four civil servants involved according reports and most recently the sacked the zahawi from government position as tory chair after an inquiry that he breached the ministerial code. sunak also lost cabinet minister november when gavin williamson vowed he needed to down while he was even resigned to its bullying allegations. he even received a fixed penalty notice for not wearing a seatbelt , for not wearing a seatbelt, becoming the second serving prime minister to the law while in office . completely in office. completely unnecessary thing. how could be so well all this whilst trying to halve inflation, grow the economy reduce debt cut hospital waiting lists , stop the migrant waiting lists, stop the migrant crossing so the great british debate this i'm asking can the tories turn this mess around let's take a look at that pledge and stopping the boats. how was sunak party fared during its sunak and party fared during its first hundred days? i'm joined now a local journalist kim now by a local journalist kim rye kim, i hear you have first hand experience of the true of these crossings. you've taken, footage migrants arriving footage of migrants arriving into through what into. kent. talk me through what you've seen . well, the first

you've seen. well, the first thing i can say about this is it's completely unsustainable . it's completely unsustainable. the figures do not reflect . the the figures do not reflect. the number of people that are coming in via our beaches here under the radar . most people see the radar. most people see footage of rnli lifeboat bringing the main border force. that's not always the case. they come in on the quiet, sometimes late at night, in the morning, when it's dark and they disappear into the landscape. they've even been known to do this during , the daylight as this during, the daylight as well. so. so the whole , whole well. so. so the whole, whole thing, it just goes on and it unsustainable. so now they're saying that the doing something i don't know what something seems to be happening they're processing people faster. what have you actually seen happening there? because, know , have there? because, you know, have you seen much in the way of security and the stepping up things recently ? nope total lack things recently? nope total lack of security . i can give you of security. i can give you a examples now. you've seen some of the footage there. i was on

beach one day. 50 of them came in mostly men. i think they were all men. probably one woman. and they were coming up the beach. they were coming up the beach. they were coming up the beach. they were being intercepted by charity workers giving package . charity workers giving package. they then lined up by the lifeboat station and patted down the police and told they were under arrest. meanwhile they're still being given packages , the still being given packages, the charity workers. don't know what they're in. what we think we can. it's clothing. but at this my argument is they have not been searched. sometimes they are put straight on the coast without being searched at all. and i've seen the police stand by and watch the charity workers as soon as they get off the boats. the charity workers push down to the front. we're not supposed be on the shoreline when this is happening, when those boats are unloading, when this is happening, when those boats are unloading , told those boats are unloading, told to keep out of the way, they force their way in front of stop giving the packages . as soon as giving the packages. as soon as the migrants are in the boat and

the migrants are in the boat and the police just stand and watch . so how do you feel when you heanng . so how do you feel when you hearing people like we should say next saying we're going to stop the boats? you feel that he will actually be able to do that? or do you feel that the problem is way beyond him and he can't promise more likely to believe in the man in the moment? to be honest, because it's not happening. we've heard this before. we've heard this from ever from predecessors. nothing ever gets done. the local councils seem to be on their side the government seems to be on their side . we hope speak out against side. we hope speak out against it are labelled isms. i don't have anything. i have friends who legal migrants and they are as appalled at what's going on as appalled at what's going on as on the fact they rant more about it than i do . and like about it than i do. and like i said , on 1190 so far this year, said, on 1190 so far this year, we had double the amount last from the year before that . and from the year before that. and we still . but having said that , we still. but having said that, this is the migration watch

website . it figures that i'm website. it figures that i'm taking this from which an independent source and when you look at those figures, that's not counting the numbers coming off the beach. we see them walking through the town . we see walking through the town. we see them getting into cars . them getting into cars. sometimes i've got taxis waiting for them for people to pick them up. they obviously got gps on the phones, which have been preloaded by the that help us on the other side of the with details of where can get the freebies from . people are freebies from. people are appalled by this because we have appalled by this because we have a huge homeless problem even this area. i know people who've been evicted recently from a house and installed somewhere about 20 miles away and the most horrendous meanwhile these people enjoying the luxury of most all hotel bedrooms. well i mean, look, we, the taxpayers are paying it. the government needs to get the finger out. doesn't sound like we should see next 100 days of even touch the sides of that. kim rye thank you very much for me. she's out there cannes. really good to there in cannes. really good to talk well keep touch

talk to you. well keep in touch with find out exactly with kim and find out exactly how that's progressing. but we have reached for kelly. have reached to care for kelly. full statement. but they have not responded their website not responded on their website though we are though it does say that we are not politicians, we are ordinary people like you, you please deserves with deserves to be treated with dignity. on ground dignity. we are on the ground with refugees every single with the refugees every single day their day and irrespective their common response to common humanity and response to their use our own their needs. we use our own ground and relationship ground presence and relationship with the refugee to with the refugee community to provide the much needed help that other organisations are not able to . one has discussed the able to. one has discussed the wider issues facing the tories. i'm joined by deputy leader of ukip, jane, former ukip, rebecca jane, former labour steven pound labour party mp steven pound political commentator reem ibrahim . right. well, i'm going ibrahim. right. well, i'm going to start with you, stephen, in the middle there . hi there. to the middle there. hi there. to the middle there. hi there. to the is. can the tories turn it around for labour to win . and i around for labour to win. and i think it's a two horse race would require the turnaround in british politics for the for the last hundred. god knows many years. i think the question at the moment the tories are desperately but we're in the era

anymore when people with the sort of family loyalty when the era of retail politics and if you look at the for example reform they're up about six, seven, 8. that could cost the tories some. i think the liberal explosion, if you like, or the increase in their vote was very much based on a hatred and antipathy towards boris johnson in particular. and i don't honestly think that ed davey has sealed the deal . so at the sealed the deal. so at the moment william did this marvellous rah rah speech at chequers last week. lisa if you think was bad, you should have been around in 1992. the difference is in 1992 neil kinnock didn't have the same read across the reach as keir starmer. as keir starmer may be accused of being bland and boring, but frankly, after we've had johnson , we've had all these had johnson, we've had all these bizarre behaviours the last few months, i think i'd could do with a bit of bland. so the tories can win the next election, but in its course i don't think, they will. but let's not nobody should be completely complacent the moment. let's get to moment. well, let's get to rebecca. rebecca jane, what do

