see you in an hour. back dan. so, look, i knew it was going to be bad, but the privileges kangaroo court attempting to finish off boris johnson's political career was even more crooked, biased and, corrupt than i thought was possible . i, than i thought was possible. i, having read 52 pages of careful and considered evidence from the former prime minister yesterday. it is blatantly obvious that he made a knowingly or recklessly misled parliament. that's what the committee was meant to be investigating today . not the investigating today. not the horrific and inhumane covid rules that, you know , i rules that, you know, i campaigned against throughout the lockdowns . but the anger the lockdowns. but the anger that many feel about the revolting guidance and laws forced upon us in 2020 should not be conflated with an anti—democratic campaign to end the political career of boris johnson by the westminster establishment, because that threatens to undermine british democracy itself . in the rare democracy itself. in the rare moments he was allowed. that was

a point boris himself attempted to hammer home. everyone knows that there are some features of this proceeding that are extremely peculiar and the utmost for you. the chair but you've said some things about this matter before reading the evidence, which are plainly and wrongly prejudicial. the best and fairest course now would be for the committee to publish all the evidence has assembled. despite my repeated requests, the committee has refused to do this as investigator prosecutor, judge and jury. it has elected only to publish the evidence which it incriminating and not the evidence which i rely and which answers the charges . that which answers the charges. that was not a party. i was that of having said it was a party of mr. johnson. when you did actually earlier on people who say that we were partying in lockdown simply do not know what they are talking about. i did not wittingly recklessly not wittingly or recklessly mislead there is not mislead parliament. there is not a evidence suggest

a shred of evidence to suggest that did . and i that you that i did. and i hope that you will exonerate . think you will exonerate. and i think you should exonerate me of any contempt, . i mean, contempt, whatever. i mean, look, that absolutely showed . look, that absolutely showed. but this boris hating committee had made up its mind long before they heard a scrap of evidence. the labour chairwoman, harriet harman, who had already publicly declared her verdict against boris, wants to see him booted from parliament as the final act in her political career. now, remember, boris remains the politician. her party's fear has the ability to beat slippery summer at the next election and dunng summer at the next election and during 3 hours and 15 minutes of torture. as evidence, the committee made clear they only the public destruction of in mind . i have the public destruction of in mind. i have to say if i was accused lawbreaking and i had to give undertakings to the house of commons of all places, i would the advice of a lawyer. it must have been. yes, obvious to you at the time and even obvious

on reflection afterwards , as on reflection afterwards, as this whole thing broke you that it was in breach of workplace guidance relating to social. would it not have been obvious you that that was in breach of the election? are you not naming these officials who you say were giving these assurances because 7 giving these assurances because ? you can't remember who they were? there has been a concerted to de—legitimize the committee to de—legitimize the committee to call us a kangaroo . have you to call us a kangaroo. have you characterise this as a kangaroo court ? if you look if you look court? if you look if you look at what sue gray has to say, but we're not relying on sue grey's. isn't that ironic? the let me be clear . even isn't that ironic? the let me be clear. even if you despise boris johnson and hope he never returns number 10, this committee must not be allowed to drive out of office in an move they have redefined mind their definitions then throw it out any legal precedents in a to claim he recklessly misled parliament. what on earth does

that mean? we're still no clearer after today . and do we clearer after today. and do we really want to exist in a system where prime ministers can no longer answer questions in the house of commons, relying on advice from, top officials and pubuc advice from, top officials and public servants without fearing being booted public life altogether . i've also got to altogether. i've also got to remind you that boris commissioned , the partygate commissioned, the partygate inquiry himself, he realised he had been misled and then he corrected the record in parliament. its findings were released . that report's authors released. that report's authors , sue gray, is now going to become starmer's chief of staff. you couldn't make this stuff up, folks. the deep stitch up of bofis folks. the deep stitch up of boris could actually have deep for our police system. after today, it seems almost to me that this committee has to find him guilty, despite it failing to produce any smoking gun whatsoever . and at that point whatsoever. and at that point will be up to all conservative politicians, even you rishi

sunak, even you to do the right thing for the good of british democracy . the stakes couldn't democracy. the stakes couldn't be higher to respond. now my superstar panel, top daily mail columnist , superstar panel, top daily mail columnist, amanda patel, superstar panel, top daily mail columnist , amanda patel, the columnist, amanda patel, the political dominique samuels and the political editor of the sun mirror, nigel nelson. now amanda patel on the sofa last week you said it was going to be a witch hunt, but did you believe it would be bad as what we saw this afternoon ? you know, i expected afternoon? you know, i expected that it was pretty ferocious . it that it was pretty ferocious. it was. but i thought, i have to say, i thought passed it brilliantly and he kept to his narrative and he kept repeating again and again, i did not. whatever the wording is , you whatever the wording is, you know, recklessly the recklessly and deliberately or or calculating or hideously do all these things he put out said out his case. i like the fact we've. got to be angry. i think the people who support boris and there's still a great number of

them would have thought job well very thought it very very difficult. thought it was interesting looking at bernard jenkins as he's now known when i used to work for william hague on, we used to have a cardboard cut out in have a cardboard cut out him in the office and. i have to say it's slightly more than he was today. it's slightly more than he was today . but the thing that today. but the thing that really, really me about this is setting aside whether or not we should have been locked down, you know, that is our history. that's what done. unless you've worked inside government. well, i in opposition, unless you've worked inside that you do not understand how hard that job is. you just what you work 24 seven and the most of the offices like the ones that boris refers to in number 10. they wouldn't pass a kind of safety test. they're rabbit warrens . but that's kind rabbit warrens. but that's kind of great because you work really closely together, you have crisis after crisis, you are thrown , you throw yourselves thrown, you throw yourselves together to do this work. no one kind of understands that . and kind of understands that. and what really made me so today was

having all these people on the radio saying . oh, it was really radio saying. oh, it was really terrible. i didn't see anyone you know or didn't do this or didn't do that. well, those people went in and worked his advice. his supporters went in and worked the whole way through lockdown at a time when we were paying lockdown at a time when we were paying 70 billion for one in four people to not work at home on furlough and. the rest loads of other people just working home and doing sweetf of other people just working home and doing sweet f a which is funny. adams my mum always said and so you've got this whole bunch of people who didn't work, who didn't go through , work, who didn't go through, didn't, you know, they suffered of course. they suffered really, really hard and be out for really hard and be to go out for walk twice a day and not being able to see your loved ones. oh, come, please, please, please, please, please do please, please please don't do the when want the dying love when want through, this through, though. this is this argument work . argument for people to work. able to see the loved ones the dying parents because they were terrified an inch of their terrified that an inch of their life of people like life because of people like passed johnson. excuse here

passed johnson. the excuse here is that he didn't knowingly the house he's acknowledged that he did mislead house but what does that say about his that actually say about his capabilities ? what did he want capabilities? what did he want to understand? dominic here's his guidance. here's thing. and i want to make it very clear again, you know, because we sat on sofa together throughout, on the sofa together throughout, i regularly on a daily basis throughout all of the lockdowns campaign against the rules and the regulations that boris johnson imposed on. you're saying this this is a completely separate issue and if you care about democracy in, this country, you have to be very careful that a group of mps who call the privileges committee and a full of stacked people who for the establishment effectively who hate someone like boris johnson , he went like boris johnson, he went against the narrative when it came to brexit that they have the power potentially finish his political career against the will of the people. dominic when he was elected to the 83 days so it is not finished finished it is not finished and you have 20

naive you are talking one issue that's brexit you're not some of the safe sailed on this suppress it's still talking about brexit but this sets a precedent witch hunts in westminster. this was the man voted in. but this isn't something that's just happened to boris johnson isn't the victim of this. and this this they hasn't changed the terms of this inquiry in previous inquiries by the privileges committee , they never used this committee, they never used this word recklessly . how on earth, word recklessly. how on earth, nigel what else do you decide that boris acted recklessly? that subjective? this is a kangaroo . it is not based up . kangaroo. it is not based up. it's a sorry. it's not personal it's not a kangaroo court, is it procedure on an existing committee that is there to carry out these things? the rules you concede they've changed the rules specifically for boris johnson because want his head on a plate . so you said the rules, a plate. so you said the rules, the rule change you're talking aboutis the rule change you're talking about is recklessly right . this about is recklessly right. this could his lifeline. that's could be his lifeline. that's the whole point about this, if you watch the end of the

hearing, prove it. did it. don't know if you watched into the heanng know if you watched into the hearing he asked by charles hearing he was asked by charles walker tory whether would walker tory mp whether he would admit to recklessly misleading parliament as opposed to deliberately. why a lifeline is recklessly would be a lesser charge. so yesterday is evidence that boris gave to all of us said there was no evidence that eddie wanted had told him the rules or guidance was being broken . that's what came out of broken. that's what came out of the committee also what came out of the committee in their evidence that was published this morning was that there was no evidence that he was ever told that rules hadn't broken. so the rec this bid's is to go to parliament, make a statement. he just means that without without knowing he could it could be he say he saved his skin because if say he saved his skin because if say he saved his skin because if say he gets five day suspension rather than a ten day one, he carries on as an mp. but he did produce evidence from. jack doyle, who was one of his chief

