freed the way for more women to return to work eligible households will be 30 hours of free childcare every week for every child the age of nine months. we have never seen before such a comprehensive attempt to say that in country if people want to work, we should take away the barriers. and that doesn't matter if you're an older person, someone who's disabled , old, someone who's disabled, old, someone who's disabled, old, someone who's looking for work , a parent who's looking for work, a parent worried about childcare . the worried about childcare. the government is on your side if you want to work. we want to help you. jeremy hunt, you want to work. we want to help you. jeremy hunt , the help you. jeremy hunt, the labour leader, sir keir starmer , called the budget a sticking plaster his post was that things aren't quite as bad now as they were in october last . year off were in october last. year off the kamikaze budget . and the the kamikaze budget. and the more that he pretends everything is fine the more he shows just how out of touch they are they're off just 13 years of his government . our economy needed

government. our economy needed major surgery. but like millions across our country, this budget us stuck in the waiting room with only a sticking plaster to hand. with only a sticking plaster to hand . now news away from the hand. now news away from the budget and after concerns about a bank in the united states, the stock exchange suffered its worst losses since , the start of worst losses since, the start of the covid pandemic as fears of a global banking crisis intensify . here in london, the footsie 100 closed down, more than 292 points as global banking stocks went into freefall days after the collapse of the silicon valley in the united states. credit suisse was one of the big players worst affected . seeing players worst affected. seeing its share price drop by a quarter. that's a new record low. and coming a day after the bank had told investors it had to identify any risks in its financial reporting . just financial reporting. just lastly, nasser has unveiled a of the space set to be worn by the

next generation of astronauts who walk on the moon's surface . who walk on the moon's surface. it's not white. it's this time a black spacesuit with orange markers featuring a band and high definition cameras. it also allows far greater mobility than its and it'll be used sharing the ultimate mission which is scheduled . for 2025 facilities scheduled. for 2025 facilities from the gb newsroom. we're back in and out now. back to dan . in and out now. back to dan. was anyone else watching the budget today thinking what on earth did c conservatives do to deserve the pro—china zero covid zealous and arch remoteness hunt at the dispatch box delivery nine high tax big state budget the no good asked for including his own party during last summer's leadership , where he summer's leadership, where he

was roundly and embarrassingly rejected by tory members. high tax hunt . he rejected by tory members. high tax hunt. he was all for cutting the size of the state and taxes, including wait for this pledging to slash corporation tax . to to slash corporation tax. to 12.5 p corporation tax is the tax that matters most to businesses and defines whether we are a pro enterprise economy . i want to cut it to 15, the lowest we're able. we're allowed to cut it to according to international agreements. but now that he's been installed by the global establishment political blow msm and an anti—democratic that saw both bofis anti—democratic that saw both boris johnson and liz truss deposed . he's singing from a new deposed. he's singing from a new hymn sheet. despite pleas from the true conservatives in his department. there were no tax cuts today and corporation tax will soar to a crippling 25% damaging us to a low growth

future after the corporation tax rise this april, 10% of companies will pay the full 25% rate. so what happened , rate. so what happened, chancellor? what what changed for you to go from 15 to 25? the who is really calling the shots well we know from the trust experiment what happens when you pursue a britain first economic policy to challenge the economic orthodoxy so sunak and hunt let's just be honest about it not doing what the financial establishment wants them to do, but at what cost to their own policy. what now distinguishes ? policy. what now distinguishes? the high tax big state tories from the high tax big state labour party before ? the next labour party before? the next election . and look by the way, election. and look by the way, that's not say that they were not some bridge initiatives delivered by hunt in the budget today rebranding nuclear energy for example as enviro sustainable is brave bold and

necessary in the deranged march to net zero pension tax reform dream is long overdue and child care reform stolen. much of the thunder from reeves and slippery starmer , who reluctantly starmer, who reluctantly endorsed the policy childcare of course more money in the system is obviously a good thing . but is obviously a good thing. but today's budget failed to answer a much fundamental question if sunak and hunt are committed to hiking taxes , part of a global hiking taxes, part of a global system and making absolutely no real bids to cut the size of government and the state or reform our failing institute actions like the nhs and the bbc .then actions like the nhs and the bbc . then what exactly is the point of voting conservative at the next election . the former home next election. the former home secretary, priti patel will weigh in on that question in the

show . but to respond first, my show. but to respond first, my superstar panel, former daily star dawn neesom , the political star dawn neesom, the political commentator dominic samuels and the political editor of the sunday mirror , nigel nelson . so, sunday mirror, nigel nelson. so, nigel , say you this budget nigel, say you this budget because it was labour budget. so do you want actually. that's my point if you like it nigel very wrong with this budget . well, wrong with this budget. well, look , they. they nicked. what? look, they. they nicked. what? jeremy hunt was he nicked several ideas from labour's the idea of keeping the energy price guarantee at £2,500. that's been labour policy for the last two or three months. the freeze fuel duty. they've also been calling for that the extension of free childcare, another one. and even just to be the sort of really cheeky he nicked keir starmer as idea of the british energy energy . but by

idea of the british energy energy. but by announcing a great british nuclear company , great british nuclear company, dawn neesom . what do you think dawn neesom. what do you think about whether these whether this new tory regime is true blue has ever mean what is the motivation to vote for a high tech story? i think motivation isn't to scare people like the liz truss effort. i think it's to stabilise where we are now and l, stabilise where we are now and i, i'm not too bad with it, not too bad with it at all. i think the flagship policy of, the childcare issue i think is going to win a lot of labour voters oven to win a lot of labour voters over. so i think that is a good thing and speaking as a woman and my mum of had awful problems when she was younger raising children working. so i think it's a good thing that we will be helping working women to get back into work . hopefully back into work. hopefully stabilise the situation there. so i think it's on the whole

it's not too bad . dominic well it's not too bad. dominic well in my view i mean as well as can we hear dominate . yeah dynamic. we hear dominate. yeah dynamic. well in my view i think there are some good things in the budget. i think important not to catastrophize . i think that the catastrophize. i think that the childcare policy is brilliant because people have long been saying that it's far too expensive for people, especially mothers , to actually contribute mothers, to actually contribute and get back into . and also when and get back into. and also when people about birth rates declining , it's things like declining, it's things like having children not being able to work and it being too expensive. decentralise is people from getting back into . people from getting back into. the only thing is i think the issue with the tax you know for working people and for people without children there really no benefit in terms of this budget . but i think the aim really sort of alluding to what dawn said is to sort of keep the

steering steady until the next election labour wins. exactly but that's pathetic. that's and actually, when the conservative party going to wake up dawn and realise that they will not be elected if they are a pale imitation labour because sure , a imitation labour because sure, a lot of people will vote for the conservatives because believe that labour equals open borders. and i think we've seen the past week with keir starmer's of gary lineker, which we're going to talk about show that talk about later the show that they an open borders party. they are an open borders party. that's their true intentions. but got to have an but you've got to have an economic component to . and i'm economic component to. and i'm struggling to see what the conservatives economic now is. i look, i don't see i really don't . they've done too bad. and i do think the childcare dawn the taxpayer burden is going to be the highest. i think if by 2020 save the corporation and look what we've been through over the last few years. i mean, if you didn't see the that we'd all have to pay more taxes coming

down the line then you were pretty stupid you personally obviously that but well i did see coming i warned anyone see it coming i warned anyone with brain so you with half brain dead. so you knew the tax burden was knew that the tax burden was going go up when bbc did? no. going to go up when bbc did? no. in an itv news that no one except the prime i. i think everyone it i so i think the corporation tax thing a big mistake and rishi sunak campaigned on that. i on keeping that. but but but fundamental the i said, look, i know you don't like this government. you must understand given your vast experience , westminster, that experience, westminster, that conservatives don't win win trying to be you labour. that's what i don't understand why . do what i don't understand why. do they think they are going to be starmer by being new labour? well, bizarre to me, largely because the best idea is that came out of this budget did come labour so what we're doing here is short termism what he's got to do is bring down inflation which should fall. i mean, you know, the prediction is from 10%

now to 2.9, but this is going to happen regardless of the budget, whether that probably would happen regardless of the budget, you're of fuel you're right. because of fuel pnces you're right. because of fuel prices going down? yeah. well, the is, don't then the point is, you don't then stoke up again by throwing stoke it up again by throwing more economy, more money into the economy, which tax tax cuts would which is what tax tax cuts would have well, it doesn't mean have done. well, it doesn't mean that they won't. disagree with that they won't. i disagree with that. and that's a fundamental policy disagreement. but dominate very concerning dominate. what's very concerning to and you know how i feel to me and you know how i feel high tax hunt and he's very signed up to the globalist agenda and you think about it and actually he is now marching to the beat of the drum of the big economic institutions who don't want the uk to have an oecd omg independence who want us to go with this minimum corporation tax that the rest of the world might sign up to at one point. and it's wrong. it's wrong. it just is so fundamental wrong. it just is so fundamental wrong because that isn't why we voted to brexit. yeah i mean thatis voted to brexit. yeah i mean that is the issue. i think it's the lack of democratic oversight

