories of what it was like in a concentration camp. but if . all concentration camp. but if. all right with you, would you be okay to maybe relay a couple of those things to our viewers and to our listeners please? oh, right . it's very difficult to right. it's very difficult to know. either where to begin or what tell you, because my mother was incredibly in concentration camps for three and a half years. that a remarkably long penod years. that a remarkably long period of time and she said the main reason for that was that

she was young strong and well able to work and she said look , able to work and she said look, i had an awful lot to do with it. and she is one of the very few people this have never heard many others who actually volunteered to go to auschwitz . volunteered to go to auschwitz. and the reason she volunteered to go to was because my father had been sent at the end of september 44 and she volunteered to go the next day because she had absolutely no idea where he'd been and having three years up to that point, she well, nothing could get any worse . but nothing could get any worse. but in fact, she never , ever saw him in fact, she never, ever saw him again . and she heard from again. and she heard from friend, a mutual quite soon after the end of the war that my father had actually been dead on a death march near auschwitz . on a death march near auschwitz. on the 18th of january 1945. and two days and 27. so just a week later, it was liberated . the later, it was liberated. the russians . goodness gracious me .

russians. goodness gracious me. and today, of course, does mark the 78th anniversary since the of auschwitz . i've got in my of auschwitz. i've got in my notes a word that i, i believe 15 members of . your families 15 members of. your families that writes were were killed at the holocaust , that writes were were killed at the holocaust, is that right? and it outfits specifically . can and it outfits specifically. can i ask you , do you hold the huge i ask you, do you hold the huge amounts of , i ask you, do you hold the huge amounts of, internal i ask you, do you hold the huge amounts of , internal resentment amounts of, internal resentment , anger for what went on and what was done to your family and countless others ? well, it might countless others? well, it might surprise you to know no i don't feel anger , because my mother feel anger, because my mother never felt anger. she felt in sadness at the tragedy that has happened to our family. but she said, if you tend to be up with anger and bitterness , you can anger and bitterness, you can never move on. so you know, we it is ingrained , terribly it is ingrained, terribly poignant, incredibly sad . but

poignant, incredibly sad. but there's no point in maintaining a sense of bitterness because you can't move on. and the point is , you know, i mean she doesn't is, you know, i mean she doesn't she said she wouldn't know if she said she wouldn't know if she ever met who was who might have been the perpetrator, but but as the years went by, she said good few and few of those those people are still around. and but having said that, she would have always wanted people were suspected of war crimes to be brought to justice, confront their crimes and to be confront and find their crimes because just because they're now in the eighties and nineties, it doesn't lessen the crime . but doesn't lessen the crime. but having said that , she felt and having said that, she felt and i agree, she felt that there wouldn't have been much point in their being punished because age. but what we both felt was that if were able that of punishment they should be well and you make somebody but certainly encouraged to tell of

their experience because they were witness now so she said i agree to interrupt you could never ever blame any generation in the younger generations because were not guilty. no exactly. and i think that was an incredibly noble outlook and attitude. i am always in awe of people like yourself, really. and you see these on documentaries about various different, horrific crimes that have taken place known quite on the scale. of course , the the scale. of course, the holocaust. and you hear people time and again talk about either forgiveness or being able to let go of resentment because actually nobody wins. as you alluded there, if your entire life is spent up by anger and rage. but i think it's easier said than done. and i am not sure if i will possess the kind of mental capacities that you yourself have and the emotional maturity to let things go. would you recommend that the holocaust is taught on every school

curricula or that as many children growing up now in this country are sent on school trips to places like our office? so they can actually get more of a first hand experience? because my concern is that a of these pictures that we see of it all are in black and white and as with every year that goes by, it seems further and further away and maybe makes it more unrealistic actually, unrealistic than it actually, unfortunately is . no, i unfortunately is. no, i definitely that education should and ideally it should happen in every school . and there is a lot every school. and there is a lot of education done being carried out . i of education done being carried out. i also of education done being carried out . i also it of education done being carried out. i also it is very valid for people to go to these sites such as auschwitz, but there are others as well because it's strange. i've been to auschwitz times. i've been to all three camps where my mother was, where our family was , and it it, it's our family was, and it it, it's it somehow it does add something to be in that place . it's, it's

to be in that place. it's, it's quite an overwhelming . and i was quite an overwhelming. and i was fortunate enough to actually go to there is no traces the first camp with my mother and also mount house in austria where i born. we went together and you can imagine that was extremely emotional and we sort of clung to one another and were just grateful to be alive. my mother could never go back to auschwitz because she said that's where everybody was killed. as i say, i've been to auschwitz several times because one time i worked for the holocaust education trust in london and i used to accompany students . but it was accompany students. but it was always very emotional, very harrowing . but i was , always very emotional, very harrowing. but i was , i was always very emotional, very harrowing . but i was , i was glad harrowing. but i was, i was glad to be able to do it. well, it's remarkable story . and you are remarkable story. and you are clearly a remarkable woman , i clearly a remarkable woman, i must say. it's been an absolute i'm not to interrupt you again. i'm not to interrupt you again. i'm not to interrupt you again. i'm not the person who's remarkable is my. oh, well, there you go. well, i'm sure

plenty of all our viewers and listeners would agree that you are also a very remarkable woman indeed. are also a very remarkable woman indeed . but eva, look, it's been indeed. but eva, look, it's been honoured to be able to talk to you all bates about well necessarily very sad and tragic circumstances but clearly as well to try to get your testimony really and learn from you frankly so eva thank very much and we'll talk again very soon, eva. there is a holocaust survivor born in concentration camp, a tale of relationships . camp, a tale of relationships. but what about that? forgiveness and not lack of internal resentment ? i find that resentment? i find that remarkable, really to think about all of that. get your views coming in, gb views at gb news dot you . okay, look, we're news dot you. okay, look, we're going to have a of a gear change here. now, listen, gentlemen, i'm to get back more to the i suppose you could say the more live news of the day as it was a 27 year old man has appeared court today after being charged with preparing a terror attack was arrested at leeds hospital with explosives and an imitation

firearm. our homeland security editor mark white has more for us on this . well, so very us on this. well, so very alarming details emerging in this case here at westminster magistrate court relating to the arrest of 27 year old muhammad farouk . he arrest of 27 year old muhammad farouk. he was detained arrest of 27 year old muhammad farouk . he was detained outside farouk. he was detained outside st james's hospital in leeds around 430 last friday morning after a telephone call to the police from a worried member of the public . when police detained the public. when police detained this man , they allegedly found this man, they allegedly found a number of items, including a pressure which was, we're told packed with 13 kilograms of explosive . they also recovered explosive. they also recovered an imitation firearm. the military bomb disposal unit was called to the scene to carry out an examination of the contents of that pressure cooker and deemed as a viable device . no. deemed as a viable device. no. muhammad farouk appeared via video link from bradford at this court a prison issue greeting

just read the and you think, goodness gracious me, are goodness gracious me, we are living clown. but yes, living in clown. well, but yes, here are again, people, here we are again, people, because we have been anyway because we have been told anyway that crime inspectors that hate crime inspectors warned applicants, you can warned the applicants, you can bear they write in english are being accepted into the police in order to improve diversity a collection words that should never really have to go . but never really have to go. but alas, they do. hey, jim i'm matt parr said that once the metropolitan police force should aim be more representative of the community serves. this should not come at the expense of standards. it shouldn't take anyone to actually really have to say out loud. but alas, here we are joins now, police we are in joins me now, police commentator. and author how commentator. and author of how to a police officer graham to be a police officer graham thank you very much. now by definition, author how definition, that author of how to officer, you can to a police officer, you can read write in english. how does it make you feel to know that the author diversity wokeism the author diversity and wokeism now we are employing people in our forces cannot that our police forces cannot do that i think. well it's the worst of the hmrc is actually it's it go without saying as you rightly

said that you should be able to read and write legibly in engush read and write legibly in english to be a police officer . english to be a police officer. itook english to be a police officer. i took recruits for seven years. we many people from different backgrounds, diverse backgrounds, diverse backgrounds, different country , backgrounds, different country, etc, some with is english wasn't their first language and learning the law is really, really challenging and really difficult learning the definitions but then being definitions etc. but then being able to construct a good crime report, right and you do need more than just the basic level of knowledge, of writing. understand in english yes, you one would have thought that this was a pretty requisite really a being any near our police force. i read with some interest that there is quotas that has got to be a quota these days. if your institution doesn't have a quota. you are frothing racist organisation. me tell you that much. but the met apparently set a quota of its officers , a quota of 40% of its officers, its recruits being from the black and ethnic minority communities. by 2023 its 2023 supposed. only % are now bame.

supposed. only% are now bame. why on earth does the police have be looking at 40% nearly half of its recruits coming from black and ethnic minority if indeedit black and ethnic minority if indeed it does mean , you end up indeed it does mean, you end up recruiting some people who can't speak english. i think it comes to it comes back to again , there to it comes back to again, there are some politicians people in society saying that the police should be more representative of the community. also and i understand that that should that should happen. but same should happen. but by the same token, you need to recruit the right , not just boxes and right people, not just boxes and boxes and targets. and this is why targets over actual why the targets over actual recruiting , there were cases of recruiting, there were cases of people actually applying to be a police officer and being pushed aside because they don't quite fit a particular box because when you have targets like these, in the met, but these, not just in the met, but across police forces, across all police forces, they've got targets the they've all got targets at the moment. they've got targets there been set. those there and it's been set. those people government then people in government and then they're people just they're recruiting people just to the target as opposed to to meet the target as opposed to people with respect. graham i think the british public do care about targets. they care about

targets. comes to how many targets. it comes to how many convictions of we got, how many people being prison people are being sent to prison for rape. i mean, those figures are shocking. the amount of charges being brought. fast charges being brought. how fast the officers there on the police officers there on scene, . can stop scene, a stabbing. can we stop stabbings, example? i mean stabbings, for example? i mean take pick. people want to take your pick. people want to that i dare say that what people i dare say don't want to see is police officers taking the knee outside downing i don't people downing street. i don't people want police officers want to see police officers doing lgbtq+ march. doing the it's an lgbtq+ march. i certainly don't want to say and i'm reading a headline now so anyone who says making so anyone who says i'm making this i'm not about a new this up? i'm not about a new police recruits bringing in a giant eight inch snail with him to work to calm his nerves . the to work to calm his nerves. the snail died so , may rest in peace snail died so, may rest in peace and all of that stuff. i imagine his nerves were shot after that. but oh, we just missing out the right of targets, which is solving crime at the expense of hitting diversity . yeah hitting diversity. yeah possibly. but again, it comes to down recruitment and vetting. i know about this now story of two virgins. that one was in london, one was in the midlands

