highest in its 115 year history . the energy giant's profits hit 32.2 billion in 2022. is this simply shameless profiteering or should we be taking a little more of a nuanced look? the opposition even more windfall taxes . but are they right to taxes. but are they right to call for those? is it moral for energy companies to make large profits a cost of living ? let me profits a cost of living? let me know what you think then . the know what you think then. the beano magazine believe it or not, has come under fire, supposedly promoting junk food . supposedly promoting junk food. health campaigners are calling on the company to stop promoting fast food as cool . but with four fast food as cool. but with four in ten children being overweight or obese when they leave primary school, should we be doing more to safeguard our children's weight? and later on, both johnson and liz truss are calling for the government to reduce the tax to trigger economic growth . piling even economic growth. piling even more pressure on rishi sunak with two former prime ministers now calling for tax cuts, is now the time for the prime minister to for those cuts to come

to push for those cuts to come in spring time? that's what in the spring time? that's what we're talking about we're going to be talking about for hour. as always, for the next hour. as always, love to know your thoughts on all topics. tweet all of today's topics. tweet me at gb news you can email me at gb news or you can email me on gb views gbnews.uk. you on gb views at gbnews.uk. you can also watch us online, of course on youtube. thanks very much. tuned . right i think much. stay tuned. right i think it's pretty clear our asylum is broken. any which way you look at it, whether the thousands of cases in the home office backlog, the fact that you can illegally enter britain and the chances of being deported are pretty much slim . none. th e £6.8 pretty much slim. none. the £6.8 million we're paying every single day on hotel accommodation , the reality that accommodation, the reality that full grown men could be able to pose as children to take residency in this country and in very sad cases go on to commit heinous crimes. the ability of judges to put the kibosh on any government attempt at deterrence, not least the rwanda

flight, which the last time i checked, still very much stuck on tarmac. to me, it's clear as day that the government is failing. get to grips with a situation that is becoming more absurd by the day . but what is absurd by the day. but what is the answer? the prime minister has said he to automatically bar who arrive in britain illegally from claiming asylum with crossing the channel almost on a daily. should deportation be automatic if you enter country in a dinghy. should we remove the right to appeal or would that undermine the rule of law that undermine the rule of law thatis that undermine the rule of law that is essential to our democracy? so i'm asking throughout the show, should it be easier to deport channel migrants? let me know what. you think we'll be debating that at o'clock. stay tuned . before o'clock. stay tuned. before earlier this week show reported it's profits in 115 years. it's also been revealed in the telegraph that energy companies have been hoarding your money 9

billion of customers money this winter that's more than four times the sum calculated . the times the sum calculated. the government is under increasing pressure to rethink its windfall tax on companies after shell reported one of the largest profits in uk corporate history in hundred and 15 years. so energy companies shamelessly profiteer at a time when many people are finding pretty hard to make ends meet or we be taking a bit more of a nuanced look at this . i'm asking, is it look at this. i'm asking, is it moral for energy companies to make large profits during the cost of living crisis? joining me now debate this is the conservative for senate sal with craig mckinlay. thank you very much , craig. and trade unionist much, craig. and trade unionist and broadcaster mr. paul . so and broadcaster mr. paul. so craig may i start with you? it looks like we have a windfall levy on oil and gas companies that's taken the overall tax rate from 65% to 75% on producers. it oil and gas in

this country. is this a conservative government should be doing? no, it's not. and that's why i railed against when it was even proposed at 65, a little over 75. we have an energy crisis in this country. we are relying on foreign sources of energy. you know , sources of energy. you know, obviously, most of it created because of the putin war in ukraine. but what is the sense in buying lng from qatar and enriching the treasury of qatar rather than having more domestically with a that brings a jobs investment, domestically with a that brings a jobs investment , the tax and a jobs investment, the tax and everything else in balance payments, savings . and yet we payments, savings. and yet we seem determined under the guise of net zero to import gas and oil from abroad and yet tax domestic supplies to death. now domestic supplies to death. now do realise that big headline rate , £32 billion profit but rate, £32 billion profit but shell unpalatable to many . shell unpalatable to many. that's the reality of capital is more we're going to enter a sort of policy where tell companies what they should or shouldn't

earn. now i just had a quick look this afternoon at the profits of some supermarkets, tesco over 2 billion last year, sainsbury's 730 million as do a little over a billion. and then we sort of that to apple apple phones that we all know and love profits of over $20 billion. now all we saying that these fundamental products particularly in and food we eat should we be telling them well you shouldn't really earning a profit guys it's really not fair or is that is that what capitalism is all about? now, we don't shed any tears for those oil and gas companies who actually lost tens of billions dunng actually lost tens of billions during the covid period . they during the covid period. they just happened to be having a pretty good today. i mean, copper manufacturers, the price . copper has doubled since april 2020 and copper a fundamental in in linking all that renewable energy the solar the wind power and all rest of it double the price . you know, a market is , a price. you know, a market is, a market. we either have a market dnven

market. we either have a market driven economy or we don't. but on that question, with 75% right now, i think it's absolutely because it is being shown already to be deterring investment in the type of stuff that we need a lot more of in the uk. yes, we've seen that total energy for example, has said that they're going be cutting their investment in this country by 25. now, forgive me for thinking rishi sunak and also jeremy hunt know full well that if you tax industries till the pipsqueak essentially that investment will drop . why are investment will drop. why are they doing this is it just populist? well, i think there's a bit of that going on, emily. yes everybody, you know, obviously on the opposition benches saying, oh it's all too, too much profit, we'll tax really heavily . so there's a bit really heavily. so there's a bit of politics involved. but in terms of i think what the treasury is, they're to enjoy what i call a bit of a sugar rush getting a massive of tax today trying to , you know, today trying to, you know, repair public finances are in a

diabolical state. but my view is you're actually going to end up with a deferred tax loss into the future as those profits just will arise in year. three for five to ten to 15 to 20 as these big companies just decide, well, we might as well invest in brazil in an export the products back to the uk. what is the point but that big back to the uk. what is the point but yet that bi g £32 point but yet that big £32 billion of profit for shell i mean i don't know hold a candle or fly a flag for show at all, but only 5% of those were actually derived the uk most actually derived in the uk most of that to 95% was derived abroad and will be taxed according to the tax rates in the countries where those profits were raised. so yeah, big headline figure, big headune big headline figure, big headline loss a few years ago. other just a have got a otherjust a have got a fiduciary duty the directors have to actually maximise profits . i have to actually maximise profits. i mean have to actually maximise profits . i mean you know let's profits. i mean you know let's let's put it in very simple terms . i let's put it in very simple terms. i spent let's put it in very simple terms . i spent you've sold a car terms. i spent you've sold a car in the past so have i spent. you've sold things on ebay. so

have l you've sold things on ebay. so have i. we don't sort of think, oh, well, we'll sell a little oh, well, we'll sell it a little bit cheaper because that would be . you it for be nice. no, you sell it for what worth. that's what a what it's worth. that's what a market it's well, market is all about. it's well, the opposition of course, have called profits outrageous. called these profits outrageous. they that shell should not they say that shell should not be such profits. be making such bumper profits. while afford their while people can't afford their bills. it to me that the conservatives have already lost argument comes to argument when it comes to windfall on earth. are windfall taxes on earth. are they supposed to forward they supposed to put forward case market economics case for free market economics and for capitalism? if every step of the way they seem to give in to the opposition well, the whole energy market is such a mess you've had the wind farm , the wind energy producers, not a renewable producers have similarly been earning supernormal profits because they're selling their electrons day only of course when the wind blows for rates. so offset by the gas market so they've been earning huge amounts money the contracts that babies entered into with these companies were completely flawed which allowed them to earn sort of money rather than the fixed price we

keep getting told is so cheap , keep getting told is so cheap, so affordable and so nice . so so affordable and so nice. so yeah, there's profits being under all over the place. that is the market and if you start manipulating housing markets, you won't get the investment you want, you won't get the proper of capital in an efficient way. and this is what we'll get yeah we are reaping unfortunately years of energy failure now craig thing i mean i'm sure you've had constituents writing to you about how they feel they're being ripped off by their energy suppliers as the telegraph was telegraph was reporting that energy companies are hoarding . that's the word are hoarding. that's the word that they used hoarding are hoarding. that's the word that they used hoardin g £9 that they used hoarding £9 billion of customers money and increasing the direct debits even for people who are in credit. what can the government do to clamp down on that kind of thing ? does seem like bad thing? does seem like bad business practise, does it not? are we seeing some appalling business practises across the electricity and utility supplies? we had the story this

week of centrica, british gas was breaking into people's homes who actually fit prepaid when people were in arrears that in itself is horrendous stories going on there and yes we've all had these i mean i've faced it myself trying to up my direct debit , but myself trying to up my direct debit, but the direct debit scheme does not allow these companies to do so unless you've been informed . now, what i've been informed. now, what i've done with one of them, what we're trying to play with me, i've simply just cancelled the direct debit and said well, if you're not going to play fair, i'm not going either. and i'm cancelling my direct debit. so that's i've they are that's what i've done. they are not to your direct debit not allowed to your direct debit without full. and if they without your full. and if they do , you've got recourse back to do, you've got recourse back to your bank . do, you've got recourse back to your bank. but yes, i think ofgem, i've got a lot of work to do to make sure some this appalling behaviour that we've seen last few months is seen over the last few months is put a stop to stop now . paul, we put a stop to stop now. paul, we have you back. thank you . thank have you back. thank you. thank you for coming back to us. so would you agree you take a

