there, but i don't think we've got that. >> arlene foster is with us this morning. this is the last thing that rishi sunak needs, isn't it? another byelection, another headache deal with? headache to deal with? >> and mean, it >> absolutely. and i mean, it also into stark relief also brings into stark relief the happened time. the what happened at that time. and forget, this was the and don't forget, this was the beginning the end boris beginning of the end for boris johnson as and if the johnson as well. and if the committee eight committee has recommended eight weeks, there is no way the commons back that. commons will not back that. given happened at that time given what happened at that time with owen paterson. you will recall tried to cheat recall that they tried to cheat the committee recommendations in respect was the respect of him, and that was the whole what went whole start of what went wrong then. so i just think that this means another by—election. and as you say, rishi sunak definitely does not need this. >> it call him to >> and it does call him to account. whole point about account. the whole point about bofis boris johnson's judgement, particularly people he particularly about the people he surrounded himself with because he claimed he didn't know there were allegations against chris pincher which were repudiated by the former foreign office mandarin , who wrote a letter to mandarin, who wrote a letter to a national newspaper saying not only was he told he was told face to face that there were serious allegations about chris pincher and then

pincher conduct, and boris then said he forgot, which i don't frankly believe . frankly believe. >> well, i don't believe it either . i >> well, i don't believe it either. i think just wanted either. i think he just wanted to chris pincher in to keep chris pincher in position. i mean, at that time i wasn't often i wasn't in the house of lords at that time, but i mean, even i knew that there i mean, i even i knew that there were rumours chris were rumours around chris pincher and i and that was just me being around the of me being around the house of commons around so commons and around politics. so for boris to claim that he didn't , i think is just not didn't know, i think is just not credible. frankly >> was the start of the >> and it was the start of the process started process where they started resigning problems for resigning other problems for rishi sunak of course, you've been house at all been in the house at lords all week, a record 20 defeats inflicted on the government's migration by a combination migration bill by a combination of labour. dems and the of labour. the lib dems and the so—called independent crossbenchers and the bishops and the bishop, bishops . and the bishop, the bishops. let's not that can well let's not forget that can well be wretched. archbishop because the bishops did take a leading role in all of this. >> archbishop welby saying that that we need an immigration system with justice and compassion and being very emotional about all of that. but

look, i think sometimes as members of the house of lords and i am a member of the house of lords, forget our role. our role is as a revising chamber. we are not the government. we are not elected . we are there to are not elected. we are there to revise laws to make them better, to get into the detail of it, but not to change the policy. and that's the fundamental issue and what some lords are trying to to change the policy to do are to change the policy of government i presume of the government and i presume that back the that when it goes back to the commons today , you will see the commons today, you will see the comments saying, thank you comments saying, well, thank you very we're sticking very much, but we're sticking with and it'll end with our bill and then it'll end up back to us and we'll up coming back to us and we'll say no, well, there'll be more votes or there'll be what's called and the called ping pong. yeah and the government prevail and government will prevail and that's way it is. that's the way it is. >> you think they're >> do you think they're overstepping mark? of overstepping their mark? some of these and is it right these peers? and is it right that the bishops are i mean, is it a of british it a quirk of the british constitution? we've got 26 anglican peers there. there are no bishops there. there no sorry bishops there. there are no roman catholic bishops. there because of our constitution. are they overstepping their mark? >> we still an >> well, we still have an established church here in england, is the anglican

