meanwhile, labour, the conservatives now believe they can capitalise on the suspect reality of what we can call with 20 seats up for grabs in the wake of a damaging leadership contest for the snp. joining us in the studio is our very own. here he is , ed tom harwood. tom here he is, ed tom harwood. tom eight one. but firstly thanks for the promotion, but i'm still deputy political editor. that's good. yeah, yeah, i know. so do time after time . well, yeah, time after time. well, yeah, lots of promotions going on in the world of politics. not least in scotland. so he won more. i thought i didn't know he was going to win. actually, i thought kate forbes is going to win. the finance minister. that effectively 50% of the party didn't want him. it's a really, really interesting point because this rounds of this took multiple rounds of voting. voting voting. preferential voting system. and in the first round, humza yousaf did not get a majority of snp members . but majority of snp members. but even more than that, it wasn't . even more than that, it wasn't. even if we look at all of the sections of voting, you had quite a few snp members that

didn't choose to vote. indeed, in that first round humza yousaf got fewer votes than the number of snp voters who sat on their hands and chose not to participate in this contest. so really we're looking at someone who doesn't have the overwhelming endorsement of his party. however he does have the overwhelming endorsed means of members of the scottish parliament, snp, members of the scottish parliament that is looking at the divisions between the snp membership and the snp . the snp membership and the snp. msp is for want of use of alpha bett, soup of acronyms and initialism ams. it does seem he'll have an easier time navigating the scottish parliament than perhaps kate forbes would have done . but can forbes would have done. but can i just read this quote from kate forbes you were a transport minister in the trains whenever on you were justice on time when you were justice secretary, the police was stretched point and stretched to breaking point and is now as health minister. you've got record high waiting lists. the as lists. how can you do the job as first minister? couldn't do first minister? you couldn't do any jobs properly. any of those jobs properly. it is remarkable. actually, any of those jobs properly. it

is rem seenle. actually, any of those jobs properly. it is rem seen quite actually, any of those jobs properly. it is rem seen quite a actually, any of those jobs properly. it is rem seen quite a few|ally, any of those jobs properly. it is rem seen quite a few divisions we've seen quite a few divisions within snp up over within the snp bubble up over the weeks and months the last few weeks and months that really got an that haven't really got an airing. before time the airing. before the last time the snp had a leadership contest was 2004. is the first time 2004. so this is the first time that we've had real contested that we've had a real contested contest the snp. we've contest within the snp. we've seen a fissure grow within this party of perhaps the more socially conservative, a bit older base that used to be the core of the snp back when they were known as the tartan tories. that clearly still exists in the snp voting coalition. even though it's been obscured by nicolas sturgeon and what she tried to create as sort of this big nationalist tent. i think humza yousaf is going to have a bigger problem trying to hold that coalition together. if the socially conservative snp traditional vote in the highlands and the islands in the borders and in and around aberdeen , for example, these are aberdeen, for example, these are the areas where, for example, the areas where, for example, the scottish conservatives believe they can make inroads. i was speaking to a number of senior scottish conservative figures in recent days who were quite worried about the prospect

of kate forbes . they think that of kate forbes. they think that the media in particular has underestimated the socially conservative base in scotland and thought that kate forbes could really tap into that broad and broaden that snp coalition. the fact that the snp have gone to hell for leather for humza yousaf and will now be pursuing again the gender recognition reform plans and, and pursuing that deal with the green party that deal with the green party that keeps them in power because of course they don't have a majority in the scottish parliament. they have to have this with the greens to this deal with the greens to govern. part of that deal govern. and part of that deal with the greens was pushing ahead this gender ahead with this gender recognition reform and with decarbonisation that worries a lot of people in and around aberdeen. the oil industry creates lots and of in creates lots and lots of jobs in the north—east scotland . and the north—east of scotland. and so some big problems so there are some big problems now with snp trying to hold now with the snp trying to hold together this coalition has together this coalition that has sustained them for the last 15 years in power in scotland and may now start to fracture . it's may now start to fracture. it's quite interesting because the actual margin was 52 to 48. so

this familiar sound that we've we've been had before the vote on the record and it was a 70% turnout. so it's very, very, very high , isn't it? very tight. very high, isn't it? very tight. and the 70% turnout is lower than the turnout that they had in 2004, despite the fact that this was an online ballot in 2004, you had to post off . yes, 2004, you had to post off. yes, physical letters and more snp members chose to vote in that than chose to vote this time. it's a lower turnout than the tories had in their leadership elections and the labour party had really, because they just did lot of them just a plague did a lot of them just a plague on all the house, didn't like any of the candidates. i think i think a lot of them will have thought these were flawed thought that these were flawed candidates. of them, thought that these were flawed candid as s. of them, thought that these were flawed candid as well, of them, thought that these were flawed candid as well, of of them, thought that these were flawed candid as well, of virtuallyzm, regan as well, of virtually unknown someone unknown quantity, someone who held post held a junior ministerial post and resigned. kate forbes, obviously, her obviously, who's kicked off her campaign with a very controversial that controversial interview that seemed to contravene the socially liberal stance that the snp had made of any marriage. no allowing same sex marriage, which she was against. absolutely. and that seems to be

in contravention of the prevailing attitude of not just the people of scotland, but england, wales and many other parts of the country as well. it is . this does seem is interesting. this does seem to be a sort of b tier of candidates . to be a sort of b tier of candidates. there's no a—listers . and perhaps the overwhelming personality of nicola sturgeon being in post for the best part of the last decade has really suffocated the growth of new voices, of new talents within the snp. and you get this sometimes in a party when you have sort of one dominating figure, we source in the democratic party in the united states with hillary clinton sort of squeak easing out any possible contenders to fight. so and that's why we saw the remarkable and peculiar rise of bernie a massive bernie sanders, a massive outsider. i think similarly in the way that talent within the snp have been suffocated by nicola sturgeon's overwhelming and domineering leadership, we've seen a limited amount of talent being able to rise . no talent being able to rise. no succession strategy was the no. he is very much nicola's man. i

mean, how much has to be the power behind the throne? i if i was opposing her in any way i'd be more worried about her being on the backbenches and getting on the backbenches and getting on things behind the scenes and quietly and putting this. when he didn't he, that he made a joke, didn't he, that he's to have nicola he's going to have nicola sturgeon i think sturgeon on speed dial? i think that you'll regret it just as mrs. thatcher famously when she went central office. went to tory central office. i'll back street. driver i'll be at back street. driver yes. haunted. yeah yeah. yes. and it haunted. yeah yeah. so think he'll regret and we so i think he'll regret and we forget nicola sturgeon will of course still be a member of the scottish parliament. she will be sitting these backbench sitting in on these backbench seats in the scottish parliament. we might well see a p0p up parliament. we might well see a pop up if we now and again on a thursday for first minister's questions, she'll still be a visible presence. and of course, because such because she's been such a dominant figure in the landscape of politics, of scottish politics, particularly through the pandemic will be very pandemic, yeah, it will be very , very hard for humza yousaf to establish his own personality, to move on being this sort to move on from being this sort of continuity candidate as he's been painted. kevin maguire kevin's just arrived. are you

kevin's just arrived. are you kevin ? i'm good. how are you? kevin? i'm good. how are you? and at a scottish voice. indeed. yes, yes . so what do you and at a scottish voice. indeed. yes, yes. so what do you think, mike? what is make of it? i mean, i think the problem he's got is the final result was so close and i think it just confirmed what we'd seen during the campaign . it was confirmed what we'd seen during the campaign. it was a confirmed what we'd seen during the campaign . it was a very the campaign. it was a very divided party. no even surprised how close it was. not really . i how close it was. not really. i mean, people i've spoken to over the weekend and snp obviously try to find out who they think is going to win and they all thought humza would probably win, my win, but they wouldn't stick my neck. thought it was neck. they thought it was because i saw kate might because i saw kate forbes might sneak on sneak it. well, i thought on second preferences. i think if you're at the breakdown you're looking at the breakdown of the of the votes, it was sort of the of the votes, it was sort of just a few more of key of ash . regan's second preferences had switched to and kate instead of humza then she would have won. and that's is off to a difficult start straight away because you know, it has to unite the party first before it can lead to kevin . how how do you how likely

kevin. how how do you how likely do you think that actually is? because nicola said, you know, good luck to all the candidates. i'm not backing one i'm not backing any one particular one. i just want them all to work together. but looking face in looking at ashley's face in particular, yesterday, the particular, yesterday, when the result know, result was announced, you know, the didn't the third candidate, she didn't look that ecstatic with what was going no, i mean, humza going on. no, i mean, humza yousaf i think it's fair to say, had all the advantages in the race in terms of they had the party hierarchy, almost the party hierarchy, almost the party behind him. nicola party machine behind him. nicola sturgeon obviously couldn't come out say who she out and say who she was supporting, but just everyone else there the leader else out there that the leader at westminster that has deputy said, it was obvious said, you know, it was obvious who the party hierarchy wanted to win and ashley going, i guess was a sort of renegade candidate, half next candidate, probably half next preference would have been kay if she couldn't manufacturing she'd rather keep folks one. i think there was probably areas where they could work together , where they could work together, but, humza yousaf did but, you know, humza yousaf did paint himself as the continuity candidate on kit for the said sense as well. continue it just won't cut it and she was pretty

rude about him during the debate that we read out the quote about how he was at transport. the trains were like the health record waiting lists just as secretary. they're dealing with that law degree in europe. yeah and so this could all haunt the snp because this is going to be ammunition for the tories and laboun ammunition for the tories and labour. absolutely. you'll hear those quotes thrown back at humza between now in the humza yousaf between now in the next election on. it's just perfect fodder for the conservatives and for lib. tom was saying that actually kate forbes had won with a very socially conservative views on marriage and same sex marriage that would have been bad for the tories, possibly the tories might gain now as a result of use of do you think that's a possibility? potentially, yeah. i mean, especially because the scottish conservatives have been sustained by the constitutional question in scotland with a very tough pro—union f humza yousaf continues with nicola sturgeon's strategy on focusing on

independence . then you know, independence. then you know, that plays right into their hands come the next election because they can see if you want to stop a second referendum, what conservative and is what conservative and gender is the tories are opposed to it. labour supporters in scotland know in know starmer's union, in my view, about it view, is on the fence about it down that that makes a down here that that makes a change that. again, that change that. but again, that will be an issue. the tories will be an issue. the tories will play very hard. i'm absolutely. for absolutely. yeah. well what for in scotland it. no it's not. in scotland is it. no it's not. i mean not ultimately it was probably brought in and probably fought, brought in and it that it wasn't the only thing that brought was brought down, it was a combination fighting. but combination of fighting. but that i think was the that certainly i think was the straw that mean, it's straw that i mean, it's interesting because that was the first thing you went in on, wasn't it? section 35, going to take rishi sunak on this one. and say, kevin, that was and as you say, kevin, that was the thing that actually the one thing that actually i think probably was the final straw and also straw for nicola. and it's also let's talk about things like the monarchy giving very, monarchy is always giving very, very interviews. very strong interviews. the republican well. republican as well. yeah, absolutely. the absolutely. so ditch the king basically. ditch i basically. yeah. ditch women. i mean, as a as a strange you mean, as a as a strange one, you know, thinks that know, he obviously thinks that he thinks nicola he thinks it nicola is fantastic. have fantastic. he says you also have it on speed dial that big mistake saying that but she's at

