8:08 pm
charisma before. you even think about it. but they've got to go to blair. if you exclude blair, then by the time of the next general election, it will have been almost half a century since a labour leader won a general election. other than, as i say, blair, i mean, who are they going to go to? oh yeah, he's a bit of callihan right there or a bit of callihan right there or a bit of callihan right there or a bit of inspiring will sit on the, you know, the sort of generation you next don't even know who you're talking about. they barely remember blair. but yeah charismatic ec yeah blair was charismatic ec and keir starmer hasn't got that sadly given that he's a barrister kings council but you'd expect bit more sort of you'd expect a bit more sort of umph. but i'm afraid he doesn't bnng umph. but i'm afraid he doesn't bring it, but looks like they're still anyway. what the still win anyway. by what the polls well, it seems polls are saying. well, it seems his for a little his camp for a little overoptimistic because there's talk of keir starmer planning not in not just first term in government but he's second term. i means that i'm i mean, that means that i'm going start planning my going to start planning my hot date with paris hilton. if you're planning two terms, it smacks a of neil kinnock and smacks a bit of neil kinnock and sheffield doesn't it? i think they'll be mindful of that. don't be doing
8:09 pm
don't think they'll be doing that. suspect they're just that. but i suspect they're just thinking, just don't thinking, listen, just don't mess just keep the focus mess it up. just keep the focus off we're what, 27 off because we're what, 27 points ahead in the polls ? you points ahead in the polls? you know, the funny thing is, even though they're that far ahead, it would still be technically a minority government in the sense that got more that they wouldn't have got more than of the british than 50% of the british electorate them. electorate for them. it's a wonderful sort perverse wonderful sort of perverse democracy where you democracy we've got where you will stomping majority if will have a stomping majority if they win on these poll figures, but they won't have they'll have basically more than half the people who won't have voted for them. fascinating stuff. alopecia is with for whole alopecia is with me for whole houn a alopecia is with me for whole hour. a treat. what do you hour. what a treat. what do you think? could keir starmer achieve the political achieved by tony blair? is it starmer? tony blair 2.0. let's get the view of sue in. good evening, sir. is loading sue up? she's putting a sherry down. hi, sue. how are you? i'm fine, thank you. you very well . great to you. you very well. great to have you back on the program and.cani have you back on the program and. can i just say, you look very gorgeous in your jewellery
8:10 pm
there. do you think that keir starmer is as solid gold as your necklace ? no my necklace isn't necklace? no my necklace isn't solid gold . stop no, it is. no, solid gold. stop no, it is. no, tony blair is so is such a bonng tony blair is so is such a boring speaker. you can't speak to an audience. ismail. ismail designed really to put people to sleep. that inspired them . it's sleep. that inspired them. it's policies very weak. no he doesn't follow them up with any information them he doesn't think them but getting rid of the lodge doesn't he doesn't think about implication that that stuff will the monarchy or looking at the competition that would then arrive if they rule elect the competition that would that between the commons and. well what is now lords or the second chamber. he doesn't think things through and i don't believe that she can actually go
8:11 pm
. being a staunch supporter of jeremy colby , the far left to jeremy colby, the far left to a quasi conservative within four years. everything he says now he will not stand by you will send gets into number 10. you'll do exactly opposite. i can't remember what he said last night because you'll say the opposing thing this week . so come to thing this week. so come to a statement you made last week . statement you made last week. he's got a very, very short memory and i don't think is to be trusted at all. however, sue, do you agree with our pitch that notwithstanding your misgivings , his lack of charisma, that all over by by the fighting that starmer wins the next election anyway ? not necessarily . i think anyway? not necessarily. i think if the if rishi sunak gets rid of the vote and they sort out the northern ireland protocol and then you actually look i mean i give you a list of people, you know, groups of people, you know, groups of
8:12 pm
people in the country you know, even though nobody really likes either of the main parties at the moment and i'm still staggered. but there are some good for voting conservative for each. you know, for instance like women women should vote conservative because labour will protect their their safe , easy. protect their their safe, easy. labour don't even know what a woman is, let alone anything else. and how taxpayers should pay ' else. and how taxpayers should pay , should, should vote pay, should, should vote conservative because that we can get rid of all these stupid fines for going into the middle of cities and saying this conservative councils are doing that and in the main it's all labour councils and aspirational parent should vote conservative because the labour want to take away this charity that is despite all these out of these schools doing charitable taking and putting vital you you know caused havoc in the in state sector but again he hasn't lived through you know hasn't seen the
8:13 pm
conclusion is that could happen so i don't think it's all over at all by any means. so i don't think it's all over at all by any means . all right. at all by any means. all right. well there you go see dropping some truth bombs . let's bring some truth bombs. let's bring fergus in woolwich . the fergus in woolwich. the conversation, it's mentioning, of course, that many people take the view that the tories have a horlicks of the economy and that it's labour's turn for power and also keir starmer would defend himself in terms of those so—called u—turns , given the so—called u—turns, given the fact that when he ran for leader of the labour party, all those years ago, we didn't have the pandemic, we didn't have the war in ukraine. let us speak to fergus . fergus is keir the new fergus. fergus is keir the new tony blair and can he achieve what blair which is to get moderate voters and tory voters to vote labour ? i think what he to vote labour? i think what he really is tony blair's 0.5 basically that it didn't suit every she covered so many things so well sue just now so yeah and
8:14 pm
there's this and there's this and this is and you think the iraq war and that was tony blair wanting to be a world leader a lot of the terrorism around the world comes out from that war. and he said when he was interviewed in the house of commons, well, at least we got rid of that one man. yeah. they also about 20,000. it was a horrible war, the weapons of mass destruction didn't exist. the man who was the most important investigative that ended up mysteriously dead in the woods, whether it was suicide or murder, i don't know. but he was dead in the woods. and tony blair was. education. education education. now, i train people in public speaking and presentation including some very senior executives and some fairly senior politicians, and i can't tell you who but. keir starmer. yes the devil's yeah. which was a clever thing. he still won. why all we had against him was john major. it's very easy to beat john major, if
8:15 pm
you're tony blair. but it was all this we can take socialism into the mainstream into capitalism as to neil kinnock. but the problem is starmer i think hit it . but the problem is starmer i think hit it. he can't even say what the woman is or isn't and he was behind corbyn massively for years and suddenly he and someone says, i'm not being rude here, kind of woman have a penis well, that's not a fair question. no, he probably is quite a fair question. actually if he can't even be that forthright, tony blair probably would be and get away with it . would be and get away with it. but starmer is well, you could tell he's a or barrister and as i'm sure you know because i've heard it on your show hansard he's not they're not allowed put sir keir starmer in hansard as well he doesn't want his knighthood listed in the day. any words of the parliament of this country that is seriously unpleasant . think anyway, unpleasant. think anyway, i think. right. i think it's
8:16 pm
churlish. let's sue back and alopecia my saturday sidekick entrepreneur and broadcaster and i'll pass the million dollar question is setting aside keir starmer's perceived lack of charisma and is the platform all labour's policies enough to attract conservative voters ? has attract conservative voters? has he occupied the political centre ground in terms of his manifesto 7 ground in terms of his manifesto ? i read the document . it ground in terms of his manifesto ? i read the document. it was i think it's about two pages long and they know that they've just got to keep it light on detail so don't fall into any so they don't fall into any traps because they're so far ahead and. you see what ahead and. you can see what they're trying to do, get to that centre ground. i don't find it persuasive. i mean, is there anything point plan anything in that five point plan that scare the horses, as that will scare the horses, as it were, and worry aspirational people ? no, it's pretty bland. people? no, it's pretty bland. i mean, what are you going to disagree with? energy security , disagree with? energy security, no safer streets ? oh, no, i want no safer streets? oh, no, i want more unsafe streets . oh, when
8:17 pm
more unsafe streets. oh, when you say energy security , though. you say energy security, though. but this is the drive for britain to go zero net by 2030 and for government to invest taxpayers in flaky renewables that not worry you as an entrepreneur . alpecin there's no entrepreneur. alpecin there's no to it on both sides . both to it on both sides. both parties, major parties agreed that they're going to get to net zero to do our best. do you want the government's starting businesses? i think people that businesses? i think people that businesses should be people like, you know, yachting ministers. margaret ministers. i love the margaret phrase, the business of phrase, which is the business of government is not the government of business and true of business and never true a word i find myself on most evenings watching old videos not margaret case margaret thatcher just in case people think i've got some kind of actually ronald of kink, but actually ronald reagan and, there were there were policies from that era were many policies from that era which brought back, which need to be brought back, which need to be brought back, which stay the heck out of which just stay the heck out of the of the people and be as the way of the people and be as light touch as possible. now, we've got to an era where we think and labour believe this that they're the solution the answer to everything. well about just don't fiddle and just say
8:18 pm
we're actually going to try and stay out of the way of people and let them get on with it. by the way, we've got 47% of our energy from renewables. we're already pretty good the already pretty good on the renewables side and thank god we've there because we've got it from there because given with russia and given happening with russia and ukraine we weren't as affected as could have where we as could have been where we reliant on god forbid russian oil fungus in and sue in cheshire will back in the next part of the show. we're also going to hear later the program from andrew in dudley , susan in from andrew in dudley, susan in south wales and, others we're going to discuss a lot of issues with puffin. the publishers doing a crushing u—turn on their decision to alter the wording of roald dahl's works does mean the woke agenda is in decline and with food shortages already threatening our struggling . threatening our struggling. should we be growing more of our own food? should we go for food independence? but next up with the snp leadership candidate , the snp leadership candidate, kate forbes taking a beating from the media for her faith
8:19 pm
motivated takes on conscience . motivated takes on conscience. i'll be back with sue and fergus to ask, has britain become anti christian country and why aren't politicians allowed to be christians anymore. see you .