somewhere. and that particular individual didn't actually go on to join the police. they were actually dealt with by the recruitment team over the training team and resign their post. but it down to recruitment and vetting and if you set targets for recruitment either departments or external parties they're going to hit their targets . that's what they're targets. that's what they're based on. so they were recruit people what may it's then people come what may it's then down i say it when the down to dare i say it when the police get either police get them either identified they're not identified that they're not suitable getting suitable and actively getting rid of them or identify them when they first apply. it when they first apply. so it comes down to again, recruitment and vetting. we keep talking about policing. yeah, about in policing. yeah, indeed. thank much . graham lo, thank you very much. graham lo, great have the show. great to have you on the show. graham police graham watson, police commentator of be graham watson, police c( police tator of be graham watson, police c( police officer. of be graham watson, police c( police officer. i of be graham watson, police c( police officer. i suspect)f be a police officer. i suspect people learn a thing or two from that chap, don't you? with me? patrick christys on gb news. loads the next loads more to come in the next houn loads more to come in the next hour. licence? yes. we'll return to story throughout the to that story throughout the because he's got going into because he's got you going into a gb views uk rather witty a box gb views uk rather witty responses and also are going to be talking and returning to the topic well, which whether or topic well, which is whether or

back to. patrick well, welcome back, everybody. you're with me, patrick. own gb news now jeremy hunt is today rejected . i can't even say it. rejected. i can't even say it. rejected, declining about britain in a major speech setting out his vision for uk economic growth, the chancellor said it was his ambition to make britain the world's next silicon valley . claim that the best tax valley. claim that the best tax cut at the moment would be a drop in. he also urged working age adults without a job to get back into work, taking them . back into work, taking them. britain needs you . joining me to britain needs you. joining me to give the details and jeremy hunfs give the details and jeremy hunt's speech is gb news is political reporter is olivia utley. so he's kind of sabre rattling here, isn't he? he's saying, come on, britain needs you. get yourself back to work. golden oldies. yes. so we know that there is a big problem in economy with working age people not working for whatever whether that's just because they decided that's just because they decided that they're financially secure enough not to need to or because

they're on one of these extremely long nhs waiting lists and condition is and have a condition which is preventing from going back preventing to go from going back to hunt is part to work. but jeremy hunt is part of his plan to do to solve britain's productivity puzzle as he calls it is to get those people back into work . is he calls it is to get those people back into work. is his vision to be of a sort of silicon silicon valley in britain is what he calls it but 7 britain is what he calls it but ? there are plenty of people on the conservative and in the wider public who were worried that that vision doesn't really link up with what he's trailing for the budget ahead . exactly. for the budget ahead. exactly. you can't just interject to this point because in order get people back to work, in order , people back to work, in order, get people really believing in britain, you've got to have some bluster. you've got to have some passion, haven't you, for this country? you've to make it seem like you really this country. i believe i. have a little clip of jeremy now, just just delivering message. let's just have a listen to this . some the gloom listen to this. some the gloom is based on statistic that don't

reflect the whole picture . like reflect the whole picture. like every country, our growth was slower in the years after the financial crisis than before it . but since 2010, the uk has grown faster than france, japan and italy . i want to ask you to and italy. i want to ask you to help the uk into the world's next silicon valley. if anyone is thinking of starting or investing in an innovation or technology centre . i want them technology centre. i want them to do it here . a flat could to do it here. a flat could bnng to do it here. a flat could bring it here, so a glass, couldn't they? well, you. because it was only intel sales of one for one. please buy this mug. but please pay for the love of god by. the smoke. the walls are at my door. i mean olivia. he's not exactly trying. instil confidence as in people is he sounds apologetic britain. no, he's said to me that they're sort of something of the undertow. you care about being of the undertake about jeremy irons delivery . and actually irons delivery. and actually there's an argument that that

feeds through into the substance of what he's saying too because he's saying all this nice about believing in britain and pushing back against the decline. it's narrative. but there are plenty of people who well, the of people who argue, well, the simplest quickest way to level up , to cut people's up britain, to cut people's taxes, to cut corporation tax, to allow businesses to invest in their staff to allow ordinary people to do better for their families to and send them to better schools or whatever, is to sort of empower the ordinary person level up. but jeremy hunt , his in his slightly morose way , keeps telling us that that that simply isn't possible for now. and fair enough. that might be the correct strategy that. he believes cutting inflation believes that cutting inflation is more important than is far more important than that and cutting inflation is and that cutting inflation is impossible tax the impossible while cutting tax the same will that. same time. economists will that. but that is hunt's position . so but that is hunt's position. so that's position. all right. that's his position. all right. so realistically, not the most inspiring, man, as you said, that you don't really want to be described to is that jeremy described to you is that jeremy is iceland , something of is in iceland, something of the undertaker about him. there we are. to my surprise, he arrived

that particular press conference in thank in a hearse. olivia thank you very much. utley our gb very much. olivia utley our gb news reporter bringing news political reporter bringing you bongo today from jeremy wake and join now is shanker singh, of whose ceo of composite life and former advises the uk. secretary of state trade on the united states trade . great united states trade. great stuff. so look , jeremy hunt is stuff. so look, jeremy hunt is saying, come on, we need to believe britain. we need to stop accepting decline. come on, give us something believe in. us something to believe in. yeah, well, basically , on the yeah, well, basically, on the bafis yeah, well, basically, on the basis of what olivier said, i think maybe she should be the chancellor but i think he focussed on three things that were right to focus on. one is economic growth, one is enterprise and one is productivity. i think when he talks about decline ism and the statistics , it is certainly true statistics, it is certainly true that the uk. has grown a comparably to, you know, some of the european member states. he quoted after the financial crisis. but what is also true is that gdp per capita growth in the u.k. has lagged some of the

faster growing countries. and if you genuinely in britain, then you genuinely in britain, then you to benchmark britain to the faster growing countries, not not the notorious sluggish countries in the world. so first thing i'd say is let's look at productivity. it's about increasing gdp per capita economic growth, enterprise of this stuff, it's all linked . and this stuff, it's all linked. and what you need to do and i think what you need to do and i think what people want to see is a lot more detail on how we going to lower costs for business lower costs for people and, working families in the critical sectors , energy, transportation and housing, etc. all of that is your regulatory reform agenda . your regulatory reform agenda. so what are you doing on your regulatory reform agenda? we've had some financial services reforms that a good start but we and we got obviously the eu law bill which is also a start, but we now need to stop talking about reform and we need to do it on the agenda. i'm going to interrupt because i think you've

struck on a little nuggets of gold that oh. is asking, oh, wonderful viewers and listeners earlier on. so email as to whether not they still whether or not they would still back brexit the overwhelming back brexit and the overwhelming majority yes i would majority of yes i would absolutely vote in of brexit again. however they want what they call a proper brexit want us to take the proper advantages that have from being that we can have from being nimble this big nimble and, free in this big wide world. so what can our chancellor do right now? what can government do now can the government do right now that not been doing to try that we've not been doing to try to maximise the potential of . to maximise the potential of. brexit right. so, so break rule brexit right. so, so break rule brexit is, is a decision to leave the eu it's a decision to have control over your laws have control your trade policy. you have control of your borders how you exercise that control determines it's a success or failure and we have certainly left what i think we haven't doneis left what i think we haven't done is have the have made the decisions about what is the country we want to actually in

and how do you maximise those opportunities. now they've done some things on or on trade policy is important for businesses to have access . other businesses to have access. other markets, especially those fast growing markets, particularly nonh growing markets, particularly north america and asia—pacific . north america and asia—pacific. so we all they all reorient to the uk's trade policy in the right direction but the biggest bang for your buck is going to be regulatory reform. what you do at home, how you change domestic regulatory system that we've seen very little on and that needs to be super accelerate ated . and then the accelerate ated. and then the third area where they need to accelerate think but they are doing slightly better i think in this regard is how you manage your borders and particularly with respect to flow of goods as well as people and on border management , flow of goods, management, flow of goods, things like, you know, that are great aspirations, that have announced like, you know, we going to have the best border the world 2025. we're to have the world by 2025. we're to have a single trade window. we're going to have all of these things. these are good

things. and these are good things. and these are good things things you things and these are things you need some real heft need to put some real heft behind. statements behind. these statements of ambition. can do ambition. and if you can do those things that think those three things that think you can then stall, asking question about whether this was an economic success or not an economic an economic success or not an economic success. an economic success or not an economic success. but if you look at the move , the point is look at the move, the point is just just because we're a bit prosperity but a slightly prosperity time, but a slightly broader here. you broader question here. you you're man , the world you're you're a man, the world shonky. you've been at the thick hand politics behind the hand of politics and behind the scenes for a good scenes in business for a good number you some number of years you at some point what how people trying point what of how people trying to things to you you to sell things to you you probably had to sell probably would have had to sell things whether things to other people whether it's business sense it's in an overt business sense or policy a on an idea. i you or in policy a on an idea. i you take a look at jeremy hunt and to a lesser extent possibly rishi sunak . well, and i see an rishi sunak. well, and i see an incredibly dull man a suit incredibly dull man in a suit who doesn't look like he particularly backs britain, certainly particularly certainly didn't particularly back do you buy back at all. well, do you buy anything him ? well think anything off him? well think what matters is, is the substance of what he's delivering . and yes, we can delivering. and yes, we can certainly have a debate about

his style. and of course, everyone a politician to be able develop, you know, to deliver a vision that people can get behind and believe in and have confidence in. but equally important is the actual substance. if you can deliver to working families cheaper you basically your weekly shopping basket is going to be this much cheaper because of the regulatory reforms that we've been able to put in place. your business going to be this much more successful because of the productivity reforms and so forth we put in place . know forth we put in place. know i think people won't really care that he, you know, he has this delivery. but if you don't put things into place, you really have anything. and i think the focus needs to be how we actually turn this into reality . we spent many, many years debating this, talking about this it is time for action now . this it is time for action now. and i think that's what people want to see. okay, fair enough. isupposeitis want to see. okay, fair enough. i suppose it is like you've identified that when people walk into a supermarket and they see