you think? they turn this you think? can they turn this mess around ? can't turn mess around? they can't turn this around . and i don't this mess around. and i don't want want change want bland. i want change action. so no mean we're talking about the party here who are absolutely embroiled scandal from start to finish from covid times dishing out all the contracts that they did to their friends partygate that have been sacked for the tax affairs. you know we're even talking about paulin know we're even talking about paul in the house of commons, for goodness sakes. they can't turn it around. they shouldn't turn it around. they shouldn't turn it around the public. we should never what they've done because whilst we look all of the sleaze and the scandal that surrounds them, what they also did in the was did in the process was completely destroy completely and utterly destroy our i don't want land. our country. i don't want land. i want change. i want action , i want change. i want action, and i want time for a completely government. well, they might say that they didn't hand out contracts to their friends. but, you you can imagine, it you know, if you can imagine, it it's the people they knew it's the people that they knew that closest. mean, that were closest. i mean, that's their defence. that's just in their defence. let's william abraham. let's go to william abraham. she's commentator she's a political commentator now . yeah. i mean, i like i now. yeah. i mean, i like i wouldn't change. i do want

action. i want the government to do think they want do less. and i think they want this past 12 years have this the past 12 years have really shown us is that the government tends to do things really and that really quite badly and that actually power back actually when bring power back to that's where the to the people, that's where the good happen. good things happen. look, i think that think about think that when we think about the election, you know, the next election, you know, i think we're certain lose think we're almost certain lose the years of tory the past 12 years of tory government has been a complete and utter failure. you know, we got done probably got brexit done probably what the things the the only good things that the government recently are the government done recently are the maybe highest tax maybe we have the highest tax burden in 70 years. we've got migrants coming in that thousands we've got an nhs that is on its breaking point. there is on its breaking point. there is conservative about this government . so unless rishi government. so unless rishi sunak really does hail mary and the tax cutting conservative that he should be unfortunately , i think we are going to lose the next election. but rebecca jane shaking your head , you said jane shaking your head, you said we got brexit done. she doesn't agree with you now. now this agree with you now. now in this last what? of course not. you know, i'm ukip. last what? of course not. you know, i'm ukip . goodness sake. know, i'm ukip. goodness sake. if there's one thing that the conservatives have not done is got in they did

got brexit done in what they did was absolute shambles. was make an absolute shambles. they and utterly they completely and utterly trashed . they never wanted it in trashed. they never wanted it in the first place. were were the first place. we were were wrong hand the trust like we wrong to hand the trust like we did and to stand candidate down and all the rest of it it will never happen again . and we never happen again. and we should never, ever trust that they're anything. they they're to do anything. they didn't get brexit not done. and it needs get done. but if you hadn't, by then we could have been looking at a labour government and stephen would have that, have been happy with that, wouldn't is because he wouldn't. is he because he frozen ? he's frozen . you frozen? he's frozen. you wouldn't you couldn't tell his friends and his spouse that don't move in this hilarious mean take over from him . yeah, i mean take over from him. yeah, i think i think i do think the more ukip did when they stood down was, was the right thing because again we could have seen those votes going sway to the labour party, which would have been worse if had in been even worse if we had in power look, i understand power say, look, i understand rebecca on brexit you rebecca sentiment on brexit you know definition hasn't been know by definition hasn't been completed the issues in northern ireland haven't been resolved . ireland haven't been resolved. by ireland haven't been resolved. by definition, brexit has done

and dusted deal and however i look i think ukip's sort of a party of the past we are an independent country . we have independent country. we have left the european union officially . yes, there are some officially. yes, there are some things that some some some things that some some some things that some some some things that we sort of sought out to get it all finished. but actually we did leave the european union. we left because of the conservative party. she called a party, the past. called you a party, the past. rebecca jane, did you hear that? rebecca jane, did you hear that? rebecca that party of the past. well, you know, it's a shock . i well, you know, it's a shock. i mean, we certainly not the party of the past . yes. we have been of the past. yes. we have been lot quite so. but no, we're not the party of the past. we've got a lot to do, especially the first thing we obviously want start is the migrant crisis and but we do need to get brexit done.the but we do need to get brexit done. the young lady says a lot of lately fantastic things and thank for that but we're not done however think that she'd done. however i think that she'd be really moving over be accepted really moving over to a different policy. let's go back to stephen. you first of what is quite, quite let me say a couple of things. sorry you

know, and i know it's the economy. the economy is the key. if you actually look at what people are about and people are worried about and thinking you'll very thinking about, you'll very often find things that people think is going matter. think that is going to matter. aren't the case. look, the economy is a very place and economy is in a very place and the footsie is up in the high seventies at 76, 77, got a low, knows how doing so well often which is brilliant for savers, really good for people. people have got a broad portfolio of interest. however, if you're to buy a property, if you're paying a mortgage, you're up in 4. the interest rate and i think the biggest horror for the next election is going to be housing. i don't think it's going be migrants. i don't think it's going to be any of. the question about whether we can sort brexit or not. it's going to be housing because affects every because that affects every single unfortunately the single and unfortunately the government's simply not have government's simply do not have a handle on this. so i think it will be the economy stupid, but i think going to be a very, i think it's going to be a very, very sort of kind of sort of broken down election this time. there's going be different results different of

results in different parts of the country doubt. the country without any doubt. i think the actual election. but i've a long time. of course i've been a long time. of course they'll be different in different parts of the country, but no difference between , i'm but no difference between, i'm sorry, be exacerbated . we sorry, will be exacerbated. we keep having this situation with . migration. this stephen. . migration. this is stephen. we've a time that you had we've run at a time that you had your and you just froze on your bit and you just froze on me. stephen found former labour party froze back party mp. i froze to death back . i got it right. and deputy leader ukip rebecca jane. lovely to very much to talk to. thank you very much for thoughts. you're with to talk to. thank you very much for i'm thoughts. you're with to talk to. thank you very much for i'm away. hts. you're with to talk to. thank you very much for i'm away. this(ou're with to talk to. thank you very much for i'm away. this gb re with to talk to. thank you very much for i'm away. this gb news1 to talk to. thank you very much for i'm away. this gb news on tv me. i'm away. this gb news on tv onune me. i'm away. this gb news on tv online and on digital video. after break. we'll continue with the great british debate this houn the great british debate this hour. i'm asking canada to always turn this around . you'll always turn this around. you'll hear the thoughts of my panel of broadcast columnist lizzie broadcast and columnist lizzie cundy and also political , taller cundy and also political, taller than stay tuned because coming up at 5:00, it's week's difficult conversation. one man is legal action against the care home after accusing of putting his mother on end of care without the family's consent dunng without the family's consent during the pandemic. i'll be joined by attorneys still live

