wrangling decades of debate , the wrangling decades of debate, the uk exited the eu . but three uk exited the eu. but three years on and the debate . brexit years on and the debate. brexit is far from . for those critics is far from. for those critics who wanted to remain, they point to economic problems claiming that stagnant growth is not just to the pandemic and warn ukraine, but also a . brexit. ukraine, but also a. brexit. evidence from the government's official obe all stated late last year that , leaving the eu last year that, leaving the eu had had a significant impact on trade , reducing both overall trade, reducing both overall volumes and the number of trade in relationships. brexit choosing fewer migrants from inside the eu . and while many inside the eu. and while many who voted to leave have welcomed this. it has led a shortfall of around 330,000 people in the labour force, mostly in low skilled , according to the oas . skilled, according to the oas. the government, however, do point to trade deals , 71 of them point to trade deals, 71 of them with non eu , including with with non eu, including with australia and new zealand ,

australia and new zealand, though they too have faced criticism from some conservatives for giving too much away and from bad for britain. this year the government has also to scrap or change lots of eu regulations still in place , hoping it will still in place, hoping it will improve our competitiveness and boost business. the thorniest problem though, with the brexit trade deal is to be found in northern ireland's , which led to northern ireland's, which led to the suspension of the assembly. and while former prime ministers have struggled and, failed to square the border circle , no square the border circle, no talks have . the eu has admitted talks have. the eu has admitted the protocol was too harsh and it seems that a new deal may be in sight . so where does this in sight. so where does this leave public opinion? well it appears to have shifted with the majority now thinking brexit was a mistake. but a poll week on whether it should reversed entirely found that only 43% said yes. with 41% disagreeing. if you exclude , those who didn't if you exclude, those who didn't know it would be 51 to 49 in

favour of rejoining three years on. i think it's fair to say brexit continues to divide britain. gb news well, joining me now from westminster is gb news presenter and so my colleague, mr. brexit nigel farage i certainly would call him. mr. brexit morning. on a day like this on anniversary, do you wake up and think all of the victories we were hoping for have been achieved ? or do you have been achieved? or do you have been achieved? or do you have a heart? think the victories that we've basically haven't had . oh well look mean haven't had. oh well look mean you know what happened three years ago today was a very big moment. i mean, not just a big historic moment, but it marked the end of over three years of the end of over three years of the most disgraceful period of modern democracy in britain, where a national referendum and the attempt to stop and it went through large of politics and

the media. this was the day three years ago that finally , three years ago that finally, finally the people's voice was respected. i think it's absolutely right that should be absolutely right that should be a self—governing, democratic nation. we should chart our own course in the world. however three years on, you have to say the enormous opportunities and economic opportunities we had from everything from the fishing industry to financial services. we not taken advantage of. now, some will tell you that's because the government was preoccupied with covid. but i think the truth it is the conservative party who fought against it all the way, then landed us with a very bad deal. i mean, boris johnson told us it was oven ready. i mean, the oven wasn't even preheated frankly, i just don't they ever really believed in it. in the end, they grabbed it for electoral opportunity . a so many of us, opportunity. a so many of us, including me , feel very

including me, feel very disappointed about the way in which the conservatives of carried this out. and the big one the really big one is this the reason the turnout in that referendum was about 10% higher than all the experts thought it would be. there was one piece of sovereignty that people really demand that was sorted out and that was britain's borders and if you look today, levels of legal immigration are far higher than they as the european union members , let alone the 45,000 members, let alone the 45,000 people that crossed the english channelin people that crossed the english channel in small dinghies last year.i channel in small dinghies last year. i don't think people who voted brexit to get back control of our borders have every right today , three years on, to feel today, three years on, to feel betrayed . this government , when betrayed. this government, when you look at what the both main parties are saying now, nigel, with the conservatives and also with the conservatives and also with labour , their position on with labour, their position on the eu , you get the message. do the eu, you get the message. do you get the feeling that the message that they are sending

about about how that how they handle the relationship with europe forward is what you would want to hear. for me either of them . well i think the message them. well i think the message that we're getting from the government is that a deal is close on northern, which will mean , i'm almost certain that mean, i'm almost certain that constitutionally ireland will just not be fully part of the united kingdom and the message i get from david lammy, particularly from labour, is he says, on the one hand, we will not rejoin the single market or the european union will rejoin virtually every other group , virtually every other group, will align ourselves to their rules. so i think, you know , rules. so i think, you know, assuming that labour win the next election, which i think is a fairly good bet, we'll finish up with a full brain, a full brexit in name only. we will be independent, but our room for manoeuvre if . we mirror manoeuvre if. we mirror everything the eu does will be very, very limited and that will lead you down the path to some saying , well, look, if we're

saying, well, look, if we're having to accept eu laws, maybe we should be in there having a say so. look i think, you know, as i say , the conservatives want as i say, the conservatives want as i say, the conservatives want a massive on the back of a get brexit done the slogan. have you made a terrible mess of it for over three years? boris johnson's government at the world at feet. they had the chance to , bring opportunity and chance to, bring opportunity and benefit out to tens of millions of britons and they've dropped the ball . we've got this awful the ball. we've got this awful news today . the state of the news today. the state of the british economy worse than expected from from the imf. and it wasn't whether that was just a coincidence that this news has come out but maybe that's come out today. but maybe that's just me being a little cynical about how the media might be playing this. and there be playing this. and there will be people today up there were columnists all over the paper saying. well, know, is saying. well, you know, this is because brexit, the state of because of brexit, the state of our we lay our economy. we can like lay this frankly at the door of nigel farage. what would you say to those people ? well, surprise to those people? well, surprise only given that the imf is globalist organisation helped to organise bail outs of the euro

when it was in trouble . all of when it was in trouble. all of that the imf report, which is pretty grim, pretty bearish , pretty grim, pretty bearish, doesn't put the blame on brexit, puts it firmly on british policy. tax very much at the top of the list. no attempt to deal with britain's productivity problem and as a direct result of this conservative party's policies , we're now seeing the policies, we're now seeing the first brain drain in britain since the late 1970s, where our bright young entrepreneurs are heading to portugal, italy and parts of the world. that's got to do with brexit. that's about complete mismanagement of our economy . it appears they haven't economy. it appears they haven't got the message. i mean, ironically since brexit, we've become even more of a european social model economy than we were before, and that was our choice made by our government led from downing street. we're running our twitter poll this morning nigel asking our viewers and listeners whether they would

wish to leave or now 8% at the moment say they would be happy to leave, which is probably to your ears. just to give you an idea, though, what message has said, let me just put this to katy on twitter said that brexit has destroyed market, has destroyed labour market, which why nhs and care which is why nhs and care service is short staffed, hospitality is understaffed and too is lack of a good workforce of brexit. nigel have seen the immigration numbers. 1.2 million people settled in britain . year people settled in britain. year 1.2 million. there are numbers coming into britain from all around the world. the likes of we have never ever seen before. the problem in our labour market. oh, by the way, the labour market shortages in australia , america as well . the australia, america as well. the biggest problem in our labour market is we have too many people of working age who now choose not to work that a deep cultural allied to the welfare

state. nothing to do with whatsoever. you know this this that because of brexit. no one's coming into britain. i'll remind you again, legal immigration is now the highest into this country . it's been in the country. it's been in the history of our nation . and it's history of our nation. and it's remarkable when you when you think about that, it is mind blowing. nigel, you and i were both working at the same media outlet when the referendum was held , and i remember talking to held, and i remember talking to the public every as you were and all of the kind of that the sort of establish ment members, the established media i spoke to were absolutely convinced that brexit going to brexit was never going to happen. when you were happen. but when you were talking people phoning in a talking real people phoning in a radio show, i would come off air every week and i would say chaotic. we're leaving. chaotic. okay, we're leaving. we're leaving there's doubt we're leaving. there's no doubt when look back on that when you look back on that result, i think me part of result, i think for me part of it is one of the biggest occasions in history where those at the top of the elite of power the establishment had so little understanding of how the man on