england, and it is the anglican church . and frankly, i think it church. and frankly, i think it is to have faith in is good to have faith in politics somebody faith in politics as somebody of faith in politics. i think is good to politics. i think it is good to have that in the public square . have that in the public square. but think they have to but i think they have to understand role well. and understand their role well. and their is, to be a their role is, yes, to be a voice for people of but voice for people of faith, but they are a voice for people of a certain faith not even from certain faith and not even from everybody faith, certain faith and not even from everybocas faith, certain faith and not even from everybocas an faith, certain faith and not even from everybocas an anglican, 1, certain faith and not even from everybocas an anglican, i don't because as an anglican, i don't always recognise what's coming from bishops benches . so from the bishops benches. so i think there is a need for the bishops to recognise that they do everybody of faith bishops to recognise that they do what everybody of faith bishops to recognise that they do what they're ybody of faith bishops to recognise that they do what they're doing of faith bishops to recognise that they do what they're doing is faith and what they're doing is speaking in own capacity speaking in their own capacity and this whole, this whole rwanda all about rwanda politics, it's all about stop boats, is rishi stop the boats, this is rishi sunak pledges. >> you it's ever going >> do you sense it's ever going to get off the ground? we know it's already come unstuck in in the appeal. it's going the court of appeal. it's going to to the supreme court. now, to go to the supreme court. now, if he if he doesn't get those planes air, he's never planes in the air, he's never going stop boats, is he? going to stop the boats, is he? >> i mean, this was >> well, i mean, this was announced last april, as you know, in april 2022. and we haven't one person sent to haven't had one person sent to rwanda because of legal challenges through the challenges he's got through the high court. now, the court of

appeal on a on a unanimous appeal on a not on a unanimous verdict. and i think that's important. yeah and it the important. yeah and it was the lord chief justice himself who voted of the scheme. voted in favour of the scheme. yeah it will now go yeah so i think it will now go to the supreme court. but all the while the boats keep coming. all the while money money's being spent. i mean, apparently it's 140 being spent. i mean, apparently it's140 million being spent. i mean, apparently it's 140 million that has being spent. i mean, apparently it's140 million that has been spent already rwanda and spent already in rwanda and don't that our don't forget that our immigration system costs £3 billion per year. mean , it's billion per year. i mean, it's an incredible amount of money billion per year. i mean, it's an irwe dible amount of money billion per year. i mean, it's an irwe spend|mount of money billion per year. i mean, it's an irwe spend on unt of money billion per year. i mean, it's an irwe spend on thisof money billion per year. i mean, it's an irwe spend on this issue.|ey billion per year. i mean, it's an irwe spend on this issue. so that we spend on this issue. so we need to find a solution. >> how is it possible, arlene, that we've already given much that we've already given so much money before we've money to rwanda before we've even person on a plane, even had one person on a plane, 140 million is enormous . us what 140 million is enormous. us what has that been spent on? do we know? well, i presume it's spent on accommodation . on accommodation. >> and you will recall gb news went out to rwanda last year to look at the accommodation that had been set up for the asylum seekers and it's also been set up in processes to make sure that everything is in order there. however, the court of appeal said that they didn't believe that rwanda as a third

country was a safe place for these people and that there were deficiencies in the asylum system there. so we then go now to the supreme court, but all the while, how can rishi sunak go to the electorate whenever the general election is and say, yes, we're going to deal with immigration have this immigration when we have this utany immigration when we have this litany in terms of litany of failure in terms of asylum seekers? yeah. what do you think? >> talk about being woman >> you talk about being a woman of am a practising of faith. i am a practising roman catholic . i do resent it roman catholic. i do resent it when people suggest when people like welby suggest that supports the that anybody who supports the rwanda is behaving almost rwanda scheme is behaving almost in an immoral way, wicked evil. i mean, how dare they say that? >> and i think that that is that's what i was trying to say. i mean, he he's there as an anglican representative. i'm an anglican. he doesn't speak for me and yet he makes me feel as if i'm some sort of an evil person because support rwanda person because i support rwanda scheme and i support dealing with immigration, not least because there are many people in the who can't get access to the uk who can't get access to services that they need to get access to and what about those