divisive figure scotland . the divisive figure in scotland. the people that love her really love it people that don't it but the people that don't really her and he's really dislike her and if he's going to go down that path as well, then i think he's got real problems so divisive figures problems and so divisive figures today jeremy today is the end of jeremy corbyn's career as a labour politician. well, looks corbyn's career as a labour polithatn. well, looks corbyn's career as a labour polithat way, well, looks corbyn's career as a labour polithat way, of alell, looks corbyn's career as a labour polithat way, of course looks corbyn's career as a labour polithat way, of course the (s corbyn's career as a labour polithat way, of course the vote set that way, of course the vote does take place until early does not take place until early this afternoon. of the this afternoon. this is of the labour party. any seat . but of labour party. any seat. but of course keir starmer in recent years has built up majority of years has built up a majority of supporters on the labour party's ndc . and so it looks likely that ndc. and so it looks likely that this motion that of course is proposed by him, the labour party leader, will pass today and this will explicitly ban jeremy corbyn from standing as a labour party candidate at the next election . interestingly, next election. interestingly, however, the wording of the motion isn't about the reasons why he was suspended as a labour mp to start with, which of course was over. how he dealt with the army's investigation into the labour party's anti—semitism . jeremy corbyn, of anti—semitism. jeremy corbyn, of course, said that anti—semitism was was exaggerated within the

labour party and he refused to apologise to the jewish community for that . this motion community for that. this motion makes no mention of that. this motion. spicer specifically talks about the electable party of the labour party. the fact that jeremy corbyn led the labour party to their worst defeat since 1935 and the in order to win the next election, they need to disassociate themselves corbyn themselves from jeremy corbyn and interesting motion and really interesting motion that focus is solely on electability rather than any other issue. that's hindering kevin. because when he ran for the leadership of the labour party, keir starmer, he embraced the ten major policies of keir starmer. i'm sorry, jeremy corbyn well yeah, now he's denouncing terrible poll twice in two general elections to be prime minister. yeah, well, i mean, that's the thing about a leadership campaign is that you are polling that different constituencies obviously he has to appeal to at labour members most of whom with many of whom were jeremy corbyn supporters. we have to tell them basically what they wanted to hear. yeah,

no . yeah. he's every single one no. yeah. he's every single one of them. and on jeremy corbyn in particular, he's going very, very hard. and tom really not support that motion yesterday. it was not about the antisemitism stuff, it was about electability and basically send a message to the country that this is no longerjeremy corbyn's party. it's under new management. and to try and neutralise his rishi sunak attacks because it comes back to this again and again. prime minister's questions campaign for jeremy corbyn is a difficult forjeremy corbyn is a difficult one starmer. i guess one for keir starmer. i guess this would enable me to say, oh yeah , that i've kicked my yeah, that i've kicked my opponent, so do not. sorry, opponent, so do you not. sorry, i do you think is i said, what do you think is done?is i said, what do you think is done? is an intervention? yeah, i mean, that seems to be indications that we're getting. yeah, make yeah, i think i don't make a final decision has been made but is to take a guy i think who wouldn't off quietly wouldn't just go off quietly with been the mp for 40 years for you a huge majority. for as you know a huge majority. i idea he's just i think the idea that he's just going to slip away and retire to his allotment, i think is quite far there have been far fetched. there have been examples who have examples of labour mps who have not been re selected to stand

for their party in the past, who have then gone on to win as independents . so there was an independents. so there was an example in wales in 2001 of this where was a protest over an where it was a protest over an all women's shortlist there all women's shortlist and there have been some other examples as well past. i think it's well in the past. i think it's not that jeremy not impossible that jeremy corbyn could win as an independent labour in independent labour candidate in islington, and presents a islington, north and presents a challenge starmer on the challenge to keir starmer on the backbenches. but clearly what starmer everyone to be starmer wants everyone to be talking about today is fact talking about today is the fact that he's kicked out of that he's being kicked out of the party. people the party. some people are describing keir describing this as keir starmer's claws moment. i'm starmer's claws for moment. i'm not sure it's quite up to that that level because when we look at what happened in 1994 with tony blair winning the leadership and really trying to create what became known as new laboun create what became known as new labour, a significant move away , tony blair had always been known as a moderniser. he'd always been known when he was when he was a shadow home secretary he was he spoke on you coined the phrase tough on crime , tough on the causes of crime . , tough on the causes of crime. he was known as someone who

wanted to move the labour policy in a certain direction, whereas when keir starmer stood for the leadership, he was saying he wanted continue the policy wanted to continue the policy agenda jeremy he agenda of jeremy corbyn. he called jeremy corbyn his friend. he would rely on jeremy he said he would rely on jeremy corbyn, corbyn corbyn, that jeremy corbyn did great the labour great things for the labour party. as soon as he got in the post, he's pushed him off a cliff. yeah and i think that that of duplicity might that sort of duplicity might well well for keir well not work as well for keir starmer consistency of starmer as the consistency of tony blair in 1994. it was that private poll won, somebody published last week. one of the attributes people said about kiss dump out for being boring was backstabber. yeah is that a reference to corbyn? let's not agree. and rex is . i mean, ed agree. and rex is. i mean, ed miliband had that over his brother. you remember that? not not haunted him all the way to the election is when i think a lot of people didn't know much about ed miliband, but they remember they remember that there think, there is amongst, i think, people listening watching people listening and watching today. that sort of today. there is that sort of like, could trust like, well, how could i trust someone could do that to a someone that could do that to a friend? yeah, but i mean, it is

i mean, obviously this is politics know, what politics and you know, what labour because i want labour doing is because i want to win the next election and they to win elections when they tend to win elections when they tend to win elections when they are centre based. so they are more centre based. so do the keir starmer is do we think the keir starmer is playing game here, the playing the right game here, the right i think that right long game. i think that certainly is the view of certainly this is the view of the people around keir starmer and it that there's the and it is true that there's the famous, famous phrase you famous, famous phrase if you look last, what is it, look at the last, what is it, nine elections or something you had lose , lose, lose, blah, had lose, lose, lose, blah, blah, blah , his knees lose . and blah, blah, his knees lose. and there is a lesson to take from that, that the country isn't that, that the country isn't that comfortable with going for an incredibly radical socialist programme and that middle england is a key constituency to win over. and people do need to feel that they're safe in voting for the labour party . however, for the labour party. however, the issue keir starmer has is he has changed his mind on a lot of these issues. he's changed his mind on brexit, he's changed his mind on brexit, he's changed his mind on brexit, he's changed his mind on immigration, he's changed mind changed his mind on nationalisation, changed nationalisation, he's changed mind on just about every facet of the labour party's manifesto

. so he the man that . and so is he the man that people can trust to be consistent when he gets into power? that's a question that the labour party will have to answer answer. also to answer and answer. also to corbyn has. doesn't you corbyn still has. doesn't you have constituency in have a strong constituency in the labour party. there's a lot of people the political left of people on the political left might disenfranchised might feel disenfranchised by this see the green this and i could see the green party, instance, benefiting this and i could see the green party, corbyn:e, benefiting this and i could see the green party, corbyn falloutefiting this and i could see the green party, corbyn fallout perhaps. from the corbyn fallout perhaps. yeah, but i think the first past the post system. yeah. works against the greens. they can build up support and 50 seats, but not enough to actually when you from brighton obviously you part from brighton obviously so the right so is keir starmer the right person to take the labour party into the next election? i think there's any question that there's any question about that now. position is now. oh yeah. his position is secure. it's i think it's a clear interest to see if the polls keep not. yeah, you know we're still probably over 18 months out from election . yeah. months out from election. yeah. just having a bit of a wobble until to panic until they start to panic because panic quite a lot because they panic quite a lot before. that's the thing the labour party tends to not get before. that's the thing the labofr party tends to not get before. that's the thing the labof itsarty tends to not get before. that's the thing the labof its leadersis to not get before. that's the thing the labof its leaders wheniot get before. that's the thing the labof its leaders when it get rid of its leaders when it panics. it's very, very loyal to a fault. whereas tory party a fault. whereas the tory party of course is ruthless. there

of course is ruthless. but there is parallel we is an interesting parallel we can draw about what happened in the nineties. the late nineties. everyone thought neil was thought that neil kinnock was was certain to win 1992 thought that neil kinnock was was certain to win1992 and he didn't even though he had 20 point leads at one point just after mrs. thatcher fell in 1992 was, of course, the surprise victory for the boring technique cratic tory leader . and i wonder cratic tory leader. and i wonder if there's a bit of a parallel here potentially the tory party hopes that there is a narrow path, but a path whereby the bonng path, but a path whereby the boring tory party leader can say that you should, which he . yes. that you should, which he. yes. the devil you know. yeah. and then potentially a modern noise within the labour party who's been concerned systems in their views . someone like wes views. someone like wes streeting could then take the and take the torch from keir starmer and actually say that this is a more believable path to a modern labour party than someone who's flip flopped on every is interesting, every issue. it is interesting, kevin story piece kevin talking story and piece in the last couple of weeks the language has changed. they all was it's how much. was convinced it's not how much. if we lose, it's by how is

if we lose, it's by how much is it? massacre . now they're it? 97. a massacre. now they're saying, says in 92, saying, just as tom says in 92, is possible , could we is it possible, could we possibly win again ? it's possibly win again? it's changed. yeah, because start because the prime minister seems to have got his act together. yeah, there's definitely a sense that the wind is in rishi sunak sails at the moment. he's had a good two or three weeks. no yeah. which something that the tories. absolutely. i think if you compare it to this time last yeah you compare it to this time last year. yeah. and and yeah there is a 60 c there is a little bit of anxiety i think around and labour circles, they think that it's a soft lead. you know the fat cats remark really, really 20 for the last six 20 points for the last six months. but they're not convinced as you know, convinced that as you know, they're not colman as far as the next election is concerned. a lot of former conservative voters have switched to don't, nor rather than switched to labour and. the worry for labour is that as we get closer to the election, they decide actually we're to stick with we're going to stick with what we're going to stick with what we take a chance on we know than take a chance on a labour. we know than take a chance on a labour . that we know than take a chance on a labour. that interesting because i of like well

i mean it's sort of like well there is a the latest poll was like ten points between the two parties and is getting parties and that is getting a bit sort of like know bottom bit sort of like you know bottom clenching if you're clenching we talk if you're labour but the public don't seem to over the latest to be that one over the latest poll that was just literally a days ago 33% say the government is doing badly. so it's sort of playful. i think it is. yeah. and you're right, the question is, are we heading for 92 style election? are we heading for 1997? and go either way 1997? and it could go either way really ? and that's what makes it really? and that's what makes it so fascinating. the other thing to is that, know, to remember is that, you know, the conservatives still so a the conservatives are still so a majority, around 70 seats is a substantial help for labour substantial help for the labour party to claim. you're looking at almost like a 1997 style swing win, you know, for labour, and that's why it's important for labour to win seats in scotland. divisions go through to the editor of the huffpost, tell them you'll probably be back coming. back with this later. coming. well, coming up, we're going have of have more on the new leader of the how both sides of the snp and how both sides of the snp and how both sides of the reacting. on the border reacting. more on that in the next hour with you and gb news. hello. very good morning to you. i'm aidan mcgivern the met a dry and

such victory with up to 20 seats up for grabs because whatever you thought of nicola sturgeon, she formidable vote she was a formidable vote winning so in winning politician. so in joining for more on this is joining us for more on this is the political commentator and pubuc public affairs consultant piers pottinger, happens to be pottinger, who happens to be scottish . and tell us about you. scottish. and tell us about you. is this a potential win for the tories and labour because sturgeon was a very effective campaigner . sturgeon was a very effective campaigner. she was a very effective . he has made it very effective. he has made it very clear. so in his winning speech that he's going to continue some of the more delusional snp policies, including fighting the uk government over the gender law , which seems complete law, which seems complete madness and 16 year old to change that gender that i'm talking to adopt. absolutely. and all 50 decided and also, of course , it will cost millions in course, it will cost millions in court when this comes to a court case. and the one thing the snp are very good at is spending money they don't have. the other thing he wants to do is go into