the street actually felt. is that you see it now with the passage of time . oh yes. i mean, passage of time. oh yes. i mean, brexit was a grassroots revolution. nobody wanted it. none of the political parties wanted it. and actually, until the couple of years, none of the newspapers even wanted it ehhen newspapers even wanted it either. let alone. the trade unions and businesses , unions and businesses, organisations. this was a revolution and really was the rise of ukip that the fear of god into the established . that's god into the established. that's what made cameron promise referendum. if he won a majority and even when we got to polling day june 23rd, 2016. i'm still those inside the london bubble did not what was happening in the country and the real hope was that what brexit give us was a new kind of and actually the truth of it is in london nothing has changed at all and i think those disconnect on policy between london and the rest i think they're still there today

on immigration. net zero and many other things . give me an many other things. give me an optimist like last line . what optimist like last line. what what do we have to forward to in terms of the freedoms from not being within the eu? let's find some reason to be cheerful . well some reason to be cheerful. well years ago, when ukip was first setting up, i found myself . i'd setting up, i found myself. i'd been a conservative supporter. i found myself with somebody , been found myself with somebody, been very much on the left of the labour party of benefit. and so we both agreed we should leave the and be self—governing the eu and be a self—governing nation. disagreed about nation. but we disagreed about how should be governed . so we how it should be governed. so we reached a compromise was by leaving the eu we'd regain our birthright to mismanage our own country. and i tell you, the conservatives are doing that incredibly well . it's up to us incredibly well. it's up to us now . it's up incredibly well. it's up to us now. it's up to us incredibly well. it's up to us now . it's up to us now. incredibly well. it's up to us now. it's up to us now. you incredibly well. it's up to us now . it's up to us now. you know now. it's up to us now. you know we can vote for governments that do things well or do things badly as members of the eu. was very little we could do to change that was put upon us by a

majority of eu states. it's up to us. we're in charge of our own future and we ought to make a rather better job of own future and we ought to make a rather betterjob of it own future and we ought to make a rather better job of it . okay. a rather better job of it. okay. thank you so much , farage, who thank you so much, farage, who will be on your telly of you at 7:00 tonight? no doubt has a very busy day ahead of him. don't forget, we've got a twitter poll running this morning. i'm asking you, with it being three years on since brexit, if we were still in the eu, would you now vote to, leave or remain? cast your vote at gb news. when i last up to about 80% of you would be still happy to leave. send me your e—mails as gbviews@gbnews.uk or tweet me at gb news. now after this quick break. on the day that we are marking three years since brexit, the uk economy expected to perform worse than all other advanced economies. this year, including russia. we're going to have look reasons why after have look the reasons why after a .

break okay. let me switch to my panel this morning. i'm delighted to be joined by of the top lawyers in the country she was the immediate past president she is the immediate past president the law england and wales. law society, england and wales. stephanie political stephanie boyce and political editor the daily express, sam editor of the daily express, sam lister . editor of the daily express, sam lister. ladies, this news this about the state of the economy the imf have predicted the worst performance out of the g7 nations. some do you understand why ? well, they're saying why? well, they're saying actually parts of it's down to the government's fiscal policy is tax and spending. yes and obviously, this is hugely controversial area within the conservative party because there is this massive split between those who think rishi sunak is doing the right thing by focusing entirely on reducing inflation. and then there's a huge of conservative mp who

really want taxes to be caught and they think that is vital in sparking growth in the economy and they will be easing the imf reports to back up their case. they are meeting jeremy hunt tonight. he's he's going to address the 1922 committee of backbenchers right and no that you can expect those big voices on the backbenches to be calling for tax cuts in the budget in march. the problem is, of course rishi sunak and jeremy hunt have made such a clear vision , the made such a clear vision, the economy and what they want in opposition to what liz truss suggests which was a pro—growth low taxation investment plan . low taxation investment plan. they can't really they can't really back on that now come stephanie this is very difficult for them to now so actually we've rethought we're seeing the imf statistics. we've seen the imf statistics. we've seen the imf saying these are tied to fiscal and monetary policy and financial conditions and high energy retail prices are still causing this. we're going to our plan. they can't do it well. wow

what we expect of our politicians is that they're going to act in the best interest of this country . and if interest of this country. and if that means backpedalling and doing what is in the best of this country and, despite the fact that it says mounting , the fact that it says mounting, the pm and chancellor have held back on calls to slash taxes if that is acting in the best interest of the country, then fair? but i would suggest that if it means looking relooking again at what is in the best interest of our economy to get our economy working so that we're not ahead of the g7 . we are the slowest of the g7. we are the slowest economy to get working . we need economy to get working. we need to get our economy working . how to get our economy working. how can they? because spin this any way ? you know, how could they way? you know, how could they get on the phone to the editor of your newspaper and go, right, listen, this is how we're going to play this. you're going to set this is our position. we're going to explain this is why we're they have we're doing it. they have nothing. is such bad news. nothing. this is such bad news. how do they it what they do say

is actually we've heard is that actually we've heard from we had a statement from the chancellor he says is chancellor and what he says is actually we've outperformed imf before. we've outperformed other forecasts international bodies before. and that actually if we halve inflation is as they to do, then that will us on the path to growth. now you actually get the kind of back benchers saying similar things about different forecasts that the government the government to certain forecasts and then obviously dismissal of the you get the reverse from the backbench. get the reverse from the backbench . so you know it's backbench. so you know it's horses for courses really on this obviously it's a big day in the brexit chronology today what impact some you think that has had ? well, i think the problem had? well, i think the problem for on the brexit side is that these poor forecasts allow people who have always been opposed to brexit to seize on them and say, look, we told you it was all going to be

disastrous. now obviously , if disastrous. now obviously, if you look around the world, other countries struggling, too, and they haven't gone through brexit. so i think it's difficult to blame it on brexit, but obviously remainers do actually use it as a stick to beat with. and of course we have these strictest lockdown rules in europe. i think apart maybe italy, they lost more days of than we did and that has be playing a big part in this this cost of lockdown crisis we're in. absolutely we have strictest lockdown through pandemic. we also perhaps had some of the most generous fiscal throughout . so that has contributed to it. and dare i say , according to the and dare i say, according to the telegraph . 36 million people or telegraph. 36 million people or 54.2% of individuals in this country paid less than they received in benefit or benefits in—kind . so we cannot grow in—kind. so we cannot grow economy if we haven't got people paying economy if we haven't got people paying taxes . so i'm trying to

paying taxes. so i'm trying to rationalise in my own mind how slashing taxes. it sounds good and when you talk about spain absolutely . let's cut taxes. it absolutely. let's cut taxes. it sounds good . but if we've got sounds good. but if we've got less people paying tax and we're going to slash taxes, i'm unclear how that's going to grow economy and it would be great for the government the chancellor anyone to come out and tell us how are we going to get out of this mess. that's what people every day people who are battling the cost of living crisis want hear. well, i guess that, says nigel farage said we've brain drain. the we've got this brain drain. the uk currently very place for uk is currently a very place for a of people to live and work a lot of people to live and work and maybe reducing taxes . keep and maybe reducing taxes. keep more of those people here . you more of those people here. you know, those who are good earners but youngish and going into the workplace maybe that's that's where that's how that would work. yeah but also i think this is something jeremy hunt's actually said quite recently himself. he wants focus tax himself. he wants to focus tax cuts for businesses . and cuts for businesses. and actually, if you start with businesses what we want is the

entrepreneurial spirit, want to revitalise the economy. and that starts with people who are willing to go out there and take a risk to set their own business, but then employ people. so i think that's probably sensible way to start on this. but obviously people going out to work day, you want to see the benefits of it, you do want to see your wages all go down taxes. so you know, but i think businesses is probably the right way to start. okay right. thanks, okay after this thanks, ladies. okay after this quick break, the nhs is planning to up space in a&e by to free up space in a&e by treating up to 50,000 elderly and vulnerable patients in virtual wards at home. i'm so that sounds safe to you. i think it's not actually a terrible idea . that's all. after your idea. that's all. after your morning news. i idea. that's all. after your morning news . i left idea. that's all. after your morning news. i left gb newsroom. it's 1031. the prime minister has praised what he's called britain's strides in taking advantage of the opportunities opened up by brexit. rishi sunak made the