and far as i'm aware that they have not any evidence. so and nick's parents and sister last night and the heartbreak they are living in a living hell . and are living in a living hell. and on top of that, they have all the speculation that comes out to deal with . it's too much. to deal with. it's too much. it's not fair. he's two british aid volunteers who died during a humanitarian evacuated ocean have been returned to ukrainian authorities. the families of , authorities. the families of, chris parry and andrew bagshaw say pair were attempting to rescue an woman from the eastern town of soledar in early january . the bodies were returned as part of a prisoner swap. ukraine swapped 216 of its people in exchange for 63, returned to russia . the princess of wales russia. the princess of wales has launched a photo campaign on social to media raise awareness of the importance of early years development. led the campaign by posting a photograph of herself as a baby with her father . it's

good afternoon. it's coming up to 37 minutes after 4:00. here with me . not a quitter. this is with me. not a quitter. this is a gb news. we are the people's channel. it is now time for our great british. this hour. i'm asking , can great british. this hour. i'm asking, can the tories great british. this hour. i'm asking , can the tories turn great british. this hour. i'm asking, can the tories turn this mess ? rishi sunak now been in mess? rishi sunak now been in office as prime minister for over 100 days, but our world as he managed during his time despite is being relatively

time. rishi has faced more than his fair share of controversy . his fair share of controversy. we've got the business with . we've got the business with. dominic raab at the moment, he's been subject to eight formal complaints of bullying . then of complaints of bullying. then of course we had nadhim zahawi who was sacked from his government position as tory party chair after inquiry found that he breached the ministerial code . breached the ministerial code. and all this while trying to halve inflation, grow the economy, reduce debt, cut out the waiting lists and stop them crossing. so it's a great british debate this hour. i'm asking, can the tories turn this mess around? let's discuss that with my panel broadcast columnist lizzie cundy and political commentator sam dowler . sam, can we to clean clean up the mess that he created rishi is presiding over a in chaos that drowned incompetence and corruption . and you know this is corruption. and you know this is the country in an economic stagnation . a bitter and angry stagnation. a bitter and angry population that just want to turn against the government in power at the moment. i mean look, i voted for theresa may

voted for david cameron. he for terrorism. and i went canvassing with grant shapps because . my with grant shapps because. my dad was a tory councillor at the time. well hearty then . no, no time. well hearty then. no, no recollection of like they are now. any benevolence is gone and it's been replaced by cruelty and mismanagement and intolerance. and you know, it just i don't want any part of it. and i, you know, rishi is at the helm . mean, for goodness the helm. mean, for goodness sakes, we've had cameron johnson trust sunak i mean quick i mean it's outrageous and i agree with rebecca jane who was just on like you know it is time for a change not her type of change but it's time for a change. yeah, well the tories getting in and for rishi there's no hope of hope i'm afraid. pops sadly lost the last day . there's. there's the last day. there's. there's no future for the tory party. i'm afraid i'd never thought i'd say. that is a complete moral their policy is just gone , just their policy is just gone, just disastrous and we've got to think of rishi how he actually

came in to be minister. i mean, he is a fraud in. my eyes, he parachuted . he was not floated parachuted. he was not floated any parachuted in, backstabbed bofis any parachuted in, backstabbed boris and i'm afraid he isn't within the party because of that . and no one can forget that betrayal and people don't trust him. well, i'm afraid when you see him, i mean, an interview's. it's like vicar of dibley . a it's like vicar of dibley. a sermon. do you think there's no . there's no charisma. he he's going to fix the boat. i'm to stop the boats. well, how is he going to stop the boats? i mean, the root is the gangsters and the root is the gangsters and the need to fast track course to stop it and get those boats . but stop it and get those boats. but if this just outlined how much money? 6.8 million. well, listen it's being spent every day. so, first of all, i mean, the fraud would suggest he's done something that was financially legal. so he done anything as far as we know, so that but but i see as in how he got into opposition. so how he got into position. that was that is position. but that was that is the party elected the way the tory party elected a leader. that their system is

leader. so that their system is how it works and they followed their system the tee they even tried change a bit so that tried to change it a bit so that they couldn't get back. they couldn't get boris back. some to get it some people tried to get it changed. could get changed. so that they could get him basically. look, if him back, basically. look, if you rid of the tory party and i'm not saying that they are the best because mean they have best because i mean they have been inadequate been woeful, inadequate and i would have to would like to have somebody to support way they behave support the way they behave but it's it's front of your it's just it's in front of your very i'd be mad to say very eyes. so i'd be mad to say that they've done good job, but we to consider the alternative here is sir keir here because it is sir keir starmer keir starmer and labour starmer. keir starmer and labour party who are equally as say they have their a affinity to they have their a affinity to the unions, they've got their ability, the sort of islington sect they are turning into a tory party before our eyes. the things their policies are, what i say are more i would say are more conservative than conservative party, but remember the unions right there's all striking right now there's all striking and they are beholden to the unions and that's exactly what this this the thing this that this is the thing with the there's when's last the unions there's when's last when they half million when they saw half a million people striking so you've got obviously train obviously uni lecturers, train drivers you royal the drivers as you know, royal the royal teachers, nurses,