8:20 pm
8:21 pm
8:22 pm
in three phil welcome back to mark dolan tonight. we start with the people's hour in which i'm taking video calls and as the snp leader ship race hots up the practising candidate kate forbes has faced a backlash for her belief that marriage is between a man and a woman that she is against sex before marriage, standing by her religious views has seen fall behind in the competition to replace nicola sturgeon . but why should her sturgeon. but why should her christian faith be a disadvantage ? has britain become
8:23 pm
disadvantage? has britain become anti christian? and why can't politicians be christians anymore ? let's go back to fergus anymore? let's go back to fergus in woolwich . fergus what's your in woolwich. fergus what's your view? i'm bothered about how this young woman has been treated . termite. very much so. treated. termite. very much so. i mean, we both love calvin on your show. i'm pleased . calvin your show. i'm pleased. calvin robinson is of always writing to me, thanking me for the lights and everything on twitter. he's and everything on twitter. he's a bright bloke . he said the same a bright bloke. he said the same thing . his belief is the gay thing. his belief is the gay marriage and, the children out of wedlock. he's got his beliefs, which are personal . and beliefs, which are personal. and it's his feeling, which is fine . i've actually i've been fanatical student of religion for a very long time. and i'm very, very old. and if you go back the crusades, it was the christians who went to the holy and attacked the jews and the muslims that started the whole
8:24 pm
crisis that's been out there . crisis that's been out there. and it's a big story, a long story. but christianity was strong . and then it's suddenly strong. and then it's suddenly got this weakness . and the worst got this weakness. and the worst person you can talk is martin luther, not martin luther king. martin luther who , first of all, martin luther who, first of all, love the peasants. then he hated the peasants then. he loved jews and he hated the jews . a lot of and he hated the jews. a lot of the were from luther ism, which is horrible . and protestantism is horrible. and protestantism has been a sort of melange. henry the used it very nicely to get rid of his wife and get a new wife that was and he also pred new wife that was and he also ripped all the khasi jews down stole all the gold and spent it on himself. yeah so yeah that's protestantism. but please don't tell everybody a christian just for being a christian because nobody like this lady in scotland, nobody would attack a muslim like they attacked her.
8:25 pm
they wouldn't they'd say, okay, you've these beliefs, many of which in islam mohammed is a great bloke. i love what he taught but a lot of the islamist things are horrible . they're not things are horrible. they're not treated really badly . he was treated really badly. he was looked after by his wife and he had a very nice life working hard on his writings and his thinkings while she money and most muslims know about his two wives who supported and so main islam is not anti—woman but the islamists are and then suddenly christianity is being so what because she believe in gays. look, a lot of people i don't don't care he's gay or gay. i really don't and i don't care who's trans and isn't trans, but it's got nothing to do with me. it's not my life. i don't attack this woman for being about her christianity that irritates me. leave her alone if she's going to be good for the at least she's being honest . indeed. as she's being honest. indeed. as you as you talk about islamism ,
8:26 pm
you as you talk about islamism, that's not the same as islam. as you say, might include isis and the taliban so in cheshire . is the taliban so in cheshire. is it such a risky strategy for politicians be christians in a . politicians be christians in a. christian well, it shouldn't be because think i mean you naturally say that to you know she wouldn't have voted but you she wouldn't have voted but you she wouldn't have voted but you she wouldn't change anything now and she'd go with the sort of majority vote and i think perhaps the snp like the idea of having an honest politician in their because it's not well known that there are any for many honest politicians and i don't think britain is anti christian i do think that the left is anti—christian and they push a lot of this hate really into the religion i think all
8:27 pm
religions i mean let me point out the front at the i am an atheist though i know or abstract with religion at all. but i think all religions should have the same respect . i think have the same respect. i think they all have to realise we have no blasphemy laws in this country. so the ones who are at are from, you know , islam and are from, you know, islam and can't go around saying you blaspheming mohammed because we don't have blasphemous laws here and we all they also ought realise and actually be thankful that in britain they have the strange and afraid of religion not a supremacy of religion . and not a supremacy of religion. and i think, you know, people ought to be given the right to respect if you're not religious. i don't see why religious people should give you allowed to stake because of the things you say abouti
8:28 pm
because of the things you say about i think, okay, i you know, trying to use honest and i like to see more people i think let's keep sue let's bring fergus back into the conversation and our pesh patel, who is my saturday sidekick , entrepreneur and sidekick, entrepreneur and political alopecia . why is it political alopecia. why is it such a crime to be a politician in 2023? well, i think britain's lost its confidence. i mean, what wrong. and look, i'm actually a child of immigrants. i was born in leeds, but my weren't. so i'm going to speak if i'm an outsider for a minute . what is wrong with you people? it used to be the case that you would sing. you would sing out loud, proudly, and did those feet in ancient times . a walk feet in ancient times. a walk upon england's mountains green you believed that christ came to this hallowed land , the uk to this hallowed land, the uk to england . and now it's as if i england. and now it's as if i know where britain to go to stay
8:29 pm
away jesus and all of that . away jesus and all of that. mahatma gandhi said if all christians behave like jesus the whole world would be christian, i think that's a good thing to . i think that's a good thing to. aspire to and i speak as a hindu . i've read because had to at school and i got straight on this in my religious matthew mark as well i can quote you the piazza and i can quote you chapter and verse from luke as well. the only thing in there is love, julian. fine. well, okay. no he's a bit angry with the sky. the pharisees and the moneylender. sky. the pharisees and the moneylender . and we'll deal with moneylender. and we'll deal with the bankers later. and we don't like them still to this day. but other than that, what do you think this is if it's not a christian country, when you think is about bunnies, you think is about bunnies, you think christmas is about a fat bloke the chimney bloke going down the chimney know religious mark know that religious there mark the king is defender of the faith know as a hindu i'm pleased what he says in formally defender all faiths he is defender all faiths he is defender of the faith there's a
8:30 pm
stability to there's something i know and by the way if you think you christians have got it bad for anti christian feelings, you should try being hindu on social media all the stuff i get it sets you worshipping elephant buying cow piss drinking infidel convert a beggar that's not from christians. christians are the most politest trolls they ever say to me is turn jesus, it will save your soul. and i just give a little love heart back. i love that are the most polite. they don't even i get that don't even trolls. i get that from other groups, but the from other groups, but from the christians. they're the loveliest when loveliest on social media when they're sort . loveliest on social media when they're sort. i'm loveliest on social media when they're sort . i'm not say they're sort. i'm not say they're sort. i'm not say they're not even trolls so yes it's a christian country. so what, fergus, brief final word . what, fergus, brief final word. i've never met a hindu. i didn't like or a sikh i didn't like i've met some j.w. who come to my doorstep. i say, i'm sorry, buddhist. and they go, oh, sorry. and they run away. that closes it down for me because i have studied all of them and yeah, everything our fish said
8:31 pm
was right. everything su said was. you're saying was. and of course you're saying everything mark everything right, because mark there, can't argue there, can i say can't argue with that look the snp clearly the grass roots an issue with some of what kate forbes has said it works against their progressive agenda. the snp want to gay people who want to be married in the eyes of god . what married in the eyes of god. what kate said goes against that . kate said goes against that. it's all about opinions. i don't agree with it, but that is the view of many north of the border. what do you think gbnews.uk coming up next in the people's hour, should britain be growing more of its own food after report of shortages that could last for months before that? does the screeching u—turn by roald dahl's publishers over modifying potentially offensive of his classic books mean that the woke agenda is in decline. we'll be asking andrew in dudley and susan in wales see shortly .
8:32 pm
8:33 pm
8:34 pm
8:35 pm

8:36 pm
rewriting of the author's classic books to make them more politically correct or supposedly less offensive, they now publish the original version of the book as well as the updated version . even the queen updated version. even the queen consort, camilla , stepped into consort, camilla, stepped into the role, suggesting writers must have of expression and censorship is a thing good on her. so does this u—turn suggest that wokeism or extreme political correctness is now in decline and that comments sense is beginning to prevail? decline and that comments sense is beginning to prevail ? let's is beginning to prevail? let's speak to the voice of common sense. it's andrew dudley. hi, andrew . i love them all. you do? andrew. i love them all. you do? in your eyes. i'm very well. good to have you back on the show. it's never memory serves. you are a former schoolteacher . you are a former schoolteacher. no not now. i'm an actual salesman. it's so stimulating way you got that from what i think i know what it is. you look a professor. yeah. oh, you

defend his output. yeah i mean, it must be in his grave . it's it must be in his grave. it's just ridiculous . the whole thing just ridiculous. the whole thing backfired . on cawthorne , i'm backfired. on cawthorne, i'm sure they realised as soon as they announced this that they had made the wrong entirely. the reaction from the public was almost instantaneous , you know, almost instantaneous, you know, and they had to back—pedal more or less away and say that in actual fact we're not going do this, we're going to leave it the way it is and the way it's meant to be. i mean, taking like fat and ugly . i mean, augustus fat and ugly. i mean, augustus gloop was enormously fat in the original book and then they decided he would just be enormous. and then in fantastic mr. fox , you've got the terrible mr. fox, you've got the terrible black tractors and now they are becoming gru or were going become brutal looking monsters.
