9:34 am
rating. the inspection report found the school to be good in every category apart from leadership and management where it was judged to be inadequate . it was judged to be inadequate. the transport secretary's calling on the rmt union to give its members a vote on the latest pay its members a vote on the latest pay offer from rail operators. so next week's strikes could be called off. it's after members of the union who work for network rail accepted similar pay network rail accepted similar pay rise of between 9.2 and 14.4% in just two. election is planned by the rmt for next thursday and saturday. but mark harper is urging them to call it off . tv online harper is urging them to call it off. tv online dab+ and on tune in. this is gb news now is back to . bev and andrew . to. bev and andrew. well, it's about as as it could possibly be. that's the report
9:35 am
into the metropolitan police all those years after the macpherson sun report said it was institutionally racist , it's now institutionally racist, it's now still institution racist . add to still institution racist. add to that institutional , misogynistic that institutional, misogynistic and homophobic . so baroness and homophobic. so baroness louise casey , independent review louise casey, independent review has also called the force rotten , adding that she couldn't guarantee there aren't more officers like wayne cousins and david carrick amongst the ranks . says commissioner smart. rowley says progress is being made to form the met. you would say that, wouldn't they? let's have a listen to what he had to say. setting her language in terms of the bullets and the diagnosis of we've got diagnosis of what we've got wrong and just simply not wrapping in level we wrapping it up in same level we are to be anti—racist are going to be anti—racist until the scottish the homophobic. i've stepped up massive here capability in the armed men and women in the organisation reporting more incidents. we are sacking officers a faster rate because officers a faster rate because of their because of their help . of their because of their help. so we are making the progress that you expect it to take some time but we slowly reducing time but we are slowly reducing the risk that we have fixed in the risk that we have fixed in
9:36 am
the organisation. don't the organisation. if don't have the organisation. if don't have the integrity public would the integrity the public would expect. well, that was deeply underwhelming. metropolitan commissioner martin. but we commissioner sir martin. but we can now to i'm challenging can now to and i'm challenging former detectives the former detectives at the metropolitan police. good morning to you. can i just read you a couple of things from directly the report? a directly from the report? a female officer reported female officer who reported being a colleague who being raped by a colleague who was to work alongside him was forced to work alongside him , staff urinated in , junior staff being urinated in the showers. gay officers crossing the street to avoid colleagues . a muslim officer colleagues. a muslim officer having pushed into his boots . a having pushed into his boots. a sikh member of staff whose boss thought it would be funny to chop off beard. and so it goes on. it's devastating, isn't it ? on. it's devastating, isn't it? it's heartbreakingly devastating . i read the report late last night. i didn't sleep very well. cried when i read something . cried when i read something. case studies. i'm looking at and listening to what you're saying. absolutely. actually belief. and it made my journey within policing seem somewhat in terms of some of these officers are
9:37 am
having to endure in today's society where policing should have got so much better post the fearsome recommendation that were made after the murder student loans the police has gone back to steps and it has not moved forward. i'm really saddened by that. swaggering male , macho culture. isn't that male, macho culture. isn't that the problem here? it's a male macho culture. it's poor leadership is sex failings across the organisation. it's the inability to criticised. it's defend the indefensible . it's defend the indefensible. it's defend the indefensible. it's embedding a coach here to support your officers to defend them at any cost and that is absolute really why the metropolitan police is in the mess that it is currently facing right now we're talking about all of these incidents, sharpness there are multiple as
9:38 am
andries just out. but these only happen because individuals allow them to happen. individuals are also perpetrating but they're also perpetrating but they're also somebody at some point within the police is not stopping these issues in that in their tracks in those individual police forces and departments. why is that? well, there's a few things i would say. for starters, when you're a whistle blower, you try to speak out. you very, very quickly find yourself isolated. you find yourself isolated. you find yourself being victimised. you find yourself being by officers. you find wrecks being closed around . there's an inability by around. there's an inability by leaders within the organisation managers to fail to actually deal with these issues because are too scared or they won't . are too scared or they won't. career progression. i speak experience. i'm a whistleblower from 1999. yes, i reached the rank of superintendent . people rank of superintendent. people will say, well, she's done so well . yes, i did do great. but well. yes, i did do great. but my well. yes, i did do great. but my career and my journey was as
9:39 am
a result of that . so a result of that. so i understand how officers feel that are now trying speak up. and i would also add there were good officers out there that try to support those that do out, but they also find themselves in a position where they've been targeted by managers . i'm targeted by managers. i'm appalled by what i'm reading. i'm also utterly disappointed in sir mark rowley this morning saying he doesn't want to acknowledge the label institutional . acknowledge the label institutional. bonus acknowledge the label institutional . bonus cases the institutional. bonus cases the time to do to uncover every stone within policing to label the metropolitan police institutionally racist sexist , institutionally racist sexist, misogynistic and homophobic . and misogynistic and homophobic. and yet so mark rowley says don't want to use that neither . let's want to use that neither. let's not forget the former commissioner cressida dick also said i don't recognise that label. that's a good start for policing because actually what he needs to do is to what the reports say and the report telling him that except it draw
9:40 am
a line under it and start continuing to do what is in fairness, that he has already started to do. but i think in denial already is not a good start . the report also talks start. the report also talks about eye—watering force on suspects and the thing that probably made my jaw drop again . quite often, fridges would break down in which very important evidence had been contained, which meant the evidence was contaminated and no longer fit for purpose . it longer fit for purpose. it sounds like something out of the keystone cops . well you know, keystone cops. well you know, i'm not overly shocked by some of the stuff that i'm hearing in terms of how they investigate should take place. i mean, for example, they talk about rape victims that come forward and you've got female officers who have been undermined , their male have been undermined, their male colleagues within that same area of policing , trying to discredit of policing, trying to discredit victims by fishing for evidence to actually discredit them. and then you've got a man of so who gives a decent example of how this whole rape and then go through a whole scenario a
9:41 am
female officer as if was the perpetrator and she was the victim . it's absolutely victim. it's absolutely disgusting behaviour a serving officers. i keep hearing people saying, you know, the boss majority of policing is good and there are some officers out there are some officers out there that was isn't about a fantastic. this is about a poor policing the rotten bad apples within policing. but we've now got to be rooted out. we've been before we've been for here 30 years. we've been for here all the decades i was policing. i was subjected similar type of behaviours , denied opportunities behaviours, denied opportunities , undermined in certain areas constantly told i need development every time i applied for promotion , i had more for promotion, i had more developed and then a conduct camera. i totally get with some of these officers are coming for that hasn't changed and the culture within the policing within the metropolitan police is going to be the hardest thing for policing actually change. for policing to actually change. how will those good police officers feel this morning ? 7
9:42 am
officers feel this morning? 7 am. going into work knowing that the media, family, friends are all talking this report i've had text over the last few days. i've had text messages this morning. female officers , male morning. female officers, male officers i've worked with in the past years who were really, really upset who feel ashamed to police officers who said that i'm so proud to have been coming into policing. but right now i feel that perhaps i should be leaving . but the bottom line is leaving. but the bottom line is , any any officer that is worth their salt will fit there and actually reflect on this and not be sitting there trying to defend in the way that many officers will still do try to do so. austerity had a big impact on this, but you cannot blame behaviours on austerity. policing is allowed bad rotten apples into policing because of the fact that they lacked their vetting processes poor and as a result of that you've got shed loads of police officers coming
9:43 am
in and you've got those embedded into the culture , the character into the culture, the character and the customs of the world. these are officers that are just to policing that 80 to 20 years. so being a rule in the roost and you've got to now start finding a dig deep as managers to now start calling this out because it's going to reflect further on you. okay. thank you. shabnam chowdhry, that former superintendent at the met's . superintendent at the met's. well, the political development today, the dup's that's in northern ireland, it's not going to support a key part of brexit sunak's windsor framework deal, which was supposed to have finally sorted out brexit. when which was supposed to have fiheard sorted out brexit. when which was supposed to have fiheard this d out brexit. when which was supposed to have fiheard this latet brexit. when which was supposed to have fiheard this late lastexit. when which was supposed to have fiheard this late last nightihen which was supposed to have fiheard this late last night ,ien i heard this late last night, my, sunk mp is going to my, my heart sunk mp is going to be given a chance to vote on the so called stoma to break on wednesday . but so called stoma to break on wednesday. but dup leader sir jeffrey donaldson , the party had jeffrey donaldson, the party had unanimously agreed vote against it . well, joining us in the it. well, joining us in the studio has been a bishop who was of course a brexit party mep and he was at great press conference yesterday reform uk. sarah yesterday with reform uk. sarah walmsley yesterday. yeah, and
9:44 am
you were there along with ann widdecombe and nine former widdecombe and nine other former as joined reform to as you've joined reform uk to try get proper brexit. try and get a proper brexit. i wrote about this storm, a break in the daily mail. wrote about this storm, a break in the daily mail . this is what in the daily mail. this is what rishi sunak negotiated so that if there's something that the british government they don't british government or they don't like northern that like in northern ireland that the proposing, they can the eu is proposing, they can literally a break. but it literally apply a break. but it isn't what it seems, is isn't quite what it seems, is it? the can only it? because the eu it can only be an exceptional circumstance which the eu says so. and by which is the eu says so. and by the way, if it does get applied , work. as for , you can then work. as for compensation that's the key compensation and that's the key point . can the brake. point. you can pull the brake. yeah great difficulty. yes. stormont you've got to have 30 mlas install them. want to pull the brake. then you rely on his majesty's government to do the right thing. and assuming they do which is rare, the eu has do it, which is rare, the eu has the ability to impose sanctions on northern ireland. what kind of break is that? you exercise . of break is that? you exercise. is it using your democratic rights and the eu undermines you by imposing sanctions on you? that's no break at all. and the
9:45 am
only reason they're having to vote on it in parliament tomorrow is because it's actually not a variation to the northern ireland protocol. it's a variation to the belfast agreement that they wish to make . and it's the thing again with the peace process, the peace settlement that they so wrapped themselves up in when they try and justify the protocol. but of course, as we know , their course, as we know, their protocol and the windsor framework drives the coach and horses through the belfast agreement , so they need to vary agreement, so they need to vary it to get what they want . i it to get what they want. i mean, the whole thing, by the way, is quite it's quite interesting, andrew, that tomorrow boris johnson is up in force privileges committee for misleading parliament. well, the way this windsor framework has been been described to parliament, it is a fundamental deception . yes, you just you deception. yes, you just you just beat me to it. and that was what i was going to say, because it was greeted as a triumph, as a new deal to us. something fresh and shiny and new. and rishi sunak had solved the problem. absolutely. and it
9:46 am
