this, fine at the moment under this, fine at the moment under this particular conservative government, it will be used to stop the guerrilla protests from from just stop oil activists. but of course, it could be used for any other protests at a later date. and, you know , we later date. and, you know, we live in a free country and we do expect the right to protest peacefully. so it is a controversial piece of legislation, which is pretty bad news for anyone worried about these events because it is going to take an awfully long time to get through parliament. it's going to get held up in the lords and if it doesn't get held up in the commons, what's it's when you find that the police are just not moving on the are not just not moving on the protesters, they're giving them sunblock, that it's sunblock, but that it's pathetic. but you see, that's why— pathetic. but you see, that's. wry—ttveret why people become lily livered pottetrg. — why people become lily livered policing. -that's- why people become lily livered policing. -that's but- why people become lily livered policing. but that's but that but people know much but you see people who know much more detail of this more about the detail of this lawyers that we've interviewed before, well, they before, human rights. well, they will police already have will say the police already have these i'm that's these powers, i'm sure that's right. they powers. right. they have these powers. tut— right. they have these powers. tut tor— right. they have these powers. tut tor sorre— right. they have these powers. but for some reason, they're not using them. some people using them. now, some people would maybe they're using them. now, some people wol using maybe they're using them. now, some people wol using them maybe they're using them. now, some people wol using them because they're using them. now, some people wol using them because they' know not using them because they know that government wants to

particular former raf station. the local council, local people in the village of wethersfield and surrounding areas say it's completely inappropriate because there are no facilities. i was down there a few weeks ago. there is one very small village shop and nothing else for these young male asylum seekers to do. they would not be detained in the base. it's not a detention centre . they would be allowed to centre. they would be allowed to wander in and around wethersfield and indeed go further afield . it's completely further afield. it's completely sort of unsuitable according to those campaigns airs and that's what they will be arguing in the court. but what the government is effectively going to declare a national emergency today as far as the small boats crisis base is concerned, this would allow them to adopt class. q in response . so this class. q order

response. so this class. q order effectively gives the government that in an emergency situation , that in an emergency situation, the power to overrule any objector actions by local planners , by local authorities, planners, by local authorities, as long as the development is on as long as the development is on a crown estate on government owned land such as this ministry of defence site, it will be up to the courts, of course, whether they accept that as an argument from the government isn't pretty embarrassed for rishi sunak isn't it? when one of the rishi sunak isn't it? when one ot tre rrost— rishi sunak isn't it? when one of the most outspoken- 397 9 97 when one of the most outspoken opponents of the most outspoken opponents ot ttrs— of the most outspoken opponents ot trts ptrr— of the most outspoken opponents ot trts ptrr ts— of the most outspoken opponents of this plan is his— of the most outspoken opponents of this plan is his own foreign seeretrrw — of this plan is his own foreign secretary? well,— of this plan is his own foreign secretary? �*ftti;99 ”ti; of this plan is his own foreign secretary? �*ftti;99 ”t97ti;:i; secretary? well, there's no doubt , of course, local secretary? well, there's no doubt, of course, local mps right across the country and the foreign secretary is one in have very difficult decisions to make as to whether to go with government policy, which he absolutely rightly should do in absolutely rightly should do in a collective cabinet, but also with an eye to the very deep anger that there is among his own constituents . but make no own constituents. but make no mistake, this is vital for the

government in this policy of trying to come up with a solution that stops this overreliance on hotels, which have angered many, many people right across the country . right across the country. because what you have, especially in smaller communities, is sometimes is the only facility in that community in the form of a hotel which is used for weddings, funeral halls, other sort of public events that, of course, attracts tourists and other visitors to a location being taken out of commission, being handed over to the home office , effectively for the home office, effectively for a year, maybe two years, to house these migrants. so the government knows that that is a very unpopular policy. government knows that that is a very unpopular policy . they need very unpopular policy. they need to find solutions. one way of doing that is these bigger purpose built or adapted detention or i should say accommodation centres. they've faced such stiff opposition in, though every time they try to do this. you remember andrew and