statement on the third anniversary of the uk withdrawing from the eu, adding the is confidently forging new path as an independent nation. that's despite a recent poll suggesting that 45% of britons say brexit is going worse than expected . meanwhile, the uk's expected. meanwhile, the uk's economy expected to perform worse than . all other advanced worse than. all other advanced economies. this as the cost of living crisis continues to hit households . the international households. the international monetary has warned the uk's gdp will shrink by nought point 6% in 2023, rather than slightly as it previously predicted. it says the shrinking of the economy reflects the uk's high energy pnces reflects the uk's high energy prices and financial conditions. such as high inflation. well i think over the last couple of years. we have a we have to see some difficult and we are we have seen some stability be brought in by rishi and jeremy. what we're seeing now is constantly changes. but as the

government concentrating on five top priorities, first of all, deaung top priorities, first of all, dealing with the boats , dealing with the boats, secondly, dealing the secondly, dealing with the backlog. we've to get that backlog. but we've to get that under control. we've got to get inflation under and inflation under control. and we've going. but we've got growth going. but i think we can really the think that we can really the trend with beating in the forecast, and oecd forecast, the imf and the oecd over last couple of years over the last couple of years and i we can certainly do and i think we can certainly do it again. nhs consultants in england will hold indicatore in ballot on taking industrial action . the british medical action. the british medical association , although this is association, although this is not a formal ballot, it represents a significant escalation towards what the union says are leaving the profession or cutting their hours due to significant pay cuts and unfair pension . a cuts and unfair pension. a £10,000 reward is being offered for a who's been missing for weeks along with her newborn baby and sex offender partner , baby and sex offender partner, 35 year old aristocrat constance martin and her family been sleeping rough to avoid being found. they were last seen in east sussex on january eighth .

by treating up to 50,000 elderly and vulnerable patients in virtual at home, the virtual wards at home, the department of health and social care said that up to 20% of emergency hospital admissions avoidable would be avoidable with right in right with the right care in right place. virtual wards save place. so can virtual wards save the nhs ? hear from two people on the nhs? hear from two people on this now because i think it's a really interesting topic. dr. bob gill is, an nhs doctor and director of the nhs director of the great nhs highest . hi director of the great nhs highest. hi bob. and dr. director of the great nhs highest . hi bob. and dr. david highest. hi bob. and dr. david lloyd, nhs gp, welcome him. welcome both to the show . bob, welcome both to the show. bob, if i can start with you. the idea of virtual wards just first of all explain to people what thatis of all explain to people what that is how does that work and what might the benefits be . what might the benefits be. yeah, so the idea is to set up it yeah, so the idea is to set up i.t structures the patient's home so that they can be monitored down the line virtually. that's that's the idea . what on the one i'm idea. what on the one i'm worried about is whether there's any real world trialling of the

idea to for people at home. we've had various initiatives over the years which probably is to deal with delays in discharge in the hospitals but unfortunately none of them really work the community staff are there to back the care at home just don't exist. we've had a loss of the district nurse workforce in, the community. so i'm afraid what the government is doing is in enacting a predetermined plan for policy to cover the fact that they have actively i'm sorry 25,000 hospital beds over the last decade. hospital beds over the last decade . we are haemorrhaging decade. we are haemorrhaging staff. we have a big workforce. how but the problems have been created by a government they're reacting with a pretty telling solution which which is design not for patient care but to deliver profits for big tech

companies and. again, reroute money away the delivery of patient dr. david, if i can come to you do you have some experience of these wards and how they might help to clear the backlog . yes of course the wards backlog. yes of course the wards not been are not a new idea . not been are not a new idea. they were invented i think in croydon ten years ago . but the croydon ten years ago. but the technology has suggested it really came to the fore during covid and. i actually was the clinical lead for our covid hub. you know , where i work in harrow you know, where i work in harrow and.so you know, where i work in harrow and. so the technology to monitor people really came on very strongly during covid, and i think it demonstrated demonstrated we can monitor people at home safely and give them good treatment. so i think them good treatment. so i think the idea behind these virtual wards is a very good one indeed. and i do share some of those misgivings. but that i think this has to be the way forward. ihave this has to be the way forward. i have patients in time and time

again saying when they went into hospital , they caught covid from hospital, they caught covid from people in the hospital, hospitals are dangerous places unless you really need to be there. so being treated at home by a team very much in the same way that treat in hospitals. so admitted to the ward you then have visits and a dedicated team looking after you and when you're better you're discharged from the ward using concept of the virtual ward i think is a very good one. and so i'm really looking forward to the way that that going to ramp up over the next few years provided of course we can get the teams to in deal with it because we do have huge shortages the nhs have huge shortages in the nhs as absolutely anybody tried to even get their broadband working or their printer will. that technology is not 100% fail. fail safe and can be deeply frustrated . so just just give me frustrated. so just just give me an idea, if you would, david, the kind of things that can be

monitored remotely and what happens if there is an emergency absolutely . so we used to ask absolutely. so we used to ask our patients take their blood pressure that and their oxygen levels when . they had covid at levels when. they had covid at home and they a gave them an accurate method and so it was technology were very used to zero three times a day they would put it in their levels and those numbers would be cut back automatically onto a screen, backit automatically onto a screen, back it up . and if we noticed back it up. and if we noticed that the numbers deteriorating, you know, red lights go off of that and we would be able to talk to patients straight away or get help to those facilities , they they still had the to bonus and they found us a lot better a lot of people finally are really quite easy to use and to pump in the data and you can take that a step further and actually do real time monitoring as well. so the technology is there, but it is about people listening to. you know what concerns me, dr. as i'm listening to that, is that a lot

these people who are having these people who are having these monitoring be quite elderly and technol ageing is not always the easiest thing for them to actually manage. and how do you account for the error or the human error? and also pressure on that, that poor patient, possibly their husband or wife trying to them out, or wife trying to help them out, their partner ? i give you an their partner? i give you an absolute answer to that. but what we found was, is that is that most people have got a younger person is much more i.t. literate than they are and i just push back as i'm just about the age of 70. these philosophies are actually quite good. a lot of our patients use email narrators . i think the email narrators. i think the technology isn't frightening for people who know what grown up with it and, making it as easy as possible is. obviously one of the things we've got to do. yeah wasn't suggesting that you know sometimes i managed to help my mother log back into her facebook account. take facebook account. it does take a but i'm not suggesting that all

the old senior citizens are struggling with this tech. but bob, that bob, it looks to me like that does potential issues. and does have potential issues. and i worry about the lack of humanity . where are the patient? humanity. where are the patient? where people looking where are the people looking after patients ? yeah so, you after the patients? yeah so, you know , care is about human know, care is about human contact . we already have a contact. we already have a problem with elderly people being socially isolated, not being socially isolated, not being able to give that long to one carer, not being able to provide continuity of care as its own psychological burden on the patient, but i want to return to the problem, the root of the problem . we know during of the problem. we know during the pandemic the government were mandating care staff to take the vaccine against their will. as a result that we had a haemorrhaging of staff of the care sector which has had a knock on effect on hospital discharges. but the government isn't addressing the quick fix solutions . what they're doing is solutions. what they're doing is proposing high tech, expensive , proposing high tech, expensive, unproven, proposed , which happen

unproven, proposed, which happen to line the pockets of big private contractors . this is a private contractors. this is a common theme. look how they responded to the pandemic. it was outsourced to serco and deloitte. we had 37 billion wasted on tests traced the nhs this history on it investment is appalling in the mid 2000 we had something called connecting for health which spent 16 billion and was then abandoned and described one of the world's biggest disastrous public ip procurement. so the government do not have a good track record i.t. investment or assessing the utility of it, but they're failing to address the elephant in the room, which is a manpower problem. and the dysfunction that goes along with it, the real admission of people who are discharged prematurely and the knock on effects are people languishing on waiting lists, having to present again , again having to present again, again and again to have pain relieved

while they're still waiting for an operation. okay all right. thank you, gentlemen. just say, of course, serco and nhs on health defend themselves about that. but listen, this is the stuff that we need to be debating as share your debating as i share your concerns, that this concerns, bob, that this technology , technological technology, these technological solutions are pushed through often without enough debate but often without enough debate. but i really appreciate your experience as well in experience dr. lloyd as well in telling also be telling us how this also be a success. thank you both very telling us how this also be a succesthishank you both very telling us how this also be a succesthis morning. both very telling us how this also be a succesthis morning. now very telling us how this also be a succesthis morning. now aery telling us how this also be a succesthis morning. now a top much this morning. now a top legal commentator has told gb news that he thinks it's unlikely that the uk out of unlikely that the uk pull out of a controversial human rights agreement despite growing calls to treaty. those in to ditch the treaty. those in favour of withdrawal from the european convention on human rights that it blocks uk rights say that it blocks uk legislation such as a more robust policy channel. migrants all home security ed mark white has been taking a look at what leaving the ecj could mean in recent days of people have arrived in uk waters on small boats as home office officials quietly plan for the possible

oddhy quietly plan for the possible oddity that up to twice the 45,000 who cross last could come in the year ahead. but thought deeply unpalatable for many is fuelling calls for the uk to withdraw from a human treaty that critics believe is hampering efforts to introduce a more assertive immigration policy . introduced in the years policy. introduced in the years after world war ii. the european convention on human rights was drawn up by the initial members of the then fledgling council on europe. offered key protections to prevent those member governments abusing the fundamental rights their people. critics say there is no for the uk to still tied to such a treaty that it's ludicrous. judges a european court can rulings against british government policy post—brexit .