people? do we not care about those people? and so it has become a zero sum game. and instead of trying to look for solutions, we have people standing on soapboxes, frankly, giving us their moral judgements and what's happening . let's and what's happening. let's let's get a solution to this. yeah right. you know, let's deal with it . with it. >> keir starmer is talking. it just before half ten this morning and we're going to we're not to bring it to you not going to bring it to you live. going to bring you live. we are going to bring you the because we don't the best bits because we don't want send people to sleep. want to send people to sleep. >> this is very boring speech. >> this is a very boring speech. >> this is a very boring speech. >> but he's to unveil the >> but he's going to unveil the labour fifth and final labour party's fifth and final mission better britain. mission for a better britain. arlene bit that arlene and the one bit that which has been picked a which has been picked up by a lot of media today is this lot of the media today is this idea education teaching idea of education and teaching children the skills of oration, teaching children to speak. and it mean, it it seems so obvious. i mean, it seems extraordinary that you have teach children to speak. have to teach children to speak. but is a really but i think this is a really clever idea, i clever idea, actually. i think a lot of parents will like to hear this. >> i think a lot of parents will identify with it because when they see their teenage kids like this on texting each other, even though they're in the same room

and communicating in that way, i mean , i, i once got a text from mean, i, i once got a text from my son who was in his bedroom asking for a cup of tea. oh, yes. oh i regularly get that. >> oh, no. »- >> oh, no. >> oh, no. >> oh, yes. this is the sort of thing i think we have to be. >> so it's actually why do we have to. >> what was your reply? >> what was your reply? >> did you reply by text? did you up? you shout up? >> no, i did not hear a reply. btec. but this is the world they live in and we can't ignore that. i it's right that. and i think it's right that. and i think it's right that address it. but my that we do address it. but my goodness, what are our schools doing? if they if can't have doing? if they if we can't have kids come and have a conversation with each other? but but there is a problem. and i labour been quite i think labour has been quite clever identifying lying. clever in identifying lying. it's how they now with it's just how they now deal with it. thought it was also quite it. i thought it was also quite interesting making interesting that he's making a speech in because of course speech in kent because of course kent grammar schools. kent still has grammar schools. yeah in northern ireland yeah and we in northern ireland still have schools and still have grammar schools and he's talk today about he's going to talk today about social mobility and how kids , social mobility and how kids, you know, you shouldn't let your background define on your destiny. i absolutely believe that. i was the first of my

family to go to university as well. and that was because i went to a grammar school and i went to a grammar school and i went to a grammar school because of academic selection. >> what better vehicle for social there than social mobility is there than a grammar school? >> yeah, well, i fundamentally believe know labour believe that. i know labour certainly believe that, certainly doesn't believe that, but he's going to today but he's going to talk today about academia about valuing academia and vocational skills. i think that's absolutely right . and one vocational skills. i think th.the absolutely right . and one vocational skills. i think th.the difficultiesright . and one vocational skills. i think th.the difficulties is ht . and one vocational skills. i think th.the difficulties is thatknd one vocational skills. i think th.the difficulties is that we one of the difficulties is that we don't pathways don't value vocational pathways in the same way as we do academic pathways, although i think ironically, that pretty much under blair, if my much happened under blair, if my memory serves , he set a target memory serves, he set a target that more than 50% of all schools should go to university, and then had the and then we had the proliferation frankly, some proliferation of frankly, some rather degree courses, rather silly degree courses, dance with drama. with dance with drama. drama with dance. yeah >> and it was about that >> and also, it was about that time the idea of time that suddenly the idea of being a carpenter, an electrician , an a plumber, all electrician, an a plumber, all the skills that were so desperate need. now suddenly that was deemed to be of that was deemed to be sort of beneath children . and therefore beneath children. and therefore we shouldn't be teaching , we shouldn't be teaching, particularly boys actually particularly boys who actually enjoy , often working with their enjoy, often working with their hands. those those sort of

