relates to things that happened. well was prime well before i was prime minister. unfortunate. minister. it's unfortunate. i can't in can't change what happened in the lancashire police the past. in lancashire police are appealing for witnesses . are appealing for witnesses. they continue their search for a woman who went missing while she was walking her dog. 45 year was out walking her dog. 45 year old nicola burley was seen on friday on a footpath path in st michaels on wyre . she was michaels on wyre. she was walking with her spanish before she went missing, although her dog has since been found . police dog has since been found. police say they're keeping an open mind about what happened, but they don't believe ms. bullock was attacked . and lastly, attacked. and lastly, international news . us secretary international news. us secretary of state has been calling for the easing of tensions in middle east while she's been on a visit to jerusalem. there's been a spike of violence in the region over recent weeks. on israeli forces killed ten palestinians. most of whom they say were gunmen . and that's after gunmen. and that's after a palestinian man carried out a gun attack in east jerusalem, killing seven people. anthony blinken said it's everyone's responsibility to calm tensions

rather than to inflame them . rather than to inflame them. america's commitment has never wavered. it will. and today, the prime minister and i discussed ways that we can continue to strengthen our partnership and our shared security interests . our shared security interests. we agree that iran must never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon . and we discussed weapon. and we discussed deepening cooperation to confront and counter iran's destabilising activities in the region and beyond . us secretary region and beyond. us secretary of state antony blinken. you're up to date tv, online and dab radio. this is gb news. now over to mark dolan tonight. a busy show to come. let's start with this lounge room . loud with this lounge room. loud mouth, motorhead, jeremy is absolutely right in his recent

column in the sunday times. he wrote that the woke left are trying to destroy the very fabnc trying to destroy the very fabric of this country. it trying to destroy the very fabric of this country . it goes fabric of this country. it goes beyond that. it's a global movement. i could barely my eyes this morning just one cup of coffee into my day when the telegraph reported the following theatre shows for black people only. you heard me . two major only. you heard me. two major canadian theatres have announced exclusive performances for all black, identifying audience. a similar event is planned by the theatre pass in murray in toronto to them. the event is there to facilitate a safe environment for a personal and intimate discussion on the work made and performed by black artists . whilst white attendees artists. whilst white attendees not be banned from going to the show, the telegraph reports the theatre made it clear they would not be welcome. that's right. white would not be welcome . you white would not be welcome. you couldn't make it up. the cure for racism , apparently, is for racism, apparently, is segregation and dividing people into groups based upon skin

colour . now, into groups based upon skin colour. now, i'm no professor of history , but isn't that what history, but isn't that what happened during apartheid in south africa.7 and in the 1950s in america? how south africa? and in the 1950s in america? how did we agree that was a bad thing? with this bonkers story , which will shock bonkers story, which will shock and upset the vast majority of right thinking people , we have right thinking people, we have clear and reassuring that wokeism contain within it the seeds , its own destruction . it seeds, its own destruction. it has that in common with any criminal enterprise guys like burglars who secretly want to get caught . we've seen the first get caught. we've seen the first minister of scotland, nicholas sturgeon, self—destruct over the issue of trans rights. common eating and a double rapist being accommodated in a women's. eating and a double rapist being accommodated in a women's . by accommodated in a women's. by cancelling women. nicholas sturgeon to have cancelled herself woke used to be a niche word, an obsession of the chattering and the media elites . not so much anymore . as your . not so much anymore. as your sister or your or your female

best friend risks coming out of a branch , primark in tears a branch, primark in tears because they've been in a changing previously female , now changing previously female, now populated men . and the populated men. and the vulnerability that they feel is dismissed as bigotry rather than the truth , which is that they the truth, which is that they feel afraid . whether you like it feel afraid. whether you like it or not, men have always been an existential tool and safety threat to women . it's the story threat to women. it's the story of history, i'm afraid now to suggest trans are somehow sexual predators is deeply wrong . it's predators is deeply wrong. it's an issue for anyone with a male biology , which is why i think biology, which is why i think it's rights that neither an appalling sex attacker with a history of violence against women or indeed me or the archbishop of canterbury or rod stewart or mickey mouse or anyone else that's a biological male should be prohibited from entering female. only spaces. now, i believe that silly little