different view. we've had craig's view there. what do you agree with , ed davey? the leader agree with, ed davey? the leader , the liberal democrats, he accused shell of making these kind of outrageous out of putin's illegal of ukraine. it seems me that he's making the claim there that shell is war profiteering . well i mean, i'm profiteering. well i mean, i'm a great in that if something feels wrong then it probably is and i caught some of what was saying earlier shows profits . caught some of what was saying earlier shows profits . £32 earlier shows profits. £32 billion profits that is made in the last year being the reality of capitalism actually would call it the ugly face of capitalism and i do think and you use the word profiteering and i that's exactly what this is there's a difference between the profit and i have no issue with the profit motive it's all people working hard. companies aren't in profits and naked profits , particularly at a time profits, particularly at a time hardship and want, which is what

of the company i hang on is experiencing at the moment a pull he did he did make the point though that shell was losing money two years ago . losing money two years ago. well, two years ago, two years ago. what we what we now know is that shell at a time when millions of people in country are struggling to, make ends meet and struggling to pay their and bills , in some cases and energy bills, in some cases actually struggling to put food on the table and people being that you've got to show restraint when it comes to your wages. people in, the public sector are being told you can't a decent increase this year. a decent pay increase this year. people private sector people in the private sector experience idea experience the same. the idea that should just sit and that we should just sit back and put hands in the air and put our hands in the air and say, no, no, it's absolutely fine, know these companies can make record time and make these record at a time and companies in this case who are directly providing the products , millions of people are struggling pay for, you know country at the moment emily is experience in the tightest grip on workers wages since

napoleonic times millions of workers are being they have to take the real terms pay cut and i think the idea that anybody in government or elsewhere should just step aside and say, but we aren't going to intervene when it comes to these record profits. i think absolutely profits. i think is absolutely sure . well, i completely sure. well, i completely understand the emotional argument but these oil and gas companies are being taxed now at 75. how much how much more do you want be taxed? there you want them to be taxed? there are unintended consequences you want them to be taxed? there are ur so ended consequences you want them to be taxed? there are urso .nded consequences you want them to be taxed? there are urso . well,:onsequences you want them to be taxed? there are ur so . well, actually, 1ces you want them to be taxed? there are urso . well, actually, i:es doing so. well, actually, i think when you when you look at companies like show and you look closely at the amount of tax they they often have very imaginative shall imaginative accounts and shall we say and they find ways paying as little tax as possible so i have to say i don't quite believe when shell says that they're paying great amounts of tax, but look, even if that. well, hang on. hang on, paul. they made they made i pick they made they made i must pick you that because they made you up on that because they made annual profits of 32.2 billion and they paid 10.5 billion in global taxes . that's a lot of global taxes. that's a lot of tax . well, i mean, global taxes

tax. well, i mean, global taxes is one thing. but in terms of how much they pay here, i think that's questionable. but the real point here, emily, is, is should it be right? first of all, that a company like this should be making billions of pounds profits at a time when people in the country are struggling ? actually, when it struggling? actually, when it comes things like services , comes to things like services, energy and other parts of our infrastructure these things actually, i don't think should be in private hands. i don't think it should be for the something upon which this country relies crucial as energy to be handed over to the private sector and for us, the rest of us, millions of families be at the whim of the question very, very, very quickly, should be publicly . i think that's the publicly. i think that's the very quickly growing understand your argument you're putting forward and it's a perfectly one. is it moral that tesco running over one. is it moral that tesco running ove r £2 billion a year? running over £2 billion a year? surely there must be charging a little bit too much for food? should that be on the sort of

pubuc should that be on the sort of public ownership as well? i mean, easy question . it mean, a very easy question. it isn't easy question to £2 billion, isn't isn't easy question to £2 billion, isn' t £32 billion. and billion, isn't £32 billion. and i don't i don't think there's any evidence necessarily that tesco would benefit to the extent from inflation and profiteering as a result in the way that shell was. so let's let's start first of all craig with the biggest miscreants, then perhaps you'll look closely at the others as well. well, there we go. everything public hands. you very much, both hands. thank you very much, both of you. we have to cut it short. there you very much. that was, of course, conservative for town itself. craig mckinney and trade unionist and broadcaster pull every a that was a good every that was a that was a good debate to think about debate lots to think about plenty come plenty more to come this afternoon after afternoon on real britain after the break. the beano magazine has come under fire for supposedly promoting junk brands. all the critics write. should we be doing more to stop unhealthy foods being marketed to children? we're going to talk talk steve miller that talk to steve miller about that . was presenter of fat . he was the presenter of fat families first, let's have families. but first, let's have a the weather. hello a look at the weather. hello again . we go through the rest of

again. we go through the rest of this weekend and many of us will see spell of as a front see a spell of rain as a front pushes its way south eastwards will also wintry will then also be some wintry showers but for most showers the north. but for most sunday's looking largely sunny at the moment. looking at the bigger we this bigger picture, we have this cold that's its way cold front that's making its way across, and it's this across, the uk, and it's this that's going break spell of that's going to break a spell of rain many parts as it rain to many parts as it gradually pushes its south gradually pushes its way south eastwards rest of eastwards through the rest of the so take closer the weekend. so take a closer look saturday afternoon. yes look at saturday afternoon. yes you a spell of rain you can see a spell of rain across northern of england across northern parts of england and be a little bit and wales. could be a little bit heavy at times, but going to be mostly light as it clears its way southwards overnight. some showers of showers through the end of the day of scotland day across parts of scotland could at times. but could be wintry at times. but these clearing as go these also clearing as we go through then largely through night with then largely clear through the early clear skies through the early hours of sunday morning and under temperatures bit under temperatures taking a bit of fairly widespread of a drop. fairly widespread frost scotland frost across parts of scotland to ireland, to northern ireland, even a touch frost likely across touch of frost likely across southern parts england. we southern parts of england. we start tomorrow, start the day tomorrow, otherwise we do have otherwise then we do have high pressure, firmly control pressure, firmly in control sunday. to have sunday. so we're going to have lots calm settled conditions lots of calm settled conditions and winter sunshine. and plenty of winter sunshine. that a hazy at that sunshine could be a hazy at times of high level

times because of some high level , for it is going to be , but for many it is going to be a winter's day. despite the a fine winter's day. despite the sunshine temperatures sunshine though temperatures down degrees compared to down a few degrees compared to saturday with light saturday and with the light winds, though, should still winds, though, it should still feel pleasant as we winds, though, it should still feethrough pleasant as we winds, though, it should still feethrough the)leasant as we winds, though, it should still feethrough the end;ant as we winds, though, it should still feethrough the end oft as we winds, though, it should still feethrough the end of the we winds, though, it should still feethrough the end of the day go through the end of the day tomorrow, are going see tomorrow, we are going to see the thickening the cloud thickening across parts and northern parts of scotland and northern ireland, few spells of ireland, perhaps few spells of drizzly likely the wind drizzly rain, likely the wind strengthening drizzly rain, likely the wind stre|walesing drizzly rain, likely the wind stre|wales we're going to hold and wales we're going to hold onto and the winds onto clear skies and the winds will stay pretty light as a result as we go into monday morning, we are likely to see a fairly widespread across fairly widespread frost across of in towns of england, wales, even in towns and, temperatures and, cities, temperatures dipping below for dipping a little bit below for some, milder further north some, but milder further north and where we have that and west where we have that thicker as go through thicker cloud as we go through monday itself. then a cold, frosty start for in england and wales and it is going to stay mostly bright, particularly the southeast, thickening clouds southeast, but thickening clouds starting to push into northern parts of england and wales as we go through the afternoon, further changeable weather to come the as we go come across the north as we go through week. but further through this week. but further south, chilly south, staying drier but chilly nights with frost and fog .