isn't. and by definition it isn't. and by definition it isn't. and by definition it isn't. and i can i can say that with 100% certainty, because this this new agreement, which this this new agreement, which this new version of the protocol, i should say, emerges from the joint committee formed by withdrawal agreement, the joint is a committee of british representatives and eu represented lives and they have no right or ability to change the withdrawal agreement of which the protocol is part. so this is just bells and whistles trying to as ever, put masking tape of a really fundamental root and branch is sort of problem that they need to sort out people watching this and listening to this band might think, oh, so, so technical. northern ireland protocol. what's this all about? well really is that really matters here is that northern ireland, which is part of the united kingdom, being treated entirely differently to england, scotland england, wales and scotland because the because it's still under the authority, under this deal of the european union. isn't that the european union. isn't that the point? you're absolutely . the point? you're absolutely. and, you know, when you step away all the technicality
9:47 am
away from all the technicality and, you a of this is and, you know, a lot of this is couched in technical wording because it makes it very difficult for the electorate understand what's happening. but it it's level northern ireland is subject to foreign laws made by a foreign and enforced by foreign court that by any common sensical layman on the clapham omnibus is abuse of their human rights. we've got an american gentleman on our left u.k. rights. we've got an american gentleman on our left uk. and he will testify that the reason we had boston tea party was because it was taxation without representation . and that's what representation. and that's what the protocol is . taxation the protocol is. taxation without representation . we've without representation. we've got to ask you about pot to get you raised it. do you care about party? should boris johnson be subjected to a four hour grilling ? well, i'm a johnson grilling? well, i'm a johnson grilled for 4 hours. why not? but i mean, look, you know, at one level, partygate is consumed too much political. our time . too much political. our time. it's a it's a relatively small issue. but at another level , you issue. but at another level, you know, these were the laws which
9:48 am
brought the country to its knees. these were the laws that depnved knees. these were the laws that deprived us of fundamental civil liberties in forced draconian rules that meant that our loved ones had to die on the road. so these laws that should have been respected by those that made them. do think. no, i think you should be held to account, actually. would rather was actually. i would rather he was being grilled at the moment, ben, little bit on where he's making and moment. making all his money and moment. so i. he's made i think so would i. he's made i think over £5 million within as many months since he left office and a lot of the provenance of that money is not known it comes from michael harvey walker . a lot of michael harvey walker. a lot of it comes from the harvey walker agency in new york. and that's been disclosed in the register and parliamentary interests . but and parliamentary interests. but who are the harvey walker agency ? who do they represent? represent where does that money come from? he's going to make a lot more because, you know, theresa made two and theresa may has made two and a half pounds she half million pounds since she stood down as prime minister. who pay and half
9:49 am
who would pay two and a half million pounds to go since theresa may speak? wouldn't you pay theresa may speak? wouldn't you pay pound to pay two enough million pound to not to three not listen to three more? i mean, a terrific speaker and mean, is a terrific speaker and he's entertaining and amusing. he well she was she was he is not. well she was she was a private. she was prime minister. and that in itself will that will want will mean that people will want to she's got to say. to hear what she's got to say. but i think the speed with which bofis but i think the speed with which boris has cashed in on a national international disaster , which he oversaw, i think there is huge questions to be asked to who's paying him. absolutely. and you know, he's developed an ideological obsession with ukraine, which is perhaps understandable and justifiable. but you just wonder , you know, how much of that is unkedin , you know, how much of that is linked in to the speeches that he's making in the money that's coming across. and there should be light shone on all be a bright light shone on all of that. ask about of that. we must ask about reform. uk bright new party are going fight seat, going to fight every seat, virtually for the virtually every seat for the next election. 634 next general election. 634 blitzer ukip or obliterate the tories or both? well, ukip , ukip tories or both? well, ukip, ukip is , sadly, a shadow of its
9:50 am
is, sadly, a shadow of its myself and but my aim and i'm absolutely unequivocal about it. and richard and nigel are on board for this is to obliterate the tory party there will be no surrender . there will be no surrender. there will be no deals. there will be no standing down in seats. we are going to take the fight to the conservative. they are not conservative. they are not pro—brexit and they're certainly not unionists , as we just not unionists, as we just discussed. but if you kill the tory party, you might letting keir starmer. he was the man who wanted a second referendum. andrew failure andrew you can't reward failure with incumbency down that road lies massive moral hazard. you inculcate bad behaviour and we've had too much of that we've had too much of. oh i know where awful but the lot are even worse. we've got to put paid to that we're going to boot them out. i mean they've got a year and a half to get their act together. truss very nearly came right. very nearly despised right. she very nearly despised and delivered some, you and even delivered some, you know, remotely conservative policies . but this lot, they're
9:51 am
policies. but this lot, they're not conservative. no one should bemoan the fact that the conservative party is going to be thumped in the next election. look, conservative bemoan look, conservative should bemoan the going to the fact that they're going to get the next election, get thumped the next election, but it's always lovely to but it's all always lovely to see that be heard. going off with swinson telling us it's with rex swinson telling us it's time to to him. i think time to talk to him. i think voting greg. we're talking about, of course, the former president donald trump says that he's going to be arrested today . how likely is this, greg ? it's . how likely is this, greg? it's unlikely he'll be arrested , but unlikely he'll be arrested, but it's not unlikely he'll be indicted this week. i can't promise it's going to be today. i some police preparations new york maybe they're getting ready for some protests that he's sort of incited to a certain degree but i if he was arrested would be completely obscene and unnecessary. this whole this whole case is obscene and unnecessary and there's no merit to. it's really been put. i mean, he paid money, which campaign money to sign him so well. he he paid silent, you know, he paid hush money. yeah.
9:52 am
i mean, there's no doubt about that. but they're trying to tie it into campaign finance, irregular authorities. it's a bit of a stretch . even if it bit of a stretch. even if it were true, it would be misdemeanour, not something that was his he used to silence this woman. he was going to kiss and tell, but he he he paid lawyer who paid her right. tell, but he he he paid lawyer who paid her right . and so who paid her right. and so they're trying to argue that that's campaign finance, because it would actually call for an it came him. but i think it came from him. but i think it was. and isn't it about business misdemeanour? as you it's misdemeanour? as you say, it's about a of business fraud. about a kind of business fraud. so his lawyer has paid stormy daniels $130,000. yeah, because it couldn't be seen as grounds from trump. and then trump paid him back, which trump said it was legal face and you know. yeah he was paying off for the same reason that all people pay that hush money and they don't want find out or want their wife to find out or they want public to they don't want the public to find so sunny, with this find out. so sunny, with this woman before he was with the fabulous not fabulous malala, not even not even . know, so . even sure. you know, it's so. yeah, yeah, exactly. and it's irrelevant because even , you
9:53 am
irrelevant because even, you know, falsifying business records is a so this is all a this is all, you know, it's just a circus that they're trying to create . now, why would they do create. now, why would they do that when the case has no merit it would clearly lose on appeal if they found 12 anti trump ers in new york which isn't difficult in manhattan anyway. so yeah they could if they found enough you know, said one of the jurors. but yeah, why would they do it then if the case has no merit and will fail on appeal because they want trump to win the nomination, numbers will go up if they're sort of playing into trump's, you know, victimhood , which he likes, you victimhood, which he likes, you know , are some of his comments know, are some of his comments are responsible. sure. but they're going to look really bad here. alvin bragg is looking really bad, cyrus. he's the district attorney. yeah, that's that's indicting trump here. the case has no merit because cyrus vance, jr , his predecessor, vance, jr, his predecessor, declined to take it on because it was stupid . the federal, you it was stupid. the federal, you know, the justice department, the feds declined to take it on. so you know, the only reason
9:54 am
alvin bragg did is because he ran for office as an anti ran for that office as an anti trumper. he said going to get trumper. he said going to get trump that was his campaign slogan. you know, the whole slogan. so, you know, the whole thing absurd. but thing is quite absurd. but again, why would they do it? because they to elevate trump. trump's went 30 trump's numbers went up 30 points mar lago points after the mar a lago rate. think the democrats rate. and i think the democrats that they don't want to run against ron desantis for obvious reasons if elevate trump reasons so if they elevate trump here and they'll do this several more times during the election cycle, they want him to be the nominee. the nominee that's been beaten before, that is pretty machiavellian beaten before, that is pretty ma it iavellian beaten before, that is pretty maitiavii lian beaten before, that is pretty maitiavii mean , it's based, it? it is. i mean, it's based, you castigate, look slightly parochial and. yeah. doesn't it look like i might get sanctioned with stormy daniels here that we know of with boris anyway. no, no , no. yes and time. but no, no. yes and time. but i mean, it's really. are you a fan of trump's? well, i you know, i he had a very awkward manner of speaking, which i thought was unfortunate for him. but a lot of what he actually if you listen to what he said, a lot of
9:55 am
what he said and what he wanted to do and did was actually good. you know, america didn't start any new wars under his presidency. the economy incredibly . everything was incredibly well. everything was coming back under control. you suddenly get the democrats back in power and, you know, you go to in ukraine. you've got to war in ukraine. you've got the economy down. the the economy going down. the we've banks bankrupt . we've got banks going bankrupt. so you just wonder if there's a connection between political connection between the political philosophy can philosophy and, you know, can i just ask you know. greg sure. do we know for a fact your theory about this is the democrats trying to position trump popularity that's still processing that that seems a stretch it's might be a stretch i'm not the only one who's suggesting it they're the only other reason they could be doing this is to distract the media away from. the fact that bank of america released bank records last to congressional last week to the congressional investigators biden investigators that has biden family cartel receiving payments from cftc . yeah. when are they from cftc. yeah. when are they going to get into that? you're completely ignored by the mainstream media in the us. so you know, that could be part of
9:56 am
it as a bit of a distraction, but it a bit of a conspiracy theory. but, but, but remember theory. but, but, but remember the democrats do really the democrats do this really well. did it in the well. they did it in the midterms in 22 can't they midterms in 22 they can't they gave campaign money and had advertising supporting trump trump candidates in the primaries so they wanted to run against the most trump affiliated candidate . so they affiliated candidate. so they bankrolled candidates in the republican primaries. bankrolled candidates in the republican primaries . and it republican primaries. and it worked. and it actually worked. but i mean, it's dirty, but it's it could have finished biden off . and he did very well in those midterms because of this machiavellian policy. yeah you're right. and so you're absolutely right. and so the democrats, you know, they they to play dirty. they know to how play dirty. it's it's a little it's not illegal. it's a little sleazy. arguably but. yeah, but it could work . and same and same it could work. and same and same with, as i said with merrill lago, you know, trump from plus nine over to senators to plus 39 no after the race cynical about politics that and greg thank that's slightly sleazy staff yeah right . that's slightly sleazy staff yeah right. more that's slightly sleazy staff yeah right . more reaction next yeah right. more reaction next to baroness casey's report that
9:57 am
says that the metropolitan service is institutionally racist, sexist and, homophobic with 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.