royal mail teachers, nurses, barristers. cases on the barristers. so most cases on the strategy tell us of course i think know keir starmer strategy but this strategy ain't working it ain't working at all i mean and you know the tories idea for to get rid of these strikes is to get rid of these strikes is to change the laws so that people can't strike. i mean what of how that's not right because in other countries this particular it's not so particular law and it's not so they strike it is they can't strike the what it is essentially to give them a criterion with which and that's only fair because especially if it's which is it's public services which is coming of taxes we coming out of our taxes that we are paying then if they are paying for, then if they are not happy bear in mind that not happy and bear in mind that salaries negotiated salaries are negotiated by independent pay bodies will determine what they get, they get rises of the time, get pay rises most of the time, not always in line with inflation, but they also have pensions, some securities that they companies they some private companies don't you take that don't have. so if you take that into account, then well, also that. but also they want that they wanted to come out the courts human rights and we've supped courts human rights and we've slipped 14 the slipped to number 14 in the europe lgbt rights and europe for lgbt rights and that's a number 40 to be used to be number one like years be number one like five years ago. just say what does ago. can i just say what does case number stand? he

case number actually stand? he sits fence , you know, sits on the fence, you know, even no one really strikes. even you no one really strikes. you on the picket you won't go on the picket lines. is i'm sick. you won't go on the picket lines. is i'm sick . we lines. what is it? i'm sick. we need a change. but not. we need a change. like from richard tice. come on, reform . that's tice. come on, reform. that's never gonna change. we need a change. but but people don't vote for it because people aren't going to. people aren't going to vote for. i mean, everyone's vote. the same reason why people don't necessarily vote for lib dems anymore. they're to vote for labour because chance of because labour have a chance of getting. moment i don't getting. and the moment i don't think what think people about what keir starmer to do, they starmer is going to do, they just different party to just want a different party to see what the couldn't possibly be people are sick of this be was people are sick of this because circus clowns is because it's a circus clowns is circus as sadly which circus and as sadly we are which is left in the political is left us in the political wilderness because he's gone so liberal you know, we liberal he says, you know, we had no but because he was so close with labour people between labour and these tory one of which is to halve inflation which is to halve inflation which as we know, is coming down anyway to grow the economy. well, you couldn't shrink it any

further. it shrinks any further. if it shrinks any further. if it shrinks any further. not to make further. i'm not going to make a i still . told you just last week i still. told you just last week i still. told you just last week i so that's exactly . yeah but i so that's exactly. yeah but that's another thing. i mean went missing didn't he. i mean 800 days, i mean nearly half what that you did it ghosted the we find him saying was he on duty and i know but you know a leader he's been so under whelming society appointed the after his as well big big pr you know videos and back stabbing bofis know videos and back stabbing boris me that sticks in my throat stephen pound made the point that it ain't over until the fat lady sings he didn't use those exact words, but his point was that there is still a chance for the tory party and we have still got time. so if they the economy substantially, you economy substantially, would you consider them an option that consider them as an option that would be have be a massive would be have to be a massive turnaround now such turnaround right now such as it's that stench of it's just that the stench of corruption all that the corruption and all that the billions written off billions they've written off and unusable the cronyism unusable like the cronyism i mean like that but weeks

mean like all of that but weeks and not be able to sort and not not even be able to sort their out think they their taxes out i think they would be such a massive would to be such a massive turnaround for them to even come close. but you know, they could they lose they could they will lose they'll lose but it's they'll lose seats. but it's about answers well about how answers back. well bofis i about how answers back. well boris i to say boris was back, i have to say i never thought i'd say this out because he's box office, he's got personality . i always i, i got personality. i always i, i watch rishi and i just love will. as i said, he's like a sunday sermon that is just so i'm sorry. every interview does is just like it's fake and it just isn't . and he's not going just isn't. and he's not going to get the votes. he's got 500 days, 500 days. the next election he better start acting. it's all spin , then waffle it's all spin, then waffle another election might be box office, but he's national lampoon's . he is he? no he's lampoon's. he is he? no he's entertaining all is going on what if it operational what his support what do you claim. well the other western leaders wouldn't have gone in well and it's down to boris. well okay, let's see. what do you think

this shows nothing without you and views. let's welcome and your views. let's welcome our british your our great british voices. your interview on the show and interview to be on the show and tell us what you think about the topics we're discussing which we should regulars. should go over to our regulars. scott favourite scott in bristol oh my favourite . oh we lovely we let's have a chat lee harris lee they chat with lee harris lee they turn that alone. can they turn this mess around . surely i'm. this mess around. surely i'm. still trying to get over the shock of finding out the sound vote conservative in two elections. how someone nana i like but what's happened it's going to take a miracle it's going to take a miracle it's going to take a miracle but i think there might be a way they can turn this round. the problem is not entirely convinced the conservatives actually want to win the next election. it seems like up ditching like they've given up ditching bofis like they've given up ditching boris was a huge mistake. it is clear rishi not cutting clear that rishi is not cutting through polling is through the polling is diabolical, but what conservatives need to do is they need dig and find their need to dig deep and find their passion for conservatism. they need to emphasise what separates from the labour party like for example, being at the forefront of fighting an increasingly

dangerous woke ideology. some say there isn't much difference between labour, the conservatives and in some respects they're right . but respects they're right. but there are important cultural differences between the two parties. and this is the point i want to make. not a lot of people are pointing this out a really good example and recent example . the snp's disgraceful example. the snp's disgraceful gender recognition reform bill. look look at how the two parties reacted and kissed and many prominent labour mps gave this insane policy full throated support . the conservatives said support. the conservatives said this was unacceptable and said they would veto the policy using section 35 and thank goodness they did . for me, this section 35 and thank goodness they did. for me, this is one of they did. for me, this is one of the most important differences . the most important differences. the conservatives and labour in terms of winning back voters, especially the red wall. you know, the thought of a woke infested snp supporting brexit, hating labour party, running country is terrifying well, that is a good note when don't you