especially when people like hunt and people like sunak are signed to a general financial consensus in terms of how they want to do this and that's going to slow growth. all that is going to us to low growth. and you can say whatever you want about. liz truss but she wasn't prepared to up to a low growth future and unfortunately after the budget and yes i think there was some great innovations some great initiatives in the budget and i am to praise them but am happy to praise them but fundamentally struggle when a fundamentally i struggle when a conservative government is increasing corporation tax rates and by the way, you've got to look around the world no other country in the western world is increasing their corporation tax rates at all, but also those lower than other parts of the world. and i think the only countries, only major country thatis countries, only major country that is colombia. and i don't think should be following their economic policy . but dawn neesom economic policy. but dawn neesom time it was. nigel nelson, thank

you so much. superstar family here all night but also coming up as sarah ferguson changes her on meghan having previously claimed barely met her claimed she had barely met her is the sussex pr machine gearing up ahead may's coronation. up ahead of may's coronation. roebuck angela levin me roebuck angela levin joins me very soon. but up next in the clash, chairman of cobra beer lord karen . billie maria goes up lord karen. billie maria goes up against former chief secretary to the treasury david mellor parliamentary writer , parliamentary sketch writer, telegraph columnist madeleine and the tory mp greg smith. it's and the tory mp greg smith. it's a mega clash tonight to decide whether today's budget for growth was ultimately a success or failure. what you reckon that gbnews.uk vote in our poll now at gb news news we're back in just couple of minutes .

my my exclusive sit down with the former secretary priti patel coming . but it's time former secretary priti patel coming. but it's time now for the clash and the government's free childcare will lend a hand up to hard up parent eventually, but the budget would some major limitations unsurprisingly high tax. jeremy failed to slash any levies for hard working brits while hiking corporation tax . 19 while hiking corporation tax. 19 to 25. nevertheless the government celebrated their so—called budget for growth. with this crunch post on social media mocking . matt hancock's media mocking. matt hancock's criminally disgust in leaked

lockdown files . lockdown files. but should sunak and hunt really be fist bump and celebration? well, tonight i'm you was today's budget a success or failure? send your thoughts to gb news. dan gbnews.uk my email address or you can tweet me at gb news. our poll running there too, but i've got a stellar line up to debate this tonight. i'm joined by the chairman of, cobra beer and vice president of the cbi, lord curran memorial, former chief secretary to the treasury and tory grandee david mellor , the parliamentary sketch mellor, the parliamentary sketch writer and columnist at the daily telegraph madeline grant. and the concern of mp for buckingham , greg smith. okay, so

buckingham, greg smith. okay, so we a range of views tonight lord belmore, yet you the budget was a failure. why i am saying that this budget is not a budget for growth in the sense that it should be. i think the government should be far bolder . i said to the chancellor when he was chancellor, rishi sunak, two years ago, in february 2021, don't increase taxes because you've increased will stifle growth and hamper the recovery. we didn't realise that not only with the pandemic drag on for another year, we'd have the war in ukraine. all the problems that have existed for prices for three years, the worst since the second war and we've had second world war and we've had inflation, prices, supply inflation, energy prices, supply issues, labour it's issues, labour shortages. it's one thing after another. and what is the government do? what rishi sunak to put up taxes to the extent that they're the highest in years. this highest level in 70 years. this is time to put up taxes is not the time to put up taxes put off corporation tax from 19% 25. that's it by almost one third in one swoop is really really damaging not only

domestically but it hampers inward investment . this little inward investment. this little country of less than 1% of the world's population has historically been an attractive second or third largest in the world of inward investment. when you put up corporation tax 5% and our neighbour ireland has a top rate of 12 and a half, that is really damaging and i'm really concerned about that on. the hand, but the cbi the other hand, but the cbi where i've been president until recently expecting a double recently were expecting a double whammy of increase of corporation removal corporation tax and the removal of the super deduction. the 130% relief when you invested , i said relief when you invested, i said to rishi when he was chancellor please replace it with something he would and he's kept he promised would and he's kept this promise , got a this promise, we've got a compensation of 100. if you invest in technology in plant and equipment and machinery, you can write off 100% of it. that's very good news because that incentivises so we've got that was the positive . that was was the positive. that was a positive. but it still doesn't up for the corporation tax hike. madeleine grant what you saying success or failure ? are you on success or failure? are you on the fence? i. what that why is

that after the last what was called the, the statement from liz truss that was allegedly really a full budget and the fallout from that you can kind of understand why they would want to not spook the horses too much not do anything too ambitious as bill morris said there was obviously a lot to celebrate. i think one of the areas where there was i was quite disappointed was the news , the childcare , the extra money , the childcare, the extra money going in there because . i think going in there because. i think fundamentally what they're trying to do is, you know, subsidise it more for families with young children, but actually not necessary getting to the grip of the supply issue . why is it so expensive in the first place? so i think it lacked bit of the supply side thing. seemed like more an thing. it seemed like more an attempt subsidise and attempt to subsidise it and there's already great there's already been a great deal subsidy going into the deal of subsidy going into the childcare results childcare sector. the results have well, we see for have been, well, we see for ourselves. so for it was it ourselves. so for me it was it

was a mixed bag with some good news and perhaps some underwhelming news alongside it . interesting. especially that take on the childcare policy which has been viewed . one of which has been viewed. one of the rabbits out of the hat . the rabbits out of the hat. david mellor what say high tax hunfs david mellor what say high tax hunt's budget a success or failure ? well, it's not failure? well, it's not a success, is it? i needed a few of karen's beers to get through it. actually, it's not a success and. and the reason it's not a success is because no belief there . you know, when i was there. you know, when i was chief secretary of the treasury, margaret thatcher had taken us from 34% of the of the national wealth being consumed by taxation down to 27. labour drove that up back up and the tories under sunak and his predecessors have driven it back up further . you cannot be up further. you cannot be a successful, chancellor , unless successful, chancellor, unless you have a belief unless you have a mission. now i don't blame jeremy hunt in one sense

for not having ambition because he was thrown in literally at the defended delivery experience , competent minister , he has had , competent minister, he has had no experience. what's ever in the past in the in the treasury . but i just think this is a relief pre—budget and it's a disgrace . i mean, i agree with disgrace. i mean, i agree with everything karen but maurya said i don't disagree with this beer , agree with his opinions, everything said, look what is a conservative government doing increasing corporation . by 30% increasing corporation. by 30% and then pretending it doesn't ? and then pretending it doesn't? i looked at my history books and as far as i can see, the last time was any kind of increase the scale of corporation tax was back in 1974 under an incoming . back in 1974 under an incoming. spend spend spend . labour spend spend spend. labour government . i just think it's government. i just think it's outrage that the conservatives should think that this is something cheer about and an awful fist pumping. they should

find a more style ish way of celebrating. i think . well, celebrating. i think. well, look, i'm with you . i'm with look, i'm with you. i'm with you, david. this is a tough one for you, greg smith, how do you defend your party's budget after that ? take down from one of your that? take down from one of your party grandees is well, well done.i party grandees is well, well done. i was one of the mps that was calling on the chancellor to cut corporation tax or at least keep it where was. so to that extent it was and i am worried about the prospects of growth , about the prospects of growth, the back of us going to going from the ninth lowest corporation tax of the oecd , corporation tax of the oecd, eight to the ninth highest that is a concern. but i think there was some good news in the budget. the list you gave at the top of your show was an accurate reflection of the good points, the full expensing to get businesses invest in. although if you look at some of the modelling around what that will actually do to the economy, where that will actually get businesses investing, you could have difference and have split the difference and only corporation tax to only increase corporation tax to say not that i'm defending

say 22. not that i'm defending an increase in corporation tax . an increase in corporation tax. childcare stuff i think will make a huge difference. but i agree with some of the points around fixing supply side elements that the very technical change to pensions actually , it change to pensions actually, it probably won't resonate on the doorstep that much. but if it were, it will make a huge difference to the number of doctors actively choosing to leave nhs to leave the service. they've worked so hard for all their and done so much training to become doctors full because . to become doctors full because. the pension system was just working against them was giving the kind of incentive to so they're you know at the they're also you know at the page reform that was great i mean madeleine grant i guess one of that there of the key issues is that there seem to be any more a fundamental belief in this tory government that they need to bnng government that they need to bring down the size the state that they need to reform our failing institutions like the nhs and the bbc. it's almost like have they given up. well it's kind of interesting because

i remember during the tory leadership contest when jeremy hunt was actually running as a potential candidate for that election and, he was very adamant that corporation tax levels had to be very indeed. yeah, i wanted to come in. oh 15 sort of taking us into ireland territory and clearly he understood the value of doing that last year and now i don't think you can simply say that present economic circumstances are different because of the fall out from the trust budget. it does, i think, as you say, to a lack of vision and also i think perhaps a missed opportunity now that , in many opportunity now that, in many ways we seem be progressing beyond the brexit disputes that have prevent the government from really fully capitalising on that decision. we were always told that, you know, after brexit the idea would be not just to be vaguely better than like france and germany in terms of tax competitive , but to be of tax competitive, but to be kind of aggressively competitive . yeah. and we could smash them with we've lost that attitude , with we've lost that attitude, though. and so what changed, david, matter what what changed?

