in today's sunday telegraph. a fascinating article she wrote. i'm not claiming to be blameless what happened, but fundamentally i was not given a realistic to enact my policies by a very powerful economic coupled with lack of political support . she lack of political support. she goes on to write we've not done enough to make the arguments for a lower tax more direct related economy ever higher taxes and ever more restrictive regulatory and historically levels of state spending are the key underlying causes of our poor economic perform . she is, of course, perform. she is, of course, absolutely right. now, history will judge her communication skills in office harshly , but it skills in office harshly, but it will judge her message and her philosophy kindly. former us president ronald reagan, famous lee once joked the nine most terrifying in the english language are i'm from the

government and i'm here to help . when left unchecked , the state . when left unchecked, the state always grows with an insatiable appetite for the taxes of its citizens and control of their lives . if left unchecked , state lives. if left unchecked, state spreads like japanese in your garden . and history teaches us garden. and history teaches us that cutting it back is the mother all economic and political challenge is normally. it's a crisis that will see government reduce its footprint in our lives. after the economic chaos of seventies and early eighties , margaret thatcher eighties, margaret thatcher famously slashed taxes, tackled the unions and deregulated the economy, causing an economic boom. after the credit crunch in 2008 2009. the coalition government of 2010 embarked upon five years of what many called austerity. but what i call living within our means. to their credit, the budget deficit

reduced from 10% as a share of gdp to around 2% by the end of the decade. equipping us well for, the forthcoming economic crisis of covid. so how they achieve it? well, they reduced size of the public sector , which size of the public sector, which had ballooned under new labour. huge cuts , saw public sector huge cuts, saw public sector jobs disappear. so why didn't unemployment explode? well, because in that same 5.5 year period, a million new jobs were created in the private sector. over five years, a million new jobs created . the private jobs created. the private sector. the pandemic has undone all of that good work with an expanded , bloated public sector expanded, bloated public sector and an unprecedented expansion . and an unprecedented expansion. the state in our lives . the state in our lives. politicians famously dictating all movements during covid, stopping us from going out to work , masking our faces and work, masking our faces and pressurised us into vaccination . the messaging in particular

from furlough was catastrophic. normal lies the idea that the government will pay you to stay at home, bankrolling your life to the tune of 80% of your salary. this is created a population that thinks the government is responsible for their lives and their livelihoods . no, it ain't. it's livelihoods. no, it ain't. it's economic freak show and, mark my words, with the international markets already nervous about britain , if we carry on like britain, if we carry on like this will slide down the economic league table faster than. economic league table faster than . a holidaymaker at a water. than. a holidaymaker at a water. it's no exaggerate notion to say that we could be greece times ten. the pandemic has created a something for culture with the mail last month that more than 50% of brits. that's more than 50% of brits. that's more than 50% of brits receive more from the state in terms of benefit pensions and public services than they contribute in taxes . than they contribute in taxes. this according to a report by the think tank civitas . now this

the think tank civitas. now this dependent figure was just a third of the population under tony and even lower under thatcher. now it's half receiving than they contribute . receiving than they contribute. with a fast ageing population . with a fast ageing population. how's that going to play out in years to come as ? it stands, in years to come as? it stands, in my view, britain becoming a failing business model with millions of working age adults not active in economy and with 800,000 young people recently saying they think they may never get a job if left . a legacy of get a job if left. a legacy of debt decline beckons. the idea that the state can look after you from cradle to grave is a big lie. forget brexit, forget about liz truss is budget the elephant in the room is that the state is too big and we spend more than we've got . our economy more than we've got. our economy and our society needs a tough new culture in which it pays to

work and one in which it doesn't pay work and one in which it doesn't pay to sit at home on your watching. netflix and caning six packs of budweiser all san miguel. britain needs a dose of tough love if you don't like it. tough luck perhaps. liz truss was right all along . many thanks was right all along. many thanks to producer maria, by the way, for the ronald reagan mug from which i will be drinking all. what's your view . do you agree? what's your view. do you agree? do you disagree . is the state do you disagree. is the state now too big? is that the elephant in the room? does britain live beyond its means ? britain live beyond its means? we'll get to your thoughts shortly. but let's get the view now of my all star panel leading journalist and column nina mitchell of leader of ukip and former tory mp neil hamilton and best selling author and presenter emma wolf. emma, let me with you. does britain live beyond its means? yes, i think it does . i agree with you, mark, it does. i agree with you, mark, for once . i agree with you.

for once. i agree with you. i that we need to. i think the country needs to get back to work. i think london and the of the country have been completely sort of on half measures since since the pandemic. i think people are not people are not millions of are not economically or in employment or inactive. and i think we really, really need to get on with this. i think liz truss is making a very, very good point. i think she's obviously it's exciting to have some, some, some you know, things happening in again. boris johnson a few days ago giving his television interview and now liz truss last night with this bombshell article in the telegraph people have called it a 4000 word breakdown . yeah, i a 4000 word breakdown. yeah, i think she has a very, very good point indeed . we'll be point indeed. we'll be discussing whether sunak should bnng discussing whether sunak should bring liz truss back. that's going to be in company of edwina curry and ann widdecombe in just a few minutes time. but nina, ms. goff, we have and duties in

society, don't we, the privileges are safe streets have policing, education. we have the nhs , but we have duties as well nhs, but we have duties as well . that is to be active in the economy and to pay our taxes . economy and to pay our taxes. and at the moment half the population are failing to do that. i agree. i mean, that is a problem and are , i think one problem and are, i think one more 1.2 million jobs unfilled . more 1.2 million jobs unfilled. there are all sorts of people who are not within the economy. but you can't blame on the people themselves. you can't blame that on the state. and i think absolutely hilarious that liz truss has come out with this article. i mean, she the woman is deluded. i mean, for heaven's sake, blamed everybody but herself. i mean, she's she's so blinkered, she's so headstrong , blinkered, she's so headstrong, she's so incapable of listening to anybody else that she's that just blindly follows on. she is so convinced that she's absolutely right. i mean, she really tanked the economy year. i mean, she she was a completely

disastrous and. yet she's pretending if she's some kind of avenger angel, that she's come back to save us. i mean, this is just ridiculous . you know, i just ridiculous. you know, i accept your pushback on the liz truss situation . she does have a truss situation. she does have a case to answer for that poorly delivered, poorly communicate mini budget. but her point goes beyond her tenure of 44 days at number 10. nina i think britain has most likely been living beyond its means for about decades. well, we have, but you bet it will change. but at the moment we are dealing with the fallout , financial fallout of fallout, financial fallout of and the financial fallout from brexit. we are since brexit, our economy has shrunk by 5, which is equivalent. to economy has shrunk by 5, which is equivalent . to £120 billion economy has shrunk by 5, which is equivalent. to £120 billion a yean is equivalent. to £120 billion a year, not that's got to be paid for somehow . and it can't for somehow. and it can't necessarily conflate brexit with the pandemic, given the fact that the two issues dovetail to

make it inconclusive at this stage since brexit. that's happened and since brexit we've had a in which we shut the economy down. i mentioned that as well . i economy down. i mentioned that as well. i think i think give brexit a decade, but i accept what you've had to say. nina plenty will with you. others won't. neil hamilton, the elephant in the room is that the government, the state is too big. we live beyond our means. yeah, this is absolutely right. and of course, the reality is that tony blair is effectively still running the country because nothing has changed since was . prime minister, since blair was. prime minister, when labour took off the brakes on government spending in 2001. and then, you know, government spending went through the roof and this nothing tory administration has made no difference to that in the 12 years that it's been in office. in fact, because during the covid pandemic they went in the direction in spades and in a paying direction in spades and in a paying the whole country to sit at home and do nothing effectively for two years was inevitably going to have a

disastrous effect on the economy, the government deficit . this is going to be £100 billion with no prospect of that coming down. so unless we can get growth going, neil the clocks against us. would you shnnk clocks against us. would you shrink the size of the state? would you. would you have radical, radical austerity ? no, radical, radical austerity? no, i don't think we need austerity andifs i don't think we need austerity and it's a fantasy to think that you can do this in the short term. during the thatcher government, only way that the state was shrunk was relative to. a growing the size of a growing economy. and of course, thatcher did have a radical urge which is there's certainly no sign of a sunak administration. it's complete fantasy that this government is going to be radical in any shape. okay. well, there go. what's your view? market gb news dot uk coming in the news agenda. should labour go anti—woke to win the next and how soon should new mothers go back to work? my mob meets guest live in the studio, sir robert buckland. but next in the big question with ann widdecombe and edwina should rishi sunak bring back liz

truss. so you into .