8:39 pm
i mean these words a totally different words that written by by roald dahl andrew know you've got to take class for b in just a couple of minutes, but don't go anywhere because susan is in south wales now . susan, great to south wales now. susan, great to have you back on the show. is this proof that if we stand up to this nonsense , we can win ? i to this nonsense, we can win? i think so . thank you for inviting think so. thank you for inviting me. obama obama. think so. thank you for inviting me. obama obama . i think last me. obama obama. i think last some very important that's got the ear the nation has started backlash and that's queen camilla . it's not just about camilla. it's not just about words in books it's actually a that's going on in the country. oh no why is our traditions, our language and you're lovely gentlemen guests said that
8:40 pm
country's lost confidence . well, country's lost confidence. well, it's hardly surprising because the amount of things we've been attacked for and basically we being told you are wrong, you are wrong the way you speak, you are wrong the way you speak, you are wrong the way you speak, you are wrong in the way you leave everything you is wrong. i mean, kate being bashed over the head with it and it has to and we have to start to fight back and on the queen, camilla did actually say what she said . actually say what she said. we've got a kind of enemy that's kind of snake in along like a horrible snake . and i think it horrible snake. and i think it might be coming out to the universities and we are having stuff come from america . and if stuff come from america. and if we're not careful we are going to end up just being frightened to end up just being frightened to death, to non—violence. i we are having statues pulled down and told history is all wrong and told history is all wrong and horrible . we are now we know
8:41 pm
and horrible. we are now we know being nice people we because we welcome everybody but please stop telling us that our ways are wrong . they're not. you have are wrong. they're not. you have are wrong. they're not. you have a choice, except always stop trying to change because we've been living for a long, long time and we going along and we've been going along very well with the words that we use in the language to speak in our traditions and our ways. so just accept them . and the other thing accept them. and the other thing that i object to as well that happenedisi that i object to as well that happened is i story called figures that i believe in. the historical figures and what the phrase i'm going to use now this is a perfect example . i'm not is a perfect example. i'm not sure whether i am using the right phrase, but we had i'm building plate by now. i'm not whether i'm a console black actress , an actress of colour,
8:42 pm
actress, an actress of colour, i know that's to me that is very, very wrong because she wasn't a woman colour, she was white since she was a white historical figure and i would love to see the reaction if the made the film about nelson mandela and ewan mcgregor played the part because that's the same thing and that's another thing that tried to our history they tried to make us ashamed of the british empire whether you agreed what the british empire did or not is really not the point is the fact that we achieve it. it was a great achievement by the british nafion achievement by the british nation and now we're being bashed on the head saying that we were a horrible people and we shouldn't have done it . so it's shouldn't have done it. so it's not just about changing words. well, what does thing we do doing bashing people on the head and inside your glee? oh, your thoughts now we know. we know our own language. we know our manners we know how to use our
8:43 pm
words . and i find the say, oh, words. and i find the say, oh, it's a fencing, people. you're offending me because you're telling me i don't know how, to use my own language . and we got use my own language. and we got stop it. and that's the point . i stop it. and that's the point. i think that comes from the heart and very eloquent that susan let's bring andrew into this and i'll push patel who is my saturday sidekick, entrepreneur and political commentator . i'll and political commentator. i'll pass your reaction to what andrew and susan have had to say. i'm going to be a bit of a black sheep on that . see what black sheep on that. see what i did that nicely done well it triggers get cancelled that it triggers get cancelled that it triggers the wokeist and i love triggering them and playing with that so easy to play with. you know will want we talked about the bible earlier they will want trigger warnings on the bible soon offensive to soon because it's offensive to romans instance i you one romans for instance i you one way in which to keep them busy nursery rhymes baba black sheep
8:44 pm
remember a few years ago that was actually a thing it just keeps occupied whilst they're doing knitting degree or doing that knitting degree or whatever is they do the other whatever it is they do the other one. so was watching thomas the tank engine and the fact let's not forget that was written by, reverend. so again, i just say the controller is on the diet and he's now slim . he's not. i and he's now slim. he's not. i saw him last week, mate. then what you're so is that the other thing to keep them occupied ? he thing to keep them occupied? he did. and as i say, they're a bit sort of low on the iq bar and is we mentioned churches before i could take any group of wokeist andrew from that rabble into attacking anything. take churches, for instance , if you churches, for instance, if you want christiane to unify people , you just point out to them they've got icons of a jewish person being tortured who is also a prophet of islam they'll love it because they'll march front of the church. i'll say, oh, my god, anti—semitic. i'm islamophobic. this image of christ, can , you can christ, you can, you can manipulate that simple little minds do anything,
8:45 pm
manipulate that simple little minds do anything , which manipulate that simple little minds do anything, which is minds to do anything, which is really the point i want to make, which is most of the time we should ignore them when they get to literate , yes, we want to literate, then yes, we want to literate, then yes, we want to push back and camilla to push back and queen camilla to push back and queen camilla to in but most of the 90% to step in but most of the 90% of the time it's a case of oh just my starve them of the pubuchy just my starve them of the publicity well we won't be doing that with andrew all season or i'll pass . they're back in the i'll pass. they're back in the next part i'll be asking in the wake of food which is threatening sweep across our already and hungry nation , already and hungry nation, should we do more to grow our own vegetables ? should we stop own vegetables? should we stop eating ? that's out of season. eating? that's out of season. we'll talk about the british food industry next season. only

8:50 pm
susan in south wales. susan, what do you think? have you got a cabbage patch . no, i've got a a cabbage patch. no, i've got a beanstalk from last year because i've grown off a lot of my own beans and we do need to grow more of our own food because we are importing an awful lot in 2020. wrong . imported 10.46 2020. wrong. imported 10.46 billion worth of fruit and veg . billion worth of fruit and veg. there are obviously seasonal produce that we can't , so we're produce that we can't, so we're always going to have to improve food such as bananas. i mean, you know never in a million years would we have bananas here. but you think the government should start to support our farmers ? i mean, the support our farmers? i mean, the horticultural sector it wasn't seen in the government supports scheme for energy industries , scheme for energy industries, which is surprising because this time of the year obviously they
8:51 pm
greenhouses to grow the tomatoes that we in certain areas we haven't we normally imports in the winter 95% of our tomatoes and i come from spain and morocco and apparently they've had bad weather that's why there's a shortage we also import a lot of tomatoes from the netherlands we grow here but because of high energy costs they've cut down the produce that's the reason why there are some shortages , but that's the some shortages, but that's the business side of it. well, i would like to say to everybody by yourself, some many beans , by yourself, some many beans, some tomatoes . and try and grow. some tomatoes. and try and grow. you grow your own. if you've neverif you grow your own. if you've never if you've done, you probably do it every year. like i do. i was very lucky. i brought up with the grandfather that had a wonderful garden. he had an and he had a massive pea
8:52 pm
pea, some very, very good fertile soil and. he grew well every thing you could think of potatoes onions, cabbages and he got real green fingers . and from got real green fingers. and from a very early age , i started to a very early age, i started to get interest in, do not use of my own little pots and grow my own . i think that's brilliant. own. i think that's brilliant. i must say love to see your beanstalk at some point. susan let us speak to andrew about this as well. stick around, susanna. this as well. stick around, susanna . andrew it's quite susanna. andrew it's quite shocking, really, the statistic around this in 2020, the uk imported 46% of the food it consumed 93% of domestic consumption of fresh vegetables was fulfilled by domestic european production . we've got european production. we've got to grow our own gear , haven't to grow our own gear, haven't we? and there's no excuse to not given the fact that we've got apples in kent. we've got potatoes , suffolk, you name it . potatoes, suffolk, you name it. well, before we start, mark, may
8:53 pm
i ask you personal question ? i ask you personal question? anything have you got off a pound? the tomato is in the cucumbers. spain i do. i've got them hidden in a very secret place and i'll send them over to you. where are you? you're just in. in dudley. yeah, i reckon they won't by the time they get there . that's. let's hope. not there. that's. let's hope. not too. some don't like squash tomatoes to be serious . i've tomatoes to be serious. i've tried to grow my own fruit and veg for a couple of years. running now and it's very time cancer. running now and it's very time cancer . you have to very patient cancer. you have to very patient as well they don't happen you know you just kind of nurture it all and it's all got to work. so you've got to have a bit of time on, your hands to grow your own stuff. but it is very rewarding . at the end of it, you've got tomatoes and you got some beans and they taste better than you can get out of the supermarkets
8:54 pm
. but to take in there actually marks that we do expect lots of grocery and vegetables and fruits all the way through the year. fruits all the way through the year . you know, we need lettuces year. you know, we need lettuces in december and fruits that are not usually available in the winter . we're very demanding and winter. we're very demanding and demand is obviously outstripped. supply at the moment, which is cause the supermarket shelves to be empty briefly , andrew, do you be empty briefly, andrew, do you think we should stop eating out of season so we should stop eating tomatoes . strawberries in eating tomatoes. strawberries in december ? well, when i was a kid december? well, when i was a kid you couldn't find strawberries in december. so you had to do without them. and if you can't get them, you can't them. and that's it's, you know . so, yes, that's it's, you know. so, yes, perhaps we ought do that. get our minds straight. and towards eating the right things at the
8:55 pm
right time of year. it wouldn't hurt. i might start a cookery show on gb news. i might get you to help me with that. andrew you can hang on your toes. let's let's keep andrew and cesar let's bring our pest patel back and. my saturday sidekick . i'll and. my saturday sidekick. i'll pass the clocks against us. but a lot of people are saying this is the fault of brexit. is that true ? i tell you, no, it's i true? i tell you, no, it's i tell you what, it's the fault of the original brexit. and let me explain. like the majority of your viewers, my favourite cuisine being indian cuisine is indian being indian myself obviously brits myself and obviously the brits love. but indian food, it's your own fault you lost the empire . own fault you lost the empire. would you going to say you love food and you call it that was the original brexit when you left or were out. let me left or were eased out. let me put it that way. brexit 2.0 in 2016. and when it finally happenedin 2016. and when it finally happened in 2020, that's not the issue. you don't think? well, some of the data points to it being difficult to get europeans eastern europeans in particular, they say to pick the crops and some of the fruit. we're only
8:56 pm
about 18% self—sufficient, according to government figures. when it comes to fruit, the good is britain is 100% self—sufficient in barley . so self—sufficient in barley. so you can drink yourself and not worry food security. now you're talking can i thank the brilliant alps ? patel, my brilliant alps? patel, my saturday sidekick, he will certainly be returning in the near entrepreneur and, broadcaster, political commentator , also for brilliant commentator, also for brilliant broadcasters also happen to be viewers of and listeners to the show . susan in south wales , sue show. susan in south wales, sue in cheshire , andrew in dudley , in cheshire, andrew in dudley, not a school teacher and fergus in college, andrew is not a schoolteacher. but he told me a thing or two tonight, folks, we've got a really busy couple of hours coming up. it might take it ten. i'll be dealing with prince harry who wants an apology if he's going to turn up at the coronation. well, he's the that should be the one that should be apologising next, big apologising next, in my big opinion , there are dark forces opinion, there are dark forces at work that. want to turn your meal based ? i'm going to

9:05 pm
programme is when you get in touch at market gb news dot uk and this show has golden rule. we boring not on my we don't do boring not on my watch i just won't have it. it is saturday night so. let's have a debate and let's have some fun along way . get the kettle on along the way. get the kettle on or pop something cold and fizzy in the fridge and let's have some big debates , big guests and some big debates, big guests and always big opinions. let's start with . one if you thought with. one if you thought university is where the clever people are, maybe you should think again . students there have think again. students there have voted to support a transition to solely vegan menu across its services . it's solely vegan menu across its services. it's ironic that undergraduates at one of the most revered seats of education on the planet haven't done their homework . surely higher homework. surely higher education is about assembling the facts , gathering data and the facts, gathering data and reaching an informed conclusion
9:06 pm
. did they not see rather distressing report suggests that children raised on a vegan were on average three centimetres shorter than those who eat meat . their bones were also smaller and not as strong putting the children at risk of fractures or osteoporosis in later life . the osteoporosis in later life. the study by university london's great ormond street institute of child health said parents must be aware the risks of vegan diets . the authors said vegan diets. the authors said vegan children should be given extra supplements like vitamin b12 , supplements like vitamin b12, vitamin d to reduce long term health consequences of being raised on. plants only not exactly a ringing endorsement, is it? have the students of cambridge university not reflected on the air miles intrinsically linked to plant based diets without sugar processed meat, free food made
9:07 pm