hands. and those those sort of more skills we've more traditional skills we've lost so many of those. >> and me say this. if you >> and let me say this. if you are carpenter, if you are an are a carpenter, if you are an electrician, you're going to earn a lot of money. >> can name your price. at >> you can name your price. at the moment. >> you can name your price. at the you're nt. >> you can name your price. at the you're going to earn lot of >> you're going to earn a lot of money and this is what i say to young not everybody has young people. not everybody has to brain actually, to be a brain surgeon. actually, you a lot of money, you can make a lot of money, provide for your family, have nice holidays, all of that by taking vocational. taking the vocational. >> never to out >> you're never going to be out of work. what's the guy who said at oh, at pimlico plumbers. yeah. oh, here, at pimlico plumbers. yeah. oh, hercharlie mullins charlie >> charlie mullins charlie mullins i he's an mullins i mean, he's an incredible story. incredible success story. >> with one old >> he started off with one old van and one bag of tools, and look how successful that company's look how successful that con i )any's look how successful that coni think this particular >> i think this this particular policy starmer's going policy that starmer's going to set out, let's just before set out, let's say just before half much about as half ten is very much about as well, the labour well, positioning the labour party vision of future very party vision of the future very differently the conservative differently to the conservative party rishi sunak, party because rishi sunak, of course, maths course, said he wanted maths obligatory until 18 for children, which obviously my children, which obviously my children with horror and children met with horror and that's a very technocratic , a that's a very technocratic, a kind of sort of, you know, looking at a screen doing this.

whereas for starmer to say i want people to talk, well, that's about having healthy relationships. it's about being happy. being able happy. it's about being able to talk in the workplace your happy. it's about being able to talklt'sthe workplace your happy. it's about being able to talklt'sthe vcleverce your happy. it's about being able to talk it'sthe vclever politically gp. it's very clever politically to this is what think m atters. matters. >> it is as long as it's delivered in the appropriate way, because as we do want to get into a situation where we're turning little robots that turning out little robots that all speak in the same way, i mean, got to a now mean, we've got to a stage now in the where we value in the uk where we value regional accents , for example, regional accents, for example, and think really and i think that's really important we continue to do important that we continue to do that. having conversations, that. but having conversations, being people, being able to speak with people, being able to speak with people, being able to communicate, i think is really, really important for our young people. and going to get it and they're not going to get it by doing this. no they are going to do get it i contact and to do get it by. i contact and being able to i bet your being able to speak. i bet your son sent you any more son hasn't sent you any more text messages in the house. >> be surprised. a cup >> you would be surprised. a cup of be surprised. of tea, you would be surprised. i'd to have heard your i'd love to have heard your response. >> you off air. >> i'll tell you off air. >> i'll tell you off air. >> all right. >> all right. >> thank you for coming. sorry remind your show remind us what time your show is. >> well, i'm actually covering for portillo. when for michael portillo. when michael cover for michael goes off, i cover for him. then we're starting him. and then we're starting

this politics show. you this new politics show. as you know, autumn with chris know, in the autumn with chris hope leading on that. so we're very much. >> and next wednesday you're giving and andrew day off giving me and andrew a day off because doing a special because we are doing a special next week doing a special next week we're doing a special next week we're doing a special next wednesday on the 12th of july ireland, live july in northern ireland, live from city. from belfast city. >> and we'll have lots of fun and lots excitement . and lots of excitement. >> why 12th of >> remind people why 12th of july, . july, significant. >> of july is >> the 12th of july is significant. it was the significant. it was about the battle in 1690, but battle of the boyne in 1690, but it's not just about a battle that took place the island of that took place on the island of ireland. actually led to the ireland. it actually led to the glorious revolution, which impacted of the united impacted the whole of the united kingdom. and be talking kingdom. and we'll be talking a little bit about that, actually, about it's significant, about why it's significant, not just politics, just in terms of irish politics, but european politics. but actually european politics. and i think that's really important. >> done brilliant. >> they've done brilliant. >> they've done brilliant. >> dutch, those >> those dutch came dutch, those dutch the glorious dutch people in the glorious revolution see you. revolution. lovely to see you. >> you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks a million. >> thanks a million. >> well, turn to >> well, let's turn to westminster now more westminster now for more reaction report suggests reaction on this report suggests chris who was boris chris pincher, who was boris johnson's chief whip, johnson's deputy chief whip, should from should be suspended from the commons weeks after commons for eight weeks after groping men at the groping ing young men at the carlton club. as arlene foster said, the commons will vote, i

