because what's been going on is a deliberate campaign to not simply devalue view our history, but to delegitimize it, our history, the whole of black lives matter and whatever is an attempt at saying british history is fundamentally as wicked as german history. the germans carried out the holocaust , we carried out holocaust, we carried out slavery and the empire. in my view, it's a completely false equivalence . but but that in equivalence. but but that in other words, it's a genuine attempt to destroy a people's faith in their own country . you faith in their own country. you know what was fascinating? what was fascinating was when- know what was fascinating? what was fascinating was when i- t g7 what was fascinating was when i was rorhhg— was fascinating was when i was rorhhg ro— was fascinating was when i was talking to people,— was fascinating was when i was talking to people, i deliberately went up to people who— deliberately went up to people who r— deliberately went up to people who r khevv— deliberately went up to people who i knew english. who i knew weren't english. ugh.— who i knew weren't english. hrghr. aho— who i knew weren't english. hrghr. ahu r— who i knew weren't english. right. and i said to where right. and i said to them, where are right. and i said to them, where ore—aho— right. and i said to them, where ore—are r— right. and i said to them, where ore—are r-rol are you from? and i spoke to people— are you from? and i spoke to people from — are you from? and i spoke to people from canada, from amehso— people from canada, from america, from _ people from canada, from america, from one america, from india, one individual— america, from india, one- individual-caribbean individual from the caribbean mu— individual from the caribbean she-hom— individual from the caribbean and _from france- individual from the caribbean and from france as individual from the caribbean- and-from france as well and one chap from france as well .—rhem— and one chap from france as well .—rhem ou— and one chap from france as well ._them all pretty- . and i asked them all pretty straightforwardly. said, if straightforwardly. i said, if you— straightforwardly. i said, if you were— straightforwardly. i said, if you were british, would you be proud— you were british, would you be proud of— you were british, would you be proud of he— you were british, would you be proud of it? and— you were british, would you be proud of it? and they all said yes. — proud of it? and they all said yes. yesh— proud of it? and they all said yes. veuh. rhey— proud of it? and they all said yes. yeah, they all said yes. aho— yes. yeah, they all said yes. ahu vhh— yes. yeah, they all said yes. and with the _ yes. yeah, they all said yes. and with the exception of vvoreuoo.— and with the exception of waterloo. chap and with the exception of. waterloo.-chap was waterloo. but that chap was morse— waterloo. but that chap was france _think- waterloo. but that chap was.

3:43 pm
slavery is wholly misconceived because, as i said before, no country thought it was wrong . country thought it was wrong. there is there is no belief in its wrong. slavery is a universal phenomenon. the only thing that's peculiar here is that in britain somewhere about 1760 people start to decide that it's wrong and they don't do so because of christianity. they do so because britain was a country that believed in freedom. why is that believed in freedom. why is that right? we're all going to sing various silly , patriotic sing various silly, patriotic songs. why do we sing britain's a never, never shall be slaves in rural britannia. it's not because they were thinking of black because we black slavery. it's because we call the french. i'm afraid this is going back to waterloo. we call the french slaves because they were subject to an absolute monarchy, which is why they had a revolution and why we didn't . a revolution and why we didn't. so ours is a history that, apart from the horror of our own civil war in the 17th century, it's one where we haven't had revolution asians. we've had improvement . we've we've had a

3:52 pm
country has got a long history of windfall taxes, of imposing windfall taxes, particularly around times of war or kind of like really, really big unusual profits. so margaret thatcher's government brought in windfall taxes. we had windfall taxes after both the first and the second world war. and i think politically and economically , companies, economically, companies, businesses, individuals , businesses, individuals, households are crying out for support . and bp is absolutely support. and bp is absolutely raking it in. and as i said, you know, that money is being funnelled into the shareholders and shareholder profits and it's not really being put into more investment. so i think there's a pretty clear case that the government should be tightening up and closing the loopholes in the existing windfall tax , the existing windfall tax, asking bp and other big oil companies to pay more money and funnelling that into public services and supporting people and businesses around the country. jesus is coming. hallelujah. yeah, i justdwonder hallelujah. yeah, i just wonder vherher— hallelujah. yeah, i just wonder vherher or— hallelujah. yeah, i just wonder whether or not— hallelujah. yeah, i just wonder whether or not they've had their fun whether or not they've had their ruh uovv. — whether or not they've had their ruh uovv. who — whether or not they've had their fun now. and i— whether or not they've had their fun now. and i think- whether or not they've had their fun now. w: whether or not they've had their fun now. and i think this is kind of where i'm at, which is certainly not the most scientific you scientific argument that you could up with. but