how does hunt go from saying that corporation tax increase corporation tax would damage our economy to a low growth future last summer when he's running for leadership to agreeing to increase it to 225 pe who's calling the shots are they so terrified after international economic turned on the uk after the trust budget . well, don't the trust budget. well, don't forget jeremy had failed to become leader the way i'm an admirer of jeremy hunt let's be quite clear about this. but it doesn't mean i think he's a great chancellor he's a chancellor by accident. and he basically had the sign up to what he's really a rishi sunak treasury. now look, rishi sunak many great advantages . treasury. now look, rishi sunak many great advantages. i'm told he's got the best swimming pool in, but i have tell you, i don't think rishi sunak is a man with passion, beliefs . no, i mrs. passion, beliefs. no, i mrs. thatcher was prime minister of this country for 11 years and i was one of her ministers for

nine. i sometimes i'd wake up and think, how can we have gone from mrs. thatcher to really a conviction free like rishi yeah , a globalist technocrat. i mean up the moria. what does this mean? business now? because you see, astrazeneca deciding to relocate to ireland because of corporation tax. i mean, is that going to with many more businesses and do you think there's the possibility that the government might actually see sense before the next election ? sense before the next election? i'll actually go one step further than david. i think that the government needs to be much bolder and there is no sense of urgency. all these childcare agree they're going to start next in august and then phased in and eventually to 2025 lifelong learning account . we lifelong learning account. we need to scale up our workforce that was announced before this budget. it's only going to start next year . why not? now it's

next year. why not? now it's time that reactors, nuclear reactors , just do it, people. reactors, just do it, people. they can be built . just do it. they can be built. just do it. hallelujah there needs to be a sense of urgency here. there needs to be a boldness to go growth, to encourage small and medium sized enterprises. where's the rs 35 reform? oh, i know. i did. that was one of the best things that was of the best things in the quad tag mini—budget. the reform of our 35 that wasn't even spoken about today so greg smith is a lack of urgency in the conservative now and what are backbenchers like you going to do to get sunak and hunt tory? they don't have lock on this leadership you know bofis on this leadership you know boris johnson depending on i know david bell is going to hate this concept, but depending on what happens at the privileges committee next boris committee next week, boris johnson them . i johnson is stalking them. i think this there's got to think that this there's got to be a greater sense of urgency. germany as jeremy as he's delivered his budget statement earlier, did hint at greater things to come in the autumn statement. but may well

statement. but that may well be too i think one of the too late. i think one of the most pressing and urgent reforms we to make, though, is to we need to make, though, is to get ourselves out of the straitjacket are straitjacket that is the obe are so long as continue to take as gospel. what this organisation which has never knowingly been right they were 70 billion quid on last march is budget. we'll wait to see how much out they are in their forecasts time so long as we are absolute held to their false forecasts that i'll never hold that they're going to get couldn't agree on that. i couldn't agree more. greg smith , the mp for buckingham , , the mp for buckingham, alongside the chairman of cobra and former vice president of the cbi, lord karan bela maurya, former chief secretary to the treasury, tory david mallet and the brilliant columnist and parliamentary sketch at the daily telegraph, madeleine grant . you all. but who do you agree with this? as chana said, with on this? as chana said, jeremy hates corporation jeremy hunt hates corporation tax, slash levies tax, fails to slash any levies for hard working brits. what's today's budget growth? today's budget for growth? a success failure ali, success or failure? well, ali, on , liz truss had the on twitter, liz truss had the right idea , but they wanted her

right idea, but they wanted her out. now we have a budget for stagnation. who's going to want to britain with to invest britain with corporation that high. hear corporation tax that high. hear hear email michael writes hear on email michael writes today's budget is an of political responsibility . hunt political responsibility. hunt is a socialist masquerading as a conservative. where have all the conservatives gone . and for conservatives gone. and for malcolm the green on starmer's face said it all. hunt and the tories have done themselves favours today and with an election coming up next year thatis election coming up next year that is very dangerous indeed . that is very dangerous indeed. and your verdict is now 22% of you say hunt's budget was a success. 78% of you believe it was a failure. wow still to come, as rowling admits she knew fans would be deeply unhappy with her trans views. should we applaud, the author for putting her principles above popularity for, the education minister, andrea jenkins , who wanted to andrea jenkins, who wanted to meet with the author turned feminist warrior before woke civil seven, stepped to in stop her is going to be live with me

on this in the studio. but next, the journalist royal author angela levin. if fergie's sudden for meghan markle is a sign of the sussex pr machine going into overdrive ahead of the coronation. i'll see you .

in three. welcome back. now, sarah

ferguson has just returned from los angeles , where she was los angeles, where she was carrying out a stack of promotion events for her new historical novel. of course, she was . but has historical novel. of course, she was. but has fergie fallen for the montecito high life during her visit . because in an her visit. because in an interview with the press association she said if the sussexes i believe very strongly that i have absolutely no judgement on any other person's life. and i look at it how much meghan loves harry and loves the children and gives her the love that had before . well, i'm that is had before. well, i'm joined now by prince harry's biographer and royal expert, angela levin. i mean, look, it's so rare for any member of the firm to speak out about harry and meghan in this way. this is all very complicated anyway, because just a few days earlier, fergie had said that she barely meghan. and how believes that meghan. and how believes that meghan gives harry a love he's never had before really because i look back and i think harry was much love and very happy actually with his former girlfriend now he looks miserable. yes well, it's very

interesting, isn't it, because less than a week ago she was saying she didn't know them. she hardly been. but i wonder whether her daughter told her to boost it up because she's friendly with or they told her. but she was actually full of how wonderful they are saying . wonderful they are saying. ludicrous. so i think it a bit like a romantic story in a family that actually sort of thing she'd like to write about , which is not true at all. i think she felt that diana would very, very proud of the two children. how would she know that if she doesn't even them? and also , i think that's true . and also, i think that's true. absolutely. diana would be horrified that they hadn't seen their paternal family because she although she didn't work well for her in royal family, she did absolutely it. and she was brought up to be very respectful. and she was . so respectful. and she was. so that's a very odd thing. she attacked the institution. never

no, no, no. and diana would be utterly mortified at the idea of harry was meant to be there in her mind as a constant support for prince william before he became king. with harry actually trying to destroy his repute . trying to destroy his repute. yes, she would have actually got their heads and buying them together. she would be so upset because her whole was based on the fact that she wanted them to be close. so they were very close. harry said me when close. harry said to me when i was writing his biography year, they got closer and closer and they got closer and closer and they could really feel they could say anything each other. and now it's just horrendous. the other thing about, a good wife or any partner is that you help them overcome things. and meghan has not done that . i meghan has not done that. i mean, i think she should have said, don't talk about drugs my darling, because you might find it difficult to get back into. you know, don't actually look as if you're incredibly unhappy. what can i do to help cheer you

up? but he looks worse and worse. he looks quite ill. he looks as if there's nothing going on inside him . whereas i going on inside him. whereas i was looking some pictures that i took of him in 2018 and it was his life . his face was full. he his life. his face was full. he was happy . and also the nonsense was happy. and also the nonsense thatis was happy. and also the nonsense that is had love more than any other love he's had before . i other love he's had before. i mean, he did his first two ated by her, but he was very happy with his previous girlfriend who's up with eight years. and he wrote chelsea davy and he wrote his father to say this is the one. she's the one for me. and charles wrote back, this is what harry me. charles wrote back and said , go easy. you know back and said, go easy. you know , go. it was very young . don't , go. it was very young. don't rush for it, you know , take it rush for it, you know, take it easy. life changes . and then he easy. life changes. and then he would actually. what a shame. i mean, if he had married chelsea , he would probably have been a much happier more content person still in the royal family today