might just be the straw that break the camel's back . not the break the camel's back. not the big ones like this one from the london school of economics . you london school of economics. you haven't got anything better to do than remove the words lent and easter from their calendar because they're not inclusive of this kind of shallow virtue signalling crap will eventually irritate the wider population into rejecting this nonsense . into rejecting this nonsense. there's an old proverb wait long enough and the bodies of your enemies will pass you by in the river. it's my view the all we've got to do is wait for this woke madness to work through the system and to get so extreme and so bonkers that even the least politically active members of the population will say enough is enough. i could, of course, be wrong. i mean, both canadian theatre groups have argued they want to create a safe space for people of colour to on the evil of racism and how it has

affected their lives and the of previous generations . scotland's previous generations. scotland's self i.d. bill is designed to protect a deeply vulnerable group in our who are among the most prejudged and abused trans people. the snp wants to make them feel safe and acknowledged and the lsc, the london school of economics , are based in of economics, are based in a very multicolour virtual city of london and want all of their students teaching staff to feel part of the community and included . so of course there are included. so of course there are arguments on both sides, but i believe that the wacky woke left a losing those arguments as their policies create a grim and joyless dystopia in reality and an unhappier angrier and divided society . many say is just society. many say is just a politically motivated culture war. and they say wokeism doesn't matter as doesn't affect them. well, neither does a hurricane until it reaches your

house. and the insidious mission of wokeism is really starting to affect people's lives. it's even affecting the arts and culture . affecting the arts and culture. tv dramas with finger wagging progressive storylines . boring progressive storylines. boring people to tears . and what about people to tears. and what about politically correct comedy ? politically correct comedy? surely a contradiction in. the highly talented doctor who writer russell t davies who himself has a flawless progressive and politically correct cv , has this week railed correct cv, has this week railed against the obsession with diversity telegraph report that he's criticised new wave of tv's who are more interested in diversity than television. many script writers , he says, are in script writers, he says, are in television in the industry to increase representation. and he says their work is rubbish . so says their work is rubbish. so is right. there are at work to make people hate this country hate it's and hate its history but they won't win because as

with the example of a double rapist in a female prison, ideological purity will ultimately cement the downfall of this sinister movement. the singular idea underpinning genden singular idea underpinning gender, ideology example that men are and the women are has collapsed under the weight of its own lack of logic. and for that we must thank nicholas sturgeon there is a woke war on the west , but it's unravelling the west, but it's unravelling fast. let the west, but it's unravelling fast . let me fast. let me your thoughts. market gbnews.uk for reaction to this. let us speak to the political commentator ollie london, who has been on a trans journey himself, having been born male, then transitioning to become a korean woman. and he's now back to being a british man. ollie welcome to gb news. great to see. you're a lot's changed since last time . definitely. since last time. definitely. look, looking very, very

look, you're looking very, very smart wanted smart and dapper. you've wanted to a few well the bless to thank a few well the bless you for that look lots to talk about relation to but about in relation to this but do you think wokeism within it you think that wokeism within it the of its own destruction . the of its own destruction. absolutely i think we as we have seen with wokeism, it is very harmful to society when they're constantly something more and more extreme . it is causing more extreme. it is causing people to rail against the wokeism and fight back. so when we see examples like sam smith's new music video, which for me personally is very vulgar , a lot personally is very vulgar, a lot of sexual references. there it's just going too far. of sexual references. there it's just going too far . when we see just going too far. when we see things like that, it only to kind of cause division as we've seen in this. like you're saying, this fear too, that it's now banning white people attending a show that does just creates hate. it just creates division . so we need to stop division. so we need to stop with this wokeism. we need to fight back against it. and we just to bring common just need to bring common sense back into the world. yes, i mean, is stopping of a certain skin colour attending event, not racism itself . it's absolutely racism itself. it's absolutely racist. and as we saw last week in the us with the tragic