well a reaction to my big opinion which i've got to say that page from digital team is currently crafting into a video which you can find on gb news on twitter at gb news. by the way, robert buckland mp is live in the studio as my meets guest at 10:00. can rishi sunak stop the boats? i'll be putting to him shortly. yes the uk needs to get people working . susan, in people working. susan, in response to my big opinion. if people get more working and less on benefits , things will improve on benefits, things will improve the childcare to be aimed at working people rather rather than ones staying at home. more people are taught how to live off the state citizens advice. it's easy not to work until dave. you have no choice. and

finally, stephen says trust only failed because she gave to in team rishi and his world forum handlers lost income, including this . yes, it's time for the big this. yes, it's time for the big in which we tackle a major news story of the day, making an explosive return to public life. liz truss has used an article in today's sunday telegraph to defend her actions as prime minister during her ill fated 44 days in charge, saying that was right to cut taxes and, go for growth. now given that the imf have predicted recession this yean have predicted recession this year, partly a result of higher tax , is has she been proved tax, is has she been proved right ? given that her message right? given that her message about shrinking size of the state is deeply conservative, one and given the fact that she wants to make the economy more lean and efficient and make britain low tax haven for investment should she have a seat around the cabinet table?

so that's tonight's big question. should rishi sunak bnng question. should rishi sunak bring back liz truss. let's discuss this now with former conservative government minister and bestselling author ann widdecombe and another former conservative government minister and bestselling author. it's the clash , the titans, edwina currie clash, the titans, edwina currie . edwina, this is a very politician and cabinet minister who served in the treasury , the who served in the treasury, the foreign office and, the trade department. surely she has a contribution to make to public life . yeah, well, she got to be life. yeah, well, she got to be prime minister and turned out to be an absolute disaster. i mean, you know what? she's done over this weekend is wrong. she should be supporting the conservative minister. if she wants to criticise anybody and still wants to be politician. how about having a go at labour on the strikes? just big strikes on the strikes? just big strikes on monday which are going to cause an awful lot of pain and disruption would be a very, very good target . but instead she has good target. but instead she has to go and pound or just about

to go and pound orjust about everybody . and, you know, she's everybody. and, you know, she's fundamentally not understood what happened . i mean, she talks what happened. i mean, she talks about we need to make the arguments. nobody's making the arguments. nobody's making the arguments for growth . want. i arguments for growth. want. i agree. but if you're prime minister, you're in prime position to be able to do that. but she was hopeless, actually helpless when she opened her mouth . nothing came out. she mouth. nothing came out. she held fresh where she wouldn't take any questions . the press. take any questions. the press. i mean, you know, so her remedy actually going for growth , actually going for growth, cutting the taxes of the richest designed, i think ultimately to be really quite offensive to an awful lot of people . it wasn't awful lot of people. it wasn't going to go in way and she neven going to go in way and she never, ever understood it and she doesn't understand it. any better. now. now, for heaven's sake, don't put her anywhere near the cabinet ever. well, look, that's edwina curry not sitting on fence. ann widdecombe , the bottom line is that her

communication was found wanting as prime minister the execution of that mini budget was was poorly poorly delivered. however message was right. and surely that's voice that should be heard in cabinet low taxes and proper values . well, i would proper values. well, i would have rather, you know, it wouldn't just be liz truss who wouldn't just be liz truss who would make that voice heard . would make that voice heard. that voice should be regularly being heard around the table because low taxes , high growth because low taxes, high growth making us all those all good, sound tory policies. making us all those all good, sound tory policies . and it sound tory policies. and it takes a lot of believing that and not just cost, but if they all discuss, they're certainly not. now, do i think she should be in the cabinet? not at this juncture. no i think it would be too controversial. and it would be a diversion from the main business. but do i think a should be heard? yes and actually, one of the things that intrigued about that article was she said that she had not really

raised some of the for pensions was quite abstruse. when i read it. but hang on. you know she had all the advice of the treasury , i presume she had all treasury, i presume she had all the advice of the department. i presume if she didn't, then that is a very big question. what the dickens going on? well, indeed . dickens going on? well, indeed. and this is the hand of the blob at work, widdecombe, because she said expressly the sunday telegraph article that nobody mentions this issue about pensions . her including civil pensions. her including civil servants . well, i mean, it just servants. well, i mean, it just seems to me totally extraordinary. i you know, i have no time what is now called the blob . and i think there are the blob. and i think there are some very good civil servants. i deau some very good civil servants. i dealt with good civil servants in my time. i also dealt with the other sort. but i do think that the establishment is now following a very one sided

policy and going one direction and. therefore, i don't have time for what is disparagingly called the blob. but what do know is and edwina knows as well is how government works. it is just be comprehension that . she just be comprehension that. she wasn't briefed on that particular likely result of the policy that she was implementing and she doesn't deny in this article that that was a mass if massive stumbling block when it came to actually the policy taking off. she doesn't you know she she doesn't disguise that i don't understand it and what i'm asking is how how was she not told all that. well, the chancellor kwasi kwarteng how he not how all that edwina curry was , the defence creation of liz was, the defence creation of liz truss orchestrated by the left

within government . no, no, no , within government. no, no, no, no. it was the whole country going oh, my god, let's get rid of it. because she is a disaster. i'm and i have both been ministers and if you're prepared using something that's quite different you, one of the things you do is a bit of war game and you say to your senior advisers, your civil servants and everyone , what can go wrong and everyone, what can go wrong 7 and everyone, what can go wrong ? what can go wrong? tell me, what can wrong? you know, we are making assumptions here about how to improve things how to make things happen . and it's make things happen. and it's plain there's anything but liz truss, it never occurred to her say to the senior people in the treasury or to the obe all whom they didn't consult all the bank of england, what can go wrong with because they would with this? because they would have been told very, very quickly and that it's plain as anything that she wasn't interested in negative comments that much actually delay this now as we need to hear this voice from the current cabinet . voice from the current cabinet. i agree and i would counsel my sources tell you tell me that

march the 15th, which is the date of the budget, the spring budget will be bringing forward quite radical changes. budget will be bringing forward quite radical changes . and we quite radical changes. and we will see some ideas will help with growth. they won't be ones and they won't upset markets. and i think they would be very, very welcome and hopefully start to work as soon as possible . let to work as soon as possible. let me quote from today's article in the sunday times. this piece authored by liz truss, edwina , authored by liz truss, edwina, ever higher taxes and ever more restrictive regulatory regime and historically levels of state spending are the key underlying causes of our poor economic performance . i'll put it to you, performance. i'll put it to you, notwithstanding the poor delivery and communication around the mini budget . she's around the mini budget. she's the first prime minister in decades. perhaps since thatcher to do about those problems . but to do about those problems. but we're also coming of two years of covid, which has caused sorts of covid, which has caused sorts