bev linton on ouse last year in yorkshire, the raaf base there, a big public campaign against that. the local council threatened legal action. the government backed down. remember the plans to put asylum seekers in butlins holiday camps ? big in butlins holiday camps? big opposition campaigns and the government backed down. also a university up in hull, big protests again and the government backed down. they can't keep doing this if they are to find a solution to the overreliance on hotels . okay. overreliance on hotels. okay. thank you, mark.— overreliance on hotels. okay. thank you, mark. mark- 77 okay. thank you, mark. mark white. trey-re— thank you, mark. mark white. they're fascinating, isn't it? ttrs— they're fascinating, isn't it? trts ts— they're fascinating, isn't it? this is such— they're fascinating, isn't it? this is such a— they're fascinating, isn't it? this is such a significant it is totrw— this is such a significant it is totrw .— this is such a significant it is case today , but— this is such a significant it is case today , but james cleverly case today, but james cleverly rrs— case today, but james cleverly rrs r— case today, but james cleverly rrs r attor— case today, but james cleverly has a 25,000 majority in braintree. _ has a 25,000 majority in braintree. he's- has a 25,000 majority in braintree. he's obviously worried that this could cost him his seat at the next election. so he's thinking of a local as a local mp rather than a member of the cabinet. okay the latest trttrttor— the cabinet. okay the latest inflation figures— the cabinet. okay the latest inflation figures have- [as/97g the latest inflation figures have been reterset— inflation figures have been released showing that the rate fell released showing that the rate tett to— released showing that the rate tett to torto— released showing that the rate fell to 10.1% month, down fell to 10.1% last month, down sttgrttw— fell to 10.1% last month, down sttgrttw trorr — fell to 10.1% last month, down slightly from 10.4% in february . wto-s— slightly from 10.4% in february . wto-s gotrg— slightly from 10.4% in february . who's going to— slightly from 10.4% in february . who's going to give- slightly from 10.4% in february . who's going to give us some more insight into this is our

trttt— nicola sturgeon. so she was the trtrt oe— nicola sturgeon. so she was the trtrt to— nicola sturgeon. so she was the third one to sign— nicola sturgeon. so she was the third one to sign it— nicola sturgeon. so she was the third one to sign it off. - t 9 97 so she was the third one to sign it off. so she tteretore— third one to sign it off. so she therefore was— third one to sign it off. so she therefore was obviously a party to the state of the affairs, at least at the time of the last accounts. and one wonders where thatis accounts. and one wonders where that is going to lead the police. the second and most important thing of all is the lord advocate, who is in fact a lady called dorothy bain. and an snp minister appointed to the role of lord advocate by nicola sturgeon. she is in charge of the crown prosecution service . the crown prosecution service. yes. now she's the senior law officer in scotland. now the police said and repeated yesterday say that they will following their investigation, send a report to the crown office headed by an snp minister appointed by nicola sturgeon . appointed by nicola sturgeon. now, i think dorothy bain has some questions to answer. she's inferred vaguely that because if there is any political investigation , she would be not investigation, she would be not involved . that's not good enough involved. that's not good enough that really isn't good enough

because the murkiness and the depth of murkiness that's going on in the snp is shocking and it if i had a vote in scotland , i'd if i had a vote in scotland, i'd be really wanting an immediate election in scotland to deal with this snp bunch because they're clearly not fit for government and you know when theresa may stood down when bofis theresa may stood down when boris johnson stood down, she demanded nicola sturgeon a general election. they're not srvtrg— general election. they're not srvtrg tre— general election. they're not saying the same— general election. they're not saying the same as- 9:i; 9 tit7 they're not saying the same as scotland, are trew— saying the same as scotland, are trevt wo— saying the same as scotland, are they? to ro— saying the same as scotland, are treve wo ro— saying the same as scotland, are they? no no, no, no,— saying the same as scotland, are they? no no, no, no, no. 7 they? no no, no, no, no. i mean , they? no no, no, no, no. i mean . tt-s. — they? no no, no, no, no. i mean . to. art— they? no no, no, no, no. i mean , it's. and nicola sturgeon's carrying on as if there's nothing to be worried about. well i mean, it's just absurd . well i mean, it's just absurd. and no one buys that . and they and no one buys that. and they hide behind this. a criminal investigation going on. of course there is. but they need to do a lot more than hide behind that. yeah. stay with it. trrrt— behind that. yeah. stay with it. trrrt vou— behind that. yeah. stay with it. trrrt vou .— behind that. yeah. stay with it. thank you . right.— behind that. yeah. stay with it. thank you . right. still- 79 / stay with it. thank you . right. still to come, thank you. right. still to come, ttsrt— thank you. right. still to come, ttsrt surrt— thank you. right. still to come, rishi sunak is— thank you. right. still to come, rishi sunak is in— thank you. right. still to come, rishi sunak is in northern retrrt— rishi sunak is in northern ireland today— rishi sunak is in northern ireland today to mark the etostrg— ireland today to mark the closing address at the gala of