advisers at the time, making it clear that the guidance had been followed. no, no. what was that all said was that there was no evidence the guidance hadn't been. but none of the official orjack been. but none of the official or jack doyle actually cleared him in the sense of saying, oh yes, absolutely. you're right. there's no problem with that. they were trying suppress evidence, disputes that . well, evidence, disputes that. well, bofis evidence, disputes that. well, boris johnson admits that he misled the house because he got it wrong. and the question here is. but he says he got it wrong because he was misinformed by his advisers. he should have tried them when he was up events. he pictured there. events. he was pictured there. now, be that wasn't now, it might be that he wasn't emphatically there were concerns about breaking, but i really do this idea that he didn't know that it was his work that also doubled as a whole. obviously but look for me what this actually comes down to is much more than partygate because, you know, i think partygate is a stitch. i've never given a about it, but how can we have a system

that never once brought this scrutiny to tony blair? years on, after the war, iraq, there was a fight with tony blair. not not a parliamentary. parliamentary well, it was. i'm sorry. blair lied. and time again about the motivations going to war. and also, more recently , hancock, who's recently, hancock, who's absolute reckless lies when it came to care homes, probably led to the deaths . i do think boris to the deaths. i do think boris johnson would be on matt hancock because he had him as his health secretary. so this whole idea that he's some sort anti—establishment, stalwart i think it really is quite delusional . and in terms of what delusional. and in terms of what the punishment will be, he will simply be suspended it's not like he's going to be thrown in jail because if he's suspended for more than ten days, there can record petition. and can be a record petition. and that right . do you think he'd that right. do you think he'd finish his political career? do you think by—election? so would run in the by—election or would he be you be allowed to he'd be allowed to. well then people

could would if they want him as an mp. i think his career is over anyway and the idea is disagree. amanda patel you just i i have little bit more i think i have a little bit more of understanding of the of an understanding of the political think political process. and you think and you think course is this is this is nigel to make the free speech without becoming the school pro to be able to have a say something you interrupting okay would that be kind of nice ? i was actually speaking to nigel . ? i was actually speaking to nigel. nigel, you think this might thrown him might have thrown him a lifeline? because if you lifeline? yes, because if you get and agree, if he gets gets get and i agree, if he gets gets a suspension below the ten day see, it's a rap over the knuckles. what he needs to be is a bit less arrogant, a bit more humility rap over the knuckles. as an mp, basically, i said that it real punishment. then so it be a real punishment. then so what your point is, i think we have to see because of course it's ten days or more then his political career can be finished off. but we've lots more to discuss on this. my superstar panel with me tonight, amanda patel, dominic samuel, nice one, alison. thank you much. but alison. thank you so much. but also come, royal,

also still to come, royal, angela levin live in the studio to react to these reports. the prince harry potentially faces deportation from america after publicly about his drug use . but publicly about his drug use. but up next in the clash, we want your verdict after boris the witch hunt today . you think he witch hunt today. you think he intentionally and recklessly misled parliament. conservative pair and long time bullies boris ally lord stephen greenhalgh tory mp and criminal barrister. he's no of boris jeffrey highs and former brexit party mep annunziata rees—mogg join me to debate that straight after the break. but your verdict most important to me dan at gb news uk tweet you using the have gb news out poll running there too. cannot wait for the results . cannot wait for the results. straight after the .

break it's break wsfime break it's time for the clash . now, it's time for the clash. now, like the rest of the country, you had boris as evidence to the privileges committee today. you heard my view in the digest and this is a key moment of former pm's forthright defence. i'm here to say to you hand on heart that i did not lie to the when those statements made, they were made in good faith and on the bafis made in good faith and on the basis of what i honestly knew and, believe you ask , i think and, believe you ask, i think bofis

and, believe you ask, i think boris johnson intentionally reckless misled parliament. that is, of course the question being asked by the. so what do you think? email down at gbnews.uk. tweet me at gb news. how poll running too but to debate this now, i'm joined by a stellar line up of political masterminds, the conservative lord stephen green hall. a long ally of boris johnson , the ex ally of boris johnson, the ex tory mp and, criminal barrister gerry hayes , and the former gerry hayes, and the former brexit party mep anansi arthur rees—mogg, great to have you all here. lord green hall. rees—mogg, great to have you all here. lord green hall . the issue here. lord green hall. the issue here. lord green hall. the issue here is that the rules have been manipulated, haven't they by this committee, i believe, to try and finish off . johnson try and finish off. johnson where do you think they stand today? well, they haven't got a leg to stand on without ten months of investigation and hours now of cross—examine . hours now of cross—examine. there's not a shred of evidence that boris knowingly the house

at this stage. i think they've got we've got to on after all this time there's i just don't they've got a case to answer and he should be exonerated . i don't he should be exonerated. i don't see asset do you agree i do i think today we learnt was that they came with a view of what bofis they came with a view of what boris was like and what boris might might not have done and they stuck to it and they asked him repetitive questions showing that they weren't really interested in understanding what he had done. he thought done who he'd spoken to , but to confirm he'd spoken to, but to confirm their own conclusions . jerry their own conclusions. jerry hayes you strongly disagree disagree . what's a nigel nelson? disagree. what's a nigel nelson? who knows this stuff. firstly, yeah , the rules were yeah, the rules were manipulated, correct twist this thatis manipulated, correct twist this that is a lifeline for boris johnson as a criminal barrister tell you i can get a deal with the cps to say plead to reckless this get a lesser sentence.

secondly to attack the committee is attacking parliament attack members of the committee it's attacking parliament because parliament is sovereign parliament is sovereign parliament is sovereign parliament is not subject to judicial review and of course it's not the government who supports these . it's the house supports these. it's the house of commons elect these people . of commons elect these people. so you're attacking the very roots of democracy which you're saying you're trying to protect when you're actually not, oh, he's getting a fair deal now. he's doing this to . well, we can he's doing this to. well, we can see look, if well, who are you going to appoint? we just have your brother, nancy archie. you have jacob as a great parliamentarian. so he tells he's this . this is what you got he's this. this is what you got quite rightly, quite rightly not bnng quite rightly, quite rightly not bring her brilliant brother into this who's who's done stellar work tonight . look no good build work tonight. look no good build green hub to address that question specific . glee that

question specific. glee that gerry has made how on can this committee make determination as to whether boris recklessly misled parliament? there's no legal for the use of that word , legal for the use of that word, is there? this hasn't happened before. this is unprecedented. well hang on a minute, gerry. you're a very very distinguished barrister. this isn't a court of law. this is parliament. and ask the straight question of who know very distinguished and people who look at parliamentary . has anyone ever found to have been guilty , recklessly been guilty, recklessly misleading parliament in the history of parliament the mother of all parliaments? the answer is resolute. no, it doesn't exist as a as as a as a category of offence and there is no precedent. it's not erskine's. it's this is that is cooked up this committee as something where they might be able to find something. we don't even know quite what that means. something. we don't even know quite what that means . the something. we don't even know quite what that means. the real thing and you're a criminal barrister is, you commit the act. enough. that's

act. that's not enough. that's act. that's not enough. that's act. rest. did act. just rest. did you knowingly the act knowingly commit the act and after months hours of after months and hours of questioning a investigation, the sue gray . there's not a shred of sue gray. there's not a shred of evidence that you knowingly misled house. so come on misled the house. so come on now. time to move on. it's to not recklessness. speak helps him that's the whole how it help him that's the whole how it help him if were up for an official hundred did you stay involved ? hundred did you stay involved? how did you get convicted of ? an how did you get convicted of? an offence when the offence doesn't exist in parliamentary terms full refunds. look, you know bofis full refunds. look, you know boris as well as well better than of us do. and is quite a reckless guy . he sales by cherry reckless guy. he sales by cherry . this is the point though isn't it. why they have done it but it only helps boris if you start from point of view that he is guilty . but from point of view that he is guilty. but it from point of view that he is guilty . but it doesn't help from point of view that he is guilty. but it doesn't help him if he is not guilty. guilty. but it doesn't help him if he is not guilty . the charge if he is not guilty. the charge thatis if he is not guilty. the charge that is easier to find him guilty . yeah. and that's what guilty. yeah. and that's what this committee have done though haven't they . they have haven't they. they have determined his guilt before . determined his guilt before. they've heard a shred of