of damage which you perfectly adequately describe . plus, adequately describe. plus, there's a war on in ukraine. and you can't you can't just switch into being optimist it can positive and cutting taxes in those circumstances you actually have to handle it with a good deal have to handle it with a good deal. finesse. i'm finished is not something that liz truss is ever ever in her entire career in politics i've been associated with . so she'd be the worst with. so she'd be the worst possible for anyone in the cabinet. the people we've got there now, i think are very better at it. and yes i hope that we will see taxes come down. but secularly because, you know, they really are a pain to an awful lot of people but we have an ageing population that needs more public services. that's why we have more now. we're getting more from the state than are paying back. it's one of the factors you can't ignore. and i suppose well pensioners for a very long time and you mark and your generation you're paying for and as a result of that can't quite do

the calculations that we did 40 years ago where margaret thatcher into power . well and thatcher into power. well and edwina let me tell you you're worth every penny and you don't like a pair of teenagers to me. and we took a final thoughts on this, liz truss was a proper conserver tive and she's out. what does that tell us about the current political system now she is a proper conservative and she felt and i think she did look. i think that's quite true. i mean, think that's quite true. i mean, think finesses is very, very foreign to liz. but a basic philosophy. she was right and above all it was conservative. and that is why the party members in the country voted for the parliamentarians deeply resented that they voted for her because the philosophy and what she wanted to do right. and i don't want that voice lost. i really don't. i think it would be wrong to bring it back into the cabinet for all sorts of opfics the cabinet for all sorts of optics as they call it, but i do

want that voice heard and i hope she writes some more. my thanks to two former big hitters from the world of politics, two of the world of politics, two of the best known former politicians, the country they've reinvented themselves as authors and tv person and welcome regulars here gb news and mark dolan tonight. my thanks to edwina currie and, ann widdecombe. now we asked you on twitter whether rishi sunak should bring back liz truss a of 50. i'm not good at maths, thank god. i'm not chancellor. 54.8. so just over half said no. 45.2, which i think is quite a big figure. say her back. keep those emails market. gbnews.uk my mark means guest live in the studio . means guest live in the studio. sir robert buckland . he of sir robert buckland. he of course, is a top lawyer. sir robert buckland. he of course, is a top lawyer . well, course, is a top lawyer. well, former justice secretary rishi sunak wants to stop the boats, possibly getting rid of european court of human rights legislation within the uk . can legislation within the uk. can rishi stop the boats? we'll

discuss that with sir robert buckland and it's the subject of my take at ten shortly. we've also got the papers at 1030 sharp with full panel reaction. but next, we'll be speaking the forensic expert who's now leading the search for the missing mother of two, nicola bulli.

that's let's get more on the very worrying story . nicola let's get more on the very worrying story. nicola bulli, the 45 year old mother of two, was last seen walking her dog next to the river. wyre in st michael's on wye in lancashire. nine days ago. her phone was found on a bench nearby a river and her dog was discovered a nearby park. but there have been no sightings of her since. police believe she may have fallen into the river. joining me now is forensic peter folding . his company, specialist group

international oil, are now leading the search for nicola after developments today. peter, thank you very for joining us. what we know so far, peter . what we know so far, peter. well, the only information got, mark, is that she was mobile phone found by the river along with a dog harness. so the police have no concrete evidence of where we are . as with any of where we are. as with any friend over forensic , by the friend over forensic, by the way, you know, forensic scientists are the i specialise in search the idea is that they are putting all their resources down to the river. but in the background out there will be lots of other work going on that the police are conducting. looking at cctv cameras. so it's not just the river that the police are working on. putting a huge effort in down with underwater search teams and other equipment as well . what's other equipment as well. what's happened today ? pizza. have happened today? pizza. have there been any developments today ? not that i know of. the

today? not that i know of. the police are continuing to search, but we offered up help free of charge . and i'll say to send my charge. and i'll say to send my team . we specialise, we carry team. we specialise, we carry out all the police diving operations for the whole of south of england. so we have a we have a dive team, the same as the police plus, a lot of high tech equipment specialist sonar that can assist in the search . that can assist in the search. you've obviously been allowed participate in this search your services and that of your colleagues have been welcomed by the authorities. is that significant that you're on board as ? well. i mean, that's what we as? well. i mean, that's what we do. we we're always on board, but that's normally of our area. we cover the southeast . we're we cover the southeast. we're working with the police all the time in search operations. but we offered our services because this a prolonged search . the this is a prolonged search. the police got a particularly police have got a particularly difficult job up there, and we have a specialist police equipment frequency equipment quarter by frequency side scan sonar that we have a very heart with each very high heart rate with each year , deal with a lot of year, deal with a lot of drownings . and normally drownings. and we normally locate victims the hour. locate the victims the hour. very, very quickly use of this

high tech kit . so we're taking high tech kit. so we're taking that along . plus, further divers that along. plus, further divers the same as the police to assist to get this long stretch of water so we can either confirm if nicola's there or deny it, and then resources can be tossed elsewhere. and why is it taken so long and could it be that this poor woman is in the river? is that a likely outcome . it's. is that a likely outcome. it's. it's a long shot, really . all it's a long shot, really. all they've got to go for at the moment, mark the phone and that that's the problem. it's not so easy to speculate . there's a lot easy to speculate. there's a lot of stuff flying around about all sorts of things. but that is all unked sorts of things. but that is all linked intelligence i've got of the actual phone by the river. so have get that search. so they have to get that search. but it's a huge operation. the police, divers can only search the as us with divers. you the same as us with divers. you know , hundred 50 metres a day. know, hundred 50 metres a day. so this is nine kilometres of river, whatever . so there's this river, whatever. so there's this peaks and troughs. there's it's a slow moving river. nicola have gonein a slow moving river. nicola have gone in the river. she wouldn't

have gone far because the river is not flood . and my experience is not flood. and my experience of dealing with these drowning victims they don't normally travel far. they often where they go down by they all there where they fall in a unless that's a really fast moving current which this is not. peter more power to you and your highly skilled team in getting some answers. it's a tragic story and obviously a very, very tough job for you and your colleagues, thanks to peter folding , his company, specialist folding, his company, specialist group international, folding, his company, specialist group international , they are group international, they are now part of the search . nicola. now part of the search. nicola. anyone has seen nicola or who has information about where she might be is asked to call 1 to 1, quoting log. five, six, five of january. the 30th. that's one one log, five, six five of january the 30th. and for immediate , please call 999. immediate, please call 999. we'll bring you more on that as

and when we get it. now, moving on to the seemingly trivial matter of but we need to talk about it. it never away. tuesday marked the year anniversary of britain's from the european union. last week, a survey found that 57% of britons were now in favour of rejoining the eu. so it begs the question has britain got brexit fatigue ? who better got brexit fatigue? who better to ask than the of ukip? neil hamilton . to ask than the of ukip? neil hamilton. neil. to ask than the of ukip? neil hamilton . neil. well, the hamilton. neil. well, the reality is that this government has made a complete hash of brexit. it's seven years now, not just three, seven years since we had the referendum result. we will be in in june. and absolutely nothing has been done to stop brexit. we're are only only in name a £2 billion a yean only only in name a £2 billion a year, no free movement , no year, no free movement, no single european army, no ever union. we're out. we are technically, but nothing has been done to chip away at the carapace of regulation that was imposed upon us by brussels,

much of which we opposed. when that legislation being discussed in the council of ministers . i in the council of ministers. i was a member of the council of ministers. bizarrely myself for two and a half years. so i was in that position of fighting britain's corner and losing because of the voting system . because of the voting system. you know what needs be you know, we know what needs be done reduce the burden of done to reduce the burden of regulation. it's not a case of throwing everything the baby throwing everything at the baby with bathwater what this with the bathwater. what this government has done is minuscule in comparison. government has done is minuscule in comparison . what we could do. in comparison. what we could do. yes, we don't . to pay the yes, we don't. to pay into the european budget people who european budget so people who want . will have to want to rejoin. will have to tell us where's the 20 billion going to come from that we would have to pay into the european budget this year if we were still members of it. so it's a lost opportunity . that's that lost opportunity. that's that thatis lost opportunity. that's that that is why i think it's been discredited for a lot of people. think that with all the problems in the background as a result of the government's disastrous policy on lockdowns, our covid which has wrecked the public and

