data, because it's not simply not true that all these people come from albania . this is come from albania. this is theoretically impossible. arithmetically impossible. and factually not true. they are albanians that come also from other countries , mainly greece . other countries, mainly greece. well, here, the northern ireland secretary has told stormont leaders there's no negotiating. the windsor framework and it will become law. chris heaton—harris has been holding talks over the prime minister's post—brexit trade deal at hillsborough castle . that's hillsborough castle. that's after a key element of the eu uk agreement known as the stormont brake was overwhelmingly passed in the house of commons yesterday. dup leader sir jeffrey donaldson described the windsor framework as a sticking plaster that won't work , but plaster that won't work, but which the northern ireland secretary disputed. parliament has banned the chinese owned

social media app tiktok from all government devices. it follows security concerns from the house of commons and lords, but won't include personal devices. scotland has followed suit with its deputy first minister, saying the ban will be implemented immediately. it comes as tiktok's chief executive has faced questions in the us congress over data security and user safety . the security and user safety. the labour leader has released the amount of tax he's paid on his income and capital gains in the last two years. so keir starmer says he's paid £118,580 in tax since the start of 2021. that's after the prime minister published his tax documents yesterday, which showed he paid more than £1,000,000 in tax over the last three years . and the last three years. and lastly, the bank of england today raised the interest rate for the 11th time in a row from 4.8 percentage points to , 4.85.

4.8 percentage points to, 4.85. that's in a bid to slow down the rising cost of living. the central bank's also announced it expects the economy to grow slightly in the second quarter, revising a previous forecast that it would contract . on tv, that it would contract. on tv, onune that it would contract. on tv, online dab plus radio and on the tunein app here with gb news, the people's channel. let's go live now to newcastle . for far live now to newcastle. for far right . right. while we're in the north—east of england. where else could we be with a reception like this .7 i've with a reception like this? i've always said it . with a reception like this? i've always said it. this is with a reception like this? i've always said it . this is , without always said it. this is, without doubt, the friendliest part of england. it always has been. and i believe that it always will be. but it's a part of england that ever since the end of the first world war has been pretty rock solid labour. labour

through generations . and i think through generations. and i think the labour party began to take the labour party began to take the north—east for granted . you the north—east for granted. you know, they put a miliband in south shields, somebody with absolute no connection to the area at all. mr. blair , of area at all. mr. blair, of course, was the mp for sedgefield for many, many years and really, i mean top of the popsin and really, i mean top of the pops in terms of labour taking the mickey was peter mandelson was put into hartlepool. i mean you couldn't make it up . and you couldn't make it up. and actually, i think the people in north—east began to feel they were being taken for granted. they began to feel that the attitudes and views of those in london were very to their own. no more so , of course, that when no more so, of course, that when it came to the brexit vote, where labour found themselves hopelessly adrift any of hopelessly adrift from any of their voters , as a result of their voters, as a result of that and the 2019 general election, boris johnson , who was election, boris johnson, who was then very popular but not quite so much these days, i don't think . but so much these days, i don't think. but suddenly we finish up in the north east with labour having 18 seats for the

conservative is having 11. there's going to be general election next year. can the conservatives hold onto seats or all the pollsters right in thinking nearly all of them could swing back to a labour party? well none of us know the answers to that. but one man who is a proper northeaster grew up in comms. it was a young liberal, and so he had his damascene conversion and became a brexiteer. is darren grimes, who is now also, of course , a who is now also, of course, a presenter on gb news. you make that commute down to london to do it and you've got a new show starting with this and a couple weeks time. well, this saturday, actually at 8:00, it's going to be called the saturday five. and we're discuss the we're going to discuss the craziest week as craziest stories of the week as a left and right and a panel left and right and debate the issues of the day. nigel so i cannot wait to get stuck in. well, good luck with that. i have to say, if you want crazy stories, all you need is the truth. it really is a very difficult i mean, today we had keir starmer saying he's going

to violent crime against to have violent crime against women and all these women and girls and all these amazing this the same amazing things. this the same keir starmer who signed a letter to stop 50 jamaican criminals from being deported, seven of whom re—offended. i mean, darren, i think that confidence in both of the parties has really sunk over the course of the last few years. but you're a north—east lad. a lot of these constituencies, i mean, take bishop auckland in county durham seats that conservatives had seats that the conservatives had never before. are they going never won before. are they going to lose them all? you know , it's to lose them all? you know, it's interesting because nigel, i actually put you as the of how i knew that seats in the north—east were going to change because when all of my family really started to vote ukip. right. and they started to say, look, ukip's for me. it's the first time that a tribally labour family and it's not just isolated to the family. i'm sure there are many labour former labour voters or current here today and then suddenly, you know , people start asking know, people start asking questions, why am i being tax so highly to only be given it back