welcome back . this is real welcome back. this is real britain on gb news on your tv, onune britain on gb news on your tv, online and on your digital radio. i'm emily carver now the children's beano is under fire. believe it or not, this time promoting junk food. the british journal has raised concerns about references to junk food brands in the comic which is quizzes on the ultimate food mcdonald's and the nando's menu. outrageous the beano denies promoting junk food brands. i am delighted to say i am joined by the former of fat families. absolutely brilliant programme i must say steve miller stay live i love that show very good indeed.i i love that show very good indeed. i like all of those kind of shows about skinny people. also anyway, moving on to the

main reason why your hair is the beano doing by our children and promoting food like this. i well, when i, when i came across story, the first thing i thought of these so—called experts, whoever they are they need to get out more really don't they. listen the beano is great stuff for kids and adults . it provides for kids and adults. it provides factual entertainment and factual entertainment and factual as well great contents and i know i don't think you know every time we see i don't know every time we see i don't know a hot dog on a bit of content on a media platform kind of oh how and why is this is no i don't think so we have to i also want to say i wrote it down that the beano actually selected by veg power to promote healthy fruit and veg children and they do it really well . and the other do it really well. and the other thing, of course, emily, is that what we have to is we cannot

hide children away from everything if you keep hiding kids away from the real world, they're never going to learn. and also, i think what we would find as well is if i say the beano, we're just plugging all healthy fruit and veg. you've got to eat healthy fruit and veg. you'd have the other argument coming back. oh, doing this is going to trigger eating disorders . so this is going to trigger eating disorders. so i this is going to trigger eating disorders . so i say this is going to trigger eating disorders. so i say , i say this is going to trigger eating disorders . so i say , i say the disorders. so i say, i say the beano and i say the beano. those listen, the beano is not response for making us all butter balls. that's what i say , i think that's fair to say. i mean, it is quite remarkable that one of the world's leading medical journals would spend time and resources looking what the beano is advertising to children. it does seem that perhaps they've done everything else they must have done, if that's what they're looking into now. but do you think just in general, it is bad for children to be exposed to too much hfcs

content? that's the government's acronym , high fat. so it's sugar acronym, high fat. so it's sugar 7 acronym, high fat. so it's sugar ? it depends what you mean by too much , it's about telling too much, it's about telling children the truth. it's about the real world with and the fundamental player here is . the fundamental player here is. the parents told the parents what they should be doing. i encourage all parents to do is to nurture children in 18 to 20 living 80, eating well 20% depend on what you fancy. get out and play with the kids. educate the kids. don't be afraid to let children. know that being obese , dangerous. you that being obese, dangerous. you see, when you suggest that sort of thing these days it's kind of push push you shouldn't that because it could trigger eating disorders i say i say cobblers to that to be quite honest as long as it's done constructively , as long as it's done you in the real world by saying you being too fat isn't great. the thing isn't great either. i think it's about getting

yes back this is real britain on gb news a tv online and on your digital radio. i'm emily carver . so there are reports. liz will break her cover tomorrow to call for tax cuts in a sunday news. it comes after boris johnson , it comes after boris johnson, the government to cut taxes in to win the next election . the to win the next election. the interventions will put pressure on rishi sunak and jeremy hunt, who've indicated it's unlikely will be major tax cuts in the next budget. am asking was liz

truss actually on the need for tax cuts? do we owe her a bit of an apology? and should the next budget include these cuts ? budget include these cuts? joining me is my wonderful political research fellow at, the group benjamin lock nine. thanks very much. and former labour adviser and writer scarlett maguire. benjamin i start with you . does liz truss start with you. does liz truss do she do we owe her a bit of an apology? yes and no. i think she's in policy. but in terms of implementation she was never able to do the job, really. she able to do the job, really. she able to do the job, really. she able to actually get those tax through. and you know, in politics, you need to be realistic about what you can achieve. you know, it's one thing to say idealistically, this we believe. that's this is what we believe. that's what to happen. it's what we want to happen. it's another actually it another thing to actually get it through the and when she through the door. and when she announced the budget announced previously the budget the budget, kwasi the mini budget, remember kwasi kwarteng the kwarteng, they didn't roll the pitch. prepare the pitch. they didn't prepare the grounds. just announced grounds. they just announced it out and, know, out of nowhere. and, you know, people on, what are people went, hang on, what are you and the city you doing? and the city panicked. and obviously led panicked. and obviously that led to downfall. and think, to our downfall. and i think, you rishi little bit

you know, rishi is a little bit intelligent the way he goes, intelligent in the way he goes, these i don't these things. but then i don't agree him on policy, but he agree with him on policy, but he can least implement the stuff can at least implement the stuff he's really it's he's doing. so it's really it's quite academic to sort of talk about whether she's right or not because she couldn't achieve it anyway. well, that's the thing. she absolute she did have an absolute shocker, but quite shocker, but it's quite interesting, scarlett? interesting, isn't it, scarlett? you've johnson you've got both boris johnson and liz truss deciding that tax cuts is where they're going to gain popularity. is that gain their popularity. is that fundamentally people fundamentally what people care about? think the about? well, i think i think the problem with people in britain and for decades, is and it has true for decades, is want american taxes and scandinavian public . they really scandinavian public. they really do want decent public services and you can't have decent public services without taxes. that's what pays for them. and so liz truss, i mean she wasn't just slightly incompetent. i mean, she did crush the economy . and she did crush the economy. and there are a lot of people out there. mortgages doubled who will never, ever forgive her or the. the joke about boris is yeah he calls the tax i must point out that the markets did very calm down after rishi sunak

took the helm, and i don't think it's fair to say she crushed the economy . gdp it's fair to say she crushed the economy. gdp didn't go to 2 to 0, did it? i mean, it was a nightmare . and i do remember nightmare. and i do remember being at labour conference as we watched the pounds. i mean, if you were abroad but i mean seriously there was elation in room. no, no, no, no. there was. oh, my god. we're going to take oven oh, my god. we're going to take over. there's going to be nothing left. but actually, seriously, so, so and do seriously, i mean so, so and do think there are other ways to go for growth. right. so i'm not saying we don't go for growth. i just think that it was completely wrong. she hadn't it out. so you about boris johnson is were the tax cuts when is where were the tax cuts when he was prime minister? i mean, why did rishi resign ? one of the why did rishi resign? one of the reasons was boris johnson. he's a spend man, right? he likes saying yes, yes, yes. i mean, and then i mean, he obviously doesn't understand economics because i mean, he wrote this amazing telegraph thing when djokovic won wimbledon , nadal djokovic won wimbledon, nadal and said he won it because he

less tax than nadal. and said he won it because he less tax than nadal . so this is less tax than nadal. so this is what motivates the top that is like, well, this is the point, benjamin isn't it, that boris johnson . well, it's all it's all johnson. well, it's all it's all well and good. him saying now. but he was the man in charge. he could have told rishi sunak to cut taxes. rishi was only chancellor well, he's a diagnostician genius, diagnostician of genius, but a terrible doctor, he's terrible doctor, you know, he's very pointing out what's very good at pointing out what's wrong not office. wrong when he's not in office. but the he's in, i think but the moment he's in, i think we all get it. but i don't think it's fair to say liz truss crushed economy. what crushed the of the economy was two years of lockdown and the huge crippling debt took on to pay for debt that we took on to pay for that. what crashed that. that's really what crashed the think liz the economy and i think when liz truss came that all caught up truss came in that all caught up with and an emergency with her and it an emergency budget which he went from not much so to mini was was not much so to the mini was was not the right to go about it. i see and funded tax cuts. yeah or not on and that's what she did on ever and that's what she did and i do understand that she was always planning to do the tax cuts and then found to her horror that she had to actually put money in in society. people

for the for the fund for people to pay energy. but i mean, by implementation understands the principle of cutting taxes. she didn't know how to actually do that. well i what you have to do is to prepare. well, benjamin, i think that the problem was was that it wasn't unfunded tax cuts she the case would she could make the case would pay she could make the case would pay themselves in the medium pay for themselves in the medium to it the big energy to long term it the big energy package tens of package which was tens of billions on top of all the money that was spent during lockdown. yeah, a huge factor as yeah, that was a huge factor as you spend the same time you can't spend at the same time as cutting tax can't introduce new spending cutting new spending whilst cutting tax you've what do you you've got to pick what do you want taxes or you want to want to cut taxes or you want to spend things you said, spend on things like you said, you people want the public services. and i also the services. and i also want the tax and she was trying to tax cut. and she was trying to give want. you give the people they want. you can't do that. scarlett, can't always do that. scarlett, going to the politics of going back to the politics of all of this do think all right all of this do think bofis all right all of this do think boris johnson stands a hope in hell. mean i'm going to you hell. i mean i'm going to you know, brave and say that i know, be brave and say that i don't is going don't think liz truss is going to anywhere near power again. to be anywhere near power again. but boris? he does but what about boris? he does still have some scarlett, but i

think i think he does have appeal. i think, he particularly has appeal within the tory party . and if you look at who the members of the tory are, of course the most mostly men over 50 living in the south are well—off. these people tax cuts, right? so they but i mean , i right? so they but i mean, i think it was 48 ministers resigned in 24 hours. i mean, they have forgotten. yeah, they they have forgotten. yeah, they they do think he certainly sees himself as coming back and saving the conservative party , saving the conservative party, winning the next election. i think they'd be mad because i think they'd be mad because i think they'd be mad because i think the country has not forgiven. they've moved on perhaps . forgiven. they've moved on perhaps. could he be forgiven. they've moved on perhaps . could he be the knight perhaps. could he be the knight in shining armour ? well, look, in shining armour? well, look, i'm not against him coming back just because, you know, i it wouldn't be a great idea. i don't think he'd win the next election. but would great election. but it would be great just all of those just to see all of those ministers who resigned. you know, face. if know, have egg on their face. if he back and has that he storming back and has that victory, quite funny victory, it would be quite funny to watch. but ultimately. you know, i don't have much confidence as chancellor and