brexit could have been partly an antidote to that . because if we antidote to that. because if we got the british economy growing again, because of the unnecessary regulations , we've unnecessary regulations, we've been forced to accept had been removed, we've done nothing in seven years to plan for this, let alone execute. that's the real tragedy of . a conservative real tragedy of. a conservative government didn't actually believe in brexit and overwhelmingly of course, tory mps in the last parliament were against brexit. and so this government will sunak was nominally in favour of brexit. he's the last person to deliver a radical outcome . i'm a proud a radical outcome. i'm a proud brit. i want brexit to succeed. but will there come a point where we have to write brexit off as a failure? will that moment come? well, brexit hasn't failed. we haven't tried it. that's the micro trying to make brexit because i want it to deliver britain. i don't want a democratic crisis . we go back in democratic crisis. we go back in and half the countries furious. well, brexit is about is this being able to take decisions for

itself, which it wasn't able to take inside the eu. but we can take inside the eu. but we can take decisions now. we can, we can. we can we can we can do trade deals with . anyone? trade deals with. anyone? where's us eu where's that? where's the us eu trade deal? where's india? we've got new zealand , got australia and new zealand, which is finally point nought, point 6% and going to come in in ten years time. this is all disaster. it's not a disaster. it is a complete. we have done some trade. what about the northern protocol? northern ireland protocol? exactly pitch exactly that's another pitch yet. well that have been yet. well that should have been sorted should have been sorted out. it should have been agreed. but you you cannot have agreed. but you you cannot have a hard in ireland. we want one. if the eu was going to a hard border, leave it up to them. but thing was, it was not it has not been sorted and we are financially worse off. we're not financially worse off. we're not financially we are fighting oven financially we are fighting over. the times time the sunday times today said that the newspapers at the time . well, newspapers at the time. well, i'm afraid i believe the sunday times i really do. 5% smaller equivalent an annual loss of £120 billion is a fact. there

are other ways. there are other ways . no, this are other ways. there are other ways. no, this is are other ways. there are other ways . no, this is resolutely ways. no, this is resolutely down to brexit the fact that we put our economy in the freeze for the past two. three is. so other economies. so have other economies. they're up the spout as well. but not too much is going to be the worst performing of any economy. arguing ever. arguing with itself . ever since arguing with itself. ever since 2016, i, i agree with neil. there were i'm with you, mark. there were i'm with you, mark. there were i'm with you, mark. there were huge opportunities. and as a proud boy i want brexit to succeed . but it's been and we to succeed. but it's been and we haven't seen of the benefits and basically in the last six or seven years it is seven years now since 26. you proud brit? but it's not britain that wanted . brexit 52% voted it. let's break down it was the english the scots voted against it. northern ireland didn't want totally whatever concerns were united. it's not in the united

kingdom wales only voted for it because of the british land and those things welsh viewers know. so i'm a welshman myself. so it is the english outside of london who voted for it. the idea of we hashing this whole debate is not it? i'm just you talk about britain wanting brexit i'm just trying to say that, nina, like everyone on this show, is entitled to her view. what is yours mark gbnews.uk have got brexit fatigue. i haven't and i voted remain. i'm confident will succeed. so governor , please succeed. so governor, please crack on coming up. it might take a ten. finally, a prime minister who's serious stopping the boats. rishi sunak is showing surprise, courage , showing surprise, courage, threatening to axe the hated european court of human rights. but next, should labour go anti—woke to win the next election? i'll speak a top election? i'll speak to a top labour insider. see you .

in three. well, how this in reaction to my big opinion, josh says hi, mark. i that liz truss is a prime example what happens when radical change attempted. she is a true conservative but of course that was not favoured by. a left leaning economy . thank a left leaning economy. thank you for that, josh. keep those opinions coming. have you got brexit fatigue? i don't i voted remain and don't have brexit fatigue. but i want the government to crack on and its potential. this from alan. alan evening. how are you? alan says hi mark. the country will no chance under labour red wall. voters will not buy. starmer does not and not ever accept brex it. and mary says mark, i don't know where the poll was done, but no one i know who voted has changed their minds. thank god we haven't had to adopt. thank god we haven't had to adopt . the seven k plus laws adopt. the seven k plus laws that the eu has enforced since

we left . mary, thank you for we left. mary, thank you for that. keep those emails coming. mark at gb news uk. now ask nicholas sturgeon's premiership is rocked by huge public anger in relation to her new self—identified asian laws in relation to trans, which has seen a male double rapist to identify as female accommodate in a women's prison. identify as female accommodate in a women's prison . so in that in a women's prison. so in that context , the political damage context, the political damage she has suffered. should labour rethink so—called woke or progressive policies themselves selves if they want to achieve power ? their leader, sir keir power? their leader, sir keir starmer himself faced criticism in a tv interview in which . he in a tv interview in which. he struggled to say what defines woman and suggested that saying only women have a cervix , a only women have a cervix, a problematic sentence and something you shouldn't say . sir something you shouldn't say. sir keir also divided opinion when he posed for this photograph with his deputy, angela rayner is . the image taking the

with his deputy, angela rayner is. the image taking the knee with his deputy, angela rayner is . the image taking the knee in is. the image taking the knee in the light of the murder of george floyd. the united states and the guardian newspaper reported the labour's successful former leader and three times prime minister tony blair advised . keir starmer in may of advised. keir starmer in may of last year to i quote drop woke politics and focus the economy. so should he do just that? as many are becoming sick of stifling correctness. do the culture wars matter more than labour really ? and could they be labour really? and could they be the difference between the keys to number 10 or not? to discuss this, i'm delighted to welcome labour councillor and leader of the labour group in ashford, brendon chilton . i forgot to brendon chilton. i forgot to mention good friend the show as well. hi brendon . good evening, well. hi brendon. good evening, mark. good to see you . great to mark. good to see you. great to see you back on the programme. is tony blair right that labour should ditch the woke stuff , should ditch the woke stuff, concentrate on the economy . mark concentrate on the economy. mark tony blair is always right. he was. he was right. if was right

last year. and i think the party has listened to advice. i think one thing that keir starmer , one thing that keir starmer, rachel reeves have done very well over the course of the past year been an absolute relentless focus on the state of the economy . i focus on the state of the economy. i know focus on the state of the economy . i know the government economy. i know the government continue to that inflation has caused by the war. ukraine actually we had high inflation before the war in ukraine. we had queues at the pumps of petrol before the war in ukraine when we had a conservative government and we also had soaring energy before the war in ukraine. the war in ukraine hasn't helped, but it has not been the primary cause of the mess we're in. primary cause has been, unfortunately , 12 years of been, unfortunately, 12 years of stagnant growth under successive concerted governments where the uk economy has had pathetic levels of productivity increases. which is why we are increases. which is why we are in the mess we're in now. we haven't gone growth . we debated haven't gone growth. we debated earlier in the program response to my big opinion.