evidence. yes, we know that the chairwoman, harriet. harriet harman, actually, except that view on twitter. so i don't see how to i don't trust the motivation of this committee. i believe they do think boris is guilty and that is fine prove and i'm going then you . you and i'm going then you. you don't see outsourcing don't see how to respond to jerry . jerry how to respond to jerry. jerry let nancy out to respond and you can comment if you believe that the reckless will will get him a lighter sentence . it's only a lighter sentence. it's only a lighter sentence. it's only a lighter sentence. it's only a lighter sentence. if you start the point of view that he's guilty if you think it should have been a fair, open trial, it wasn't necessary . sorry. wasn't necessary. sorry. committee hearing investigation, yet another investigation where we've already had so many from the metropolitan police from sue gray who have done this job and a lot of that evidence wasn't even taken into account and as a nofice even taken into account and as a notice to jerry jerry, let me just put something to you. you you're one of the members of the

establishment who just have a visceral of boris johnson . you visceral of boris johnson. you this is personal. visceral of boris johnson. you this is personal . you you both this is personal. you you both look, i rather like boris you know, he's a he's a very individual . what we don't like individual. what we don't like about boris doesn't have a really good and happy relationship with the truth for a start , he said, well, never a start, he said, well, never mind, let's get back to the committee. because that's really, really that the committee have given him a lawyer , which we're paying for. lawyer, which we're paying for. david panic, load. panic never happened before. so that's interesting . secondly, they interesting. secondly, they consulted a former lord justice of appeal who used to run the court system for fairness. so they've taken advice. so it's going to be and then finally it's them. parliament decides and the conservatives said it's going to be a free vote . now it going to be a free vote. now it can't get much better that you can't get much better that you can't say that's a witch hunt, it's democracy , it's it's democracy, it's parliamentary sovereignty . lord parliamentary sovereignty. lord grey. now it is a witch hunt. if

you invent a new charge after the event, we do not believe that prospective law in this country lord basis. what they have done . lord. great. how do have done. lord. great. how do you want to respond? well, look, the reality is that every shred of evidence that could have got bofis of evidence that could have got boris been given to that committee and redacted. they've had months and months, months to look at things and frankly, they've up with absolutely they've come up with absolutely , move on. think , it's time to move on. think the country is sick and tired of all of this. and now you are, of course, one of boris's closest allies. do you think there's another act to his political career as well? is he still motivated by that? well, i think he is. i mean, this is a man with you know, the midas touch when it comes to elections i've described him as the conservatives someone who will come again and serve come back again and serve a distinct second term as prime minister is electoral stardust. and we haven't of boris and we haven't the last of boris johnson any means johnson by any means conservative stephen conservative peer lord stephen green, how absolutely brilliant to have you alongside the tory mp, criminal barrister jerry hayes former brexit mep,

hayes and former brexit mep, brilliant political commentator, don't see out rees—mogg but who don't see out rees—mogg but who do you agree with after his privileges committee hearing? do you think boris johnson intentionally and recklessly misled parliament from lee on twitter after watching the heanng? twitter after watching the hearing? it's abundantly clear it's not a farce. the committee have clearly already made up their minds and have no intention listening to a single word. boris has say. steve word. boris has to say. steve writes, boris had six months writes, boris has had six months with highly lawyers , with his highly paid lawyers, come defence. i come up with his defence. i don't word says, don't believe a word he says, and bbc. i watched the hearing and bbc. i watched the hearing and i saw a man explaining his thinking and actions. these were honest sleaze explained and totally the committee was woefully in their line of questioning with strong emphasis on guilty , prove otherwise and on guilty, prove otherwise and your verdict is now in. 60% of your verdict is now in. 60% of you say yes boris did intentionally and, recklessly mislead parliament. 40% of you say he did not. so i split now coming up after boris johnson stood up the kangaroo court in

westminster today . and as the westminster today. and as the stormont framework is waved through the commons, despite significant tory rebellion, former conservative minister and widdecombe joins me to all things boris and brexit. but first to journalists and author angela levin live in the studio to explore reports that the duke of delusion prince harry could be booted out of the states after his foolish public admissions drug abuse. see you in a moment .

and it came on the way. but first, a top american lawyer has claimed that prince harry's drug taking confessions could threaten his visa. former federal prosecutor nima ramani told the new york post last night an admission of drug use usually grounds for inadmissibility . that means inadmissibility. that means prince harry's visa should have been denied or revoked because he admitted to using cocaine , he admitted to using cocaine, mushrooms and other drugs . now, mushrooms and other drugs. now, the heritage foundation , d.c. the heritage foundation, d.c. based conservative tank is currently locked in a battle with officials who are refusing to publish any details about the duke's fees . this is one of the duke's fees. this is one of the founding directors, great friend of the show. nile gardiner, explaining exclusively , while explaining exclusively, while they are fighting for trans balancing the oversight project at the heritage foundation has submitted a freedom of information request to the biden

administration to make public prince harry's application . it prince harry's application. it is vitally that anyone who appues is vitally that anyone who applies to the united states receive is equal treatment . it receive is equal treatment. it is important no one receives preferential treatment in terms of their immigration application. and a key question is whether or not prince harry's affleck's turn to the united states received full vetting and scrutiny, especially in light of his widespread drug use . he his widespread drug use. he admitted to in his memoir , admitted to in his memoir, spare. this is issue of accountability and transparency . and there should not be under any circumstance , preferential any circumstance, preferential treatment given to a public figure like prince harry. everyone should be treated equally before the law and. we are asking for biden administration to be fully transparent it in providing the documentation that has been requested with regard to prince

harry's immigration and to right to right . so joining me harry's immigration and to right to right. so joining me now, prince harry's biographer , prince harry's biographer, angela levin. angela do you think given he has very clearly broken us law that prince harry actually now be deported from the us ? yes, it's very the us? yes, it's very interesting because when heard him say what drugs he's taken without feeling uncomfortable in way, i thought to myself he's going to be in trouble. you know , might not get back into america again. so some of the you know, i'm not a lawyer. i don't know these things, but it's quite obvious that america does not like to take people in, take drugs. it's been going on long time. and he shouldn't get special treatment. i don't know how much special treatment he got. he was taken in because he's only got a visa for a certain time . but this is more certain time. but this is more important to me. i just don't understand how he could be so naive harry. and say what was

taking almost as if it was an accomplishment and don't understand why he's wife didn't warn him about that. he talks to her about everything he's going to. she's in charge as we know. and say look be careful . because and say look be careful. because if you talk too much about magic mushrooms and the cocaine and all that, you might in trouble. why she left him alone to make his own mind up what he says. i feel quite concerned about . and feel quite concerned about. and also the health guru who is talking to him should said beforehand don't mention all the drugs. here's a who's helping him ? who's in such a muddle to him? who's in such a muddle to try and think clearly and improve. and there he is actually making his life extremely difficult. so he's said he's killed 25 afghanistans, which makes his life very much more difficult. and people could be after him .

and people could be after him. and people could be after him. and it is even more protection . and it is even more protection. and it is even more protection. and this one makes it very difficult if can get back into his country if he leaves for the coronation . i think that's very coronation. i think that's very significant and you ought to take that into account because maybe that maybe they won't let him come back come back there, and then he'll be in trouble. i mean, probably the thing that he's got going in his favour is obviously there's a democrat administration in the us . obviously there's a democrat administration in the us. biden see a big support too of harry and meghan. you know, if trump and meghan. you know, if trump and his wife, they're threatened . harry and indeed so i'm sure he is getting what they call celebrity justice the us special treatment. but if there was a trump administration shouldn't he actually might be call could be booted because you know if this was an ordinary citizen who had boasted about drug use in this way there was no way he would have been allowed to enter the us. i've read lots of stories today of british folk who have been caught by us customs officials. sometimes they even go through people's

phones to make sure that there's no of drug use. harry has actually admitted it. he's boasted about breaking the us law. i think one thing that if not caught actually taking or selling drugs, you might not be thrown out by the i actually read story of one woman who had simply spoken to friends on text messages about taking drugs. no charges whatsoever. and she was booted out of the country. it's a very unfair world and he shouldn't get away with it. i mean, he's no longer a prince in working capacity . he's mean, he's no longer a prince in working capacity. he's had amazing help and being spoilt up from top to bottom. i don't think he should be given any particular treatment . and the particular treatment. and the thing is, angela, all of this talk of drug use, it was so obvious that he just thought it was cool. you know, he was very proud of the fact that he'd been these homes of hollywood celebrity teams like courteney

cox of taking mushrooms is actually for someone who claims he's a humanitarian. i mean, i don't believe prince a humanitarian. it was taken as one human being who cares about them. that's himself. but he claims to be humanitarian . does claims to be humanitarian. does he understanding of the he have any understanding of the millions of lives around the that are destroyed because of the scourge of drugs the young people who get caught up and used by drug dealers and actually me sick. these middle class drug users who have no idea of the consequences of their actions because, they think it's cool. they think it's cool to break the law. yes, they're frightened not to because their friends are because all their friends are doing they have to also . doing it. so they have to also. i'm sure you read that several mothers have complained him talking about certain illegal drugs because she said her child tookit drugs because she said her child took it and actually killed him. that was a him and her because he's also encouraging the use of psychedelics to address mental treatment. well, who's he to make . well, he shouldn't be