europe, which seems utterly crazy because if they on the one hand want to be independent of westminster, then they want to go into europe where they have even less independence than they do now. it seems absolutely crazy , but of course i think crazy, but of course i think it's a good opportunity for both labour and to some extent the i mean, douglas ross a terrific job. he's the tory leader. he's the tory leader. but unless sarwar, who's a train dentist, will probably inflict more pain on the snp , he's the labour on the snp, he's the labour leader. he's the labour leader. and you know , the snp have got and you know, the snp have got a huge number of issues that there's such a delusional party. they focus on this , this absurd they focus on this, this absurd concept of in dependence which they couldn't afford in any way. instead of dealing with all the major issues they've got, mostly created by themselves . yes, it created by themselves. yes, it i get obviously not scottish but i

get obviously not scottish but i get the it's all been about this drive to nationalism when you know the highest per capita drugs deaths . europe says that drugs deaths. europe says that the health problems the nhs there is system. i have problems with the police and transport and much of this was our under yousef's watch as well. so i mean do ordinary scottish people think what can we just actually start sorting out the mess on the ground as well? well that's what one would hope. i think i think you're getting very close to a point where the scottish people are going to wake up and say, hang on a minute, this country is in a total mess and. it's all been the people responsible are the snp . and responsible are the snp. and also course, there's this also of course, there's this question of the missing £600,000 under police investigation . and under police investigation. and of course , having a continued of course, having a continued continuity candidate as he put himself. sturgeon is protecting herself and her husband from chief executive wasn't his he was . and, of course, the head of was. and, of course, the head of the crime prosecution service in

scotland is ludicrously political appointment and a member of the snp cabinet and she has been stifling police from action in terms of prosecution for last six months. it is extraordinary. and i mean any other political party would in tatters . they are showing in tatters. they are showing signs of breaking up, as is. it was a vicious leadership campaign. they were very nasty to each other. and in end, a very few people actually voted. only 70% to 70% in online ballot, which was fewer and took part in the tory party contest. absolutely. and i think if ash regan didn't hadn't stood , kate regan didn't hadn't stood, kate forbes would have won , not kate forbes would have won, not kate forbes. seems to me to be a much more reasonable politician . and more reasonable politician. and actually taking an interest in the big issues in facing scotland, she's very probing . scotland, she's very probing. and this as well was absolute means to find out which sturgeon is totally anti business. i mean, she's turned against the nonh mean, she's turned against the north sea oil industry . she's

north sea oil industry. she's turned against the drinks business, the distilleries . business, the distilleries. she's turned against everything that you would describe as assets in scotland. it's madness . and she's going to sit there brooding in the scottish parliament because she continues as a member of the scottish parliament. i mean, you just wouldn't want her around with you. she'll be pulling the strings and there's strings. she will. and there's no question that she'll be rubbing her hands with glee because . she'll still be the because. she'll still be the power in. there's no question of that. on the tories, quickly , that. on the tories, quickly, far more popular in scotland because boris was a disaster north of the border. absolutely. yeah i mean, rishi, i think, has done well in scotland . of done well in scotland. of course, keir starmer has been up there every week for the month and he recognises the opportunity. but rishi rishi over the last month has been performing better. yeah. and i think , you know, whereas a month think, you know, whereas a month ago i would have said he had no chance of being re—elected, you never know. he might just do it.

mind you, i think he's going to have longer trousers. i think he looks to have a silly wandering around in those long distance. i know. i mean , he thinks it makes know. i mean, he thinks it makes him look taller. it makes him ridiculous, but he does wear very expensive shoes. so make you show me shoes off, you know, good shoes. a serious good shoes. yeah. on a serious note , has got there's no note, he has got there's no question about ricci's integrity , his intelligence. but i think it's his gravitas that is lacking. and he still needs to show that he's a tough, strong leader and with what he's done on northern ireland, i think that's something if he pulls it off, which i think he will. well, we're sort of out of time, but you've been advising either literally just, piers, what would be your number one piece of advice to rishi sunak to get that stature? how does he get. how you grow stature ? i how did you grow stature? i think he has to score points, make single messages and make them land . he's got to be tough,

them land. he's got to be tough, firm and know and take the opportunity to speak really forcibly about the key issues we all face today . cost of living. all face today. cost of living. interesting. yes thank you, piers. thank you very much. pleasure. thanks. all right. still to come, we'll have the latest on the ongoing high court heanng latest on the ongoing high court hearing against associated newspapers by prince harry. this is to the point on

gb news. it's 1017. with the to the point on gb news. with andrew pierce and dawn neesom. and right. prince harry has just arrived at the royal high school. ahead of day two of the court case into alleged tapping by the alleged phone tapping by the publisher mail. publisher of the daily mail. yeah. more on this, what yeah. so for more on this, what can we can expect today ? cameron can we can expect today? cameron walker's here, who's our royal reporter . is walker's here, who's our royal reporter. is he going because this is a four day preliminary heanng this is a four day preliminary hearing to see if the whole case can go ahead. do we think he's going to be there every day? well, that's why such a surprise

that harry turned up that prince harry turned up yesterday this morning yesterday and again this morning in minutes, because in the last few minutes, because it is only a preliminary hearing. he's not giving evidence. giving he's evidence. he's not giving he's not obliged to either. he is arguing other arguing with each other is basically got quite bright basically got to be quite bright to understand yes. what to understand it. yes. yes. what we originally thought this was going the next four going to be over the next four days. but prince harry yesterday spent day writing in a spent all day writing in a little black notebook, reported he tutting and shaking his he was tutting and shaking his head at the associated newspapers. lawyers and what they having to say, they were having to say, defending the daily mail newspapers as well. but he wasn't the only one that turned up sir elton john was there as well. baroness lawrence, sadie frost, because they are collectively suing the daily mail publisher over alleged unlawful information gathering . unlawful information gathering. i work the daily mail and the company has rejected all the allegations and so we're going to have full days of legal arguments. harry turning up, as you said, was a surprise. i suspect it was a just a bigger surprise, not to us, but to his father and other members of the

royal family. yeah, indeed. from my understanding, the prince of wales of wales wales and the princess of wales are in windsor week. are not in windsor this week. they've taken children they've taken their children away easter holidays, of away for the easter holidays, of course, easter holidays, course, are on easter holidays, frogmore cottage, where we think prince is staying. he's prince harry is staying. he's still lease on that still has a lease on that property at least another property for at least another month. lucky it's very month. lucky for him, it's very close to adelaide cottage where the prince and princess of wales live windsor. so we ask the live in windsor. so we ask the question yesterday, well, is there of reconciliation there a of a reconciliation meeting, two brothers. of meeting, the two brothers. of course, prince harry essentially trashed william , his trashed prince william, his brother, his memoir, the brother, in his memoir, the prince's family camera. yes. yes know taking it one the time, but alleging that william attacked him, etc. and so it looks like there's no chance to reconcile there's no chance to reconcile the meeting with an entire in norfolk at the moment, although with the children this easter half yes, exactly. long half term. yes, exactly. long way mongolia i mean, way out. mongolia i mean, there's a train you can get. exactly. but the biggest question for me is the king. yes. because course , is yes. because he, of course, is meant in france for the meant to be in france for the state week. so state visit this week. so presumably his diary is free. yeah. and yet still, we are told

by buckingham palace the king is not or windsor, but not in london or windsor, but again, it's the argument again, it's the same argument he'll andrew, he'll he'll be in. it's andrew, he'll be growth gossip be in high growth and gossip going germany. he going to go to germany. he doesn't have to pack his own cases. cameron got star cases. cameron he's got star mouth that. so preparing mouth to do that. so preparing the trip, could his son the trip, he could see his son if he wanted to, with a i suspect you don't want to see him because harry so great him because harry was so great about coming up the queen console. i mean, perhaps or maybe prince harry is saying he's too busy cases in courts facing the british tabloids. i mean mean, i suppose, mean i mean, that's i suppose, the but i it the argument. but i think it would been tricky, perhaps because it is so such surprise that harry is here in the united kingdom for king and prince of wales to very quickly adjust their plans, because i'm sure their plans, because i'm sure the prince, the king would have made some plans to then go and see their estranged family member. then, of course , member. but then, of course, you've got issue. if prince you've got the issue. if prince harry saying can he go to the harry is saying can he go to the coronation or not, depending on security, if indeed he is going to have some kind of reconciliation with his family ahead of time. he, prince harry

says in the interview on itv of tom bradby to promote his memoir spare that the ball is in the courts . so are spare that the ball is in the courts. so are we going to have any kind of communication in between the two parties before the coronation, only what, the coronation, but only what, six from the six weeks away from the coronation ? yeah. coronation now? yeah. so is getting very, very close to the invitation as he will email correspondence having been an official yet raising official invitation yet raising and the home office is asked prince harry to give reportedly 28 days notice to say whether or not he is going to attend. so we joke about sort of, you know, how are you complaining about the security or lack of security when it suits him? so surely him flying into the uk to attend the show, he must have notified the palace so they must have been aware. surely, because you can't just someone like prince harry just someone like prince harry just in maybe just popping in or maybe notified home office . yeah. notified the home office. yeah. i feel like it's perhaps more like notified the home office because the ones because they are the ones responsible metropolitan because they are the ones responprotection ietropolitan because they are the ones responprotection for)politan because they are the ones responprotection for vips,an police protection for vips, royal invitees , his security royal invitees, his security people would probably talk to those security people. yes, but

it just shows his security, which he was giving us an idea why he may not be able to come to the coronation security going to the coronation security going to be here for days. yeah. and for my understanding, the security with him yesterday security team with him yesterday where famously now where he very famously now bumped patrol his way bumped into a patrol on his way in us security team . in with his us security team. they have had they would not have had firearms, have not have had firearms, they have not have had access to m15 intelligence, unlike metropolitan police protection, gets protection, because he only gets that for state occasions . so he that for state occasions. so he was covered perhaps we think dunng was covered perhaps we think during the queen's funeral, dunng during the queen's funeral, during the queen's funeral, during the platinum jubilee celebrations for official travel between the guarded windsor estates where frogmore cottages and westminster or buckingham. and he'll be he'll be covered, for heaven's sake, at the coronation. he's the most heavily protected event, of course, of the year. yeah, yeah. britain. yeah and if certain british heads of state he's there. we've got all the foreign heads. yeah exactly. exactly. yeah. do you think he's seeing an by an opportunity to make money by staying america and staying in america and commentating for the american networks on the whole, you know, the whole the pomp and ceremony

of the coronation, it is a possibility . prince harry says possibility. prince harry says he needs the money to fund his own police protection. and clearly, american broadcasters are prepared to pay a lot of money for prince harry, perhaps to do that. they are he reports that they have approached prince harry to see whether or not he would commentate, i think king charles would want his son to be at the coronation and meghan as well. i think it i think it's more likely that harry and meghan will attend the coronation, particularly given the fact that buckingham palace have now put on the websites that the two children, prince, archie and princess elizabeth, are prince and princess. perhaps that was some kind of negotiation . and to whether to negotiation. and to whether to see whether or not harry and meghan would attend the coronation. so i think relations are better now perhaps than they were in january when the book came out. but they're still pretty poor and there's other stuff to so there's stuff to come out. so there's talk. doing a book, the talk. she's doing a book, the duchess yeah, it was duchess of sussex. yeah, it was a book deal. and netflix a four book deal. and netflix