would say unanimously to do that, which is almost certainly going by—election. going to trigger a by—election. political olivia utley political reporter olivia utley is with us westminster. is with us in westminster. olivia. morning good morning. well, this is a disaster for the conservative party, isn't it ? conservative party, isn't it? almost certainly. now there'll be a fourth by—election and pincher may have in 19,000 majority, but that will evaporate . but suspect . evaporate. but i suspect. >> well, absolutely. it's a complete nightmare for rishi sunak politically in terms of the sort of sitting current conservative administration, it might not be that bad. chris pincher was already lost. the party whip and of course his the way that boris johnson handled the affair precipitated his resignation. and of course, rishi sunak the current prime minister, was heavily involved in that. so it's not thought that rishi sunak personally will get of too of the get sort of too much of the blame for chris pinchers behaviour . blame for chris pinchers behaviour. but this eight week suspension, as you say, is almost certainly to almost certainly going to trigger a by—election. what will happen commons back the happen if the commons back the motion forward by the motion put forward by the standards committee, as standards committee, which as

we've quite we've said, it sounds quite likely will, is there likely that they will, is there will recall petition, which will be a recall petition, which essentially means that in essentially means that it's in the everything becomes in the court of chris pinchers constituents in tamworth . now if constituents in tamworth. now if 10% of them , just 10% sign that 10% of them, just 10% sign that recall petition, then there will be a by—election. and as you say, in normal times that wouldn't be too much of an issue. there are he's got a 19,000 majority in tamworth in staffordshire, but of course labour are going to throw everything that they've got at at this by—election we can expect thousands of labour activists on the ground there. we can expect keir starmer to be rolling up his sleeves, taking off his tires. we've seen so often and campaigning very, very hard in tamworth and then of course if the conservatives lose that seat , they have an 80 seat that seat, they have an 80 seat majority, a slightly dwindled now, but but roughly an 80 seat majority. so it won't be the end of the world in terms of actually getting laws passed in the commons. but it the house of commons. but it will that feeling will just bring up that feeling really the surface. really bubble to the surface. that that the momentum that feeling that the momentum is with labour and that is

is all with labour and that is not the conservatives want not what the conservatives want a from general a year out from a general election . election. >> just finally, olivia, this goes to the heart of boris johnson's judgement, doesn't it? because insisted that nobody because he insisted that nobody told that there were told him that there were allegations in the past about pincher's behaviour, which he knew was blown out of the water by former foreign office by the former foreign office permanent lord permanent secretary, lord mcdonald, yes, he mcdonald, who said, oh yes, he was and he was told face to was told and he was told face to face that pincher had a history of inappropriate behaviour. >> well, absolutely. and this was straw that broke the was the straw that broke the camel's back really boris camel's back really with boris johnson. he been warned as johnson. he has been warned as arlene foster said, pretty much everyone in westminster knew that. rumours that. there were rumours circulating about chris pincher's and pincher's behaviour and it sounds very much as though boris johnson simply those johnson simply ignored those rumours to promote rumours and chose to promote chris pincher to a whips position with whips. have sort of quite a lot of pastoral care over mps or are supposed to anyway , regardless of what he anyway, regardless of what he had heard . so that was really had heard. so that was really the straw that broke the camel's back for boris johnson. that is what eventually ended his career, of course we

olivia . it's a very safe seat olivia. it's a very safe seat that chris pincher has there , that chris pincher has there, but nothing is guaranteed for the conservative party at the moment and particularly when somebody leaves under this sort of shadow, the voters may well turn against them . turn against them. >> well, absolutely . it's >> well, absolutely. it's a 19,000 majority which in normal times one would consider very safe indeed . but of course, for safe indeed. but of course, for a very long time now, the conservatives have been consistently trailing in the polls. and it's thought that labour are going to throw everything that they've got at this by—election. they will be campaigning really, really hard there. we can expect to see thousands of labour activists on the ground. we expect to see the ground. we can expect to see most the shadow ministers up most of the shadow ministers up in tamworth, tamworth campaigning. a huge campaigning. it would be a huge coup labour to win this coup for labour to win this seat, overturning a 19,000 conservative majority would a conservative majority would be a fantastic for any political party in any times, but particularly now when it feels so much as though the momentum is towards labour. there is moving towards labour. there was a spectator party last night and it was filled with labour faces, for example. we can feel