confidence as the chancellor and i to see and i would like to see and i probably a change there is quite interesting because i've interesting it because i've heard and heard you know heard and i've heard you know from whispers that liz from from whispers that liz truss is one of those politicians who simply does not look at social media or comment about her or anything besides what she's told by her advisers . so she is able to actually have the blinkers on i believe. oh yeah. i mean. well it's quite clear that throughout her rather short premiership she had no idea of what was going on of, the sort of people screaming and yelling and, you know, we're talking about a lot of conservatives we're not just talking about people there and actually i'm but the other thing about liz truss is she doesn't listen to people who disagree with no right she sacks them no perhaps we need more leaders this is not a comment liz truss per se, but that's we need more leaders who do ignore noise. you know, they spend so much time on twitter and that means that every controversial every time controversial policy is forward , they end up you is put forward, they end up you turning anyway of you have

is put forward, they end up you turnirsending|y of you have is put forward, they end up you turnirsending in of you have is put forward, they end up you turnirsending in yourf you have is put forward, they end up you turnirsending in your thoughts e is put forward, they end up you turnirsending in your thoughts on been sending in your thoughts on the topics we have been discussing today on whether it's immoral companies to immoral for energy companies to make during a cost make large profits during a cost of crisis. michael of living crisis. michael has written because written in he says no because commodities are volatile and exceptional profit , years commodities are volatile and exceptional profit, years are followed by huge loss . that's followed by huge loss. that's what seen when comes what we've seen when it comes the gas companies. the oil and gas companies. that's what we've when that's what we've seen when came to shell , paul that's what we've seen when came to shell, paul embery gave a very strong for the opposite on that earlier . but on whether that earlier. but on whether channel migrant should be banned from deportation , from appealing deportation, barry should celebrate barry said we should celebrate people wanting to make their lives in britain let's make it easier to here provide more legal routes and allow refugees to carried plane, ferry to be carried by plane, ferry and without passports . and trade without passports. this would end small boat crossings . barrie, this sounds crossings. barrie, this sounds like a of a plea heart liberal very nice indeed stephen says illegal migrants to enter illegally by passing the lawful routes as such they be deported within 24 hours of entering without appeal. well, one of the big problems is, of course, backlog of cases that seen it has promised he will get through

on whether rishi sunak should cut taxes in the next budget. dawn has said 100% or a stop sign in liz truss right on tax cuts. she doesn't tell us why. but dawn has a strong that would back boris and liz over rishi thank you very much indeed for in your views now i've got my political panel still with we're going talking about going to be talking about dominic raab, former dominic raab, the former conservative party chairman. sir jake berry is for him be jake berry is for him to be suspended while an inquiry into bullying allegations against him is taking place . jake told the is taking place. jake told the bbc it be very bizarre. if you had someone in any other workplace who wasn't suspended pending that investigation and pays a minister's are not form of special human being . i think of special human being. i think they should just be treated anyone else is in that . raab, of anyone else is in that. raab, of course denies allegations of bullying, so i'm going to be asking my panel, should he suspended until the end of the inquiry. ben well, no, i think it's what he said about any other workplace, but it's not any other workplace is an

elected member representing people, you know, he's elected by the people. you've got to suspend over an allegation. you need prove first when it's need to prove it first when it's proven fine, proven. proven fine, it's proven. get rid him. he could be he rid of him. but he could be he could be from the ministerial role with no because then anyone could accuse any of anything and get suspended overnight get them suspended overnight because happens in some because it happens in some companies , does not? i it companies, does it not? i it happens less often than you think. look it's a workplace . he think. look it's a workplace. he we've heard the stories of the bullying where he was. i mean a friend of mine who worked the ministry of justice said no i didn't see him do anything. i didn't see him do anything. i did have to clear up the tears after dealt with people. i thought it is absolutely unacceptable for anybody to be they prime minister, ministers, ceo to behave like that and this particular is that somehow because you are a minister, you're special chamber is absolutely right . this you're special chamber is absolutely right. this is a workplace. these people i mean, it might seem to you well, this is government, this is special. but if the servants going in to

work i mean, you know, my friend left because of him in the foreign office, they are so pleased have james cleverly because finally he's just nice to. yeah right. and i just think that in the meantime, you know it's not it happens rarely and the last time it happened was pretty patel and you might remember that actually she found guilty but boris decided not is it is it fair to say that there might be a little bit of politics going on here? obviously, priti patel was controversial and we know from reports that some people within the home office weren't too pleased with . her way of going pleased with. her way of going about things when it came to policy. yeah. could the same be said about raab or is there too many allegations? well, looked like guilty may not like he may guilty may not there's investigation there's an investigation going on. unfil there's an investigation going on. until that's over, on. i think until that's over, he is because he should stay. he is because he's elected representative he's an elected representative of. can't of. the people, you can't just get rid people because made get rid of people because made an you need prove an allegation. you need to prove it first. and do think it's it first. and i do think it's political as well, you know. well, it is politics, you know, if don't agree with someone,

if you don't agree with someone, you're you get you're going to try and you get them of that's them out of office. that's that's basically game that's basically how the game works. some people do it works. and some people do it through polls and ballot through the polls and the ballot box. some people do it box. and some people do it through and through machiavellian. and i think people be doing think some people may be doing that moment. of course, that at the moment. of course, it's writing that he has it's rare writing that he has obviously all the claims against him. it was also reported him. but it was also reported that all three that the heads of all three government departments, ran government departments, he ran warned his treatment government departments, he ran wa officials. his treatment government departments, he ran waofficials. so his treatment government departments, he ran waofficials. so this1is treatment government departments, he ran waofficials. so this1is tibeenent of officials. so this has been going for on long time. this is this has been going on for years we're about somewhere we're talking about somewhere between 22 and 24 allegations. this was well known before . he this was well known before. he was made deputy prime minister boris. you see like most of this happened under boris johnson happened under boris johnson happened before. so this has been going on. but what really gets me is that there's now is people say, oh, it's political . people say, oh, it's political. it really isn't political . it's it really isn't political. it's about behaviour . it really isn't political. it's about behaviour. i mean, nobody complains about gove, right? who is completely i mean there are incredibly right wing people , incredibly right wing people, nobody complains about. it's incredibly right wing people, nobody complains about . it's not nobody complains about. it's not about that, it's actually about

how you treat it and daily mail has started this about, oh, it's left wing civil servants, right? well, they did the same with priti patel is that is they it treats conference educated pretty again oxford educated whoever the permanent secretary was. i mean this this can go on right we've got to allow all people to actually comply . well, people to actually comply. well, one thing i'm not just talking about this case though, ben, but these kind of jobs, being a minister of a department, being deputy prime minister, they are incredibly stressed gigs is a incredibly stressed gigs is a incredibly stressful at point does does does being forthright bullying. well this is the problem you know these are high pressure environments it's you know you're dealing with big decisions every day. there's going to bit of, you know, going to be a bit of, you know, tussling on. and frankly, if can't put up with a little bit of you know roughhousing, there is there's a point where

is a line there's a point where you and you say, no, you draw it and you say, no, that's bullying, that's far. that's bullying, that's too far. but sometimes people, but i think sometimes people, you on the waterworks you know, turn on the waterworks they don't that. they go, i don't like that. i don't like the minister. i want to get rid of him. so i'm to file a complaint and try and get rid of him those means, you rid of him by those means, you know, that side of it as know, there that side of it as well. it's not just it's as simple as if someone cries. that means that did something means that he did something wrong. also other wrong. there is also the other the it which is the other side of it which is that these are pressure that these are high pressure environments to environments and you've got to be up to the job and someone like sir philip ratnam, who put in complaint about priti in the complaint about priti patel, he's a patel, i think frankly he's a grown should pull grown man. he should pull himself a little bit. himself together a little bit. i know the thing about priti patel is a friend mine said she is as a friend mine said she said surely being a bully she probably isn't bully probably isn't a bully because being bully you pick on being a bully means you pick on people. was monster, she people. she was a monster, she shouted he did. shouted everybody right? he did. here she's not here here to defend. she's not here to defend. but. but the ethics adviser said she should go and resign didn't. so an resign when she didn't. so an investigation done into investigation was done into priti and boris stopped priti patel and boris stopped it so what saying is not is not so what i'm saying is not is not new it's about like lots new it it's not about like lots and of people work in

and lots of people work in stressful situations as there are lots and lots of ministers who behave perfectly well who pushed through very very difficult legislation and you don't i mean james cleverly is not some left wing right and yet the whole of the foreign office are just breathing because they've got somebody who knows how to run an open well that may well be that may well be the case. they were very quick question just on the fact that jake has come out to say this doesn't seem to be any loyalty left to the conservative party. was there any in the first place? so he was. from what we've seen over the past , it's we've seen over the past, it's getting bad now. that briefing each other constantly they 90 prime ministers in a year i mean not loyal party but no not the most loyal party but no look i'm i'm concerned about the coach we have in politics now of anyone who you don't like. you just go, well, he's mean, so get rid of him. i think people do need pull themselves together rid of him. i think people do n