10:03 am
so dreadful . change didn't come so dreadful. change didn't come . so now this report has to carry that and has to take responsibility for getting the change needed . shadow policing change needed. shadow policing minister sarah jones says labour is calling for new mandatory national standards. the facts are there for all to see. whatever you call it , there is whatever you call it, there is institutional racism in the police force. we have let down women. we are letting londoners and we are letting down the good police officers are trying to do their job, police officers are trying to do theirjob, but are really stymied by lack of resources . so stymied by lack of resources. so there is a role there for the, of course. but there is also a role for government. we need national standards that are mandatory on vetting and misconduct . the sister of a mandatory on vetting and misconduct. the sister of a head teacher who took her own after an ofsted inspection , her death an ofsted inspection, her death was a direct result of the deeply harmful report and the pressure of the process . ruth pressure of the process. ruth parry was the head at caversham

10:05 am
train operating and cool off next week's strike. so i think that would be fantastic news. the travelling public , if the travelling public, if they're members, if the rmt members get the chance to consider that pay offer as well for those that work on the train, the train companies themselves. new york police have erected barricades around manhattan courthouse as a precaution ahead of the possible indictment of former president donald trump saturday. trump urged his followers social media to protest against what he said was his looming arrest over allegations of hush money payments. trump associates accused of paying more than £100,000 to adult film stormy daniels during, £100,000 to adult film stormy daniels during , the 2006 daniels during, the 2006 presidential campaign. it would be the first ever criminal case against the us president. damage by pot holes has forced almost 2.7 million cars off the road in the past year. new research by the past year. new research by the asphalt industry alliance says one pothole is currently filled on all roads every 22

10:07 am
very good morning. thank you for us. you've been getting in touch with your views this morning. we'll get to them in just a moment because a lot of them are about our main story this morning. baroness louise casey's sky thing review into metropol. it's we're to it's in place. we're going to go to national ellie castello, to our national ellie castello, who's scotland this morning, who's at scotland this morning, early morning . i'm who's at scotland this morning, early morning. i'm i early morning morning. i'm i imagine that i imagine that pretty shell shocked in there they should be because the report is devastating on absolutely every level . yes absolutely every level. yes racist sexist homophobe phobic and broken those are the findings of this this inquiry by baroness casey. she's been working on it for over year. it was commissioned after abduction, the rape and the of sarah everard . and it was while sarah everard. and it was while she was carrying out this report where another serving metropolitan police officer, david carrick , was convicted of david carrick, was convicted of offences . against 12 victims. offences. against 12 victims. this is the kind of culture that she's been working against and
10:08 am
includes this review includes instances where, rape cases were dropped because there were freezers perhaps will have evidence that during the heatwave last year broke down. therefore evidence was lost and. those cases were subsequently dropped by the home secretary suella braverman has been responding to review today. she says it's clear that there's been serious failings in the metropolitan police and police in terms of its culture and its leadership . she says that she's leadership. she says that she's going to be the commissioner to account and she says a lot more needs be done. that's a route out , unfit officers needs be done. that's a route out, unfit officers and needs be done. that's a route out , unfit officers and those out, unfit officers and those unacceptable cases will, unfortunately, continue to come to light. she also says she's, confident that there will be progress made under sir marks leadership smart rolling apologised to londoners . he says apologised to londoners. he says that reading the report report says is ghastly and generates series of emotions, including angen series of emotions, including anger, frustration and, embarrassment. but he doesn't
10:09 am
agree with the language that baroness pc uses, which says that racism, sexism and homophobe here are institutional in the metropolitan police force. he's he doesn't want to use word. he wants to focus on the good officers within the met in stead. but there is criticism this morning, bev and andrew, that if sir mark really is not willing to accept the true extent of the problems within the metropolitan police force, then how is he to enact change that baroness casey says is so desperately later on? the labour party are doing a press conference about this. the shadow home secretary that cooper we've seen sarah jones, the shadow police minister doing the shadow police minister doing the around. can we the broadcast around. can we sure are challenged sure that they are challenged about the mayor of london about the of the mayor of london in of he is the labour in all of this he is the labour mancity.com who will support course the police and crime commissioner london and commissioner for london and ultimately the ultimately responsible for the shambles that's. ultimately responsible for the shambles that's . the met live shambles that's. the met live now maybe we've lost ali but we've got peter blakeslee in the
10:10 am
studio with us, former detective at the met police, of course, friend of the show, friend of the channel. let me bring one of our to you. peter barry has said it isn't the police his job to be nice to people. theirjob is to arrest criminals who would like harm them. well, like to do harm to them. well, said, i couldn't more. said, barry, i couldn't more. but report , which is but this report, which is unflinching , fearless and unflinching, fearless and consequent is brilliant, is the iceberg that the metropolitan police has crashed into this morning . and the met police is morning. and the met police is holed beneath the water and. i'm using these ship analogies because they're very apt because police officers who witness wrongdoing or hear about it and come forward to tell the about it are often as rocking the boat. well, now those officers in their droves. if boat. well, now those officers in their droves . if they are the in their droves. if they are the good officers and we want to hear from them certainly the anti—corruption command should be hearing from them in their droves . they've got to come droves. they've got to come forward . they've got to be forward. they've got to be braver cops than i ever was
10:11 am
because i didn't report the wrongdoing. so consequently, they've to be better human beings than i was. but got to do it. and if they get enough hands on deck, they might just stop this ship from sinking. the trouble is, peter, the great work done by the majority of your former colleagues in the police now completely overlooked people just think this force is not fit for purpose. talk. it could be broken up. what on earth is going on in the elite diplomatic and protection where when operating when cousins was operating with david operating these david kay it was operating these men does it go to their men is it does it go to their head that they're protecting politicians and because that's where the cases where a lot of the abuse cases identified for many many years i've been expressing my concerns, both i was in the police and outside of it about police and outside of it about police officers who exercise their biceps more than their brains . and that is, generally brains. and that is, generally speaking , firearms officers for speaking, firearms officers for yet you'll see them in the summer when their photograph they have their teacher a particular height just so you get a hint of bicep in the
10:12 am
photograph. and clearly with regards to the unit that cousins and carrick were on, which was a specialist unit, that match our culture, and i suppose i expression is not really it doesn't go anywhere near as far as it should do that toxic, revolting, vile culture has festered . here's the balance to festered. here's the balance to get, though , isn't it? the get, though, isn't it? the police in particular lead those those particular departments . those particular departments. the police are going to attract a certain type of character by necessity . they need to be the necessity. they need to be the tough blokes don't need to do some of that job. how do you get it right though is about leadership to make that they aren't going too far. leadership to make that they aren't going too far . they need aren't going too far. they need to be very fit. they to be tough here, not there necessarily . here, not there necessarily. they need to be fit. when i contemplate whether i should become a firearms officer, which i was , i thought long and hard i was, i thought long and hard over weeks about whether i wanted to take somebody's life . wanted to take somebody's life. and when i decided if the bad
10:13 am
guys were going to have guns, then i thought i'd have one. then stepped forward and did the training . but this culture that training. but this culture that has been allowed to fester and develop is clearly something that needs to be dismantled as a matter absolute urgency and of course, the wrongdoing that this report time and time again throughout the service in so many other aspects of police work, which is chronically failing the public, children investigations, investigations into crimes committed against children failing, sexual offences, filing rape investigations, finding the pubuc investigations, finding the public deserve better. do you think there is also the there's a political problem here because you've got the home secretary on the one hand, you've got the mayor of london. on the one hand, we know when sadiq khan got rid cressida dick, the former commissioner, the former police commissioner, the home the time, home secretary at the time, hardly about it . hardly anything about it. they're together they're not operating together for best interests of the for the best interests of the people were by the met. people who were by the met. indeed. and it goes further than
10:14 am
that, because johnson rid that, because boris johnson rid of blair and that of sir ian blair and that politics policing , baroness politics in policing, baroness casey quite properly in our report the fact that the mayor's office for policing and scotland yard have not got the relationship they should have . relationship they should have. so maybe there is now an opportunity for new faces, new personalities to come in there and mediate between the two and show them the polite , show them the polite, respectful, yet perhaps firm way the conversations could be had. because when organisations are in law enforcement fail because they are having there are only band of people that benefit and thatis band of people that benefit and that is the villains subset current police commissioners also rejected this word institutional problems, racism, homophobia . are you okay with homophobia. are you okay with that word institutional? because my only my feel about it is let's individuals off the hook and these are the behaviours of individuals of the same earlier
10:15 am
to a former police officer and i think maybe there's a sense that well it's institutional or is it disempowering what we are just institutionally rotten. well, nearly 25 years ago, of course macpherson's that the met was institutionally racist . and what institutionally racist. and what has it done. very but it's now backwards , i would argue it was backwards, i would argue it was just going on about race and now it's institutionally homophobic and sexist. and there's a very very evidence with very strong evidence with bundles , evidence various bundles, evidence in various cases, report to support all of that. of course the met is in a catalyst trophic state, not all of it some bits of it still work fairly in terms of homicide investigations. for example . but investigations. for example. but of course they're well resourced and they've got experience on their the front line of policing . the officers who are most likely to come into contact with when you dial 999 is, quite frankly appalling with the experience gone, they all fled for the hills when pensions and paycheques butchered and people watching and listening to just be thinking, no wonder my house when i was broke there was no
10:16 am
investigate. my car was nicked. things really important matters to people and you don't get to see or hear from a police officer because the whole force is chaos . you certainly is in chaos. you certainly don't. week, i've had don't. but next week, i've had a letter my door saying letter through my door saying that my local neighbourhood team are meeting. oh, are having a public meeting. oh, i there very early i be getting there very early and ensuring that my seat is in the front row. i'd like to be a fly the wall at that. i think fly on the wall at that. i think just to also think if my just trying to also think if my house had been broken into this week, i care the police week, i care that the police were racist sex, pest, homophobic. of course i don't want anybody in my life to behave in manner, so to discriminate against people. but i'm much less bothered about that than whether they get my stuff. you should be very bothered whether bothered about whether they're sexist , particularly if you're sexist, particularly if you're at home that officer on the at home when that officer on the door comes to investigate door and comes to investigate the crime, you should be very, very about it. just explain that it was because i think it was a bit, because i think i don't think i'll be alone in feeling that that feels like it's important catching it's not important as catching the are the baddies because there are police officers who are being removed only from the
10:17 am
removed not only from the met but from police services but from other police services because opportune because they see the opportune city to engage with a victim of to turn into a, a relationship and not to investigate that crime properly . and that is crime properly. and that is shameful of many officers have been sent packing some to prison in very recent days and weeks because of exactly that. and it could be if it's a black person home state visiting, they're not going to take it seriously because they're racist. or if you're i'll come on outputs who cares about that can you imagine can you imagine 2023. what on earth is going on a part of what's going on? is that certain senior police officers as they climb that greasy pole of ambition , they think that ambition, they think that policing is about self—service and not public service. and i've been saying this for years , i been saying this for years, i just don't understand why there's never been more emphasis in the workplace for police officers to get this stuff right. and yet it's never been so bad . why? well, one word so bad. why? well, one word that's sadly missing from a lot of policing and is regarded as a
10:18 am
bit of a dirty word and also begins with d is discipline . it begins with d is discipline. it is a disciplined organisation and it should be but those cops who want to get to the top are fearful of imposing discipline in case somebody screams , i'm in case somebody screams, i'm being bullied . there is nothing being bullied. there is nothing wrong with polite and firm discipline in. fact it is essential in an organised such as the police . people say thank as the police. people say thank you so much for coming in by the way. we'd like to know what happens at that meeting with your local. now coming up in eritrea migrant who settled in rwanda more than 17 years ago has told gb news likes me he like moving to the central african nation the migrants now owns a chain of supermarkets in kigali with his brother had at one time been planning to come to the uk. our home security editor mark white is in kigali . editor mark white is in kigali. he sent us this report to its rwanda has a deeply flawed political leadership with a lamentable record human rights.