make. well, he shouldn't be announced. it should have been sacked straight away because can't someone who can can't imagine someone who can understand anything about own problems, hasn't improved. he's got far worse than he did when . got far worse than he did when. he was ten years younger and you can't people just take what you are saying and using it in terribly bad capacity. you have to take some responsibility. he learnt how to be responsible. he's had everything done for him and he's still can't be responsible for his own life, let alone other people. no, indeed. and look , one of the indeed. and look, one of the reasons i'm so opposed to drugs is because when i have seen in my own life who can become under the influence, it a one way path to mental destruction. and i think actually we can look at harry's life, see how things have unravelled over the past couple of years and actually think that maybe all of this drug use has been a part of it but actually he started at 79

and obviously still carrying and is obviously still carrying on.and and is obviously still carrying on. and so that have about exactly i think so i think prince harry which quit the drugs actually maybe he would have a happy life. angela levin, i agree. thank you so much. thank you. we'll speak next week. but coming up, sly news. lockdown party chief kay burley joins the hysterical media feeding frenzy surrounding boris johnson's party gave . doesn't johnson's party gave. doesn't show just how biased the msm really are. my superstar panel. have their say on this and we'll see how the front pages are covering boris witch hunt after ten. but next on a big day for both boris and brexit. former tory minister and whitty joins me to share expert opinion. she's lives straight after the .

break the first newspaper is covering bofis the first newspaper is covering boris johnson's party guide

evidence. coming up in just a moment but first and widdecombe here to react to a monumental day in westminster. so i look i know after this week you're officially no longer a tory again but what do you think of this privileges committee attempt to, i believe, destroy the career of boris johnson at. well, i mean, first of all, it was flawed from the start. so many people on that committee have already expressed opinions . boris, whether he's a liar or not. i in the chamber, including the chair. what's let's just. yeah, including the chairman , yeah, including the chairman, harriet harman. absolutely absolutely. so first of all, i don't think the committee is sufficiently impartial. secondly icannot sufficiently impartial. secondly i cannot get excited . i think i cannot get excited. i think i've said this on this programme before. i cannot get excited about that wretched piece of birthday cake . he was in a room

birthday cake. he was in a room with , people that he'd been with, people that he'd been working with day , and they sat working with day, and they sat down round the table as they had been doing all day and. they got out some birthday cake to celebrate boris's birthday. and interestingly , when i was on the interestingly, when i was on the programme today, one in which viewers could respond, a man actually telephoned in the programme to say, well, celebrated his retirement here in covid in exactly the same way with people that he'd been working with all the time. it's as if boris went on to the highways and byways and asked people to come to the party who might have been bringing in covid, might have been bringing in covm, they might have been bringing in covid, they were people he was with all day. and if they were going to give each other, would they'd already and i do they'd already it. and i do think there's also something at stake here, because why should this committee be able to decide if boris recklessly misled ? that if boris recklessly misled? that is not a legal term that i believe after seeing the hearing

today is going to be possible them to prove. and the issue is that if they do recommend suspension of over ten days and parlour votes that through which they well because remember there's a lot people in the conservative party who want to see boris johnson finished as well including all the allies of sunak, the current prime minister he could a recall petition so there's a point is the queen's suspension is that long and i agree with you entitled i mean this notion you know that he intends really misled parliament or recklessly parliament or whatever it was that he misled parliament. i don't think there's much doubt about the question. what was in his mind at the time. and he called them boris know that and think trying to prove them provable , which is to say the provable, which is to say the intention and his mind is it's just not viable . i think this is just not viable. i think this is a nonsense committee doing, a nonsense job. and i was quite impressed with boris's defence

today as he said these were people he'd been working with up and down the we were being told if you couldn't work from home go to work and if practical or socially distanced, if you couldn't socially distance do something else, etc, etc. loads of people up and down the country will have had a sandwich or something together and thought nothing of it. they would have thought it was a work event. come contrast that with cast sharma, who got away actually a party. he was downing beer. actually a party. he was downing beer . his actually a party. he was downing beer. his campaigning actually a party. he was downing beer. his campaign ing with people he hadn't been working with all day campaigning and then he has a party with beer and curry and goodness knows what else . now that to my mind, what else. now that to my mind, was a much bigger breach than bofis was a much bigger breach than boris with people. what politics, what colleagues, for heaven's sake . and it's been a heaven's sake. and it's been a very dramatic in westminster because course just a few minutes to that privileges committee hearing and the bells

rang out . boris and the rest of rang out. boris and the rest of the committee to vote on the stallman break. now, of course, it was always going to pass this this this big part of sunak's windsor framework , because we windsor framework, because we know that the labour party on side to begin that it looked like the rebellion even though it can made up lots of significant big names in the tory party including former leaders boris himself, liz truss and duncan . it looked like the and duncan. it looked like the rebellion was not actually that big , less than 30. but when you big, less than 30. but when you take abstentions into account as well and the numbers have been crunched here actually government sunak did rely on labour votes to pass through the windsor framework egg. there's another tory civil war going on isn't there , over soft brexit isn't there, over soft brexit and well i, i'm more concerned about the fact that the windsor framework as passed or the stormont brake at any rate is passed. i'm much more me to because that effectively brexit and we've still got eu control

of the united i mean it effectively negates brexit the stormont brake means nothing it's virtually impossible to be appued it's virtually impossible to be applied if it is applied. we have to pay compensation to the eu . i mean the whole thing is eu. i mean the whole thing is beyond belief and for rishi and that's why you left the conservative party or i, you'd never rejoin the conservative party. but that's why you rejoined reform this week ? well, rejoined reform this week? well, i didn't rejoin reforms. i never belong to reform. i belong to the brexit party. yeah, yeah. when the brexit party dissolved , i did not join reform because i've got issues over proportional representation . but proportional representation. but oncei proportional representation. but once i saw that the stormont of the winds , the framework and the the winds, the framework and the nonsense about the stormont, oncei nonsense about the stormont, once i looked at the facts and once i looked at the facts and oncei once i looked at the facts and once i looked at the facts and once i looked at the facts and once i looked at what the eu saying, i knew i'm going to put this bluntly that we've all been lied to. i mean the polite expression is misled over some lied to and that was enough. and

i to join reform because am passionate about the union and i think this threatens union. it threatens northern ireland's place in very powerfully put and what it was back next week. thank you so much but coming up the leader of the european research group, mark francois, here as we go to ask if it's where she's soft brexit is now unravelling in the wake of that rebellion the next after a day of gleeful gloating from the mainstream media over boris appearance in a kangaroo court , appearance in a kangaroo court, have the likes of kay burley , have the likes of kay burley, alastair campbell the alastair campbell expose the truth bias bojo from the truth bias bojo faces from the british by superstar panel? get into this one. we're back in just 2 minutes time.

difficult time. former prime minister boris johnson speaking there. well the current prime minister rishi sunak has seen off a backbench revolt by tory today opposed to his brexit deal with northern 22 conservative rebels, including boris johnson. liz truss voted the so—called stormont break . the key element stormont break. the key element of the windsor framework, aiming to give stormont assembly a greater say on how eu rules appued greater say on how eu rules applied in the province . the applied in the province. the vote was passed with 515 votes to just 29, with labour and other opposition parties backing it . now scotland's first it. now scotland's first minister has issued an apology today to mothers who are forced give up their children for adoption . the 1950s, sixties and adoption. the 1950s, sixties and seventies nicola sturgeon condemned the practise, which is estimated to have fought back, forced 60,000 women to part with their children and babies , their children and babies, mothers who had their babies

taken from them to the sons and daughters who were separated from their parents to the fathers who were denied the rights , and to the families who rights, and to the families who have lived with the legacy for the decades of pain that you have suffered. i offer today my sincere, heartfelt and unreserved apology . we are sorry unreserved apology. we are sorry . the prime minister has his long awaited personal tax returns showing he paid for and £32,000 in tax in the 2020 122 financial year , rishi sunak financial year, rishi sunak published his personal tax documents covering the last four years, and it follows the commitment he first made during his tory leadership campaign last summer . his tory leadership campaign last summer. the prince of wales has made a surprise to poland to thank uk troops involved in the ukraine war. prince william praised the cooperation of british police troops who have been working together to support

the people of ukraine and their freedom . he met with the polish freedom. he met with the polish defence minister as well as soldiers to personally thank them for working together . and them for working together. and one last piece of news. the us federal reserve has tonight raised its interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point. the of england here in the uk due to make its next interest rate decision tomorrow . full rate decision tomorrow. full coverage right here gb news you're up to date tv online derby plus radio and on the tunein app with gb news. back now to dan . now to dan. time for tomorrow's news site now in our media buzz. time for tomorrow's news site now in our media buzz . and the now in our media buzz. and the first front pages are hot off . first front pages are hot off. the press, obviously, they were all going with boris. so let's see. they're covering the metro leeds the grilling claiming the former pm had several bad temper