killing by the cops of this innocent man that was killed just for a traffic stop, you know, we saw that and the officers that killed him happened be black. but there's a lot of media in america blaming white people , white supremacy white people, white supremacy for this attack . and that's for this attack. and that's simply not the case. this was a of officers that were very bad and very evil what they did. but we can't use that as. an example of racism or, you know , try to of racism or, you know, try to criticise liberal media in criticise the liberal media in america were almost disappointed that it wasn't white cops involved because it didn't allow them do to do you know the them to do to do you know the usual narrative that america is riven with racism . clearly there riven with racism. clearly there is but does seem to is racism, but it does seem to be an agenda in some political. yeah, . every time yeah, absolutely. every time there seems to be a mass shooting which is very tragic . shooting which is very tragic. america, we saw the colorado shooting last year immediately the mainstream decided to blame a right wing extremist. but it actually out the killer was actually out the killer was actually non—binary and they were a member of the lgbt

community. so you know, having that kind of rhetoric and jumping to conclusions is harmful . the media have harmful. the media have a responsibility to bring together and this division and and to stop this division and try to get to the root cause of these issues and, you know, make society not to society better. not going to blame different people and cause division, mentioned in the division, as i mentioned in the monologue, a counter monologue, there is a counter argument doing in argument. what they're doing in canada trying to foster canada is trying to foster a secure, safe for people of colour to appreciate the story of racism . the lc want to be the of racism. the lc want to be the lc want to be inclusive by getting of the words lent and easter . and of course the scots easter. and of course the scots the snp nicholas sturgeon she wants trans people to feel accepted and safe in scotland . accepted and safe in scotland. although it would appear that her policy is unravelling. absolutely i mean it's very important to recognise the rights of trans people and they are a vulnerable group in society. so we do need to love support them. but the issue of what's on in scotland is what's going on in scotland is it's putting at it's putting putting women at risk as we last week with this male rapist who transitioned after a crimes. he after committing a crimes. he was in an all prison for three

weeks. and guess what? he didn't even have a gender recognition certificate , which is what certificate, which is what scotland is pushing . know you scotland is pushing. know you can legally change your gender he simply identifies as woman put on a wig and you know the prison along with prison service went along with it him prison it and put him the prison imagine putting a rapist, imagine that putting a rapist, a criminal in a prison with women and only going commit and he's only going to commit the crime again and that's putting the rights of a rapist above women. above the rights of women. it's outrageous. a fudge outrageous. so there's a fudge now sturgeon's. said, now from sturgeon's. she said, now from sturgeon's. she said, no has a history of no one that has a history of violence women violence towards women should be in even if they in a women's jail, even if they are trans woman. don't think are a trans woman. i don't think anyone that's a should be anyone that's a male should be in a female prison. if i go and do shoplifting at my local ryman, which of course never would, even though their pens are very tempting. but if i was shoplift and i got arrested and got imprisoned , i've got no got imprisoned, i've got no right to be in a female prison. and hopefully no threat and i posed hopefully no threat to women, but i don't think anyone with male biology anyone with a male biology should a female prison. should be in a female prison. absolutely. fair absolutely. it's just not fair to at risk. and, you to put women at risk. and, you know, was example all know, this was one example all but has more but scotland actually has more male prisoners in women's

prisons than the uk entirely. so there is a risk and there was another case. a man who became trans, he was a murderer, became trans, he was a murderer, became trans, and identifies as a baby and prison guards actually providing him with nappies and dummies. mean, that's just dummies. i mean, that'sjust wokeism to the extreme. and this is murderer, and is a murderer, you know, and they're above they're putting his rights above women . absolute shocker. quick women. absolute shocker. a quick word the host of on word on madeley, the host of on itv . trouble this morning for itv. trouble this morning for misgendering sam smith. sir sam smith as what you call it, non—binary and therefore we refer to sam smith as they then . do you think that it wrong of him to call sam smith. he and he have apologised. you know it's a really kind of silly thing because he's can be so confusing for most and if you don't get the right pronoun suddenly outrage. i mean come on, date them is a plural, you know , them is a plural, you know, meant to be more than one person. so it's very confusing for most people. so, richard, you know, was using common sense