10:19 am
two others, including the government. this is an intrinsically safe and country . intrinsically safe and country. the truth, as always is more complex and, not well—served by simple and whether this coffee on the outskirts of the capital was opened four years ago by a husband and wife from yemen who fled fighting there as refugees and eventually settled in rwanda . they've gone on to create a thriving business. or when we just landed in rwanda in the first few days, we decided like will not leave this country . will not leave this country. we've been in malaysia. malaysia was not like this cane or organised or save when we just arrived here people they are so welcoming they love expat you know we saw this different this is one of africa's most dynamic
10:20 am
economies all more remarkable given the genocide here less than three decades ago which left 800,000 dead and millions displaced . pierre numbers fled displaced. pierre numbers fled rwanda's civil and eventually ended up in canada. she's to be part of the regional, setting up a business that champions local arts and design. the fact so many here were displaced by the has, she says instilled a genuine compassion in many rwandans the plight of refugees . it's definitely welcome because i think for us it's skill sets that are needed and they're things that will help elevate a lot of the work we're doing. i know for us as a fashion brand, we're always looking to collaborate with people from all the world. rwanda's critics , its leaders rwanda's critics, its leaders care little the plight of those displaced in neighbouring congo
10:21 am
, where it's accused of supporting fighters there . supporting fighters there. still, rwanda is currently host to 140,000 refugee . the to 140,000 refugee. the eritreans and owner of this kigali supermarket arrived here 25 years ago after fleeing fighting there. he was later joined by his brother who decided to settle here rather than travel to start in the uk. do think people coming here as refugees sent here from the uk do you think that they have a chance of making a good life for themselves ? or will it be very themselves? or will it be very difficult? don't think they will have any problem because this is a very, very peaceful country, very clean. things are in order. how did the people who have been bad out have lived bad people out and have lived for here such a long, long years end and we wouldn't been end and we wouldn't have been able grow to this level where able to grow to this level where we are today. it would be wrong . suggest rwanda offers the same
10:22 am
level of opportunities and personal freedoms as the uk. but from what i've seen, it's clear there is still plenty of potential for those who end up to here a good life for themselves and certainly enjoy greater freedoms than the circumstances they see they're fleeing, allow . this circumstances they see they're fleeing, allow. this is a circumstances they see they're fleeing, allow . this is a facet fleeing, allow. this is a facet country. it's not all the way there yet and certainly needs to do more to meet western standards and human rights. but the countries reporters see it's rapidly in the right direction . rapidly in the right direction. mark white, gb news in the rwandan capital kigali . so up rwandan capital kigali. so up next, the bank of england's next interest rate decision is on a knife after credit suisse became biggest lender to be hit by the turmoil hitting global banks. this is to point on
10:26 am
it's 25 your wits to the point when gb news with andrew pierce and bev turner. now the bank of england's next interest rate seems to be poised on a knife edge after credit suisse was the latest bank to succumb the banking turmoil. charlie bean is a professor economics at the a professor of economics at the london of economics. sir, london school of economics. sir, charlie, morning to you . when we charlie, morning to you. when we read about credit suisse. oh, well, that's in switzerland , of well, that's in switzerland, of course, apart from the fact they the banking puts a lot of people in london square mile the turmoil on the markets could affect whether the bank of england puts interest up this week or not . not good morning. week or not. not good morning. it certainly throw in another fact into the mix as say the turmoil around credit suisse is primarily in switzerland but it has consequences as elsewhere and just adds to the general
10:27 am
area . uncertainty over the state area. uncertainty over the state of the banking system. so we've obviously seeing the collapse of silicon valley bank in the states . and a couple of other states. and a couple of other small america and banks now credit squeeze and it's natural in those circumstances that financial institutions start becoming a little bit more cautious in their lending . and cautious in their lending. and the way they manage their balance sheets and so forth and the monetary committee , who the monetary committee, who anybody would have been faced a difficult balancing act for the coming decision have another factor to throw into the mix which would push them a little bit more towards . raising rates bit more towards. raising rates more slowly or not at all than they would otherwise have done .
10:28 am
they would otherwise have done. charlie the people watching this who might have worked very hard all their lives put some savings to one side, got a pension part, maybe ready to go. should those people be worried right now about what's to happen to their investments ? no, i don't think investments? no, i don't think people should be worried about the safety of their savings . the safety of their savings. most people holding money in banks and bank accounts will have sums which are less . the have sums which are less. the £85,000, saving . on deposit £85,000, saving. on deposit insurance. so they'd be fully protected , providing that protected, providing that they've got their savings in a regular bank. they've got their savings in a regular bank . you've got regular bank. you've got investments in other instruments investments in other instruments in the stock market or investing in the stock market or investing in funds or something like that . you will have seen losses in
10:29 am
recent times because . the price recent times because. the price of those assets fallen . going of those assets fallen. going forward, of course, there's concern out into the recent uncertainty around the financial markets, around banks, the spread to affect the prices of other companies. but. spread to affect the prices of other companies. but . we have other companies. but. we have who knows what will happen to that going forward and the stock market is something that's very difficult to predict . but the difficult to predict. but the sensible thing, frankly , is not sensible thing, frankly, is not to try and think can guess the market. it's probably better to your funds where they are and stop markets go up. stock markets go down. but just say for people who've got their savings in bank accounts, they shouldn't be worried about the viability of uk banks .
10:30 am
shouldn't be worried about the viability of uk banks. in the budget report last week, sir charlie, you would have read it probably from cover to cover more in more detail. i did. there was a prediction that house prices could fall by 10% in the next 12 months. is this uncertainty with the banking sector and interest rates going to impact the housing market even more? and make prices even more volatile ? well, i should more volatile? well, i should emphasise when it comes to predicting the housing market, it's difficult and as much as anything the anybody's forecast is an assumption rather than a prediction and they recognise the uncertainty around that the assumption that said the turmoil in markets is likely to have some side effect simply because the point i made earlier the banks are likely to become a bit more cautious about their lending decisions as as a result of what's been happening and
10:31 am
that will have come to print for the availability of mortgage finance and what the people had done things like that. that's right . and many people can right. and many people can afford interest rates that high on a mortgage, which we've not been used to in recent times. so, charlie, being a professor of economics , scott, was thank of economics, scott, was thank you. you might say as the counter very good . boom, counter indeed. very good. boom, boom, boom, boom. is this the thing that is quite thing that to me is quite serious. right. still come this morning, a party gave the. do you care, boris? only some cake that's your news with that's all. after your news with . tamsin bear. thank you. good morning. it's 1031. . tamsin bear. thank you. good morning. it's1031. here are the headunes. morning. it's1031. here are the headlines . a scathing report headlines. a scathing report into britain's largest police force has found it to be institutionally racist , institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic . misogynistic and homophobic. baroness louise casey , the baroness louise casey, the review into the metropolitan police she's warning victims have been let down and that officers who their power have
10:32 am
shattered trust in the force. the report found the met's current standards and disciplinary procedures have failed abysmally . baroness casey failed abysmally. baroness casey is calling for a complete overhaul of the force . the overhaul of the force. the moment that sarah everard was raped. abduct, abduct, aged, raped. abduct, abduct, aged, raped and murdered by a serving police officer . i find it police officer. i find it extremely that in policing and in the police that wasn't there moment of like a plane falling out of the sky. i just think it is so dreadful . change didn't is so dreadful. change didn't come . so now this report has to come. so now this report has to carry that and has to take responsibility for getting the change needed . the sister of change needed. the sister of head teacher who took her own life , an ofsted inspection , says life, an ofsted inspection, says her death was a direct result of a deeply harmful report and. the pressure of the process. ruth perry was the head at caversham primary school . redding. she primary school. redding. she killed herself january while
10:33 am
awaiting the review, which gave the school the lowest possible rating . the inspection report rating. the inspection report found the school to be good in every category apart from leadership management where leadership and management where it judged to be inadequate . it was judged to be inadequate. the transport secretary is calling on the rmt union to give its members vote on the latest pay its members vote on the latest pay offer from rail operators. so next week's strikes can be called off. it's after of the union who work for network network rail accepted similar pay network rail accepted similar pay rise of between 9.2 and 14.4. industrial action is planned by the rmt for next thursday and . saturday on tv thursday and. saturday on tv online derby plus radio and on tune in. this is gb news. now it's over to bevin, andrew . so it's over to bevin, andrew. so we know it's in dictionary now. partick but do you really care? bofis partick but do you really care? boris after all, only eight. a little bit of i'm sure. you the cake? no, i don't think he did.