exchanges with the seven strong panel of mps . they described panel of mps. they described bojo as rattled by their questioning. the guardian also predictably claims , boris's predictably claims, boris's answers were flimsy and that today's hearing leaves his career on the brink. they don't say it's finished, though the. daily start. look, you've got to laugh. you have to laugh at this. and i will have a little giggle if we can have look at giggle if we can have a look at it. they mock boris johnson's in front of privileges committee, comparing illness comparing their illness comparing their illness comparing former pm to tv comparing the former pm to tv character vicky pollard . from character vicky pollard. from this person they also compare him to pinocchio because they claim he blamed everyone but over alleged lockdown policies and the i say is that johnson's political future is in jeopardy following clashes with committee mps claiming that boris lost his cool when questioned by superstar panel . back with me superstar panel. back with me now top daily mail columnist amanda patel, the commentator dominique samuels and political editor of the sun . nigel nelson

editor of the sun. nigel nelson . now, just as i've been predicting for the privileges committee fast proved to be a witch hunt against the last prime minister elected by the people that . doyle did not say people that. doyle did not say at the time that he me about the december the 18th event, that he doubts about whether the guidance was more did have doubts can i just say this sort of sorry. so what wasn't where's your evidence for that ? but of your evidence for that? but of course, it's not just fellow meps wanting to finish off. he was the man got brexit done. so we're off jeremy corbyn and one an 80 seat landslide of majority all while the establishment cheerleaders in the msm got it wrong every single time . and wrong every single time. and believe me, they him for it. they despise him for exposing their misjudgement bias and superb ability to continually prove themselves out of with everyday brits . and that's what everyday brits. and that's what party has all been about. i stitch up and able by rishi

sunak sue gray keir starmer and a gang of establishment globalists who set out to eliminate the man who terrorised and exposed their integrity and even today, even today. so examples of the untrusted the msm being unable to contain their excitement at a tense scene, boris fall on his sword once and for all it is. good morning . so looking forward to morning. so looking forward to this it's beyond thrill. oh, you couldn't possibly have expected the man in charge of the rules. i'm charged with explaining the rules to actually understand the rules. why on earth would he do so? because i work closely with him best. this is box office today that we're up to it. how could it not? could the prime to know what was going on? every office. so he was there. no, not me. he was leave. leaving do you know that's not true? i don't want to talk about this idea. i don't ever want to talk about him again . don't ever want to talk about him again. but don't ever want to talk about him again . but it don't ever want to talk about him again. but it goes don't ever want to talk about him again . but it goes beyond him again. but it goes beyond just that . outright bias,

just that. outright bias, hysterical champagne socialist alastair campbell proved conspiracy theories with this vulgar tweet saying he didn't believe that boris nearly died of covid during the pandemic, which is rich coming from a man whose political spinning duped us into an of iraq that killed millions. so, amanda has most of the same proven today that the hardest when it comes to covering boris because the bias is just so ingrained. are you serious that alastair campbell tweeted that? yes did i happen to know from someone was actually treating him that ? he actually treating him that? he almost died. he has a basically why would you so a woman barbara chalmers sorry balfour chambers tweeted saying does anyone actually believe that johnson nearly died of covid and? alastair campbell responded saying no one. oh but what a creep what i just it's just horrible what's interesting about tomorrow's papers the ones we've seen so far was, of

course, the best from the daily mail. it's to go is that they're almost a repeat of what they said this morning. is almost a repeat of what they said this morning . is greece almost a repeat of what they said this morning. is greece on the brink? there's so angry that he didn't do something. they wanted a knockout blow. they didn't it? yeah, that's exactly what they wanted. they to what they wanted. they want to see humiliated defeated and see him humiliated defeated and for his career to be over and exemplify it in. i had to write this down. crikey this is on lbc tonight . this down. crikey this is on lbc tonight. this this down. crikey this is on lbc tonight . this is max hastings , tonight. this is max hastings, the biographer esteemed conservatives . boris isn't dead conservatives. boris isn't dead yet and he'd only happy when he's buried at a crossroad , dead he's buried at a crossroad, dead with a stake in his heart. he's buried at a crossroad, dead with a stake in his heart . james with a stake in his heart. james o'brien looked like taking like six viagra this morning . he was six viagra this morning. he was just kind of over spectrum. and then every time you saw with the bbc coverage because flipping through it all every time these picture of boris in the corner, it was always a really horrible picture of him. and you could see him looking quite good in the actual response presented today and these horrible

pictures. i mean, that's like gambling, advertising subliminal putting up horrible pictures , putting up horrible pictures, people all the time. absolutely. and tominey. well, what did you think ? our rivals it. think of? our rivals over it. sly news literally salivate at this you know we're so i'm excited about this cable said this is box office for us because in reality they been part of this i found it particular ironic those two women leading the charge given they were both suspended for breaking the covid regulations that they had believed the government needed to pay on. all of us see. this is the difficult thing for me because someone the obviously is in fund of boris of if people i'm already guessed it is pretty frustrating for me and people like me who are really still boris to see the very same people that were championing these rules propagating the fear only to then the rules themselves like beth rigby and kay burley to then be waxing lyrical as if the suddenly the

moral arbiters when it comes to bofis moral arbiters when it comes to boris because in reality they are hypocrites. and this is why there is such little faith in there is such little faith in the mainstream media at the moment either side of the political spectrum , because it political spectrum, because it seems that anything that is pumped out, has a really disingenuous agenda behind it. so am i personally convinced by the likes james o'brien, who blocked me all better in the okay barely know and i think it's quite frankly laughable that they are trying to sort purport they knew what what bofis purport they knew what what boris did was wrong when they broke the rules as well because no else and you do have to admit this has been a media campaign pain they have loved this you've all got together to pound hound day after day after day day partygate and. it was always to get to this , wasn't it? first get to this, wasn't it? first you wanted to have gone as prime minister. they you wanted to finish off his political forever. i do think it's just political . certainly political. it's certainly not just just the media that were doing it. tory mp did it too.

you got to remember. you got to all the various things that happened boris. it wasn't happened with boris. it wasn't just that brought happened with boris. it wasn't just it that brought happened with boris. it wasn't just it was that brought happened with boris. it wasn't just it was the at brought happened with boris. it wasn't just it was the factought happened with boris. it wasn't just it was the fact heiht happened with boris. it wasn't just it was the fact he didn't down. it was the fact he didn't act enough. on chris act quickly enough. on chris pincher the fact he pincher. it was the fact he tried to protect his friend erin patterson and also from tory crimes of century nigel crimes of the century nigel maybe but these these are maybe not, but these these are all adding up. look, boris is a he's a he's great fun. all adding up. look, boris is a he's a he's great fun . he's he's a he's great fun. he's a great speaker. he's a writer, a great speaker. he's a writer, a great campaigner a lousy prime minister. well, he was voted , minister. well, he was voted, though, amanda. that's the reality chris is a great campaigner. and what people are most like the msm most upset about this. there not a knockout blow today and the strategy from barr's supporters is we'll go through to the next election lose rishi resigns. boris comes in and i did prophesies week before that that overstuffed little haggis is going to go and she went the next day. so my stuff. could you be talking about prophecies and not to be disregarded now look from the sublime to the ridiculous winnie the pooh fans in hong kong and

macao may be a fairly niche group , but they'll be very group, but they'll be very disappointed tonight with a new winnie the pooh horror movie being blocked in the chinese special administrative reasons for apparently offending wait for apparently offending wait for it . chinese president xi for it. chinese president xi jinping . so here's what they're jinping. so here's what they're going to be missing, being a first person ever shown this place , too. why am i so special place, too. why am i so special ? because soon will be christopher and everyone . with christopher and everyone. with that. christopher and everyone. with that . okay so why the blanket that. okay so why the blanket ban ? well, it's because china's ban? well, it's because china's president xi has been chasing down any to aa milne's timeless winnie the pooh character since means comparing the two and then ibegan means comparing the two and then i began going viral back in 2013. the xi key comparisons have previously caused the 2018

christopher robin film to be banned across china , and the banned across china, and the president is clearly still desperate to suppress any mention of the fictional character on his watch. i wish i could tell you i was making that up actually true. and my goodness on, a serious note i feel for the folk in. hong kong, you know, used to one of a country like us, you know, a british territory . now they british territory. now they can't even go and see winnie the pooh. it couldn't make it up. amanda peters out . samuels nigel amanda peters out. samuels nigel what else seduced by because coming up with big beast brexiteers boris and priti patel joining the rebellion against the windsor framework. is it time to admit rishi sunak cannot be trusted with brexit my superstore panel are going to wade into that battle very soon, but next i'm joined in the studio by mark francois, the leader of the aforementioned european research research group , who bravely led that revolt against framework. he's going to

explain why she's soft. brexit plan is a bad move for parliament and. the people live with me in the studio straight after the .