sam man i think he sam smith is a man i think he likes to the and likes to use the fluidity and outrage for views and for attention and but you attention and stuff. but you know, i defend richard madeley, you know, wanted you know, he you know, he wanted you know, he a is a man he a man, sam smith is a man he didn't misgender on didn't want misgender him on purpose . but how can you help purpose. but how can you help out say, sam smith is a out if you say, sam smith is a man? is that not offensive to sam who is non—binary and doesn't consider themselves to be a man? i mean, it's the facts, you know, it's biology sam smith was born a man. he might identify in a different way , but, you know, he's still way, but, you know, he's still a man at the end of the day, not being offensive in any way. i respect sam smith for identifying i'm identifying his own way, but i'm just speaking about facts. would you you that the you would you say that the solution with the pronouns is that it's either he, him or she her? is that so? let's say someone's called bob and they want be sandra. then want to be sandra. then it becomes and she , becomes he him, and then she, huh? yeah. you think that is huh? yeah. do you think that is a step i think so, yes. a step too far? i think so, yes. i mean, support being i mean, i support people being trans. people trans. you know, some people generally are born in the generally feel are born in the wrong completely support generally feel are born in the wroryou completely support generally feel are born in the wroryou know, :ompletely support generally feel are born in the wroryou know, i mpletely support generally feel are born in the wroryou know, i wouldely support generally feel are born in the wroryou know, i wouldely su to>rt and you know, i would refer to them but i think the

them as ashley. but i think the very is kind of silly very thing is just kind of silly and think the non—binary kind and i think the non—binary kind of wokeness it's a of symbolises wokeness it's a little bit of a too far and little bit of a step too far and it's people away from it's pushing people away from the community, saying the the lgbt community, saying the lgbt extreme lgbt community is more extreme based people sam smith. based on people like sam smith. so i think it's harmful in the long does this woke long run. when does this woke stuff end? can you give me a date? i can't give you an exact date. but we need to keep date. 27. but we need to keep fighting against wokeism. fighting against the wokeism. hopefully will hopefully we can. we will face itself like sort of in itself out. like it's sort of in the i think. so the eighties. i think. so i mean, like with scotland, people are of a male rapist are absolutely of a male rapist in women's prison is wokeism in the women's prison is wokeism that's too far and people that's gone too far and people fighting the majority of fighting back. the majority of people are against wokeism. i think going to see end people are against wokeism. i thiworkers going to see end people are against wokeism. i thiworkers ism ng to see end people are against wokeism. i thiworkers ism soon. see end people are against wokeism. i thiworkers ism soon. hopefully d of workers ism soon. hopefully this on this year. i'll call you on that. thanks to all the london for coming into the studio coming up is donald on an coming up is donald trump on an unstoppable to unstoppable march back to the white lawyer joins us white house his lawyerjoins us live from the united states. is the british military military in terminal as is the view of an american general and is a labour government now inevitable? if so, what does mean for so, what does that mean for britain? we'll asking top britain? we'll be asking top historian dr. david starkey. but

next what do you think of 20 mile an hour traffic? are britain's speed limits now too low ? we hear from both sides. low? we hear from both sides. it's going to be a ding dong. i'll see you in a sec.

a big reaction to my big opinion monologue. this mark who says what happen if a married couple, a black person and their white spouse wanted to go to this canadian theatre, but only one of them would be welcome ? that's of them would be welcome? that's certainly good point . and certainly a good point. and deborah says, mark, i that the woke brigade is about splitting up whole of the country fighting black and white, straight and trans, because the country is split and then it allows government to go down the road of the w e f. i'll get some more of the w e f. i'll get some more