literally just change my mind right there. lee harrison , thank right there. lee harrison, thank you very much for your views right today. i'm asking, can the tories turn this mess around? lots of you think getting in touch with your thoughts marks as why can't illegal migrants be housed disused nightingale housed in disused nightingale hospital. you know why , because hospital. you know why, because there's no staff there. that was why nobody this new staff why nobody had this new staff john says they can sort out john that says they can sort out this mess but i fear they won't wayne says only if they sort out immigration of brexit they will nehhen immigration of brexit they will neither. so they will say that they have a plan. but we need to vote for them. ask says the tories don't have a chance back bofis tories don't have a chance back boris way . well, so a lot of boris way. well, so a lot of people are saying, i mean, don't know what they were thinking, getting rid of him, but now we know what's underneath all of that. with me. i'm done that. you're with me. i'm done with a news on tv with this is a gb news on tv onune with this is a gb news on tv online and on digital radio. don't as well. you can stream us live youtube coming this live youtube coming up is this week's difficult conversation. i'll to a man i'll be speaking to a man who lost the pandemic lost mother during the pandemic .tony lost mother during the pandemic . tony stoll claims a care home failed to tell his mother was

going tell him that his mother was going on end of life care. i'll be from later and i'll be hearing from later and after the break it will round up time royal biographer angela levin . we live in the studio to levin. we live in the studio to talk me through the king's coronation, the princess of wales latest engagements. what does that the way .

next good afternoon . it's just coming good afternoon. it's just coming up to 9 minutes to 5:00. if just joined me welcome on board. we are at gb news where the people's channel you can sit down at the gb news app and stream all the programmes as everything that's on the channel here. i'm going to equip and coming up now it is time for my royal round up because there's always going on in the royal household and this week has been it no different as the king's coronation approaches. there's much speculation to whether

prince harry and meghan will be in attendance, especially the release the duke's release of the duke's controversial memoir, spare . controversial memoir, spare. also king charles and camilla are finally sorting out their flat out. so as ever, every saturday i'd love to give you a rundown on who better to do that than royal biographer andrew, 11. angela, hello hello. good to see you in orange grapevine right minds different good to say something for us. what do you think then? so, harry and meghan attending coronation . are meghan attending coronation. are we with all of that. well it's interesting, actually. i think they're made a jump because it was in a colourful opinion paper today that they've decided not today that they've decided not to do any more. netflix programmes about they were going to do fun tv that they said certainly that their idea of fun would be how is but they obviously concerned about that want to make light hearted

sweetie pie programme programme . but the other thing is that harry can somebody who's very close to harry said that he meghan wasn't around during the whole of the very time of his awful book because he didn't want anyone to think that she him and she stayed away so that he could do it himself and she wouldn't be responsible for and wouldn't be responsible for and would let him show that he can create his own jobs . would let him show that he can create his own jobs. he's very worthy of doing so. i don't think is when you talk about drugs and other parts of your body, which won't mention again, because i won't, but i don't think his book gave anybody confidence of actually him getting him as increasing the increasing numbers of people with their mental health. i

don't think any of those work . don't think any of those work. but as for them coming over , but as for them coming over, you'd say there might be a gesture of , warmth or gesture of, warmth or conciliation but what harry's done this week or last week was the welsh , which was a charity, the welsh, which was a charity, a private . he looked after . the welsh, which was a charity, a private . he looked after. he a private. he looked after. he was the patron of nothing do with the royal family, but is calling himself royal patron . calling himself royal patron. and that's absolutely appalling because in february 21, when they left the lot, the contract that they but what they agreed with queen the late queen was that they wouldn't use royal and then the thing that they're doing so knows exactly what he's doing so knows exactly what he's doing so knows exactly what he's doing so just showing they're still poor the what can they do to him absolutely nothing . so to him absolutely nothing. so it's really he's not showing willingness. he's standing out there being bully, trying to be in control . so there being bully, trying to be in control. so i there being bully, trying to be in control . so i personally felt in control. so i personally felt let them come . you know, i spent let them come. you know, i spent a lot of time with him in 2017,

18, and i my biography and i really liked him. but now i don't want to come i think in whatever they do it will distract people and i think it's definitely king moment and will spoil it and the other will be frightened to talk to them because they think they will take segments of what they saying and sell them onto someone else . they, they can't someone else. they, they can't trust him . and also when harry trust him. and also when harry was left own devices so on some of those talk where he said, well, this racism what racism and all that, it wasn't really very good at all. it was quite embarrassing, really, and actually contradictory to actually quite contradictory to what said in all they've what they've said in all they've people to believe in the past, which i think was actually very wrong. so we move on then to charles and camilla what have they they've they been doing? well, they've been busy. i that the way been really busy. i that the way one of the ways that they handung one of the ways that they handling this pain and agony and emotion no difficulty is to keep really busy. we know that king charles is a workaholic anyway , charles is a workaholic anyway, but they actually are working

non—stop. they had a 300 people coming to buckingham palace west and south asians , all sorts of and south asians, all sorts of types of . people they had, they types of. people they had, they went to manchester, they went to talk to the police and they went to an art gallery. and the i think, camilla was doing that, but and an l can't remember what the illness is, but she was dying there to do illness. the two talk to people about and make sure everybody feeling okay. so i think running around, i don't know how do it i think it's a non—stop several a day and at least helps them cope with the pain it must be yeah because they can't be for harry and meghan to be people who are supposedly in touch with the mental to put their family through this i mean especially meghan not speaking to her dad his mental health must be shocked to bits especially with him being ill as well. and then of other camilla

of course all the other camilla with the things that he said about her in the book mean just in a villain and of course, william and kate was not a particularly nice onslaught with regard to william in particular. it's just, you know, it's interesting that they are patrons of sort of patrons of these sort of charities that they these things, but they don't seem to have with. who have empathy with. people who may think they just may be. well, i think they just see from point of view. see it from their point of view. and don't actually see and they don't actually see anybody of about anybody point of view about these things . it's can't say, these things. it's can't say, well, if i say that, i'm going to help this person , i'm going to help this person, i'm going to help this person, i'm going to really hurt them. so i need to really hurt them. so i need to be careful. but i don't do that all about me, me, me and they think that they're different. they can do things differently . but catherine , the differently. but catherine, the princess of wales she's working very hard too. and it's been said she's put it to one side and is getting on with this project had the last ten years about 0 to 5 year olds and how children are made and developed in time. and she put out request