in vast factories packaged in plastic and shipped around the world. did it not come to their attention and that plant based requires vast mono crop agriculture in which millions of hectares diverse land are and razed to the ground to accommodate milo after mile of corn , wheat or soy . accommodate milo after mile of corn , wheat or soy. but accommodate milo after mile of corn , wheat or soy . but how corn, wheat or soy. but how these crops possibly be cultivate it. given the industrial by which they are farmed after all livestock on land cows , sheep, lamb, goats land cows, sheep, lamb, goats they all poo . we wee on the they all poo. we wee on the ground enriching, they all poo. we wee on the ground enriching , the soil, and ground enriching, the soil, and watering it at the same time. it's called regenerative and we've had it for thousands of years. most british beef is farmed in this , which makes it farmed in this, which makes it more of a carbon win than first meets the eye. in britain , much meets the eye. in britain, much all beef cows grate on grass in the summer and a fed hay silage
9:08 pm
or straw in the winter and graze outdoors all year long. very brave . perhaps now is moment to brave. perhaps now is moment to mention my good friend jeremy clarkson. clarkson in whose brilliant tv show clarkson's farm. it was revealed this week that a full size cow contains within up to a thousand portions of meat , as well as the bones, of meat, as well as the bones, which can be ground up and used as a natural soil. nutrients, blood and other unwanted tissue can be for dog and cat food , and can be for dog and cat food, and the hides can be used for leather . you get a lot of the hides can be used for leather. you get a lot of bang for your buck from daisy, the cow and all she needs is grass. meanwhile, mass production based crops can only be sustained with millions litres of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. doesn't sound very healthy or environmental me? what about the nutrient value of plant based meat, free burgers and vegetarian sausages? are they
9:09 pm
really the answer? considering that they are largely composed of industrial seed oils and soy ? is that going to power the intellectual demands of these cambridge ? good luck with that , cambridge? good luck with that, particularly given the fact plant based protein is less bioavailable means it's not as easily absorbed as animal products and alternative proteins like pea protein. do not contain the full complement so—called amino acids . not contain the full complement so—called amino acids. in not contain the full complement so—called amino acids . in other so—called amino acids. in other words, they're not a complete protein . airmiles shorter kids, protein. airmiles shorter kids, inadequate nutrition, inadequate protein . but it doesn't stop protein. but it doesn't stop there because if you go plant based , you're likely going to be based, you're likely going to be eating a vast amount more of carbon bread , pasta, rice, carbon bread, pasta, rice, starch vegetables and sugar to make much of this vegan rubbish edible. why is this a problem? well, because excessive carbohydrate consumption has
9:10 pm
been linked by the likes of nhs gp, dr. david unwin to obesity and type two diabetes. it astonishes how unthinking the students at cambridge university are and how illiberal are to what happens if one student wants choice and wants to opt for what, in my view would be the healthy option of some cheese, some eggs, some yoghurt, meats or fish. a lot of is politics, not health. we live in an era where public institutions seek nothing more than to signal virtue. in this case, at the expense of students and their health. now i've got friends and viewers and listeners who vegan and they love it . good luck to and they love it. good luck to you. no problem . but i'm sorry. you. no problem. but i'm sorry. in my the health case for plant based does not stack up and i worry for the future of children and our young people who are being increasingly coerced into
9:11 pm
. this deeply inadequate form nutrition . we've been eating nutrition. we've been eating meat for millennia, and if we pursue this based experiments , i pursue this based experiments, i predict the next generation will be sicker, fatter sadder, more tired , and, frankly, tired, and, frankly, malnourished perhaps that's the way state and the pharmaceutical industry would like it. who knows? but there is clear agenda among administer and politicians and corporations . to stop us and corporations. to stop us eating meat based upon debateable science . and after debateable science. and after the horror of vaccine mandates, once again the authority is trying to decide what goes into your body. this time , our dinner your body. this time, our dinner plates just say no . those plates just say no. those seeking to enforce a plant based diet are . silly sausages. i've diet are. silly sausages. i've got beef with them. and frankly they can off. here to defend cows. because plant based is
9:12 pm
utter . what's cows. because plant based is utter. what's your cows. because plant based is utter . what's your view? the utter. what's your view? the students who voted for this argue the planet is heating up and animal farming has a big carbon footprint. they would say eating red meat is bad for you. they'd repeal the health benefits from a vegan diet, including overcoming allergies. sometimes losing weight and feeling best they've ever felt is not a view i share. but it's all about. so what's yours ? all about. so what's yours? market gbnews.uk reacting to the big stories of day. my all star panel journalist broadcaster linda jubilee , bestselling linda jubilee, bestselling author and former royal editor of the sun newspaper, duncan and political campaigner and political campaigner and political commentator as well, anna mcgovern. annabel come back to the show. thank you. what's your reaction to this? i think that case of cambridge university is not isolated. i think they're trying to make the country meat free. absolutely
9:13 pm
and this is a direction that many of the are going in and believe is in 2016, where the of cambridge actually banned. i it was lamb as well from the menu. so this just continuing the trend . the university of trend. the university of stirling as well are removing all products from their catering by 2025 more universities will be participating in this. well i have say is who are you to tell me what i can eat or put in my body. there are so many mineral benefits to eating mate . i don't benefits to eating mate. i don't believe that the university should be dictating what we in our diet. there are so many benefits to me, and i quite frankly think this is ludicrous. duncan larcombe , would you let duncan larcombe, would you let anyone tamper with your bone ? anyone tamper with your bone? absolutely no, no. i mean, i'm not. i'm not a vegetarian. i'm certainly not a vegan. and i don't like the of having to i accidentally went into a vegan restaurant once the photographer because we were starving we sat
9:14 pm
down we ate the food it was the only customers in there it was a long time ago and the owners came and engaged us in came over and engaged us in conversation just when we realised we were accidentally in a restaurant . so we to a vegan restaurant. so we had to be very and very but i'm be very polite and very but i'm afraid when we left, we felt guilty. but we went straight down road and a burger down the road and found a burger king. now i don't to beat up king. and now i don't to beat up on the vegans i've got so many vegan viewers and listeners , vegan viewers and listeners, many of them have told me that they've never felt better they love it. it's something about which many people are . but for which many people are. but for me, this is a question of choice. and the students at cambridge university now do not have privilege. exactly. that's the point. and that was key in what you've just said is that the students there don't have a choice. now, i've got no beef, if you like, with people going on a vegan based diet in fact. my daughter had graduated the first from university of edinburgh and she was almost exclusively for the entire four years she was there . i've got years she was there. i've got another friend to actually she

has completely put her crohn's disease at bay by, sticking to a vegan based diet. it's a matter of common sense. first of all, in how you eat, there's perfectly healthy vegan diets that you can stick , but you can that you can stick, but you can also eat a great meat based diet . i'm a meat lover. i like nothing than that t—bone steak. in fact a nice coat to both with the bone marrow poured on top. i'm your girl. the bone marrow poured on top. i'm your girl . but the fact of i'm your girl. but the fact of the matter is you need to give people choice . students need people choice. students need a choice . and i think there's far choice. and i think there's far too much virtue signalling going on in this debate . what we need on in this debate. what we need is a common attitude to it. on in this debate. what we need is a common attitude to it . your is a common attitude to it. your reaction, mark, at gbnews.uk are you willing to go plant to save the planet do you accept the science ? that one, it's science? that one, it's something else that we need to debate. so market gbnews.uk up in the news agenda with my excellent panel. have we faith in our gp service? do you know the name of your gp? do you have
9:16 pm
a relationship if you call the gp practise do you have any confidence that they'll give you an appointment or even the phone? we'll talk about in crisis before ten, but next, the big question is digital id a step too far ? and how do you step too far? and how do you feel about tony blair still having an influence on this country? that's .
9:17 pm
9:18 pm
9:19 pm
next well, a big reaction to my big opinion market gb news uk. how about from dennis ? good evening, about from dennis? good evening, dennis. how are you? thanks very much for your email. first email of the show, dennis said mark. my gp told me to eat plenty of red meats and he was in his mid eighties when. he passed away. i'm now pushing that number myself and relatively fit and healthy . we've laid roast beef , healthy. we've laid roast beef,
9:20 pm
says dennis. dennis i've got no doubt you're the picture of health and. i'm sure a handsome devil with it. how about this ? devil with it. how about this? it's quite good, richard. i could tell you a vegan joke, but it would be too cheesy. blimey, i thought i did the. how about from jason? mark you can't get certain proteins from vegan food that are essential for your brain activity and only available in red meat . mark, i available in red meat. mark, i totally agree with you. we're being that low fat foods are good for us, but they're making us fat. history tells that quality meat is good for us. pure lard and natural fat is good for us. we are animals , good for us. we are animals, quality and purity key. the more something is forced and processed, the worse it is us great show is always well great email there from . bridget in email there from. bridget in south devon . what a nice part of south devon. what a nice part of the world. however, alex isn't happy. mark i thought, oh no, it's . well, i'm not sure what it's. well, i'm not sure what alex means by but i'll read it
9:21 pm
and let you decide. alex who said i thought unis were supposed to be places of a free think not climate change theory indoctrination centres . i think indoctrination centres. i think alex they're supporting of the elements of my big opinion but you disagree with my big opinion. do me know? mark at gb news uk this programme a haven of speech and i will defend it to the death now format. oh, do you want to do it? yeah. sorry you know what? i'm glad director sam's concentrating. he's a bit of a perfectionist. let's do one of a perfectionist. let's do one of those jingle things . you of those jingle things. you can't get the presenters these days now. former labour prime minister tony blair and former conservative leader william hague have come together to jointly advocate for the uk to roll out ids writing the times newspaper, they called for a digital id for every citizen , a digital id for every citizen, a national health infrastructure uses data to improve care , keep uses data to improve care, keep costs down. sovereign systems
9:22 pm
backed up by supercomputing capabilities. in other words everything that you need to know about our bodies and our lives all on a microchip now digital ids are a controversial technology allow people to prove their identity using information on an app despite small scale uses digital ids are not universally accepted in the country in the same way that passports and driver's licences are there hague are keen to change this arguing that a government approved digital id card scheme would allow easier access to public services . but access to public services. but is this kind of technology a step too far and a threat to our bafic step too far and a threat to our basic freedoms , civil liberties basic freedoms, civil liberties ? to debate this, we're hoping to be joined by a political pundh to be joined by a political pundit and writer, james melville. but first, as a good friend of the show labour councillor, fatima kamara. hi, fatima . hi. councillor, fatima kamara. hi, fatima. hi. good councillor, fatima kamara. hi, fatima . hi. good evening, mark. fatima. hi. good evening, mark. how are you doing? i very well. good to have you. back on the
9:23 pm
show . do we really want to have show. do we really want to have these digital ids? it sounds like something out of george orwell's 1984, i'm not sure orwell's1984, i'm not sure i the state knowing that much about me i think what i would say is, you know , in your intro say is, you know, in your intro you mentioned about tony blair and also putting this report forward in terms of recommendation should and what we must to really just kind of stress out it's a report. it's a proposal. i think it's not set in stone definitely because of the issues we've had as the uk in of taking on board the notion of a digital national i.d. in of taking on board the notion of a digital national id. the history behind it can actually easily clear people up to think, no, this is not what i want. and rightfully so. i believe that with everything that has to be due process and intelligence that needs to go with it. i that the report is that tony blair and he of put together that it's
9:24 pm
set in stone it's open for discussions there are lot of things that we need to think aboutin things that we need to think about in terms of gdpr and lots things that motions that would need to go through to parliament and that might deal. and things like that might deal. but the thing that i would have to add to that is, that they certainly we all have digital certainly we all do have digital footprint that we willingly one way or the other giving out details, you know , on social details, you know, on social media or suchlike which we voluntary we have voluntary hurriedly giving out information to. i think the way that we're moving in terms of you know, keeping numbers , keeping track keeping numbers, keeping track of numbers of for, for example, illegal immigration , you know, illegal immigration, you know, people coming into the country and also security of the nation. i think there's certainly a place for us to have a database that would hold certain information . so we're able to information. so we're able to plan. we're able have the right system and the infrastructures in place, both in the uk and also on a local level as well. in terms of the report, i would
9:25 pm
just say it's a report, it's not set in stone, but obviously i do understand how that makes people feel. okay, well, let's bring in political pundit and amanda's won a legion fans in the course of the pandemic speaking up for our freedoms it's james melville having a little bit of trouble with the line to james. james, i hope you haven't been caught out by the deep state. not yet no, but this is cornwall. so you know, all kinds of things are communication will happen in cornwall . what do you think cornwall. what do you think about these digital ideas? fatima kamara it's only a consultation and really it's just a convenient way of having your medical information and your medical information and your benefits and. a couple of other important nhs details all in one place. whenever i hear the words security, safety and convenience , i question it . the words security, safety and convenience , i question it. i'm convenience, i question it. i'm not some sort of technological i think, you know, technology is the way the world moves forward.