that keir starmer is chomping at the bit to be the prime minister in waiting. so it would be huge for labour to overturn that majority and they will do everything in their power to try and achieve that. we know that this is a particular headache for rishi sunak because it's not by any means the only by—election that he's facing in the next few months we're expecting to see five by elections, three conservative mps who have stepped down. nigel adams, boris johnson. and we're expecting nadine dorries to step down too well . and then chris down too as well. and then chris pincher david warburton , who pincher and david warburton, who were suspended from the were both suspended from the commons after sexual allegations, sexual misconduct allegations, sexual misconduct allegations and as you say, when an mp steps down in those circum stances, it's even more likely that their constituents and the country at large will turn against their party. so this is exactly what rishi sunak does not need at this stage. >> all right, that's it . olivia >> all right, that's it. olivia utley our political reporter. you know, this echoes of john major here and his dying

administration in the 90s week after week, there were scans , after week, there were scans, ulez resignations and by elections, all of which they lost. and just suggest that government that's beginning to fall apart after nearly years fall apart after nearly 14 years in power anyway, talking of the government , the home secretary government, the home secretary suella braverman, she's backing the force to deal with the use of force to deal with disruptive activists. for disruptive activists. hurrah for that. just stop oil that. after just stop oil activists stormed wimbledon twice in two hours yesterday. >> one protester threw jigsaw pieces, bought onto the site and confetti around the court as the home secretary hosted a summit of police and sports bosses to discuss preventing such disruptions . disruptions. >> suella braverman met with representatives from the premier league. the lawn tennis association, silverstone, where the british grand prix takes place this week . end. place this week. end. >> so earlier we spoke to the policing and crime minister who said that government action has already improved how the these disruptions dealt with . disruptions are dealt with. >> look, we've made a lot of progress with these highly disruptive protests and let's start by acknowledging, of

course, right to course, people have the right to protest, what stop protest, but what just stop oil are doing legitimate are doing is not legitimate protest. seeking to protest. they are seeking to deliberately the lives deliberately disrupt the lives of fellow citizens by blocking streets, you know, stopping people getting to hospital for appointments, stopping parents, getting their children to school, people getting school, stopping people getting to you remember to work. now, if you remember last were they last autumn, they were they blocked the m25 repeatedly. there were ten mile tailbacks. thatis there were ten mile tailbacks. that is now stopped. we've strengthened the law enormously in a couple of different areas with our new public order act just in the last few weeks. so we're now seeing the metropolita police in london clearing the streets of obstructions within a matter of a few minutes. so all of that is a huge improvement. >> so joining us now in the studio is eco—warrior, an environmental activist, daniel hoopen environmental activist, daniel hooper. all also known as swampy morning. daniel, just remind everybody why you got that nickname and the sorts of protests that you became famous for. well it's the road protests in the 90s or general

environmental protests of the 90s . and tunnel emissions 90s. and tunnel emissions specifically, i suppose. >> and didn't you say quite a lot of time up a tree? yeah, i spent time up trees and all sorts. really? yeah >> first time i met you, daniel , i interviewed you when you were up a tree on wants once. did common objecting to a massive road expansion . and it massive road expansion. and it was when you first sprung into national prominence . and here national prominence. and here you are still protesting . you are still protesting. >> yeah. yeah we still, still, still . you know, it's the issue still. you know, it's the issue hasn't gone away. we won the road building. you know, we stopped the road building programme , which was a good programme, which was a good thing. and imagine if they had have put all the money that they were putting into and an energy that they were putting into roads, nudging people off roads, into nudging people off the roads and onto public transport making it transport and making it affordable. could be in a affordable. we could be in a much better position now, couldn't. >> how long ago was that when you were you were doing that?