government policy post—brexit. they cite the recent decision by the court in strasbourg to block a home office bound for rwanda as part of a deal struck the african nation to process asylum seekers there . he's actually seekers there. he's actually right. can i thank him for raising this is a critically important but despite its many critics and indications by justice secretary dominic raab that he would be willing to consider it. seasoned legal commentator. consider it. seasoned legal commentator . joshua rosenberg commentator. joshua rosenberg thinks it's highly unlikely the uk will ditch the treaty . this uk will ditch the treaty. this doesn't seem remotely . it was doesn't seem remotely. it was something that dominic raab floated towards the end of last yeah floated towards the end of last year. it's not been picked up by anybody else . certainly not part anybody else. certainly not part of the bill that's before parliament. and that bill itself seems to be going . it was seems to be going. it was published last summer but hasn't yet had first main debate. its second reading debate, as it's called the house of commons. the critics believe the british bill

of rights legislation still working its way through parliament could be turbocharged to take over from the european treaty. there's no doubt it would be complex, though as the ecj is woven into the very fabnc ecj is woven into the very fabric of uk human rights laws. and there's another issue at play and there's another issue at play here. despite the imperative to deal more robustly with the likes of the small boat crisis, the government is proud of the uk's record on human rights pulling out of the treaty would be seen by many as a major blow to britain's long held position, as a champion of human rights on the international stage . ditching the ecj would stage. ditching the ecj would put the uk in the same club as only other two european countries not signed up to the treaty. belarus and russia. mark white . gb news. thank you. mark

white. gb news. thank you. mark wright . back at the breakfast wright. back at the breakfast bar with my guest top lawyer stephanie boyce and political editor of the daily sam lister. right, sam let's start now with your piece in the express . your piece in the express. 500,000 to walk out in biggest of strikes for ten years as fears for the economy grow tomorrow is going to be the biggest strike day in history. why so ? we've got teachers why so? we've got teachers you've got railway workers , you've got railway workers, you've got railway workers, you've got railway workers, you've got civil servants. it's to be a huge day of disruption if you're a parent with children in school, you know, you're really going to struggle. you also like commute on the train , also like commute on the train, mean you might as well just write tomorrow off. it's going to be difficult . and you know, to be difficult. and you know, we've spoken to economists. they predict they believe that over the last eight months of strike action that the amount lost from the strike days alone, from the workers and those workers who commute in can't get into their office. yeah, it's 2 billion. now, on top of that, you've got the on retail and entertainment. so it's many billions more than

but just the impact those actual people walking is 2 billion. so at a time of recovery it is difficult. it's so difficult isn't it, stephanie? what what what what's your take on this? should we should there be a sense of collective response ability from the strikers to say is not the time. ability from the strikers to say is not the time . well i do think is not the time. well i do think the fact that we're having this record number of strikes and i think ten years is absolutely disappointing for everyone involved . and even more involved. and even more disappointing for the figures that sam has said as well as for our economy tomorrow . if you're our economy tomorrow. if you're if you're relying on the train most of my week has been written off that very reason i do think it's very sad that we have found ourselves we should not in this position in the first place. and what i would like to see in no doubt viewers and others would like to see both sides being realistic as to what can be resolved through this strike and through any agreed that can be

brokered between parties. i just think it's disruptive. it's not helpful . sam mentioned about helpful. sam mentioned about students on top of all the time that they missed throughout the pandemic to have this in addition. but it's not just, of course, teachers, it's the system , our public services system, our public services sector is broken. it needs to be fixed. and that includes dare i say it, wait for it, but that includes our justice system as includes ourjustice system as well, because there are portions of our workers who cannot strike. and of course, solicitors are of those who contractually criminal defence practitioners who in the justice system cannot for legal reasons and of course the reason why i mentioned that is because last week on the 19th of january, the government published the current criminal cases backlog in the courts . 69% of cases criminal cases backlog in the courts. 69% of cases in criminal cases backlog in the courts . 69% of cases in the courts. 69% of cases in the criminal courts are waiting two years or more to be heard . that years or more to be heard. that is the highest figure since 14.

so we need to double absolutely for the victim , the for the for the victim, the for the accused, the witnesses , all accused, the witnesses, all those lives on hold . absolutely. those lives on hold. absolutely. absolutely. and it's not just the courts, the cases are backlogged. it's the infrastructure around the justice system . and many of us justice system. and many of us will go to the justice system for a number of reasons. but first and foremost , to assert first and foremost, to assert our rights . so we need our rights. so we need a solution oh, this is so depressing . that person you're depressing. that person you're going to say, can you talk country up? i would love to can think of anything, go to them. oh, i mean i mean look for me on the spot now. kate middleton look lovely in a red trouser. beautiful beautiful. i'm sorry . beautiful beautiful. i'm sorry. all i've got. she look great. right? let's talk about 50 minutes city. this is a story from guardian this morning. every household in england is going to be within a 50 minutes of green space or water. a major environmental plan includes , environmental plan includes, tackling sewage spills, restoring wildlife habitats . restoring wildlife habitats. critics are questioning the lack of funding, but this critic would also question, what is

this ? what does this mean? sam, this? what does this mean? sam, on a scale, what are we being nudged towards? because our this article is something a piece on the world are coming form website, which has been there for a long time talking about the fact that we are moving towards 50 minute cities. we're being encouraged to live smaller and lives. that and smaller lives. is that how you it? yeah, think there is you it? yeah, i think there is an element of thought in that they actually do for the sake of they actually do for the sake of the environment, powers that the environment, the powers that be people to fewer be would like people to fewer journeys their and you journeys in their cars. and you know, seems fairly sensible know, that seems fairly sensible to try walk anywhere. to me. i try and walk anywhere. yeah. a short journey . but yeah. in a short journey. but that's because it's, you know easy to do in a city you do that in the countryside . so. but i in the countryside. so. but i think it's almost harks back the 19505, think it's almost harks back the 1950s, doesn't it, this kind of sense that you stay in your area , you know, all your neighbours, you use all the local services that's very a very lovely thing . but actually people do want to move about . they do want to move about. they do want to expand the horizons. they do

like to travel about and use, go different places and see different places and see different things. and not everybody wants to just stick to their area so closely . their local area so closely. stop encouraging us to smaller, be more parochial, mean anyone in lockdown who walked their local park two or three times a day. i literally sort of drove a thorough, you know, round little local sort of urban park. what you make of this, stephanie , you make of this, stephanie, this is something that we're all in on board with in principle. it sounds good, but i don't like it. well, absolutely . the it. well, absolutely. the government is right to be ambitious for the infamous and for the green economy. but questioned and others have questioned and others have questioned how thought through this is actually bad because as it says. i think there's 2.8 million people in the uk who live more than 10 minutes from a green space. and i'm not clear they've calculated that, but also, i cannot so whilst we're talking about households living within 15 minutes of green space, i would like to take us like us to take a look at those