earlier in the program response to my big opinion . the state is to my big opinion. the state is now too big. you'll be well aware of that . that research aware of that. that research coming out of vitesse last week, the think tank who suggested that over 50% of the public now receive in benefits and services than they contribute taxes. will labour also concede now state is too big and it's not about money. i think so. i think, of course , one of the reasons the course, one of the reasons the state exploded in its size, particularly over the past few years, is because obviously we had those enforced lockdowns where the government was paying for everything from your salary to the eat out to help out scheme , of course it's not scheme, of course it's not healthy to have a government taking more of the revenues from the country than individuals and. but again, in to ensure that there is more in people's pockets and in the hands of businesses, we need to get our economy growing and at the moment. it simply isn't . and moment. it simply isn't. and thatis moment. it simply isn't. and

that is because for a whole range reasons, we have the highest levels of taxation since the war. the government hasn't got rid of those unnecessary regulations . they keep saying regulations. they keep saying they're going to do it. they've been saying for three years they yet to actually do it. and of course, we've done nothing on our strategy. this our strategy. and this government got rid of the industrial strategy to boost manufacturing and growth . if the manufacturing and growth. if the government paid attention to those things, we might be in a better position than we are now. brenda is keir starmer serious about getting rid of the woke ? about getting rid of the woke? to paraphrase tony blair when he has his own mp, rosie duffield not supporting her, she was harangued in parliament two weeks ago by. a fellow member parliament from the labour party, the labour benches. lloyd russell moyle no support for rosie duffield who simply stands the principle that men are men and women are women. think the way rosie does it and not just

rosie duffield. in fact, the way that particular mp treated other mps in the house of commons, mostly women and babies, was atrocious . i think members from atrocious. i think members from , all parties, including the labour party , should be able to labour party, should be able to express opinions in parliament, fear of abuse in terms of whether not the labour party needs to take a firmer line on this . needs to take a firmer line on this. unclear as i think shadow health secretary once said , men health secretary once said, men have foetuses, women don't. that is what defines gender. and if the labour were so. yeah. and i and i'm not here to interrupt you, but but you know, you've obviously know you're saying what most people but we never hear keir starmer say that . i hear keir starmer say that. i think of course i think one of the things care is trying to do and i can understand is there are a group of people , our are a group of people, our society, a very, very small group people in the trans who are going through all sorts of things. they believe that one gender when they're another ,

gender when they're another, they're transitioning. it's a very complex and i think someone that wants to be prime minister, what he's trying do is speak to the whole nation, including that small minor issue of people who have a small minority maybe if he becomes prime minister, he will also be their prime minister and so i think he's trying to tread a very difficult on this. if you and i could far more frank on these issues, because we're not running to be prime minister. but keir is. however, i think one thing that was very important was that week, of course, he did along that group, russia, that very oppose the scottish or trans they're going into a women's lobby to have you on will speak again soon it might it ten. can sunak stop the boats . i think he sunak stop the boats. i think he can. that's .

next it's 10:00. next it's10:00. and this mark dolan it's 10:00. and this mark dolan tonight in my take at ten in just a moment. finally a minister who is serious stopping the boats. rishi sunak is showing surprise courage by threatening to axe the hated court of human . my meat guest is court of human. my meat guest is distinguished conservative mp and former justice secretary. sir robert buckland in the news agenda with my panel. when should new go back to work and? is it unsophisticated to ask for a doggy bag for your leftovers? plus tomorrow's papers at exactly 1030 sharp. lots to get through , including that take at through, including that take at ten cannes rishi sunak stop the boats first. the headlines with our own armstrong . hello, i'm our own armstrong. hello, i'm out armstrong in the gb newsroom a private underwater rescue company . join the search for

company. join the search for nicola berlioz . images of the nicola berlioz. images of the missing mother of two have been released. the specialist diving company sgi will assist police searching the river wyre after offering its services free charge. it comes hours after the first images of nicola, the day she disappeared were released by family. lancashire police believe she fell into the river but sgi chief executive folding says that may not be the. a huge operation the police divers can only search the same as us with divers. you know 150 metres a day. so this is nine kilometres of river, whatever. so there's this peaks and troughs. there's it's a slow moving river. nicola gonein it's a slow moving river. nicola gone in the river. she wouldn't gone in the river. she wouldn't gone far because the river is slopped. and my spirits are drained. dealing with these victims. they don't normally far, but they often where they go down, right? they are there where they in. the metropolitan

some entertainment along the way. but first, my take it . ten way. but first, my take it. ten well to thank. it's the prime minister sunak is serious about sinking the business model of evil criminal gangs who traffic people across the channel sunak a five point plan which includes halving inflation boosting growth and sorting the nhs . growth and sorting the nhs. culminates in arguably his challenge to stop the boats. but he looks be serious with a plan to introduce legislation which will see deportation of anybody who does not face danger in their own country . that would, their own country. that would, for example, resolve the issue of albanians illegal illegally entering britain, even though albania hasn't seen war for a quarter of a century. many still enter country and they claim refuge status too long that

recent governments, including that of boris johnson were happy be seen to do something about the migrant crisis by for example, the rwanda but without having the political and legal teeth to actually see it through window dressing wouldn't seem to satisfy our current pm, who told the sunday times in an explosive article that he's considering tearing the legal rulebook and taking britain out the european convention on human . if convention on human. if britain's efforts to stop crossings of up to 1000 people a day are thwarted by the european courts . now, if day are thwarted by the european courts. now, if sunak day are thwarted by the european courts . now, if sunak takes day are thwarted by the european courts. now, if sunak takes out of the european on human rights, let me tell you there will be the mother of all ups and no smaller amounts of pole clutching from the left . britain clutching from the left. britain will be cast as an international nemesis and right on politicians and loophole lawyers here who have been helping these

gangsters game . the system for gangsters game. the system for years will be up in arms. last week on this channel, i posed the question whether sunak has the question whether sunak has the political backbone to see through his five point plan. we now have black and white proof he certainly does. the report today that if he takes britain out of the european convention , out of the european convention, human rights, a disastrous agreement courtesy of tony blair, 1999, then sunak respond to push back from the courts and the political and media elites by making it a central plank of his 2024 election manifesto . his 2024 election manifesto. with this extraordinarily move, sunak will be able to claim to be the only polities that has a serious plan to put unscrupulous criminals of business and to end the illegal crossings, which be clear already humanitarian , clear already humanitarian, societal, economic and national security. disaster it won't

happen overnight, but if sunak stops the boats, there'll be no stopping him . stop the boats . stopping him. stop the boats. win some votes. that's my view. but what do you think? market i'll be asking a formerjustice robert buckland live in a studio whether in legal terms sunak can stop the boats but first let's get the reaction of my all star top journalist and columnist nina gough, leader of ukip , nina gough, leader of ukip, former tory mp neil hamilton and bestselling author and presenter emma wolf . bestselling author and presenter emma wolf. neil hamilton sunak wants to stop boats and it looks like he's serious. of course he's not serious. if you look at the story in the sunday times, it's just some government spin doctor saying, oh, well , if the doctor saying, oh, well, if the european courts in the way of this legislation that they're putting through , then we'll putting through, then we'll think leaving the aca after the

next general action. well, i don't think mr. sunak will be any position to do anything after the next general election, because he won't be prime minister any longer. so this is just nonsense. and i think we should we shouldn't even be discussing this because they have intention whatsoever of have no intention whatsoever of leaving the european convention on human rights while the council of europe and so it's just an attempt to that they are going do something whereas in fact they aren't at all that's in this proposed legislation they could do. it doesn't actually increase the powers of the british government to control our borders because the arbiters of that will be the judges in the european of human rights who come from places azerbaijan or san marino , azerbaijan or san marino, andorra. you know , this is what andorra. you know, this is what we're talking about. this is the reality yes, of course, we should get out of the european convention on human rights and replace with own bill of replace it with our own bill of rights, protect the rights and freedoms own country. but freedoms of our own country. but it's politicians who should

it's our politicians who should ultimately take the political decisions, whether in a conflict of interest, whether it's, for example , the conflict between example, the conflict between british national security and the rights of terrorists or the rights of prisoners on voting and so on. these are not decisions that should be taken. anonymous foreign judges. these are decisions should be taken by politicians that elect and politicians that we elect and then out. if we don't what then throw out. if we don't what they do and say. and emma wolf, they do and say. and emma wolf, the migrant crossings sometimes a thousand a day is unacceptable to most brits and we are a tolerance and welcoming country but but not the manner of those crossings every day which is part of evil business model human trafficking. so sunak's right to push for a and don't you think could be a game changer politically for him if he makes it a central plank of his 2024 manifesto that the courts and other politicians want to stop him stopping the boats . yeah it would be a very boats. yeah it would be a very popular move and i think we are