the price of goods, when they see the price of interest rates are open their wallet, are when they open their wallet, frankly, see what know frankly, and see what they know they balance, they open that bank balance, what's in that cheque at the end of the day as well. and that is really what is going to be the really what is going to be the real i do as real substance. i do think as well, there's a lot more to it, not immediately. jeremy not immediately. and jeremy huntsberry, when it comes to things been going on things like what's been going on the very visual things the channel, very visual things and feeling like if we are paying and feeling like if we are paying whopping load paying a whopping wage load of tax the which a lot tax at the minute, which a lot of are feeling like the of people are feeling like the bang buck for that bang for their buck for that money well. and if jeremy money as well. and if jeremy hunt can create a situation where physically where he can actually physically point right, point at things and go, right, look, this happening and look, this is happening and people can feel about difference that i suspect. you're that i suspect. yes, you're right. care right. maybe people won't care too that he sounds like too much that he sounds like a wet weekend in slough. thank you very shankar shankar very much, shankar shankar singing composer former singing composer and former uk trade lots trade adviser. i've got lots more your way. it's an more coming your way. it's an action show. you action packed show. we want you to your friday with to start your friday with a little affairs. yes. all little bit affairs. yes. all right. hunt stuff right. we've done hunt stuff that to just it's an that now to just it's an interesting because he interesting one because is he actually going reach his actually going to reach his final destination so essentially been long delayed way before he

even had the chance to actually not time anyway, which he not run on time anyway, which he inevitably is he actually inevitably won't is he actually going to end where exactly it going to end up where exactly it was going up? a bit was going end up? it's a bit like a ryanair flight this isn't it. we're to be it. already we're going to be talking about that, do you think i just is expensive mistake. i just too is expensive mistake. i'm to be talking i'm also going to be talking about the met about the fact that the met police now recruiting in police are now recruiting in a desperate quotas, people desperate bid to quotas, people who speak who apparently can't speak english, mean. good english, which i mean. good grief. just when you thought the world get madder, we're world get any madder, we're going talking about all of going to be talking about all of that. the latest that. we've also got the latest as from a terror trial, there's more to but before that, more to come. but before that, it's whether deakin it's all go. whether alex deakin here weather here with your latest weather from the office, most of us from the met office, most of us will weekend . quite a lot will a dry weekend. quite a lot of cloud around but some sunny spells sunday will be a little bit milder than high pressure is trying to control our weather but kind of from a distance. and every now and then around the top of it, weather fronts are pushing southwards. and this one is going bring some wet is going to bring some wet weather evening across weather this evening across parts scotland parts of western sky, scotland starting off in the western isles, the northern isles trickling into the mainland. by

the the night, we'll see the end of the night, we'll see some getting down some of that rain getting down towards and also e king towards glasgow and also e king into ireland, into northern ireland, but nothing for most of nothing too heavy for most of england. a dry night england. wales, it's a dry night in that will be in the south though that will be a frost where we keep clear skies and, some dense patches of fog one fog are also likely minus one two. that's towns and cities. spots could get to down minus five or minus six. spots could get to down minus five or minus six . so saturday a five or minus six. so saturday a bit of a mixed of fog and frost in the south, slow to clear thick cloud and drizzly rain for a over northern england and north the north coast here maybe a bit dank and drizzly, especially the afternoon. brighter skies, though arriving for scotland and northern ireland. a few showers will continue over the northern hours. temperatures mostly at sixes and sevens, perhaps seven or eight on some western coast, generally a touch lower than . generally a touch lower than. they have been through today on saturday evening. again, most places will be dry. just a little bit of drizzly rain around some of the coasts across wales and a few showers in the far north of scotland. but as i say, most places dry and say, most places just dry and cloudy some is possible,

cloudy again, some is possible, but more cloud , perhaps not but with more cloud, perhaps not quite as cold, certainly in the south as it will be overnight tonight . south as it will be overnight tonight. certainly then generally a great day best chance of any sunny spells across eastern parts of england and wales, maybe northeast scotland. but another band of rain coming in. i could be a little heavier and also turning very windy across scotland dunng very windy across scotland during the course of sunday. very conditions very blustery conditions overnight for south. the overnight for the south. the breeze pick up little bit, breeze will pick up little bit, but dry, cloudy day but generally a dry, cloudy day and looking a little and it is looking a little milder compared to .

saturday welcome back now, the chancellor, jeremy hunt has played down reports that hs2 fall short of reaching central london. the sun newspaper splashed the line would end. old oak common and not be extended

to london. euston as planned. let's be honest, it's already very, very late and staggeringly overbudget. it would just top it all off with david. didn't actually get used to it, but the chancellor has since said the line will go to central london. i think we need to shed a bit more light. what an earth is going on hs2 given that going on with hs2 given that we're paying for it. joining we're all paying for it. joining me now from ironically, me now from euston, ironically, someone's there at least someone's made it there at least is paul is gb news reporter paul hawkins. what's hawkins. great stuff. what's going on right now? lots of building work , frankly, behind building work, frankly, behind me. look the idea is that in ten years time, by 2033, euston will have a brand new station. all this behind me a huge brand new station will rise up. there'll ten new platforms, 17 high speed trains are now whole area will be redeveloped . that's there'll be redeveloped. that's there'll be redeveloped. that's there'll be twice as much capacity for passengers to travel travellers to the station during hours and it'll also free up west coast mainline. at least that's the vision because hs2 will be coming here that was until there was a report in the sun this

morning which said actually because of inflation it's running over budget it might to wait until 2038 they might not happen at all. in fact, the train may terminate at old oak common that hasn't even been built yet. that's now in action five miles to the west of us. and all this would have been for nothing. and that's why people worried. sounded like worried. so it sounded like euston we have problem. but euston we have a problem. but the chancellor earlier said no , the chancellor earlier said no, actually see any conceivable circumstance in that would not end up at euston. and indeed i prioritised hs2 in the autumn statement. we have got a good record in this country of delivering expensive infrastructure so quickly, but i'm incredibly proud that for the first time in this last decade under a conservative, we have shovels in the ground. we building hs2 and we're going to it happen . well, there we go and it happen. well, there we go and we're going to come onto in a little bit anyway just the

overall staggering cost of this sound. overall staggering cost of this sound . people right across the sound. people right across the country paying brunt for this. but but how does it affect the local area, paul? where you are enormously the site is huge. it's acres behind me. a huge if you look at it from above, there's a huge footprint next to euston where they've been digging for ten years. they've still got another ten years to go . it's to affect go. so it's going to affect loads of businesses around . loads of businesses around. there's been problems in parking pollution noise they used to be a huge hotel behind me that was knocked down so businesses have been relocated some people to be fair some people we've spoken to have said hs2 hasn't been too much of a problem, have been compensated for it either financially or in various ways for example, one resident we spoke they spoke to earlier said that they had literally her had a special literally her window is just up here, just backs site. they backs right onto the site. they said they fitted, invented said that they fitted, invented system the window. so system next to the window. so the wouldn't fly through the dust wouldn't fly in through window. so i just too have been making an effort to compensate

the local residents and businesses . nevertheless, businesses. nevertheless, just a stone's metres of high school, drummond street , loads of drummond street, loads of businesses lots energy, businesses there, lots energy, a real focal point for the community, lots of trade and there before hs2 started work and this is the effect the hs2 work has had on these gentlemen these businesses have left a decision needs to be made if it's going to alter common then all this work needs to stop and we can have the freedom of just movement and the businesses can get on. and if it is going sort of happen in sort euston, then that work should be done as quick as business of business hasn't really been affected as much because we have the construction workers coming through. well, yes. so that's okay. through. well, yes. so that's okay . living through. well, yes. so that's okay. living around through. well, yes. so that's okay . living around the area through. well, yes. so that's okay. living around the area is or isn't the only problem i'd say it's like when they do road closures for parking and all that stuff and when they do close the roads, to be honest, then our business does get affected bit . yeah. so the

affected a bit. yeah. so the key. but that from that first gentleman was uncertainty and on that point, labour run council say this these reports represent more uncertainty to a project which has already knocked down 200 homes. they say our residents will fear that after years of disruption, they'll get no benefit at the end of it. but so hopefully they will find those words from jeremy a little bit more reassuring earlier today that euston indeed will be the end destination for hs2 andy. paul, thanks very much for that reporting to us from euston. joining me now is penny gaines of stop hs2. i wonder how she feels about all of this, but penny. yes, i mean, it will probably not come as a massive shock to you as somebody who's all over hs2 to that it is now walking over budget something like 15 billion quite expected to cost taxpayers 60 billion in the round i might not even head to its final destination why should in your view anyway this just be now . well there's many

just be now. well there's many many tens of billions of pounds to be spent on it. so there's a huge cost still to come. it makes a great deal of sense to it as soon as possible to avoid spending all the extra money that's going to be spent . and that's going to be spent. and when you listen to what jeremy hunt, he wasn't the sort of gung let's build straight away. he was very wishy washy about . and was very wishy washy about. and they spent a couple of years debating about whether they're going to keep the route to leeds going to keep the route to leeds going before . they find going before. they find cancelled it it makes a lot of sense to make the big decisions and. cancel the hs2 in its in time. i suspect they've come too far though, penny. i mean a lot of people i know in london at all by the up in manchester at central face compulsory purchase orders their business they've orders on their business they've had their homes repossessed is it essence repossessed as opposed property prices damage massively. the government surely has come too far to back out now, even by the time this rolls

around, which might be 2030, presumably will be driving havoc caused by that anyway . i mean, caused by that anyway. i mean, it's mean really devastating for the people have had their their homes and properties and their businesses devastated hs2 . businesses devastated hs2. unfortunately that's happened and the government should be paying and the government should be paying the compensation that those people are owed to cover that costs it doesn't matter to some extent whether whether hs2 goes ahead or not. those people should be should have the compensation for , the losses compensation for, the losses they've already had. i understand . you know, you just understand. you know, you just forgive me for asking this penny, because i can see on the strap line now into your location, it says bournemouth , location, it says bournemouth, which i'm assuming is correct. obviously we're spending lot of time here talking about it, not getting euston are here based getting to euston are here based at gb news now in london, but there will be a lot of people up north who might be desperate to get hs2 because they could maybe then get a slightly higher paid

job in london . i say it, but job in london. i say it, but still live in a much house somewhere up north. they might be desperate just all of you as a southerner, best place to tell northerners what is good for them? i wouldn't want to tell nonh them? i wouldn't want to tell north northerners what was best for them . but what you see is for them. but what you see is there are a lot of people who want to be able to get round their local area. sure, you could. you could end up earning london wages and living in in places , manchester or whatever . places, manchester or whatever. but then you you have problems . but then you you have problems. the local area, the local people you want to live, work locally will be priced out of their homes which is already happens to london. so the idea that somehow getting a better paid job while living in manchester or whatever , if you had a better or whatever, if you had a better paid job in manchester or or any of those other places that are close to hs2 or , close to the close to hs2 or, close to the future hs2 station is all about levelling up, isn't it? you want