descend on the london marathon to chaos , to cause complete chaos, interrupting other sports, sporting events, things like snooken sporting events, things like snooker. i think that we're in this situation now because we didn't nip it in the bud early enough. and i not to say i told you so, but i've been saying for years now that with these eco activists, you allow them to break the law, even if it's a minor , minor, you know, just minor, minor, you know, just giving sending them the message that if you break the law in pursuit of your objectives, that we're going to allow to get we're going to allow you to get away scot free. the result of thatis away scot free. the result of that is escalation. and there have been experts extremism have been experts in extremism and terrorism that have been warning some that warning for quite some time that if do allow these sorts of if you do allow these sorts of movements and there have been eco terrorists the past, not eco terrorists in the past, not to that's what this to say that that's what this group become , but group are or will become, but you have to acknowledge that you do have to acknowledge that there are very extreme there are some very extreme people eco movement and people in the eco movement and that if you do allow them to break the law, there is a potential for these things to escalate. and so we really do need to just quite

wow— conservative administration to you? — conservative administration to wow i no.— conservative administration to wow i we. r— conservative administration to you ? no, i think— conservative administration to you ? \i you? no, i think they could do much more on controlling expenditure and they inherited very generous spending plans in all sorts of areas. but i think more needs to be done to get better value for money and to concentrate state spending on those things that really need doing and on those people who need most help from the state. i think we've allowed the help to drift too, too far upwards. i'm not sure why we all not quite sure why we all benefit from control prices and subsidies for our energy bills when people on incomes when people on good incomes could have got without , for could have got by without, for example. now that will run off. but if we controlled expenditure better, then maybe the treasury would cheer up and give us the tax cuts we need. meanwhile, i think we desperately need the tax cuts to boost the revenue. i don't think the treasury model understands that if you put corporation tax rates up by 31, they've just done , you'll end up they've just done, you'll end up with less revenue, not more, because businesses will divert their activities overseas or they won't invest here in the growth we need . again, not just

growth we need. again, not just food where chronic short of capacity of all kinds is. and then we mess up, say , the energy then we mess up, say, the energy sector so that people don't want to invest enough here. can i ask put this to you, john redwood, that liz truss has made the case for taxes is very unpopular for low taxes is very unpopular because of the way because of the cockeyed budget that she brought in last year. well, i think there were _ g i“ well, i think there were difficulties eieorw— think there were difficulties eieoriw tor— think there were difficulties clearly for liz— think there were difficulties clearly for liz truss and it's a great— clearly for liz truss and it's a great pity— clearly for liz truss and it's a great no one— clearly for liz truss and it's a great pity she resigned and we've now got— great pity she resigned and we've now got to make the case agein— we've now got to make the case again in— we've now got to make the case again in o— we've now got to make the case again in a different— we've now got to make the case again in a different way. but my nos— again in a different way. but my case has always— again in a different way. but my case has always been that i want to tax the rich and the successful companies more, not less. it'sjust successful companies more, not less. it's just the question of how do you do that? and i can tell you the way you do it is you have lower rates every time in the past, a conservative government cut the top rate of tax. they got more money from government cut the top rate of tax. rich,i got more money from government cut the top rate of tax. rich, not: more money from government cut the top rate of tax. rich, not less'e money from government cut the top rate of tax. rich, not less . money from government cut the top rate of tax. rich, not less . andiey from government cut the top rate of tax. rich, not less . and everym the rich, not less. and every time we cut the corporation tax rate on businesses, we got more money from business. that is the magic ingredient, which should be very popular politics. and i would urge rishi sunak again to