10:34 am
10:37 am
gb news, it's 1036. this news, it's1036. this is to the point on gb news with andrew pierce and bev turner. so boris johnson is to face showdown over partygate. that could be the end of his political career his defence. his defence team however is accused the inquiry of suppressing evidence. they say they say could say could they say could actually you'll have to step down as an mp he faces allegations he misled parliament when he denied the coronavirus lockdown rules were broken when parties were held in number 10. well joining us in westminster now is our very own political reporter, olivia utley olivia . reporter, olivia utley olivia. the inquiry to when he gives evidence tomorrow has to prove that he knowingly misled parliament. and there's quite a
10:38 am
lot of fuss about that in team bofis lot of fuss about that in team boris about. the fact that the committee has changed the rules a way . yes. so boris johnson's a way. yes. so boris johnson's defence, which he gave to the committee yesterday , the 60 page committee yesterday, the 60 page dossier, which the committee so far is still sitting on, his defence rests on three different arguing . the first is that the arguing. the first is that the committee has , as you suggest committee has, as you suggest there, has the bar for what counts misleading parliament in a way that would lead to a resigning offence. so we know that knowingly misleading parliament, intentionally misleading parliament i.e. lying is a resigning offence. but the committee has changed the words and what they're looking for, for boris, they are now saying knowingly, recklessly misled parliament. well, recklessly is a word that comes no precedent. so if the committee that he they can't prove he knowingly misled but they can say that he misled. well, what exactly does that mean? the other defence that bofis mean? the other defence that boris johnson is resting on is that the committee itself is biased. so harry harman, who's
10:39 am
chairing the committee, the labour mother of the house, tweeted last year saying boris johnson knowingly lie , while johnson knowingly lie, while bofis johnson knowingly lie, while boris johnson's defence team say that proves that she'd already prejudged outcome of this inquiry before it even went into stage and. the final defence of bofis stage and. the final defence of boris johnson's team resting on is that when boris said to the house that he wasn't aware of any parties he was acting on the advice of his officials . so he advice of his officials. so he didn't knowingly mislead because was only doing what his officials had told him to do. now, why ? sources are now saying now, why? sources are now saying that he he was told he was given correct advice by his officials , but he then went off script in parliament. so it's not clear whether that particular piece of his defence is going to hold. it'll be really interesting to find out more when this finally decides that it is time to release the 60 page dossier. hopefully today . is there an hopefully today. is there an appetite within a conservative party for boris to be cleared
10:40 am
and, come back in some sort of capacity ? or is that rishi capacity? or is that rishi sunak's worst nightmare . well, sunak's worst nightmare. well, it's a really interesting question, actually. there's a conservative home that the renowned website, which polls conservative member this conservative member this conservative own poll out today suggesting that conservatives on the whole would like to see bofis the whole would like to see boris name cleared and they would like to see him remaining an mp. but they don't particularly want him coming back to a high level position. and of course rishi sunak is very worried about too. now rishi sunak granted meps a free vote on whether to suspend boris essentially put it to the oxbridge constituency on whether to spend boris if he is found guilty. well, that in itself comes with all sorts of difficulties likely to be cabinet splits has already indicated that she would support boris. but there are plenty of ministers in rishi sunak's government who wouldn't . so the government who wouldn't. so the bofis government who wouldn't. so the boris problem isn't really going
10:41 am
away for rishi sunak. but he may some comfort from the fact that at conservative members don't seem to want him back as prime minister imminently, or at least to according conservative home poll out today . that's poll out today. that's deliberately a political correspondent in westminster. it dominates the news doesn't even when around when he opens his mouth he dominates. here to talk about boris johnson, lots of other dawn neesom other things is dawn neesom former deputy boris johnson return and of course, was a longstanding adviser to tony blair party. it's fantasy stick it's the gift that keeps on giving to the labour party because it actually shows us in slow motion what we always knew about boris . slow motion what we always knew about boris. no one doubted that the man that they made the leader of the tory party and the man that the public, the voters, prime minister. no one doubts that he was a man who would also break rules. he broke routines, broken rules all through his professional career. he broken rules. they broke the rules , get
10:42 am
rules. they broke the rules, get to the top of the tory party. so why be surprised he does it in the in in his own house in downing street and i just think his defence is of a piece with his defence is of a piece with his if his whole style of, of management leadership it was somebody else a big boy did it and then ran away but don't you. don't you think john, that what we should be talking about more than whether boris johnson was whether rules have whether the rules should have been that in the place and when labour would just lockdowns labour would just say lockdowns more can't see more restriction you can't see family school closures. i family more school closures. i know. thing is boris know. the thing is boris johnson's own rules it's like the defence can't be taken over it. i may have broken the rules, but actually looking back i think there too many rules think there were too many rules his he put them on us. he his rules. he put them on us. he made us unable to see our own responsible . now we just want we responsible. now we just want we don't want the person who's in charge of drawing up the rules and speaking to us every day, the television to the television telling us to stick so then it stick the rules. so then it turns out running turns out he's running like a frat house. downing street was not a crisis of my days. don't
10:43 am
you? the voters, the public are as exercised about this as they were. perhaps at the time when people couldn't get to funerals, they couldn't visit . people in they couldn't visit. people in nursing homes and hope mum turned. i think i think right to a certain degree, i think there's still an awful lot of anger out there and rightly so. the rules nonsensical and i suspect many of thought that maybe that we're being broken by the people that were them. and now that has proven to be case. the problem we've got with the bofis the problem we've got with the boris situation at the boris johnson situation at the moment fact. john quite moment is fact. as john quite clearly pointed , he is a lie was clearly pointed, he is a lie was proven liar with jobs because he lied and not mention wives, lied and not to mention wives, but take too long. have you mentioned why? you haven't got to and i'm not going mentioned children otherwise will holiday but the poorer for me is the fact that he lies . he will prove fact that he lies. he will prove that he knew he was lying in this and that's a tricky thing proving someone has lied but proven they knowingly lied is a different thing. well if you
10:44 am
mislead the house, you have the chance. mislead the house, you have the chance . go back and correct the chance. go back and correct the record. and the thing is what he did, he did well. he did. he did. he did. he did. and he apologised. did he do it as quickly as he could? but he did it recording the apology. you you're to wait until you're not meant to wait until the moment of your convenience. you meant do it as soon you you meant to do it as soon you actually realise it goes right to of thing, to the heart of this thing, which is that when people bringing a suitcase full of wine, when they're , there's wine, when they're, there's wastepaper vomit wastepaper basket full of vomit , there wine splashed on , when there is wine splashed on the walls, kids broken swing and the walls, kids broken swing and the privileges committee actually went in walked actually went in and walked around number 10 to work out where the pm what he had to walk past events were so like past where events were so like it's kind of i think they've a reasonably to put it in a storm risk way forensic on. yeah risk way forensic job on. yeah what mates harriet what about your mates harriet harman. can she truly be harman. how can she truly be objective as chairperson of this committee . i know she's committee. i know she's a barrister , former law, former barrister, former law, former law . she's barrister, former law, former law. she's made her barrister, former law, former law . she's made her position law. she's made her position clear and. you know, harriet harman wakes up every day thinking. how can i go at maximum difficulty for? the tory
10:45 am
party, she's the she one of the most figures , the most distinguished figures, the house 40 in house of commons. 40 years in the commons have to be the commons you ever have to be nice about the tories she's nice about the tories and she's chair she's a committee chair she's chairing a committee a majority tory mp it it will a majority tory mp on it it will be the decision of the committee, not the decision of the what's it. the chair and that's what's it. and thing harriet has and the thing that harriet has done that they have done is made sure that they have independent advice in a situation where extraordinarily and incredibly expensive barrister is employed by the taxpayer to defend the boris johnson. no, boris johnson's taxpayer to defend the boris johnson. no, borisjohnson's an johnson. no, boris johnson's an he's being asked by his peers the privileges committee whether he is an mp broke the rules as an mp he wasn't being asked whether he broke the rules. the prime as an mp the taxpayer shouldn't pay for that boris johnson should be paying course of husband from the post of his husband from the post office. can we retain his lawyer only was had every single only black was had every single penny of his legal costs paid dunng penny of his legal costs paid during iraq in quotes during the iraq war, in quotes of we were talking about. of which we were talking about. by of which we were talking about. by this is about by course he did. this is about when was prime minister. tony when he was prime minister. tony plymouth tony did plymouth did tony blair did mislead whether mislead the house? no. whether he misled the house when he was
10:46 am
prime no, no, i said prime minister. no, no, i said i'm no, it's. he i'm making. no, no, it's. he misled commons prime misled the commons prime minister. it it's from that minister. no it it's from that dispatch box. he misled prime minister as an mp. he's not right . i i minister as an mp. he's not right. i i didn't make minister as an mp. he's not right . i i didn't make that right. i know i didn't make that point ashleigh well. i'm point, ashleigh so well. i'm gonna say we were joking outside. john about going to outside. john about you going to boris. what would you give him now? i'll just say , the first now? i'll just say, the first thing is always say sorry as quickly and admit as much as possible as soon as possible. because being being sorry doesn't always get. yeah it was tough, but having an apology dragged out of you is always very damaging. and that's what that's what's been proven. what do you say, john? do you feel like we've had that apology from blair, what to apologise for, for liberating iraq? is that how you are defending the passage of defending nations defending the united nations weapons inspectorate regime ? weapons inspectorate regime? there's nothing to apologise for. there it is. there's for. well there it is. there's the hundreds thousands of the hundreds of thousands of people but the this people died here. but the this entire saying was executed. and a democracy did not replace it.