want for that for their want more for that for their millions they're so millions they're giving harry so there'll stuff to which there'll be more stuff to which could come after the coronation thatis could come after the coronation that is the fear of having harry and the coronation and meghan at the coronation because private because these private conversations they would have presumably of their presumably with members of their own , what's say in own family, what's to say in a year's time? they're not going to regurgitated. and another to be regurgitated. and another netflix book and netflix series another book and that's the fifth buckingham palace because you would be terrified, wouldn't of terrified, wouldn't you, of having just if having a conversation just if you knew that they were potentially to it potentially going to turn it into book or or even into the next book or or even another, you know, and just the truth. and will bring a truth. and will they bring a camera them? well camera crew with them? well exactly. they're not exactly. i mean, they're not with camera question with the camera in question is not anywhere near. not going to get anywhere near. the coronation. let me but they could do other stuff. well, they could do other stuff. well, they could but would could indeed. but it would be around would focussed on around it would just focussed on harry meghan wouldn't harry and meghan wouldn't i doubts other members of the royal family would agree to be filmed netflix if filmed by the netflix if they are coronation, they'll are at the coronation, they'll be because they're be low profile because they're not royals. they not working royals. so they will they'll behind the they'll be sitting behind the pillow at night. they will. yeah. yeah. without sajid yeah. yeah. we or without sajid javid know, if javid do two week. you know, if harry. i haven't seen in the

harry. i haven't seen it in the footage we've. seemed to have him in do we know him going in school. do we know if actually got camera if he's actually got a camera crew following him for this visit? we don't know. perhaps it's possibility. don't it's a possibility. i don't think was spotted he think any was spotted when he arrived court yesterday arrived in court yesterday or indeed when he left. so yesterday arrived in just yesterday he arrived in just a normal london black cab in the front in front the front entrance in front the media. when left was a side media. when he left was a side entrance he driven in entrance and he was driven in a blacked landrover. so i blacked out landrover. so i don't that perhaps don't think that was perhaps room crew, but he room for a camera crew, but he used to say frogmore cottage. he isn't talking about what was said quotes in. so he's got said in quotes in. so he's got it said in quotes in. so he's got h bank said in quotes in. so he's got it bank of when this it in the bank of when this court case finishes making notes. yeah. he's notes. yeah. yeah. and he's notes. yeah. yeah. and he's notes. is making notes. he notes. what is making notes. he was and a little was in a black and a little black notebook and the duchess in in america with the kids presumably . yes, she is indeed presumably. yes, she is indeed the two kids, of course , on the the two kids, of course, on the coronation day is actually archie's birthday almost on the 6th of may. so that was perhaps the reason why meghan, duchess of sussex, would not want to be at the coronation, but actually, over the last few months i've noficed over the last few months i've noticed has kept a pretty low profile to him, hasn't has

prince harry? yes, indeed . and prince harry? yes, indeed. and we have seen with the popular christie ratings, particularly in the united , who are in the united, who are traditionally more in of harry and meghan, more more they're more popular with the american audience. their popularity ratings have dipped . so perhaps ratings have dipped. so perhaps meghan with her celebrity appeal headis meghan with her celebrity appeal head is thinking, oh, this is not a good. it's interesting because the americans are actually taking the mickey out of them now, satire shows already. so they must aware that because look, people love the queen in america and the book is seen as an attack on the institution which she headed. i think it was always going to be a high risk strategy for harry and i think he's paying the price with this popularity. yeah, saw how yeah, i mean, we just saw how viral south park episode viral that south park episode when yes he was pretty hilarious so fictional prince so funny the fictional prince and princess of over with a remarkable likeness to harry and meghan on their worldwide tour. i think it was this is satires dream and comic's dream and it go viral. we haven't had official reactions to that from

the duke and duchess of sussex, but there were reports perhaps they were seeing if would sue over that episode. nice speaking you. i know but from speaking people within the sussex camp thatis people within the sussex camp that is you know you roll with the plan if they sue a cartoon they really are they all like you just you just go. it's part of being in the public eye. it happens with politicians happens to the of the privacy of andrew doyle right say don't doyle right know they say don't invite their privacy, do they? no, no , no, no, no. a very, very no, no, no, no, no. a very, very low profile indeed. cameron, thank you very for that update. more to come on that one, obviously, right? people more to come on that one, obvio been right? people more to come on that one, obviobeen arrested people more to come on that one, obviobeen arrested on eople more to come on that one, obviobeen arrested on suspicion have been arrested on suspicion of following a protest of assault following a protest hotel housing asylum seekers in newquay. devon and cornwall. police say around 20 protesters and hundred and 50. counter—protest items were involved in the demonstration over the weekend. ourselves west of england reporter jeff moody has story . newquay 2023 the

gb news. it's 1036. this gb news. it's1036. this is to the point on gb news with andrew pierce and dawn neesom. and britons have been reacting to rishi sunak new a zero tolerance approach to anti—social behaviour, which aims to make sure all members of the public can see punishment actually place. yeah. also south—east of england reporter ray addison , england reporter ray addison, when he went off to eastbourne and brighton and east sussex to find out if they any of it will

work, if it's just bit of a gimmickry. if you don't have the community with you, you can make any laws you want. they won't work sceptics warn rishi sunak plans to crack down on anti—social behaviour could fail unless parents start taking better responsibility . their better responsibility. their children. dubbed justice offenders be forced to clean up their vandal ism within 48 hours. however, some say this zero tolerance approach will fall at the first hurdle if communities don't step up. ken ross is a neighbourhood watch representative in eastbourne. these people don't come outside, certainly anti—social jobs. these people don't come outside, certainly anti—social jobs . they certainly anti—social jobs. they come from a home not, a lousy. the community itself has to look inwards and find where these people are coming from. these like the girls . they don't just like the girls. they don't just happen. like the girls. they don't just happen . wants to walk out the happen. wants to walk out the doon happen. wants to walk out the door. so they're all the time inside the house and more responsible . they should be responsible. they should be taken really , by by the parents.

taken really, by by the parents. last year, nearby brighton , last year, nearby brighton, close to 4500 cases of anti—social . that's around 20% anti—social. that's around 20% of all offences. simon charlton is the chair of the st luke's residents association . he says residents association. he says when communities do report crime, it's often ignored . in my crime, it's often ignored. in my particular area some really lovely buildings have had spray paint, spray paint, put all over them, unpleasant graffiti up on them, unpleasant graffiti up on the walls and generally it's just addressed by the councils even we report them rigorously and regularly. we just don't seem to get the follow up . if seem to get the follow up. if you take one of the hot spots for graffiti in my area, there are actually two cctv cameras focussed on that area. but ever since i've been chair, the residents association for the last three years, there have been no prosecutions to my knowledge . the government's £160 knowledge. the government's £160 million plan includes new funding for police and crime

commissioners to ensure that offenders are punished as soon as possible. katie bourne is the pcc for sussex . she says pcc for sussex. she says stopping anti—social is a top priority . once an area starts to priority. once an area starts to get graffiti , the whole area get graffiti, the whole area starts go down and then your anti—social behaviour increases. it's about prioritising what matters and local people tell me what to them is anti—social behaviour because that's the offending they see in their everyday lives and that's the bit that makes them feel less confident and an unsafe labour, says conservative cuts to neighbourhood policing have allowed offenders to get away without punishment. rishi sunak will be hoping this crackdown will be hoping this crackdown will get visible results quickly and increase public confidence that justice is being done . ray that justice is being done. ray addison . gb news well, a mixed addison. gb news well, a mixed reaction to that. yeah, i like that little sceptical ourselves about how good it is to make it

work. mm so we'll be talking about a bit more about that. we're to talk now about the horrific national shooting. pleased to be joined in the studio by john williams. she's head of culture education coach at policy exchange and of course at policy exchange and of course a political commentator . tonia a political commentator. tonia buxton now how more times are we going to wake up to this utterly tragic sorry to just just at the beginning. i'm not head of education. culture policy exchange. so i need to make that absolutely clear about that gets confused because you an and also that's much much better. thank you.thank that's much much better. thank you. thank you. but what's important is obviously gun important is obviously the gun attack, the school shooting , attack, the school shooting, another tragic story . and they another tragic story. and they come around all too frequently . come around all too frequently. it's just 129 mass shooting in america year. it's absolutely appalling. and, you know, i've got three children. if i was a mother in america, i'd be terrified. sending my children to with the prospect of something like this could happen, could become normalised. the problem is, when they become so free, they all tend to blur into one another. and i think we

have to look at what's actually distinctive , this particular distinctive, this particular case and think there are some important points that need to be drawn out , this particular drawn out, this particular attack. one thing that strikes me as significant and quite distinct about this attack is that it was it was committed by a male who , as a woman , this was a male who, as a woman, this was a male who, as a woman, this was a transgender shooter . and a male who, as a woman, this was a transgender shooter. and i think that's quite important to say, because in a lot of the coverage that follows in the newspapers this morning , coverage that follows in the newspapers this morning, we're heanng newspapers this morning, we're hearing about a woman who has committed a shooting of woman attacker. now incredibly rare. obviously, we know that that, again, tragically, these attacks are occurring all too frequent in the us. but the over majority of them are committed by men . of them are committed by men. and i think for us to understand the specific nature of what's going here and for us to have to record accurate statistics, it is important that we discuss a

man. this is a man who has been responsible for this crime. this a male who committed this crime . and when we look at it that way, it fits in much more in line with tragically , what we've line with tragically, what we've seen before. i heard on the radio this morning it was shocking to hear it being carried out by women. i thought what absolute rights that always never happens. exactly so that's issue i think is really important . obviously, the issue important. obviously, the issue that recurs when we hear about these is about the possibility of more bans, more restrictions on guns. yeah, obviously , that's on guns. yeah, obviously, that's something that does need to be considered. but i wonder in the whether the genie is out of bottle a little bit. there are so many guns that are in circulation already. how straightforward it would be, what a solution it would be, just to implement a ban when there are so guns seemingly already in the community. and i do think it's always worth beanng do think it's always worth bearing in mind it's a cliche phrase, perhaps, but it is

people that kill people , guns in people that kill people, guns in and of themselves telling you. what do you think? i just i think that main thing, what we're talking about, the fact this is a transient gender person, because if you are listening the audiences listening to the news audiences about you about as you said you automatically thought was a woman. yeah actually initially when they said was when they said it was transgender, was transgender, i thought it was a it other round. so it was the other way round. so it was the other way round. so it a man to female, it it wasn't a man to female, it was a female to man especially because see them walking because you see them walking with on i think you're with trousers on i think you're right. it's people, not guns that killed people, the laws that killed people, but the laws in america are there. just it's too just i can understand. it's part of the constitution. it is part of the constitution. it is part of the constitution. it is part of constitution . but part of the constitution. but that the guns that they that would be the guns that they are allowed to have just normal at weapons that at these automatic weapons that kill and kill and kill bang , kill and kill and kill bang, bang, bang, bang. whereas if you had gun, i can't had a single gun, i can't believe i'm sitting here talking about but it does a about guns, but it does make a difference. it makes the difference. it makes the difference child difference between one child being ten children being killed and ten children being killed and ten children being if you've got two being killed. if you've got two automatic weapons as this person had, then can you kill so had, then you can you kill so many more. the fact the many more. and the fact the