to have the economic activity , to have the economic activity, the area where people want to eat, to live. you don't want to them spend hours travelling to london to have a decent paying job. you want to level up the country and what what see elsewhere in other countries is that the economic benefits are up to the main main centres. well just on that the cost of this if indeed probably when the deficit tops the 60 billion mark and then there'll be another bump, there'll be another bump after that we're in the middle of a cost of living crisis. we seem to have the money for stuff like don't we? we seem to have the money for people. well, who are you? well, i suppose fighting ukraine with fighting a in ukraine with loving pounds over loving billions of pounds over that lot people that famine if a lot people would a lot people would say also a lot of people might say it's fair enough that we're paying out as much money as are paying for people as we are paying for people coming etc. coming across the channel, etc. my here is we have the my point here is we have the money for of this stuff, but money for all of this stuff, but we don't seem to have the to

money have public services that are existence. so are already in existence. so giving pay rise is giving nurses pay rise is something, do you think our priorities wrong it priorities a bit wrong when it comes public spending? comes to public spending? i there's always lots of calls on there's always lots of calls on the purse. i think that there are lots of things you could spend eight is arguing about whether you ought to build more hospitals or letting in refugees or whatever but fact is with hs2 if you cancelled hs2 you would have a big big summer money that you could look you could spend it on building hospitals or schools or , housing, development schools or, housing, development houses, houses is another , but houses, houses is another, but it opens it up. whereas hs2 has got limited benefits to a limited number of people. yeah exactly. look thank you very, very much. obviously a pleasure . penny games that chair of stop hs2 who's just been ranting to hs2 who's just been ranting to hsz that hs2 who's just been ranting to hs2 that we now i'm just wondering how you feel about this actually ladies and gents always like opening it up to

gb news. i'm going to be dipping my toe into the chancellor's, for want of a better phrase, very, very. and asking him whether or not you brexit britain is you still that brexit britain is a good thing. loads of wonderful emails coming in an interaction on social media on gb news as well about whether or not you would vote for brexit again. jeremy his wow jeremy hunt doing his wow sensitivities. he's not, sensitivities. well, he's not, is but to talk is he, but trying to talk britain up as a britain needs you. get yourself back to work if can work for the sake of if you can work for the sake of the he's also saying, you the etc. he's also saying, you know, look, britain is not in decline. it's out. despite sounding very like a chap, sounding very much like a chap, he britain decline. he thinks britain is in decline. i'm also going to be talking about whether or foreign about whether or not foreign students when it students is the answer when it comes plugging our labour comes to plugging our labour shortage. now chancellor shortage. but now the chancellor has economic has dismissed economic gloom coming from the cost of living crisis. that was today. so in his speech at bloomberg's european said brexit european earlier, he said brexit will unlock more money to boost growth in the uk. tony danker ,

growth in the uk. tony danker, danker and hunt, by the way , is danker and hunt, by the way, is an absolute minefield anyway. the direct general of the confederation of british industry says there is much to get behind and chancellor's , as get behind and chancellor's, as the chancellor focuses his aims now on growing the economy. so can britain get out of economic decline ? joining me now is decline? joining me now is director of the margaret thatcher for freedom, the heritage foundation . it's now heritage foundation. it's now gardiner. argues sick and gardiner. nigel argues sick and tired of politics students even when they're talking britain . when they're talking britain. they sound like the talking is down. there's a lot to be proud of, isn't there? many thanks for coming on the show today. of, isn't there? many thanks for coming on the show today . and, coming on the show today. and, you know, without a doubt , i do you know, without a doubt, i do think there is tremendous for. hope britain's in the hope britain's future in the era. and i do believe the brexit has been a great event, i think for the british people and in the long term brexit will i think significant prosperity for great britain. we're far better off, frankly, outside of the european union, which in many respects is a case on the economic . so i do think brexit

economic. so i do think brexit has actually to be a i mean it's such a great opportunity, but really want to drill down on that because it is from where sitting quite hard at the moment to make a coherent for as yet as of right now this minute that the people of britain have seen a massive benefit of brexit. you said that it's been a good event. go on. how well, yeah. so ihave event. go on. how well, yeah. so i have to say that i do believe firmly that britain is a lot better off outside the european union. the idea that if we were still shattered by the eu, we'd be better off. i think it's absolutely false and i do think the uk economy is doing as as germany for example, britain should be doing a lot better. and if the chancellor announced a whole wave of tax cuts , a whole wave of tax cuts, economic freedom, economic liberty, freeing the british economy , i do think the uk would economy, i do think the uk would be doing far, far better and. i think what is it hard in terms of the essence of the problems facing uk today? there's too

much government spending, there's too much heavy taxation, big government is all too real. and so i think if you had thatcherite policies low taxes cuts in government spending also frankly getting rid of all of this zero nonsense and free ing the british economy completely from all the environmental regulations in britain, we'd be doing far, far better. so we didn't hear that kind of message , i think, the chancellor , i think, from the chancellor today, is very today, which is very disappointing without a doubt. if britain britain's not you've tapped into something that which is we did not hear an to this net zero nonsense from jeremy because they're too scared of a 20 year old swedish girl and some other activist which essentially bonkers but where we are so we don't the net zero man just in how much that be holding us back economically we have deliberately i think in a lot of people's minds deliberately not taken all of the possible

benefits open to us as a result of being a strong independent because we didn't want to annoy our european friends and neighbours at the same time as us leading the way on things like ukraine at the same time as us trying to lead the way on a variety of different things. so we just stopped caring about what other people think of us and in our own and just do what's in our own best interests yeah, is best interests. yeah, britain is a nation with an illustrious history over the course of many, many centuries . and there's not many centuries. and there's not long, long ago when britain was the leading power in the world and britain should lead again in terms of economic being a great force on the world stage, it can only do so with real self—confidence and a belief in the free market system, freeing the free market system, freeing the british and also, of course fully implementing all the benefits of brexit, securing britain's borders, ensuring all eu laws are stripped . we're not eu laws are stripped. we're not really seeing this from the british government today. in fact , british government today. in fact, sunak's approach has been

very disappointing on multiple fronts. we need to see a conservative government that actually fully conservative principles , values and beliefs principles, values and beliefs we're not fully seeing that from the sunak government, we saw it saw a lot of that in space station from from hunt in front of the of trust in politics was evidence but it continues isn't it because here have a man who doesn't sound particularly in views yardstick about britain who didn't back brexit trying to lecture people about what a positive thing brexit can be despite . the fact that every despite. the fact that every single term people have not made the most of brexit i want the british public expect to believe a world, jeremy hunt says yeah that's that's a great point after all. jeremy hunt was it was a remainer really and i'm not really sure if his heart is fully in brexit today and i don't think the british public are fully confident in we need to see britain led by people fundamentally believe in brexit and the benefits it can . we also and the benefits it can. we also need to see led by people who

believe in cutting taxes actually and freeing the british people from the burden of heavy taxation . if we want to see taxation. if we want to see economic growth we've got to reduce the size of the state, we've got to cut spending, we have to cut taxes above all, we're not seeing really that message . the british government message. the british government at this time and i do believe the british government should be looking at the tremendous access story of the margaret thatcher era to see how things should be done today, because , look, thank done today, because, look, thank you very much. always a pleasure to. you on the show of to. have you on the show of course, that is now gardiner, who is the director, nearly demoted , that sort of direct to demoted, that sort of direct to the market just for freedom , the the market just for freedom, the heritage foundation as well. great stuff. now thank you very much. right, lesley, we've been getting in touch. gbviews@gbnews.uk, i want dip gbviews@gbnews.uk, i want to dip my into the inbox my toe back into the inbox before. move on to our next before. we move on to our next topic a lot of have been topic and a lot of you have been in about well, initially in touch about well, initially anyway, about the idea that brexit you would still vote for brexit. would you still vote brexit? that's what i was

asking. yes, yes, yes, yes. diane vote brexit again. diane i would vote brexit again. but doesn't believe that but 40. she doesn't believe that our class do our political class wants to do it. that's in warrington. it. that's diane in warrington. that good to. have a northerner on show near my neck of the on the show near my neck of the woods diane sure you woods that diane made sure you keep tuning and keep watching and tuning and emailing would vote emailing in as well i would vote to again, says carol. the to leave again, says carol. the eu still unelected and eu is, still unelected and unaccountable government, eu is, still unelected and unacc

turns up is not a particularly great look is it your emails coming in see the email coming in can see the email address your screen for all address and your screen for all of wonderful radio of our wonderful radio listeners. gb news listeners. gb views at gb news dot uk. but moving on now because ministers drawing up plans to work plans to allow foreign to work longer in order fill longer hours in order to fill labourin longer hours in order to fill labour in the hospitality and retail . now the prime labour in the hospitality and retail. now the prime minister is looking to grow the economy by filling 1.3 million empty posts with students . there's posts with students. there's nearly 700,000 overseas pupils in the uk at the they are limited to working a maximum of 20 hours per week. but increasing or removing this cap entirely could solve the problem they say this could put rishi on a collision course crucially and this is i suppose the duty bear with. he said that sceptical of these plans in fact as , far as these plans in fact as, far as we can tell anyway, she wants pretty much the exact opposite to happen. that's because make visas more attractive and could increase immigration. that's as well as of course . and the other well as of course. and the other side of things are illegal. joining is political joining me now is political

commentator and student reeve abraham and chairman of migration watch, uk . thank you migration watch, uk. thank you very much both you. great to have you both on the show. i will with you. can we not will start with you. can we not any creative than looking any more creative than looking fill any gap in our economy ? the fill any gap in our economy? the one answer, the only solution that possibly all need. that possibly is all we need. more immigration . look, i think more immigration. look, i think that moment we've got that at the moment we've got about 5.4 million people out of work . so clearly there work benefit. so clearly there is issue , british people not is an issue, british people not working and they're sort of retaining on benefits. but i think that there is no incentive to reform the benefit system in for people, those hard, for those people, those hard, hardworking people to hardworking british people to get back into i think, get back into work. i think, look, students enough on look, students have enough on plates. at plates. we're looking at lectures seminars plates. we're looking at lect|whatever seminars plates. we're looking at lect|whatever it seminars plates. we're looking at lect|whatever it is seminars plates. we're looking at lect|whatever it is they�*minars plates. we're looking at lect|whatever it is they have rs plates. we're looking at lect|whatever it is they have to and whatever it is they have to do students. you know, do as students. you know, i think we be more creative and actually get british people working rather than trying to fill it up with foreign students. yeah, exactly. and of they'll supporting their they'll be busy supporting their dependents, we're dependents, as indeed we're constantly lot of constantly told that a lot of these students do. the idea that i be supporting anyone i will be supporting anyone could myself could barely support myself when. university when. i was at university in more one. also often, more ways than one. also often, actually, i'll bring you