9:26 pm
but i do have a problem when the likes of tony blair effectively been whining on about digital id for 20 years, then appears now unelected. tony blair to say that this isn't our best interests. the problem with this , where does it stop ? i'm not , where does it stop? i'm not saying we end up like china with social credit systems, but it does the possibility of a gateway towards that. if we end up having a system of id. that is wrapped around a number of different areas, whether that be we've seen it before with vaccine passports that was effectively id and illiberal old discrimination and we're seeing it with central bank digital currencies. this pilot schemes around the world or not and this consultation documents within the uk government on that digital id can useful in certain things, but when it's a data harvest or it raises the prospect of government control and also surveillance . and so
9:27 pm
and also surveillance. and so therefore if you go down this path it has to be scrutinised, we have to hold the governments feet to the fire and there has to be certain restrictions from our site. what i would say is that based on the bad , why the that based on the bad, why the government asking these questions to us we own the government don't own us so . government don't own us so. perhaps the best forwarded slide would be us to get digitalised, to monitor the behaviour of our politicians and governments so we know where our tax money is actually spent. now the worry i've got fatima is the potential for state over the citizen james just touched on it if we'd had these digital ids during the we could have properly enforced a two tier society. the vaccinated state and the unvaccinated things could have reached canadian proportions with people having their bank accounts frozen for being critical of lockdowns or not having the jab
9:28 pm
. that's the problem with this technology , mark. i think that technology, mark. i think that i'm just pre—empting i don't think that would be the case. also not saying that that cannot if we look at our neighbour and neighbouring country as in estonia, estonia, when if you're burning estonia, you will actually given a national i.d. actually given a national id. and that works you right through june also may be with the planning, it helps with many things that needs to happen in terms of getting the information , getting them registered for prescription and all of that. it makes it a seamless process. am itaken makes it a seamless process. am i taken bored that the sort of angst and also the notion that why would someone to know everything about me should also mean about what i do what i eat, where i go, my, my, my passport details and, all of that. but i do also believe that segments of these are already registered. we didn't need by ourselves . these are already registered. we didn't need by ourselves. but i think what the most important thing is, is actually the public
9:29 pm
having the say to actually dictate the sort of information that be on this court and these comes to that point, but also is why with everything else, this consultation is not imposed honours, as people are saying. i to believe that there's going to be aspect of consultation and the public would be able to have a say to say this is what we want and this is. well, you know, we don't want our details , you know, of our details , you know, all of our details in just one nationality that carries everything that we carry around with us. just because the government say so . okay. james government say so. okay. james melville , final thoughts on melville, final thoughts on this? because think if this this? because i think if this technology was in the hands of someone like fatma kamara, we'd be a conscience be fine. fatima has a conscience and an intellect and some empathy , but i'm worried about empathy, but i'm worried about this kind of technology falling into of a future into the hands of a future authoritarian regime . i agree . i authoritarian regime. i agree. i mean, we've been down this path before with the covid response . before with the covid response. it has started with three weeks to flatten the curve. and we end up with vaccine passports are on
9:30 pm
the auspices of digital id and also it's about the communities who will be disregard ordered by digital i.d. you know, a large percentage of our elderly population are not online . so population are not online. so what happens to them is impossible to enforce across the whole country. i agree certain aspects of digital they make everyone's life easier , but everyone's life easier, but there's certain aspects of digital id make people's life restricted . and i do worry, as i restricted. and i do worry, as i said at the start, whenever government under the auspices of consultation say that is for our convenience , that raises a lot convenience, that raises a lot of questions . we're currently of questions. we're currently getting a lot of that's bubbling under the radar that are around digital id and so most of the pubuc digital id and so most of the public don't even know about this. you know, i've got a major concern for central bank digital currencies. you know, that when we lose, for instance, aspects , we lose, for instance, aspects, financial freedom by financial , financial freedom by financial, that's a major, major problem. and the government should have no control over that . our
9:31 pm
no control over that. our government is fundamentally to serve us and free us up, but the moment we're getting governments around them all. it's not just in the uk who seem to be using the wraparound of digital by claiming it's for our safety and our convenience . but actually we our convenience. but actually we don't know where that will end up . it's you know, it's very up. it's you know, it's very vague and it's very ambiguous. i've read the documentation in terms of consultation around ditch sliding , central bank, ditch sliding, central bank, digital currencies , but it does digital currencies, but it does open gateway to other problems. what else will they bolthole this? and so we have to be very, very careful that we end up in a situation. i'm saying we end up like china , but it does offer like china, but it does offer the potential of a gateway towards not predicament and that is not in keeping with what i think uk is about illiberal and free society. james thank you for joining us live from . forjoining us live from. cornwall, enjoy a nice bubbly pint of shops . atlantic pale ale
9:32 pm
pint of shops. atlantic pale ale on and my thank labour councillor regular on mark dolan tonight fatima . a fascinating tonight fatima. a fascinating debate your reaction digital id convene or state tyranny market in my take it ten i'll be deaung in my take it ten i'll be dealing with prince harry who wants an apology. well, if anyone should apologise, it's him. plus the papers with full panel reaction from 1020. right through until 11 am. don't forget very excited about this . forget very excited about this. we're going to discuss tattoos are they vulgar? have they become too normalised? we'll be speaking . britain's most tattoo speaking. britain's most tattoo rude man before ten. but next in the news , have brits lost faith the news, have brits lost faith in their local gp. see you .
9:33 pm
9:34 pm
9:35 pm
in three. now we're all aware of the never ending crisis in the nhs, but
9:36 pm
one aspect that's frequently overlooked is the patient doctor relationship or more precisely, the complete lack of it. it used to be that you could call your local surgery and make an appointment on the day to see family doctor. someone who hopefully knew you well and that you could trust. now it's barely possible to get an appointment at all. so have we. as a nation lost faith in our gp? linda personally, i haven't. i love my gp. i go there. the last time i went there, which was for a routine check up. yeah. i mean, i had to actually stop talking because she was taking up too much time and she was giving me so much attention. i said, i think we can draw a hole now because. i've got somewhere else to go. got to leave. so to go. i've got to leave. so very, very yeah. that's my , very, very yeah. that's my, that's just an anecdotal thing. but the kind of survey we're talking about. i think, we do have to lift the lid on this and say that really conducted say that who really conducted the data which was the underlying data which it was based is a firm of
9:37 pm
based and it is a firm of personal injury lawyers. now, once you know that , know how to once you know that, know how to approach the kind of information that's being pushed forward because know as well as i because you know as well as i know that there are lies, lies and some statistic x and fact when you look at the statistics in, the cold light of day, they're not really as bad as the daily mail is making you. that's right. this is a story in the daily mail suggesting that services are in a policy state. the doctor will see you , but you the doctor will see you, but you probably don't want them to do an interactive map lays bare all 260 of england's worst performing practises that are in or require improvement. but they are in the minority. or require improvement. but they are in the minority . and the are in the minority. and the quotes from the nhs, the royal college of general practitioners both say that actually most of these surgeries are performing very well . and the fact of the very well. and the fact of the matter is , i think there is matter is, i think there is cause for concern and the reason it's cause for concern is because we've got an ageing population and it's very difficult to deal with numbers
9:38 pm
of people in their older years that are leaning on gp fees. now we do have to do something about that because it's an almost perfect storm because gp's numbers are going right down now, because they're retiring , now, because they're retiring, you know, the person tax allowances frozen, it really wasn't worth financially a lot of them carrying on, they retired, left the profession they've gone to australia, they're doing this , they're they're doing this, they're doing that, they've had a hard time pandemic and we time and in the pandemic and we haven't got enough. is haven't got enough. so there is cause concern . but think cause for concern. but i think this survey little bit this survey is a little bit misleading. i appreciate your misleading. so i appreciate your your critical judgement on this, which makes you a great which is what makes you a great journalist, this and know journalist, but this and i know it's only anecdotal, but this would hundreds would contradict the hundreds of emails get viewers about emails i get from viewers about how can't get a how they can't get a gp appointment. mean obviously appointment. i mean obviously dunng appointment. i mean obviously during became during pandemic the nhs became very focussed on covid. i think that a mistake but that was a mistake but obviously, you know, they were in a difficult situation at the time people have no time but people have no confidence they'll an confidence that they'll get an appointment or they'll get appointment or that they'll get seen. problem. you seen. that's the problem. you seen. that's the problem. you see anecdotally see the problem that anecdotally the i ran for an