americans of shrug it americans just kind of shrug it off, a lot of them just shrug off. well part of our constitution. of that. constitution. one bit of that. but you can do finite differences that would reduce the amount deaths. the amount of deaths. but the main thing is, is something's very america for this very broken in america for this to be the way that that frustrates men things out frustrates men take things out on but dramatic . we were on people. but dramatic. we were talking about that. we both went conference and we went to two schools with with nuns and, schools with with with nuns and, you know , they were they were you know, they were they were mean . yeah. doesn't mean i'm mean. yeah. doesn't mean i'm going go pick up a gun and do going to go pick up a gun and do something terrible, but wonder if a religious school, if this is a religious school, this person transgender this person being transgender being up and having being quite mixed up and having a lot of resentment and why we went back because to go back and kill primary schoolchildren is it's breathtaking the evil, isn't it? it is. i mean , with isn't it? it is. i mean, with two assault rifles, i mean, you know , a small gun for protection know, a small gun for protection if you have to have guns to assault rifles. i mean, it's ridiculous. there is some confusion about whether this person was transitioning male, female, female to male at the moment. i mean, you know, the

police the shooter was named as old elizabeth. how use is the pronouns he him on their linkedin site so and police are saying yes they were transition in but they haven't given us any more detail so we're not entirely sure which this person was transitioning . but as was transitioning. but as i said, you know that the real tragedy is as three young children and three staff dead and no one's children should go to school and have their lives put it. it's just looking at what photograph on the screen of the killer, not just chilling. it's just like something like it's on. but they found , hasn't it's on. but they found, hasn't they? the police have found that it was really calculated. this wasn't kind of a feel wasn't some kind of a up. i feel rage. i'm to go and do something they planned this there is a pure evilness about this it's a categorically planet to mind you details the way they do. no and just come back on what you were saying, tonya, about the nature of the school . it says here that of the school. it says here that investigators believe the shooting stemmed some resentment. the suspect harboured for having to go to

that school as a child and right evil is obviously the right word to use here. but there's an incredible as well where you become so much the centre of your own universe and you think your own universe and you think your own universe and you think your own feelings so important that that even killing people is kind of justified as an act of revenge because of your own feelings. justify that and that's deeply disturbing . and i that's deeply disturbing. and i think it does raise all kinds of questions about the broader nature of society and how we're raising generation of young people politically . we, you people politically. we, you know, almost certainly the president of the united states will say again , we will will say not again, we will learn from this. are they learn from this. when are they going to fix it, actually do something all i you know something all i mean, you know that going to come out in that he's going to come out in 2020. there were thought 85,000 gun deaths in the united gun related deaths in the united states which 19,300 were states of which 19,300 were murders. that's small town in one. yeah. i mean, god saying just reading that it's actually it is the biggest killer of young children and teens are

appalled gun related. do you think it would be obesity something accidents and no other country comes close in the united states is way out followed by mexico which is a tiny percentage of this. it's just obviously, thankfully in this country, we had dunblane, which is the government legislated and fixed it . and legislated and fixed it. and funnily enough, we don't have guns now. so it's a big business, isn't it? it's a big business, isn't it? it's a big business and it's a big, you know, like the people that are backing guns are pay a lot of money. they lobby like crazy. and i just, i don't know how they sleep at night, you know, we do we talking about the nature of people and our ideologies how ideologies and our soul is how do these sleep at night. do these people sleep at night. yeah, mean, it is so i heard yeah, i mean, it is so i heard someone american on the radio this morning saying that this this morning saying that siren obviously siren americans obviously love their guns more and they love their guns more and they love their children. yeah i mean, just just one of the thing i think is worth pointing out here is that obviously, again, as we've saying all morning, is that obviously, again, as w

actually lot. lot was. actually been a lot. lot was. yes. and think we do have to yes. and i think we do have to take our hats off to the police in this instance, they shot and killed the attacker. and as for all i've read on this, it seems killed the attacker. and as for all ithe read on this, it seems killed the attacker. and as for all ithe attacker:his, it seems killed the attacker. and as for all ithe attacker would seems killed the attacker. and as for all ithe attacker would notns killed the attacker. and as for all ithe attacker would not have like the attacker would not have stopped had they not been killed and lot more people could have and a lot more people could have died. tragically, died. and again, tragically, we've incidents of we've seen other incidents of school shootings where the police have actually held one reason or another, have not rushed in to intervene. so i think in this instance, it is worth saying, you know, well done to those police officers. tragic for the six who were killed, but this could been a whole lot worse. mounting police. it just makes me believe that we arming the that we are not arming the police in this country. well, because slippery and because a slippery slope and many be armed many police want to be armed themselves to move on to something slightly lighter. gary lineker , he's he's in well, lineker, he's he's in well, what's mr. giving up? oh he's back. he's just saying he's saying that he had a verbal agreement that said that he could talk on certain things with tim davie that they could he about the refugees and

climate change as a two subject so he's just wouldn't back down and i just i'm one of these people i'm not into football at the best of times but but what i do feel is that he's football pundit. he's not anything else apart from talking of why i don't agree with my tax paying pound being paid to this man , pound being paid to this man, phenomenal amount of money being paid for this man. i don't agree for any football pundit to get that kind of money and just remind people £1.3 million can imagine how many young people can go through the bbc and start careers and with that careers and do stuff with that kind money. i don't kind of money. i just don't think worth i think think he's worth it. i think what they say is gold is not pounng what they say is gold is not pouring of his mouth when he speaks and then on top of that, he's woke self—righteous he's this woke self—righteous kid. actually of kid. did ever she actually of the immigrants still staying at his offered to have a his house he offered to have a say in a boyfriend who told comics house that he had i mean i am so sickened by man. i am so fed up of hearing him. i don't want to hear his opinions. he's a footballer . just talk about a footballer. just talk about what we ought to get too money

talking about back out of everything else. but i don't think he should be banned because i in freedom of because i believe in freedom of speech. i him , speech. i mean, i compare him, but i don't think that anybody should be forced to what should be forced to say what they general tim davie they want. general tim davie have an agreement have reached an agreement with one somebody one and not somebody else. exactly this is the exactly and for me, this is the key point here. i mean, i absolutely share your sentiment on in this on gary lineker, but in this story, when he sang the bbc agreed this deal. i think fooled the bbc . i agreed this deal. i think fooled the bbc. i mean, agreed this deal. i think fooled the bbc . i mean, how stupid must the bbc. i mean, how stupid must i be to have agreed that he's allowed to tweet whatever he likes about refugees and climate change? to me, that says actually more about the bbc than it does about cecilia, because running the bbc. exactly. but it also suggests that these. can we talk about institutional racism? institutional sexism? it says to me that the bbc is institutionally woke at that these values are kind of entrenched into that institution, that they're hostile alternative viewpoints and even more worrying that they don't see these issues around

migration and refugees and around the environment and net zero as even being political issues. they just want to see on some level see these as just being kind of common sense issues that everybody agrees on. and you know, everybody thinking just consensus. well, they feel, joe, they don't. but if but if you don't, you're either when it comes to climate change or you're a racist when it comes to the immigrants. so i'd like to see if because everyone that works for the bbc is woke so really i would really difficult, but i would have see them tweet have liked to see them tweet something that the bbc doesn't agree i don't drink agree with like i don't drink dunng agree with like i don't drink during for example, during lockdown, for example, questioning they questioning lockdown. then they would down him, but would have come down on him, but they because they won't come down him because all to publish all they want is to publish exactly what gary lineker be allowed to tweet. that, of course political statement course not a political statement . it's a political statement, really. and he also gets paid £1.3 million by a crisp man. fact yes. yeah. in an obesity crisis. yes. talking of which, we have story about food. yes we do. i mean, it's so they're talking about eating one meal a

day. and it's something that chris martin had talked the coldplay man, the coldplay man with springsteen . and they with springsteen. and they decided that they're going to eat one meal a day. so i have donei eat one meal a day. so i have done i was just saying to jonah in the green room that i've done all of these diets. so i've done fasting 24 hours, 48 fasting diets for 24 hours, 48 hours. longest was 56 hours. the longest i did was 56 hours. the longest i did was 56 hours. to be able to write hours. just to be able to write about and see what my mood and have my blood affected on it. now, for men, men are good now, for men, men are quite good on fasting the kind of hunter on fasting of the kind of hunter thing. you wanted to as thing. so if you wanted to as a man to do that, it would it would fine for women. it does would be fine for women. it does it a lot damage. it it does a lot of damage. it stops absorbing a lot of stops us from absorbing a lot of nutrients that we during the day. time is restricted day. i mean, time is restricted fasting doing a restricted fast from an 8:00 at night till 9:00 in the morning that's a 13 hour fast is really good for you it makes your body go into a tough veggie which obviously is when your random cells. your body eats random cells. there's of good stuff for there's lots of good stuff for it. but main point of this it. but the main point of this is where is the joy except maybe eating i can eating one, which i think, i can give all the nutritional

give you all the nutritional facts anything need, but facts and anything you need, but ultimately to be lived ultimately life has to be lived and that's what we've and that's think what we've forgotten is that you've forgotten a lot is that you've got to seek the joy in life and the biggest joys in life for me are eating and drinking. so what is into this ? like. is wine fit into this? like. yeah i know. i agree completely . for me, dinner is highlight of my day and if an embarrassing thing to say. well then i my hands empty i'm just going to need therapy and i'm thinking of you as a hunter gatherer. yeah. you can go out in your loincloth and hunter food and fast night from 8:00 to 9:00 tomorrow morning see how feel. feel morning to see how i feel. feel fantastic. yeah, you will feel fantastic. yeah, you will feel fantastic that that that kind of fast just good when you fast is just so good when you wake and you're hungry wake up and you're not hungry and energy . oh, oh, no, and you feel energy. oh, oh, no, no. i've got gatherer and no. i've got hunter gatherer and frisky. yeah i. well, yeah , frisky. yeah i. well, yeah, yeah, that's me . so the thing yeah, that's me. so the thing with dinner is it's not just about the food, is it? it's a social occasion. it is, you know, for leigh, i think, to get together with your family, to

talk about what you've been up to during the day and the fact that you do that over food, i think just makes it this real kind of convivial moment the day and remove that, to just see and to remove that, to just see food as kind of consuming certain number of calories a certain number of calories a certain period just makes certain time period just makes you quality of life. yeah, i agree. i might eat in that one meal, but they try kind of fortify with with with lots of nutrients. but the main thing is, is like a of these kind of technocrats, a lot of the silicon valley boys, they then they're almost nonhuman and they don't the same kind of feelings they would take a because to eat there's they don't really get there's they don't really get the joy of food it'll be something green and slime and yes we need to move on more you can hunt down lunch for that big boy. and after the break, we'll have all the analysis or head humza expected humza yousaf expected appointment expected. it's going to happen . it appointment expected. it's going to happen. it is appointment expected. it's going to happen . it is scotland's new to happen. it is scotland's new first minister later today. this is the point on gb news hello is to the point on gb news hello again. it's aidan mcgivern here with the latest weather from .