of your email shortly. market gbnews.uk . the tv presenter, gbnews.uk. the tv presenter, james may star of top gear and the grand tour, has said lower speed limits make perfect in cities, arguing 20 mile an hour zones are and i quote plenty fast enough. so should the uk look roll out a blanket 20 mile an hour policy in all urban streets across the country or are britain's speed limits now too slow ? let's debate this with too slow? let's debate this with the journalist and presenter, mike porky parry , a spokesman mike porky parry, a spokesman from just stop oil. alex de koning first of all, mike parry, do you think that twenty's plenty as they say say ? no, i plenty as they say say? no, i think it's mad. i do quite a lot work in the building you're sitting in the. mark okay, so time i was working with simon home, it would be on the breakfast show normally speaking. yeah, i'd want to get there at 5 am. so my call used to come a 4:15 because i live in

stock broke about sorry. all of a sudden the comes at quarter to four and i'm thinking i know what's happened . what's happened what's happened. what's happened is they introduced the 20 mile an hour zone. once you got into greater london now i can appreciate that speed limits have to reflect safety in urban areas . but at have to reflect safety in urban areas. but at 4:30 in the morning, there is literally nobody on pavements . there is nobody on pavements. there is hardly anybody on the road. and yet my driver frustrate it as he was had to drive it miles an hour for the last four and half miles of our journey. now, not only that ridiculous because was empty roads in front of us. no pedestrians , but also the man's pedestrians, but also the man's . business has now tumbled because he only gets paid by the job he doesn't get paid by the time that he spends in the car.

he gets paid by the number of people he picks up and takes around london. it's an absolute , totally ludicrous invention . , totally ludicrous invention. and i don't mind looking after urban safe but please tell me have passed for am in the morning why are you driving at 20 miles an hour and you road ? i 20 miles an hour and you road? i know why it is it's because you can find people going faster than 20 miles an hour on a friend of mine at about 5 am. in the morning in london was coming down lower thames street on the banks of the river thames and he got done twice in two days for doing 20 more miles an hour and 22 miles in a och it's a rough it's a money raising . a rough it's a money raising. alex de kooning , this 20 mile an alex de kooning, this 20 mile an hour zone is the nanny state in of drive and a war on motorists and as as mike parry says simply and as as mike parry says simply a money exercise . hi thanks for

a money exercise. hi thanks for having me on the show my name name's alex. i'm a 24 year old climate science and in urban areas, we don't need cars . let's areas, we don't need cars. let's be honest, we can have some sort of public transport. why wouldn't we want cheaper public transport for people who need cars? that's a whole story, don't get me wrong. but for germany, they subsidise public for three months and in doing they saved enough carbon to drive between glasgow and london 22 and a half million times. sadly, we're in a climate emergency and we need to be treating as such. why shouldn't we be having more buses and more trams and more trains and maybe cheaper rent and cost of living, crisis? what if we choose drive? what if people feel safer in a car? what if they've got kids that they need to take to school ? what if they are tradesperson that's got equipment and tools well for specific scenarios it's different . let's be honest. if different. let's be honest. if you need a car then that's a

whole other story. but a lot of people in cities don't need a car. you can walk most places you can take the bus, the train can be honest. what if it's raining? what if there's a train strike? what if this mug is on every street, which these days there are no . we're talking there are no. we're talking about london, right ? make paris. about london, right? make paris. london. there's plenty metros in london. there's plenty metros in london which they do underground . and believe it or not, so a lot of people back in 20 and 30 years ago felt , the same thing years ago felt, the same thing about the tobacco industry . about the tobacco industry. right. and they fall . people right. and they fall. people need to smoke less the entire way, even though it's killing people. that's just the way it is . well, no, we've got our own is. well, no, we've got our own people can still smoke if they want to. but as far common, why don't we have that with cars? why don't we say no, we need no oil as the point is demanding, we get something that comes first, then homes cheaper. well, okay , mike perry, i you're

okay, mike perry, i you're trying to save the world and. i respect you for having an interest in our environment and interest in our environment and in the way the world works. but quite frankly you are very misguided . when i'm driving misguided. when i'm driving a car 430 in the morning and i'm not driving it to drive, it has got me back going at 20 miles an hour and you've got the facts at your fingertips. hour and you've got the facts at your fingertips . sends out more your fingertips. sends out more pollution into the atmosphere , pollution into the atmosphere, doing 20 miles an hour than the car would do at 30 or 40 miles an hour, because when an engine croaks and it literally 20 miles an hour, it is throwing out more pollution when want to try and you know try and restrain motor cars , buses, anything like that. cars, buses, anything like that. i narrowing the roads all doing is putting up pollution and the 20 mile an hour imposition on motorists is actually is not. yeah let's if you don't saying