households the first place there is still a significant portion of . our citizens who are living of. our citizens who are living in suburbs , standard housing in suburbs, standard housing conditions. let alone walk in or finding a green space within 15 minutes to walk to or get to. so there a number of factors issues contained within this proposal that i think need to be given more thought and addressed. and of course, above it's about funding. how this all going to be funded. yeah. and what is going to be what is going to go away? because what we need is more housing. so don't take away, you know, 25 houses and give path if what we need give us a path if what we need is the housing, although of course love nature, we should course i love nature, we should all be closer to nature. i get that. but also me tell you the people are making these people who are making these decisions, living decisions, they won't be living 50 won't be 50 minute lives. they won't be restricted go into their restricted to go into their urban park with a 50 minute walk. so i think we just have to be of these sorts be very mindful of these sorts of in these big, of stories in these big, significant social changes right that our first that is the end of our first houn that is the end of our first hour. going have hour. we're going to have staunch and

staunch remainer and a brexiteer, they'll here brexiteer, june. they'll be here to head to head on the day, to go head to head on the day, which is three days since we left the eu. we'll right back left the eu. we'll be right back in 2 minutes. cennimo oh, in just 2 minutes. cennimo oh, it's aidan mcgivern here with the latest forecast from the met office. once the cloud in the south clears, it's a afternoon for many with showers in the north, but turning increasingly as this low pressure edges closer, it's a deep low near iceland, but it's still maintaining some influence . the maintaining some influence. the uk, it sent its weather fronts overnight this cold front as it runs into high pressure is a diminished feature and really only exists as a band of cloud around the south coast early afternoon even that clears away to sunny spells across much of england wales but for scotland and northern ireland blustery showers and an increased wind as we go into the afternoon as well. that wind particularly gust on hills and coast gust here on hills and coast making feel 47 degrees in the making it feel 47 degrees in the north. whilst in the south it's milder , 11 to 12 celsius. but milder, 11 to 12 celsius. but under any clear skies through the evening, actually, temperatures will fall away.

to? well i just listened to your news bulletin, david. it said it all the irish say we're going to have the lowest growth rate of g7 with 5% smaller as an economy . we've got food prices going up . the owners of possessions . to . the owners of possessions. to six just released figures show not me not you know no june just ordinary small businesses walking away from creative wealth because they can't export to europe. they can't the labour they need. and we've looked at all these strikes in britain this segment of europe and why are we strikes there also in part because we've sent 300 400 health care workers home care home workers doctors , nurses. so home workers doctors, nurses. so all of us queuing up and thinking, my poor knee . much, thinking, my poor knee. much, much longer . thinking, my poor knee. much, much longer. thanks to brexit. we voted for it. by the way . we voted for it. by the way. your pretty post fascinate thing. but there was a if i may say a more scientific one

yesterday. 10,000 people surveyed unheard . no. okay are surveyed unheard. no. okay are pretty polls are pretty polls people. how dare you? that is a people. how dare you? that is a people . oh well i expect more people. oh well i expect more the just the free because. okay and what do they show in but three constituencies. there's now majority saying the decision wrong and even in manchester june your your your home manchester gorton that's a red wall seat working class seats graeme street an old friend is at european is good even there it's now over 50% saying it was wrong. now that's a little change. and he seemed to still kiss those where he is. rishi sunak's. where is the lib dems? where they are, but nonetheless this is not a happy at the moment. okay june, let me come to you then . it is not a happy to you then. it is not a happy country. denis is right about that. but is it fair to lay that at the door of brexit? well, denis is blaming the horse . it's denis is blaming the horse. it's the jockey that's at fault .

the jockey that's at fault. we've just been out the european union in 20 and seven weeks later we were locked down. i'm not sure that i would have the audacity to blame brexit for the state of the current economy . state of the current economy. germany's not doing very well . germany's not doing very well. portugal is skin . greece is portugal is skin. greece is skin. italy skin . spain's a skin. italy skin. spain's a basket case. france would be a third world economy if it wasn't making its colonial debt get paid back because of extreme measures. i'm glad to say that dennis's lesson is that of unfortunate going back to 2017 when dennis actually said and it was reported in a conservative article that he called vote in people who voted for brexit were bonkers nutcases. i do say james don't in the line and i don't see myself as a businesswoman bonkers. i had a house in austria , a pet passport. he got austria, a pet passport. he got i voted for my country to make its own rules and trade negotiations. and we sit on the

beachesin negotiations. and we sit on the beaches in the european union. we use the ski slopes. we sit on the we drink red wine. we cheese, we buy the cars. we were clothes were the best customer and they treated us like dirt. the punishing us for having the audacity to leave in case anyone else wants to us. we could have left easily. and you know , will left easily. and you know, will lie to your side . your side lie to your side. your side lied. the media lied owned by the same security companies telling us that boeing would close down, telling is that nissan would close nissan were taking on apprentices at the time but it was left to bloggers me to get the truth out because all mainstream media wanted to believe wanted to believe because of corporate advantage is that brexit was a mistake and brexit is not a mistake and brexit is not a mistake and brexit has not had any time all to flourish and to reap the benefits because of lockdown, elongated lockdowns and because of ridiculous decisions by idiots like matt hancock and bofis idiots like matt hancock and boris johnson. well they're the

reason this country is in a mess. duff p billion spent . mess. duff p billion spent. track and trace. duff duff . duff track and trace. duff duff. duff we are in the got plenty of resources. okay dennis and dennis mcshane. there's lot to react to that. go on tell jim what you really think . it's what you really think. it's great. it's great. it's great fun . so i made a point known fun. so i made a point known stop buried myself . you say stop buried myself. you say respect the leave voters now. do i think they'll malevolent people involved putin, rupert murdoch, others? yes by g telling me the entire media was brexit, the sun , the daily brexit, the sun, the daily telegraph , times, the guardian, telegraph, times, the guardian, comment pages . owen jones , the comment pages. owen jones, the daily express. but you could you could ask. you've just had the daily express printed because to get her to read out her articles in favour of staying europe in 2016. but the point simply is we do it if we if i may say so, didn't mean in any way to be rude when you analyse seeing the

old songs, people want to hear some new language and it's not coming from . anyone in politics coming from. anyone in politics i don't think beverly it's where it's really coming . the media, it's really coming. the media, we were lacking someone to lead us out, whichever you want to go. you said the problem . the go. you said the problem. the jockey jude . well, they were my jockey jude. well, they were my jockeys and boris johnson wasn't my jockey . at least trust wasn't my jockey. at least trust wasn't my jockey. at least trust wasn't my jockey. at least trust wasn't my jockey. theresa certainly wasn't my job. david cameron, one of the worst private instances we've ever had. was it my jockey ? is rishi your jockey my jockey? is rishi your jockey now ? he's quite slender and now? he's quite slender and slim. so you probably weighs it at the right level. do you feel do you failed to that rishi sunakis do you failed to that rishi sunak is a pair of safe hands to negotiate our relationship with the eu whilst being out of it. i'd rather see the country in those islands that kenny ever is today. when he used to do here come the. no, we're not in safe hands. i agree with every single word that danny we've got word that danny said. we've got

a silly. the tories wouldn't be in power if we hadn't offered a referendum . the tories wouldn't referendum. the tories wouldn't be in power if they hadn't had it. the tories are clinging on to power making that. dennis, to power by making that. dennis, this is even worse than this party is even worse than them. that's their strongest selling point. now, i've been in selling point. now, i've been in selling you don't selling all my life. you don't selling all my life. you don't sell your on the back of the other person's product being worse. it on worse. you sell it on its benefits . the tory of no. benefits. the tory party of no. the government's to blame. the government's to blame for where we sit . starmer doesn't offer we sit. starmer doesn't offer anything better . we sit. starmer doesn't offer anything better. this is a anything any better. this is a man who openly he prefers man who openly said he prefers davos westminster. well davos to westminster. well unfortunately, this is where i'm coming dennis. though you coming, dennis. even though you might i'm just working might think i'm just a working class lass doesn't know class lass that doesn't know what's going on, we pay 650 employees us. and employees to represent us. and you want us pay for another 750 that told out to vote in the european union. we do not need second layer of government to run country. we go on, dennis. i'll let you respond to that. it's an experience we can do without. it's going to quantitative going, dennis. but if you look at you and a house

