the road is closed, right? yeah. and by every bone in your body that tells you to get the hell out from the oncoming out of the way from the oncoming traffic immediately you see back in world, the more in the real world, the more things put in the way of things you've put in the way of getting to the solution, the more opportunities be more opportunities there will be for go wrong. like for things to go wrong. like what break down suddenly what if you break down suddenly in you can't make it in your car? you can't make it all the way to the nearest layby because are because they because there are because they are further away than promised? what cameras don't spot what if the cameras don't spot you person you because the person monitoring them on a or monitoring them is on a break or the system what if the system is down? what if there is no radar technology? as we learnt case on many we learnt was the case on many of things? or if the of these things? or if the people behind you don't see the red x above the lane or ignore it, many it, well there are so many variables . i it, well there are so many variables. i could go on forever whilst it is welcome news that there will no longer be more of these awful ridiculous things being built . but what i want and being built. but what i want and looking at it for the existing ones, i want those to go. i mean , it's awful because they promised that they would increase the frequency of the laybys with the existing ones.
4:09 pm
that's what they said they'll do. but you tell that to the families who say the government have blood on their hands. i want them to further. i say want them to go further. i say reinstate all hard shoulders on all existing smart motorways all the existing smart motorways . right? danny loved that he said i was so stern. i think he liked that daddy. all right. before we get stuck into the debate, here's what else is coming up today. the great british debate this hour. i'm asking our labour's dirty tricks. going to cost them their lead targeted lead following their targeted campaigns claimed rac campaigns where they claimed rac sunak lock up sunak doesn't want to lock up sex offenders. days of sex offenders. labour's days of commanding point in the commanding 20 point leads in the polls pretty much polls are pretty much disappeared as millions of undecided voters are undecided decided voters are more to back sunak over more likely to back sunak over starmer and recent polling indicates that the prospect of a hung are much higher hung parliament are much higher . their attack ads . so how have their attack ads spectacularly backfired ? then at spectacularly backfired? then at 450, it's worldview paul duddndge 450, it's worldview paul duddridge will be joining me to bnng duddridge will be joining me to bring up us up to date with the news and the drama from the us. of course, trump watch. we'll

4:53 pm
is terrible, sad. and as a horse racing owner myself, my heart goes out to their connections . goes out to their connections. but i'm going to give you three things that we have done in recent years to make the grand national following national safer following extensive scientific research and extensive analysis. so, number one, obviously we've lowered the fences. we've also changed the colour of the fences . so it's visually clearer for the horses . the second thing is the horses. the second thing is we have briefed jockeys this we have briefed the jockeys this year to run the race year on how to run the race safely, not to win. how to run it safely, which shows that welfare is absolutely at the heart of everything that we do . heart of everything that we do. and we've also made sure that the ground that they're running on means that they're travelling at less speed and as a result of that, as a result of these measures, these active steps that we have taken as an industry , 99% of horses , over industry, 99% of horses, over 99% of horses come off of that track back to the paddock , happy track back to the paddock, happy and i would challenge an obe one thing they've done that has is actually contributed positively

simple as that. and so i would question actually was their campaign about animal welfare or was it actually just a platform for them? was it an act of self—promotion , an advertisement self—promotion, an advertisement ? well, listen, albie, thank you very— ? well, listen, albie, thank you very nucn— ? well, listen, albie, thank you very much. that's— 7” well, listen, albie, thank you very much. that's abby mcgregor. snes— very much. that's abby mcgregor. sne-s a— very much. that's abby mcgregor. she's a racehorse— very much. that's abby mcgregor. she's a racehorse owner and noise— she's a racehorse owner and noise racing— she's a racehorse owner and horse racing podcast. so let's pane— horse racing podcast. so let's pane a— horse racing podcast. so let's pane a quick— horse racing podcast. so let's have a quick chat— horse racing podcast. so let's have a quick chat with my panel on inap— have a quick chat with my panel on inarlpanny— have a quick chat with my panel on that danny what on that. danny kelly, what do you— on that. danny kelly, what do you-po— on that. danny kelly, what do you-po you— on that. danny kelly, what do you-do you think- on that. danny kelly, what do you do you think perhaps you think? do you think perhaps inap— you think? do you think perhaps mar-nas— you think? do you think perhaps rnar-nas i— you think? do you think perhaps that-was i couldn't- you think? do you think perhaps that was i couldn't watch that that was i couldn't watch it that that was i couldn't watch irlsaiuruay. — that that was i couldn't watch irlsaiuruay. i— that that was i couldn't watch it saturday.

wees.— in support of smart. yes, it wees-leew— in support of smart. yes, it does. don't think it does does. i don't think it does increase the capacity. i think all increase all it does is increase congestion. same congestion. i think the same amount are going use amount of cars are going to use the but they're going the motorway, but they're going to be in congestion. i'm to be in more congestion. i'm not there are going not sure that there are going to be the road. how be fewer cars on the road. how does does increase does it how does it increase eeweeewewe— does it how does it increase congestion? they've congestion? it means they've got mere—eeeee- congestion? it means they've got meweeeee—e fori more lanes and more space for teem—wen.- more lanes and more space for were _weu. w- more lanes and more space for. them _well, it increases them to move. well, it increases congestion. lane congestion. sorry, a three lane live motorway will live running motorway will be more if there are more congested if there are three lanes as opposed to four lanes. and so i don't lanes. yeah. and so i don't think it's going reduce think it's going to reduce capacity think same capacity. i think the same amount of are still going capacity. i think the same amou on)f are still going capacity. i think the same amou on the are still going capacity. i think the same amou on the same still going capacity. i think the same amou on the same motorways. to be on the same motorways. it's they'll be three it's just that they'll be three lanes rather than four lanes. i don't people not going don't think people are not going to motorways. and to drive on the motorways. and also this also the problem with this ewgwmewe— also the problem with this. ewewmewe—ewew argument as well is that they all—somewherel argument as well is that they. all—somewhere and all end up going somewhere and all end up going somewhere and all you— all end up going somewhere and an you-up— all end up going somewhere and an you-up with— all end up going somewhere and all you-up with a— all you end up with a bottleneck. - all you end up with a- bottleneck. - more all you end up with a- bottleneck.-more cars bottleneck. but with more cars running— bottleneck. but with more cars ruraren't-better- bottleneck. but with more cars ruraren't better off? so aren't you better off? actually— so aren't you better off? actually having and then if there— actually having and then if there-an— actually having and then if there an accident on on there is an accident on on a motorway— there is an accident on on a motorway that— there is an accident on on a motorway that has three live running— motorway that has three live running lanes— motorway that has three live running lanes and no hard shoulder,— running lanes and no hard shoulder, |_ running lanes and no hard shoulder, i just— running lanes and no hard shoulder, i just don't buy this . when— shoulder, i just don't buy this . when there's— shoulder, i just don't buy this . when there's an— shoulder, i just don't buy this . when there's an accident, when there-s— . when there's an accident, when there's-accident,— . when there's an accident, when there's accident, you there's an accident, then you have— there's an accident, then you have-the— there's an accident, then you have-the whole- there's an accident, then you have the whole motorway. have to stop the whole motorway. that-s— have to stop the whole motorway. mars—so — have to stop the whole motorway. mars—so and- that's the problem. so and people—andi people make mistakes and there are people make mistakes and there eee—very- people make mistakes and there eeeve—w time- are accidents. so every time there-e— are accidents. so every time there's-accident- are accidents. so every time there's accident on a smart there's an accident on a smart motorway— there's an accident on a smart motorway-entire- there's an accident on a smart