. is it true , angela, that you . is it true, angela, that you say harry is quite obviously scared of meghan? yes what do you mean by that? well, i think it's well, that meghan is delightful . you say something delightful. you say something she doesn't you to say, and then she's really scary . and i think she's really scary. and i think he is frightened . frightened of he is frightened. frightened of her because way he looks at her, her because way he looks at her, he doesn't want say something if she to speak. if she wants to someone before he steps back. he's very nervous. and i think that commands it all quite because this is not the harry he was few years ago and the only reason he's not like that is he's following the requests of meghan. he himself what meghan wants , meghan gets. and that's wants, meghan gets. and that's what it's and it's a tragedy because i think that he let's just say do things that anyone else would say, no, this isn't how it works. this is wrong. and we have to be honest, the sussexes pr team has clearly gone into overdrive here. they

didn't like the fact that fergie was distancing herself from meghan. clearly there's been a word in her saying something nice about them. as you say, it may come by usually because we know how close she is with the pair . but i'd know how close she is with the pair. but i'd actually like to know fergie's real views about the sussexes, because i what we've seen here is i think pr spin. yeah, i think the first time she said it that was her. i mean, but we don't know. meghan said to oprah winfrey . she said to oprah winfrey. she taught me how to curtsy in 2016, when i was going to see the queen. now that very odd because, you know, if they talk and they had a meal together afterwards the windsor lodge with , prince andrew but it makes with, prince andrew but it makes those i think all that was she wasn't that could she believes in family fergie and i believe the family was operating on the concept of if you don't something nice to say about your family members don't say anything at all and that's why she was trying to distance up

because of course she'll be very disappointed way that harry disappointed the way that harry and meghan have both tried to attack prince . all they have to attack prince. all they have to say about her that even though they're divorced , they are they're divorced, they are a close family and the girls, they love her and all that. so she's done that very well and she believes strongly in that. she adored queen said adored the queen who she said was a better mother than was a much better mother than her mother. so i think she her own mother. so i think she would be horrified by what they've to be so rude to they've done to be so rude to her she was so ill. so i'd her when she was so ill. so i'd like have it off the record like to have it off the record conversation, actually, to hear that idea that i did deliver. we will speak next week. and i think so much about coming up with the mother of missing claudia lawrence slamming the bbc for sending through demands for daughter to continue paying the licence. is this more proof of why it should be scrapped? my pc panel thrashed that one out after i delivered the first surprise front pages just after ten. but first, from j.k. rowling to grant tory mp and former education editor andrea jenkins joins me live in the

studio to go through cultural conflicts next . there's help for households. are you over state pension age? if your weekly income is below £182.60, or £278.70 if you live with a partner, you could be eligible for pension credit, even if you own your home or have savings. it's worth, on average, £3,500 a year and you could get help with heating bills and more,

plus up to £900 in cost of living payments.

next back, my exclusive sit down with the former home secretary priti patel. coming up but first, the world's most successful j.k. rowling has finally addressed the vicious trans backlash against her stance on the rights biological women, explaining her of the story in the podcast, the witch trials of j.k. rowling . witch trials of j.k. rowling. absolutely knew if i spoke out many , people who had loved my many, people who had loved my books would be deeply unhappy with me. and i was considerate enough to find my management and say , are you kind of argument say, are you kind of argument out of this? and i read out what was about to say because felt they they needed warning . time they they needed warning. time will tell whether i've got this wrong. i can only say that i've

thought about it deeply . i've thought about it deeply. i've listened. i promised to the other side. and i believe absolute lutely that there is something dangerous about this movement and it must be challenged . isn't she brilliant challenged. isn't she brilliant ? thankfully, the issues were wrongly and phobia aimed at the author doesn't seem have knocked off course. and i'm delighted to be joined now live from the studio by another strong woman who certainly afraid of who certainly isn't afraid of winding up the woke mob. it is the tory former education minister andrea jenkins so . i minister andrea jenkins so. i really think we have to applaud rowling for putting her principles above popular at sea here. i completely agree. i'll take my hat off to her. she's ballsy woman and she's principles and i mean regarding the whole trans debate, i was taking the freedom of speech, bill, through parliament that was due to and i was ready to desperate to meet j.k. rowling and have what she's really been

and have what she's really been and the department kept thinking excuses pushing back and yes i never got a chance to meet her and fortunately the sort of blob. yes most definitely. do you think that because they are infected by, what elon musk describes as the woke mind virus? i think without a doubt, dan, i mean, we are more than happy to. have ministers meeting bill gates the time, why not bill gates the time, so why not j.k. complete ? i mean, j.k. rowling complete? i mean, regarding debate, regarding the trans debate, though spot on. to though i think she's spot on. to me, i don't care how. people want to live their lives. life's too short, be happy. but if you've got a tackle you shouldn't be in a women's changing room women's prison changing room and women's prison and the fact of the matter is , and the fact of the matter is, to me, there's two genders, male and female , and can be and female, and a woman can be policy . they ain't got bonds . policy. they ain't got bonds. well, i agree that garry lunacy though that rock to parliament this week continued overnight with the dup politicians mean wilson calling for an end to the compulsory licence fee. watch this bbc has shown once again

it's impossible because of the bias inherent within it to be impartial . and it is night—time impartial. and it is night—time that all the bbc no longer forced to find a p b people are no longer forced to finance the bbc through the licence fee. something that we are considering . not least because considering. not least because there are fewer people paying there are fewer people paying the licence fee. we are concerned that the public is losing support for the licence fee . so she says the public are fee. so she says the public are losing support for the licence . losing support for the licence. i mean, hasn't this whole woke stunt by lineker and, his mob of millionaires champagne swilling socialist backfired spectacularly complete . and i spectacularly complete. and i mean , i've been part of the mean, i've been part of the defund the campaign , defund the defund the campaign, defund the bbc campaign for years. defund the campaign, defund the bbc campaign for years . and i bbc campaign for years. and i think it's a regret it's a form of taxation which hits the poorest. and you see those who go to court it's the poorest people who can't afford to pay. and it's not with the times. why

they money out of they make the money out of advertising other advertising like other broadcasters. i'd to broadcasters. and i'd like to see our conservative government before the end of parliament to defund bbc . now, look, i've defund the bbc. now, look, i've got to talk you about your got to talk to you about your old mate hugh grant. he has rubbed so people up the wrong way this, including you. way over this, including you. but at what he already did. but look at what he already did. this week. the misery goes . are this week. the misery goes. are you most excited to see tonight to see. yeah, well, i know that you probably watched a few of the movies are you excited to see anybody win? do you have your hopes up for. i'm not. not not? no, no one in particular. what does it feel like to be in glass? onion? it was such an amazing film. i really loved it. i love a thriller. how fun is it to shoot something that. well, i'm barely in it. in it for about 3 seconds. yeah but still, you showed up and you had fun, right? almost. okay. all right. okay well, thank you so much. it was nice to talk to you. yeah andrew, you've had your own battle . hugh grant. his response

and nice and decent. but i do recall that i've pulled a similar during theresa may's pm. q when she said that brexit means brexit. so, you know, we do funny faces at times if we're expressing to jenkins , like you expressing to jenkins, like you say, brilliant, have you had thank you done but covid of as high tax harms out his first full budget just as the party serious about illegal migration june for my exclusive with the former home secretary priti patel who delivers her bombshell verdict on the budget and stopping the boats . but first, stopping the boats. but first, as cool bbc staff hound claudia lawrence for her licence fee over 13 years after she tragically disappeared . is this tragically disappeared. is this just another example of why this compulsory pole tax must be scrapped altogether ? my scrapped altogether? my superstore panel are going to have their say next. we're back in just 2 minutes time.

be up in may moments. first, though, polly middlehurst . though, polly middlehurst. that's right. you and the beauty on tuesday, june . six. this is on tuesday, june. six. this is its first positive of sorts . mr. its first positive of sorts. mr. hunt said . the goal of the hunt said. the goal of the session this year, he said the existence of the 27 chief would licence . i told this meeting is licence. i told this meeting is . a contentious reduction incentive package. the

apologies for she's looking very beautiful tonight our polly middlehurst sadly we couldn't era so let's do tomorrow is used tonight now in the media us and the metro leeds with the easy doesit the metro leeds with the easy does it budget as it reports jeremy hunt's pledge to quote ease country back to work while avoiding a recession. this year. can we see the metro? if not, oh, there we go. there we go my superstore panel back with me and hopefully we can hear former daily star editor dawn neesom maybe. no, actually, maybe would be better. political commentator . dominique samuels and the political editor of the sunday mirror and sunday people nigel nelson now slippery . starmer nelson now slippery. starmer tried and failed to land a blow on the tories today by accusing them of attacking free speech in them of attacking free speech in the bbc's gary lineker , the bbc's gary lineker, forgetting it was his party who initially condemned the tweets all them blame everyone else.