in, in benefits and all the rest of it. when actually reform in the system to say you keep more of your own money people thought well i quite like those ideas. actually, if not getting it back from the state and actually keeping more of my money. i mean, you know, i was the gateway drug. you were going to sue people left labour and they found it quite easy on that bafis found it quite easy on that basis to vote for boris. i mean, i know what's going to i don't know what's going to happen, see a lot of happen, but i see a lot of issues here that really interests me. if you look at the newspapers the ulez extension, mac extension, hugh mac hons, ulez extension, hugh page coverage of the newspapers, what ever talks about is what nobody ever talks about is the fact that charging the fact that these charging schemes, congest urban schemes, these congest urban zones, happening here in zones, is happening here in newcastle , gateshead too, newcastle, in gateshead too, isn't absolutely i mean, isn't it? absolutely i mean, i've from people saying i've heard from people saying i'm about the i'm really worried about the fact that newcastle going to fact that newcastle is going to be decimated by these charges where drivers just say, i cannot afford to come to newcastle. so people start going to the metrocentre other places, which is a big shopping centre and i think going to have real

think that's going to have real consequences in people's pockets. now these people on rates right if you're driving a taxi , a heavy goods vehicle or taxi, a heavy goods vehicle or you're not delivering absolutely whatever might be and they're talking about expansion of these schemes because . nigel you know schemes because. nigel you know as well auntie wants as well as auntie wants a council starts to realise it can make money from pension from people's they don't stop doing right now they like to expand it to get as much as they can. that would be ruinous for the north east at a time when we see and invest and come through, the north—east is doing alright as far as investing is concerned. so levelling up , this phrase, so levelling up, this phrase, levelling up that michael gove and boris use been struggling to work out what levelling up actually means. a bit of audience reaction. how many people here know what levelling up actually means ? good it's not up actually means? good it's not just me that these bizarre sort of academic phrases . but you're of academic phrases. but you're saying money is coming into the north. it yeah yeah. and that what government or private

money. well it's actually it's taxpayer ultimately. yes taxpayer money ultimately. yes and i think liz truss actually had the right idea, nigel, where she was proposed, actually there would investment zones where would be investment zones where private would come in private money would come in because going to because that's what's going to create for people in this region . and people cry out, you know, i've got to protest. one of them works a factory, one of them works in a factory, one of them works in a factory, one of them works retail in the works in retail in the north—east. they cry and i fall apart . i get north—east. they cry and i fall apart. i get paid jobs and opportunities . so you hear that opportunities. so you hear that at nauseam up here in the. so we really need to unleash the private sector. i think the truth it is that the north—east is still a bit ignored by london. oh, absolutely. you've just hit the nail on the head there when you said that the clean air zones that are taking in here aren't discussed westminster whatsoever because what happens to the north—east doesn't matter ultimately , doesn't matter ultimately, because the politicians don't spend their time in the north. a few months ago i was in sunderland now whether i'm allowed to say that here, i'm not sure . oh, oh that's. but it

not sure. oh, oh that's. but it was really interesting just talking to folk. they were so angry that the social housing waiting was as long as it was their and grandkids can't get homes can't get on the ladder in any way at all. and yet they were saying sunderland you know lots and lots of migrant hotels , young on the channel, it's , young men on the channel, it's the newcastle isn't the same here in newcastle isn't it? absolutely. and it? it is, absolutely. and durham, i mean county durham is built open a new detention built in open in a new detention centre for migrants actually centre for migrants to actually hold there are hold migrants. i mean there are countless numbers, you know, you walk around newcastle and see the , frankly, on the homelessness, frankly, on the homelessness, frankly, on the streets of newcastle and you think, what i would do in our people appear , as opposed to people appear, as opposed to those who are illegally and or in britain, i think it's a disgrace , to be honest with you, disgrace, to be honest with you, nigel. and i'm pretty certain that most of the people in the north—east of england hold that view. hard work and people that go out and have to spend so much of their cash in taxes just of their own cash in taxes just to fund hotels . but the ones