4:26 pm
statement is about in terms of what this statement is looking into and this is whether or not rules were broken, whether or not the civil service code of conduct was broken. when were these discussions had with the labour party and has this affected the impartiality obe of the civil service ? sue gray of the civil service? sue gray of course conducted that investigation into parties across the across whitehall, across the across whitehall, across downing street and particularly into the conduct of bofis particularly into the conduct of boris johnson . she then advised boris johnson. she then advised the parliamentary inquiry into whether or not boris johnson misled the house of commons and the allegation is that during that time she was speaking secretly to the labour party , secretly to the labour party, she was liaising with the office of sir keir starmer. now we may well find out whether or not thatis well find out whether or not that is true this afternoon and if it is true, if she had been having those meetings without declaring them as the civil service code of conduct, says senior civil servants must do, declaring them to their ministers if those declarations
4:27 pm
were not made , then there is were not made, then there is some hot water and potentially a big cooling off period and that will be delivered for sue gray. she won't be allowed to join the office of sir keir starmer for potentially a year, a year and a half, depending on how harshly the civil servants in charge take this potential breach . take this potential breach. however, it must be said in the past, different parties have hired former civil servants. in fact, that's something that the shadow chancellor rachel reeves, has been saying in defence . has been saying in defence. reading this appointment today. i'm confident that sue gray hasn't broken any rules. but labour have always c i but labour have always understood . labour have always understood. coutt— labour have always understood. coutt that— labour have always understood. coutt that am— labour have always understood. could that an acoba_ labour have always understood. could that an acoba process must be gone through? but if we look at the— be gone through? but if we look at the amt— be gone through? but if we look at the past appointment- g 37 but if we look at the past appointment dates of three— at the past appointment dates of ehtete ot— at the past appointment dates of chiefs of staff— at the past appointment dates of chiefs of staff to— at the past appointment dates of chiefs of staff to leader of the oggoetttom — chiefs of staff to leader of the opposition, both _ chiefs of staff to leader of the opposition, both david cameron and opposition, both david cameron amt tony— opposition, both david cameron amt tomy htatr— opposition, both david cameron and tony blair are— opposition, both david cameron and tony blair are appointed a etvtt— and tony blair are appointed a etvtt eervamt— and tony blair are appointed a civil servant, a— and tony blair are appointed a civil servant, a former civil eervamt— civil servant, a former civil eervamt to— civil servant, a former civil servant to those- civil servant, a former civil servant to those roles because it servant to those roles because tt te— servant to those roles because t he tmgortamt— servant to those roles because it is important from opposition

4:32 pm
came out of this poll. so yes, peoplemakejht that rishi sunak came out of this poll. so yes, peoplemake at that rishi sunak came out of this poll. so yes, peoplemake a betterqishi sunak came out of this poll. so yes, peoplemake a better leaderinak came out of this poll. so yes, peoplemake a better leader than would make a better leader than keir starmer. people did think that the conservatives could and the clue was in the word. there could win the next general election. the answer was very different thought different when people thought that there were that they will, but there were other things core political questions about individuals belief systems, voters, belief systems asked during systems that were asked during this do you this poll like where do you stand it to the stand when it comes to the education of children about various sectors , all various different sectors, all issues so transgenderism , for issues so transgenderism, for example, where should that stop in schools and people said they wanted them to be taught about gender issues, but they basically wanted to stop basically wanted it to stop there. that does tie in there. well, that does tie in with conservative party's with the conservative party's ideology does ideology more so than it does for the labour party. when it came the small boats crisis, came to the small boats crisis, 77% of people said they didn't think government was doing think the government was doing well. let's be honest, is because we haven't the because we haven't stopped the small but more small boats, isn't it? but more people than backed the people than not backed the rwanda the rwanda program and the implication me anyway, implication there for me anyway, is people presumably wanted is that people presumably wanted the actually be the government to actually be stronger than they are being, which they're going which again, they're not going to from the labour party, to get from the labour party, are majority of people
4:33 pm
are they a majority of people wanted to stay in the echr though. so again, maybe the pubuc though. so again, maybe the public confused public is a bit confused here because jury's out , frankly, because the jury's out, frankly, isn't as to we be isn't it, as to how we could be stronger whilst staying in the echr? there's quite a lot going stronger whilst staying in the ecithereiere's quite a lot going stronger whilst staying in the ecithere ,ere's quite a lot going stronger whilst staying in the ecithere , but quite a lot going stronger whilst staying in the ecithere , but i|uite a lot going stronger whilst staying in the ecithere , but i just a lot going stronger whilst staying in the ecithere , but i just think going stronger whilst staying in the ecithere , but i just think we ng on there, but i just think we need watch this space it need to watch this space when it comes like this because comes to polls like this because it long ago were it wasn't so long ago we were talking about disaster talking about absolute disaster for party and for the conservative party and thatis for the conservative party and that is not the case. and as i'm going you more detail going to bring you more detail on that latest polling throughout of this throughout the course of this show, takeaway from it throughout the course of this shiif, takeaway from it throughout the course of this shiif the takeaway from it throughout the course of this shiif the conservativey from it throughout the course of this shiif the conservative party] it is, if the conservative party actually like actually starts to behave like the conservative party, then frankly, public frankly, the public might actually on their side actually get on their side because their values appear to because their values appear to be more aligned with that of the pubuc be more aligned with that of the public labour party. public than the labour party. but course but there is, of course something can't get something that we can't just get around potentially around that potentially after this time office. this length of time in office. people sick of the people are just sick of the tories. gb views at gb news .uk. i'll have loads more from buckingham palace. very, very shortly. lots of royal news in town as well. but let's return now to newsroom and get the now to our newsroom and get the very latest news headlines with polly . patrick.