study those figures and understand what past conservative governments have done , what the republic of done, what the republic of ireland is doing all the time to us, having a very low business tax and scooping the pool tax rate and scooping the pool on business activity and profits . this is something we should be doing here. and if 12.5% is the right business rate for the repubuc right business rate for the republic of ireland , why do we republic of ireland, why do we have to have 25? how does the government think we're going to attract the investments into northern let alone the northern ireland, let alone the rest gb? if we're charging rest of gb? if we're charging double the tax of the republic of ireland, which as a result raises far more money proportionately from business than we do. john, let me ask you abori— than we do. john, let me ask you about ine— than we do. john, let me ask you about the illegal— ii john, let me ask you about the illegal immigration eoroerronne— about the illegal immigration catastrophe which is unfolding at catastrophe which is unfolding or ine— catastrophe which is unfolding at the moment— catastrophe which is unfolding at the moment .— catastrophe which is unfolding at the moment. i— catastrophe which is unfolding at the moment. i don't think r-we— at the moment. i don't think we gor— at the moment. i don't think we got ine— at the moment. i don't think we got time .— at the moment. i don't think i've got time . i— at the moment. i don't think i've got time . i really want i'm i've got time. i really want i'm going— i've got time. i really want i'm going ro— i've got time. i really want i'm going to oer— i've got time. i really want i'm going to ask you— i've got time. i really want i'm going to ask you this question. i going to ask you this question. i rearw— going to ask you this question. i reoiw wont— going to ask you this question. i really want to _ going to ask you this question. i really want to know the answer. this— i really want to know the answer. this legal case today, ire— answer. this legal case today, in o— answer. this legal case today, in o wen— answer. this legal case today, in o wew nig— answer. this legal case today, it's a very big deal. this case roiow— it's a very big deal. this case roiow witn— it's a very big deal. this case today with braintree council in reser— today with braintree council in essex twing— today with braintree council in essex rwing ro— today with braintree council in essex trying to force through an ininnerion— essex trying to force through an injunction against— essex trying to force through an injunction against the government, putting people on

think it's interesting that the king has chosen because, of course, he would have had to have signed this off because it's the official buckingham palace program that he has chosen. harry and chosen. a picture of harry and meghan to be featured in it. the papers have put the peace offering olive branch has been talked as think talked about as well. i think this perhaps might be the beginning of the end of the feud, least that's what feud, or at least that's what buckingham palace will be hoping. idoubt buckingham palace will be hoping. i doubt that. really. inew-we— hoping. i doubt that. really. inew-we-rnio- hoping. i doubt that. really. they've-this netflixi they've got all this netflix eonrreero— they've got all this netflixi contracts _ of contracts and there's talk of enorner— contracts and there's talk of another book _ contracts and there's talk of another book talk that she might do another book talk that she might io-noon. — another book talk that she might io-noon. r— another book talk that she might do-book. i can't- another book talk that she might do-book. i can't see- another book talk that she might do book. i can't see it do another book. i can't see it coming.— do another book. i can't see it coming. r— do another book. i can't see it coming. i think— do another book. i can't see it coming. i think it's wishful winning.— coming. i think it's wishful winning-ir- coming. i think it's wishful thinking. it thinking. thinking. maybe it is thinking. rer-o— let's ask michael cole because neo— let's ask michael cole because ne-olgreer— let's ask michael cole because ne-olgreer royal— let's ask michael cole because he's great royal commentator he's a great royal commentator eni— he's a great royal commentator eni ewen. — he's a great royal commentator and expert. _cole,- he's a great royal commentator and expert. cole, what and expert. michael cole, what do and expert. michael cole, what io—wirn— and expert. michael cole, what io—wirn nee- and expert. michael cole, whati do _with me? there's do you are you with me? there's no proogeer— do you are you with me? there's no prospect-this— do you are you with me? there's no prospect this feud coming no prospect of this feud coming to en— no prospect of this feud coming to en-in— no prospect of this feud coming to win my— no prospect of this feud coming to an-in my view.- to an end, in my view. absolutely— to an end, in my view. absolutely not. the two brothers, but william will not be speaking to his younger brother at all. the hurts too deep. brother at all. the hurts too deep . what has been said in the deep. what has been said in the book spare and on on television often has been too cruel and too