in central pay, you go to a ski chalet in austria. i wish i did . i mean, you're very close to working class. how rich you are. good luck to you. i love ski. invite me. i can take a free ski houday invite me. i can take a free ski holiday any time want. now the, plain fact is, this is a point we are talking slightly across purposes. so we is being brilliantly chairman . but the brilliantly chairman. but the country needs some new leadership where it comes from. i agree you that sir keir starmer is walking in sheer terror of red wall votes of press, and so he is tried to pletely down any discussion of brexit. but you've got 25% of our small and medium enterprises who are closed down because they can't anything to europe you've got a whole swathe of agriculture. you can't in the necessary workers to dig leaks out of freezing lincolnshire fields in this weather. sorry

you would i won't do it? the sturdy white englishman and woman won't do it. we've relied, whether it's in care homes , whether it's in care homes, hospitals. i'm sorry. the irish built our roads. irish old irish family background, polish background. i mean, the notion of britain never has any immigrants in. its midst is just a complete and utter mis look at the cabinet . this stuff full of the cabinet. this stuff full of people whose parents came here you don't wanted to repatriate suella braverman now probably wants to send back across the channel. i welcome the fact we've got the most multi government in country tv presenters the law. we should be proud that they're always ranting about borders. well, thank thank you both for that very good natured, robust fact filled debate . i appreciate your filled debate. i appreciate your time so much this morning. filled debate. i appreciate your time so much this morning . jus time so much this morning. jus later on, dennis mcshane proving that brexit is still , isn't it, that brexit is still, isn't it, even to this day , years on since

even to this day, years on since we left the eu, i mean, it left dinner tables, family debates , dinner tables, family debates, didn't it, to be replaced by covid and lockdowns. but i think it's back on the table today. now, what are the people in? it's in kent who voted resoundingly favour of leaving the eu in 2016. think what else? south east england reporter addison find out addison went there to. find out it doesn't get much more brexit than than it in the 2016 referendum, the 64% of residents voted to leave the european union. now, three years after our official departure , do they our official departure, do they feel there's still to celebrate or has it left a bad taste in the mouth? i went down to the odd social and snooker pub in ramsgate to find out, odd social and snooker pub in ramsgate to find out , look, if ramsgate to find out, look, if you're a business man , an you're a business man, an entrepreneur, you have been your whole life. do you feel like you're better off because of the opportunities of brexit? no. either way , really, i was for it either way, really, i was for it because felt that we was the

mind, you know. because felt that we was the mind, you know . everything because felt that we was the mind, you know. everything was becoming too centralised in europe. i just more comfortable that we got control of our own country . the economy has gone country. the economy has gone down. we have the oven ready system that was going to just walk into america contracts everywhere. it's going to be fine. none of it works so how can we possibly think it's a goodidea can we possibly think it's a good idea ? so just before we good idea? so just before we formally left , just under 1900 formally left, just under 1900 migrants crossed the channel and last year, just 46,000 migrants crossed the channel so do you feel that that's a success? are we controlling borders? i think it is terrible that we've got that many people . there's that many people. there's various reasons why they want to come here from the fact they most probably speak to english the fact that they will come here for the benefit. so that's why people voted to brexit. they said, oh, at last, we'll send them. and they were lied to. so not as enthusiastic as one might expect . but what about south

expect. but what about south thanet mp craig mckinlay? he told me he believes the government can turn things around . we still have a 70 plus around. we still have a 70 plus majority in the house of commons , we still control the floor of the house of commons. , we still control the floor of the house of commons . we are the house of commons. we are putting through light in my view, but we where we are again, the retained eu law bill, which will be the foundation law by which we can actually unwind some of eu law which has has primacy in the uk replace it if necessary, keep it if you want to, but it will be our law . we to, but it will be our law. we need to show people that brexit is being . but i'm one of those is being. but i'm one of those that will say yes, we've been far too timid. so yes, this isn't complete, it is hardly even started yet. while the full effects brexit remain unclear and eu laws are still on our statute books, the people of thanet may not feel like this anniversary . still, there's anniversary. still, there's always year . so we have

anniversary. still, there's always year. so we have a twitter poll running morning and i want to know whether you would still leave the eu at the moment, 77% of you would vote to leave. you've getting in touch also on, email gbviews@gbnews.uk . carol says, i would never vote to rejoin because not only is it an unelected state, unelected, unaccountable regime , they are unaccountable regime, they are definitely on a slippery slope with all the fraud accusations. icannot with all the fraud accusations. i cannot for the life of me understand why countries would still to join it. john in still want to join it. john in said, of course i would still vote for brexit. we've left the bullying corrupt, undemocratic and eu.i bullying corrupt, undemocratic and eu . i just and unaccountable eu. i just wish that the advantage of brexit materialised. the government betrayed us and government has betrayed us and cliff has said, i do not believe that brexit has really happened yet . the remainers need give it yet. the remainers need give it a chance before writing it off. okay. thanks, kate . messages okay. thanks, kate. messages coming is a it's a historic time to reflect on what has and has not happened since we left the eu. now coming up, new powers to kerb strike have been approved

by mps. but when will it actually make difference? my panellists will be back to debate that, including stephanie boyce, course a lawyer boyce, who is of course a lawyer and understands great and understands this in great detail this short detail just after this short break .

break right. me and my panellists having a little chat here. a top lawyer, stephanie boyce, and political editor of the daily express , sam lister. right. express, sam lister. right. let's come to you, steph. new powers to kerb strike action have been approved employees. very controversial . all this in very controversial. all this in terms of whether the workers should be allowed to strike not. what happened and is it the right thing sort of happened, do you think so? this is in regards to minimum service levels to the minimum service levels bill passed committee bill which passed committee stage last september by i think it was 315 votes to 246, which

will give the government the discretion if you would like, the secretary of state , to the secretary of state, to impose minimum service levels for certain parts of the strike in sectors. and i think in this particular regard, it's going to be aimed at the likes of rail workers and emergency services and will include services and so forth. so but what i think the most concerning parts of this piece of legislation and let me clear unless somebody corrects me there is no current right to in uk what is embedded in uk law is that unions must organise themselves according to conditions set out in the trade and labour relations council act of 1990. do not pay . i know so. of 1990. do not pay. i know so. so going back to what this piece of legislation is seeking to do is that during strike action and the concern is that actually if the concern is that actually if the government is laying down legislation, are we looking at

this strike action actually coming to an end any time? yeah. but what their proposal does is impose minimum service levels for those sectors that i mentioned. but and do with the automatic protection one is afforded. but on that unfair dismissal, if you've been for two years or more, that your employer has followed due process. so those automatic rights that one enjoys at the moment is going to be possibly done away with the caveat on this bill is that it's subject to scrutiny in the house of lords and it's got a number of stages that it has to go through. but of course labour criticised the government for trying to rush this piece of through so that it will be properly scrutinised by parliament. and of course we've seen this before with this government around the bill of rights . so the public need to be rights. so the public need to be aware of the legislation that's being proposed and in my mind that again, just like the bill of rights this is a lurch

backwards for british and for employment rights . yes, we are employment rights. yes, we are possibly most of us agreed that you it is absolutely disruptive to the strikes that we are seeing this and it's inconvenient . yes, but there are inconvenient. yes, but there are parts this legislation that is concern. in what way ? so do you concern. in what way? so do you mean this is in terms of we live in a western democracy. we must have the rights to strike and cause disruption . you take that cause disruption. you take that away from workers . and what are away from workers. and what are we what is our culture? how do you describe where we live? well, i think what's of interest , absolutely. what's of interest is that this is as i say, this is that this is as i say, this is the first time that we have seen this government imposing , seen this government imposing, certain conditions taking away, eroding those rights and the democracy, the of democracy that pride ourselves on in this country that are slowly being eroded . and, of course, the eroded. and, of course, the pubuc eroded. and, of course, the public that's one of the things that i have long spoken about, campaigned about, is the fact that legal rights mean