we've raab and had pretty we've got raab and we had pretty joe naming these people who joe naming all these people who who flaky civil servants don't like it it just doesn't happen right. it only yeah. i mean jake berry jake berry who is again no bleeding heart liberal. i mean, i didn't think he and i would agree on anything and what he said . it's a workplace people to said. it's a workplace people to work there. i mean, being having been chair of the conservative party, he knows what it's like in hq and he knows you have tv. and frankly, the, the one man, one person that nobody ever complained about working for is bofis complained about working for is boris johnson . and yet you , he boris johnson. and yet you, he lets them have . party he lets lets them have. party he lets them have 40. he said you would like your boss if he let you have a party in house. i think that's we have. well thank you very much indeed. joining us, benjamin lochner and of course, research fellow at the bu group on the right. i think i can say and former labour adviser and writer scarlett mccgwire you very i think that's the

back to. emily yes, welcome to real britain with me, emily carver. here's what's coming up on the second hour of the show . rishi sunak hour of the show. rishi sunak claims new laws will mean arriving in the uk without valid will be deported within days. the prime minister has also reaffirmed his commitment to the rwanda deportation , despite rwanda deportation, despite legal challenges plaguing the project. so should be made easier for the uk to deport migrants who cross the channel illegally . then job coaches illegally. then job coaches could be stationed at gp surgeries under plans to get the unemployed over 50 back to work. ministers. our reporter been considering the proposal as. they strive to plug record gaps in britain's labour force and boost the economy. this be boost the economy. will this be a success or more taxpayers money down? the drain. always demonising the over 50 for staying at home. surely they quit reason. later on quit for a reason. and later on australia has announced that its new $5 will not feature an new $5 bill will not feature an image of king the third. a move that spells the phasing out of the british monarchy on its currency notes . reserve bank

currency notes. reserve bank announced that a new celebrating indigenous culture will replace the previous portrait of the late queen elizabeth, the second. is this the first step towards an republic and? a snub towards an republic and? a snub to the british monarchy ? that's to the british monarchy? that's what we're talking about for the next. i'd love to know your thoughts on today's topics. please do tweet me at gb news or you can email me on gb views at gb news dot course you gb news dot uk. of course you can watch us on youtube too. thank you very much. mike batt critic . so yes, big news today. critic. so yes, big news today. rishi sunak is reportedly looking to ban people arriving in the uk via small boats from appealing deportation. the times reports the home office has drawn a few options to achieve the prime minister's goal either withdrawing the right to appeal automatic exclusion or only allowing appeals to be heard one step rotation has already occurred. another way of fast these proposals could be by leaving the c all that. that's the european of human rights.

and while this has been backed by a number of employees, other others fear this move would violate international law. so should it be made for the uk to deport migrants who cross the channel illegally ? to break this channel illegally? to break this down further, i am joined by former brexit party mep harper. thank you very much for joining and emeritus professor theology john milbank. thank you very much, john. indeed. so what do you think? do you think that rishi sunak's stands hope in hell of doing what says he's going to do? essentially, barring barring a channel migrants from appealing deportation ? so i think what deportation? so i think what suggesting is that will be barred from the right to go through the asylum process and barred also from that restricts them. and i simply can't see how that work because under the european convention of human rights obliged to fundamental things, the right to liberty , things, the right to liberty, the right to family, and the right to a fair trial. so unless

he's prepared to deviate somehow from the european convention of human rights, he's going to that the european court , human rights the european court, human rights is going to come in and overrule any judicial process in the united kingdom. so i think this is another one of the in another one in a long line of british initiatives trying to control this illegal crossing of the channel through a deportation program. you know, we've had a number of runs of this the nationality and borders , which nationality and borders, which is not an act that was meant to solve it. it didn't do it. the rwandan scheme is meant to do it. it didn't do it. and this is yet yet another tilt using the legal system and deportations as a mechanism of exercising border control . and like all the others control. and like all the others before , it in my view, it's before, it in my view, it's going to fail. before, it in my view, it's going to fail . but ben, so what going to fail. but ben, so what is he supposed to do? because we've seen the statistics it's only 21 migrants were deported in the 18 months after brexit was implemented . that seems

was implemented. that seems a crazy low number considering the number of illegal crossings that take place every year. what's the answer? are we not capable changing our law ? well you see, changing our law? well you see, i think the fundamental problem here that we see border control through a deportation policy . through a deportation policy. deportation is actually what you need when border controls failed. and i think what got to recognise is we need a physical, robust response at the point that these people enter our territory three waters. at the moment , force does not act like moment, force does not act like a border force. it is literally acting as a taxi service to ferry these people from french waters into safe harbour , the waters into safe harbour, the united kingdom and that's not what border control and border control can never be delivered through deportation because deportation. let's just understand thing it really clearly and that is that human rights are applied on an

individual by individual basis. you can't reach blanket judgements on human rights . judgements on human rights. every individual coming across the channel has the right under human rights law and i can't see any government in the united kingdom can deviate from it has the right to be heard, has the right to appeal it eventually go to the european court of human rights. so if think they can deal with an influx of 46,000 people a year through a deporting programme and use that as a deterrent to prevent would illegal crossings of the channel they're sadly mistaken. it's never to work. the only way to do it is to use the existing laws are already in place under the un convention of laws of the sea to actually take control of our borders. john, would you agree with ben that is it a certainly is what rishi is proposing not going to happen because of international law ? because of international law? yes, i think he's completely right. it's totally unrealistic . and i think he's right also to

say that. really, we need to control borders that once people are here , they disappear into are here, they disappear into the. they always a right of judicial appeal . it's impossible judicial appeal. it's impossible to control that. but he's also very, very difficult to patrol borders. so now, i think realistic actually we need to cooperate more with france to do . i think there are three stages to this. we need to make it easier for people to stay in their countries through international aid . think we need international aid. think we need to police european borders better and then i think we need to deal with the french crossing but not only do i think we'd be in violation of the european court of human rights think we'd be going against international law and against . justice to law and against. justice to deport people first and then allow them to appeal because , in allow them to appeal because, in effect, to decide the issue already quite from the fact

that, you know who's going to accept them, probably only the country they're fleeing . and the country they're fleeing. and the first five. sorry to interrupt there, john. sorry, john, but many british people are fed up of seeing the reality of people crossing channel and then the prospect of them deported practically slim to none. as i said, there are so few is in the double of people who have actually been deported. what's the answer ? i i completely the answer? i i completely sympathise with the problem, but i think that the answers are extremely difficult and what you must do is make it simple possible to take refugees at all against our very proud history, almost by definition , a refugee almost by definition, a refugee has probably flouted the law along the line. so what need to do is try . if along the line. so what need to do is try. if people are already are either genuine refugees , if

are either genuine refugees, if they're merely economic migrants , then we either have to say, well, we need these people anyway and give them citizenship and regular ice this or indeed send back which will not be cruel if they're actually simply economic migrant . but cruel if they're actually simply economic migrant. but i'm not pretending . all this is easy. pretending. all this is easy. it's not. well, ben, as i said, people are fed up of what they see to be , well, quite activist see to be, well, quite activist lawyers, perhaps , is the answer lawyers, perhaps, is the answer to ourselves from the european court of human rights, as you said, in your in your in first remarks, that is what is stopping things like the rwanda flights from going ahead ? yeah, flights from going ahead? yeah, i mean, it was courts initially that stopped the rule , but that stopped the rule, but people boarding the rwanda flight. and then i think those only one person left on it and that one individual was then , that one individual was then, you know, had the protective blanket you like of the european court of human rights round,

then. court of human rights round, then . but i mean, the issue the then. but i mean, the issue the issue i think that couple of things really. the first thing is that you cannot enforce your borders through deportation policy . we've got to get tougher policy. we've got to get tougher in the channel and if we're going to do a deal with the french that deal has to include british boats patrolling french waters and the right pick up people in french waters and deposit them back in french. short of that , no point paying a short of that, no point paying a penny over to france. then the second thing to take on board and this is a sad reality , the and this is a sad reality, the european convention on human rights , which our politicians rights, which our politicians just completely mask and that is we can't leave it we simply can't leave the european convention of human rights because we are signed up to it by international treaty. we are committed to it under the trade and cooperation that boris johnson signed the eu as part of our trade deal after brexit. and we're committed to it.