4:51 pm
of this actually is a worrying report, a worrying that report, a worrying report that has that half of has found that nearly half of secondary are allowing secondary schools are allowing children their children to self—declare their gender their parents gender without their parents consent. it comes after rishi sunak ordered a review into sex education. and i'm joined now by by lottie moore, who's from policy exchange. lottie, thank you very, very much for joining us on this particular issue . us on this particular issue. should parents have more of a say on what is going on in schools. well, say on what is going on in schools . well, yes, absolutely. schools. well, yes, absolutely. i schools. well, yes, absolutely. t mean— schools. well, yes, absolutely. t .— schools. well, yes, absolutely. i mean , our research that policy i mean, our research that policy exchange conducted and is available in our report at asleep at the wheel found that only 28% of secondary schools are reliably informing parents as soon as a child discloses feelings of gender distress. and that 72% of schools are teaching that 72% of schools are teaching that people have gender identity, that may be different from their biological sex. so thatis from their biological sex. so that is really concerning because these are beliefs that are not based in fact, but are well , beliefs .
4:52 pm
are not based in fact, but are well, beliefs . yeah, no , indeed. well, beliefs. yeah, no, indeed. but what can parents actually do about— but what can parents actually do about three— but what can parents actually do about this? what— but what can parents actually do about this? what can people do if about this? what can people do tt they— about this? what can people do tt they want— about this? what can people do tt they want to — about this? what can people do if they want to stop this ? if they want to stop this? vtett — if they want to stop this? wet to.— if they want to stop this? well, so, for— if they want to stop this? well, so, for example- if they want to stop this? well, so, for example , parents well, so, for example, parents can go into schools and see the materials that their children are being taught . schools have are being taught. schools have got to reveal to parents what children are being taught. they have parents have an automatic right to see those materials . right to see those materials. and the education secretary wrote a letter to schools reminding them this. wrote a letter to schools reminding them this . at the reminding them of this. at the end march, the problem is end of march, the problem is that parents are busy and taking time out of their day to go on to school premises and look at materials that their children are not always are being taught is not always practical. really , we need practical. so really, we need the review into our the government review into our to as soon as possible into to come as soon as possible into teaching schools as to what is appropriate for schools to be teaching schools with regard to sex and gender and nortje. i've got to ask the why of the- ti 3: ti h i've got to ask the why of the whole ththg — got to ask the why of the whole ththg t— got to ask the why of the whole thing now. i mean,— got to ask the why of the whole thing now. i mean, why you've tuet— thing now. i mean, why you've tuet atreaty— thing now. i mean, why you've just already said— thing now. i mean, why you've just already said there that it toeeh-t— just already said there that it doesn't—based. just already said there that it| doesn't—based in doesn't appear to be based in any— doesn't appear to be based in any-biological- doesn't appear to be based in any-biological or- any kind of biological or scientific— any kind of biological or scientific or— any kind of biological or scientific or anything really .