welcoming , we are very generous welcoming, we are very generous country. we have a lot in foreign aid. whenever there are crises, you know, the british people put hands into their pockets. we welcoming and we pockets. we are welcoming and we are hospitable country. but are a hospitable country. but the fact is, these crossings are not safe. they're going up, what, 50% on last year's numbers, 60. i think if you look back to 2021, a couple of opfions back to 2021, a couple of options being discussed apparently rishi sunak all this of not being able to appeal, know being deported first and then appealing from the place which you are to. to me this kind of stuff. sounds absolutely sensible. whether or not they would actually lead the charge on this over this , i very much on this over this, i very much doubt. on this over this, i very much doubt . but i on this over this, i very much doubt. but i think rishi sunak if he's genuine about this, is finally showing a little bit of backbone. finally showing a little bit of backbone . well, i think so, nina backbone. well, i think so, nina off. it's a headache for labour because . if sunak gets a grip on because. if sunak gets a grip on the migrant crisis and is willing to test the law in getting a grip on it, then he could win the next election. i very much doubt a cynic will win

the next election. i'm the thing is, you know, the eci are you know was proposed by winston churchill was his idea and it was drawn up mostly by british lawyers. and here we are decades later ditching it for some kind of can just as a convenience you know or an inconvenient sorry the thing is well we're not ditching it. well trying to do it and we won't. well you say we won't, but the point being that because we not have a proper system we do not have a legal way, we do not have somewhere in france people can go to and say, can i come to the uk because we do not have that sort of system it makes it really and if we had a home office that was fit for purpose, that could process people quickly, then we would then we would be in with a chance. but this, these, you know, these process arrangements are taking, you know, months and, months and years, you know , people can't work. nina, you have to tackle the issue of supply you have to break the business model . why it that

business model. why was it that it was a european that blocked the rwanda plan , which would be the rwanda plan, which would be a disincentive to these gangsters? is an inhumane gangsters? that is an inhumane plan. you have to have humanity, you have to supreme court of our country decided that it wasn't . country decided that it wasn't. why should some unelected . i why should some unelected. i know a debate official of the european day decide overrule what they decided was not illegal. i'm saying inhumane in campaign. i agree we are we are a very , very, very philanthropic a very, very, very philanthropic society and generous to you something that, you know, like children in you know, we raise millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and those same would think sending people off to rwanda is inhumane even if it is safe. you know, you say that you say that so glibly it is absolutely, completely matter of fact. well, look what went on 20 years ago in rwanda. i mean, two years ago in rwanda. i mean, two years ago in rwanda. i mean, two years ago is different. it is not that same country. it is the country. it is. it is by

different governors. there's a government you call it a government you call it a government is a government. and there in the commonwealth, there's absolutely the members of the commonwealth and there are there brutal are some there are some brutal people are of the people who are who are of the commonwealth. you cannot the commonwealth. you cannot say the commonwealth, some shiny organisation that has okay with, with, with with fabulous people like saying is the same like saying germany is the same country in the 1940s it is now. well i tell something i don't think of what? think need a mask of what? having summer in rwanda having summer holidays in rwanda . is your view? mark . but so what is your view? mark gb news is .uk can rishi sunak stop the boats will he chuck out the european convention on human 7 the european convention on human ? let's ask a top lawyer after this. former secretary state for justice sir robert buckland . justice sir robert buckland. he's .

next it's next wsfime next it's time now for mock meets, in which i speak to the biggest names in the world of politics. showbiz sport and beyond. tonight, criminal barrister and former justice secretary boris johnson, sir robert buckland, kbe mp . sir robert was kbe mp. sir robert was previously solicitor general for england wales, having been appointed to that role by the then prime minister, david cameron. remember him and? he most recently served as secretary state for wales, which have been a proud moment given the fact that sir robert is a proud welshman. he's been the conservative of parliament for south swindon since 2010. and i'm delighted to say that, sir robert buckland, kbe ee mp joins me now. sir welcome to gb news. thank you, mark. thanks having me. a proud moment for you to be by the king. november of last yeah by the king. november of last year. and i believe you were his first man tonight. i was a great honour to have that particular distinction. and a great pleasure for me too be received by by our king and my parents were there as well. so it was

very special moment for me. and you are a proud welshman. i know you are a proud welshman. i know you weren't in post that long as well. well, secretary but that would have been a happy moment for you your. well, indeed for you and your. well, indeed it although it was. although i'm a representing i'm representing an english, i'm very a british politician very much a british politician and believe in our uk and and i believe in our uk and therefore it was big honour for me to serve. however briefly in that ways that office, in some ways perhaps i'm not to be perhaps i'm lucky not to be there yesterday because wales is starting not starting the nations. it's not been greatest a bit worried been the greatest a bit worried about their performance thus far so leave to my so i'll leave that to my successor to tough out. yeah indeed. come on wales. given the legal and diplomatic challenges, can rishi sunak stop the boats? well, i think he's proving through the detail that he's been examined and the announcements he's made that he's what it takes to stop the boats because the short headline is this this isn't no poetry in this. there's no grand sweeping answer to stop what is a practical problem. this is going to take hard graft. this is going to take work like the

bilateral oil deal that we need to do with albania to stop criminals coming here and exploiting, particularly young people country . that people in our country. that i think happen . and we need to think can happen. and we need to work on a country by country bafis work on a country by country basis to really eliminate source of this problem and. of course, tackle the criminality that this latest manifestation of illegal migration into the uk. yes. am i right in thinking no albanian should be entering the uk illegal and remaining. should be entering the uk illegal and remaining . well, in illegal and remaining. well, in a nutshell . i mean, illegal and remaining. well, in a nutshell. i mean, albania is a safe country . it's a european safe country. it's a european country . there has been strife country. there has been strife there for many, many you know, there's a whole range of other reasons underlying behaviour that we need to tackle on small boats is if you like the latest manifestation of what we had few years ago with lorries run by the suffocation incidents shocking , the government and the shocking, the government and the authorities dealt with that through heat seeking devices and other technology . you know, if other technology. you know, if we can end small boats , the we can end small boats, the reality is that we probably have drones or some sort of air based

incursion. you see, that's possible. well, look, i think these people who want to make money and there are desperate people out there who pay whatever into the uk , we whatever to get into the uk, we are facing organised criminality here and therefore our operation capacity has to be at tip top in order to deal with it and why i get a bit impatient about some of the arguments i hear about the european convention and about the law. i don't really think that that what is a really practical do you think the issue ditching are all sort of acknowledgement of that that law which is now in english statute you think that's a red herring ditching these are i think the complete red herring i mean in the last year wouldn't it allow us to ignore the rulings ? us to ignore the rulings? european courts? well, european rulings, unless they directly engage the uk are advisory only anyway. it's not like that. the eu court, which had a binding authority on anything to do with eu law in britain . it's

eu law in britain. it's a totally different type of court it's advisory. i was looking at the figures in the last year. the uk was found in breach of the convention only two times in the convention only two times in the year. russia, by .the way, 347 times. now that tells you really about the reach of this court. i think that it's its control is overplayed i think there's far too much cheap rhetoric. it let's focus upon what we can do to mystically here and also frankly you know when it comes to safe routes of passage if we can create in a of integrity through a british embassy , a high commission, then embassy, a high commission, then we can to those people who are taking those legitimate routes, what the hell are you on a boat? why are you coming into? our country. clearly the way when you've got the option of taking a safe . but those safe routes a safe. but those safe routes would not be on uk. oh no. crucially on the mainland. and i think , you know this point about think, you know this point about having appeals abroad, i was a minister who passed domestic legislation in order to allow that to happen back in 2016. it