of life drugs. i knew any of this so i got into the hospital three days later after being given this. medications and telling me she's not end of life . the next morning i get the call and mom's gone . i went with call and mom's gone. i went with her, but i've a family to be there . i'm a her, but i've a family to be there. i'm a dad. i'm a partner . my i died that day. there. i'm a dad. i'm a partner . my i died that day . i died. . my i died that day. i died. i'm so sorry. i mean, the only good there is that you got to hug her. oh, yes. i mean , you hug her. oh, yes. i mean, you know, there was the whole covid thing and people weren't even allowed to touch their loved ones. so you got that. i just did and you did the right did it. and you did the right thing. picked up that. i've thing. i picked up that. i've got with you've got got that with me. you've got that. got that with me. you've got that . it keeps got that with me. you've got that. it keeps me smiling. the absolute . i want to ask fadi

absolute. i want to ask fadi now, is that the right procedure. what there in tony's case, where it would appear that suddenly his mum was on end of life without any real consultation consultation . consultation consultation. that's not correct procedure. the law is quite clear on this, is that usually when an end of life decision has been made , life decision has been made, which in itself does have a role in the sort of care landscape. because sometimes you people with conditions that irreversible. sometimes it's best to put people on a pathway where they can die dignity without the you know treatment as treatment could be distressing . but when that distressing. but when that decision is made, it's the most clear that you should be made with consulted on. so the patient should be consulted and there should be this ongoing dialogue as to what's in the best interests of patients. and if the patient lacks mental capacity it will be they'll

capacity and it will be they'll usually consultation family usually be consultation family as to what the appropriate pathways in this case from what we can look at with the records we can look at with the records we have and we only looking at one side of the coin it should be that's fair to say, because the care home will still need to respond on this, but from what we see, records that a we can see, records that a decision was made on on the 15th of may 2020. so a friday. i bear in mind, mr. style was there on the friday always in contact with the home and he wasn't told on day. but the following day, which was the 16th, which was the saturday again , mr. style the saturday again, mr. style was in contact and again he wasn't told anything . it was wasn't told anything. it was only when he called on the 17th that he was then told as she's on an end of life . and you've on an end of life. and you've seen records as well. so these records, from what we can see from that side of the coin , it from that side of the coin, it says a decision was made on the 15th. and of course such

decisions typically are not made in a vacuum instantly. so that's when the decision was recorded. it could have been contemplated before the 15th, which was the friday could have been contemplated on thursday or contemplated on the thursday or or we don't know or the wednesday. we don't know . it was eventually . but when it was eventually communicated . and antonio was communicated. and antonio was admitted to hospital on that sunday, she was put on a ventilator and she was safe. and she was it wasn't a ventilator. it was just the oxygen mask . so it was just the oxygen mask. so she was given some sort of treatment and initially quite well to it, but didn't. treatment and initially quite well to it, but didn't . but the well to it, but didn't. but the point is that consultation had been given in the first instance she may have had the best part of 48 to 72 hours of treatment . of 48 to 72 hours of treatment. and who is to say that that couldn't have changed, that couldn't have changed, that could have been pivotal that could have been pivotal that could have been vital and it could have been vital and it could have been the difference between life and death. well, listen, running time. listen, are running out of time. okay. got about 30 okay. so we've got about 30 seconds talk to and tony's seconds to talk to me and tony's lawyer. something you can lawyer. something that you can do. now on do. yes. he's now named on tony's left. is for tony's left. my mum is for families .

tony's left. my mum is for families. they wish to do so at their own expense to place a camera in their relatives room . camera in their relatives room. so it's not intruding on any of privacy whatsoever. and it's controlled only by the family member. listen and the fight is still on. you are still pushing for this. i'm hoping i'm going to get the whole of the whole of britain behind me. now, this would have saved my mum. when i say saved and i would have known what really happened. well, listen, tony, thank you very much. thank you. i really appreciate that, fadi. thank all so appreciated . when, of so much appreciated. when, of course, we requested a statement from a rose in care home and this is what they said in their response. this is antonia stoll, a former and much not resident of roseville, a care home, sadly died at halliburton infirmary on the 18th may 20, 20. we fully understand the feeling of loss and grief her family and friends will have felt her loss and our sympathies with them. whilst resident of roseville care home and her hospitalisation with covid and other health issues,

we believe that our dedicated and professional provided antonia with a best care under the direction her gp a medical team all proper processes in the delivery of this care was followed physician assessed been widely publicised. the covid pandemic , the social hit social pandemic, the social hit social care sector extremely hard . care sector extremely hard. despite the numerous challenges this has presented. the team at roseville care home have always tried to provide the very best care for all our residents and are fully committed to the highest level of care and into the future . but we also contact the future. but we also contact the future. but we also contact the department of health and social care and a spokesperson said universal principles for advanced care planning set out that are central to developing and agreeing plans for their future care, which may include end of life care. and they should decide who else is involved in the process . if involved in the process. if a person has been assessed as lacking capacity, then any action taken must be made in their best interests, capacity and place to duty or the

decision maker to . consult those decision maker to. consult those interested in the person's where practical and appropriate conditions should work their patient to decide on the course of treatment ensuring the most appropriate care for that individual is the primary and according for guidance for survivors are accountable for their prescribing decisions . their prescribing decisions. well, stay with us. coming up, the great british debate this houn the great british debate this hour. i'm asking, are the great british debate this hour. i'm asking , are you fed the great british debate this hour. i'm asking, are you fed up with everything being blamed on brexit? it's paid over three years since britain officially the eu and certain high profile individuals still insist on blaming brexit for the numerous issues that the uk is facing, including immigration and the economy. that's coming up after this .