why doesn't he take responsibility? stand to a snowflake campaigns war on free speech. mr. speaker, just the usual usual political opportunism from the leader of the labour . i don't know if he the labour. i don't know if he knows this, but actually first the shadow attorney general and then the shadow home secretary actually criticised the language that had been used in the twitter . but while the bbc twitter. but while the bbc cleans up the mess of one embarrassing scandal. cleans up the mess of one embarrassing scandal . they were embarrassing scandal. they were also dealing with another shameful episode today. it's been 14 years since the tragic claudio lawrence went missing , claudio lawrence went missing, but heartache came flooding to her devastated family week, all thanks to the vultures at the corporation. disgrace ruefully. the bbc is hounding claudia for a tv licence at her cottage in york, despite cops sparking a murder probe after she vanished without a trace in 2009. her

distraught mum, joan, who i just my heart goes out to her, said there a letter recently threatening a £1,000 fine if the licence wasn't paid. it's unbelievable . well, i've written unbelievable. well, i've written to them to tell them what's happened. and the police are supposed to be sorting it out. but the letters still come receiving these letters causes me untold heartache. now bbc apologise. they claim the letters hadn't been in claudia's name and it's promised to stop after told the house was empty . after told the house was empty. but joan's appalling treatment heaps more pressure on the fumbling corporation to have its licence fee scrapped , least licence fee scrapped, least after these sham lineker affair so torn. is this more proof that defunding the bbc needs to be a top political for gary lineker? is it a one derful thing? he's on us all huge favour, don't you ? i mean, he is the knee dog as the bbc is, and he? i mean, what he says goes, i mean, the big

they the bbc have absolutely no testicles whatsoever standing up to him he can get away with it when he's paid £1.35 million a year on top of the 1.3 million he gets by flogging crisps. and then the bbc. but this appalling i mean 2020 52,000 people will find by the beeb say 76% of them women probably vulnerable women as well. and i just think it's appalling that we are paying for appalling that we are paying for a company that can't even control their employees. i gary lineker, i mean, it's just, you know, on the very day tim davie , the current director general, come out and said, you know, well, you know, we are working together now. gary's promised to make good by not doing . gavin make good by not doing. gavin was out there tweeting was back out there tweeting again political as he again, being as political as he likes . indeed. and dominique, i likes. indeed. and dominique, i mean, i don't any of us should have to pay this poll tax . it's have to pay this poll tax. it's actually sick that in 2023 simply watch any television station in the uk. you have to pay station in the uk. you have to pay this licence. it's the way,

though that they hound and. they hate to and don't care about people's posts or circumstances. i yeah, come on. clearly lawrence, she's been missing for 13 years. give it up. but it's not just missing people . it's not just missing people. it's people who are in poverty . it's people who are in poverty. it's the elderly who are faced between turning their tv for good or heating their homes. i think they are an inhumane , sane think they are an inhumane, sane organisation. yeah, i it's completely dystopian idea that you must enforce all this licence fee for many people that don't actually use most of the bbc services . i mean don't actually use most of the bbc services. i mean this might be slightly controversial those that claim that the bbc is one of the eighth wonders of the world. but i think the whole idea of having a state broadcaster is quite to stoke in to be because know we don't need it looking at the content pumps out a lot of it is bias i don't think any of it really serves the public very well and particularly during course of

the lockdowns were going on, there was no journalistic integrity even recently the bbc posted an article claiming the pandemic had minimal impact on mental health. a very clickbait headune. mental health. a very clickbait headline . then when you scroll headline. then when you scroll through the headline you find out that the review that they're promoting actually didn't focus on any of the vulnerable groups, which is how they came that conclusion. i think at the conclusion. and i think at the there are some real problems with the bbc and a result of course the licence fee should be decriminalised. of course , decriminalised. of course, that's what i said. how can you justify the way that the bbc hounds folk who are on to pay their revolt tax, including missing claudia lawrence. yeah i wouldn't it at all. but bear in mind it's not the bbc that's an outside agency that actually deals with . i've had letters deals with. i've had letters like that myself , lived when like that myself, lived when i was living in dublin. like that myself, lived when i was living in dublin . yeah, this

was living in dublin. yeah, this is threatening you down? yep. threatening but it turned out i was living in a in a in a block of flats where were four flats. they saying get a flat five. but unless were people on the roof there was no flat five in this block. they kept sending the letters. i kept telling there was no flat five. they carried on threatening until i wrote about them in the newspaper. they didn't stop . yeah. and dawn they didn't stop. yeah. and dawn is right . she they didn't stop. yeah. and dawn is right. she dominique in that lineker is actually he he's he's leaning in to his power now he's saying to tim davie i'm ignoring your rules. i'm going to continue to be partisan. i'm going to continue you to be political. and my little woke mob of multimillionaire virtue signal are going to follow me and.so signal are going to follow me and. so davie is now between a rock and a hard place. he has lost control of the completely lost control of the completely lost control of the completely lost control and lost control of

those. the bbc employees because gary lineker feels absolutely untouchable. he's pumped up by the rabid left, in my opinion . the rabid left, in my opinion. they've been making this some of free speech issue . whenever free speech issue. whenever there's an actual free speech issue, though, these very same people are really quite silent . people are really quite silent. all of a sudden, you know , gary all of a sudden, you know, gary lineker is this martyr. and if this continues , the situation this continues, the situation will only get worse. i'm not sure what can do because left have been radicalised into believing that the bbc is some sort of thug on for the right whilst the right believe that the bbc because of people like lineker or for gone for the left yeah but all in all some things going to have to change. yeah that's sure. now look carol vorderman is reputation for sticking it to man has come sticking it to the man has come under scrutiny after being snapped with the disgraced matt hancock at the cheltenham festival in recent months might know that carol has savage

hancock by calling him a and disgusting i don't disagree with any of that by the way and having to play on his name in a series scathing social media posts about the tories. but shots appear to show her happily chatting with the shamed former health secretary andrew savage in a column angelo yesterday it sparked a wave of criticism from fans who accused her of being faced. here's how vorderman explained herself last night looking out at the course . tough looking out at the course. tough on the shoulder. hello, my gina. and then i turn round as matt hancock . hello. my name's matt . hancock. hello. my name's matt. hello, i'm matt. i'm an. oh hello i'm carol this is my friend jill was what you meant to air in the rule book. she called him a in the rule books. can you alan samuels weighed in with this tweet saying vorderman schmoozing with hancock where she thinks nobody will notice

but plays the whistle blower onune but plays the whistle blower online comic. cool. but plays the whistle blower online comic . cool. so, but plays the whistle blower online comic. cool. so, dominic, have you changed your mind after seeing carol explanation? oh, come on. i've not changed my mind at all. that is a complete copout. and i think the lady protest too much because we saw the pictures . you were laughing, the pictures. you were laughing, you were joking , were you were joking, were schmoozing. that is what was happening . and the thing is, happening. and the thing is, what i think is so duplicitous about this is carol's out on social media. you sticking it to the tories she's talking about corruption . she's had some very corruption. she's had some very harsh words for hancock. but actually, when it comes down to it, these people , they're all it, these people, they're all the same club . they're all in it the same club. they're all in it together and online show a different face. and it it is comical and i for one was not convinced by carol when it emerged that really she's a labour party activist but hopefully with these pictures more people actually see it's just a game for these people and it's also really primarily about attention. doing your friends with carol. do you want to stand

up for her? yeah, i do. i do respect carol i respect a lot what she's done. and i also understand she was from. understand where she was from. if and it was very if someone and it was very public. i mean, it's not like she was trying hide what it she was trying to hide what it was like. you tapped on the shoulder and if you're a certain generation, someone shoulder and if you're a certain gener'talking someone shoulder and if you're a certain gener'talking to someone shoulder and if you're a certain gener'talking to i'momeone shoulder and if you're a certain gener'talking to i'm not one starts talking to me. i'm not going. tell them to go away. uncle star feels that passionately about issue, though she confront but i. she should confront it. but i. yeah, i would just go i would have actually said after those lockdown files come them on i would have actually said something and we don't know that she didn't she hasn't said that. but they he started talking about is a cause about dyslexia which is a cause that carol has championed from day so anyway , she probably day one. so anyway, she probably have been tough on him wanting to block funding for the for disabled kids. i know she probably should have done, but was there i get the i get the fact that it was very hard nigel has an interesting take this because your lovely wife you will wife a senior will laugh lee wife a senior successful conservative party adviser how do you deal with