10:47 am
it the islamic state stepped in. the middle east has been in a state of absolute chaos ever since. he's got a foreign apology. well, you know, i feel the first is designed to defend everything. this is this is this is this is the extraordinary situation of modern politics. tony blair stood down as prime minister in two thousand and seven. and yet everything apparently fault . it's apparently is his fault. it's his responsibility . the iraq war his responsibility. the iraq war was just war. the iraq war know 20 years on was was not an illegal war was a legal war. and the war actually was in defence of the united nations weapons inspectors . if weapons inspectors. if weapons inspectors. if weapons inspectors can't get to in that, there was never any evidence, never any evidence of weapons of mass destruction. well there's plenty that he stood up in the house of commons and tony blair lied and he said, we have evidence of weapons. he didn't lie. nobody except bush. will evidence of weapons. he didn't lie.with ody except bush. will evidence of weapons. he didn't lie.with you except bush. will evidence of weapons. he didn't lie.with you no ept bush. will evidence of weapons. he didn't lie.with you no matterh. will evidence of weapons. he didn't lie.with you no matter regardless be with you no matter regardless of the human cholesterol damage, regardless that regardless of the vacuum that is left space, that you left in that space, that you have or explanation, the have a dodgy or explanation, the dodgy sexed up dodgy dossier they sexed up every single in the west had the
10:48 am
same mentality and same intelligence had joined the military action . yeah, i know. military action. yeah, i know. so the, the you in the military action in germany the germans and the french decided not to be involved. there's a big surprise. the germans and the french not being involved. they did come in immediately afterwards up the afterwards to scoop up the reconstruction. didn't bomb afterwards to scoop up the recccivilians n. didn't bomb afterwards to scoop up the recccivilians to didn't bomb afterwards to scoop up the recccivilians to say didn't bomb afterwards to scoop up the recccivilians to say don't't bomb afterwards to scoop up the recccivilians to say don't . bomb the civilians to say don't. yeah. did reflect on the yeah. did you reflect on the iraq yesterday, 20 years, whether we've learned anything from that time. i have we learned anything ? no, i don't learned anything? no, i don't think we have sadly , as we've think we have sadly, as we've already discussed , many already discussed, many thousands of people died and i do think tony blair still has questions to on that one. and all this recollections may vary. and we talk about boris johnson being very bullish , not being very bullish, not admitting that he ever anything wrong. i think tony blair does is cut from the same cloth . and is cut from the same cloth. and tony blair has gone on to make millions of pounds for me as well, which i rankles about by some pretty dodgy countries to
10:49 am
and continues to at the centre of lots of political decisions which upset a lot of people. what digitalised decent decision these is he's put forward as an opinion him and hague have got the same opinion see it which no doubt he will a lot of money out of how the tony blair foundation tentacles in all of these he doesn't run the company that's run a digital media company. it doesn't run like if it wasn't for him, then why is he the foot? why is he first and foremost? because he actually he and william both agree that we actually have actually should have a modernised for this modernised id system for this country other country in country. every other country in europe has got one. why europe has got one. so why nobody for it is not nobody has voted for it is not democratic. that has not been on any not been on any political agenda. and certainly tony blair's parachute did him telling us we're going be telling us we're going to be tied to tech and biometric tied to our tech and biometric digits like a like if tony blair and hague together wrote and william hague together wrote that report that william hill figure william hague that's the tories let the tories that are
10:50 am
worse election defeat against tony in 2001 the worst election defeat untiring political figure he is he's a significant shall we talk about this right we've had this casey review it's looks terrible for the met don't a lot of you is getting in touch saying it isn't the police's job be nice to people and to always choose perfect word and not offend anyone then been catching criminals they're criminals but clearly they're not right. no, they not getting it right. no, they are they're not. and i must admit, i read as much as report was on to read this morning was on time to read this morning and to blakesley and talking to peter blakesley here had earlier on and here you had on earlier on and it's absolute as a woman in london easily chilling london i find easily chilling and peter was saying that his wife had a long career in the starting in the 1980s. she in child protection and she read this report and she the testimonies and she actually said bev she said this is worse than in the 1980s in the early 1990s. and i find particularly
10:51 am
utterly appalling i mean and three decades nearly after the macpherson report , we know that macpherson report, we know that the institutional racism then seems to spread now into institutes and misogyny and homophobe phobia and i just find some of the testimonies from female police officers about how they've been treated and obviously the whole overall thing, you know, i still actually have nightmares about sarah over the last few hours on this. how utterly horrific and terrified that having to trust in a police officer . and the in a police officer. and the question i'm being asked now all the time is as a woman do i trust the police and you to yeah what alternatives we have you have to trust the police and that's all sarah did that night but women if you are watching this report it's horrific but you must come forward if you are assaulted or attacked please you have to put your trust in the police and you have to fight corner and you have to go and report these crimes because
10:52 am
otherwise we are never going to solve. do think, john? it solve. do you think, john? it was always that the elements of the been the police will have been homophobic. have been homophobic. they will have been this chauvinistic, they will have racist. but now have being racist. but now we're just in a way just looking for it in a way that we haven't before. this that we haven't before. no, this is is fundamental, systemic is this is fundamental, systemic structure, that's what structure, cheryl. that's what mcpherson some good work mcpherson some some good work was done after macpherson not enough. i mean, the thing is that the, one of the issues around the met places their use of violence now cressida dick should never ever have become the commissioner of the metropolitan police after was she was the lead officer in the murder of george alderman says she should should have been sacked at that point not not promoted the unwillingness of politicians to actually do the role of managing the police force bowing to what they want to do . they use an expression in to do. they use an expression in the report. john i watering force on suspects . yeah. eye force on suspects. yeah. eye watering force. well, what we've heard of the people that made with we saw we saw the pictures
10:53 am
of was done to women who would demonstrate about the murder of a woman by a police but actually in in one sense what we all learning today and hearing about is what the black community in london has has experienced for decadesis london has has experienced for decades is what the minorities in oppressed communities have experienced for decades. and so and the homophobia that it's on, it was unacceptable . the it was unacceptable. the eighties and the nineties and the 2000. it's definitely unacceptable . baroness casey unacceptable. baroness casey says in that report after sarah everard, she said it should the equivalent of a plane falling out of the sky, really graphic, dramatic imagery. yes. and nothing happened. no, i know. i think the baroness casey has used is particularly good because it does you know, normally these these ripples could be dropped early, aren't they? absolutely brilliant. and i think that really does happen at home. so everyone can read this report. obviously, report is littered on every front page warning. i think there's warning. and i think there's a language written and it's language is written and it's really to everybody . and
10:54 am
really home to everybody. and the one quote i keep coming back to, is this all for the detection rate is so low london you might as well say it's legal and that i just read sadiq khan playing a bit of politics with this this morning and capitalising upon it, you think, john? well my view is that so the boot in on labour for changing the own view is the city was too slow act on cressida dick too slow to act over sarah everard yeah. there were many times before that i think, look i think can say he was hampered by the split responsibility with the home secretary as the mayor's charge of the mayors, not in chinatown. she was in charge. i agree. we're not talking about naomi, but that's not that. it can't be both. and it's the one thing i was surprised about and disappointed by in the appointment custody, because there was an opportunity to go round the world search for the best police chief in the world and go. you have got carte
10:55 am
blanche to this place. there is a case for you when can if you're a decent cop, you will know what's wrong from top to bottom. you try and sort it, not jump, turn and donation. thank you so much. you're going to be back with us in the next. i was going to bring you a tv news exclusive before the show. i spoke to one of the three men who were falsely accused grooming by elena williams. his name is mohamed ramzan and more to come on that in the next. don't miss it. hello i'm alex deakin and this is your latest weather update from the met office for most a brighter day today to yesterday with some sunshine, but there are a few heavy showers . still pretty mild heavy showers. still pretty mild as where the systems are gathering out in the atlantic . gathering out in the atlantic. all going to bring spells of rain across the uk. one is clearing away , leaving, as i clearing away, leaving, as i say, with a brighter day, but still plenty of showers around the midlands and eastern england. pretty lively england. some pretty lively downpours this afternoon . a downpours this afternoon. a heavy is likely in a few

11:02 am
is your latest news with tamsin roberts. but thanks very much. good morning from the gb newsroom, it's 11:01. a scathing newsroom, it's11:01. a scathing into britain's largest police force has found it to be institutional, force has found it to be institutional , racist, institutional, racist, misogynistic and homophobic. baroness louise casey, who led the review into the metropolitan police is warning victims have been let and that officers who abuse power have shattered pubuc abuse power have shattered public trust. commissioner sir mark has said he's sorry and that this be a catalyst for change. the report also found the met's ethics standards and disciplinary procedures have failed abysmally . and baroness failed abysmally. and baroness casey is calling a complete overhaul . the moment that sarah overhaul. the moment that sarah everard was raped, abduct, abduct , raped everard was raped, abduct, abduct, raped and murdered by a serving police officer , i find serving police officer, i find it extremely ordinary that in policing and in the police that wasn't there moment of like , wasn't there moment of like, plane falling out of the sky. i just think it is so dreadful the change didn't come . so now this
11:03 am
change didn't come. so now this report has to carry that and has to take responsibility for getting the change needed . getting the change needed. shadow policing minister sarah says labour is calling for new mandatory national standards . mandatory national standards. the facts are there for all to see. whatever call it, there is institutional racism, misogyny institutional racism, misogyny in the police force we have let down women. we are letting down londoners and we letting down the good police officers who are trying to do their job but are really by lack of resources . so really by lack of resources. so there is a role there for the of course, but there is also a role for government. we need national standards that are mandatory on vetting and misconduct . for vetting and misconduct. for detective superintendent shabana chaudry told us she's, appalled by the findings. she admits her career was tarnished after becoming a whistleblower and. says officers should be able to speak out without fear of punishment . when you're a
11:04 am
punishment. when you're a whistleblower you try to speak out, you very, very quickly find yourself you find yourself in victim . you find yourself being victim. you find yourself being intimidated by officers. you find just rats being closed around you . there's an inability around you. there's an inability by leaders within the organisation managers to fail to actually deal with these issues because they are too scared of their own career progression . to their own career progression. to other news now, the sister of , a other news now, the sister of, a head teacher who took her own life after an ofsted inspection, says her death a direct result of the deeply report and the of the process. ruth perry was the head at caversham school in redding. she killed herself in january while awaiting the review, which gave the school the lowest possible rating. the inspection found the school to be good . every category apart be good. every category apart from leadership and management where was judged to be inadequate . the transport inadequate. the transport secretary is on the rmt to give members a vote on the latest pay
11:05 am
from rail operators. so next week strikes could be called off . it's after members of the union work for network rail accepted a similar pay rise of between 9.2 and 14.4. industrial action planned by the rmt for next and saturday, but mark harper is urging them to call it off. network can now get on with delivering reform to how they delivering reform to how they deliver maintenance and how they run the infrastructure on the railways. that's halfway done. i think the next stage is that i want the rmt to put what is broadly same fair and reasonable offer to their members that work for the operating companies and call off next week's strike. so i think that would be fantastic news for the travelling public if their members if the rmt members get the chance to consider that pay offer as well for those that work on the train train companies themselves . the train companies themselves. the kremlin says president vladimir putin and xi jinping discussed china's peace plan ukraine
11:06 am
dunng china's peace plan ukraine during their first day of talks in moscow. it's understood the 12 point paper calls for a de—escalation of the war and an eventual ceasefire . president eventual ceasefire. president putin said he'd carefully studied china's ideas and view them with respect. the pair will meet for a second day of talks later. president xi has invited putin visit china and called for regular meetings. damage caused by pot holes has forced almost 2.7 million cars off the road in past year. new research by the asphalt industry alliance says pothole is currently on roads every 20 to seconds. but authority highways team did england and wales only receive two thirds of what they needed to prevent further deterioration. last year. to prevent further deterioration. last year . the deterioration. last year. the alliance says almost billion poundsis alliance says almost billion pounds is now needed . fix the pounds is now needed. fix the backlog of carriageway repairs . backlog of carriageway repairs. this is gb news more for me shortly now though is back to there .