absolutely nothing . if you don't absolutely nothing. if you don't know what those rights are and you know when they're you don't even know when they're being here we being taken away. and here we have of have another piece of legislation erosion legislation that's erosion powers. it's funny, though, isn't it? we're going be isn't it? so we're going to be votes one but i think votes one story. but i think when it comes to strikes. most of us can kind of see both sides of us can kind of see both sides of argument a way. it's of the argument in a way. it's not of these issues where not one of these issues where really fires in your belly. i think most of us go out. i can see it from the employer's point of view, but i can also see from the workers point of view. and do think we've got it about do you think we've got it about right? these more kind right? we need these more kind of sort of akoni and really of the sort of akoni and really these of the legislations these some of the legislations take the powers the take away the powers of the individual against the corporate. stephanie, corporate. well, stephanie, given the brilliant legal analysis the analysis of it, but on the political side it, i mean, political side of it, i mean, the political reality is there are, you know, this strike contagion this country . every contagion in this country. every single be tremendous single union seems be tremendous for strikes . and obviously, the for strikes. and obviously, the government to be seen to be doing something . and so this is doing something. and so this is there we are doing something now what this will not impact the

current wave of strikes. it's going to take quite to get through parliament. so not going to stop the rail strikes in the next few months. it's not going to stop teacher strikes in the next it will be more next few months. it will be more long it long term. now, getting it through the house of lords is going to be difficult because there's to opposition there's going to be opposition there. on the kind of there. but just on the kind of political jacob political side of it, jacob rees—mogg, former business rees—mogg, the former business secretary. now this brought secretary. now this is brought by grant the business by grant shapps, the business secretary his predecessor, jacob rees—mogg , is saying these laws rees—mogg, is saying these laws are vague now, but they are too vague now, but they don't go far enough. well it's not even that they don't go far enough. saying. actually enough. he's saying. actually ministers the powers ministers have got the powers under amend under they still kind of amend them down the line. yeah without scrutiny. you've even got scrutiny. so you've even got conservatives. agreed conservatives. he said he agreed with yesterday . with angela rayner yesterday. the chamber. mean quite, quite the chamber. i mean quite, quite a when you've jacob a moment when you've got jacob rees—mogg announcing raising concerns the state concerns about the state legislation it's been it's been kind of rushed in to deal with the kind of public perception about the government's handling of these strikes whether it actually can make difference actually can make a difference is question it's also it's not

really if the perception of the conservatives with rishi sunak at the helm is that they are detached from real people that they aren't really they're not supporting businesses with tax support, but they're also not supporting the working person. it's not really vote winner, is it to we're going to take away your powers . i, i can't i don't your powers. i, i can't i don't know who that this is meant to appeal.i know who that this is meant to appeal. i think it's to show that rishi seem like he's being tough on striking workers who are in inconveniencing people on he's banking on the fact that people are angry about the rail strikes angry the teaching, but they're not the angry because everyone's working from home. i know. i know. it's disruptive. yeah, but what i can say about strikes, we're failing it strikes, we're not failing it it's not really inspiring anger not in the same way that say illegal channel crossings are inspiring or eco inspiring anger. yeah or eco protesters . yes. vote yes or you protesters. yes. vote yes or you mum not getting treated on the nhs . those what those are nhs. those are what those are the issues need be much the issues. we need to be much more yeah and yet on more muscular. yeah and yet on this he to be you know, this he seems to be you know, and also waving his ego around

nurses get caught up in this actually that the overwhelming majority of the public are sympathetic nurses the sympathetic nurses and the alliance to labour this is a you know kind of suck the nurses bill so yeah just look at what the conservatives doing the conservatives are doing they are down working are coming down on the working man thanks, guys. man anyway. right. thanks, guys. now in just a moment. the now coming in just a moment. the country marks three years today since from is since the exit from eu. what is the mood voters across the the mood of voters across the country? you your country? would you change your choice given choice if you were given a second chance? we're going to be looking that little bit looking that in a little bit more detail after your morning news. tamsin bower. thank you. good morning . from the gb good morning. from the gb newsroom at 1131, the prime minister praised what he's called britain's huge strides in taking advantage of the opportunities opened up by brexit. rishi sunak made the statement the third anniversary of the uk withdrawing from the eu , adding the country has eu, adding the country has confidently a new path as an independent nation. that's despite a recent poll suggesting that 45% of britons say is going

worse than expected . key thing worse than expected. key thing is what we're doing is adding to where britain would have been if we'd been in the eu because we're making them better than we would have been trapped in that single market. and i think the real issue there is when we will be negotiating. we were positive 27, 27 different voices 27, there's 27 different voices at were part of at the table. we were part of that. we're able really that. now we're able really emphasise what uk best emphasise on what the uk best opens indonesia chile and opens up. indonesia chile and big deals all around the pacific rim with those fastest growing economies in the world. that's where britain needs to be positioned. the fastest growing economies the world in the economies of the world in the longer stuck with the longer term not stuck with the union. meanwhile the uk economy is expected to perform worse than all other advanced economies this year as the cost of living crisis continues to hit households, the international monetary fund has warned the uk's will shrink by nought point % in 2023, rather nought point% in 2023, rather than gross slightly, as it had previously predicted . it says

number of other well—known faces have become kate's campaign champion , a very special it's a champion, a very special it's a cause. the princess has championed for years. it sounds it all stems back from her work on mental health addiction and others societal problems. the princess saw how early childhood experiences can have a huge impact on mental health later in life . but awareness can only go life. but awareness can only go far. the cost of living continues to bite, and the recent report from early years charity kindred's to suggests nearly half of all children are not developed mentally ready for primary schools , meaning some primary schools, meaning some unable feed themselves used the or communicates properly. in response, the department for education says they are investing millions in early years recovery following the pandemic . constitutionally pandemic. constitutionally princess of wales cannot intervene in policy, but the pubuc intervene in policy, but the public of what's widely seen as a problem is something she do. come on, you can do it. it's

thought will be years before we know if princess katherine's campaign has had any effect on children's futures . it appears children's futures. it appears kate's in this for the long haul and perhaps will form part of her legacy . cameron walker her legacy. cameron walker giving . she was just born to be giving. she was just born to be queen, wasn't she? she's amazing. to be a queen now, stephanie is still with me on political of daily express. some list are here right this story. i just love this. it's sort of mental and bonkers but it kind of you can see where come from. right. henry the eighth dodges the axe school vows to keep his name . local councillor got name. local councillor got conflicted about a school being henry the eight. this is in abergavenny south wales because henry the eighth. it wasn't a terribly nice character and i can't believe they even had this debate as to whether they should change the schools name because henry the eighth wasn't a suitable candidate to still carry his name for this school. go on. well, these are so silly.

these only. i mean, there are some serious issues around this subject , but i some serious issues around this subject, but i think this one of the people spoken . a poll found the people spoken. a poll found more than 4000 people thought it daft to get rid of the a compared just 405. and so the had to concede defeat . i mean had to concede defeat. i mean look the fact that they to the police they asked a lady asked and the people have spoken but i think actually it is quite i think actually it is quite i think it's quite funny that they particularly chosen henry the eighth because the national trust earlier this week they said actually henry the eighth, he was disabled, he was a disabled kagen . you could have disabled kagen. you could have had him as a symbol of diversity, inclusion , rather diversity, inclusion, rather than a kind of, you know , you than a kind of, you know, you could argue argue it both ways, really , couldn't you? so anyway, really, couldn't you? so anyway, there's champion of domestic there's a champion of domestic violence. what had . i violence. that's what we had. i mean, literally beheaded his mean, he literally beheaded his wife. stephanie, what what wife. but stephanie, what what do well, absolutely. do you think? well, absolutely. and got the local and that's what's got the local councillor exercise is the councillor so exercise is the fact that he was a killing king who entrenched inequality. i

think on the serious side on the serious side of this is , as some serious side of this is, as some have said, the quarrels we don't often get . yes, but discussion often get. yes, but discussion to the public. but they were also they made that determination and that the name should be kept. but from my perspective , there is something perspective, there is something a bit more concerning and that is about elimination , replacing is about elimination, replacing parts of our history that may cause offence we at times have a complicated , oppressive history, complicated, oppressive history, but but if we erase those parts. we the risk of forgetting . and we the risk of forgetting. and if we run the risk for future generations, the getting parts of our history we've run the risk of those oppressive , risk of those oppressive, complicated parts of our history happening again. yes. because we're at pushing, aren't we? we're airbrushing out history. my concern is and actually when you walk along with the walking on with the kids and you see statue and they might oh what's that. they don't always looking at but you if i can at their phone but you if i can persuade come and read