wounding and too personal. the sort of things that should never have actually been taken outside the family and there should have been resolved within it . so been resolved within it. so i think there's no prospect of that. maybe never , ever. i hate that. maybe never, ever. i hate to say never , but i think that to say never, but i think that is the stark truth we have to look at, because what harry has doneis look at, because what harry has done is totally unprecedented . done is totally unprecedented. covid never before members of the royal family if they've even, you know, the duke of windsor wrote his book a king's story , that was very, very story, that was very, very circumspect in what he said . circumspect in what he said. michael , circumspect in what he said. michael, have you got your souvenir program yet or have we neeren— souvenir program yet or have we neeren woe— souvenir program yet or have we even beaten you to— souvenir program yet or have we even beaten you to it? well i'm so even beaten you to it? well i'm oo gree— even beaten you to it? well i'm oo giei iner— even beaten you to it? well i'm so glad that you— even beaten you to it? well i'm so glad that you said that . so glad that you said that. inew-re— so glad that you said that. they're obviously- so glad that you said that. they're obviously making a profit with it. uh and the adverts are there. do you know , adverts are there. do you know, in 53 arnie there were 8000 people. i don't know how they must have used a big shoehorn to

get them inside the abbey, but there were 8000 people and everybody who there, the everybody who was there, the piers of the realm, allowed piers of the realm, were allowed to buy their chairs afterwards . to buy their chairs afterwards. and the and the coronation made a profit. i think it was £5. they were rather lovely, sort of light blue velvet chairs . in light blue velvet chairs. in fact, we used to live in a place called summer somerleyton and there were two of them in summer, late or because lord and lady somerleyton bought the chairs that they sat in at the coronation. but as we've talking about money and you've mentioned it themselves, mean , mr sunak it themselves, i mean, mr sunak wants us to do some. so let me give you a some, if i may. the coronation is going to cost . coronation is going to cost. £100 million and it's going to bnngin £100 million and it's going to bring in £1 billion. now that's a profit of £900 billion. and i believe that's 90. now, even goldman sachs doesn't make a profit of 90. so let's get that

out of the way. but it's really not a question of pounds and pence. not a question of pounds and pence . a man does not live by pence. a man does not live by bread alone. this is a very spiritual and constitutionally vital moment. it's the most important moment for 70 years because it's symbolic. michael sorry to interrupt— because it's symbolic. michael sorry to interrupt you,- f c i. michael sorry to interrupt you, but we went— sorry to interrupt you, but we went to — sorry to interrupt you, but we went to eon— sorry to interrupt you, but we want to ask you— sorry to interrupt you, but we want to ask you about we're reining— want to ask you about we're reining oi— want to ask you about we're talking of the— want to ask you about we're talking of the symbolism this inne— talking of the symbolism this iirrie piece— talking of the symbolism this little piece of— talking of the symbolism this little piece of christ's cross, wnen— little piece of christ's cross, wnien io— little piece of christ's cross, which is now— little piece of christ's cross, which is now going to play a roie— which is now going to play a roie in— which is now going to play a roie in one— which is now going to play a role in the day— which is now going to play a role in the day .— which is now going to play a role in the day . what do you role in the day. what do you neke— role in the day. what do you nene oi— role in the day. what do you make of that? _ role in the day. what do you make of that? �*vw�*iicc " make of that? well, i love your interventions at any time . i'm interventions at any time. i'm very, very welcome . let me just very, very welcome. let me just explain that. his holiness , the explain that. his holiness, the p0pe explain that. his holiness, the pope has given as a gift a precious gift to the king two fragments of the holy cross. the cross upon which christ was crucified at calvary . and they crucified at calvary. and they have been mounts covid by great