just war on anybody who's worked hard enough to be able to afford a decent car . my hard enough to be able to afford a decent car. my car's a three and a half litre mercedes it's got the best and finest in the world. it does not pollute the atmosphere . it is not designed atmosphere. it is not designed to drive a 20 miles an hour. it's just you against me because you haven't a car and i have alex. de koning. final thoughts on this of my viewers need cars to get around and others simply enjoy driving car. they pay their taxes. they a lot of road tax as well and they consider it the human rights to purchase a car and actually use it and to drive it at a sensible speed. what would you say to them ? what would you say to them? first of all, who is against uber transport? we're in a very cost of living crisis. and secondly , sadly, we're in a secondly, sadly, we're in a climate crisis too. unfortunately, you're both out of touch. last year it was 14 degrees in the summer , 1700

degrees in the summer, 1700 people died. circumstances that apples cooked on the trees, birds fell of the sky. it was also something the weather was good at. it's going to get worse every single year. we need to address it properly . we need address it properly. we need i am in london driving . a car. am in london driving. a car. okay, well, look i tell you what it's all about opinions, mike. we'll send you a new but just to calm you down a little bit. my thanks to both of my contributors to that debate from just stop oil alex de koning thank you alex for your time. and one person who worried about the climate journalist and journalist and of course a radio legend before nine is the british military in terminal decline and is a labour government now inevitable? will raise both of those topics with top historian dr. david starkey wood. the labour government. the good news you will be asking the big man, but it would be the political comeback of the century going to stop the left wing radical racists and who are

trying to indoctrinate our youth and we're going to get their marxist hands off our children we're going to save the dignity of women and we're going to save sports itself . yes, he's back, sports itself. yes, he's back, folks, is donald trump on an unstoppable march ? back to the unstoppable march? back to the white house live from the united . his lawyer is next.

things. have seen that lesson things. we have seen that lesson under joe things. we have seen that lesson underjoe biden and under some of the more recent and i think more than anything, he wants to see a prosperous united states is when the united states prospers, so does the rest of the world. you're speaking the world. now, you're speaking to us live from florida ron desantis, the governor of florida won fans within the republican movement for his pro—freedom approach to the pandemic, his rejection of lockdowns and mask vaccine mandates wouldn't be a better opfion mandates wouldn't be a better option for 2024, given how divisive your boss, donald trump, is , not a chance. first trump, is, not a chance. first of all, ron desantis only became popular because of donald trump . donald trump endorsed somebody wouldn't have won his race otherwise. he also became popular by emulating donald trump. he's basically been copying his policies and that to be clear, i'm a florida resident and i voted for ron desantis. i think he's a great governor if there an election tomorrow, there were an election tomorrow, i'd again i'd vote for him again for governor. he's not donald governor. but he's not donald trump. but cannot accomplish trump. but he cannot accomplish

the trump has the things donald trump has accomplished. some accomplished. and i think some of the divisiveness or a polarised surrounding donald trump really is created don't think it's real. it comes a lot from the media that want to make it look like. he's polarising or divisive when in fact he is not. and i want to get to the santa. yeah, i'm not prepared for this national stage . i want to get to national stage. i want to get to your book in just moment, if i can, kristina. but who do you think donald trump will face in 2024 if he wins the nomination? and what is the outcome , do you and what is the outcome, do you think ? i'm not sure that that's think? i'm not sure that that's a question that, you know, we're all kind of looking to see what the democrat are going to do, because joe biden has been saying he wants to run again and, you know, he's got his own scandal of. the documents is that democrats move to try to get joe biden of race. it's get joe biden out of race. it's unclear this point. i don't unclear at this point. i don't think it will be joe biden. but as of right now, he's still saying that he's going to run. we'll but i don't think it