break welcome back now, rishi sunak's hopes of pushing through a soft brexit could come at the cost of party unity after he faced a

significant backbench rebellion . his windsor framework bill the 22 true brexit peers who voted against his much maligned changes to the northern protocol were led by tory heavyweights, including boris johnson , liz including boris johnson, liz truss, jacob rees—mogg , priti truss, jacob rees—mogg, priti patel and duncan smith, john redwood and andrea jenkins and iag number crunching has revealed that the pm's northern ireland deal would have actually failed without the support of the ramona opposition because of 48 conservative abstention that wiped out sunak's parliamentary . meanwhile former chair of the iag, steve was kicked out of their whatsapp group for criticising boris over his opposition and as the tory party descended open civil war. watch days measures are better, of course, than the protocol boris johnson put in place. approach to cope, which he spoke about . to cope, which he spoke about. and those things he said turned out not to be accurate. so, you know, he's got a choice. he can

be remembered for the great of statecraft that he achieved, or he can risk looking like a pound shop. nigel i hope he chooses to be remembered as a statesman . be remembered as a statesman. mark francois . very big day. mark francois. very big day. lots to pick up on. but can you respond first to those comments from steve baker? well, look steve is an old friend of mine , steve is an old friend of mine, so i'm not going to get into any kind of personal spat with steve. that seemed quite personal that i didn't. well as i say, i'm not going to get into rallies to you all. i will is that whatever you think of boris johnson, i don't . he's ever been johnson, i don't. he's ever been a pound shop. anything but but stephen is a friend of mine who made the decision to boot him from the whatsapp group. was that someone else? that you or someone else? actually no, i actually not, no. no, i think i think there was there was bit think there was there was a bit of up over the admin of of a mix up over the admin of some of these whatsapp groups. of course, i didn't. some of these whatsapp groups. of course, i didn't . so farage of course, i didn't. so farage said earlier on on his gb news that when it comes to steve, a ministerial has seen him throw

away his brexiteer morals. is that unfair? no i'm sorry. i think that is unfair. look, nigel farage is entitled to his opinion as anyone else. i've always gotten fairly well with nigel when we've disagreed . let nigel when we've disagreed. let me be clear, steve is one of my oldest friends in politics. he and i work very closely together in opposing theresa may's ill fated withdrawal . steve is still fated withdrawal. steve is still a friend of mine. after today we just happened to be in two different lobbies. but that can happenin different lobbies. but that can happen in politics. so let's talk about the rebellion, because it actually is much larger than . what it seemed at larger than. what it seemed at first glance, robert . yes. so first glance, robert. yes. so i'm a former senior whip and there's an old thing which is at there's an old thing which is at the end of the day go through the end of the day go through the division. this because often the division. this because often the division. this because often the division listens , when you the division listens, when you analyse and tell a story. so what happened today ? the what happened today? the government won, but they were always to win. that was hardly a

surprise because the labour party well , keir starmer party had well, keir starmer offered to back it before he even what was. so that even knew what it was. so that tells quite a about, you tells you quite a lot about, you know, a remainer know, keir starmer, a remainer and always in my view. so 22 conservative meps voted today and i can come on to explain why the moment 48 other tory mps so 70 conservative members of parliament didn't the yes on the stormont brake in the division lobbies. that's a pretty big number isaac levido who is of course not someone that the pubuc course not someone that the public know, but a big, big wig when it comes to electoral strategy. absolutely recently said that the only that the conservative party can win the next is if there's unity . now, next is if there's unity. now, even though i completely agree this rebellion, i think the people who rebelled are the honourable brexiteers. that's my personal minion. you cannot . not personal minion. you cannot. not that this has sparked a new civil war in your party. look at who rebelled i mean. you've got three former leaders ideas . liz

three former leaders ideas. liz truss and, boris johnson. this is a new brexit civil war. is it 7 is a new brexit civil war. is it ? no, no. forgive me. dan i think civil wars a bit strong. what happened today was there was a vote in the house commons on the statutory instruments about whether or to not stormont brake and 70 tory mps didn't vote for that compared to some of the events the last few years. that is not civil war. that's not even a skirmish . but that's not even a skirmish. but why i think it is , is why didn't why i think it is, is why didn't those mp the break we're always limited for time in tv interviews but very quickly the problem with the break is it was it was billed to us many others as a veto it was oversold it completely was why very soon that well look very quickly . it that well look very quickly. it was wasn't it? well, it was sunak sold it and he oversold it. well i some of the people around him were mainly responsible for overselling to use of phrase. i think the king

was badly advised . a couple of was badly advised. a couple of let's have a look at what he's said tonight about the vote and i'll get you to respond sure it was incredibly strong support for the windsor framework not just from my own party but across parliament. it polls very solidly with conservative votes. and that's because it a good dealis and that's because it a good deal is a good deal for the people for families , businesses people for families, businesses in northern ireland. the windsor framework restores the balance of the belfast good friday agreement. it's northern ireland's in our union. it ireland's place in our union. it restores sovereignty for and all those reasons. i'm pleased that it commanded strong support it commanded such strong support . it's about let's be very about where sunak when it comes to the erg he says you're irrelevant now his people are briefing into the newspapers over the weekend that the erg doesn't matter that he doesn't give a that you're not backing this bill because he's going to force it through with the moderates in his party tonight. he makes it pretty clear that he isn't worried about the rebellion . so i don't about the rebellion. so i don't want to sound like i'm splitting

hairs. it's not a bill was a statutory instrument . the statutory instrument. the government could have gone for a bill, a windsor framework bill. yeah, it to bring these things in by minister. but the in by prime minister. but the stormont indicative of stormont brake is indicative of who would have voted for or against. well well they chosen to do it via a variety of statutory instruments. one thing that your viewers might like to know is today was the first one that to a dozen. so that could be up to a dozen. so we could going through this we could be going through this on multiple occasions. but do you feel about what his people are about the erg ? you're are saying about the erg? you're irrelevant. he says. now, i don't believe that for a single second. i think that you have a great heritage and without the erg wouldn't have the brexit erg we wouldn't have the brexit that today. but sunak that we have today. but sunak and his people think you no longer , that you're longer matter, that you're on the fringes the conservative the fringes of the conservative party. point one i haven't heard the minister say that i've the prime minister say that i've been politics long enough to been in politics long enough to see are briefing on see how people are briefing on behalf x. but you must read behalf of x. but you must read the stories of weekend. you the stories of the weekend. you yes, reading. yes, well, i've been reading. i've been we'd being told we were irrelevant for years if we're irrelevant, am

we're that irrelevant, what am i doing your show now. doing on your show now. well, i don't think you were relevant. well, you much. and well, thank you very much. and hopefully your viewers don't either clearly either. and clearly boris johnson truss don't talk johnson and liz truss don't talk and ideas or jake jacob and no ideas orjake jacob rees—mogg andrea jenkins or rees—mogg or andrea jenkins or all other people or john all these other people or john redwood are all peter bone and all these other people that you these other people, energy these other people, the energy fights on. i think the energy will continue in a sense. let me put it like this our job is to hold the government's feet to the fire on europe related issues. if you like our job is issues. if you like ourjob is to keep them honest now, they might see it slightly differently from that. but what happened today was 70 conservative mps did not support . they saw it for the storm. a break i could go through all the days of the erg . greatly days of the erg. greatly exaggerated i think. i think i think that's probably fair to say. i just want to very quickly show you a little bit of boris at the privileges committee today. have look at this genuinely did not know what the outcome would and was deeply

outcome would be and was deeply shocked when fines were issued , shocked when fines were issued, not least since i have been told on a couple of occasions at least by sue gray that she did not think the threshold of criminality had been reached . criminality had been reached. now, francois, for a long time you were a real ally of boris johnson . turned on him right johnson. turned on him right near the end of his premiership. how did you feel about performance today? well, i'm not being coy. i didn't see it because i was rather up to my neck in all of the stuff. is this a witch hunt, a privileges committee, witch hunt against the prime minister? no, i wouldn't use phrase. but wouldn't use that phrase. but you boris gave i didn't you know, boris gave i didn't see but reports that see it. but the reports that i've is that he a fairly i've heard is that he a fairly feisty defence which is completely characteristic him as a man so you think he deserves to be suspended from parliament. well hang on we don't what the privileges committee i think we should start you jumping the gun there we don't know what the privileges committee would do you think in case, do you you think in that case, do you think probably or recklessly

think he probably or recklessly misled think misled the house? i don't think that he recklessly misled the house of commons. i'm not sitting on the privileges . so sitting on the privileges. so forgive me, dan, but there is a process so you want to see the process so you want to see the process play? well, i wanted to see the process out. i want see the process play out. i want to see what the committee conclude. i want to see what they a sanction they recommended a sanction is, if . we'll have to if any. then we'll all have to decide whether or not vote decide whether or not to vote no. but think it would be no. but i think it would be jumping the too to pronounce on that until the committee you've had to finish their had a chance to finish their work. francois, chairman , work. mark francois, chairman, the you much. great the ig, thank you so much. great to here tonight. thank to have you here tonight. thank you thank but coming you very. thank you. but coming up on the day that up in cancelled on the day that we just boris facing in we just saw boris facing in westminster's court and westminster's kangaroo court and of the day he voted of course, the day he voted against sunak's divisive against rishi sunak's divisive winter . i'm against rishi sunak's divisive winter. i'm joined by one of bojo, his oldest friends and faces lockdown chris the social commentator young for commentator toby young for surprise verdict in the media box with several tory heavyweights joining the rebellion that framework today could this mark the beginning of the end of fisheries. xi's anti—democratic premiership .