9:39 pm
the last i ran for an appointment they said, can you come tomorrow? and i said, actually, can't. i didn't. actually, i can't. i didn't. i thought would take a week. thought it would take a week. it didn't took hours, but didn't it took 24 hours, but i probably i'm in a fairly good situation but can only take as situation but i can only take as i find can only repeat and if i find i can only repeat and if we're talking about anecdotal evidence , can say that i evidence, i can only say that i don't have a problem yeah, i, i mean, i think you're very fortunate because i think there's many people who actually aren't able to access their gp or even if you try call the gp, they don't always answer another. i guess anecdotally example for myself when over the christmas period i had strep a which was going around and, i developed a very bad muscle strain in my chest to the point where i was into debilitating pain. it was very bad , was pain. it was very bad, was really starting to a point struggling to breathe. i called my gp and i got through to the reception without me anything about myself , age, date of about myself, age, date of birth, anything like if i had any health conditions . they any health conditions. they immediately said, well, i can't give you this appointment, but you will be taken for an
9:40 pm
emergency and for me i am in good health. i'm a young person, but imagine if an elderly person had run that and then that shut down immediately and told, well, actually you're a priority, you're not an emergency you'll be you're taking away from someone else might the someone else might need the urgent care and think that the you know the gp said very overrun there's a massive backlog there's many people who are for appointments. so are waiting for appointments. so are waiting for appointments. so a lot of that you know, a lot of that very, you know, the very stressed and not everyone be so everyone could be seen. so i think many people it really resonates can't access resonates that they can't access the gp. duncan there's also that question of. patient question of. the patient gp relationship , which i feel question of. the patient gp relationship, which i feel has diminished recent years. yeah, i mean i can as a kid growing up with dr. mcdonald brown was our family doctor. did he keep a bottle of whisky in the bottom drawer? and i was probably a bit too young to experience whisky. but now he was, he was that nofion but now he was, he was that notion of a family doctor and it has disappeared . of course it's has disappeared. of course it's disappeared for reasons that are quite practical you know, there
9:41 pm
are more people now in the nhs under a hell of a lot more pressure because a lot is expected of it. but i think we need to be very careful to look at the figures like this where worse performing gp surgeries because actually it's about why they're performing badly. and if you i can't imagine there's a doctor in the nhs that would actually have signed up for a situation where a patient that needs them is going to have to wait two, three, four weeks before they can actually come in and be treated or even assessed and be treated or even assessed and what happens time and time again now is people are just told, get yourself to a&e. yeah. and that a solution either if anyone has to go to a&e it's a traumatic experience to go there. yeah and it leads to more because the more overloaded is, the more we've got problems in hospitals because they're not and it goes back to the ageing population again, they're not able to discharge patients off and quickly enough because are no in care homes for no spaces in care homes for sure. sure. hospitals are full of people that shouldn't really be there i mean,
9:42 pm
be in there rights. i mean, duncan, the issue is and i always speak up for doctors, nurses, i think we all would especially what they've been through last three years. through in the last three years. but wonder the public but i wonder where the public angeris but i wonder where the public anger is such that it threatens the relationship between just doctor and patient . but really doctor and patient. but really our view of the nhs overall because you know, the gp is the first point of contact for patients and if you feel you can't even get on kind of ground zero, then you've got a problem. we accept and we pay through the nose for the nhs and yet we can't get the service in many cases do. and when, when you see it in such a state and these sorts of bits of research just lay that bare, you start think maybe there is a very strong argument for charging people that don't turn up to the appointments they like those sorts of things you know but again , entry is a political hot again, entry is a political hot potato so the common sense opfions potato so the common sense options , i would say are not options, i would say are not even consid it in this
9:43 pm
particular wonderful nhs that no one can criticise. and i think as well the nhs is being taken over by many bureaucratic forces. there are people they care more about building the rainbow roads than actually caring about the patients who are need urgent care. and are in need of urgent care. and i the whole system is and i think the whole system is and needs fixed. okay, well we needs to be fixed. okay, well we put out a twitter poll before the programme, have the public lost trust in their gp services. are dismayed, have lost faith. i think that the key word. so i'll let you guess what do you think, linda artis with that gp service from from a non—scientific gb news and not anything to do with my own personal view. no i think probably 70, 70. duncan i play your cards right higher or less. okay, i'm going to go lower than 70. i'm going to say five. okay. well money and the points and the speedboat goes to anna mcgovern , because here all the mcgovern, because here all the results from 88% of gb news. wow viewers have said that they have
9:44 pm
this lose that strap. you have. they have brits lost faith in that gp's, that gp services and that's really bad for the nhs and it must be addressed as a matter of urgency. i'm sure plenty of you like linda have a good service and we should acknowledge the great work that many gp's do. it's a tough gig, but too many are falling short now. coming up in the next hour, it might take it ten. prince harry wants an apology in return for appearing at the king's coronation celebration as well. i think if anyone should apologising, it's harry himself . that's my take it ten and we'll get the view of my brilliant panellists tonight . brilliant panellists tonight. larcombe, who is the former royal editor of the sun newspaper , best selling author newspaper, best selling author and prince harry's biographer, no less . we've got the papers no less. we've got the papers live from 1020 to 11:00 with full panel reaction . but next, full panel reaction. but next, all tattoos becoming too normalised all day vulgar. we'll be speaking to britain's most tattooed man. see shortly .
9:45 pm
9:46 pm
9:47 pm
9:48 pm
have brits lost faith in their gp? this from bridget? good evening, bridget. how are you? romney marsh night. nice of the world, bridget says mark. i was still working as a reporter i could write really good copy regarding nhs gp's and waste of money. we can't get to see our gp since the start of covid i had an email from the surgery telling me that unless i was under two pregnancies or at the end i would not the end of i would not see the doctor a&e as overworked with doctor or a&e as overworked with patients able see a gp as patients not able to see a gp as an ex reporter while in hospital , i an ex reporter while in hospital ,i asked an ex reporter while in hospital , i asked doctors and nurses if they could see a gp most said no. i also have a lot of information about the waste of money if only someone was interested well, bridget, i'm interested well, bridget, i'm interested and why you drop me an email. market gbnews.uk and i'll have look at that. mark you
9:49 pm
must have had the same doctor as me. dr. diamond in. well, i won't say which location . i want won't say which location. i want to get that doctor in trouble. who kept whisky in his drawer. them days are long gone. don't worry. he's long gone, too. john thank you for that. mine was an irishman called dr. morton red face, but a heart of gold. listen, let's crack on now and let's talk about for some tattoos are an extension of their personality a way to express or even a sentimental reminder of a person or a special time in their life . but special time in their life. but others are not on board with the trend, viewing them as offensive, distasteful and even a barrier to employment interesting story in this week's mail newspaper saying that midlife as people in their forties and fifties are now getting tattoos, so have we normalised them? are they vulgar or is it a lovely form of expression? let now speak to king of england , most tattooed king of england, most tattooed man and a good of mine. high
9:50 pm
king. how are you, mark? good. i'm very well. you're looking very moving. i'm amazed that yourjacket very moving. i'm amazed that your jacket not destroying the television signal. your jacket not destroying the television signal . wow. it's television signal. wow. it's very austin powers, isn't it? like can i just go? do you all think dressing for dressing up for the show? you look very well . what do you think about? people in their forties and fifties having tattoos. the mid lifers . does that tell you about lifers. does that tell you about the culture tattooing king. well, i'm a mid—life for myself now . 43 so but i've been getting now. 43 so but i've been getting since i was 16 years old. so i think generally if you decide to get them, you normally know what you want and stuff. people normally regret their first tattoo, although their first tattoo, although their first tattoo can also be the start of an addictive journey. i think david dimbleby and some of the people have had tattoos when in their so it's not uncommon for people to start lights . i've got people to start lights. i've got a pensioner friend that i've on television with. he started in his fifties started on his face
9:51 pm

10:06 pm
they're somehow racist even though they greeted the of meghan's arrival with utter glee. believing that they had found their new diana . not to found their new diana. not to mention the 100% positive blanket coverage of their multi—million pound wedding attended by. thousands of eager brits . will harry apologise to brits. will harry apologise to his former colleagues in military whose lives has endangered by bragging that he killed 25 taliban operatives ? killed 25 taliban operatives? will harry also apologise to other royals who now have a target on their back as a result of these flippant , reckless and of these flippant, reckless and ill advised comments ? will harry ill advised comments? will harry apologise to his own brother, william for spelling out in such excruciating detail arguments, fights , disagreements and fights, disagreements and problems? they've together and washing the family laundry in pubuc.