gender without even consulting a doctor. i know i do find doctor. yes i know i do find that quite rishi sunak, of course, as the prime minister of the united kingdom has triggered legislation which he can use when thinks it's something when he thinks it's something affects the united kingdom, because it would because of course it would affect passed by affect the legislation passed by the parliament in westminster. so it's actually illegal at the moment isn't it, to do it moment then, isn't it, to do it at moment? but it's the at the moment? but it's the first thing he's doing as the new snp taking on westminster new snp is taking on westminster . and i guess for the tories , . and i guess for the tories, labour support the policy too. yeah absolutely. it's going to be fascinating. watch, isn't it? right as i said, the 37 youths are set to be sworn in this afternoon and he is going to challenge that straight away. that's exactly what brought nicola down, though, wasn't it? i right now joining us for more analysis is former labour analysis is the former labour adviser and political commentator kevin marshall. good morning , kevin, you're somewhere morning, kevin, you're somewhere down the line. it's not you down the line. so it's not you that are. good morning, mr. that you are. good morning, mr. sheffield. to you sheffield. good morning to you both the warning. both. thank you for the warning. right. well, what do make of

right. well, what do you make of what's in scotland. what's happened in scotland. i think fairly predictable. think it's fairly predictable. i mean, i think humza yousaf has been picked from the very, very start as the continuity candidate. he was the favourite of nicola sturgeon, of course. and that the snp party machine of course run by nicola sturgeon's husband, this is a very small, very small gene pool in terms, in terms political organisation , you know he's organisation, you know he's been, he's been the front runner i guess throughout this contest there's been a lot of noise about kate forbes. of course, the finance secretary, particularly christian particularly her christian beliefs, which a lot of a beliefs, which which a lot of a lot of fluttering, a lot of noise the start of this noise at the start of this campaign. think it's campaign. but i think it's probably been probably always been humza yousaf now been around yousaf to lose. now been around in snp forever, basically as a as a party staffer , as as a party staffer, as a researcher, kind of classic modern political career trajectory. he's been the transport minister there. he's been the health minister, he's been the health minister, he's been the health minister, he's been the justice secretary as well . so he's been the justice secretary as well. so he's been all right. but the difficulty for him is

that he doesn't necessarily impress in all these roles he's got there's been a lot of backbiting throughout this campaign and some of it of it very publicly done as well by the other candidates about juice his record in government and what critics argue is his lack of achievement and lack of judgement. so it's going to be interesting to see how he with with sturgeon. i mean, you know, sturgeon's worst critic would probably concede, you know, she's been a very fluid performer for the last two years, whether not people would agree with her record or her intentions, that's one thing. but she you know, she's a class politically so there's a that seats are used to kind of match up to and we'll find out very quickly whether he's capable of doing as, say, you doing that now as, say, you know, initial foray is to is know, his initial foray is to is to all this issue about the gender recognition legislation , gender recognition legislation, the collision course. it will be with westminster in that regard , in that process, he is very much the continuity sturgeon candidate policy terms . but i

candidate policy terms. but i mean it's going to be it's going to be interesting to see what he doesin to be interesting to see what he does in terms of setting a direction for it, for a fresh referendum on scottish independence. there's clear independence. there's no clear pathway to happen. so he's pathway for to happen. so he's got his work cut out there and it probably seems a little bit like, know, the comfort of a like, you know, the comfort of a use of administration is, you know, is that kind of just to politics and pleasing the kind of in government the government with rather in the sense that then trying to sort of sell the snp historic mission for independence to the unaligned and the people who are not so far persuaded that little indication this election campaign that we've just seen that any the candidates frankly have much idea in that regard. but i particularly use of but i think particularly use of he playing to the gallery he was playing to the gallery pretty throughout and as pretty much throughout and as you mentioned that came in because of in of because of course in one of those all three of the those debates, all three of the candidates they would candidates said that they would they would deliver they would be able to deliver independence within five years. talk just talk about telling a, it's just not plausible. realistic. there's absolutely no prospect of it . it

there's absolutely no prospect of it. it hangs around this issue of scottish independence not going to go away simply because there's so many snp mp in westminster and simply because the snp is pretty well dug in over there in holyrood. now we'll see with use of whether there's any erosion of that support and whether the party gets back in the game, which is which is a possibility in places, but you know i'm in some places, but you know i'm not seen anything in not seen anything necessarily in the suggests the polls that suggests as an snp meltdown, the fact snp meltdown, despite the fact this this leadership election has been , you know, an absolute has been, you know, an absolute shambles for them from start to finish. i mean, they really add all their laundry and all their dirty laundry and pubuc all their dirty laundry and public in a very kind of public know in a very kind of damaging way. the question damaging way. now, the question is they a of is whether they all a sort of sigh , sort of deep breath of sigh, sort of deep breath of look over the precipice and look, you know, we very nearly blew it let's pull back from that and let's try and let's try to coalesce around around use of the as a new leader. but you know, this being scottish politics, it does tend to tend to breed long term animosity is you know, we'll see that. we'll see how that pans out. so it's

going to be tested in the next in next westminster election, next year. let's see how the snp do then and then the do that and then and then the composition of the next parliament think going to parliament i think is going to be absolutely telling about whether snp as potentially whether the snp as potentially as kingmakers to either a minority labour government or a minority labour government or a minority conservative government, whether they can leverage support to get leverage their support to get another in the next another referendum in the next parliament, which will be, you know, from from know, some way on from from 2014. so it's kind of all to play 2014. so it's kind of all to play for them. but they've shown, you know, throughout this campaign very for campaign, it's very easy for them to absolutely blow . and them to absolutely blow. and they they they put they didn't they they don't put themselves light themselves in a positive light at rather than on the at all. and rather than on the economy and winning around, you know , the undecided scottish know, the undecided scottish voters and keeping support hovering around the 50% mark and growing it, they've kind of just played to the gallery. so the question whether you can question is whether you can actually bit of actually have a bit of a lifetime put the gesture politics to one side and actually convince the undecided in scotland to a yet to yet to back independence . all right. back independence. all right. that's kevin marr. thanks so much joining business

much forjoining us. business stresses you know that this is it's going to weaponized here it's going to be weaponized here you minister and you were transport minister and the were never on time the trains were never on time when justice secretary. when you were justice secretary. the stretched the police were stretched to breaking and now health breaking point and now as health minister, we've got record waiting. that abusive ? by waiting. is that so abusive? by kate forbes, the finance secretary who was narrowly beaten narrowly. it beaten by him very narrowly. it was the result of the referendum was the result of the referendum was all the vote was very similar to brexit. what that said have another poll. no, said we have another poll. no, no, let's not have no, no, no, no. let's not have another ever. either of another vote ever. either of those two things. no but you know i just want can know what? i just want i can i would just like one political party not be and party to not be divided and fight itself. good fight it amongst itself. good luck with that. talking of luck with that. now, talking of divisions governing body is today going to vote on a proposal led by keir starmer who wants to boot? jeremy corbyn effectively of the labour wants to boot? jeremy corbyn effectand' of the labour wants to boot? jeremy corbyn effectand stopping1e labour wants to boot? jeremy corbyn effectand stopping being our party and stopping being a labour candidate in next general election. now remember, jeremy corbyn from in 2015 corbyn was deeply from in 2015 to 2019 and has been an mp 40 years. well, two years. and he was backed in 2019 by one. keir starmer one 2017. the idea was to elect how can we forget theresa may election elections

come along nearly as often as tory prime ministers yes, right. okay. so former labour leader said that he was not going anywhere though, didn't he? i mean, i'm 40 years i'm staying here. exactly we're going to speak to our deputy political edhon speak to our deputy political editor, tom harwood on what to expect because he is expect next because he is outside hq victorian . outside labour hq in victorian. tom yes, good morning, andrew . tom yes, good morning, andrew. it is an interesting day because of course this has been an estrangement that has been growing for some time between keir starmer's leadership of the labour party and his direct predecessor , jeremy corbyn. predecessor, jeremy corbyn. jeremy corbyn of course, labour member , a member of the labour member, a member of the labour party since the age of 60, a member of parliament for 40 years representing islington nonh years representing islington north for the labour party and of course twice as labour party by the labour membership . today by the labour membership. today he faces a motion from his successor in order to boot him out from being able to stand as a labour mp again. but the

fascinating thing about this motion that's being presented to the nsc this afternoon is that it doesn't mention , on the face it doesn't mention, on the face of its anti—semitism now of course the reason why jeremy corbyn is an independent member of parliament as we speak , of parliament as we speak, reason why he does not represent the labour party in parliament. he was suspended of that honour if that's role due to his denial of the scale of anti—semitism within the labour party. following that, he see reports , following that, he see reports, jeremy corbyn said that it had been exact rated the scale of anti—semitism and he refused to apologise to the jewish community for those remarks . community for those remarks. that's why he was suspended. however that doesn't appear on the motion . the motion is all the motion. the motion is all about electability, mentioning how jeremy corbyn led the labour party their worst defeat since 35 and persuades the members of the ndc . whether there is the ndc. whether there is a slight process majority that

jeremy corbyn should not be readmitted for electoral reasons rather than any around the issue of antisemitism . and mr. or will of antisemitism. and mr. or will it be hotly contested at the nsc today. it be hotly contested at the nsc today . well, of course there are today. well, of course there are those on the on the nsc who are supporters of jeremy corbyn. they, of course, used to hold a majority on that committee. but there are elections for that committee that have seen the starmer riots, if you will, are not sure that that's ever been a phrase, but we'll use it today for want of a better one. they have taken a slight majority around that table. and so it is highly likely that this will pass today. i don't think that sir keir would have put his name on this were it not sets to pass. but it does expose some fissures within the labor party. of course we know that there a huge number of members who backs jeremy corbyn, who supported him

. there are many members of parliament, of course , all parliament, of course, all labour members of parliament stood a manifesto in 2019, wanting to make jeremy corbyn prime minister. it's a remarkable shift to have happens in such short amount of time and some may be asking the question how genuine. is this immediate change of heart because after all, the labour leadership was saying very different things just a few years ago . that's tom just a few years ago. that's tom harwood objective political editor outside labour hq. now to some breaking news nicola sturgeon has now officially tendered her resignation as first minister. she was, after over eight years, she's signed her formal letter of resignation. she's departed official residence, which is called gatehouse times. it's very nice, by the way, i'm so next stop, scottish parliament to vote proudly her. humza to vote proudly for her. humza yousaf, scotland first yousaf, the scotland six first minister thank minister from me for now. thank you the privilege. you scotland for the privilege. it's for now. but since the sort of like sends me she's not going

she's not being on a public sort of get the impression she's sitting right behind successor . sitting right behind successor. yeah he did say he's going to keep her on speed record. oh yeah big mistake indeed . let's yeah big mistake indeed. let's move on to the shopping. i think we should shop inflation hit record highs again this morning with sugar based products are leading the rise and pressure is on for the bank of england governor to get a hold of the economy. andrew bailey economy. but andrew bailey blames early retirement for high interest rates and rising inflation. and he's just been joined senior officials at the treasury committee. he's been giving evidence now to discuss it all. is this i mean there's i think knows a lot more about economic than andrew bailey our very own business and economics editor liam halligan. it does me no favours. what does he no favours. yeah. what does he mean? retirement mean? it's early retirement causing interest rates. causing and high interest rates. well there's there are well is there's there are various andrew bailey speech is going on it's a bit of an andrew bailey pr onslaught yesterday he gave a at the london school of economics in which he said that because the workforce has shrunk

because the workforce has shrunk because a lot of people between age 50 and 60 haven't returned to work after the workforce has shrunk, said by about 130,000 people. it's not very much is less than half 1% of the workforce. but he's saying that's enough to have led to labour shortages, which has pushed up inflation. this is part of a trend some people are spotting where andrew bailey likes to blame everybody else . likes to blame everybody else. me of economics where. so last week he was saying oh it's all companies fault the inflation's happening because they keep putting their prices up but if you're a company and you're the cost of all your inputs has gone up and you don't put your prices up, then you're going to go bust. having said that, he has got point. some companies have been price gouging been we call price gouging taking of an taking advance edge of an inflationary environment. it inflationary environment. and it is labour force is is true that the labour force is tighter. what we heard from tighter. and what we heard from him this morning was the treasury select committee. this is a cross—party committee of mps and in today's intervention and andrew bailey was trying to

the public specifically not so much about inflation. we'll come back to that dawn but about the banking crisis we've seen silicon valley bank collapse in the us . that's the biggest bank the us. that's the biggest bank failure in america since lehman brothers of course brothers in 2008. and of course we saw suisse collapse we saw credit suisse collapse into the arms of its bigger rival, ubs , switzerland, credit rival, ubs, switzerland, credit suisse, one of the top 30 banks in the world. so let's just have a little listen to andrew bailey as he tried reassure as he tried to reassure employees in the commons this morning that all morning and indeed that it's all going fine . i don't think going to be fine. i don't think any of and we've said this that of these features cause stress the uk banking system i think we are all in the place we were in in two thousand and seven. it's very different place to then, but we have to be very so you know, if i give you the answer i don't think there's a problem forwards i do not want to give forwards i do not want to give for a moment the idea that we are not very vigilant because we are not very vigilant because we are we are in a period of very heightened, you frankly,