there's lots of goodness in there. and there. how does the goodness get in? is it in the air? whoa!!! yeah!!! or the rain? thunder/mooing or in what they eat? actually... - meat and dairy- naturally contain vitamin b12, which helps us get energy from food and stay healthy. wow. rachel with me i'm not aware

this is a gb news on tv, online and on digital radio. it's just gone 27 minutes after 5:00. i'm nana akua it's time now for our great british debate this hour. and i'm asking, are you fed with things being blamed on brexit? it's been three years since britain left the eu and it appears the ramona's just can't get over the fact that we voted to leave and we meant it. let's a look at some of the outrageous moments he just gave a hot start. who was the chief brexit representative for the european parliament claimed that parliament where he claimed that brexit caused the brexit could have caused the russian invasion of ukraine unhed russian invasion of ukraine united europe certainly on on defence matters which make an enormous difference . i think enormous difference. i think maybe brexit, maybe was no invasion really . then there's invasion really. then there's the bbc match of the day. presenter lineker taking aim at gb news presenter nigel farage. he claimed nigel played an important in breaking britain and remember the independent bank of england governor andrew

bailey and team couldn't help but show their true feelings about brexit. as a public official, i'm neutral brexit per say, but i'm neutral and saying these are what we think are the most likely economic effects of it. the simple way of thinking what brexit's done to the economy is that in the period that happened after, the referendum, there was the very very the biggest very sort of the biggest appreciation that any of the world's four major economies have seen, that that contributed increasing prices , reduced increasing prices, reduced wages. and i'm not talking through real wages, but also through real wages, but also through nominal wages. through real wages, but also through nominal wages . and some through nominal wages. and some wages have actually gone actually since we couldn't get the cheap labour from, the eu. well, if this brexit is not to blame for the state of the economy, if there isn't any global recession caused by covid, some of the policies of our government, but it doesn't stop there. the indian prime minister blames brexit for the current border 2008. the current border in 2008. the independent claim that brexit could be blamed for lack of could be blamed for a lack of environment standards. ironically the uk have adopted strong environmental standards for and people getting

for farmers and people getting sick of brexit, being blamed now used as an excuse for every problem these days. so the great british debate this year, i'm asking are you fed up with things we've blamed on brexit? i'm joined the ceo of i'm joined by the ceo of competent former trade competent and former trade advisor the uk secretary of advisor to the uk secretary of state international and state of international and a former client adviser to the united states trade representative . there's a lot representative. there's a lot that shankar frank is saying. i'll say former conservative cabinet minister ann widdecombe . author and journalist rebecca reid. well, let's start with you and you sit nearest to me and. everything seems to be blamed on brexit. you had enough of it? oh, yes. but i mean, this has going on right from the start. we had a shortage of drivers . we had a shortage of drivers. everybody said, oh, it's brexit. well they didn't is take into well they didn't do is take into account fact it was a account the fact it was a shortage of drivers across vast swathes the eu even in swathes of the eu even in america. nothing to do with brexit. and then we have the apple chaos . and people said, apple chaos. and people said, oh, it's brexit, but hang on there was apple chaos around it. dan dublin. most of all in

stockholm. now they have left the eu and as soon as anything goes wrong, people say brexit. you know, we had food as a result of ukraine. and the interruption to supplies . oh, it interruption to supplies. oh, it must be brexit. yeah, i am actually very of everything being blamed on brexit. but i must say, give up. stop has on my side the argument an enormous favour because by saying that the ukraine war is attributable to brexit must be the most clownish statement that anybody's heard in a very long time. but i think there are all sorts of things going on. one yes, there is a culture of people who still want to blame brexit and get us back into eu suddenly. but there's an enormous insularity in our approach, as i say, you know , we approach, as i say, you know, we don't really look at what is happening. started moaning happening. we started moaning about our energy supplies . about our energy supplies. germany was at that very moment russian in hot water. you know, we didn't know was going on elsewhere. we didn't seem to take interest in it. elsewhere. we didn't seem to take interest in it . we knew

take interest in it. we knew suddenly that we're not making of brexit. and i think this the big problem. i have very good arguments for coming out. i very good arguments for staying in. i never heard an argument in the whole of the campaign but coming out and then i think as we were still in hiding it just seemed to be because . well, rebecca to be because. well, rebecca reed, what do you think? is it all brexit's fault ? i mean, i all brexit's fault? i mean, i think a fair amount of stuff that probably is related. but also i think that is a sense that culturally we're aware of brexit. and i think a lot of have sort of three or four political things that can hold my head one time and brexit is one of them. therefore blame it in the same way that i blame all my problems and the of my problems and the cost of living whether that living crisis. whether that relates not. but i relates to that or not. but i think what frustrates is when think what frustrates me is when people criticisms of people regard criticisms of brexit being a ramona, of being or trying get back in the and or trying to get back in the and i think it's realistic the bank of england talking about real economic that happened and i if

i can understand that if you love brexit it's not comfortable to hear those things that out loud but they remain true and therefore observing true impactful statements about doesn't mean that you're trying to bring down the country or you the government is just trying to reflect on what's actually happened, what it does. if james o'brien, what about saying figure? who do you think sank ? figure? who do you think sank? what is the reality of all of this? give us your thoughts. well, i think i think we've got to be clear about what brexit, is if you're going to blame something, you need to know what it is. and brexit simply it is. and brexit was simply a decision by the by the british people to leave the european that entails certain that by itself entails certain costs , leaving a customs union, costs, leaving a customs union, single market entails costs and disruption , the border. and we disruption, the border. and we all obviously always going to have those costs deal with. but what do you then do with that freedom, what you what kind of country you want to be is the is where the gains , where the where the gains, where the opportunities are so clearly if you and i think so suggested

this if you leave and then don't do anything to take the benefits and the opportunities then are obviously going to have only the disruptions and only the costs . disruptions and only the costs. but you've also got to look at the it's not just covid lockdowns. obviously, if you look at the global down. so as long as we did, you cannot expect to just simply stop back. you are going to have huge economic pain as a result of that. economic pain as a result of that . and obviously you've got that. and obviously you've got the ukraine war as well. but actually go back to well before . the even before the financial crisis, you know, really back to even thousand the uk has had a very big activity problem compared other countries and animals and a good point we don't benchmark ourselves to other countries we do things like so think we're going to have to move sadly because a lot of the you to say that because you're always very very insightful but we're running out of time so i've got to say thank