skill of goldsmiths company in this country into the welsh cross . and that will be borne cross. and that will be borne into the abbey. now of course , into the abbey. now of course, the things of this kind , uh , are the things of this kind, uh, are very, very important, particularly in the catholic church, less so in the church of england. but this is very important and of course, john calvin , the great reformer, the calvin, the great reformer, the great protestant reformer from switzerland , he said there were switzerland, he said there were enough elements and pieces of the holy cross around the world to fill a ship, but we the holy cross around the world to fill a ship , but we have to to fill a ship, but we have to accept and obviously the pope and i'm sure the king believes that these are fragments of holy cross on which christ was crucified for those years ago. and rose again from the dead and then ascended to heaven . so this then ascended to heaven. so this is a very important spiritual moment. it's the most important

moment. it's the most important moment happens and it's often said and i'm sure andrew can back me up, but we don't have a written constitution. but we do have a coronation and that is central to everything we ever do because westminster says someone , the king is there, a head of state parliament is sovereign and they work together . and over and they work together. and over the years and it goes back a thousand years, it hasn't done too badly for this country. yeah, right. agreed thank you so much, yeah, right. agreed thank you so mug. nieneei— yeah, right. agreed thank you so much, michael cole. _ / g“c giiiii thank you so much, michael cole. always a pleasure. we've— much, michael cole. always a pleasure. we've run- much, michael cole. ii we've run out of time. pleasure. we've run out of time. cerneron— pleasure. we've run out of time. cameron walker,— pleasure. we've run out of time. cameron walker, next— ii we've run out of time. cameron walker, next time, if you— cameron walker, next time, if woe een— cameron walker, next time, if woe wing— cameron walker, next time, if you can bring in— cameron walker, next time, if you can bring in that little erooo-ger- you can bring in that little cross,-get extra- you can bring in that little cross, get extra prizes cross, you'll get extra prizes iron— cross, you'll get extra prizes from me— cross, you'll get extra prizes from me eni— cross, you'll get extra prizes from me and andrew.

ideology. this is about women's spaces it's not to spaces in general. it's not to make the distinction between women's just because women's sports just because there's competitive advantage there's a competitive advantage in and that's in women's sports. and that's not of miss is not the nature of the wi miss is the point, which is that if you allow people who identify as women, men who identify as women into women's spaces like the women's institute, do you allow them into prisons? i can i can hardly them into prisons? i can i can neriiw woe— them into prisons? i can i can hardly you know,— them into prisons? i can i can hardly you know, i— them into prisons? i can i can hardly you know, i can- 7 i can i can hardly you know, i can hardly neiiewe— hardly you know, i can hardly believe we're— hardly you know, i can hardly believe we're having this discussion.— believe we're having this discussion. it's- believe we're having this discussion. it's absurd. discussion. it's so absurd. ru— discussion. it's so absurd. iii-woe— discussion. it's so absurd. iii-woe e— discussion. it's so absurd. i'll-you a real- i'll give you a real life example. i play and example. i play netball and there's organised there's an organised woman called to netball. netball called back to netball. netball had in had a brilliant increase in women of my age who used to play netball. we've gone back and one day coach to us and she day the coach came to us and she said, right, ladies, it's meant to be women only. we've been approached by trans that approached by a trans woman that wants play. do wants to come and play. how do you it now? of you all feel about it now? of course, year. all course, this was a year. we all a bit somebody made some a bit and somebody made some jokes about drop balls and various things british people jokes about drop balls and variright?ings british people jokes about drop balls and variright?ings we :ish people jokes about drop balls and variright?ings we :ish pisure, do, right? and we said, sure, she play. we don't she can come and play. we don't mind. fun. netball we're she can come and play. we don't minwe're fun. netball we're she can come and play. we don't minwe're not. netball we're she can come and play. we don't minwe're not after)all we're she can come and play. we don't minwe're not after olympice not we're not after olympic medals. when you ever not medals. when were you ever not eonoeririwe— medals. when were you ever not eonpeririwee — medals. when were you ever not competitive ? .that's- medals. when were you ever not competitive ? .that's your. competitive? but that's your decision. not a top down