heightened, you know, frankly, tension and alertness. we tension and alertness. and we will being against and will go on being against and listen to grocery price, food inflation, pretty grim . yeah. inflation, pretty grim. yeah. he's saying this against the backdrop of inflation just on what he about banking yeah yeah. mandy rice davis he would say that wouldn't he's talking about alertness and vigilance because alertness and vigilance because a lot of people think andrew bailey in the bank of england for months and months and months wouldn't rates to slow wouldn't interest rates to slow the inflation was over double its target and they were still saying it's planned transitory don't about it i don't don't worry about it i don't inflation we saw last week of course that inflation went up. it went to 10.4% in february. we thought it was going come down and we've had kind of corroboration of that with private sector numbers . there's private sector numbers. there's a consultancy called kantor, a nice survey , particularly the nice survey, particularly the price of food in supermarkets. and we've got some numbers from them out this morning and cancel show that in march 2023. so this month, that's just ending food

were up 17.5% year on year. that's compared to march 2022 is a lot. and that's a higher than overall inflation was up by 10.4% in february. as i said , 10.4% in february. as i said, annual food shopping bill for the average family because of inflation says cancel is £837 more a year . inflation says cancel is £837 more a year. really sizeable chunk bank your holiday right a lot of money and it's eggs milk and cheese are up most sharply . and cheese are up most sharply. look i actually reckon that this february or march food price is a bit of a blip. i do think inflation's going to come down towards the end of the year? i do think rishi sunak is going to come down to 2.9. i do think it's going to come down at least below 4% from double digits. now but if you about it, it but if you think about it, it was february, march last year was in february, march last year that prices really spiked that food prices really spiked because you had war in ukraine. suddenly coming onto everyone's radar. suddenly everyone realised, crikey, the russians and the ukrainians they produce and the ukrainians they produce a of grain they. hoo a lot of grain don't they. hoo who'd thunk it. have who'd have thunk it. have no history books. would have history books. i would have

known once food price spike known so once food price spike from year comes out the from last year comes out the numbers. i do think these numbers. i do think these numbers will come down. but look , about prices not , this is all about prices not going as they were . going up as fast as they were. that's what happens when inflation ends . it's not about inflation ends. it's not about pnces inflation ends. it's not about prices actually falling back prices actually falling or back to they time to where they were this time yeah to where they were this time year. cost of living year. so this cost of living squeeze will continue. liam halligan. yeah, so knows more than the well actually all us old folk and i to get back old folk and i need to get back to work obviously pretty urgently. otherwise what if i buy well, know buy food? well, they know exactly exactly. still exactly exactly. now, still to come i've been arrested come to prove i've been arrested on assault on suspicion of assault following at a hotel, following a protest at a hotel, refugees newquay .

it's 1127 with andrew pierce and dawn neesom on gb news. this is to the point two people have been arrested on suspicion of assault after a protest at a hotel housing asylum seekers in newquay devon and cornwall. newquay, devon and cornwall. police say around protesters police say around 20 protesters and 150 counterprotesters were involved in demonstration involved in the demonstration over weekend. well, let's over the weekend. well, let's get analysis from the

get more analysis from the former uk border former director of the uk border force, smith . tony, morning former director of the uk border fo you smith . tony, morning former director of the uk border fo you . smith . tony, morning former director of the uk border fo you . appreciate tony, morning former director of the uk border fo you . appreciate you're �*norning former director of the uk border fo you . appreciate you're not1ing to you. appreciate you're not there . this is all this is there. this is all this is pretty unfortunate and pretty . pretty unfortunate and pretty. good morning, andrew. yes, well, it is. of course it is, because know, we don't want to see unrest in our communities is as a result of migrant being housed in hotels . and as you know, this in hotels. and as you know, this is a massive problem, the government. we have very government. we have a very significant asylum significant number of asylum seekers refugees housed in seekers and refugees housed in hotels country . and hotels across the country. and some feel that's not some people feel that's not okay. and they want to make they want to make protest about it. and unfortunately, there are elements clearly on both of the argument that may be disruptive that would cause a police presence. so i think it just continues to reinforce, andrew, the need . the government get the need. the government get a grip of the boats crisis and let's hope that the latest measures they're introducing work towards stopping the boats from going altogether . said from going altogether. said they're also going to try and get people out of these hotels.

aren't telling you they're aren't they telling you they're talking disused talking about using disused airfields , military bases and airfields, military bases and ferries that some of the stuff they talked about . the whole they talked about. the whole thing to different cohorts thing is to different cohorts that people need to understand i think who in the hotels as refugees andrew that were ianed refugees andrew that were invited under the scheme to come here these were people that are refugees have been accepted as refugees have been accepted as refugees are by us but they're still in hotels and that can't be right . i still in hotels and that can't be right. i think if we are going to welcome people on a safe and legal routes, they need to be properly integrated into our so but there our communities. so but there are a very large number of people who invited to people who weren't invited to come here, who came here uninvited boats from uninvited in small boats from a range of different nationalities who also housed in hotels. who are also housed in hotels. so the government so i think what the government needs do just and needs to do is to just and clearly distinguish those, welcome are entitled to be welcome those are entitled to be here permission to be here that have permission to be here, that are legally here into our communities. impact our communities. do the impact assessments communities . assessments on the communities. but the rest of them , but then for the rest of them, there is very severe problem, there is a very severe problem, isn't there? because we've got 150,000 people now in a silent backlog in the home office that

have yet to be resolved. we seeing large numbers coming across boats. so i think the new illegal migration bill is very relevant here and to what's to happen. and i followed the debate quite closely. i thought you did as well in the house of commons, just a very broad range of this. but what we need to do about i think is about that, i think there is genuinely consensus across the house need to the boats. house that we need to the boats. what's left there how we go what's left there is how we go about doing and i think about doing that. and i think this going play for this is going to play out for the government a very severe coverage for the next months all of this year is as these of this this year is as these policies unfold , to get a grip policies unfold, to get a grip of the border because if we get a grip of the border , i think a grip of the border, i think that people will more that know people will be more comfortable. think people comfortable. i think people genuinely comfortable genuinely are more comfortable if and, legal if routes are safe and, legal and people are welcomed here, we've done with ukraine, we've done that with ukraine, with kong . but when we see with hong kong. but when we see people who are not welcome to coming some of them coming illegally, some of them potentially not properly screened, security screened, potentially. security concerns get concerns about people get rightly concerned that when we're not actually controlling this. i think the real issue for

the government is how do we get control how do we start to decant people from these hotels, distinguish those that are allowed to stay here and give them status and into it and make sure that those aren't allowed to here, removed in the to stay here, removed in the territory. that's the challenge and one for the and it's a very big one for the home tell you, you home office. as i tell you, you have more experience most have more experience than most people area. so people in this this area. so what would you what would if you were if you were in charge of this situation? now, what the first what is the first thing you do, what is the to question? there's no to this question? there's no sense simple answer at all. and if was would been if there was would have been found a range of found by now. it's a range of measures. i think the government are doing everything they can. the is to the first thing is to reduce intake boats. and i think we've done quite a lot of work with france, different france, people of different views we are seeing views on that. but we are seeing some evidence that are some evidence that gangs are being the french being disrupted. the french side, are being pushed side, the boats are being pushed further the albanians further south. the albanians have by and large, you have stopped by and large, you know, because we've started returning to albania if returning people to albania if we start getting returns we can start getting returns going of other cohorts potentially to rwanda, that will send message to get the intake

send a message to get the intake down. the first thing is get the intake down. second thing is intake down. the second thing is to those that are to deal with those that are already here we need to have already here and we need to have already here and we need to have a plan, a concerted plan to clear backlog, settle those that are entitled to say. and there's are entitled to say. and there's a impact on communities a very big impact on communities how integrate people our how we integrate people into our communities, haven't communities, which we haven't really focussed so a lot of really focussed on. so a lot of work done on this. it's work to be done on this. it's not no no magic bullet, but i think the government are trying their best. they're right their best. they're on the right line, starting with decanting people , particularly people from hotels, particularly those that are entitled to be here and integrating them into our communities for you. and thank you much for joining our communities for you. and thank you much forjoining us thank you so much forjoining us this morning. that's tony smith, thank you so much forjoining us thisformerig. that's tony smith, thank you so much forjoining us thisformer director,; tony smith, thank you so much forjoining us thisformer director, border'ymith, the former director, border force. still to does the former director, border f( humza still to does the former director, border f(humza yousaf l to does the former director, border f(humza yousaf appointments the former director, border f(humza yousaf appointment as a humza yousaf appointment as snp leader for women in scotland. we're find out after the morning news with tamsin roberts . dawn, thanks very much roberts. dawn, thanks very much . here are the headlines from the gb newsroom at 1132, the prime will be grilled by syria

hello welcome back. it's 1138. you're with to the point on gb news with andrew pierce. that's him. and then they split to me, just in case i'm confused. it's very easily done. actually, i make the player eyes . right. make the player eyes. right. thank you. i'm not helping today. right. joining us for another look at today's papers, i'm pleased to be joined by author and academic joanna williams. welcome back . and the williams. welcome back. and the lovely political commentator tony buxton joining. he's just

met his reunited party. right? okay we have to start with the serious story of the day. the overnight happening from america with with . the another mass with with. the another mass shooting in another where the story is just three children horrific , three children, three horrific, three children, three staff, a 28 year old, former at the religious private school. very nice area of town, obviously. details are still sketchy on what actually happened. sketchy on what actually happened . two assault rifles happened. two assault rifles credible. why? why, why? that's why are they when do they when are they going to learn? i how many children and people need to die? assault rifles are not okay. it's not okay for people to have assault in their homes. i can it's part of the it constitution that they are allowed to bear arms, fine bear arms have a gun that six bullets that goes bang, bang, bang. assault rifles that can kill, you know, tens of hunting. i

think there are more guns in america than people and the population of america is 330 million. if you're telling me that it makes my blood run cold, it's just so, so frightening. yeah. when are they going to do something about it? i mean, biden's there. he's in power now, allegedly. so why isn't he doing something? it's all very well up and say, well, this well come up and say, well, this must all this stuff. must change. and all this stuff. as said when are as you said earlier, when are they actually to act on they actually going to act on it? won't because there's it? but won't because there's too all? too much money behind all? i think one problem is with all those guns in, circulation, a simple ban, why remove those guns circulation? so guns from circulation? so i think have actually look a think we have to actually look a bit , and consider bit deeper, try and consider what's going in american culture, what is it about culture, what what is it about this society that that somehow creates conditions where people are feeling able and want? and this is 120 nights mass shooting and let me yeah. this year we're not even at the end of march. semi—automatics are legal still, despite those shootings. and despite all those shootings. and they say i mean the same . they they say i mean the same. they say, are going to do this

say, we are going to do this we're going to tackle this problem. and they never do. because, reason is because, you know, the reason is political. yeah. because if you take they're take on that gun, they're not going elected. but going to get elected. but i mean, even obama who won the presidency nobel peace presidency won the nobel peace prize presidency won the nobel peace pfize and presidency won the nobel peace prize and say, well, for prize that and say, well, for again, quite after three weeks. yeah, but even he who i think had control of both houses for a while didn't do anything about it so that's why they are shame on them shame on someone like obama who everybody thinks is like this haloed saint he had the chance so this is really because he did have control of both houses. this is on his because he had the power to maybe at least start something. but didn't even start but he didn't even start anything. i one problem, anything. i think one problem, though, is that though, as well is that we mustn't the responsibility mustn't take the responsibility off the person, the individual involved in this case. i mean , involved in this case. i mean, you know, we can blame guns. and clearly there are too many guns in circulation in the us but but this was an individual and horrible thing to say but if somebody is determined to commit an act like that i they're going to find a weapon somewhere or

we've seen horrendous attack vehicle attacks the uk in europe why guns are not as freely available and i actually think focusing on what it about individuals that them carry out acts this is the part of the equafion acts this is the part of the equation that we need to be thinking of here. yeah i suppose if you grow up in a house where mum daddy have guns in the sideboard court, i mean it just, it just is just normal nature, it's just, but it's still not normal to go and shoot someone. it's still not normal do that. so, so they kind of like i said, i mean, agree with you, you know, they can use knives or cars or whatever. but if you have semi—automatic have these semi—automatic weapons does minimise the number of people that can die. these people are going to carry these attacks. i just think one attacks. and i just think one step that america take, step that america could take, you're need to look at you're right. we need to look at society the people and society and the people and whatever. sean they whatever. but if sean lee, they can the lobby to can get it through the lobby to have a an amnesty, all these semi—automatic weapons , then, semi—automatic weapons, then, yes, here's your licence.