actually, i hope i'll bring you back it now. this just to back into it now. this just to be in direct opposition to what the home secretary to do. the home secretary wants to do. i smell blood in, the water. i can smell blood in, the water. one word for it. daft that's what it is . all right. i find it what it is. all right. i find it difficult to understand what's behind it . difficult to understand what's behind it. unless it's the usual nonsense of to grow the economy. well if what we're lacking is foreign students to be working full time rather than part time , which they all are anyway , if , which they all are anyway, if thatis , which they all are anyway, if that is what we are lacking to get the economy up and running again , heaven help us. and let's again, heaven help us. and let's not forget, as. as you mentioned, there are 680,000 students here. now all of whom i daresay are working summer hours , at least, and they're on top that. there are post—grad students who actually bring

their dependents here , work with their dependents here, work with them. i think it's a shame , them. i think it's a shame, nonsense, really and i do hope that the government thinks carefully before allowing students to work full time. are they here to study or are they here to work ? that's my here to work? that's my question. i'll just sit with you before three. back to read out what it actually grow our economy to have more students able to work for longer in the uk . well it may do if. able to work for longer in the uk . well it may do if . you've uk. well it may do if. you've got if you've got 600,000 people working an additional 10 hours a week, it will be a minuscule growth in the economy in. but what it doesn't do is actually grow the cake. it doesn't grow. it grows cake. it doesn't grow the cake so that you and, i and reem get a slightly bigger .

reem get a slightly bigger. that's the problem that we are desperate. and the treasurer desperate. and the treasurer desperate to grow the with immigration. but desperate to grow the with immigration . but in desperate to grow the with immigration. but in fact what they're doing in the long term is adding to what is dragging the economy down and bringing you are a student . we've spoken you are a student. we've spoken a couple of times about your student in this country so far. do you think that your student experience be massively improved by of having several more people , your seminar room looks like the un does that. i've got to say, i go to the other day someone said that already toxic like the un various sort of kids of ambassadors from across the world. universe is pretty world. so my universe is pretty modest. 80% foreign students already. is pretty already. so university is pretty high proportion. what high proportion. i think what we're this of grand we're looking at this of grand scheme with the scheme of things with the economy these economy we do to fill these vacancies somehow . i don't think vacancies somehow. i don't think that the answer going to with that the answer is going to with students benefit using students the benefit of using students the benefit of using students that they usually temporary. to leave temporary. so you have to leave

after two years although after those two years although suella reduce suella braverman wants to reduce it months. yeah it to that six months. yeah well, a good point. i'll well, that's a good point. i'll throw back to you as throw it back to you as it usually temporary because. well it think a back it appears to think it's a back door into britain. well, i'm not sure that it so temporary, sure that it is so temporary, actually. can stay for actually. students can stay for two years after completed their studies . and the last figures studies. and the last figures that i saw in the academic 2018, 19, in fact only % of those their 19, in fact only% of those their studies left that year. 19, in fact only% of those their studies left that year . so when studies left that year. so when we're . talkin g £40 or 40, we're. talking £40 or 40, rather, of people staying on out of six, 700,000, that's a have a hell of a lot of people who would need houses who will need jeepneys who would need schools , all sorts of things. well, exactly. and that's the other is definable cost isn't set, which is the effects that it would have on wider public services. one of the things that i keep heanng one of the things that i keep hearing whenever do go on the hearing whenever i do go on the weekend in britain, go to the weekend in britain, i go to the lake very for lake district very often. for example, people saying, well,

one of the reasons why we can't employ more people, etc, employ more people, towns, etc, is nowhere for is because there's nowhere for them live. so you can it's them to live. so you can it's all well and good having all very well and good having people coming over and wanting to be in lower of the to be in the lower end of the economic but there's economic spectrum. but there's nowhere and you nowhere for them to live and you can't them to begin with. can't hire them to begin with. but we're being a bit but remote. we're being a bit gaslit by our government. on the one we've got rishi sunak's one hand we've got rishi sunak's say. to want lower say. i want to want a lower immigration want to stop immigration and i want to stop the boats. i to get the small boats. i want to get to with the illegal to grips with the illegal immigration and of immigration situation and all of this same be saying this at the same time be saying foreign students why nothing could wrong there. well, i could go wrong there. well, i think to the think they're trying to the vacancy. there's nothing vacancy. i think there's nothing wrong but the issue wrong with that. but the issue is sort of being is that we are sort of being side sidelined here the side sidelined here because the idea that these foreign students have come and it's only for have come over and it's only for those two years, are those two years, these are supposed short term visas. those two years, these are supjideai short term visas. those two years, these are supjidea is short term visas. those two years, these are supjidea is this short term visas. those two years, these are supjidea is this to art term visas. those two years, these are supjidea is this to spacen visas. those two years, these are supjidea is this to space fill sas. the idea is this to space fill in vacancies in the short in these vacancies in the short term. well, then we'll also for the term. i think, you the long term. i think, you know, when it comes to housing, all these issues, it all of these issues, when it comes infrastructure, public comes to infrastructure, public services, in services, nothing is blocking in britain. we need these to britain. we need these people to have place live and have a place for them live and

that a direct issue with. that is a direct issue with. government policy, it smacks of stick doesn't. stick plaster. politics doesn't. sorry but i'll go sorry in your hand. but i'll go on one one quickly. now on one last one quickly. now well, well, very the well, i. well, very quickly. the fact is that, they are already working. what this is about, is big wanting , working. what this is about, is big wanting, cheaper big business wanting, cheaper labour and there's nothing wrong. we're not talking about plugging skills here . they want plugging skills here. they want people to make our coffee to pull our pie out. and generally to work all hours in the service sector . okay. both of you, thank sector. okay. both of you, thank you very much. there's nothing wrong with cheap labour, but if it is driving down wages for everybody anyway, right? yes. oh, okay. okay. i've got to see the approvals round me that look both of you, much. i've both of you, thank much. i've got go. thank you very much. got to go. thank you very much. about evacuation was really. about the evacuation was really. thank you very, very much as well. right. quickly now, ladies want come in final hour. want to come in the final hour. you to be careering you are going to be careering through the like no tomorrow. do you believe britain? do you still believe britain? do you still believe britain? do you we're in decline? i'm you think we're in decline? i'm going be talking about all of the be talking the what is going to be talking about met police is big woke

patrick it is back to you. okay, wonderful people. let's get stuck in this hour. i've got the opposite lot of it for you to kind of fire your friday up with a little bit of a face. i am going to be talking about hs2. yes. all right. bear with me. it gets more interesting than not because he's not going to reach final destination. to reach his final destination. according the guardian according to also the guardian might woke going might be so woke that it's going to cancel itself. they always eat their own. the met police, you that order to his you said that in order to his diversity which hiring people diversity which is hiring people who what was who can't speak english what was going talking about the going to be talking about the incredible in terror incredible rise in the terror threat to the united kingdom. but going start but first, we're going to start with not? with jeremy hunt. why not? because speaking at because has been speaking at bloomberg and the bloomberg european and the chancellor his vision chancellor announced his vision of britain's economy to of growing britain's economy to make somewhat like the make it somewhat like the world's valley, world's next silicon valley, which reliably informed, is which i'm reliably informed, is not what you see harley not what you see on harley street. this comes as hong claims, the cuts the claims, the best cuts at the moment for the british people will drop in inflation, will be a drop in inflation, which is one of the five key pledges. you can definitely just condense into three key pledges that the government outlined over next two years. so as over the next two years. so as the of energy and inflation

the cost of energy and inflation continue fall, could this be continue to fall, could this be the that britain finally the moment that britain finally takes well, i turns a corner takes a. well, i turns a corner when it comes our economic decline. joining me to give the details on the jeremy hunt speech is gb news is political is olivia utley. now jeremy hunt is olivia utley. now jeremy hunt is desperately trying to instil a little bit of confidence . a little bit of confidence. britain, isn't he? yes. so this is the first we've really seen of any kind of economic growth plan from government. rishi sunak's sort of laid out some very bare bones a few months ago of how he intended britain's economy to grow, essentially gave no more details than that. jeremy hunt here has given a few more details . it seems to me more details. it seems to me it's about unlocking britain's genius , he says, essentially genius, he says, essentially solving our productivity problem, which he believes is what's holding us back , the what's holding us back, the details of how we do that. we're looking a bit vague, but one part of the plan was encouraging over back to work over to get back to work starting up regional hubs mini canary wharf to try and help spur on underperforming areas

but areas with high potential . but areas with high potential. of course, there are plenty of conservatives who think well, this is all very well, but they've got who are struggling to through the winter because of a cost of living crisis and what they would like to see is just their taxes cut too much simpler than a kind of big strategy to turn britain into into he etc. so the best kind of tax cut would be to reduce inflation, which is probably going to happen anyway, schedules any anyway and crucially doesn't involve actually involve government actually cutting your taxes. well exactly. all code for . exactly. this is all code for. everything that said in the everything that he said in the speech essentially code speech was essentially code for i'm going cut your taxes i'm not going to cut your taxes . he believes that cutting . yes. he believes that cutting taxes incompatible cutting taxes incompatible with cutting inflation. economists disagree on that . but he he essentially on that. but he he essentially said , yes, we have an ambition , said, yes, we have an ambition, a low tax economy. we know that a low tax economy. we know that a low tax economy. we know that a low tax economy is the right way forward. we're more interested in a low tax economy than labour, but i won't be cutting your taxes any time soon, won't down soon, which won't go down particularly with quite a lot of conservative backbenchers. what

and to and one thing that really got to me, and i'm going to play you a clip of the second ladies and gents, jeremy trying gents, because jeremy was trying to of confidence in to instil a bit of confidence in britain. that order to britain. he that in order to enfice britain. he that in order to entice people were in retirement or who can already sit relatively not working back into he needs to do it out of some deep seated sense of public duty and national duty and national pride. come on you go and put yourself back into the employment you go. start paying your taxes again, get britain moving again. your taxes again, get britain moving again . let's have some moving again. let's have some belief in britain people banging his chest. yes, that's right. come on. bit of positivity is how we delivered that . some of how we delivered that. some of the gloom is on statistics that don't reflect the whole picture . like every g7 country, our growth was slower in the years after the financial crisis than before it. but since ten the uk has grown faster. before it. but since ten the uk has grown faster . france, before it. but since ten the uk has grown faster. france, japan and, italy. i want to ask you to help turn the uk into , the help turn the uk into, the world's next silicon valley . if world's next silicon valley. if anyone is thinking of starting

investing in an innovation or technology centre business, i want them to do it here . sorry want them to do it here. sorry is as he stops got. i mean that doesn't exactly pump the nation up. olivia does know his delivery . he doesn't have any of delivery. he doesn't have any of the sort panache of boris johnson . and that implies do johnson. and that implies do have a bit of a problem with that. they worry as well that it's not just the delivery his sort of gloomy outlook, his pessimistic outlook bleeds into his policy is because although he's talking all rhetoric about about building britain up most what he's doing is just managing britain's technology like an undertaker yes that's a phrase i've heard from employees before and essentially he's going to fund these these growth jobs is through stealth taxes which means freezing the personal allowance at which people pay income tax meaning against a backdrop of high inflation.