to fund hotels. but the ones that come here illegally , it's that come here illegally, it's not . only don't run for a that come here illegally, it's not. only don't run for a final, cold, heartless soul . in 2004, cold, heartless soul. in 2004, there was a referendum in the north—east as to whether to have a north—east assembly, a north—east parliament effectively and, the people of the north—east said to the people in london, well, i won't actually say they said, but i know what the message was. yet now the conservatives are going to bring in a super map for the whole of the north—east. none of these been asked these people have been asked about yeah, i agree with about that. yeah, i agree with that. but 4 billion quid in extra taxpayer cash for the region actually region to actually a connectivity, for example , you connectivity, for example, you come from my part of county durham and try to get into newcastle. if you don't drive. nigel well , you're up a creek nigel well, you're up a creek without a paddle . that's without a paddle. that's all i can say. i tell you what, the north—east will get its man. we need the money for anything. whether it's billion. whether it gets it's billion. you i'll talk you say. in a moment, i'll talk to voice . god, who to the voice. god, who introduces me at of these introduces me at all of these events. to super mac.

events. i'll talk to super mac. all of that after the .

break you know . now we'll be covering you know. now we'll be covering these events . i'm always , you these events. i'm always, you know, good evening. it's thursday night. we're in bognor regis or wherever we are and the voice of god , the one and only voice of god, the one and only carl albert . carl, i've heard carl albert. carl, i've heard your voice i've thought about 30 of these shows around the country. yeah. we've not met before , you know you've been before, you know you've been living here all your adult life. yep and yet you're pronounced the asian . doesn't sound very the asian. doesn't sound very geordie to me. what's well. well, i'll be honest really. nigel, the thing is because i so many voice overs my has to be quite neutral but give me a few

newcastle browns are very geordie indeed and a thing is when, when you have a few beers you can only really talk geordie or drunk and i think have both latin best. if i'm totally honest, i that both the same but yeah but my accent floats all over the shop so it floats have brought them in the midlands up here and they do voice voiceovers . you do comedy. yep voiceovers. you do comedy. yep you do impressions . i do. my you do impressions. i do. my voting record was all to because i didn't vote on political agenda. i voted on whose voice i could do that that was my voting record so come on, who do you go? well, people first of all, tony blair, who call would smile a great, great job. yeah, yeah . a great, great job. yeah, yeah. you've got ed miliband who had . you've got ed miliband who had. that's good. something that's good.i that's good. something that's good. i got a cold. i feel you sleaze . ed miliband. it's tony sleaze. ed miliband. it's tony blair. they've got that up. but bofis blair. they've got that up. but boris was, of course, great to impersonate you. remember, too, if you're making cup of tea to leave the in, unless , of course,

leave the in, unless, of course, taking it out . yes. great. and taking it out. yes. great. and then obviously in the states you've got the donald, a great guy of yours that is me. totally great. great guy. i know nigel is a great guy. a great daniels. the only person to go down more than sunderland believe that . than sunderland believe that. oh, dear . you know, i than sunderland believe that. oh, dear. you know, i just than sunderland believe that. oh, dear . you know, i just knew oh, dear. you know, i just knew coming to the north—east i came to trouble. if offended. we're sorry , but how seriously? comedy sorry, but how seriously? comedy yeah, people i talk to stand up comedians getting harder and harder to tell about subjects. people being cancelled everywhere, having their careers ruined. they got for comedy . i ruined. they got for comedy. i mean, how do you work out where the is or is it always changing? it's changing no matter where you are. you've got to take consideration the strong holds. if you're in a conservative stronghold, of course, you're not going to go against the tories. you're not going to do

anti labour stuff in the north—east. a general rule, north—east. as a general rule, that do have to have a that so you do have to have a little bit of knowledge, that sort of thing. but the truth of the is anything the matter is, is anything topical go for? i topical you go for? and i strongly agree what ricky strongly agree with what ricky gervais that people need gervais said is that people need to saying jokes offensive to stop saying jokes offensive because on offensive. you because jokes on offensive. you are offended that . but the are offended at that. but the joke is not offensive. right. i personally , you can make a joke personally, you can make a joke about anything so long as it's funny that that's the full that's the acid test. yeah. yeah it's got to be funny. if it's funny, you can get away with. yeah, i believe so. yes that's how i think. that's what you're probably doing. it's good that . probably doing. it's good that. now . of course newcastle united now. of course newcastle united is what? it's very close i think in this part of the world to being something, a religion . and being something, a religion. and yet those worlds of sport, politics and increasingly in premier league football big