11:07 am
there. good morning. it's 1106. there. good morning. it's1106. thank you for joining good morning. it's1106. thank you forjoining us on gb news. a new report out today into britain's britain's largest force has found it to be institutionally racist misogynistic and homophobic. the by baroness louise casey is an independent review into the met police and she's found it quote rotten. she's also called for a complete overhaul because she says in the police has collapsed . meanwhile commissioner mark rowley similarly says progress being made to reform the by setting her in terms of the bullets of the diagnose of what we've got wrong. i'm just simply not wrapping it up in the same level. we're going to be answering this until the scottish homophobic. i've stepped up massively capability and official standards department. our men and women in the organisation reporting more incidents. we are sacking officers a faster rate of their because of their help . so we are
11:08 am
because of their help. so we are making the progress that we would expected to take some time. we are slowly reducing the risk that we have in the organisation . if you don't have organisation. if you don't have integrity, public will integrity, the public will expect that was smart. he's the metropolitan commissioner. so if you don't share my view, but i think he's deeply, deeply underwhelming. to underwhelming. joining us to talk more about this is the crime justice and policing commentator danny shaw. danny morning. this report is shocking in every level . you're a veteran in every level. you're a veteran of these. what to you ? probably of these. what to you? probably the worst part . it i think the the worst part. it i think the worst parts of the andrew is the culture of the met many of us who've covered police in over a quarter of century as i have know that it's an organisation that's very proud of itself. it likes to think that it knows to how things best. it's a kind of we know best attitude. know outsiders, their views really welcome or appreciated . and this welcome or appreciated. and this report really nails that culture in a way that no other report
11:09 am
into the met has ever done. it really gets underneath the body of the met. it shows this defensiveness culture this denial this arrogant culture . denial this arrogant culture. and then alongside that you have these terrible examples of prejudice , bias, discrimination prejudice, bias, discrimination , and which really sickening and. and then as well as that you've got this analysis of data analysis that the met has never done itself. but this review team has managed to do in 12 months, which that a lot of the processes and, procedures at discrimination sort of embedded within them. so overall , the within them. so overall, the whole culture of the place is toxic, despite the fact that i know that there are thousands amazingly talented, dedicated it skilled officers and investigators who do carry out amazing inquiries. but they're being let down by. a minority of officers and the staff and the
11:10 am
culture, the pace . danny, let me culture, the pace. danny, let me read one of our viewers messages to you, mark has got in touch from scotland and he says the matter on the back foot ever since they abandoned communities to the criminals with the closure stations , removal of closure of stations, removal of beat officers and soften sentences under pressure from so—called progressives who , so—called progressives who, always take the side of the villains in sport, as smart as have gone. is it any wonder that low apply now to be cops ? low apply now to be cops? there's a lot in there, but just unpack a bit for me. i think particularly the visuals, having police officers on our streets , police officers on our streets, people mess up . yeah, look, i people mess up. yeah, look, i don't think you can the police for sentencing, okay but in terms of the closure of , police terms of the closure of, police stations. yes, i think well over , 100 police stations in london have been closed. and what the report does really well, it identifies the fact that resources and power have gone to the centre of new scotland yard and away from borough units in
11:11 am
london. there are 12 basic a borough command units news and some of these areas for example cover southwest london or north—west london . they are north—west london. they are bigger than police forces outside the and yet the person holds the rank of which is just above chief superintendent. and yet they're , in command of yet they're, in command of thousands of officers and staff. hugely complex issues. but there's too much power the centre and i think that's the reason why people who are calling in listening in saying well we don't see cops on the street the police stations have closed. the are shoddy . it's closed. the are shoddy. it's because a lot of the resource and the power has gone to the centre the specialist units and the report really that out and that's got to change that is the one structural change that i think needs to happen now can't another two or five years. is there also a danny a contradiction, inherent contradiction, inherent contradiction fact this police force is involved? is in the
11:12 am
thick of the battle against anti—terror and yet it's also the police force that i want to knock on my door when my house is burgled or my is pinched. knock on my door when my house is burgled or my is pinched . can is burgled or my is pinched. can the two are they incompatible? should they now be separate it out ? i think should they now be separate it out? i think there's an argument for that. i think the problem with that is that the counter—terrorism policing by consent you know , is pretty consent you know, is pretty effective. it's well resourced got some top people working if you start to dismantle it will change the structure the danger is that you weaken that. i think is that you weaken that. i think is an argument to say isn't the point though because it is so effective it's getting the lion's share of the resources and. perhaps some of those resources are not filtering down to community policing to local police stations , to bobbies on police stations, to bobbies on the beat . yeah no, i agree. and the beat. yeah no, i agree. and i think there's a question resourcing, but i'm not i'm not sure that changing the structure of the counter—terrorism unit
11:13 am
and hiving it off from the met is the answer. but i think there is the answer. but i think there is a question about resources. but don't forget that terrorism starts at community level at, neighbourhood level, with people having trust the police to give them tips, to give them, intelligence that to build that understanding and those relationships. and that has definitely lost because of definitely been lost because of the that neighbourhood the way that neighbourhood policing been of dismantled policing has been of dismantled effectively like you've said a little bit, danny, about what you'd like to see changed. changing culture is very, very difficult , isn't it? because difficult, isn't it? because what you effectively doing is trying get into an individual's mind and change the way they see the world. it's very difficult to get rid of prejudice in some people how. do they do that? well, it comes from the top. it comes from the leadership. they've got to set the right example. there's not just leadership smart and leadership from smart and daimler. his deputy daimler. no. is his deputy leadership also at superintendent, inspector and soldier ranks? and that's really missing . that's partly because missing. that's partly because a lot experienced officers left
11:14 am
the service because of the austerity years. it's partly to do with that you've got an influx of huge number of inexperienced . i think something inexperienced. i think something like a third of the workforce have got less than five years experience and so there's an issue there. obviously it's got to be more representative of the communities it serves that will help , but it's really difficult help, but it's really difficult to put a culture in place overnight. it takes years and years to build that up, but it does start with the leadership and it does start with people calling out when they hear or see things that aren't right. and for those complaints to be taken and hasn't taken seriously. and that hasn't happened this happened enough. hopefully this report will clear that that report will make clear that that has start. i just want to has got start. i just want to say one other thing which i think you know, louise casey has sort of highlighted and similar is if you like, the that violence against women and girls rape and sexual assaults haven't been given the priority and it's the friezes that she found where samples from victims rape were
11:15 am
kept there in the heat wave last summer broke down lots of rape samples were basically destroyed as a result. couldn't be use cases collapsed . that to me cases collapsed. that to me symbolise is the lack of care that's been given to local policing and to and violence against women and girls. you can tough you can say we've got a new strategy on this, but get the basics right. put the facilities in place. that's a bafic facilities in place. that's a basic isn't isn't it? it's horribly incompetent if you have the store where the firearms was held that wasn't secure. yeah. there would be an outrage that. where's the outrage about ? where's the outrage about? fridges and freezers . thank you, fridges and freezers. thank you, danny. danny. sure that and policing compensation is . policing compensation is. absolutely right. it's contemptible for any woman listening to that, thinking that rape samples are in a freezer that breaks down during the heatwave and that also officers put their lunch boxes in the same fridges and freezers then effectively contaminating the samples because they didn't care . yeah, that's it isn't it. they didn't they care didn't care. they didn't care and weren't frightened that
11:16 am
and they weren't frightened that somebody that office was somebody in that office was going account if going hold them to account if they up that way. they messed up that way. leadership, leadership leaders always. casey in that always. casey said in that report. it's as thomas highlighting. it's got so bad, no raping, you know, so it's no raping, you know, so say it's legal in don't legal rape in london. don't forget, you're just joining forget, if you're just joining us, an interview yesterday us, i did an interview yesterday with victims of the with one of the victims of the eleanor story. she was eleanor williams story. she was the woman falsely accused the woman who falsely accused some damage some individuals, caused damage to the face with the to self in the face with the hammer. pictures hammer. the pictures were shocking. to one of shocking. i've spoken to one of her we're going to play her victims. we're going to play that in just a moment. now if the tories are going to win the next general election, doesn't the tories are going to win the next gelikely,alection, doesn't the tories are going to win the next gelikely, does on, doesn't the tories are going to win the next gelikely, does it? doesn't the tories are going to win the next gelikely, does it? ifyesn't the tories are going to win the next gelikely, does it? if yout it very likely, does it? if you look at polls, got to retain look at the polls, got to retain some those so—called red wall some of those so—called red wall seats north of seats across the north of england and midlands. england and the midlands. so, don, dunkirk sort don, just outside dunkirk sort of for the of voted conservative for the first in 2019, but in first time in 2019, but in november doncaster and sheffield airport , leaving many locals airport, leaving many locals feeling angry. so our economics business editor liam halligan has this special report from up there . doncaster airport last there. doncaster airport last november , thousands protest november, thousands protest angry the closure of this busy

11:42 am
nothing to do with him. even when he is the man who wrote the rules. the man who told us to obey the rules . the man who from obey the rules. the man who from the we from the whatsapp the we know from the whatsapp messaging was part of messaging who was part of a cabal of politicians, the police, get extra there police, to get extra tough there was a van, went through my park shouting people yeah i hated shouting at people yeah i hated that the whatsapp that part of the whatsapp telling people get their telling people to get off their benches. in this benches. they the police in this they what the police but you they did what the police but you see is john like with see the thing is john like with those whatsapp and those whatsapp messages and whether examine in the whether you examine in the ministry of detail i did was it bofis ministry of detail i did was it boris was a passenger to some extent he was having his strings pulled by and balancer hancock and cummings and then boris is kind of going well what does that mean? that mean? that mean? what does that mean? so maybe maybe his defence is he didn't know. you know what i you might have because i've might have a point because i've always an opinion that always been an opinion that bofis always been an opinion that boris lets whatever boris actually lets whatever happens the time his happens all the time keep his testicles in handbag. so i think bofis testicles in handbag. so i think boris would always use that defence supply. oh my god. did i know it wasn't my fault? it was
11:43 am
always someone else's fault. and to be to the man. what else can he say in situation? he has to come up with something . but he come up with something. but he was prime minister. therefore the stops top. the buck stops at the top. i look at, you know, ran the newspaper. the stops with newspaper. the buck stops with me admitted that. and if i me and i admitted that. and if i said to hold my hands up to it. but then boris, a very, very young woman, as as a young woman, as well as a different leadership style. and i knowing he's not i wonder knowing he's not a never has looked like a greased , is what we call which is , which is what we call which is yes it's sunday. come back to me on that one. maybe patrick, one of the great criticisms of cameron of boris johnson, now the greased always wriggles free. yeah and this well he's trying to, he's trying to wriggle i think is down's wriggle three i think is down's absolutely he's trying to absolutely. what he's trying to say how can you blame me. say is how can you blame me. i was only in charge. yeah. i'm not responsible was just the boss. and as i okay and you you then have to say i don't decisions i'm not responsible for this or made and but he does say that he apologised i says he does say though however he