10:07 pm
washing the family laundry in public . so washing the family laundry in public. so what if your washing the family laundry in public . so what if your brother public. so what if your brother has decked you. you keep that in family and will harry apologise for how william wife kate has been at the hands of harry and meghan's pr machine ? and last meghan's pr machine? and last but not least, will harry apologise to the british people for the reputation . personal for the reputation. personal damage that his book and all of the interviews have to this country globally. not to mention damage done to a royal family that most of the public have affection and a monarchy . most affection and a monarchy. most of the public support. affection and a monarchy. most of the public support . will of the public support. will harry apologise for all of these things ? if so, then i there is a things? if so, then i there is a way back into the fold for this young man . but will an apology young man. but will an apology come? i wouldn't hold my breath for this sulking arista crats. sorry. seems to be the hardest word . it's sad. so sad. what
10:08 pm
word. it's sad. so sad. what a sad, sad situation . what is your sad, sad situation. what is your view ? harry's supporters would view? harry's supporters would argue that the couple were the victims of a witch hunt which saw them forced out of against their will and the royal family neglected meghan's mental health whilst a serving royal, they would argue that quarters of press have shown them , excuse press have shown them, excuse me, i've showed prejudice against meghan markle potentially because of her skin colour and they would argue that the royals were guilty of similar prejudice and they would argue that the podcast and the book are simply the couple's opportunity to tell their side of the story and put the record straight. well, i don't buy that not for one second, but what do you think, mark at gbnews.uk do you think, mark at gbnews.uk do you have sympathy for the couple? should king charles and the prince of wales, prince william apology to harry. reacting to my take it are the fantastic journalist linda jubilee , former royal editor of
10:09 pm
jubilee, former royal editor of the sun, and he's now got a wider journalist the sun, and he's now got a widerjournalist brief, wider journalist brief, brilliant bestselling author . brilliant bestselling author. well, duncan larcombe and, political campaigner and commentator anna mcguffin. duncan this is a subject to your own heart. you've moved on from covering exclusively royal as a journalist, but you are prince harry's . do you think that he an harry's. do you think that he an apology? i if prince harry is holding out for an apology, he's going to have an incredibly wait and at the end of his interview with tom bradby, the week that his book came out, he said that the was in now in the court of his father, charles, his brother william. and i think. his father, charles, his brother william. and i think . everyone william. and i think. everyone took a bit of a dip in inhalation of disbelief. there so you've you've written a book you've you've exposed the secrets , the family code number secrets, the family code number one code is that you don't rank and you certainly don't go off and you certainly don't go off and sign lucrative deals in america to fund your lifestyle. and yet if we believe this to be
10:10 pm
the case, still wants an apology. i mean, it's having a temper tantrum as a kid pulling off the curtains , the furniture off the curtains, the furniture oven off the curtains, the furniture over, smashing glasses, and then going up to mommy and saying, mummy, i want you to tell me you're. sorry, it's sadly , i you're. sorry, it's sadly, i think duncan is the appetite for demand for this apology motivated by apology that the palace made in relation to lady susan hussey , who was perceived susan hussey, who was perceived to have spoken inappropriately in the context of a british woman of heritage hussey where she really came from , the palace she really came from, the palace apologised is that what has stoked this anger over include bertino california. i think? it's hard to tell. i mean, i've harry since he was a teenager, frankly, i think what we've seen from him with the book and in the last couple of months really it's almost that we're watching someone who's 75% through some really expensive therapy. and of
10:11 pm
course, anyone been anywhere near therapy for mental health or other issues, addiction etc, will know that the moment that you've actually cross that bndge you've actually cross that bridge and got into position of recovery. is when you are actually going out and giving those apologies to the people that you've held resentments towards. it's basic stuff. harry has set himself up as a very well paid guru of mental, and yet i see no evidence that he's ready or in a position to actually down and have a sensible conversation with his brother and his father . you are brother and his father. you are his biographer and you were , the his biographer and you were, the royal editor of sun, which is one of the biggest royal jobs in the country. how long would you say of you known prince harry? and i got to know harry's privilege enough to get to know harry in the days when he had finished at eton and he was waiting to join the military at sandhurst. it was a privilege for me, but of course, in that penod for me, but of course, in that period punched a photographer. he wore outfit, a story that i
10:12 pm
wrote, and he got in all sorts of different scrapes around the world, which in his book he back to an almost brushes them off as sort of the i don't know i mean he really hasn't . sort of the i don't know i mean he really hasn't. his book really could have been a whole list of apologises himself for the behaviour that he's displayed in the his own family the been criticised so viciously , actually stuck up and put necks on the line for him because that happened . linda because that happened. linda jubilee, you've carried the, the, the royal brief cover royal brief in fleet . what's your brief in fleet. what's your reaction to his for an apology if . they are true that's what if. they are true that's what we're hearing what's being reported. well as you so clearly said, it's he that should be making the team that should making the team that should making the team that should making the apology. the fact of the matter is i've read the book cover cover. i think it's well written. i think it's quite engrossing. but i also think it's very passive aggressive and it's very passive aggressive and it's the buck page by page by
10:13 pm
page. it is blaming people and he's continuing to do that now. i mean, it's in credible, really, when you think that he and meg levin magnify isn't montecito. they they are living there in a very very luxurious enclave in a world where 50,000 ukraine lions are said to been killed. nearly 200,000 russians have been slaughtered . and when have been slaughtered. and when 97% of the population in countries like afghanis and yemen live below the poverty line, this win on carries on. i cannot understand why he can't get a grip and grow up. but cannot understand why he can't get a grip and grow up . but what get a grip and grow up. but what do you really think linda going to have to get ? this shows all to have to get? this shows all about opinions. anna mcgovern you're not short of opinions do you have words of defence? harry because the couple could argue that they've been badly treated . the british press they need an apology from almost everyone this country. to be honest, i think a lot of this he's brought
10:14 pm
onto himself. so is meghan. i was involved the royal family for several for my campaigning and prince william and prince harry. they set up the royal task force for the protection of cyberbullying, did a lot of mental work for children and young people . i knew them for young people. i knew them for working in those taskforces and they came together for the dinner , which are set up in dinner, which are set up in princess diana's memory. so it's really it's such a shame, actually, because he used to do such incredible work for those people. it wasn't necessarily reported. and now all of a sudden he's going on this tirade against royal family and then to then go ahead and say , oh, then go ahead and say, oh, there's like a witch hunts for him and meghan. when you're putting yourself in that position, i think it's completely ludicrous. i'm like, tell me about the harry that you reported on and after eats and duncan and the harry we've got now. what's to this guy? well the years, harry, i think you have see, harry, in the context that of the public did see and
10:15 pm
that of the public did see and that was as a little boy head following his mother's coffin on that tragic day aged 12. and after that there was a period where the press left him alone and he carried on with his life in relative anonymity and in period. we know that he started to take cocaine. he slept outside the back of to lose his virginity. a behaved himself in way that perhaps a young prince should . but the public loved should. but the public loved more for that because he had that vulnerability and the didn't want to attack or didn't want to see harry being attacked. what's tragic changed i would argue is that that prince the would literally forgive nearly anything for archie the change came when he met meghan and the sympathy that harry had and the days when harry had and the days when harry never took himself too seriously the pre meghan days the public could swallow him i think now sadly tragically harry is a nice guy but i think tragically now whatever has gone wrong with his pr machine he's now the role that he sees down
10:16 pm
in the bottom challenging prince andrew and the unpopularity stakes. he used to be second only to the queen if that's the meghan markle effect . did he meghan markle effect. did he marry badly ? who knows ? duncan marry badly? who knows? duncan larcombe is the author of prince harry the inside story. it's a cracking read . lots of truth cracking read. lots of truth bombs in there, lots of insight . and i read it during lockdown. there wasn't a huge amount else to do, but it's recommended. do you think that charles and king charles and the prince of wales, william should apologise to harry or vice versa. mark at gb news uk we've got sunday's papers .
10:17 pm
10:18 pm
10:19 pm
next it's coming up. next it's coming up . to 10:20 as it's coming up. to 10:20 as always on a saturday. bring you the sunday papers minutes earlier than everyone else from
10:20 pm
1020 right through until 11. so let's have a sneak peek at two of the front pages with the sunday telegraph . and here's sunday telegraph. and here's what they lead with sunak snubs. johnson new brexit deal rishi sunakis johnson new brexit deal rishi sunak is poised to scrap boris johnson's northern ireland protocol bill as part of new deal with brussels. the pm, he has secured legal changes that render the bill designed to give the government power to rip up parts of the protocol longer necessary as a bargaining chip. but in a sign of the growing rebellion against, his deal, steve baggott baker, the northern ireland minister leading brexiteer, was last night understood to be on resignation after being frozen out of negotiations. his said he'd been unhappy for some time and was prepared to walk if he's not convinced by the deal, which is expected to be announced as soon as monday day. competition
10:21 pm
for school at record high and james bond here go, folks. here we go again . james bond books we go again. james bond books edhed we go again. james bond books edited to remove racist references. the mirror cracking front page and a very sad and moving one. ukraine ian boy begs for home in uk. rishi. please my family . a boy of 11 today begs family. a boy of 11 today begs rishi sunak free him from war torn ukraine and reunite him with his father britain. this boy's father is working in england . a builder. boy's father is working in england . a builder . and it's england. a builder. and it's quite a moving story, i've got to say. and presents the plight of thousands as the home office hit by red tape . those are two hit by red tape. those are two front pages. let's get reaction now from the longest serving political in the country, even though looks about 30. it is nigel nelson who is the
10:22 pm
political of both the sunday mirror and the people. and nigel an important human story on the front page of your paper tomorrow, the human of the war in ukraine. yes, i think that it is very difficult for us living to imagine what it must to be an 11 year old growing up ukraine at the moment. so what we what they the sunday mirror has got is a chance to find out somebody demetrius who lives in south western exactly what it's like . western exactly what it's like. he's written to rishi sunak because he wants to be reunited with his father over here, who he hasn't seen for 18 months. and he talks about is just awful. the whole thing is that where his you would expect to go to school. he's spending his time bomb shelters. he to do his homework by candlelight because the electric keeps going off and one of the most heartbreaking
10:23 pm
breaking parts of his story is that his mother is stop smiling and all he wants is to be reunited. reunited here with his father, who couldn't go back, ukraine. he was a builder over here as just said, couldn't return ukraine, can't fight because. he has a medical condition . and the problem is condition. and the problem is they've come up against the dead hands of the home affairs and leave him and his mother who are two of 9400 ukrainians who've got somewhere come to in britain but can't get the approved to get here. now you know what we've shown what a big hearted nafion we've shown what a big hearted nation we are. we've taken 165,000 ukrainian aid . and 165,000 ukrainian aid. and people are prepared to open their homes as a home for them in london. just can't get here. indeed.so in london. just can't get here. indeed. so props the sunday mirror for running that story. the sun sunak snub johnson over
10:24 pm
new deal. i know this features in your papers as well. tomorrow the people and the mirror. first of all, what are you hearing, nigel is a deal the offing? do we have a brexit breakthrough ? we have a brexit breakthrough? i'm not sure we've got a breakthrough yet because number 10, a keeping incredibly quiet about exactly where we are with the deal . all they'll say is the deal. all they'll say is that rishi sunak is spending the weekend at ten talking to various people . it feels like various people. it feels like we're getting close. that certainly the irish prime minister said we were nudging towards conclusion whether that conclusion is actually going to come tomorrow or the day after. it's difficult to know . we could it's difficult to know. we could have had an identical conversation to this time last week about this and i suppose the litmus test, the canary in coal mine is steve, who is a northern ireland minister and very keen brexiteer , a leading
10:25 pm
very keen brexiteer, a leading member of the european group of eurosceptic within the tory party . and if he stays if he party. and if he stays if he accepts this deal where she's home and hosed, isn't it? but it's a big if. well, i think that more importantly the dup have got to accept the deal and that will be the real kind of litmus test about whether it's going to work. now, steve baker is hugely important. obviously the trouble about this deal is that what we're being warned by whitehall sources is, look, not everyone's going to be happy with that. the people won't give everything. everyone he wants. the questions is what the tory party do about it. will they rebel against rishi sunak or will they force rishi sunak to get the deal through the commons with labour votes which would further split the tory party? it's a real tightrope for the prime minister to at the moment. it is most definitely . nigel, it is most definitely. nigel, come and see us in the studio again very soon. always love
10:26 pm

10:37 pm
newspaper, duncan larcombe, and political commentator anna mcgovern . linda, can we have mcgovern. linda, can we have a look at this? i'm the pm who will get brexit done, says rishi sunak. meanwhile in the sunday telegraph, sunak snubs johnson over new deal. all we hear on the verge of a brexit breakthrough . can we now just breakthrough. can we now just put a. on this and get on with our lives? well, i hope. we can. but is it an actual breakthrough 7 but is it an actual breakthrough ? that's what i'd . i mean, i ? that's what i'd. i mean, i think we can forward. i think we can put it behind us. i wouldn't describe it as a breakthrough but i think everyone in second tired of in the in the great british i think everyone is sick and tired of this subject now they just want an into it is sunak within rights to piss off the irg and the dup? well, it's prerogative to do that, whether should do that is another question. but i mean, i don't think you can make an omelette without cracking eggs at point and someone is going to have to
10:38 pm
be upset. yeah. what do you think about this? many would say that unless has the rubber that unless it has the rubber stamped the and the likes . steve stamped the and the likes. steve baken stamped the and the likes. steve baker, who's northern ireland minister , then this minister, then this is a non—starter. what do you think, duncan? it's an issue . duncan? well, it's an issue. simply doesn't to go away . simply doesn't want to go away. and i suppose in a way, it's encouraging that she's seen that he's now putting this high up an agenda. but again, it seems where we're at with the northern ireland protocol is if we try thing it doesn't work try another it's in all directions so it's a huge for us to see an action probably welcome that he's going to try. i mean is this the moment where where he essentially chooses some sort of resolution and a deal a compromise at expense of the wishes of the dup he can afford politically to not have their support . well he has he has support. well he has he has enough of a majority in the house of parliament, the dup. it looks like major say back this to some degree . we understand.