money that constantly colliding. what thought somebody that might be quite a good idea to get along to speak to us this evening is that newcastle united legend the fifth highest goalscorer for the club of all time possibly the fastest attacking footballer there's ever been in the game . it is, of ever been in the game. it is, of course, super back malcolm . course, super back malcolm. well, you know . it was a few well, you know. it was a few years ago, but they still love it. yes they've got long memories . what do you bet a memories. what do you bet a great time, didn't you, here at this club and. but i was chatting you in the green room about how quick you were on the field. i mean, like you were known for that burst of pace. and i asked you earlier whether you'd ever been sprinter. tell you'd ever been a sprinter. tell us yes i school. i to us the story. yes i school. i to win the sprints and so somebody

suggested that i go join an athletic club and i went to south london and joined fernhill harriers and the coaches there, they work brilliantly with with young people and they get your style later on. when i was out, i was doing superstars, which was brilliant . it was was brilliant. it was a wonderful programme to take part in. it really was . and i met in. it really was. and i met some wonderful , great people . some wonderful, great people. but ron pickering was one of the commentators and he great athletics coach . and i remember athletics coach. and i remember the winning the winning the sprint there in my alma and i ran 10.4 for 100 metres and at end.he ran 10.4 for 100 metres and at end. he signalled me to up to the commentary position in the stand and i went up and he said,

he said incredible time said you realise you've just run point four. i said oh no, didn't realise. and the world record at the time was 9.9. so it's just half a second. and he said , he half a second. and he said, he said and if i were your trainer i would coaching you and training you. he said, i take half a second minimum of every body. he said, so you probably break the world record , but then break the world record, but then you're a professional. so i don't want to not. it was all amateur and professional. well, athletics loss was football's goal. athletics loss was football's goal . but when you had five new goal. but when you had five new customers every year, they were tough times. what they. well, they were and not much in football but yeah. but generally because it became the three day week and it really hit the northeast severely and so people found it difficult to be able to

afford to go and see the gate some time what have you and so yeah life it was it was very difficult for everybody. i opened a business and, and we tried to stay open six days a week . and for three days of the week. and for three days of the week. and for three days of the week we had to put gas lighting in, you know, the portable gas lighters and what have you . and lighters and what have you. and people times people come back with a pair of trousers saying that blue, i thought they were black . yeah no, they were tough black. yeah no, they were tough times . now black. yeah no, they were tough times. now the club having quite a good season in the premier league, having a brilliant season. yeah yes. yeah. and and everybody is so enjoying it i think because we've a very, very tough 14 years under mike ashley who who pretty much stripped in a number ways wrong words yes but but that was the case so

sadly i think . and but malcolm sadly i think. and but malcolm and now we are seeing a little bit of investment and what we're saying the best things can and i understand that the saudi arabians have an awful lot of money and they're getting into boxing and they're getting into snooken boxing and they're getting into snooker. they're getting into golf and bought this football club is that the right thing for newcastle . i think if you ask newcastle. i think if you ask around everybody would say yes because i would. would you rather the saudis who are there now or ashley and i think everybody would agree and it would be the saudis. it's malcolm, right about that off of things. malcolm's right about that and hands up he thinks he's wrong now you've got a big majority not like okay but it's just we always we get this the right we know the human rights record in saudi arabia all of these things there's a bidding war going all across in

manchester. right now between the qataris and jim ratcliffe. all i'm saying is, you know, in the end, doesn't the english premier league need to keep some sense of englishness. yes but it's very difficult to do because it's become such a money or and orientated business. now as to what it was before it was the premier league , for example the premier league, for example , the glazers at manchester united they bought united some years back and, it was for less than 800 million then. now talking a few years later of it being sold . for 6 billion. and being sold. for 6 billion. and i know it's a colossal and, and so what we what we have is the premier league is bringing in massive of financial players all around the world and of course .

around the world and of course. and the amount of advertising thatis and the amount of advertising that is there to be had quite incredible. i asked i asked a friend of mine and a guy and i know quite well he's big newcastle fan, he's an advertising agency and i said can you just roughly tell me how much it would cost a year for my cash to have all the sports direct advertising . and he said direct advertising. and he said well he with all the minutes that there are television he said he's probably getting about £1,000,000,000 a year in advertising , £1,000,000,000 a year in advertising, you £1,000,000,000 a year in advertising , you know. so no, advertising, you know. so no, i get it . no advertising, you know. so no, i get it. no wonder advertising, you know. so no, i get it . no wonder know he wanted get it. no wonder know he wanted to get in on it. i got in the premier division. i got it. well, thank you for your comments. and can you just imagine what you'd be paid these days?i imagine what you'd be paid these days? i yes . that imagine what you'd be paid these days? i yes. that and also i wouldn't be paying 92 and a half % tax, but i thought everybody thank you very much indeed for

joining you. in a moment, barrage. the barrage. first we take a.