11:44 am
didn't recklessly or mislead the house on the first december 21/8, summer 2021. but he did say of course he apologised. well, i'm on the 20, we're going to brand it, we're brandishing a bit of paper, bev and i, because this is, i think the nub point for boris johnson is i accept the house of commons was misled by my statement that the rules and guidance had been followed completely but completely at number 10. but when statements made, when the statements were made, hey, made in hey, we go, they were made in good . and on the basis of good faith. and on the basis of what honestly knew and what i honestly knew and believed time did not believed the time i did not intentionally or recklessly mislead december mislead the house on december the other dates or any the 20 that other dates or any other never have other date i would never have dreamed doing . so have to dreamed of doing. so we have to prove now and we personally. but they prove he knowingly they have to prove he knowingly and . what is and recklessly. what is recklessly mean? well, i mean , recklessly mean? well, i mean, that's going to be a lawyer's to do is have a field day with that word well i mean most of word done well i mean most of them involved barristers them involved all barristers they. you to prove they. yes but you have to prove that knowingly did it. and that he knowingly did it. and i don't know what laws lawyers have no right speak on this have no right to speak on this debate, but he's got no parliament court in the land. yes, course. but he's sitting

yes, of course. but he's sitting he's next him one he's got sitting next to him one of cleverest lawyers in of the cleverest lawyers in country. has boris country. david panic has boris and i think quite rightly paid for by the tax who will be whispering the whole whispering in there the whole time think would be time but i think it would be interesting if we knew which lawyers refused to take that brief and i think it'd be really interesting if we why it is it's not government lawyer. it's not treasury solicitor it's some bloke brought off the streets. i reckon this is one of those classic occasions when we get council's opinion. you speak to and they go, you don't want us. we want to ask you all to ask this guy if was a proper government, taxpayer paid government, taxpayer paid government advice, you should be a government case. one of our most distinguished not in this council. no, no, no, no. this field of administrative law, regulatory . it's about the regulatory. it's about the truth, isn't it? i know it's not is. well, it's not about the principle. the world. why not use a former adviser ? it's not use a former adviser? it's not the truth. i don't know what government, what what i'm
11:46 am
telling you. government lawyers to take this case because . they to take this case because. they wouldn't say what boris wanted. that's what cases do cases give you the opinion you pay for? this is opinion. why if his base support as prime minister why the government didn't support panic is a distinguished king case. he's also in the house of lords. he's part of the establishment. john oh yeah, exactly. the irony i mean, the irony of all spending this time discussing whether a politician lied in the house of commons is , this could this not be somebody's full time job, politicians lying in the house, putting that this is this is in more than one person. exactly every single day is somebody of any particular political houston it when they're not baying at each like spoilt brats and this is a problem dhoni's people are so disillusioned with british and this kind of insider and does the whole establishment so much harm it it really does and you i'm very wary talking politicians in sweeping generalisation because i think
11:47 am
it is profoundly wrong to demonise all politicians. it is profoundly wrong to demonise all politicians . we've demonise all politicians. we've seen the horrific consequences of that with joe cocker and joe cocker and david amess. so i think we have to be very careful about demonising all politicians here. but, but you. all right? i mean, i think actually the general public out there now don't believe a word. what any them say, no matter what political party they represent. here's another look. we've had the gray report within weeks the sue gray report within weeks of she the of sue gray. she was the distinguished civil servant who's charity with who's a paragon charity with care, who's now going to go and work for keir starmer that same she is she did her report within a month boris had gone he's resigned, not the prime minister. more is be minister. what more is to be served? argue by this. served? you could argue by this. it's look, personally, i think should look. if we didn't know that boris johnson was a liar and appalling things went on dunng and appalling things went on during the lockdown you know they were writing rules or breaking them left, right and centre politicians of all were doing the same . if we didn't doing the same. if we didn't know that, then are stupid. we deserve the politicians we get
11:48 am
how much money we wasted on this. oh, there's so much money. this because you want him out this is because you want him out . is right so far, . the commons is right so far, she said. boris still a very, very charismatic , if only keir very charismatic, if only keir starmer and would have his charisma. labour's 200 mvp's and the commons. labour doesn't boast the house of commons. this is the this is the house of commons, which is majority , commons, which is majority, massive majority of tory mps deciding that they want to take this issue up with boris johnson tory chucked him out it was a committed tory mp chucked him out tory mps i'm on this committee and this is a situation where boris does not contest the fact that the rules were broken . nobody contests the were broken. nobody contests the fact that he misled he's he is like is he's he's trying he's trying to say well it may have been a lie, but it wasn't didn't think it was a lie when i said it was. well, the rules were and were colin has said, well,
11:49 am
someone please mention that bofis someone please mention that boris was at work which required him to mix with other people who involved in the running of the country. not to drink, but thing is they created a rational, illogical rules to remember. he wanted to do with you, mate, with the scotch and downing street is . not normally street is. not normally a workplace . don't drink. as workplace. don't drink. as damian mcbride said. workplace. don't drink. as damian mcbride said . really? you damian mcbride said. really? you know, damian, brian said , you know, damian, brian said, you know, damian, brian said, you know, when he was drinking, he had a drink problem. he is. he's a drink. promise he was supposed to go and i used to. he used to have to go out to drink the red light. now nobody had beer light. but now nobody had beer fridges went number fridges when. i went to number 10. culture of drinking and 10. this culture of drinking and partying was brought in during partying was brought in during party games. do i put you in party party games. do i put you in party games? brought in by it was because they were working 20 hour days on off to drink so can can say if it comes down to now you've in your sorry if it you've got in your sorry if it comes to what you've got in comes down to what you've got in glass car as it did in glass or your car as it did in parliament. but you could stand
11:50 am
there a coffee. you there having a coffee. you couldn't have a beer. that's we get scotch something. get a scotch or something. although to what although if it comes to what you're drinking, how comes keir starmer was at work meeting with a and that fine and a beer and that was fine and pizza because rules. don't forget pizza. it wasn't forget the pizza. it wasn't wasn't i was wasn't going to curry i was curry rules were curry the rules were investigated bye bye bye investigated twice bye bye bye bye durham police but bye by the durham police but also was a different part also this was a different part of the lockdown a later part the lockdown. there were there were very there were very different rules. all the rules rules. there and all the rules were to and that's why were actually to and that's why the after two the police said after two investigations their started as why england said that the rules was that they were consulted about. i wonder how rishi sunak about. i wonder how rishi sunak about because of course about all this because of course he the fixed notice he got the fixed penalty notice for breaking rules. no one's for breaking the rules. no one's talking got in talking about that. he got in trouble recently his off trouble recently flying his off a high park because, a lead in high park because, well, he's thinking about the police moves and i'm not really sure a seatbelt. not sure wearing a seatbelt. i'm not wearing seatbelt a second wearing a seatbelt a second penalty. didn't penalty. fine for that, didn't they face they penalty points. let's face it, most heinous it, they're not most heinous crimes and he got the lead. but i mean, but he was at the party. yeah. when you didn't know the to. party me. me you if
11:51 am
to. party me. let me tell you if you're party, dawn, you're having a party, dawn, don't inviting me in don't bother inviting me in a tupperware dish like that plays like that. we need the rule. make dress code to take her and that's thing hypocrisy in that's the thing is hypocrisy in the end there's no great i mean yeah maybe be liar but if yeah maybe be a liar but if you're a politician you may everything's you're a liar. i think is the hypocrisy the rules how people think that's debt and the british public will never ever know you advised a prime minister who said very passionately lied over the iraq war because is the 20th anniversary. you were there at the time you are about the only person i know john whose defence that appalling misadventure worst event since worst foreign policy event since suez. worst foreign policy event since suez . so i say every war suez. so i would say every war against which dictator against which you dictator as a good war as well things go to see what you just see what was really. yeah which was a democracy hung on to when democracy and we hung on to when galtieri brought down after galtieri was brought down after the a democracy the falklands war a democracy took argentina. there's took place in argentina. there's no in iraq how no democracy in iraq now. how would boris johnson would you advise boris johnson if you in number 10 before he goes into that committee? well, he's not in number, but if it if
11:52 am
you were advising him, how how would i would i advise him? i'd say, be humble, throw yourself on the mercy of the court . good on the mercy of the court. good luck with that one. even if it means losing his seat in uxbndge means losing his seat in uxbridge , i can guarantee the uxbridge, i can guarantee the people of uxbridge do not care at the moment. what he's done this they want. they just. he's their mp yet you know the are like spiritual for labour like spiritual for the labour candidate by—election candidate at the by—election because the people uxbridge have this london people like the people england the uk , people of england like the uk, they're done with this government. i'm not sure they think any that this think labour is any that this government is finished the government is finished when the labour got a 20 point labour party has got a 20 point lead. did you the poll yesterday. i think you're wrong 20 point lead this government is done. votes are just waiting done. the votes are just waiting on the verandas . the baseball on the verandas. the baseball bats, the liberal punishment, beatings. what can use that sort of language ? i'll never of language? i'll never understood that many verandas in labour for new labour for very middle class families in politics. well, they're sitting
11:53 am
there sharply. it's a funny way of that. they can we talk about you let the voters wait too. they'll they hurt you more. i think think there's a lot of disillusion dissatisfaction homeless. right. can we talk about the crown please on a slightly lighter note but not that light in this this is the drama if you're not familiar with it about the royal family, you'd be surprised. craig netflix drama cost millions and millions make and it is a how would you describe it. well it is it is biographical it's a biopic of the royal family. that's what i'm looking for. but liberties with the facts takes liberties with the facts takes liberties with the drama. it's a speculates that in the latest filming that we've seen pictures of elstree studios. they have re—enacted to some degree dawn the crash in which princess diana and dodi fired and died. a lot of people are saying this is too close to home it is distasteful it's all very well talking about queen vic tory or the young queen elizabeth. but this too close to both. it's this is too close to both. it's a drama. it's acted. i know you
11:54 am
. i mean, i was lucky enough to interview diana. you know, i am not offended. i am not upset. it's a huge of the story of, not offended. i am not upset. it's a huge of the story of , the it's a huge of the story of, the drama that became the royal family's life. it's it. we have to it's not a document entry. we have to separate the two things. it's like you can never make drama about. and that's plenty about the second world war and show the horrors went on then but is trauma yeah what do you think the i think this is not a secret . princess diana died think the i think this is not a secret. princess diana died in a car crash and there were pictures of a crashed car after she died. and in a car crash. and this is this is a story about there's people who've seen about there's people who've seen a crashed car. i remember going on netflix and who has taken and millions and millions of pounds from princess diana's son prince harry and that wife of his of sussex . that's so great taking sussex. that's so great taking a fortune they're great people . fortune they're great people. they're not great. i like bad one. and also are the people