our trade deal after brexit. and we're committed to it . the we're committed to it. the belfast good friday agreement, which is which is international peace treaty between , ourselves peace treaty between, ourselves and ireland, which we will not deviate from. i mean that would be absolute hue and cry . we've be absolute hue and cry. we've already got enough problems in northern ireland with the wretched protocol and i just can't see any out for the united kingdom. a founding member, by the way is the european court of human rights. i can't see any way out of it what. we've got to do is start border control that's a physical exercise at the point of entry into british territorial waters . but hang on, territorial waters. but hang on, john certainly thanks , john. john certainly thanks, john. people will be watching this and thinking why on earth can't the uk do things essentially to ameliorate this problem ? have ameliorate this problem? have given tens of millions , pounds given tens of millions, pounds of euros to the french to help patrol the seas. that doesn't seem to be having an impact as we've seen 2019. the numbers have just sky rocketed of people attempting and succeeding to make the crossing. rishi sunak's

saying he wants to ban deportation of ben and yourself has said that's not possible. well is possible, it seems. if the prime minister is saying that he wants to do this, but then he cannot do well. how can he then do it if you get what i mean. he needs to achieve this. he needs to achieve his aim somehow . yes, i think he somehow. yes, i think he shouldn't be making unrealistic promises . and the fact of the promises. and the fact of the matter and i'm sure that agrees with this and this problem is only get worse. the only going to get worse. the world is in total chaos. only going to get worse. the world is in total chaos . so one world is in total chaos. so one thing we've got a of , thing we've got a lot of, including christians fleeing religious persecution and therefore there's a in which no one country i'm aware of very vulnerable as an island surrounded by seas can't deal with this on its own. they require us cooperation with neighbours. so unfortunately brexit has actually made cooperation rather more difficult. you know, it, it produced the more friendly climate. if like. but i think we

need to talk with france having a very humane policy of refugees, talk to them all. you know near the french dealing trying deal with it through franco—british corporate cooperation. the and that's probably the most powerful way to stop them getting on the boats in the first place. thank you very much, indeed for us. your thoughts this afternoon . your thoughts this afternoon. that was of course, brexit party mep have bee friend of the show of course and emeritus professor of course and emeritus professor of theology john milbank . well of theology john milbank. well there you go could perhaps rejoining the eu help us solve the crisis in the channel i'm not sure many of you at home would be would be up for trying that potential solution that solution potential solution anyway plenty more to come this afternoon on, real britain. after the break john coaches could surgery could be stationed at gp surgery so he could go in for to see your and be told to. well get a

job that's to get unemployed 50 back to work but would it work practise or is it just more taxpayers money down the drain? but let's have a look. but first, let's have a look. the weather before that. hello again. as go through the rest of this weekend. to many of us will see of rain as a front see a spell of rain as a front pushes its way southeast is there will then also be some wintry showers north but wintry showers in the north but for sunday's largely sunny for most sunday's largely sunny at looking at the bigger at moment. looking at the bigger picture front picture we have this cold front that's its way across uk that's making its way across uk and this that's going to and that's this that's going to break a spell of rain to many parts as grabs really pushes parts as it grabs really pushes its eastwards through its way south eastwards through the rest of weekend. so the rest of the weekend. so a closer at saturday closer look at saturday afternoon. you can afternoon. yes, you can see a spell rain across. northern spell of rain across. northern parts and wales. it parts of england and wales. it could little heavy at could be a little bit heavy at times, going to be mostly times, but going to be mostly light as it clears its way southwards. some showers through the the across of the end. the day across parts of scotland could wintry at scotland could be wintry at times. are also times. but these are also clearing we through the clearing as. we go through the night largely clear night with then largely clear skies the early hours skies through the early hours of sunday these sunday morning and to these temperatures bit of a temperatures taking a bit of a drop. widespread frost drop. fairly widespread frost across of scotland, across parts of scotland, northern ireland, even touch

northern ireland, even a touch of frost across southern of frost likely across southern parts we start the parts of england. we start the day we day tomorrow, otherwise then we do pressure firmly do have high pressure firmly control so we're control on sunday. so we're going lots of calm, going to have lots of calm, settled conditions plenty settled conditions and, plenty of sunshine of winter sunshine that sunshine could bit hazy at times could be a bit hazy at times because of some high level cloud, but many it is going to be winter's. despite the be a fine winter's. despite the sunshine, temperatures sunshine, though, temperatures a few to few degrees compared to saturday. the saturday. and with the light winds, it should winds, though, it should feel relatively as . we go relatively pleasant as. we go through the end of the day tomorrow are going see the tomorrow we are going see the cloud thickening parts of cloud thickening across parts of scotland ireland. scotland and northern ireland. perhaps drizzly perhaps a few spells of drizzly rain likely. and the strengthening but across strengthening here. but across england we're going england and wales, we're going to the clear and to hold onto the clear skies and the will stay light as a the winds will stay light as a result as. we go into monday morning, we are likely to a fairly widespread frost across much even in much of england, wales, even in towns , dipping towns and cities, dipping a little below freezing for little bit below freezing for some, milder further north some, but milder further north and west where we have that thicker as we go through thicker cloud as we go through monday itself, a cold, monday itself, then a cold, frosty start . many in monday itself, then a cold, frosty start. many in england and wales and it is going to stay mostly bright, particularly towards but towards the southeast, but thickening starting to thickening clouds starting to push parts of england and

push into parts of england and wales as go through the afternoon, changeable afternoon, further changeable weather to across the north weather to come across the north as go through week. but as we go through this week. but further staying drier but further south, staying drier but chilly with frost chilly nights with some frost fog . some days on gb news from fog. some days on gb news from 930, it's camilla tominey eight for a politics show with personality. then at 11, michael portillo for topical discussion , some ethical dilemmas and sometimes even a sense of the ridiculous and at one p me i was there stuart every sunday on gb news the people's channel britain's news .

channel welcome back. this is real britain me emily carver on gb news on your tv, online and digital radio. now this is a bit of bit of a strange one job

coaches could be stationed at gp surgeries in a bid to unemployed over fifties back into the workforce under the plans being drawn up by the government would be able to refer patients who want to work to work to who want to return , to work to coaches to return, to work to coaches holding advice sessions with practical help like , see these practical help like, see these it comes after chancellor jeremy hunt for early retirees to return to work amid plans to hike the retirement age to 68. joining me live in the studio , joining me live in the studio, macroeconomist philip pilkington i believe philip is all the government using people as a bit of a scapegoat here there's been a lot of emphasis jeremy hunt on the fact that older people gave up work during the pandemic. they need to pull their socks up , get back into the office to boost economy. is that fair? yeah think they are kind of scapegoating a bit i mean the amount over fifties that have dropped out of the workforce has increased but it's been decreasing for years and only

really back up to 2012 levels. but i think the underlying problem here is really an ageing and the government sort of desperate to try and figure a way to solve that. but i don't think forcing people back the labour market is going to make much of a difference. so what do you think the answer is then. i mean, so birth rates in this country haven't been at replacement levels since 73. that means that the population 1970, since 1973, that's the last time we had a we had a replacement level birth in britain. so population is not even replacing itself . and we've even replacing itself. and we've been plugging that gap for years with migration. but that doesn't doesn't keep it rolling. so i think the government needs to get serious about figuring i'd always get the birthright of. yes so any time at least to just to replace myself and my part. 2.12.1, 2.1. but cracking home people who haven't had children is it's your duty for the economy of britain to have have more children. so how how could

the government actually encourage people to have children without being horribly authoritarian ? well, you could authoritarian? well, you could set up incentives for it i think younger people there are many reasons that they aren't having children and forming families. it does cost a lot. we all that in the past kind of in in the distant past having was an economic asset you know you'd have children they take care of in your old age they even worked i the 19th century not i mean in the 19th century not advocating a return that but advocating a return to that but today costs to have children. today it costs to have children. it's cost it's a liability it's a cost it's a liability rather than an asset. so to ease the burden on people of the cost of children, i think would help a and some countries a great deal. and some countries have experimenting have been experimenting with this. like hungary and this. places like hungary and poland , setting up incentive poland, setting up incentive structures to help people, form families and they've shown some promise . interesting. so at promise. interesting. so at going back to the gp surgeries so having a job coach , a gp so having a job coach, a gp surgery that a gp can can tell you to see or ask you to see or just advise you that you might want be interested in in such a

prospect. surely that's, that's just a helpful thing . yeah. i just a helpful thing. yeah. i mean i don't see any harm in it, but i mean, do we really think the putting job coaches and gp surgeries , they're going to surgeries, they're going to vastly increase the labour force 7 vastly increase the labour force ? the short term problem here is that the unemployment rate is extremely low right ? the extremely low right? the economic has been for economic cycle has been for a very long time. inflation is very long time. inflation is very high, unemployment slow and we're not even getting much economic growth. usually you have very high unemployment. low unemployment be getting very high growth. high rates of economic growth. we're not getting that. so there are with this . the are problems with this. the problems have to with productivity. people just being as productive as they used to be. many different causes of that i personally think it's the decline of manufacture, getting the rise to serve the on service sector this country because sector in this country because the service sector just sector in this country because the service sectorjust isn't as productive. it doesn't grow as fast in productivity as manufacture shrink. but the slowdown productivity has been there since since the financial crisis 2000 to 2000 on also presumably those over fifties

who have chosen to quit work done so because they've totted up their finances and worked out that they can live for a number of years with the money that they have either accrued or that they're getting their pensions. so as long as these people can support themselves, should it be any business of government to be , you know, sticking their all in and saying we need you back to work? i don't think so . mean to work? i don't think so. mean if someone has earned their retirement, they've earned their retirement. you can't really force people to work. but again just comes back to why take such you know , carrot and the stick. you know, carrot and the stick. this seems like a stick approach on old people where you could take a carrot approach with young people have more young people to have more children . and well, this is the children. and well, this is the problem. i mean, we've been focusing over fifties, but focusing the over fifties, but this hides fact and this rather hides the fact and the government doesn't really want talking about but want us be talking about it. but the there so many the fact that there so many people work of people who aren't in work of a much younger age we people much younger age, we have people of working across the board who are simply not in jobs and