anti—democratic premiership. wow. tonight, superstar paddle. i'm to thrash that one out straight after the short right .

let's to tomorrow's newsnight now in our media abouts more front pages in and the daily telegraph leads with boris dismissing partygate allegation as complete nonsense and hints that he could refuse to accept the inquiry's verdict if he finds if it finds he misled and he's so they say johnson was besieged but defiant . the daily besieged but defiant. the daily express pleads with boris hand on heart pledge that he did not lie to the commons whilst accepting full responsibility for what took place on his watch . pm differed front story for the sun though they've actually gone with will's the freedom fighter as .

gone with will's the freedom fighter as. the gone with will's the freedom fighter as . the prince of wales fighter as. the prince of wales today went on a secret personal mission to british troops in poland , close to the ukraine poland, close to the ukraine border . i poland, close to the ukraine border. i look, i've got poland, close to the ukraine border . i look, i've got to poland, close to the ukraine border. i look, i've got to show you this one myself, because it's just come in the daily and that's how old amanda plater on the front page there alongside bofis the front page there alongside boris johnson and harriet harman . and amanda, you have saved on a blind date with a man who raised guardian. was that horrible ? how many mugs did win? horrible? how many mugs did win? that was the only thing i knew about him was that he was age appropriate and read the guardian age appropriate . what guardian age appropriate. what does that mean? in his twenties, nobody knew knew . and tell us nobody knew knew. and tell us here tonight alongside dominic saville's and nigel dodds. i'm just joking for amanda. she's happy with blokes near thursdays now recently practically useless wins the framework successfully passed the first stage of voting today but after needing a leg from labour revolt mps, the

unelected pm's authority has been dealt a severe blow. a 22 strong tory rebellion, including former party leaders boris johnson, liz and iain duncan smith will pay to sunak's efforts to unite conservative meps behind his deal and the fact he needed opposition help to pass. it has done nothing to quell that. he's made his party from labour even on issues as as brexit, a point emphatically made by former tory minister and my brilliant colleague jacob rees—mogg, the government will win the vote comfortably because the labour party is on the side . and that's very interesting . . and that's very interesting. labour has always been weak on brexit, has never wanted a proper brexit. keir starmer always wanted a second referendum. doom did everything he could to stop it. so once you see, the labour party supporting it, wonder if it's it, you have to wonder if it's as as cracked up to as good as it's cracked up to be. and it's double trouble for sunak after britain's brexit delivering back the delivering pm burst back the spotlight and onto the political comeback trail today i was the

prime minister , the uk. i trying prime minister, the uk. i trying to run the country during a pandemic. i could not drop what i was doing, get up and go institute a personal investigation into what sounded like a daily mirror trial about an event that was now almost a year old. i still believe was the daily mirror trial. that's genuinely how i feel about partygate. what would say it was a very good day to bury bad news and fishy rishi certainly thought so because on top of all of this the pm tactically chosen today to deliver on his failed leadership campaigns promise to pubush leadership campaigns promise to publish his uk tax affairs. his records prove what we already knew the bloke's stinking rich more than £1 million in tax on earnings of £4.7 million over the past three years. nothing wrong with that in my mind, but very odd day to release the news nonetheless. so with facing a tory rebellion over his in effective brexit deal and boris boasting back onto the spotlight , some people are actually saying today could be beginning

of a boris johnson comeback . of a boris johnson comeback. well, you and i both like that, but you know, he's been left intact. but you know, he's been left intact . you know, he's survived intact. you know, he's survived today's grilling . he is left to today's grilling. he is left to fight another day. we have to wait to see what happens with his whether you get suspended, anything, because this story about significant, about him was significant, though, you look at though, wasn't when you look at the were about it's not the names were about it's not the names were about it's not the numbers it's the fact that it's pretty brutal. ideas it's pretty brutal. it's ideas truss johnson that big truss it's johnson and that big they're that rishi so they're all people that rishi so basically you've got not just a bofis basically you've got not just a boris but you've got to revenge and you know rishi is going to be i mean his polls got slightly better i mean i think it's now about below in the best poll depending on which polls which polls you look at but this is a really big defeat for him because it was only few weeks ago and everyone was saying, oh god, rishi the magician is an intellectual. he found solution to northern ireland like hell he did. they still controlled eu borders eu laws. it doesn't

borders by eu laws. it doesn't matter how. you finesse it and how you sneak rules in like that. he's never a brexiteer. and that's one of the reasons that people want to give him for it. nigel, he over sold the windsor framework, didn't ? well, windsor framework, didn't? well, he oversold it . and the whole he oversold it. and the whole point about it it's a fudge but it's but a slightly more tasty than the protocol boris johnson came up with. yeah so boris's point was obviously always that it would be able to be renegotiated from position of strength. well, i mean the eu said no and in fact , in fairness said no and in fact, in fairness to rishi sunak, he was able to get in negotiations. so now medicines sausages can move, medicines and sausages can move, can move from from mainland britain to northern ireland, which they couldn't before . they which they couldn't before. they have the same vat rate, which they didn't have before . yep. they didn't have before. yep. see, amanda's , they're still see, amanda's, they're still controlled by eu rules . i don't controlled by eu rules. i don't like it at all. i don't it all. but dominic is your that actually this is time to just put the brexit debate to rest

now. yeah. i think we have to like sprinkle a bit of reality here because boris is and i, protocol was a failure and even what he said it was going to be. even liz truss when she was foreign secretary, acknowledged it wasn't in keeping with the good agreement and needed to be negotiated. that's why during her short as prime her short tenure as prime minister , she faced the same minister, she faced the same issues in northern ireland. unionists overwhelming support the windsor framework . that's the windsor framework. that's just not those that against it. three times more people are for it than against it. i'm starting to get concerned now that there are certain people that i are a career politicians utilising brexit to this thing out when there are far more important things actually going we've got our borders being . we were told our borders being. we were told that brexit be the answer to all of our problems regards to immigration that's not happening the cost of living if we had the point is gone there are bigger issues to be focusing on and the

facts are. this wasn't, you know , you would have voted for the dail today . i , you would have voted for the dail today. i would because i think it's an answer an issue think it's an answer to an issue that's being dragged dragged out. the storm break, out. you know, the storm break, it provides a solution, a solution that boris johnson couldn't muster. and 280 conservative mp voted it. it wasn't this massive think back to theresa may, 2019. the backstop that was the biggest rebellion of that political era . i mean, it's just incomparable dominic symbolism and present nigel nelson do stand by but look it's actually been really emotional day here at gb news after we learned the retirement of our superb colleague, the legendary journalist and broadcaster alistair after being thrown under the bus by itv's woke mob after a historic half a century run , including century run, including presenting britain's first ever leadership debate while at itn, alistairjoined leadership debate while at itn, alistair joined tv news before our two years ago, he hosted

alistair stewart and i will be with you for the next 3 hours joining me old friends and but mostly i hope you. 25 minutes to seven and buckingham palace has indeed confirmed in the last few that her majesty queen elizabeth ii has died . and that's news at ii has died. and that's news at ten from carol. and for me , a ten from carol. and for me, a very good night to you at the of an historic moment in television and political history . a very and political history. a very good night to you. until then , a good night to you. until then, a very good afternoon to you. and indeed. have a lovely week. but for now , alistair stewart over for now, alistair stewart over you go down as britain's longest serving newsreader and a legend of this business thank for being a friend to me and to so many young colleagues here gb news young colleagues here gb news you poured heart and soul into the launch of this channel. it was really tough here a couple of years ago and we couldn't have done any of this without you. we're going to miss you

very, very much . now, coming up very, very much. now, coming up after rotten diving groove , after rotten diving groove, westminster's shameless kangaroo court , boris johnson's luck may court, boris johnson's luck may about to turn as i crown. tonight's greatest person and duty in jackass. but next in i'm cancelled founder and director of the free speech union and. close friend of boris toby young joins me to back bojo bash wishes boss will brexit probe the latest on vaccine payouts? you don't want to miss this toby's right after the .