this stuff because you must have all of your leftie mates she all of her right wing mates what do do in these situations when you written something we all on and this is the point the carol vorderman that if you run you know i've written some pretty nasty things about tories in my time yes you would i run into them i'm polite we on is understood that i'm doing my job they're doing this weird thing though because she wasn't just being a journalist. she called him a series of names. if you actually look at the pictures , actually look at the pictures, it wasn't just a bit of conversation. it was. he like it was because you know what's going on. but that's because that's what celebrities are like, right? yeah. they're all fake. they all pretend to like each other. me, the vast majority, them slag the person off the moment they , turn the off the moment they, turn the other way. so you really like but in this case i think voters you know i like the woman i think actually she has to now

practise what she preaches and this was an opportunity her to prove to the public that she would stand up to hancock in the same way that she does on the face. no, but say to him, you have been exposed i want to do an interview with you. and now but was straightforward but this was straightforward meeting and you you just sort of just turn the other way. this is the other way. i'm sorry. know, i saw hancock at a concert last year after i'd done my big to toe with him here and i just said to my friend , i'm going the said to my friend, i'm going the other direction. i do not want to speak to this man in a social situa fashion because i'll say something to you on the shoulder. what would have shoulder. what would you have done? really don't done? i'd say, i really don't want to talk you now. right. because a slimeball. i because he's a slimeball. i asked interview or asked for an interview or something. had one. i something. i just had one. i just one. i knew that this just one. and i knew that this bloke was complete lie to get bloke was a complete lie to get another now no, no , another one. now no, no, no, that's for sure. nigeria has a long history you still need to do stand by because coming up have the marxist unions selfish strikes which were largely

shrugged a wary british shrugged off by a wary british pubuc shrugged off by a wary british public ultimately failed public. they ultimately failed my panel going to my superstar panel going to return to debate that soon. but next the day of jeremy hunt's next on the day of jeremy hunt's big british budgie and with a migrant crisis in full swing , migrant crisis in full swing, the home secretary priti the former home secretary priti patel, gives her expert opinion on the new financial details . on the new financial details. aid, including that corporation rise and the boats . my exclusive rise and the boats. my exclusive sit down the former home secretary coming up in just a couple of minutes .

welcome and it's time now for my exclusive budget day. sit down with the former home secretary, priti patel. one of the conservative party's sharp political minds and most popular names has made this rare intervention into day to day politics from her westminster office this . after high tax , office this. after high tax, jeremy hunt ignored her pleas axe the historic and in my opinion very stupid hike in corporation tax. priti patel great to be here. you are a low tax tory in your bones . you tax tory in your bones. you campaigned against the rise in corporation tax. so how do you feel about jeremy hunt's budget today. so thank you for coming over to westminster and obviously it's budget day there

is a lot going on there'll be many announcements around the budget but you're absolutely right, you know as a thatcherite a low tax conservative i always speak about, you know, the price of hard pressed. there are some really important things actually that have been announced around tax ation in particular taxes, because i have campaigning to actually stop the corporate and tax increases . and importantly tax increases. and importantly alongside that there's another corporation tax measure which is minimum right? a corporation tax which is really problematic because actually that impacts upon our tax sovereignty and the ability of our government to determine as a corporation which is the whole point that we voted to leave the european union to take back control brexit. today's announcement obviously have big implications , but you have big implications, but you are also aware that the chancellor's announced a package

£9 billion of support for businesses , which was positive. businesses, which was positive. so it is positive . and i've so it is positive. and i've spoken in the debate today as well, but i think there are some import things that we should actually point to, some questions that still to be asked about this. number on to lower taxes need simpler taxes we don't to bring in more burdens bureaucracy regulations so that you put taxes up over here and then say we'll do a bit of an umbrella by bringing in various measures to soften is because all that means is that quite frankly all the businesses different if you're a large corporate corporation if you're smee in witham or essex or anywhere around the country you don't have the time or the resources to employ more tax specialists, more lawyers . so specialists, more lawyers. so actually, look, all of that , you actually, look, all of that, you need cash, you need money, basically to get on, invest, grow your business, etc. so i'm concerned about that i have said that today as well . and you that today as well. and you spoke with jeremy hunt . so spoke with jeremy hunt. so i have absolute you. i actually saw jeremy hunt . i also spoke in

saw jeremy hunt. i also spoke in the debate today . the chancellor the debate today. the chancellor was is he listening you? i'm going to give jeremy lot of credit. actually, jeremy's been very good to work with in the run up to the budget . he does run up to the budget. he does listen and he engage and he knows effect the case up. you make him not just on the increase of corporation tax , but increase of corporation tax, but also the implications of the oecd rate , the minimum rate of oecd rate, the minimum rate of corporation tax because as we know, our friends around the world are basically press the pause button on it. so the challenge back and i've said it again today, jeremy, is that we cannot keep on trying to be the first mover on this. there's no benefit for us by means, carry on doing the work if you have to. we should not be rushing into this at all. i mean, i just don't think we should be doing this . a very clear about that. this. a very clear about that. we should be an government when it comes taxation. we should it comes to taxation. we should be sovereign in control of our own . ironically, in the own taxes. ironically, in the same way in which both the chancellor and the prime minister referring to tax

minister are referring to tax decisions in northern ireland. post the windsor agreement . so, post the windsor agreement. so, you know, we have more work to do on this . i believe that, you do on this. i believe that, you know, the conservative is nothing. if we do stand up for low taxes . there's an election low taxes. there's an election coming up and that is one of my concerns. how do differentiate yourself from labour when there are a lot of big state policy school and high tech ? if we can? school and high tech? if we can? for a start, we can't. we're not like labour in so many ways. we're just not like labour. but i was to say that, you know, the key thing about being, you know, conservatives is sound money and. that also means, i'm afraid to some of the hard things know state spending size of the state debt to gdp ratio so easily. and thatis debt to gdp ratio so easily. and that is where we have to focus. and you can only do that by growing the creating more jobs support for businesses, lower taxes. and i think we are that stage right now where we've got to get that rebalancing right .

to get that rebalancing right. so jeremy's on the right pathway . corporation tax is a big issue andifs . corporation tax is a big issue and it's here to stay and it's not going to go away . and he's not going to go away. and he's heard me says, well, i'm going to the to continue making the representations, got representations, but we've got to round because as we to flip this round because as we know, debts up here, that's government foreign, everything else, government spending a fraction . how much government is fraction. how much government is spending tax , businesses, spending the tax, businesses, etc. businesses being coppers and we're not growing the boats . it wasn't all today by any means . some real positives. one means. some real positives. one that you have been campaigning hard on relates to fuel duty. and it was again, which was a relief to me because it does feel like around the there is an increasing war on the motorists. so i agree. always have done on and you know you got to remember in the day i was exchequer secretary a long time ago i've had the privilege of working in the treasury. these things are difficult, square on balance. but of the day, the but at the end of the day, the good things have come out of this are in relation this budget are in relation

people that hard pressed people and that is hard pressed motorists. have to stand up motorists. we have to stand up for them. there's no doubt about that. they're the that. need them. they're the backbone economy . employ backbone to our economy. employ people. jobs . and people. they create jobs. and again, know why man want of again, you know why man want of again, you know why man want of a better term people that get up at the crack of dawn get in their motors and actually drive into london to work and khan wants to make their life miserable . and that's you asked miserable. and that's you asked about the differentiation labour ulez know rotten london ulez you know rotten london labour borough's policies like ulez effectively discriminatory against hard pressed motorists , against hard pressed motorists, people that go to work every day, get in their vans , you day, get in their vans, you know, provide goods and services to london, see buildings of buildings like this to restaurants, to hotels , the restaurants, to hotels, the carpenters , plumbers, etcetera. carpenters, plumbers, etcetera. we have to the voice and we have to be their champion. so that was a positive. and i also thought the pension reform was a step in the right direction. do you agree? totally. and that's why i say, you know, people share savers given us the freedom to get on and live our

lives you know unshackling us from those regulations also positive of the childcare reforms which seems to have really taken wind down to slippery stamp. yes yeah yeah . slippery stamp. yes yeah yeah. so i think this is it's very back the day i set up the policy around tax free childcare which was complex and difficult it's moved on and obviously it's going really well. this is about broadening now through the age range of children and parents and households that can qualify for childcare costs. a fortune in some parts of the country, it's equivalent to a mortgage. so you've given home to pass. mark so think jeremy has done a really job actually off the back of number one and over your remember this last november that red light you know doom and gloom encyclopaedia so pessimistic and i say this having a treasury minister i've experienced few fiscal events

while also the balance, right so we can support business and individuals know that we need to talk about migration over figures released today show . figures released today show. 250,000 net migrate looks like it's going to become a regular thing . now of course, that issue thing. now of course, that issue is being very much conflated with the scourge of the people smugglers and the illegal immigration, which obviously we can't deal with as a country . so can't deal with as a country. so i am concerned about this 250,000 figure. or do you think we're getting the right people in. so it's twofold. number we must never conflate , you know, must never conflate, you know, legitimate migration , legal legitimate migration, legal migration with illegal illegal migration with illegal illegal migration is literally the broken system , the people broken system, the people smugglers, all the that the government is working on now in the work that i was doing as well. and i'll come on to that in a minute. legal migration was the points based immigration system. the reforms that we