10:39 pm
to some degree. we understand. yeah. and in the end of the day, it might just come down to simple on the floor of the house like that is going to get us nowhere and a mcgovern . i think nowhere and a mcgovern. i think he's trying to be. i think they know that they're kind of headed for electoral disaster as i think they know they're hitting the end the road. and i think for rishi sunak he's trying to maybe lead to new path be different to boris johnson which i think is why he's kind of going on that contentions streak. and i think for yeah, they know that the next general election comes around it's going they probably don't have it in they probably don't have it in the bag. and i think they know labour has a huge chance of getting into number. so what is this, a scorched policy from sunak that i to say i would be surprised i mean, to be honest personally, i haven't seen rishi sunaki personally, i haven't seen rishi sunak i don't know about the rest of you, but i don't feel like i've seen them too much in the liz truss when she was prime minister, she everywhere she was all the media. i feel all over the media. i feel like
10:40 pm
sunak has a bit of a lower profile. i don't know if the if you would agree, but then you guys would agree, but then i feel like with this he's probably, you know, making his mark. tried to make stand mark. he's tried to make a stand on people. think the sick on people. i think the sick heanng on people. i think the sick hearing about brexit, they just want it done. by putting want it done. so by putting forward something say we're going something different forward something say we're going going something different forward something say we're going going to mething different forward something say we're going going to get1ing different forward something say we're going going to get brexit fferent forward something say we're going going to get brexit done.t we're going to get brexit done. that might sway the tide in his eyes for the election and get more people back he's got to get something actually something done because actually as into a general election as head into a general election there are two that people there are two issues that people are to care about they're are going to care about they're going to about immigration going to care about immigration and. to care and. they are going to care about of living. so he about the cost of living. so he has this work done. he has to get this work done. he somehow. well, i just wonder whether it would if he can get a deal across line and if eurosceptics will swallow it begrudgingly , it changes the begrudgingly, it changes the narrative of his premiership into one in which he has statecraft negotiating , still statecraft negotiating, still skills and essentially the ability to get the job done. you know this just changes the mood of his premiership potentially
10:41 pm
possibly. i don't. do you really think that'll be a factor when people go into the polling in less than two years? does it not suggest? i mean, i agree it's not a priority for most people. it isn't. but does it not? does it not? is messaging not it not? is the messaging not that this guy is competent and is be a big factor is not going to be a big factor in the next election. who would be best prime minister? i am be the best prime minister? i am sure that politics won't charisma. they want integrity , charisma. they want integrity, want gravitas. they want speed . want gravitas. they want speed. and that is often what makes a difference when people the box when they get into the polling booth and he wants to appear that way but at the end of the day, people are going to really, really start feeling the pain. if winter is worse this if next winter is worse this winter and then go straight. winter and then we go straight. an election of following duncan larcombe. a tory mp. larcombe. you're a tory mp. you're not. don't panic. i'm not a tory. i think they'd have made perhaps and i wouldn't apply. well, this and understandably, but imagine you're on the backbenches and you're you're in a marginal but you're a
10:42 pm
eurosceptic. your ecology how do you swallow this deal for the sake of party unity and just the blind hope that you'll back in at the next election is this deal which is going to be better than the current situation. i think that's clear that it will be an improvement to the protocol, if not ideologically perfect. this a to die on for perfect. is this a to die on for the eurosceptics ? i think it's the eurosceptics? i think it's got the potential for that. but the yeah. i mean oven ready brexit deal that i presumably as an mp in the tory party have got elected on last time i think constituents would now be rather with the fact that actually things are still not working as smoothly as were promised, frankly, especially if you happen to be in northern ireland. yeah, yeah. how about this. low level crimes get zero charges. police forces are failing to charge any suspects with . low level offences such as
10:43 pm
with. low level offences such as burglary for months at a time . burglary for months at a time. just 3% of reports of public threats, abuse or harassment led to someone being charged . now, to someone being charged. now, i am concerned about burglary attempts . burglary they call attempts. burglary they call a low level offence . well, i beg low level offence. well, i beg to differ on that one. let yeah, because it's a crime that really matters for sure. it's a crime that hits at their homes and therefore their heart. well, this is it. i mean, don't we need a culture of intolerance of zero tolerance to crime? i there is a culture of intolerance . i is a culture of intolerance. i do think there's a great deal of on the police now about what they have to do each day. i mean, they have to act to support other agencies. in fact , have to, to act in place of other agencies. sometimes it's malcolm completely normal. for example , for a squad car to go example, for a squad car to go out with a mental health nurse on board. they call the mental car and they're going and doing this support in lots of other and therefore they don't have the resources to deal with the nitty gritty of the crimes that
10:44 pm
actually really matter to people to write sunday express crackdown on migrant lawyers . crackdown on migrant lawyers. let's talk about this one. anna mcguffin activist lawyers suspected stringing out asylum claims pocket millions of pounds of taxpayers cash are facing a government crackdown . about government crackdown. about time. yes you know what i think especially immigration, this is going to be on the minds of many people. i think it's you know it has gone quiet, it's gotten high. you know, it's really scale. and i think thinking ahead again to the next election, this will be something on people's minds because . it on people's minds because. it has gone completely out control and the government are doing that much to actually put it under that control. so i think this is something definitely will be a big priority . okay. will be a big priority. okay. lots more from the papers as according to sunday telegraph. james bond goes woke.
10:45 pm
10:46 pm
10:47 pm
10:48 pm
that's welcome back to mark dolan tonight and tomorrow's papers this in the sunday telegraph . this in the sunday telegraph. here we go again james bond books to remove or racist duncan . we've just been through the roald dahl rewrites which were irrational at best. sure. here we go again with james. yeah i mean, it's . well, i'm not. i'm mean, it's. well, i'm not. i'm going. i'm not going to get on the anti—woke bandwagon, but it's hard to not it. i mean, these books were written at a time where culture and society was different . but you time where culture and society was different. but you kind of we know and we should almost that we know . one of agatha that we know. one of agatha christie's books was turn changed to and then there were
10:49 pm
not the titles the three times of that book. and yeah and i couldn't even say or we couldn't even say on air and rightly so there on the n—word. is that . there on the n—word. is that. that's right. and i mean it. there is some common sense that you have to apply to this. if there's something that is absolutely offensive, then then change. but i think i fear that people kind of now scouring through books like roald dahl and obviously james bond and looking to be a be angry and offended for somebody else. and i think once we start doing that, goodness sake, these books for all of to do well, i mean, these sensitivity i mean when they're looking at roald dahl and see the bfg is and they see that the bfg is wearing cloak, which is colour wearing a cloak, which is colour black, which is the colour of the word black is black, is in the word black is black, is in the spectrum of colours . am the spectrum of colours. am i right about that? yes. you've got pink brown blue. yes. black, white so for them to see that the colour of an item of clothing is racist for me, that bestows racism on them. yes you
10:50 pm
know, it's a great irony that these people are the bigots, far as i'm concerned, because if i read a character is wearing a black suit , read a character is wearing a black suit, i'm just saying that wearing a black suit, i don't have racial connotations. day goodbye. are you going to go all the great expectations ? the way to great expectations? you know, well, they probably work over flanders or something or bible. well, terrible. but they would say that. and so anything that can take offence by and i think this trend is happening so widespread in our society now and it's going to keep and worse keep getting and worse everything now will start to cause offence . and i think this cause offence. and i think this you this is a class this you know this is a class this isn't something that should isn't something that we should be and i think that be censor and i think that anything that might be slightly inflammatory will now be censored because . we, you know, censored because. we, you know, they want to keep that bubble. they to promote the they want to promote the censorship . and is censorship. and this is something that's to something that's going to continue. let's talk about america johnson, former gladiators presenter course, writing in sun this week, shared that she has scolded and criticised and judged for having
10:51 pm
four children with four different men. in fact, she's been termed the four by four mum, which is surely deeply sexist. she branded it as pure misogyny as celebrity dads like jude law who has seven children with four different women and. eddie murphy, who has ten kids with five women. a scene is with no judgement cast upon them. whilst she herself and former kitten natalie hamilton are demonised in society. so do we judge women who have children with different fathers? anna i mean, to be fair, i feel sorry for the children in this scenario because especially you're in the public lens , you're in the public lens, aren't you? and you know that fathers, mothers, whatever , that fathers, mothers, whatever, that their lives are all out there. and it's the children that are going to be dragged this, especially if you've got, you know, different partners and all that. i think the i this is something that men and women should be judged for. if this is like that's that is high like i mean that's that is high numbers know. yeah , i numbers, you know. and yeah, i am not surprised . be fair that
10:52 pm
am not surprised. be fair that women would be more you know focussed on this narrative. well yeah so it'll be johnson she's been called a fool by for. i know. yeah. which means it's quite for children for men . quite for children for men. that's, that's indelicate . that's, that's indelicate. horrible. yeah. actually it's rude and it's horrible. that shouldn't happen at. all yeah, i mean, you shouldn't judge women for having multiple fathers for their children. you should that and it shouldn't happen to women more . it happens to men. it's more. it happens to men. it's just. is there a flipside, though? is it bad for society if either partner, male or female , either partner, male or female, has different spouses ? is it has different spouses? is it great for the kids? what matters is that the parent looking after the children has enough time and enough money to raise them to give them, the support they need. now all record .johnson's need. now all record. johnson's got four children by four different men, but she's got enough money. she's got enough time. she's got enough support around doesn't really she around it. it doesn't really she is right. and so the other is quite right. and so the other one is natasha hamilton. yeah,
10:53 pm
yeah. she's quite right. the natalie hamilton hamilton that they're picked upon, women are picked upon because of this . i picked upon because of this. i mean that's the royal prince of in the sun and no one really mentions that the owner, the sun, rupert murdoch, has six children by three women. does he know show ? you know mentions the show? you know, there's i think there's more important things the more important things on in the world now . more people world right now. more people do in personal lives . it's in their personal lives. it's very disgusting. duncan, do very disgusting. duncan, what do you or . well, you old school sexism or. well, it's a no, i sort of harks to the days when if a guy had lots of girlfriends , was a stud, and of girlfriends, was a stud, and if a girl had lots boyfriends, she'd say, yeah . and so i think she'd say, yeah. and so i think maybe the way you look when you said no , he showed it there was said no, he showed it there was an image of me on campus, just as you said it. you should have been looking at linda, but oh , been looking at linda, but oh, oh, she's that . and he's into oh, she's that. and he's into more character assassination . more character assassination. so, look, let's, let's a look at our final story hollywood royalty, catherine zeta—jones