was our domestic courts that actually that that was not possible. i think it's up so you right that we those issues and push things as far as we can but i think talk about withdrawal from a convention the british conservative lawyers wrote back in 1950 threatens to put us out in 1950 threatens to put us out in the same place as russia is on us by tony blair in 1999. well the human rights act, of course, was labour, the new labour creation . and now when labour creation. and now when i was little chance and justice secretary, i wanted to carry the manifesto commitment to reform and update that to make it really much more fit for purpose in the 2020s, the government's up with a bill of rights, which i think frankly a bit of a christmas street and all bells or whistles approach. i don't think we need let's use the common law of this country. let's use our parliament statute and let's create the right balance between the to have rights, but also the to protect us. so you don't see you don't see strasbourg as a potential

legal stumbling block to stopping the boats. fundamental look, cases will be brought and ultimately there might be a challenge takes takes us to strasbourg frankly looking at the number of where the uk's found in breach . i don't think found in breach. i don't think it's anything we should worry ourselves about to the extent that we should leave an institution that we helped create. and that's why i think wasting time and energy on talking about withdrawal is costing us time at expense of the practical solutions that i think rishi sunak has been focusing keen, keen to get to some other . focusing keen, keen to get to some other. but last point on this because it's very to many of viewers could we establish of my viewers could we establish the principle if you enter the country illegally , you will not country illegally, you will not receive asylum, which is something that has been hinted at by sunak. can that work at by rishi sunak. can that work legally ? that and legally? is that morally and politically and legally the right do? well, think right thing to do? well, i think already presumptions already we've got presumptions andindeedin already we've got presumptions and indeed in laws that we passed year when i was in government, we've already created presumptions created a lot of presumptions about illegal arrival at the method of arrival in the uk.

determining your status. i think that's fan tolerant country will always have room for people who are genuine victims of political and social persecution. that's our great tradition from the huguenots right through may into the modern era legally well they might be you wouldn't tar everyone with the same brush. yeah, there some cases yeah, there might be some cases that could be looked at. but you know, this is the point mark. i think people forward think if people come forward early why they're here, early and say why they're here, we can avoid this repeat application that we get application process that we get with people which just prolongs the agony and makes this a very drawn out process. but at the same time, we need more resources get on with these resources to get on with these cases through the cases and get them through the system. far more efficiently. by all accounts, you were a brilliant and reforming justice secretary, the then chair of the justice select committee , bob justice select committee, bob neil, said you'd been shabbily treated on departure from from the from the role. again i see no good reason for it at all he was doing a good job as justice secretary crucially understood the constitutional importance. the lord chancellor as a guardian of the justice system

and entirely to the prime and he was entirely to the prime minister. he's been minister. i think he's been shabbily treated, you said i mean, you've always been very dignified it since you left that office it doesn't seem from what i've read and what i understand , that it had much to do with my work that . and well you work you left that. and well you were replaced by dominic raab new i don't think has covered himself in glory in recent roles certainly among his employees. is he a vicious bully? should he stand down? well, look, there's an ongoing investigation into that. those matters i'm not going to comment about it on on a position to comment. i mean, dominic, a minister in the department with me i've not seen him in the department. he's a bit of a difficult boss. well, look, we've all heard what we've heard and we read the newspapers, but i'm to let due process take its course. you expect to that as lawyer? expect me to say that as lawyer? what i will about my time what i will say about my time that i'm very proud of fact that i'm very proud of the fact that i'm very proud of the fact that sentencing that we tightened sentencing law, increased the proportion law, we increased the proportion of in prison that serious

of time in prison that serious rapists and defined offenders serve . we really work work very serve. we really work work very hard to make sure that sentencing law made more sense . sentencing law made more sense. now it's not perfect, but i do think the two or so years i had at the department my knowledge of the criminal justice system, experience of it as a prosecutor and a defender meant that i was able to get on with the job and make those changes and. i wish that more time space that i'd had more time and space to with that , to to carry on with that, to support our police, to reform the system, to get those running well and make sure that people felt that the justice system actually meted out that fairness and justice, that this country has a great reputation for and which, you know, in recent years been under huge pressure, particularly with the covid crisis well affecting the courts and the way that they worked so unfinished for me, but a huge honour to have served the in those two years. i've got a few seconds. i'm sure that there's a chance you could re—enter the cabinet after the next but you'd need to win that election first.

what are the chances of rishi sunak achieving a majority in the next election . well, you the next election. well, you know, having been in many , mark, know, having been in many, mark, i've won and i've lost elections. i was in the 97 deluge. i won in 2010 and won in 2019. i think it's still all to play 2019. i think it's still all to play for. i am not convinced from my conversations, the doorstep which i have most weeks of my residents that they are yet on. keir starmer i don't think they see the substance that they need to convince them that they need to convince them that labour's for government. we've got a lot of work do as a conservative to , party convince conservative to, party convince the country that we are fit for the country that we are fit for the next five years. but i think it's all to play for and i think that election still there to be won. because you were you won. yes. because you were you supported sunak then you supported rishi sunak then you swapped liz truss, but swapped support liz truss, but are you supporting rishi again now ? well, look, i think we now? well, look, i think we should get behind leader now. it's important to conservative party unites is the prime minister. i think he's working well i think he's proving he can do the job and he's making the

right calls . he's somebody of right calls. he's somebody of integrity, is working and that's, i think, what the country needs this time of huge pressure on our economy, on our energy crisis. prices are on indeed are very secure, both in terms of defence food and energy and all the things that matter to the all of us who love country. always a pleasure to have a knight of the realm on the show. thank especially a welshman said my thanks you sir robert buckland mp . lots more to robert buckland mp. lots more to come including next up the papers with full panel reaction . steve shortly .

resistance to tax cuts from her own party but accused that supporters of the minister accused mistrust of trying to destabilise rishi sunak's government's case. let's go to the express . nicola's government's case. let's go to the express. nicola's family hurt by vile theories. the friends of nicola bully say vile theories shared online about the mother of two's disappearance are incredibly hurtful to her family. police have also taken the extraordinary step of condemning speculation about what may have happened to this mother of two. it will, of course, keep you updated on that. a really, really worrying story. dore cam pics of nicola. one hour later she vanished . one hour later she vanished. these are the final pictures of nicola body. before she disappeared, the were taken by a doorbell camera at her home in lancashire about an hour before she was last seen . she's shown she was last seen. she's shown putting her dog in the car before driving her kids to school on january the 27th. her partner said he will not

the arctic and put pressure on the arctic and put pressure on the national grid . time to bring the national grid. time to bring out those . let's now get out those. let's now get reaction . all of tomorrow's reaction. all of tomorrow's papers with neil hamilton, who is, of course , the leader of is, of course, the leader of ukip and a former conservative mp. we have broadcaster and writer emma wolff and fleet street legend , presenter and street legend, presenter and journalist, author. you name nina metcalfe. let's talk about this particularly shocking revelation. nina the daily mail. almost revelation. nina the daily mail. almos t £1,000,000 a day spent on almost £1,000,000 a day spent on private ambulances , taxis. for private ambulances, taxis. for patients, it's ridiculous. it's absolutely ridiculous . in absolutely ridiculous. in england alone are missing 47,000 nurses. they are leaving the service in. and you can't get new people . now, the government new people. now, the government is to blame because have not. they have just not sat down and negotiated properly. what the government seems to be doing is to kicking every strike down the road , the transport strike could road, the transport strike could have been fixed last summer, but