we'll see. but i don't think it will be joe biden . and what will be joe biden. and what moved you to write this ? because moved you to write this? because it's the book that all of america talking about at the america is talking about at the moment, that election in 2020. right. so i was an investigative reporter at the time. and was doing hundreds and hundreds of interviews around many of the contested states. and i just wanted to see, you know, what was happening and what was happening on the politics side of the election . i do have a lot of the election. i do have a lot of the election. i do have a lot of data in that people wanted to know, you know, how many dead voters and all of that. but really, the book is about the politics about really politics and about really republicans and how republicans blocked the investigation into the 2020 election. that was quite shocking for me. the way i like to summarise it is democrats stole the election, but the republican covered it up. so i think a lot of interesting information and background stories to demonstrate why we never really got the clear the clear transfer parent investigation or that we wanted to see. it's been two years and we haven't seen it. so i show what i can and then

explain why i can't without other areas. but think even quite honestly , great britain i quite honestly, great britain i think you guys probably have similar political manoeuvring, chess playing out in your own election so even though we have different systems, i think it would apply there too. now the idea that the election has been stolen is contest did in the states including by several courts. but it's all about opinions, isn't it. and your clearly adds to the debate around the outcome of that election . i've started reading election. i've started reading it. it's a fascinating and very well researched. i've got say quick, final thought, cristina, tell me about trump. you've worked the big man at close quarters . tell worked the big man at close quarters. tell me about tell me about his approach his mentality, his mindset tell me about donald trump. the donald that, you know . so i about donald trump. the donald that, you know. so i am fortunate to come into this campaign on the second half of it. right? | campaign on the second half of it. right? i wasn't part of the 2016 race, so i'm seeing him new and i it's really fun for me to

see because i think evolved, you know, in 2016, he had never really been involved in politics before and wasn't really sure what to do. he relied a lot on political operatives , tell him political operatives, tell him what to think and what to say and. you know, all of that, even though he's for just telling you what he thinks i believe he's a lot savvier this time around. he has been around . block been lot savvier this time around. he hatheeen around . block been lot savvier this time around. he hathe white und . block been lot savvier this time around. he hathe white house.lock been lot savvier this time around. he hathe white house. he k been in the white house. he understand where attacks understand where the attacks came and probably where came from and probably where they're going to come from in they're going to come from in the future. and think he's the future. and i think he's much more difficult adversary at this point. i think it will be much harder to try to take him on now. then in 16. and i think we're going to clean our elections, clean up the corruption and can't wait to be a part of this campaign that i think is going to take by storm. well on that note, may i thank you for your fantastic contribution to the show tonight. christina bob, thank you for joining tonight. christina bob, thank you forjoining . the book is out you forjoining. the book is out now. let give you a details of it it is quite simply called

let's get that name up folks . let's get that name up folks. where is it? come air. it comes your votes . the inside story of your votes. the inside story of the 2020 election and what it means for 2024. thank you, christina lots more to come in a busy program. i'll get to your emails shortly, but coming up is , britain's military in long term decline is the view of a top us general and is a labour government now inevitable? and if so, what does that for you and me? what does it mean for britain? and i'll be asking top historian and inveterate dropper truth bombs, dr. david style key will be lively . sparky starkey will be lively. sparky starkey is .

next welcome back. this is mark dowden looking after the 8:00

slot. all of this week. now a shock. new poll courtesy of electoral calculus suggests the conservatives only win 45 seats at the next election, making them little bigger than the lib dems . it them little bigger than the lib dems. it would be their them little bigger than the lib dems . it would be their lowest dems. it would be their lowest performance on record. so is a labour government now inevitable? and if so , what does inevitable? and if so, what does that mean for britain? let's speak to broadcaster bestselling author and historian dr. david. hi, david. do labour deserve go at power? is this just cyclical . i think it is cyclical. i think it is simply that the have done so for so long and have shown absolutely no . of doing shown absolutely no. of doing any better. this is the problem. i do not think i mean to turn your question the other way . i your question the other way. i don't think there is any for labour or for keir starmer. no, i mean, starmer is not the kind of person who arrives as enthusiasm and nothing comes out