you very much to st shanker. he is the ceo commentary also. thank much to and thank you very much to and welcome tory minister and welcome former tory minister and rebecca reid just disappeared then to do a little breast feeding, i think. thank you so much, . you with and i'm much, guys. you with me and i'm over this is gb news on tv over here this is gb news on tv onune over here this is gb news on tv online and digital. already coming up, we'll continue our british this i'm british debate this hour. i'm asking, up with asking, are you fed up with everything blamed on everything being blamed on brexit thoughts of my brexit really the thoughts of my panel broadcasting? cundy panel broadcasting? lizzie cundy and, also political commentator sam download, but let's get the latest headlines . hello latest news headlines. hello there. it's 25 to 6. i'm out in there. it's 25 to 6. i'm out in the gb newsroom. the sister of a missing mother of, two has urged the public to keep an open and to keep searching for her. nicola billie went missing in lancashire last morning. officers investigate her disappearance, believe she into the river wyre while walking her dog but her sister louise insists there's no evidence whatsoever to support that theory . police say they are not theory. police say they are not treating disappearance as

also through nominal. people sick of brexit being used as an excuse for every nowadays. so for the great british debate this year i'm asking are you fed up of things being blamed on brexit to discuss that as well, come to my panel. broadcaster and columnist lizzie cundy also brought out some political commentators, lizzie commentators, dowler, lizzie cundy , so brexit. of course cundy, so brexit. so of course in chelsea loss that's brexit as well as well. i mean, everyone blaming brexit for everything and there is no evidence that brexit has a negative impact on the uk . you cannot your head the uk. you cannot your head should be like shake it, shake it, not know that the uk , let's it, not know that the uk, let's remember we're at war, which has cost us millions illegal immigrants costing us millions. we've had covid which has cost us millions. we had costs disastrous astronomical but disastrous astronomical but disastrous costing us billions. and with everything else and furloughing which i rishi for

and all the fraudulent claims which has cost this country dearly. so let's not blame brexit for everything which i know you about to do so . no, i'm know you about to do so. no, i'm not about to banks for everything. but let's not sugarcoat the fact that . you sugarcoat the fact that. you know, the brexit was based on lies but there was there was you know it there was a tiny fine line between between leave and remain and the whole, you know , remain and the whole, you know, bust 350 million was it was lies and it pushed and it pushed us the line into asking for brexit. and 57% is the average of polls of people in the uk that wish we hadnt of people in the uk that wish we hadn't done it. no. well i don't know why they took those polls from. listen, did you get that? i think some people i spoke who voted for brexit don't haven't changed their minds. often changed their minds. you often hear these are these hear a lot of these are these stations pick the random person to of change mind since the brexit referendum. but frankly everybody and everybody i speak to hasn't and i think we are annoyed i think what we are annoyed about, i'm annoyed is about, what i'm annoyed about is the the the neolithic incompetence, the actual has been handled with by

the current people in government. they've not taken advantage any the advantage of any of the opportunities . not not opportunities. i'm not i'm not with the brexit. what about with the brexit. what i'm about is way been handled . is the way it's been handled. our we gave the our politicians who we gave the power happy power to, but i'm not happy with. been mismanage , but with. we've been mismanage, but we cannot forget that we have. we cannot forget that we, g7 country that is we, the only g7 country that is to have an economy that shrinks in 2023. we don't have to go through every country to , have through every country to, have a decision made. we can make our own minds up. and let's not forget boris do brexit. he did do brexit, didn't plan already, but sadly the tories forgot to put the other often left in the ovenin put the other often left in the oven in a boat for centuries have not delivered as from leaving, and it's a botched exit where the sales haven't materially rise. for example, so many trade deals we were getting with the sorry, this isn't blah blah blah. so can i speak? it's a botched tory brexit and i'm afraid , say the globalists are afraid, say the globalists are now in control and are moving now in control and are moving now even nearer closer to the eu. is think it's a betrayal . it

eu. is think it's a betrayal. it was the people's vote . i mean was the people's vote. i mean what what do you i mean, did you vote for brexit or did you vote to remain a. no? i voted to remain absolutely right in the morning. but why? why? because a lot of people voted the reason i voted to leave and tell you voted to leave and i'll tell you that because i didn't the that was because i didn't the fact wages going down fact that the wages going down so the amount of the influx of low skilled labour was coming in from the eu meant that the people who live in this country couldn't actually afford to accept these wages. so in the end, end up wages going end, you end up with wages going down, rise, rising, which end, you end up with wages going dca n, rise, rising, which end, you end up with wages going dca form rise, rising, which end, you end up with wages going dca form of rise, rising, which end, you end up with wages going dca form of inflation.|g, which end, you end up with wages going dca form of inflation. even1ich is a form of inflation. even though wasn't actually though inflation wasn't actually and afford and people couldn't afford to live. at the of live. yeah, but at the end of the day, i can carry with a few years ago germany our economy was nine to about 90% of what of what was and now it's what germany's was and now it's 75. we the we had the 75. we had the we had the protection, the bloc, we the protection, the bloc, we had the economic protection we've economic protection and. we've just c, and brexit just gone like c, c and brexit was a knife edge. and as i said, you know, it was pushed over the end by by lies and you know, and nothing has materialised. it's the trade deals haven't

materialised. no, no, no. our is as. you it's awful. as. but you said it's awful. listen you're what i think listen what you're what i think you're misinterpreting is that people brexit people didn't vote for brexit based what they were with based on what they were with regard that's not why regard to a bust. that's not why i for brexit. i've just i voted for brexit. i've just literally told why i voted literally told you why i voted yes. you know, and as a lot of people , me who voted for their people, me who voted for their own as well because the own reasons as well because the bus been the last, bus would have been the last, that have convinced that would have convinced anybody. they've anybody. yeah, but they've got to what into exactly to know what comes into exactly that stupid . people people i'm that stupid. people people i'm sorry but people they did know what it was about. they saw intelligent things as their own reasons why they object to brexit. and it was one of the biggest vote. and if you go against vote, you will have anarchy. people voted for brexit and the is we do want additional taxation raised pay to their taxation raised to pay to their own elected . don't even know who own elected. don't even know who they are and it's not unelected like when she sunak know . well, like when she sunak know. well, yeah, but i don't see any people colour or anything within that. it's no anything. it's just it's no mix anything. it's just a of people in europe a load of white people in europe making well, it does making decisions. well, it does what it looks like to me. unelected decisions for us