living off . what can be done to living off. what can be done to get those people back to work ? get those people back to work? well, one thing that you could raise that's quite controversial is are too many young people going to college. actually are degrees necessary ? all these all degrees necessary? all these all these pieces of work university education basic universal universal at university but very widespread university education started becoming a thing in the sixties and seventies. right. and back then had a growing labour force. we had an immensely growing labour force. we had high relative high birthrates, high above replacement rates and so on. and so you kind of it made sense for people to take their , whatever, people to take their, whatever, 18 to 21 or 18 to 2022 to take a time to go to college. and, you know , basically not be in the know, basically not be in the labour force because that's what happens when people are in college. this costs a lot of money as well. there are huge costs to economy. i'm not costs to the economy. i'm not saying should saying nobody should go to university. need university. we need we need doctors. obviously, this doctors. obviously, all this kind of thing. but i think there

i think there could be an interesting to say interesting discussion to say the if end up in a job where your university doesn't directly educate you for that job would it be better some sort of an apprenticeship system mean it would it would increase the labour force quite quickly saying you know you're saying that essentially only go to university if got a vocation it might you well and the economy better if you decide to do thank you very much indeed. some controversial, very poignant points you made , i must say. so points you made, i must say. so you're with gb news on tv and dab radio after the break we're going to australia. they've announced that its new $5 bill will not feature image of king charles with us is this the first step towards an australian republic. is it a snub to. but first let's check on the news headunes first let's check on the news headlines we talked about a sanchez. headlines we talked about a sanchez . good afternoon this is sanchez. good afternoon this is the latest from the gb newsroom. the family of missing mother of two. nicola billy has there's no

history of the first australians. while the $5 bill is australia's only to feature a member of the british, king charles is still set to appear on the. he's been demoted only to the coins. but could this move be the first step toward an australian republic ? for this australian republic? for this week's royal hit, i am delighted to say i am joined in the studio by royal broadcaster and ray haydel. man is this a snub to britain . well, not to britain, britain. well, not to britain, because we have remember, the king of australia is entirely independent from the king of the united. the two kings could go to war with each other legally. the australian monarchy has been repatriated and it's evolved into uniquely australian into a uniquely australian institution. is , is institution. what this is, is a deliberate attempt to actually try to erase the visible bonds between the australian monarchy and the australian people . it's and the australian people. it's part actually of a much wider attack on australia's and heritage and on its on its british. and so it comes along its global decolonisation project in terms of getting rid

of the australian flag, making australia into a republic eventually and also the days of australia day day on january 26, 17, h.h. when the, the first arrived as settlers in the first fleet settled there. and much like 1619 project in america which seeks to change the founding date to when the slaves first arrived, is a similar movement here. all of this is being orchestrated by this new labour government, which, as drenched ideology as our drenched in woke ideology as our own labor party is not as quite as bad as justin trudeau likes to say. is his liberal party of canada. but actually on that point it's just a great for the monarchy. i think now to have the crucial for the monarchy around the commonwealth as people discuss these sorts of issues , have three painfully issues, have three painfully woke governments zealand in woke governments new zealand in australia and canada. and australia and in canada. and it's a contrast to ten it's such a contrast to ten years when had these pro years ago when you had these pro monarchist ministers john monarchist prime ministers john in zealand, tony abbott in in new zealand, tony abbott in australia stephen in australia stephen harper in canada , who was so gung for the canada, who was so gung for the monarchy . and it's monarchy. and it's just, i think, rather unfortunate . yes.

think, rather unfortunate. yes. so this is this political so is this is this political correctness from the australian government? you said we've got three governments in those key is this a political correctness move that they're bringing back? what is it they're going to be celebrating? the indigenous ? is celebrating? the indigenous? is that a nice thing or is this political correctness? well look, there are many ways you can celebrate you know, the aboriginal and indigenous of australia that are already represented some form or another on of these banknotes and, on three of these banknotes and, uniquely banknote . uniquely australian banknote. it's being very politically correct to have two faces on each a and a woman each note a man and a woman appear on the obverse and reverse of each, so they have more any other more faces than any other country include someone on country to include someone on there. they've got nine in total. could make space for total. they could make space for the have representation the king have representation for aboriginal if they wanted aboriginal people if they wanted to. this goes far beyond political correctness. i say political correctness. as i say , it isn't a direct attack on the monarchy. and in terms of correctness, we've just had the australian minister in town slagging off the british on an official visit. if you can

imagine. talk about rude and crass saying britain has to really reflect on its on its colonial heritage. so it is part of a much larger agenda, apparently, according apparently you're not allowed to say slagging on the television . my slagging on the television. my apologies to ofcom . i'm very apologies to ofcom. i'm very sorry. you're saying that and then only just repeat it. so who's the buffoon here? i think it is me. anyway, the kings coronation has also been in the spotlight . a minister has spotlight. a minister has apparently said that it will not be a display of lavishness and excess. is he allowed to that? surely it's the king's decision. well, of course it is the taxpayer and the government's coffers that for all of this. but i very much hope he's wrong. let me just say that. well, it's been years since we last had a coronation. if you look back to the queen's in 53, we had rationing taking place. people wanted glamour and wanted a of great glamour and glitz them out of the glitz to lift them out of the doldrums. same thing. the queen got in 1948 and women got married in 1948 and women gave ration coupons so gave up their ration coupons so she have a nicer wedding she could have a nicer wedding dress. today and dress. it's, i think today and given what we're suffering today , people have a great,

, people want to have a great, glamorous show to to the glamorous show to show to the world. how wonderful. our monarchy also actually, monarchy is and also actually, we have many occasions we don't have many occasions this country for patriotic outburst . unlike america or outburst. unlike america or france we don't have a bastille day on independence day to celebrate every year. that's day on independence day to celebrate every year . that's the celebrate every year. that's the downside the world's downside of being the world's unbroken constitution. but instead , it's royal weddings, instead, it's royal weddings, royal funerals jubilees, but particularly the coronation that provides occasion for the nation to come together . that's where to come together. that's where you get nation building, where you have national identity forged for each generation. social cohesion comes into being through street parties , through street parties, community activities, and everyone where they were. and they can actually part in what is actually the most important ceremonial and event in our country . and it's a great shame country. and it's a great shame we had that the piers be wearing their robes. why not a year? they're in storage. just dust them. cost involved them. there's no cost involved there. very nice have there. it's very nice to have a cost of living coronation is just quite sad. but i don't mean to upset you. but are you a little nostalgic if you look at

the survey state that comes out every now and again , young every now and again, young people simply aren't interested in the monarchy . and at the same in the monarchy. and at the same time as all this is going on, you've got prince harry and meghan who are having fun going to see the marriage renewal vows of ellen degeneres , who of of ellen degeneres, who of course, is a big celebrity in the us are people more interested in that kind of celebrity now younger people anyway than they are in our british monarchy ? well, of all british monarchy? well, of all the ways to attract young people to the monarchy, i don't think a cut price coronation is the way to go about it. it's precisely opposite. you know, unfortunately, as as we well know, we've an education system that doesn't teach about the monarchy, that teaches a hierarchy bad and that teaches bafic hierarchy bad and that teaches basic , basically a culture of basic, basically a culture of self—loathing of britain. so when kids are being exposed to negative attitudes towards britain and its institutions, it's hardly surprising they they hold such views, which it even more important that we proactive obviously support and promote all of our institutions

including the monarchy and what better way to do so than at the coronation and better to do better way to do so than at the corthan on and better to do better way to do so than at the corthan the|nd better to do better way to do so than at the corthan the princess better to do better way to do so than at the corthan the princess of tter to do better way to do so than at the corthan the princess of wales do better way to do so than at the corthan the princess of wales is» so than the princess of wales is photo competition. well, this is actually a very, very good initiative. you know, the monarchy more, of course, than all the glamour. and it makes a nice contrast with the temper tantrums montecito, tantrums from montecito, california , to the princess california, to see the princess of embarking a very, very of wales embarking a very, very noble which is to noble initiative which is to raise awareness of crucial raise awareness of the crucial penod raise awareness of the crucial period between zero and five in the development of and, you the development of. and, you know, aristotle famously said, give a child until the age of give me a child until the age of seven will show you the seven and i will show you the man. but astonishingly, in this country, 25% of parents country, only 25% of parents that the first five years of your childhood , the most your childhood, the most important and the first two years is absolutely crucial brain development. and so the princess of wales, by launching this scheme and posting photograph of herself at age photograph of herself at the age of encouraging others of five and encouraging others to , wants to ensure that to do so, wants to ensure that more than 25% realise that this penod more than 25% realise that this period is so important for the for future life of for the future life of development. and there's more for ever because of for now than ever because of covid. you have people, children