of the mouths of any of his spokesmen. so just fundamentally that they would do anything much from the conservatives one of the fundamental problems is, of course, they're absolutely boxed in by the financial position in which we find ourselves the welfare state has become this quasi monster. if you put together the nhs , if you put together the nhs, if you put together the nhs, if you put together welfare payments and pensions, all of the forms of government expenditure are about 25% of everything is squeezed, including which you're talking about now , including education, about now, including education, justice. so there is this dreadful problem for both parties . but dreadful problem for both parties. but can i just again throw another coin in the water? i think there is way the tories could get out if we take the principle that effectively people are saying stand on both your houses , you've got to ask your houses, you've got to ask why , why is everything gone? so

why, why is everything gone? so utterly, fundamentally wrong ? utterly, fundamentally wrong? and i think there is actually a very simple answer. it is the new labour government of 1997 onwards. if you look at the collapse of justice. it's due to the fact that we decided to demote the office of law . demote the office of law. chancellor, if you'd had something , like derek irving for something, like derek irving for labour or something like that, clive fund for the tories, you think justice would have been neglected like this if you not have the human rights act? we'd be to do something about immigrants . and it goes on the immigrants. and it goes on the court catastrophe of our finances goes directly to gordon and the decisions that he took . and the decisions that he took. the problem is of course you've 12 years of tory governments that have been tory that haven't dared to reverse what new labour did . can you imagine in world did. can you imagine in world that boris , i know you'll say , that boris, i know you'll say, david, you've gone soft in the end . imagine david, you've gone soft in the end. imagine if boris had actually kept the promise of a

if he'd actually done . what if if he'd actually done. what if what was there . this is why what was there. this is why there was the brexit. the brexit vote was a plague on the way we're doing now. people didn't want it. i think, frankly, we chose the wrong target. we chose europe . i think we should have europe. i think we should have chosen what's happened to our own government and done something. it it's interesting. i mean, some would argue that gordon brown came to the rescue of the economy with a decisive policy early in the downturn dunng policy early in the downturn during the credit crunch . we can during the credit crunch. we can move on to the current leadership. i just wonder whether it comes when it comes to polling day in the middle of a financial crisis this david whether a choice of rishi sunak or keir starmer the public might think twice about voting for starmer . yes but the problem is starmer. yes but the problem is that what radically different is sunak offering which may be i mean, shall we say that let let's let's be very kind to

reshape let's assume that he continues to micromanage . well, continues to micromanage. well, let's assume that without giving the radical reform that the nhs needs , it gets done little bit needs, it gets done little bit better. you get his very much. how can you it management consultants approach to government right we've got a problem with hospitals what we need ghastly word to increase is to increase throughput to the hospitals should be modelled on a supermarket in quickly quickly supposing begins to work. yes that might happen. but i think the rot is so deep . there's so the rot is so deep. there's so many things that need immigration. many things that need immigration . the state, the immigration. the state, the state of justice the state of the police, every time appear on tv news. you know, there is yet another crisis. there's yet another crisis. there's yet another problem. it's a sort omni shambles because the fundamentals wrong. now, tables are over. david farr, be for me to interrupt you a few seconds left. one other important question. i could listen you all night. of course i could . but

night. of course i could. but ben , the defence secretary, has ben, the defence secretary, has reportedly told by a senior us general that the british army is no longer considered a top level fighting force, arguing it's unable to protect the uk and its allies. is he right. if our military is in briefly why does it matter because the first purpose of a government is defend its people and this is what we forgotten. as i said , what we forgotten. as i said, we've got completely lost in wealth. we've got lost in woke, we've got lost tunisia life . we we've got lost tunisia life. we are under threat . there is are under threat. there is a vile enemy in the east of europe and he's somebody who will stop at nothing unless he stopped by power, which is the only thing he understands. we've got to have more of it. david thrilled to have you on the program. and look to catching up in the near future historian, a bestselling author , the wonderful david author, the wonderful david starkey . well, listen, let me starkey. well, listen, let me tell you, we're back tomorrow at eight with lots of big topics ,