they put proper they have not put proper proposals the unions. so they have not put proper proposals the unions . so the proposals to the unions. so the idea is to kick it down the road so that the public get sick of them. well, the public not actually. the public mostly behind the strikers, and particularly in the case of the nurses . and the other thing is, nurses. and the other thing is, inofice nurses. and the other thing is, i notice that by kicking further down the road, they are taking from last year into next year. so they are saving money by just not negotiating. so you know, but that doesn't to say that the nhs shouldn't be better organised. this seems to me ridiculous. strike action is costing the nhs hundred thousand pounds a day , which is tangible pounds a day, which is tangible that the strikes are unethical. they are not unethical because the government should sort it up, because nhs is money that's going to impact health carers. but they , that's what they're but they, that's what they're saying, that's they're saying. well then they go on strike but they pertain. but the system is broken, the system needs to be fixed, the government needs to negotiate seriously . they don't

negotiate seriously. they don't come in % then they're not asking come in% then they're not asking for that. that's a negotiating thing . they've made it very thing. they've made it very clear in the couple of weeks that that figure . nowhere near that that figure. nowhere near that. no that. and scotland and wales negotiated and the strikes are off . so why doesn't why are off. so why doesn't why doesn't why does this pass paying doesn't why does this pass paying the bill? neil hamilton , paying the bill? neil hamilton, what's your reaction to this story ? the strikes mean that the story? the strikes mean that the nhs is having to use private health care providers, private ambulances and even taxis for patients . yeah, well, makes good patients. yeah, well, makes good sense and otherwise people wouldn't get treated by the government or the health trusts have got no choice . i personally have got no choice. i personally i'd be very happy to see a much involvement of the private sector , the health service. that sector, the health service. that may be part of the solution to our problems because we have this vast monolithic institution that has been unchanged for over 70 years, completely different world the 1940s when it was created it and no other country in europe has model like ours.

they've all got their but none of their problems the same sort of their problems the same sort of levels we got in this country. we need to get more money into health. so you should be and so we should be more european far as health is concerned, isn't one single european? well just health. it's not. but what i'm saying is that you can't have it both ways . you you can't have it both ways. you can't have it both ways. you can't have it both ways. you can't want to be of europe. and then and then european. you can have individual eu have the ideas of individual eu nafions have the ideas of individual eu nations states and they european health government, which germany would be then the european. we don't have in the european union. no, no, it doesn't have anything to do with the provision that's what you're saying is what have actually been saying that the government is running down health service. it's not running and running, getting more money. it's deliberately it run down so that private private companies can come and sit down at cost of £13,000. absolutely so billions into the nhs it's a completely inefficient managed system. the

corresponding , we understand one corresponding, we understand one at a time. neil more spent on health services in absolute terms pensions as a pence and as a proportion of our gdp than ever before. germany spends more on the health service than do. and so does france. yes, but theyitin and so does france. yes, but they it in different ways. and they it in different ways. and the problem with this fine. but you more than you could we spend more than anybody else because we don't put money into the nhs. what i if we are spending more than we have ever done before on health in this country, the government running this nonsense, what will the thing is you you you just put you put you just mentioned the elephant in the corner, which is privatisation . well, which is privatisation. well, emma , what's wrong with emma, what's wrong with privatisation. for heaven's sake. sector provides all sorts of things that are vital to our lives. food, for example and we're going to nationalised privatised . you would have the privatised. you would have the you would have the health service being run to make profits for the who have a fund and rest of europe has cobra and the rest of europe has cobra train train train service. our train services are run by adly to provide money for the people who

own it. they work much better on the national whether they the national rail, whether they will, certainly will, they services certainly ran and people could them the cost of getting a train in this country is outrageous . i cost of getting a train in this country is outrageous. i think recollections may vary , as the recollections may vary, as the queen once put it in another context, but i can remember british rail and it was not particularly efficient, but it didn't cost a fortune . it could didn't cost a fortune. it could be run, but we need to have more money into the into the, into the system into health. you're not going to be able to do that through taxation. so what we to do is have co—payment system such everywhere virtually such everywhere else virtually in other parts of the in in and in other parts of the world as well where it's a combination of private and pubuc combination of private and public provision . and that works public provision. and that works much better, is much more flexible and there isn't resistance that we've got in this country to spending the money because it doesn't have to come the taxpayer competing come from the taxpayer competing with things in the budget. with other things in the budget. emma wolf the strikes are costing the nhs just in one department, which is people in and out of hospital, department, which is people in and out of hospital , £400,000 a and out of hospital, £400,000 a day. that's the tip of . the

day. that's the tip of. the iceberg, half million. all these strikes by ambulance workers , strikes by ambulance workers, ambulance drivers and nurses . ambulance drivers and nurses. given the fact that it's likely to impact not just patient care, but possibly the loss of life. yes, people will die as a result of these strikes. and monday is the biggest this is the biggest strike day ever , the nhs. strike day ever, the nhs. absolutely shocking. and i think that people who go health care should be to be demanding 19% and need to make that demand and 19% of it. a bargaining position. it's bargaining position. it's bargaining position. and nobody expects 19. but even be talking about 19. i mean, you know , at a time when mean, you know, at a time when other people haven't had a pay increase for years, actually, i private sector, private and private sector, private and private sector, private and private sector . yes. and where private sector. yes. and where are soaring and when the entire country is having to tighten their belts to be demanding that kind of increase is absolutely . kind of increase is absolutely. they are not demanding that . but they are not demanding that. but they you know that we have an

independent system of pay negotiation, which the labour party introduced in the place in the health service to weigh up to the rights and wrongs of these pay negotiations. the next year's round is about to begin and i can't wait till next year. next year's round of negotiations. they've lost . i've negotiations. they've lost. i've lost out on any pay . i'm just lost out on any pay. i'm just sick of this myth that anybody who works in the nhs a hero. many of them wonderful people. absolutely but no, nina, i can say i'm not. they're here. i'm saying the most. most of them are people for whom it a vocation. many people that they are being taken advantage of because of that . taking because of that. taking advantage of it all they all for nurses. why? why are we. it's a vocation. any than someone who's stacking supermarket shelves. it's not because it takes a site . all it takes a. not just a job. like it's not just a job. like stacking shelves is a highly skilled job. and you have to be very dedicated to do it and i'm doubt very any of us

sitting here today this conversation will continue the break. sparks are flying of the times newspaper is in as well. that's after this .

well, quite a big reaction on email to. that front page of the system . make sure i get the system. make sure i get the right paper because i've got all the papers. by the way, a lot of liz truss in there, which is the topic of my big opinion, you can see on twitter at gb news courtesy of page from our digital team. but that's the daily no wonder nhs daily mail. no wonder the nhs can't demands. on day daily mail. no wonder the nhs can't biggest demands. on day daily mail. no wonder the nhs can't biggest evernands. on day daily mail. no wonder the nhs can't biggest ever strike, on day daily mail. no wonder the nhs can't biggest ever strike, the day of the biggest ever strike, the mail that service spends mail that health service spends £400,000 a day on private and taxis because the ambulance drivers are on strike for 100 grand a day. well helen says, i'm shocked at that figure. you mentioned. i ended up in southampton , in general,

mentioned. i ended up in southampton , in general , ten southampton, in general, ten years ago for nearly a week , i years ago for nearly a week, i was most surprised to be sent home 20 miles in a taxi . i had home 20 miles in a taxi. i had no one anywhere who could help or pick me up. and i hope you'll feeling much better now that you've recovered , we'll get to you've recovered, we'll get to more of your emails shortly. but we've got hot off the press times newspaper. now, let's have a look at that and the times lead unions accused of risking lives with ever nhs walkouts . lives with ever nhs walkouts. and delusional trusts will cost votes. tories fear sunak allies hits out as former pm plots a return . also a move to motorists return. also a move to motorists compare all fuel prices about time . let's get further reaction time. let's get further reaction now to tomorrow's papers with a journalist and columnist neil minkoff, the leader of ukip , minkoff, the leader of ukip, former tory mp neil hamilton and bestselling author and presenter