you've got thousands more people being pulled into these higher tax brackets and paying more of a portion of their income in tax . to many people, that doesn't like the sort of empowering that he's talking about that no here we have a guy who did it back palpably doesn't brexit i would argue doesn't to believe that much in britain he's also an individual has some very very very concerning views about the role of the government and lack of civil liberties during the coronavirus crisis. i would say jeremy and not just because he's a wealthy individual, all but because of the reasons i've just outlined. he was on the wrong side of history when. it came to brexit. he's on the wrong of history. came to civil history. when it came to civil liberties coronavirus, liberties during coronavirus, in my i think the my view. anyway i think the british public really would look at him now and think, i'm going to believe what he says, perhaps. mean , jeremy hunt, perhaps. i mean, jeremy hunt, does have as as outlined well does have as he as outlined well today he does have the credentials of being a seriously impressive , successful

impressive, successful businessman. and he would argue that he was , by thatcher's that he was, by thatcher's reforms into into starting the very successful business and going on to manage it very successfully and so he actually a sort of classic and is well placed to any sort of big concern massive reforms he was also let's not forget during the leadership election he was actually very pro tax cutting . actually very pro tax cutting. and so perhaps perhaps rhetoric about having an ambition , a about having an ambition, a lower tax economy, perhaps we shouldn't be being quite so cynical about it but there are definitely mps who are sceptical . yes, indeed. olivia, thank you very very much, olivia. olivia gibney is. political reporter to delve into the inbox of hammond again and is an absolute classic this just dropped in from matthew thank you very much matthew thank you very much matthew he says i would the highest mountain swim , the highest mountain swim, the deepest sea walk across the largest desert just to hit jeremy hunt across the face with a wet fish in, the name of

brexit. and i think honestly, i can relate to that. matthew christ, chef gbviews@gbnews.uk solid gold in the inbox people. now part of the chancellor's economic includes nuclear power investment freed up by scrapping eu rules is said to be going building nuclear power stations , starting with sizewell c. joining me now is the former ceo energy uk angela knight . angela, energy uk angela knight. angela, thank you very much. jeremy wants to talk about maximising brexit potential. of course, despite actually believing in brexit himself . we're off to brexit himself. we're off to a flyer there. how britain become a nuclear energy hub and what would it mean ? well, i think would it mean? well, i think that there's three ways that it could do it, and we can do some of this quite quickly the big car stations such as the sizewell, they take a long time build. that doesn't mean we shouldn't build them. and of course, they do cost a lot of money too something like 20 odd billion pounds , ten odd years to billion pounds, ten odd years to build . but we need to do that build. but we need to do that and.so build. but we need to do that and. so the more the government just urges that along takes

investment strategic work, i think it's a good thing. but the second is that we need to licence. the small scale nuclear reactors so that rolls—royce's developed . so get them through developed. so get them through this licencing process which we set up and get it through them quickly . and then the second quickly. and then the second thing that we need to do is use i would suggest that we use things like mechanisms like the british business bank to help get the public to help . the get the public to help. the pension funds and other sort of investment funds to invest in these small scale nuclear reactors because you can build for 1 to 2 billion and build them in one or two years. and that would get us really along the line skills up as a nation in power, nuclear technology now all of that stuff very good . all of that stuff very good. you're a lady who knows . there you're a lady who knows. there is to know clearly about nuclear power, about energy, uk and all of these things and that is

fantastic. but for absolute plebs like me. i'm going to need you to break it down. i won't. you tell me, why should i care about stuff? why should i care about stuff? why should i care about energy? every time about nuclear energy? every time i'm shivering flat at the i'm shivering in my flat at the minute? because i don't want to turn the heating on every time i look the telly, there's greta thunberg telling that she's not going happy until going to be happy until i'm colder. going to do colder. is this going to do anything to reduce my bills why should i care? the reason should i care? well, the reason you is exactly that, is you care is exactly that, is because you be warm. you because you want to be warm. you want to the lights on when want to the lights go on when you switch and thing you switch on. and the thing about nuclear is that it's reliable. it's there. and what's more, it's low carbon. now, you keep showing or what i'm seeing on the screen and presumably everybody else is on the square is these great cooling towers, by the way, that's not smoke thatis by the way, that's not smoke that is steam, because, you know, the creation of electricity causes heat or the heatis electricity causes heat or the heat is part the process. so you would always get some steam. there's nothing wrong with steam what there is about nuclear is reliable baseload low carbon

power and. you need that as well as renewable and you also need something in the middle that actually you can fire up quickly if the wind doesn't blow. so creating a an energy of energy market, energy stations , various market, energy stations, various forms in this country relies on a mixture of investments and a mixture of techniques we should get on with it. a lot of it can be done not by the taxpayer , but be done not by the taxpayer, but it can be done by investors . go it can be done by investors. go to how do the framework lies the technology and get on a little bit of catalyst and pushes ahead. yes exotic could take the burden the taxpayer the taxpayer is being clobbered left, right and wouldn't just look and centre. i wouldn't just look the other thing that really gets me, just off topic. this is me, i'm just off topic. this is the they clearly think the part that they clearly think we're joe we're all idiots, right? joe jeremy i believe jeremy hunt now, i believe i believe in britain. i mean, honestly, that guy, that he could have brought a tear to a only with his lack of passion. it was shocking and then saying, it was shocking and then saying, i believe lower taxes , but

i believe in lower taxes, but trust me when i say the best way to lower your taxes is to reduce inflation, which is going to happen anyway. so he's going to lower our taxes, do you think politicians take us for fools? no, but i think what no, i don't but i think what happens is that promises are made, simply, you know, made, which simply, you know, was things that we like to hear but can't be done. what he did done today, i mean, jeremy hunt is never the most passionate speaker , but he is actually speaker, but he is actually a good and he has taken over managing the finances of the at the time but boy did they need some good management so yes i agree with you that he's not exactly going to rev us up like any anything, but he is going to is doing quite a good job of sorting things out and boring that might be, but it's a good thing to get sorted out. it's thing to get it sorted out. it's a good thing to bring down. i want some tax cuts as well, but i've never wanted have tax cuts and then find that we get back into the same problem as we were at the back end last autumn were tax cuts were promised, couldn't be delivered . what happens is

be delivered. what happens is everything that goes wrong in the capital markets and the consequences were mortgage go up and all that sort of thing everything is connected, boring management actually can give us some very good results . well, some very good results. well, you know what? you are the nastiest tonic, i think to my rather bombastic . thank you rather bombastic. thank you very, very much . thoroughly very, very much. thoroughly enjoyed our chats as i every enjoyed our chats as i do every time we talk and that is ceo, former ceo of energy uk just reacting now before i go to a quick break, i just want to tell you what we've got coming up actually now. okay just to a lot of people don't have any words of people don't have any words of bi gst, but quite a few people do because well, it's another shocking, shocking, shocking wedge low taxpayers cash actually going reach cash is actually going to reach his destination . he's his final destination. he's supposed to come into use and we're that we're hearing mixed reports that he's to he's actually not going to get that. also going be that. i'm also going to be talking you about couple of talking to you about couple of topics find hilarious. topics that i find hilarious. yes. in their ridiculous nature, the is now so the goldie newspaper is now so woke might be the council woke it might be the council itself, supposedly because of

the to the slave the historic links to the slave trade. unbelievable. they trade. that's unbelievable. they always eat their own, don't they? police force and they? and the police force and a desperate a desperate bid desperate bid in a desperate bid to manage to hit its target of . to manage to hit its target of. 40% of new recruits coming from a bame background now a bame background is now actively people who can't speak english, which is just unbelievable , isn't it? ladies unbelievable, isn't it? ladies and gentlemen, why are we pushing for this? is diversity getting in the way of good policing? i'm also going to be talking about some interesting figures dropped, figures which are dropped, which appears to show a remarkable rise in terrorist activity in this country. i'll be picking the bones out that will keep us very very shortly. serious question marks about our national security that gb views at gbnews.uk. get your views coming in. all of that coming up very shortly .