break thank you for. staying up with us, gracious person. you did, jackass all the way but time first foreign cancelled and this is way person's top commentators speak out on controversial without the fear of the cancel culture. the rest of the media now boris johnson's allies told the media this week that the

party great privileges was a kangaroo court that won't decide his fate fairly . johnson refused his fate fairly. johnson refused to say whether he with those comments when pressed by the panel today has been a concerted effort to de—legitimize the committee to call as a kangaroo court. have you character rise this as a kangaroo court, as a parliamentarian ? do you regret parliamentarian? do you regret that colleagues of ours who are also parliamentarians , have also parliamentarians, have called the privileges committee a kangaroo court ? there should a kangaroo court? there should be no attempt to bully any colleague in any matter , colleague in any matter, whatever. yes or no? you risk that, you regret, you regret that? sorry. i'm not because i regret it, but i think people will judge for themselves on the bafis will judge for themselves on the basis of the evidence that you produced . the fairness of this produced. the fairness of this committee, absolute . if you find committee, absolute. if you find him guilty, you a kangaroo court. i look one man who knows bofis court. i look one man who knows boris better than most is his old friend turned fierce critic toby young. he went to oxford

with , the former pm free speech with, the former pm free speech champion. toby was a loyal boris backer until he left the country into crippling lockdowns during covid clash horns with his pal is one of the stronger opponents of pandemic of draconian pandemic restrictions . so toby is the restrictions. so toby is the great iowa guinea of this partygate farce . the fact that partygate farce. the fact that it proves boris's lockdown were actually a complete joke in the first place. you yes, he wouldn't be in pickle if he hadnt wouldn't be in pickle if he hadn't imposed these absolutely absurd rules in the first place in which he himself, as did many people, including me , found it people, including me, found it very difficult to stick to and. one of the frustrating things about all the hoopla today surrounding this privileges committee show trial is that it's so trivial they're preoccupied with these trivial details of exactly what boris knew and when who said what to whom and when did they say it? when really should be debating

whether it was the right decision to in the first place and all mistakes that were made following that decision. i think it was the most disastrous policy possibly ever. certainly the post—war period, certainly in modern history. and it shouldn't absolutely. and they shouldn't absolutely. and they should they should be better than so when it comes to the actual privileges committee , do actual privileges committee, do you think that they at all got a smoke garden in? their evidence today that would mean boris johnson potentially be suspended parliament and then face a recall petition . is there recall petition. is there anything close to evidence that he recklessly misled parliament as they seem to want to claim ? as they seem to want to claim? no if they had a smoking gun , i no if they had a smoking gun, i think they would have produced it by they would have produced it by they would have produced it this afternoon there was no killer delivered . he wasn't

killer delivered. he wasn't knocked out. he defended himself robustly. he came out fighting and but i think that the outcome of this trial has been predetermined. dan i'm sure think the same thing the chairman of the committee is harman, a long standing enemy of boris's. the investigation was conducted by sue gray is now keir starmer's chief staff and she won't say when she and keir starmer began talking about that it could have during the actual investigation into partygate. i think that the way it's going to pan out is , they're going to pan out is, they're going to decide, well, there's no smoking . that boris . we can't prove that boris intentionally misled . i think intentionally misled. i think they'll give him the benefit of they'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that question. but will find him guilty. i think of being reckless and they'll him guilty of being reckless because he didn't correct himself. he didn't come back and clarify his statement when he supposed love that. exactly had i agree with you, the establishment on this is it. but look, toby, there's

another really story today. i do want to get to it, actually, because it's been completely given the other news. but given all of the other news. but it's a very important issue to us here at news, given that we have been for the victims of the vax for very, very long time against pushback , as we know. against pushback, as we know. but in a question and pmqs today by sir jeremy. but in a question and pmqs today by sirjeremy. right but in a question and pmqs today by sir jeremy. right about the vaccine damage payment scheme , vaccine damage payment scheme, sunak finally admitted finally admitted on the record in the house of commons that is a big issue with the scheme . watch issue with the scheme. watch this. i constitue jeremy scott spent four weeks in a coma and remains disabled as a result of . a covid vaccination. the current on compensation is £120,000, even for very serious and lifelong . and anyone who and lifelong. and anyone who disabled by less than 60% gets nothing at all that cannot be right will my right i'm friend look urgently changing it. we are taking to reform vaccine damage scheme by modernising the

operations and providing more timely outcomes. but of course i'll be happy to talk to the honourable gentleman further about this. i mean, toby, people should have been speaking about this the media months or even years ago, but this felt a very significant moment to me today. the vaccine finally being taken seriously in the houses of commons . absolutely. i think commons. absolutely. i think really significant moment i mean, and particularly following the attempt last by andrew bridgen to talk the chamber about vaccine injuries and the chamber empty , they got very chamber empty, they got very little cash in the mail for the media. he was completely ignored he blanked. it was as though he hadnt he blanked. it was as though he hadn't been speaking at all. so i think it's fantastic that. rishi sunak has now acknowledged that vaccine harms is a significant issue. it is something we should be debating. the compensation shouldn't the vaccine injured are receiving is nothing like good enough . one nothing like good enough. one thing that rishi said in the

course of this exchange that there's nothing to prevent . there's nothing to prevent. jeremy writes constituent from bringing a case against in his case, astrazeneca . but actually case, astrazeneca. but actually in 2020, the government indemnified the big pharma companies producing , them or any companies producing, them or any vaccines from being sued. i mean you still can do but your chances of succeeding because the indemnification granted by the indemnification granted by the are extremely the government so government really does have to stop paying people people like jeremy constituents much more significant damages for the harms they've suffered from from taking the vaccine indeed and that we have been on the story for many many months now many years now we'll stay on it but i did want to mention it with you tonight , did want to mention it with you tonight, toby. yeah so great to have you here. thank you so much. we'll speak very soon, but it's much. we'll speak very soon, but wsfime much. we'll speak very soon, but it's time about today's it's time to talk about today's greatest person in union jack jackass jackass and my superstar power return. amanda patel, your nominee for greatest britain it has to be boris for seeing off

harriet harper soon and her kangaroo court as skippy would kind of go that's when something's really well let's give you this kangaroo dominique savills mine is bridgen mp which is really apt based on what you've just discussed. but i want to thank him for speaking up for the vaccine injured in parliament the political establishment many in the conservative party actually ignonng conservative party actually ignoring we have not ignoring that issue. we have not to youtube to mention big because youtube of initially , censored of course initially, censored his they it down his speech. they it down altogether. it was only the outcry over it that actually saw them reinstated on their platform nigel nelson. you know , please. yeah. my greatest is harriet, who kept her cool today as she had bile poured all over her. well, look, today's greatest person is obviously bofis greatest person is obviously boris johnson. he's dealing with a very serious westminster hunt. and they didn't a serious blow today. and i think his political comeback remains possible . judy, comeback remains possible. judy, in jackass time to tell you what

i mean. it's got to be that snake. dominic cummings is the slithered out from under a rock again today , hurling a piece at again today, hurling a piece at his old boss, boris. i suggest he takes a one way trip to barnum castle . he's already done barnum castle. he's already done that. barnum castle. he's already done that . an executive. what's your that. an executive. what's your nominee? please well, mine is actually going to have to be the conservator party as a whole, because this country is falling apart , and we're focusing on apart, and we're focusing on things that i believe don't things that i believe just don't matter . and things that i believe just don't matter. and it's time to wake up really and smell the coffee. and nigel and alison, you eliminate it. squirming. borisjohnson , it. squirming. boris johnson, for not admitting that misleading parliament if not deliberately , it might have been deliberately, it might have been reckless , but he wasn't reckless reckless, but he wasn't reckless in any . and he's proven that in any. and he's proven that today. in any. and he's proven that today . he's proven it, but he today. he's proven it, but he certainly it. he hasn't admitted anything. if he admitted recklessness, he might well have upset amanda. now, amanda , you upset amanda. now, amanda, you haven't just swallowed the you haven't just swallowed the you haven't swallowed a fly have you? do you do you know paul, christine hamilton who was in

that seat last night, swallowed a fly live on air. i was so upset by. what nigel said his me upset by. what nigel said his me up over the heads of tv. i've cried on tv tv. well, look, you are obviously in direct. amanda chooses boris as a crisis person. nigel him as his union jackass. but i have to say, it's the double wedding for amanda's tonight. i think someone like cummings is the jackass because he's rewriting history and boris made very clear today his evidence should not be taken seriously. he is a man with huge animus and motivation to destroy the career of boris johnson . and the career of boris johnson. and in many cases, he's the only who has these imaginary conversations that back the negative narrative about boris. but amanda patel, glad you've recovered my joy mouse. don't think . oh, recovered my joy mouse. don't think. oh, thank you to you and nigel and thank you so much to

thank you for your company and what has been a seismic in westminster. we'll be back tomorrow from 9 pm. covering all of the rest of the repercussions from boris witch hunt. next up , though, headline hunt. next up, though, headline is with its arrival to take on tomorrow's newspaper pages. night .