yes, you here's your licence. you this one. so at least you have this one. so at least it's a small to reducing the number kids. i mean if this person only had a kind of shooting pistol , how person only had a kind of shooting pistol, how many were they killed before police they killed before the police got in and killed them? it wouldn't okay. wouldn't have been six. okay. so, i mean, i think we'll all send our thoughts to the family of a nine year old who lost their life simply going to school. what do to school. right. so what do to return light in this mood of it should? we talk about jerry hall's frock. yes. fashion experts . not me. not me. no, not experts. not me. not me. no, not me , quite frankly. who selected me, quite frankly. who selected idea just because it just made me it just made me laugh . made me it just made me laugh. made me it just made me laugh. made me smile. and it's like , you me smile. and it's like, you know, jerry hall sticking up her fingers at murdoch to say, you know, like, you know, murdoch , know, like, you know, murdoch, she's she's in this advertising campaign for mogul and it's the same type of dress that princess diana wore when . she wore her diana wore when. she wore her revenge dress, which was by a greek designer, which i'd like to shout out. but i thought under the name now, sophia something or the and it's like kind the shoulder, very kind of off the shoulder, very hourglass black dress and.

hourglass short black dress and. and she looks amazing. and how old did we say she was in 66. and of course diana was at the serpentine it the serpentine gallery. it was the night going to be night it was going to be broadcast on the jonathan broadcast panel on the jonathan that prince charles had been had an adulterous with camilla like we were surprised that yeah and that was her way of saying look at what he's turned down. yeah yeah exactly. yeah charles who and this is what she's done after she's been rejected and she looks amazing in it. and i just think there's something quite empowering you quite empowering about, you know, that, you know, everybody thinks that, you know, you're going sit there crying the corner . but she crying in the corner. but she didn't was that diane didn't she was that diane winston the queen, that phrase wasn't revenge. yes. yeah so you know exactly what she was doing . a slightly cut up the leg . just a slightly cut up the leg . it's just so . yeah, yeah. it's just so wonderful to an older woman wonderful to see an older woman kind being set. yeah, yeah, kind of being set. yeah, yeah, yeah. word and happy in her own skin as well. and think that's skin as well. and i think that's the form of revenge. just the best form of revenge. just how happy looks and mean, the best form of revenge. just hthe1appy looks and mean, the best form of revenge. just hthe person looks and mean, the best form of revenge. just hthe person i'mooks and mean, the best form of revenge. just hthe person i'm thinking mean, the best form of revenge. just hthe person i'm thinking ofnean, the best form of revenge. just hthe person i'm thinking of is an, i the person i'm thinking of is a similar age madonna who a woman similar age madonna who has kind of really got . age.

has kind of really got. age. interestingly no sitting comfortably in her own skin and somebody else's skin but she just looks frightening. yeah she looks very poor any day. and i love madonna because you know, i'm a child of the eighties so kind of loved growing up then and up until about ten years ago she just continues to grow. she keeps a self in great shape. but then this face. yeah and then you've got jerry who of course is having bits of work done here and but done so subtly and and there but done so subtly and so . yes. and you so beautifully. yes. and you know, quite a bit of name know, it's quite a bit of name to at a party to me. i met her at a party a couple years ago. she was magnificent. she was funny charm. ming, tall, beautiful, puffing loud and she even made smoking an elegant which of course is not recommended. swigging her large glass of whatever she was drinking and she was encouraging. she likes write. she doesn't. yeah, yeah . write. she doesn't. yeah, yeah. no that's good for her. and doing it for. older women everywhere i go girls not i about so you right and let's

move on to something else joanna.i move on to something else joanna. i think this is your story. this is sewage pollution story. this is sewage pollution story from the time . yes the story from the time. yes the water companies have finally admitted that there is a problem with sewage . and what's more, with sewage. and what's more, they are saying that they all to take some blame for as well which is quite a big because it seems that they've really been passing the buck an awful lot in this and i'm blaming and blaming householders always somebody else but you know what's really annoying because i wish i could be that in accepting some responsibility also meant they were going to pay for putting this right. i kind of still suspect that it will be household as you see that water but how about they're going to be fined. they have to go. absolutely. big fines now used be it used to be up to quarter of a million and now they're talking to 25 million bosses. it's millions in bonuses. it's

been cheaper to be fined than to actually get clean water, to take the dirty stuff away. yeah. and as you said, and the directors who get these fat inflated dividends should have them withdrawn. yeah, exactly. i mean , main isn't it, mean, the main thing, isn't it, in this country, in countries across , the world, these big fat across, the world, these big fat cats seem be rewarded for incompetence . yeah. how does incompetence. yeah. how does that continue to happen ? it's that continue to happen? it's more incomes. it's almost more than incomes. it's almost criminally negligent. stuff criminally negligent. yes. stuff into . the water the people into. the water and the people who are those consumers. who suffer are those consumers. and. actually having water and. and actually having water should be really fundamental . should be really fundamental. yeah. thing for people to have access to nobody. nobody in 2023 should be worrying about being able to afford to pay their water bill. and yet our bills do just creep up and up and you have you have no choice but to pay have you have no choice but to pay it. and we go to the you know, we're aware of a cost food get more expensive and you can make choices in that direction. but this is one thing you have absolutely no choice over. and

yet being penalised for yet we're being penalised for this become some kind of this having become some kind of consumer commodity that people are profiting off. the old days of sharing a bath with your mates . but we could not just mates. but we could not just take their dividends away. we should make them drink the water. yes, they pollute . water. yes, they pollute. absolutely brilliant. that kettle that reminds me of the erin brockovich show, when they when they got all those millions from company and they they from the company and they they kind they brought kind put they said they brought the in, especially from the water in, especially from the water in, especially from the that was being the town that was being poisoned. said, we poisoned. and they said, we bought you. and all bought it for you. and they all went didn't do that. no, no went and didn't do that. no, no , no. it's all about that law having what's put in their kettles . yeah. sadly worrying it kettles. yeah. sadly worrying it would stop , it would stop it would stop, it would stop it overnight. it will. you did take this to you didn't you. earlier on me tony made it as lovely as well . by the way, i think we've well. by the way, i think we've got time for one quick got time for one more quick story anyone , want to guess, can story anyone, want to guess, can italk story anyone, want to guess, can i talk about king charles? he's saying to harry i know, i know we don't you know, fed up of it. but no, no. as a parent, i

wouldn't be making time for my child. that has been rude about my partner . so child. that has been rude about my partner. so rude about my other children , my other child. other children, my other child. i think it's a really good lesson. you know, he's because god, he's such a weak, pathetic man. harry, i actually feel really sorry for i think he's in some kind of i don't know. i don't know what's wrong with him. i don't think he doesn't look doesn't happy. he look he doesn't look happy. he looks got some kind of looks like he's got some kind of you know, he's locked in. he's he frightened all time. he he looks frightened all time. he looks angry all the time. that's not not the harrowing. not that's not the harrowing. see married? not see him getting married? i'm not blaming i'm going to blaming her, but i'm going to blaming her, but i'm going to blaming but he has blaming his weakness. but he has been horrible to his father . he been horrible to his father. he has disgusting about his has been disgusting about his father's wife he has been father's wife and he has been horrible to both his brother and his sister in law. why would they see him ? don't they make time to see him? don't you think they should rise above it, he's big no it, though he's a big enough. no i what? harry stone. i i think. what? harry stone. i mean, to add to everything that tonya said, that completely tonya said, that i completely agree with, you know, he's breached is the breached trust. this is the problem. mean, if i problem. i mean, if i was charles and arranged the

meeting, you'd be at the back of your mind. is he bringing a camera crew? does he it exactly. exactly or will this come out in version volume three of the biography? because nobody has told us there's enough for two more editions and his wife's writing a book totally . and when writing a book totally. and when that trust is undermined in a family relationship like that, it's a really thing to have to piece back together and, you know, be nice perhaps to think that they can . don't know that i that they can. don't know that i can. i don't think i think it's pretty much what that i think. there's too much hurt too panic feud in such a public and he's doing it to monetise his a fat life in the united states how many bathrooms is that i know we need do they really need nine but they want that. please fun. you know, i'm sure they want their privacy. yeah. they to figure i still find it. absolutely astonishing how we've gotten from the queen who didn't a lot of wrong never complain. that's explained so this she the royal family make the crown look

quite taste i mean this is like this is like shameless in a palace no i mean what the queen had was real stoicism and think that's what we all respected her for exactly as you say the never complain never explain but but she kind of was just this solid figure in all our lives. and yet you've got this new generation. harriet different. harry and meghan at the forefront of kind of just public emoting . yeah, of just public emoting. yeah, there's nothing that that they're not prepared to share, you know? i know so many details about harry. i just wish about harry. ijust wish i didn't. yeah yeah. no and the queen was the soul discretion. well, the only thing we knew. we know she loved horse . yeah. know she loved horse. yeah. which prime minister she liked the most books in which said was him. but we don't know. we didn't know her political views and. we liked it like we did like that. and now they're all writing books. we've got prince andrew. writing andrew. so possibly writing about the stoicism that's missing and also hard work missing and also the hard work thing because, you know, having

i remember you know, i remember meeting, you know, unnamed , but when i met prince unnamed, but when i met prince charles at the palace , i saw how charles at the palace, i saw how hard he worked , you know, hard he worked, you know, shaking people's hand, knowing the detail about each person he spoke to. yeah, it's exhausting doing that it's exhausting. it's hard work . and the did it hard work. and the queen did it to once a day, as king to engage once a day, as king charles does now . it's charles does now. it's exhausting. these youngsters exhausting. and these youngsters don't want to take on that exhausting ness. harry in exhausting ness. and harry in particular wants the particular only wants the glamour, actual hard glamour, not the actual hard work . i a day following work. i spent a day following when was on the telegraph a. when i was on the telegraph a. it maybe the times i spent it was maybe the times i spent a day following charles wales. my god , hard work. i spoke hundreds god, hard work. i spoke hundreds of people. we covered hundreds of people. we covered hundreds of miles and he talked everybody except me. i'm i did. he told to he talked to everyone. and i must say i was knocked out by the application and the energy going to trump care because i think there's someone in that family that works hard than the king and that is his and i was i was absolutely exhausted. i bet you she definitely didn't talk