okay. it's hey, just to time,

ladies and gentlemen , gets a lot ladies and gentlemen, gets a lot of you very hot and bothered. i'm not surprised because from where sitting, it just appears to be quite an expensive thing that may not actually reach its destination, which are arguably two massive floors in this project. but jeremy hunt has played down reports that hs2 may fall short of actually reaching the capital. the sun newspaper splashed the line would end at old oak common and not be extended to london euston as planned. however, the chancellor has since said that the line will go to central london . will go to central london. joining me now from euston station is gb news reporter paul hawken . paul, thank you very hawken. paul, thank you very much. some rather shocking confuse , john, as to where this confuse, john, as to where this is going to end. why yeah , is going to end. why yeah, that's the key word, isn't it? confusion uncertainty. because the whole of digging a 60 acre site by blimey demolish in the hotel. it used to be by me demolishing the buildings, bringing in all this noise, this dust, digging up these huge in

the ground, a 60 acre site for a brand new station, the euston was to receive britain's second high speed purpose built rail line hs2 and then reports emerged this morning from the sun the actually because of inflation it's going to go even more overbudget . i mean we're more overbudget. i mean we're already looking at almost 100 billion for this project but because of inflation, they're not going to quite get there in terms of cash terms. so i'll tell you what, forget meat tell you what, forget five meat miles that'll to miles of tunnel that'll to connect where i'm standing connect from where i'm standing to oak common which is to old oak common which is another station being built. that would be the before euston. we'll get the train to we'll just get the train to terminate old common station, which acton in west which is out in acton in west london. the people around london. so the people around here well, hang here were thinking, well, hang on, we've been promised on, what we've been promised that 20 years short term pain that 20 years of short term pain for long term , of having a huge for long term, of having a huge railway station with , europe's railway station with, europe's biggest concourse , 17 high speed biggest concourse, 17 high speed trains are now sitting right on their doorstep. and all the footfall, all the development

that comes with it, footfall, all the development that comes with it , actually, it that comes with it, actually, it might not happen. however hunt stepped in and corrected issue this morning. this is what he had to say. i don't see any conceivable circumstance in which would not end at which that would not end up at euston and indeed prioritised hs2 . the autumn statement we not hs2. the autumn statement we not got a good record in this country delivering complex, expensive infrastructure quickly, but i'm incredibly proud that for the first time in this last decade under a conservative government , we have conservative government, we have shovels in the ground. we are building and we're going to make it happen . yeah. so the key word it happen. yeah. so the key word really is certainty. hopefully that will have given a little bit more clarification, a little more certainty to . labour on more certainty to. labour on camden council who issued a statement this morning saying, look, we need certainty we want to make that all the and to make sure that all the and disruption and income payments and upheaval that people and the upheaval that people have in their lives is going have had in their lives is going to worth it in the end. we've to be worth it in the end. we've been to local

been speaking to local businesses as well, been speaking to local busithey've as well, been speaking to local busithey've been as well, been speaking to local busithey've been tellingis well, been speaking to local busithey've been telling that ll, and they've been telling that clarity they need. and clarity is what they need. and also giving us an idea of the also me giving us an idea of the impact that the nhs to development has had on their lives. to be lives. a decision needs to be made if it's to alter made if it's going to alter common, then all this work needs to we can have the to stop and we can have the freedom of just movement and the businesses get on. and if it is to sort of happen in sort of euston, then that work should be done as quick has to finish up business hasn't really been affected as much because we have the construction workers coming through as a yes that's okay living around the area so hasn't the only problem i'd say is when they do road closures for parking , all that stuff, and parking, all that stuff, and when they do close the roads, be honest, then our business get affected a bit . maybe some of affected a bit. maybe some of you mentioned the taxpayers money. we're at somewhere around 98 billion at the moment. the government and hs2 say, look, okay, even if we go past 100 billion, it's going to be the

investment because it will pay it back in the the question it back in the end. the question is how long it's going to is just how long it's going to by jeremy hunt. so the mission in we're not good when it in we're not very good when it comes to building infrastructure to tend to to budget and on time we tend to overrun. tends to delays overrun. it tends to be delays and it kind of feels like the germans would have been done. there now if this was in there were now if this was in germany, be standing germany, i'd be standing in front station. yeah. front of the station. yeah. already, but in terms of, in terms the train, terms of the speed of the train, it'll about 224 miles an it'll run about 224 miles an houn it'll run about 224 miles an hour, which is up and running so from birmingham, an from here to birmingham, half an hour shorter the journey time, an shorter going to an hour shorter going to manchester moment the manchester at the moment the fastest britain. got the fastest in britain. you got the eurostar of 186 miles an eurostar runs of 186 miles an hour between and the coast. hour between here and the coast. and on on same stretch and then on on that same stretch line, you've also got commuter trains, a run so it trains, a run of 140. so it would a significant upgrade would be a significant upgrade to speed trains were to the speed of the trains were in britain. yeah, would in britain. yeah, it would indeed. think a indeed. i think you make a fantastic point. another fantastic point. yes another situation . we are worse situation here. we are worse than other countries in basic infrastructure projects mean. also country shuts down when also our country shuts down when we have half an inch of snow. for sake. you see for goodness sake. you see norwegian just norwegian schoolchildren just the snow themselves the way

the snow themselves on the way they're time like they're all running on time like said, this was in germany, it said, if this was in germany, it would done by now would probably be done by now or very several parts the very several other parts the world. paul, thank you world. but paul, thank you very, very great report. i'm very much. great report. and i'm hoping that you might be able be relinquishing post and relinquishing your post now and actually somewhere warm actually go in somewhere warm because you've because bless you. you've been out all paul hawkins out there all day. paul hawkins there reports from there on national reports from euston one day i will euston station. one day i will cut paul with an cut to paul keynes with an actual train behind because that particular hs2 particular bits of hs2 will actually have been finished. i don't you feel on this, don't know how you feel on this, ladies gentlemen, 98 billion ladies and gentlemen, 98 billion quids taxpayers money quids worth of taxpayers money for project that might not be for a project that might not be completed 2038. after loads of people have businesses , houses, people have businesses, houses, compulsory purchased countryside with a half train track running all the way through an area is completely in some respects anyway changed forever irreversibly already as a result of hs2 for technology that one would imagine will be significantly out of date by the time it actually gets off the ground, for want a better ground, for want of a better phrase, i find that pretty shocking. a little bit of a waste. taxpayers some waste. taxpayers money, some would your views in gb

would say. get your views in gb views or gb news dot uk, but as you've been getting in touch about some of the other topics that going to with through that i'm going to with through in final hour of show. in the final half hour of show. we've a very tempo half we've got a very high tempo half hour i going to be hour for you. i going to be asking a lot about diversity appears to be getting in the way of good policing. we have got record levels of crime taking place, haven't we? appears that police are slow to respond. we've also had situations now where the charge rate or conviction rate for people, for serious crimes incredibly serious crimes incredibly serious crimes, rape being at the top of that is so, so do people actually have faith in the police force to hit their targets when it comes to that bread and butter, when it comes to actually solving crimes to protecting the british public and serving law and order in and to serving law and order in this country. but alas, it appears police force appears our met police force appears our met police force appears more focussed anyway on, hitting a different kind of target. and that's is the diversity quotas set by cressida dick. remember her tenure was a rip roaring , wasn't it? now, rip roaring, wasn't it? now, cressida dick , former head of

cressida dick, former head of the met, wanted to make sure that 44 0% of new recruits by 2023 were of a bame background . 2023 were of a bame background. so an ethnic minority background, 40. that's astonishing , considering that astonishing, considering that doesn't appear to be particularly of the ethnic minority background of the country. some would say that was already overrepresented. steve, would they ? but in that would they? but in that desperate headlong pursuit of diversity and wokeism when police, of course, are not too busy doing the macarena as an lgbtq+ march , they're too busy lgbtq+ march, they're too busy taking the knee outside downing street or all of this stuff. no policing unconscious bias or mean tweets on the internet. well, actually, what turned out is that they started people who can't speak english. so let's just play that. so it's natural conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, as a of us trying to hit a diversity quota, we are now in a situation where a police officer who to become a police officer who to become a police officer who to become a police officer anyway doesn't speak the language of the people who are desperately trying to get them to solve a crime. the second place someone's just been

ryan. fascinating wants get you go now ladies and gentlemen because that's from the government's prevent scheme have found that there's been a large in the number of young men being over woman hating incel ideology. so we hear a lot about prevent don't we. we hear about the islamist threat, we hear about the far threat, etc. but now incels on the march supposedly concerns about ideology make up. why 1% of all referrals 20 extremism scale with many officials believing that it's dangerous attitude towards women has spread rapidly through the internet . however, through the internet. however, that number is it's not 1. i think that's a typo. joining me now, a social policy analyst, dr. akiba sun. dr. kyiv, thank you very much. what is an incel 7 you very much. what is an incel ? well i think that according to the counter terrorism officials

they're describing enso extreme ism, you could say as an emerging . so essentially these emerging. so essentially these are usually involve young men , are usually involve young men, often with limited economic and social prospects who have been caughtin social prospects who have been caught in women hating ideologies of a decidedly misogynist character. and part of this that i raised a couple of this that i raised a couple of years ago , largely because we of years ago, largely because we do have a surplus of young who do have a surplus of young who do have a surplus of young who do have limited economic and social prospects . and the social prospects. and the reality is a very interesting trend that we're seeing in britain is , that there's a very britain is, that there's a very positive trend when comes to female educational attainment and employment integration . but and employment integration. but we're seeing a growing number of inactive young men who are slipping through the economy's cracks so that naturally provides fertile ground for women hating extremist in the dark web to that . really to be

dark web to that. really to be done about this because you know, this seems to me to be a bit of a i think boys have always been obsessed with sex. and to be honestly the vast majority of teenage boys aren't any. and now they're just getting angry about that, are they ? well, i think that there's they? well, i think that there's something to be said about, they? well, i think that there's something to be said about , the something to be said about, the fact that young men , more times fact that young men, more times than not, are hyper , and that than not, are hyper, and that usually markers, well, traditional of social status that could be based on education that could be based on education that could be based on your occupation, your degree , wealth occupation, your degree, wealth and ultimately level of romance advancement in your life. so i think that if you're the population, figures show that there's more men than women. if they competing in a rather have you say an intense market but they're then there is the possibility that that breeds frustration which in turn can

give rise to certain or rather that it makes them more vulnerable to women hating ideology. patrick no, i am absolutely not in any way trying to diminish the impact or the threat from who decides that because they are not getting any high womanhood in society. see a large and the fact that they might go on to do despicable abhorrent things. i'm not diminishing whatsoever. however am saying that i've double checked this triple check this a senior counterterror officer describes incels as an emerging risk making and it is 1% of all referrals . seven cases in the referrals. seven cases in the year to march 22. we keep heanng year to march 22. we keep hearing this emerging risk. we heanng hearing this emerging risk. we hearing about that and we keep heanng hearing about that and we keep hearing about that and we keep hearing about far right go people be excused for thinking they're just trying to use this to mask what the real risk is, which is still islamist terrorism. well, that's a point that we've made together in numerous that the prevailing terror threat in modern day britain is still presented by

islamist extremism . and i'd also islamist extremism. and i'd also make the point, as it stands , make the point, as it stands, the latest figures show that incel related referrals make 1% of referrals to the anti prevent scheme installing from very low . now i would make the point that in the 12 months leading up to 2000, there was zero referrals when it comes to this strand of extremism, you could say that only last year, the 12 months leading up to march 2021 is three cases. now it's shot up to 77. that could be it could be possibly that there's greater awareness within public institutions following the plymouth shooting which was somewhat incel related . but of somewhat incel related. but of course we have to put everything into perspective and the reality is when it comes to providing terrorist threat is presented by islamist extremism , it's very islamist extremism, it's very important not to exaggerate is ultimately a risk which poses a paltry portion of if i was to prevent it does indeed and look if this is indeed an emerging i would ask the question what is