persuade them to come and read plaque statue, might plaque on the statue, it might actually debate about. actually inspire a debate about. what that person did well and what they why so many of what they did. why so many of the all men, you know, the statues, all men, you know, throughout there throughout history. and there was recently . i was that example recently. i don't what i think don't know what i think about this. street in this. this was the street in tottenham that was called black boy lay and that's had its name now they've they've kept it. i think it's called a la rose lane or something. they've kept but they've kept both. what do we think about that? is that the kind thing could be should kind thing that could be should be changed? do you think so. well, i you know, if well, i think, you know, if something offensive, then something is offensive, then fine. have a discussion fine. i think have a discussion around i think probably fine. i think have a discussion arthei i think probably fine. i think have a discussion arthe way i think probably fine. i think have a discussion arthe way to i think probably fine. i think have a discussion arthe way to i tiask probably fine. i think have a discussion arthe way to i tiask people .y is the way to go. ask people what they think and if people who live, they want to change, then so this then maybe. so this is in haringey. was called black haringey. it was called black lane. 15 postcode and lane. it's in 15 postcode and they it to lane. now they changed it to la lane. now we're looking at an image. if you're listening on the radio and somebody come along and what you're listening on the radio and callebody come along and what you're listening on the radio and call it,)dy come along and what you're listening on the radio and call it, spray me along and what you're listening on the radio and call it, spray canalong and what you're listening on the radio and call it, spray can outg and what you're listening on the radio and call it, spray can out la|nd what you call it, spray can out la rose what? what do make rose say what? what do you make of stephanie there's a lot of that? stephanie there's a lot contained. symbol right contained. that symbol right there, well, there, isn't there? well, absolutely suggests absolutely that suggests it's very impressive

very it's very an impressive topic and possibly that there was no discussion before this decision was taken. there is a particular programme that i stumbled across other day when there was nothing much more on tv to watch . there's always tv to watch. there's always something on gb news. how you anyway ? and it was it a banner anyway? and it was it a banner that said something along the lines that you know this programme does not meet today's current social or political and may cause offence on that particular channel and it'll or something like that. so i must admit there some parts of the comedy that you think wow, but know it's a difficult is that because you know you can understand both sides. yeah one of the most chilling things i think the sort of statement my children say to me is when say, but people can't say that mummy, this idea of verbal hygiene if you say something and even at the best of intentions say but you can't say that any more and

yes of course there is a there of course there is a need to evolve language to reflect our reality, be offensive to reality, to not be offensive to , and you know, not cause deliberate offence. we were always self—censoring and good that we've moved on in a way, but i don't like the idea that the things can't say. so the things you can't say. so nobody's funny because nobody's it's funny because actually if i reflect back on my teenage years, i used say teenage years, i used to say exactly the thing to. my exactly the same thing to. my parents this just is parents and perhaps this just is what generation has what happens each generation has its line and they its own kind of line and they always kind rail against always kind of rail against their on these things. their parents on these things. yeah i wish remember the yeah i wish i remember the comedies from seventies and saying parents, oh, we got saying to my parents, oh, we got so or whatever . but so or sexist or whatever. but actually now young people are saying you you can't watch friends. and i'm like, how can you not watch friends? it's so blunt. how it be offensive? blunt. how can it be offensive? but obviously each generation has its own line perhaps has its own line and perhaps that a kind of natural that just is a kind of natural thing. yeah, but you know generally, we need to generally, i think we need to protect speech. always protect free speech. i've always believed know. believed that. so you know. okay, different. different here. now, a slimming declared now, this is a slimming declared a poison after 33 deaths. this

is toxic chemical marxism weight loss aid which was known to have killed 33 people, has been added a list of regulated poisons after a campaign by victims families. tell us about about this. stephanie, you do we need more regulation around these sorts of drugs . well, i mean, sorts of drugs. well, i mean, firstly , this is a drug that was firstly, this is a drug that was quite popular in, the thirties, because sped up the metabolism , because sped up the metabolism, much so that it enabled lost ways. subsequently, it on i believe a banned but it seemed to have fallen off as we've tidied up our legislation over the years it fell off a register list but this is a drug that's been brought over the internet has, as you say, led to number of tests. firstly the public has to understand , need to to understand, need to understand the buying unregulated drugs on the internet poses a risk you do not know what you're buying . it is know what you're buying. it is not regulated . it could take not regulated. it could take anything . and this particular anything. and this particular drug is so dangerous that

actually the securities minister tom took it to heart is now involved because it has been used in pesticide since it's been used. i think i think there's some mention it's a poison that has fallen off the register . so people need to register. so people need to understand that buying drugs online, whatever drug is, whatever it's advertised to be, comes a risk. if it's not regulated well, does not come with medical advice. so it's did a trough know some classified as like you said that no main classified as an explosive. but it's been sold online and pills is a fat burner. it's been sold online and pills is a fat burner . and this is the is a fat burner. and this is the problem isn't it? we've got younger particularly the fatalities bethany ships. they died in 2017 aged 21 young women particularly who are susceptible to these sorts of quick fix slimming drugs. yeah. and i think ultimately stephanie says, you know, just don't buying drugs off the internet, it's not. but how you get that message over to young teenage who are looking for quick fixes on these things, who are easily

, you know, easily swayed online by, you know, all kind of nefarious groups. i think that's the difficult thing really . you the difficult thing really. you can't ban everything. you can't stop all these things popping up . there's always going to be something to replace it. but what you need to do is tell teenage girls just, this is dangerous, don't do it. i'm here's one thing i'm going to say, which is which is talking the country up. what rishi sunak yesterday . i the country up. what rishi sunak yesterday. i also the country up. what rishi sunak yesterday . i also keep getting yesterday. i also keep getting people the show say people messaging the show say stop sunak what do stop saying sunak sunak what do you say? so i say sunak you say even though you think may? yeah, i think actually possibly is. so oh, thank you. well, i'm right. i'll i'll stand by to the female in show telling me i'm wrong. i'm no and one of the things you said you say is making a pharmacy's prescribing pharmacies because the risk is when people can't see the gp's that go online to self diagnose and actually need pharmacists to be prescribe more. be able to prescribe more. right. a story i right. this is a story that i think incredibly and utterly think incredibly sad and utterly inevitable given the pandemic effects live music at grassroots

venues pre—pandemic venues still below pre—pandemic levels . this venues still below pre—pandemic levels. this is venues still below pre—pandemic levels . this is the venues still below pre—pandemic levels. this is the idea that they're going to be fewer music venues available in the future, full on next generation to enjoy . i think this is so sad, don't you, stephanie? absolutely. this is very sad. and of course, it's going to have a knock on effect as you know, art, you the growth in artistic culture and i think the difficulty is, is that , you the difficulty is, is that, you know, we're in a cost of living crisis. we're still recovering the aftermath of the of covid 19 lingers. we are now in a cost of living crisis people different priorities and unfortunately this is one of those the consequences of those of the cost of living crisis and those changing priorities . most life changing priorities. most life music events make a loss but isn't just dancing in a room with lots of people that is i worry about where we're going because our generation knew was a good time. i worry about the next generation sat in their room with , their metaverse

room with, their metaverse headset on, dancing on their own. and i like it. i completely agree. i think there's two issues to this. i think one obviously cost living and obviously is cost of living and tickets are expensive. the actual whatever, it's all over expensive. but actually, i do think there is a generational thing and i think actually people age older are still going to concerts, gigs, whatever it's the younger people who aren't because won't because they don't have the money to because they just culturally do not have the kind of that they've grown up . kind of that they've grown up. if you're 15 at the start of the pandemic and you know, now you're 18, you've never been in a jump, you've never been in a and yeah, you've never done any underage when none of us did that. but yeah, going gigs that. but yeah, going to gigs is, starting off in is, you know, starting off in small , your mates in a band small bars, your mates in a band in the local and then that gets you into of going to see you into kind of going to see the bigger yeah. and the bigger gigs. yeah. and they've the kind of they've not have the kind of cultural need cultural experience we need to go live right up go support live music right up and ask you today's show and ask you on today's show about brexit if you could vote now would you still leave? well 6000 of voted in our twitter 6000 of you voted in our twitter poll you would still