who have grown physically who have grown up, physically undeveloped, flats undeveloped, cooped up in flats . communication skills on. . the communication skills on. they don't even know how to toilet train. and so many of the fundamental aspects of life have been been to them been have been denied to them over past few years. yes. over the past few years. yes. and there is there and of course, there is there may poor teaching. may be some poor teaching. there's poor parenting as . there's also poor parenting as. well, now, am i right in thinking and please correct thinking and please you correct if did prince if i'm wrong, but did prince william say that a child can have an unhappy childhood and be a happy become a happy man? was that part of this story? well, i don't know whether he that, but certainly it is true. and this is. having done brushing up is. having done my brushing up on and it certainly on this before and it certainly is that you can have an is the case that you can have an unhappy and develop very well but certainly it's a far more difficult path to go down and to be actually provided with all of those opportunities , benefits of those opportunities, benefits of a healthy household a happy healthy household growing up. well, i do that their little ones grow up be happy and happy within monarchy because we know how difficult it can of the can for some members of the royal family to grow up in the institution. however brilliant

and patriotic it may be. thank you very much indeed . rafe held you very much indeed. rafe held out. man k forjoining out. hey, del, man k forjoining us today to be our royal commentator. now to a story that seems to have gripped the attention. are still attention. police are still investigate the disappearance of nicholas , a mother of two nicholas body, a mother of two from lancashire. nicola was last seen to the river while on a dog over a week ago. lancashire say its main working hypothesis is that she fell into the river. joining me now is our national reporter theo chikomba, who is in lancashire for us. can you bnng in lancashire for us. can you bring us up to date ? yes, it's bring us up to date? yes, it's been just over a week now since , the disappearance of nicola probably worth pointing out, , the disappearance of nicola probably worth pointing out , the probably worth pointing out, the search has been going on throughout day. you might be able to see behind me there are some people are part of a search team, even working tirelessly over the last few days . over the last few days. yesterday there was a press conference where superintendent sally riley from lancashire police brought out some of what they've been doing over the last

few days. indeed from house to house, looking at cctv footage, dashcam footage and so much more just to be able to find out what to her. earlier today i spoke to one of her friends about what she's been hearing over the last few days, and this is what she had to say. and i'll be honest, a confused me, am i thought that maybe there had some evidence come to light that hadn't heard of at that point . as far as i'm of at that point. as far as i'm aware there hasn't been any . and aware there hasn't been any. and so am struggling to understand . so am struggling to understand. it almost sounded like the police coming to that as a conclusion and as a friend of . conclusion and as a friend of. nikki, i am struggling to see how we can take a theory , a how we can take a theory, a conclusion and you know, nikki, we need to know where nikki is and far as i'm aware, there they have not found any evidence in, the water to say that think that she is there or that she has

been there . so where i am at the been there. so where i am at the moment is just the beginning of the path where they believe she walked towards that area where we've seen previously, where there's bench and where they believed her, her phone and her dog as well. so she would have gone up this path heading towards direction as sort of walk around the village or almost every corner . there are almost every corner. there are massive billboards or should i say court with that information with her picture on it as well, with her picture on it as well, with information for people to get in touch . if they do see get in touch. if they do see anything or feel like they might have some information for , the have some information for, the police which will help in there . one thing they have been saying is that people should refrain from coming up with what may have happened, but instead let the police do their job. and if you do have do get in touch with them. the investigation here continues. thank you very

much indeed. that was gb news national reporter theo chikomba that in lancashire. anybody who has seen nicola or has information about where she might be, please call 1 to 1 email at lee . anyway, moving on, email at lee. anyway, moving on, an official is expected to conclude that the royal air force broke employment by prioritising women and ethnic minority candidates over white men. chairman of the defence select tobias ellwood said the force identified around 160 cases of positive discrimination and had taken place. the news comes as labour's race equality task force is expected to ensure led firms access lucrative contracts. it's understood that the task force has also proposed introducing things like mandatory ethnic pay gap reporting for firms more than 250 staff with the aim of closing the existing gap on salaries to shed some more light on this. i am joined in the studio by activist and organiser of black lives protests. imani ayton on my left. thank you very much and i'm also joined by

director of the new culture forum peter whittle. hi. right. how shall i start with. i'll start with you , aman. thank you start with you, aman. thank you very much for coming into the studio to discuss having me. now, this is a bit of a non—pc question to ask, but do you think with the diversity inclusion drive, we're actually starting to discriminate against white men ? okay. so what i will white men? okay. so what i will say, is this conversation that we're actually having is about race equity and that very much connects to positive discrimination. that's the only way that you can achieve race equity. i just want to make it very clear. discrimination and discrimination achieve the exact same result. and so whilst initiatives are excellent and than welcome, as you can tell , than welcome, as you can tell, they also alienates other races , marginalised communities. that's also aggrieved and that can cause extra tension. and so for me personally comes down to the path of least resistance. okay. so organised issues find it a lot easier to turn race equality into tick boxing and

tokenism as opposed to changing entire culture. and that is where problem lies. and so for me personally, if you have a culture of prejudice it's quite clear that you're going to need quotas. and so if you didn't have the culture of you wouldn't need quotas and so for me personally, i don't need quota from a white person. what need is for white people to get out of our way? and so , in other of our way? and so, in other words, work on your prejudice and you won't need to get. out of the way. to you need to get out the way. yes well, no, i mean, i find this very very worrying actually, because the implication behind a lot of these initiatives, including the one the labour one that you referred to there , is that referred to there, is that britain is structurally racist . britain is structurally racist. i don't believe that a moment. i think it's an insult actually. i think it's an insult actually. i think we one of the least racist countries . and what this does it countries. and what this does it builds on that assumption is a wrong assumption and essentially saying the only way can be rectified is by some form

positive. you mentioned positive discrimination , which actually discrimination, which actually means parts housing making preferential treatment for one ethnic group. so in this particular case, for example , particular case, for example, with what labour is suggesting, it always to black businesses. now the fact is, you know, there are 15, i think minority in this country. why does it not talk about you know , southeast asian? about you know, southeast asian? why does it not? so you disagree . they disagree it. the point is, is we end up in situations like the one that you mentioned, emily, where had 160 white guys positively . well, no. negatively positively. well, no. negatively describing it against this week . we also end up with situations which, for example, a game was reported this week where the police in london so intent on getting up their diversity numbers that in fact some people now working for them are in fact

functionally illiterate in engush functionally illiterate in english because they are so determined to get this diversity quota up . now, the fact is, quota up. now, the fact is, shouldn't it all be about merit talent? this is simple . and i talent? this is simple. and i think that point i just want to just address of your points i have put this rdf into context. okay. so the armed services ombudsman has repeatedly highlighted concerns about the fact that women and ethnic minorities account for a disproportionate amount of bullying, harassment and discord within the military. so racism and discrimination has already taken place. hence the need for quotas. this is where we are right now. and that's what i don't situation is the answer not to treat people as individuals. i that the labour party and others any discrepancy between races as proof of discrimination and when it may be down to choice or other

factors. absolutely. what you . factors. absolutely. what you. but also it's completely utterly divisive . and as i said to the divisive. and as i said to the crucial thing, to go back again and again , levelling the playing and again, levelling the playing field is no, no. if you believe you believe potentially is that that you believe a gender the playing field why they you believe that britain is racist. so it's something you've had to say you believe britain is structurally racist, right. you're not going to that? no, it is not. that is a massive, massive sign that every human prejudice is on the side. that's human. it is an untruth , human. it is an untruth, something that you understand. peter you're not hearing this. you're not i'm not going to play your game on this. know playing your game on this. know playing your game on this. know playing your game prejudiced. well, understand this is a form that's something that understand something that you understand this form this will be this is a form of this will be a form state racism in a way. do not assign racism with all the races. this is forms of structural racism and any other discrimination, including racism , sexism. it's these are cliches these are just cliches. that's

these are just cliches. that's the sort of. please. well, these are just pure. and it seems like we are not going to agree this one. but it definitely got thinking, got us talking in studio. please do let me know what. you think. that was, of course, simon ayton, who is an organiser of black lives matter protests and. director of new culture forum. peter we're told they're discussing whether discrimination against white men is happening in this country. thank you very much indeed for joining us this afternoon on real britain. you've been watching britain, of watching real britain, of course, emily carver. course, with me, emily carver. thank very for your company. thank you very for your company. the show on every at 2 pm. the show is on every at 2 pm. i'll be next week, but for i'll be back next week, but for now leave you with the now i shall leave you with the weather. again, go weather. hello again, as we go through the of this, too through the rest of this, too many of us will see a spell. rain as a front pushes its way southeast, which there will then also showers in also be some wintry showers in the most sunday's the north. but for most sunday's looking sunny at the looking largely sunny at the moment. looking at the picture, we cold front that's we have this cold front that's making way across the uk and making its way across the uk and that's going to that's this that's going to bnng that's this that's going to bring of rain many bring a spell of rain to many parts it gradually pushes its parts as it gradually pushes its south the rest