break okay. it's time to barrage. barrage. five people are going to ask me questions. all i know are that question . i've no idea are that question. i've no idea what they're going to ask . take what they're going to ask. take it away, giles. do you think it's it away, giles. do you think wsfime it away, giles. do you think it's time small businesses helped . not hindered by all the helped. not hindered by all the regulations and taxes. charles there are five and a half million people men and women running little businesses , some running little businesses, some with limited companies, some as sole traders . from the 1st of sole traders. from the 1st of april this year , they are going april this year, they are going to be faced with no change to either 35 rules for those that pay either 35 rules for those that pay themselves, dividend their taxes, will go up. nobody either

frontbench understands anything about small business. all the influences on them come from the big global corporates. i've run small businesses myself. i actually think that our small business folk are now some of those put upon people. the point brexit was to make easier for small businesses by getting rid of excessive regulation . charles of excessive regulation. charles i'm really angry about it. of excessive regulation. charles i'm really angry about it . yeah, i'm really angry about it. yeah, yeah, yeah. i am , i am. do you yeah, yeah. i am, i am. do you feel either party represents yet? no. know many doors these sort of regulations are the worst part of. i think i read a thing the other day that you know the average small business model woman running that small company will spend 25% of their week dealing with week just dealing with bureaucracy. charles i with bureaucracy. now charles i with you a channel want to you and we as a channel want to be champions. small business. thank brexit soubry . hi, thank you. brexit soubry. hi, nigel. good evening . do people nigel. good evening. do people who come to this country get the same benefits as people born in this country ? if so, why ? and

this country? if so, why? and who implemented this policy? well have a welfare state that is non—contributory. that's part of the problem. but i think what you're putting your finger on says is a feeling in the country that. says is a feeling in the country that . you can just come in here that. you can just come in here as a young male. you can get not just health care, but dental care . i mean, who can get an nhs care. i mean, who can get an nhs dentist, you know you get dental care , help of all kinds. care, help of all kinds. a couple of years down the line he might get rights of family reunion when a lot of people here feel that frankly they're not getting looked after particularly . well i mean in particularly. well i mean in many cases i joked about dentists but they can't even get a so i think is a gp appointment. so i think is a gp appointment. so i think is a of unfairness . and i a sense of unfairness. and i think that sense of unfairness isn't just shared by those that have lived here for generations . a lot of people whose families have come legally to britain, if you want to come as a legal now, it's you want to come as a legal now, wsfime you want to come as a legal now, it's time consuming. there's a test to pass . it costs money. test to pass. it costs money. no, i think that's right. i

think coming to live in this country and ultimately getting a british passport should be a prize. there should be a cost attached to it. but if you come here legally and you see down the street people who come here illegally with the same rights as you're going to as you, you're going to be angry, so this is about angry, too. so this is about this is about what is fair and proper. and if you dare proper. and yet, if you dare raise voice in public raise your voice in public and say this shalt you down and say this thou shalt you down and call nasty names. i mean, is call you nasty names. i mean, is that roughly your on it or do you see it differently to me? yeah, it's definitely the take on you. don't say anything any more than saying you don't ask. no. who implemented no. and i just. who implemented this policy ? because somebody no. and i just. who implemented this phave ? because somebody no. and i just. who implemented this phave saidcause somebody no. and i just. who implemented this phave said we se somebody no. and i just. who implemented this phave said we give mebody must have said we give everybody. oh, successive politicians . and one of the politicians. and one of the people, of course, who's so people, of course, who's been so pro this keir starmer, pro all of this is keir starmer, who well become our who may well become our next prime minister though i'm prime minister even though i'm not with the not very happy with the conservatives, can't see much conservatives, i can't see much progress . but we progress until. but there we are. susan, thank you very much indeed. well norman . norman, indeed. well norman. norman, hello . good evening, nigel. does

hello. good evening, nigel. does defeat on yesterday's vote signal the start of the remainers plot to take us back into the eu? well, the remainers plot started at about 3:00 in the morning on the 24th of june 26 day, because they never accepted the result . you know, accepted the result. you know, how dare you do dreadful unwashed peasants do things difference in the way that we think? but i mean, you remember that all of us that voted brexit, we were all knuckle dragger neanderthals. i mean, the whole thing was absolutely and successive attempts to stop it happening to have another referendum . and you know, and in referendum. and you know, and in my case, what i what i set the brexit party up to that european election, the north top score in the whole country got was here in the north—east. i just say we have had enough of this. i i worry that basically the globalists are back in charge of the conservative party back charles's question. the influence is now when the conservatives are big business, big business wants it doesn't