brought in 2019 general election when we'd have an when we said we'd have an australian points based immigration have immigration system, we have a british based immigration british points based immigration and people have and i think people have forgotten about because we getting people . so the getting the right people. so the purpose that system is that purpose of that system is that you have to be sponsored by an employer. always said you employer. we've always said you know, you have to be sponsored. it's about your it's not it's about your skills. it's not where came from. it's not about the colour of your passport. remember eu citizens were remember how eu citizens were favoured compared to the rest of the world? how skilled individuals with the type of skills we do not have in this country . and by the way, don, country. and by the way, don, they pay the country. and by the way, don, surcharge is in the thousands of pounds. surcharge is in the thousands of pounds . they pay thousands of pounds. they pay thousands of pounds. they pay thousands of pounds for their visas . they pounds for their visas. they tend very significant net tend to be very significant net contributors to . our economy contributors to. our economy because they pay taxes and many of them the skills sector are high rate taxpayers. so we should be thinking about the contribute , shouldn't they may? contribute, shouldn't they may? obviously, as you out, the big problem is illegal migration and you must know the concerns of

constituents hotels overflowing it's costing us so much money. communities have been torn apart. obviously, you created the reward the scheme which has thus far been scuppered. do you think the government on the right track in stopping the boats so importantly on the economic migration partnership rwanda. that is the first ever in the world. it will be world class , been established for very class, been established for very good reasons , primarily because good reasons, primarily because i wanted to raise bar around this entire debate narrative around resettlement and refugees. know there is a view in the world and actually stems from europe as well that is a fixed way of how we address illegal migration of refugees and i think got it wrong. the europe european union got it completely wrong and. rwanda, they are fantastic partner in they are fantastic partner in the way in which they believe in investing in the individuals that are at risk . investing in the individuals that are at risk. in rwanda, we

invest in their skills, that is the money we've given the government of rwanda in terms of housing skills and development so that they can we certainly build their lives there. that is a good thing. we've set the a good thing. and we've set the bar , i think, high bar, i think, pretty high internationally . well, it's internationally. well, it's a humane policy it's as far down. it's far , very far. but it's it's far, very far. but it's fair . and make sure you're here fair. and make sure you're here tomorrow . more of my exclusive tomorrow. more of my exclusive sit down. the former home secretary, priti patel, sit down. the former home secretary, priti patel , where secretary, priti patel, where she'll give her bombshell take on the boris, which hunt. a lack of transfer agency, the lack of accountability . i think there is accountability. i think there is accountability. i think there is a culture of collusion , quite a culture of collusion, quite frankly . beckhams bid to return frankly. beckhams bid to return to britain . when you were home to britain. when you were home secretary , you were absolutely secretary, you were absolutely clear that this woman must not re—enter the uk. do you stand by that? absolutely right. absolutely right. i and her verdict on a search on bbc presenter .

verdict on a search on bbc presenter. i've verdict on a search on bbc presenter . i've experienced such presenter. i've experienced such comments from him as well. when i was home secretary she's talking about gary lineker. i think you really want to miss the rest of that blog. plus the interview here tomorrow night. but coming up in, i'm cancelled. broadcaster nana quare is here to ask if lineker's run ins with jonathan douglas and warren have further damaged the crumbling reputation of the british bashing corporation. but next in the media buzz as budget day strikes are met with public indifference. tonight superstar panel will debate whether the overlooked action has failed . overlooked action has failed. that's straight after the .

there's help for households. are you over state pension age? if your weekly income is below £182.60, or £278.70 if you live with a partner, you could be eligible for pension credit, even if you own your home or have savings. it's worth, on average, £3,500 a year and you could get help with heating bills and more, plus up to £900 in cost of living payments. break let's attend to some rs. newsnight now in media abouts more front pages have been delivered and. the guardian leads with chancellor jeremy

hunt the budget handing pension giveaways the wealthiest 1% to help stem the tide of people leaving the workforce the independent also leads with today's budget which levies will be slashed, scrapped and extended . the express says hunt extended. the express says hunt promised a brighter future for britain as he sees off recession, declaring that the stronger than expected economy is proving the doubters wrong. the eye newspaper reports on the stealthy pence rise in income tax with britain's tax burden rising to a new record highs world war ii. and i have to say , for one of the only times in recent weeks, the eye has got the story from the budget . more the story from the budget. more on the events with tonight's superstar panel. former daily current columnist there dawn neesom the political commentator dominique samuels and the political editor of the sun and sunday people, nigel nelson . now sunday people, nigel nelson. now mass walkouts across the uk today have seen staggering half

a million public sector workers down tools as most widespread strike action in over a decade. so teachers, transport workers , so teachers, transport workers, doctors, even civil servants . doctors, even civil servants. the picket lines they describe wasteful union barons who have spent months already holding the british public to ransom , made british public to ransom, made the decision to run the strike action in an arrogant attempt , i action in an arrogant attempt, i believe, to overshadow hunt's first full budget. but this misguided effort to belittle the budget actually failed, with misguided effort to belittle the budwalkouts ctually failed, with misguided effort to belittle the budwalkouts shrugged led, with misguided effort to belittle the budwalkouts shrugged off. with misguided effort to belittle the budwalkouts shrugged off by th the walkouts shrugged off by politicians and the public alike. i firmly believe persons now suffering from strike fatigue due to the constant waves industrial action that are plaguing the country, which is bad news for those pesky union bosses. bad news for those pesky union bosses . i bad news for those pesky union bosses. i think, bad news for those pesky union bosses . i think, dawn, these bosses. i think, dawn, these have failed actually , the unions have failed actually, the unions were hoping to create a winter of discontent. but the thing because everyone just loves to work from home on the whole the country hasn't been impacted in

the same way that we may have beenin the same way that we may have been in the seventies and age. and you know what? a lot of people weren't even aware of it. it was like, you know, we had the winter of discontent back when. i was kid in the when. i was a kid in the seventies and now this is a spnng seventies and now this is a spring of. right. they're spring of. oh, right. they're strike again. this is like the most and that's that's exactly what and as the civil what it and as the civil servants mean would servants on strike i mean would anyone she noticed they're all working i and the working from home i know and the blob doesn't cutting down let's be i think look i'll be be fair so i think look i'll be careful they're going careful because they're going to be themselves jobs be striking themselves at jobs as know if you can do as well. you know if you can do without and on on without tubes and getting on on the and british or the underground and british or whatever it's called these days , you can enjoy it. you can make alternative arrangements actually is continued sense actually is continued that sense of lockdown hasn't it dominique which really to want to some folk really to want to embrace . yeah i mean people have embrace. yeah i mean people have just gotten used to the disruption now gotten used to things not working they've gotten used to people to work for the public sector not working . and i think most working. and i think most people, although they may

sympathise with , you know what sympathise with, you know what the teachers and others are saying and the sort of ambivalent it because really the preoccupy with their own problems they're preoccupied themselves with inflation with know wondering how they're going get the next meal on the table . get the next meal on the table. so unfortunately it has become quite fractured which i think is a shame . you know, a lot of a shame. you know, a lot of people their first instance is to bus the strikers and attack the union bosses, which indeed they may have their own political . but i they may have their own political. but i think one thing you cannot ignore is that there is an issue in this country with how our public services are run and funding model for our public sector . the problem is, nigel, sector. the problem is, nigel, they have been so unreasonable. you know , 5% pay demands that you know, 5% pay demands that well that was a junior doctors . well that was a junior doctors. yeah, yeah exactly. but but i've been off this week and actually i think we realised that the strike is selfish and so we're

not giving in to them . that not giving in to them. that actually makes strikes futile. well actually the brits working, that's the whole point that i don't think. well rmt for instance, although they are striking tomorrow against the train operators, they do to have a deal with network. right. all it looks like it's for the default in the 5% is being balloted on at the moment and they've called off action against network rail the government come to the table to speak to the and the ambulance workers now they are coming to the table and as a result of that royal college of nursing unison and the other health union unite they've suspended strike action so it's actually working in the sense. they're getting a negotiation going which is the whole purpose of the exercise they started, which i think works their favour a bit because now isn't as much leverage in of public opinion because we are just used to them now. so the is actually forced to and actually fund middle ground which hopefully you know