the deep seated cause behind this ? is it potentially that the this? is it potentially that the world? can can be quite a confusing place for the young straight man teenage boy in this country potentially. i'm just straight because incel does tend to relate to people, i believe, who are inclined towards women really . so the straight really. so the straight heterosexual you have sexual. yeah it's a straight young white man, as it were. why why they feeling particularly lost at the minute do you think they don't feel as if there's particularly speaking for them . i think speaking for them. i think that's a real possibility patrick think there's problematic cultural trends that you hear this concept toxic masculinity . there's growing masculinity. there's growing modern feminist who i don't think are entirely helpful at all, ultimately undermining the importance of men more generally in society . and i think that

in society. and i think that that doesn't help the situation in the slightest . i think that in the slightest. i think that what we have to do , you have to what we have to do, you have to invest in younger and we're also talking about younger men living in communities where there's rates of fatherlessness. and that's something that many politicians very reluctant politicians are very reluctant to about. if coming from to talk about. so if coming from those kind of communities , on those kind of communities, on top they've limited and top of that, they've limited and social prospects that can breed certain levels of which in turn might be exploited by those in the top with. yeah absolutely. and .uk. but i the last time that we talk about there's always pledge to have you on the show thank you very much akiba sumner is a social policy sumner who is a social policy analyst just writing to those figures, you're going the figures, you're going to the incel believe or incel community, believe it or not, now the not, moving on that now the guardian come under guardian has come under criticism own work . he criticism from its own work. he just you hate to see it. don't you, podcast about the you, for a podcast about the history the publication, the history, the publication, the organisation was accused by three people of institutional racism. editorial whiteness and ignorance . it's the trifecta, ignorance. it's the trifecta, isn't it? that's not true. explored its own historic

connections to the slave trade. joining me now is kelvin mackenzie , former editor of the mackenzie, former editor of the sun . kelvin the guardian. he's sun. kelvin the guardian. he's now so woke it might do us all a favour and cancel itself. well must say i enjoy the pain that they will be suffering. i mean, although i must say , having read although i must say, having read some of the statements from the producers who either been kicked off the job or walked off the job, i'm beginning to feel , for job, i'm beginning to feel, for the first time in my life , quite the first time in my life, quite sorry for the management of the guardian. so this all starts off because . a guy founded the because. a guy founded the manchester guardian as it was then. i there actually in, i think in the early 1800s. and he edhed think in the early 1800s. and he edited as well as as well as as well as owning it. and what he did was that he had some he may have had although the early indications you'll be pleased know especially from the

guardian show that he didn't have any links with the slave trade didn't make out of it and wasn't really connected it which is a bit bizarre, really because why on earth, if it didn't have these links to it, why did the guardian look into it and then the issue then came up. there were show the guardian correctly hired three audio producers who black okay. and the reason that that's become an issue is that they get pushed out and led to this attack on the whiteness and the microaggression within the guardian the guardian is wants to finish off this podcast and this therefore into the black audio community in order to hire new producers and it said at that point it said at that point that point it said at that point that they owed that the producers had got pushed , have producers had got pushed, have suddenly come out with these rather serious allegations. i mean , you know, so i'm on i'm on mean, you know, so i'm on i'm on both sides of this argument. i love the pain that the

guardian's going through . and guardian's going through. and they're having to answer these kinds of questions for the first time. yes, there having to answer the questions that they posed when i was i mean, i believe it was the guardian that even came out and said the gardening is the countryside is racist everything is flipping racist everything is flipping racist days, isn't it? well, no, it turns out the might have some of its own problems and maybe when these questions are to itself, might how itself, they might realise how ridiculous is. or perhaps it ridiculous it is. or perhaps it . i'm having another one of the issues that the guardian very issues that the guardian is very to. i'm having microgram to. maybe i'm having a microgram session. you probably session. i think you probably are the won't be the first time will it. so as far as the guardian concerned, actually strange leigh even if it was found out to be that the owner turned out be racist, what would happenif turned out be racist, what would happen if that were the daily mail or some other paper was , mail or some other paper was, you know, especially at the shop or something like they'd insist that it was shot down. they it should be closed and then there would be a boycott either by the advertising , which would advertising, which would definitely boycott the sun or

the daily mail if that were found out from the guardian's case. mirek carelessly, it would turn out , oh, no, we mustn't do turn out, oh, no, we mustn't do that. we've got to keep these left turds in jail . strong left turds in jail. strong stuff. calvin and i imagine the guardian will refuse access. we are going to ask them. some would say calvin. and of course, a lot of people would say, actually, the guardian does an incredibly important of incredibly important job of holding account and holding people to account and indeed investigating racism, etc, it finds it. and etc, wherever it finds it. and maybe they're doing the right thing investigating thing now, investigating themselves, , as it were themselves, raising, as it were . but what happens if they don't like the result? i suppose. and the result is that this guy, john edward taylor, as racist as . you like a shocking example. would they then go and get that paper and chuck it in the as they would be in favour of that statue in bristol . or would they statue in bristol. or would they say, look that was then this is now . history say, look that was then this is now. history is a strange is a strange beast. and i'm afraid we're going to be publishing

maybe this is how we can all finally weave for it because if the guardian can draw a line in the guardian can draw a line in the sun and go, right, look, we actually currently no links to this individual, if indeed abhorrent . so whatever and we abhorrent. so whatever and we can all move on, then she might pave the way for results of a little bit common sense in little bit of common sense in the kelvin thank you very the world. kelvin thank you very much. kevin mckenzie, former editor of sun, responding to editor of the sun, responding to these guardian these claims, a guardian spokesperson said, we are concerned colleagues concerned that some colleagues and not had a good and contributors not had a good experience working with us, but we are disappointed that they have chosen to say partial reflection of time at the reflection of that time at the guardian we always take any guardian. we always take any concerns raised that seriously and acted immediately to and we acted immediately to respond the individuals respond to the individuals including offering a media including by offering a media process which took place with the media chosen by the individuals themselves. the project is complete and will not pull punches in terms of transparency . it will be transparency. it will be published in the next few months. and we then look forward to it with readers and. colleagues okay. moving on. i

hate inspectors is one that many met police applicants are functionally illiterate. yeah. hey, jim. i'm matt pass warns that recruitment practises have been beginning to impact standards in the force as it rushes to fill diversity quotas. joining me now, chris hobbs, a former police officer. chris, in a nutshell cressida dick wanted to have 40% of new recruits in the met to be from bame backgrounds. they've apparently only 17, which is some would argue, more representative of one society. but what leaves us at the door for the moment is , at the door for the moment is, diversity getting in the way of good policing . apparently some good policing. apparently some of can't speak . of these people can't speak. engush of these people can't speak. english yeah, i think it's important to realise they still a very small minority of these ethnic minority officers that there's an issue with . the there's an issue with. the majority are doing a great job and there's a lot i see a lot crude on response cars around where i live in west london. so i don't one is all minority , i don't one is all minority, especially the new ones. perhaps

we this same stigma. but male officers have got in the have being racist misogynistic homophobic corrupt . being racist misogynistic homophobic corrupt. i being racist misogynistic homophobic corrupt . i wouldn't homophobic corrupt. i wouldn't want that but clearly is an issue with the minority and it's not just with ethnic recruits as well. i think they found one in ten active locations really hadnt ten active locations really hadn't scrutinised or vetting . hadn't scrutinised or vetting. so it's a problem i think that's across the board in the stampede to get to this magical figure. and also well to try and attract more ethnic officers into the met which we all want. i think we all want this and i have to say of course given the negative pubuchy say of course given the negative publicity the mayor has had a challenge to recruit those officers . but we have to be officers. but we have to be careful with how vetting and recruitment, training issue is a one not just for the mayor but for all forces. and we in the light of recent events, we really have got to attract people . you have got to attract people. you have got to attract the right people. i think as

well, the vast of the british pubuc well, the vast of the british public would just like the police to focussed mainly on enforcing law and order and potentially just swerve anything do with diversity . do you think do with diversity. do you think that the met should focus more on just enforcing the law ? i on just enforcing the law? i think the officers would really like to do that, but we've discussed before with your good self that university the law of the time doing other things mental health for example huge swathes of police time are devoted dealing with mental health. the sheer bureaucracy of the police , you know, if you the police, you know, if you arrest someone , the hours it can arrest someone, the hours it can take to process someone. and then the crown prosecution service drops charges . the service drops charges. the majority of my officers would like to be out there arresting bad guys , goes putting them bad guys, goes putting them before the court and saying convictions . but at the moment, convictions. but at the moment, i think they feel everything is weighted against them and much of their time is devoted to

incidents, to own relating to the police in terms of mental health. they're getting out there and they're saving , which there and they're saving, which no one seems terribly interested , don't have to say for much of the media. yeah, absolutely look, i think another thing that people will be concerned about is that when you get a raft of applications in the mat now that instead of just looking at whoever's got the best one, they might start to the tick boxes. they might start to go, well, hang on a minute. the first thing i'm looking at here is what racist person is or what gender they are or what sexual orientation they are , as opposed orientation they are, as opposed to actually reading on to actually reading what's on the in front of the piece of paper in front of them is that's a concern . i them is that's a concern. i think main concerned to quite honest is that the whole recruitment vetting system in the asian that's partly been brought about by cuts is partly the pandemic has had a big impact because there's so much stuff online. but i think the commissioner is determined really to sort this out and he

so the other day, i think in front of the london assembly police and crime committee, he knows he said himself the vetting need work . they are not vetting need work. they are not good enough at the moment and he is looking to improve . so is looking to improve. so hopefully we will see an in the next few months. there has to be an improvement to be quite honest . look, thank you very, honest. look, thank you very, very much chris. chris hobbs, a former met officer, giving his hot take. the fact that apparently now anyway some of the best new recruits in this big diversity push can't even speak english. but i mean, it's just par for the course at this stage, isn't it, ladies and you have been watching and to me, patrick christys, thank patrick christys, and i thank you a roaring. wait, you for a rip roaring. wait, i have michelle dewberry have got michelle dewberry coming believe, can go coming up. i believe, i can go to now and ask what's coming to our now and ask what's coming up the show. michelle, what's on your show? hello patrick was your show? hello patrick i was just listening to that last just listening in to that last conversation were having. conversation you were having. i completely whole completely agree. this whole diversity does seem diversity tick box, it does seem to jeopardising standards to be jeopardising standards not just argue. just in the place, would argue. coming up on my programme tonight, i've got my friday