is happens i know it appears not even pre—school children are settling down for cartoons a safe from hollywood's obsession with gender i couldn't believe the netflix series ridley jones which is targeted kids as young as three has been slammed by for as three has been slammed by for a new episode that features a non—binary bull who wants his grandma voiced by cyndi lauper to start using they they pronouns wait any longer. if i'm going to lead the herd, i to do it as myself . after all, you it as myself. after all, you always say to lead with your heart right ? always say to lead with your heart right? well my heart always say to lead with your heart right ? well my heart says heart right? well my heart says that the way i feel most myself is to go by the name fred . is to go by the name fred. that's because i'm non—binary . that's because i'm non—binary. and fred is the name that me best. and i also use they and them because calling me a she or a he doesn't feel right to me . a he doesn't feel right to me. i'm sorry i used the wrong name

and thank you for showing me your heart . and thank you for showing me your heart. i'll pull. i genuinely thought that was a spoof when i first saw it. the ridley jones , chris nee now ridley jones, chris nee now moaned on twitter that future and christmas specials have actually been cancelled by netflix . she tweeted, doesn't netflix. she tweeted, doesn't surprise that netflix has quietly dumped the first pre—school show that has a non—binary character out. go watch it . show your kids. it's watch it. show your kids. it's important it's a roadmap for coming out. but also having someone tell you changed someone else tell you changed their pronouns and name. oh come on. good on netflix to getting rid of this guy white guy. but i don't know why they produced the thing in the first place. nice one, allison. dominique samuels. dawn neesom do stand by because coming up fiona bruce's may be about to get even as she faces off against jk rowling in tonight's greatest britain and union jack has. but next in on cancel broadcast internet queer is here to slam bbc bad boy gary

lineker and ask if his latest spats with mps and sports promoters are damaging. the bbc's already shaky . that's bbc's already shaky. that's right after short .

break it's break wsfime break it's time now for cancelled . and it's time now for cancelled. and this is where britain's top commentators speak out on controversial issues without the fear of the cancel culture sweeping the rest of the media, gary lineker waded into yet another highly twitter rule today, proving he's just taunting his bosses at the british passion corporation. now this time it was after tory mp jonathan douglas rightly slammed the match of the day presenter's jibe . so you upset people are jibe. so you upset people are talking about the twitterati. whoa. karate of , north whoa. karate of, north islington. those who are the champagne socialist who pontificate day long. the

pontificate all day long. the leftie lawyers keir starmer's best mates. mr. flip—flop because can't take a position because he can't take a position on anything day and age. on anything in this day and age. those are the people i don't care upsetting about because those people who to those are the people who want to call up here racist call people up here racist bigots, like gary lineker has done take done because they to take back control laws their control their laws and their borders. gobby gary took to twitter to express his rage calling gutless comments outrageous and provocative . i'll outrageous and provocative. i'll outrageous and provocative. i'll outrage that and provocative twitter comments. wow. who them? gary. meanwhile, boxing promoter frank warren delivered this knockout blow , which i have knockout blow, which i have heard such a disgusting as to the british government and. hayes he's like his analogy that similar to germany in the 1930. i don't know if you us as a nafion i don't know if you us as a nation with them, it's just disgraceful , nation with them, it's just disgraceful, demeaning and the bbc are just a bunch of who just rolled over allow that to happen andifs rolled over allow that to happen

and it's disgust to hate and talk to his views. but they're ill informed views. it's an ill informed comparison. get your facts right. we're germany, we're britain . and in britain we we're britain. and in britain we are good people. and in britain , whether you like it or not, the illegal refugees here are being looked after. they're not being looked after. they're not being gassed , not being worked being gassed, not being worked to death . i came . yes, one of to death. i came. yes, one of the great a letter entered there from frank warren. let me break it down to require now nine. i look his column for you before but do you feel he's now threatening the very existence of the bbc with every day that he remains post because he's making it clear he ain't following the rules . no, he's following the rules. no, he's not is i mean, look, he went on his champagne soap box in qatar where you decided to preach to us about the terrible human abuses in cattle. but he still

and he used the bbc as his soap box which he shouldn't have done because it works for the bbc and it's political. it talks about language, but yet the language he's using, i mean, how dare he compare the 30 piece to what's happening , he needs to go over happening, he needs to go over some of those places in kent where the invasion is happening because those people who live on those every day almost thousand people are coming to coming from the safety of france to this country . and the people there country. and the people there are suffering . and gary lineker are suffering. and gary lineker has not got a clue. he's serious. he doesn't. and the fact that the bbc that week, week ten. davie, i'm sorry , ten, week ten. davie, i'm sorry, ten, but is absolutely embarrassing the climb down the heap he did it was just it has it has made an embarrassment of the globally because now tim davis lost control. how dare he pay those people these ridiculous salaries almost half a million to alan shearer alex woman almost hundred grand collectively . hundred grand collectively. those presenters probably be

able to fund over 100 local radio, bbc who are currently fighting for their jobs now. and if i want bbc, i want a bbc that actually does the things that are in the community so bbc local radio i'm for my licence fee to go to that but i'm not happy from a licence fee to go the likes of gary lineker. well he pontificates on high telling me what a terrible person i am. i to have our borders i want to have our borders protected and actually stop protected and actually to stop an illegal trade which brings misery to those who are partaking in. absolutely. and lineker talks about the gangs. does he ever ? he only talks does he ever? he only talks about the tories now. nada. i mean, thank god we saved you from the bbc here at gb news, because believe it or not, people will be very surprised to know that you used to work for the british fashion corporation. and i wanted to talk to you about this because i have been absolutely by intellectual absolutely by the intellectual dishonesty tried to dishonesty folk who've tried to turn an issue of turn this into an issue of freedom speech. surely nana, freedom of speech. surely nana, when worked at bbc you when you worked at the bbc you must have accepted you would be

paid for by licence fee payers money you had signed up to the impartiality rules and as a result you made a choice to give up your freedom of speech in order to take the bbc coin . order to take the bbc coin. exactly. that is deal whether you are news or other elements of the bbc know that the thing that are dealing with here is a state you are not have your opinions and you are to . not try opinions and you are to. not try and sway the public to. go along with your way of thinking you are not to take sides with the government and if you do present anything, it must be in a balanced that's balanced fashion. and that's something very something that i held very dearly when. i worked there. i'm very thankful for the training that at bbc, but that i had at the bbc, but i left because partly because some of things i was saying that of the things i was saying that didn't things of didn't like, i lost things of things was saying they said, things i was saying they said, we like you're saying we don't like what you're saying with away from with they take that away from you. we're going to do this because said that i've seen other who have dared because said that i've seen oticomment who have dared because said that i've seen oticomment on who have dared because said that i've seen

oticomment on gary'siave dared because said that i've seen oticomment on gary's tweets red because said that i've seen oticomment on gary's tweets and to comment on gary's tweets and been to take tweet, been told to take their tweet, not it's only not him. and it's just only left. so have my opinion . left. so could have my opinion. i could be at a place where i could speak. so if he wants to do that, then he can do that. but he needs to lead. this is not freedom of speech. not about freedom of speech. he's he's to but he's he's free to speak. but he's he's free to speak. but he's highest paid member of he's the highest paid member of the is clearly a member of the bbc is clearly a member of the bbc is clearly a member of the he represents them. and the bbc he represents them. and as he follow. she should as such, he follow. she should toe line . and we now know toe the line. and we now know that majority of presenters that vast majority of presenters agree with him and are actually prepared to go on strike because they so believe in what he has to say. it's interesting, a bbc executive now now has said that the difference with the lord alan sugar situation is that lord sugar is only on the bbc for a certain number of weeks per year presenting the apprentice and when he's not on air, he's not overtly political on twitter. but again, whether that argument holds, i'm not so i don't think that holds. he is not synonymous . the bbc lord not synonymous. the bbc lord sugar was selected for a specific role within the corporation , a set job, and that

corporation, a set job, and that job was specific to have to have an apprentice and that premises totally to the premise that gary lineker has signed up to because the bbc guidelines, gary lineker is a face of the bbc. he is highest paid presenter. there is no out of that. and even tim davie , the last time gary came davie, the last time gary came out with his comment about russian oligarchs , tim davie russian oligarchs, tim davie said that he had crossed the line and breached bbc guidelines . if that is a breach. so is this and he should be punished. in fact, i would like to see all the match of the day all those presenters. i'd like to see them removed. i they're all in removed. i think they're all in there. didn't tell you? didn't there. didn't tell you? i didn't . did work without sacking. and you what lineker needs to you know what lineker needs to do? and that are do? he needs do and that are clear. needs to leave the clear. and he needs to leave the bbc he can claim voice bbc so that he can claim voice back. then we're paying him and he can say what the heck he wants on little twitter echo wants on his little twitter echo chamber retweeted loser chamber being retweeted by loser alastair . that turquia. alastair campbell. that turquia. thank you so much . we'll speak thank you so much. we'll speak very soon, but it's time now to reveal tonight's person reveal tonight's greatest person and jackass . my