>> would that have been? 9090s. >> yes, it was, yeah, yeah, yeah. probably newbury was 96 i think. yeah. wow >> so in a way you were ahead of you ahead of your time you were ahead of your time because caused a stir because you caused such a stir with your disrupt live action. what you make of the just what do you make of the just stop oil protesters now? do you support what they're doing ? support what they're doing? >> they're whether , you >> i think they're whether, you know, people support them or not, kind of in some way irrelevant because we all care and caring about climate change. and also these people are really brave people to be doing that. they're risking their liberty to do it. so whether we support the action or not, i think you know, it's irrelevant. we need to do something about climate change. >> but isn't it counterproductive when they alienate so many people with these tactics, whether it's blocking people going to work, blocking people going to work, blocking people, getting to a hospital appointment, hospital or cancer appointment, ambulances unable to through ambulances unable to get through because blocking roads? because they're blocking roads? >> , as i say, i mean, i'm >> well, as i say, i mean, i'm not saying i'm not a member of these groups, so i can't speak on their behalf.

these groups, so i can't speak on their behalf . what i will say on their behalf. what i will say is that, you know , people who is that, you know, people who care about climate change need to do some outclimb they're not going to see these actions and 90, going to see these actions and go, i'm going to get a bigger car now, you know, oh, you'd be surprised you'd be surprised. >> i don't think it's that necessarily people think i'm going to get a bigger car now, but think the backlash but i think that the backlash we're looking at footage here, this a guy to get to this was a guy trying to get to work in his white van and he can't work because can't get to work because these people road . people are blocking the road. the support that the reaction, the support that this man got for being wrestled off the road they he was handcuffed. >> he was handcuffed by the police . police. >> think there is i think >> and i think there is i think it is slightly counterproductive . you know, also worries me a . you know, it also worries me a little bit you probably little bit and you probably share concerns about this, share my concerns about this, the measures that these people take high profile. take are so high profile. they're so annoying on a very bafic they're so annoying on a very basic level they are basic level that they are enabung basic level that they are enabling the government to push through stricter and stricter protest laws, which will affect potential . potential. >> everybody here, we agree. i

mean, the fact is that , you mean, the fact is that, you know, the laws have already gone way too far. you know, with this administration . you know, we administration. you know, we already had laws in place s to stop, you know , you know, on the stop, you know, you know, on the old laws, i'm getting prosecuted on the old laws. and, you know, it's there. the laws are tough enough , you know, without enough, you know, without protest, we don't get good change. so you know, i think most major change or most meaningful change that's happened has been helped along by protests. and we need to be able to protest still otherwise things don't, you know, we might still have we might not have the vote. you know , racism and home vote. you know, racism and home phobia might be acceptable . you phobia might be acceptable. you know, we need to protest and the road building programme, you know, let's let's but just stop oil are the stick that they are the excuse sorry that the government will use to push through really , really strong through really, really strong legislation . legislation. >> just absolutely just not care

about that. >> they i, i, i'm not a member of just stop oil. so i really couldn't tell you whether, you know what you know, whether they care about it. what i would say is the laws have gone way too far. we're getting very, very right wing about this. and i hope when labour gets in in the next election that they reverse these laws , i'd implore them to these laws, i'd implore them to do that. but no law ever that has gives a government more control will ever be reversed. >> it doesn't matter who is in power, but these laws have gone so far that they need to be reversed. >> but i read an article with you in the times, daniel, where you in the times, daniel, where you said some of the just stop oil tactics, the expression used , they're just not cricket , , they're just not cricket, they're not playing, they're not playing fairly. do you still believe that was actually what i actually said, which is sort of paraphrased me there was that climate change is just not cricket . cricket. >> i was trying to make a joke.

i haven't the climate zealots already won like we're working towards the 2030 agenda, we're working towards the 2050 agenda, we're all being encouraged to live smaller. >> covid louder, more empty lives under the guise of saving the planet is what it feels like. and nobody has given us a referendum on that as yet. >> i mean, you know , this is the >> i mean, you know, this is the problem, isn't it? the government and yet the government and yet the government are funding north sea oil extraction. they're you know, they're giving licence passes to coal, coal extraction, you know, but we go in the opposite way. >> but people, people can't afford this. what's happening with their gas and electric bills every month. daniel because they just can't. there's a cost of living crisis and they're paying every month subsidy fees for green, green energy . energy. >> they're paying more because the companies are making the oil companies are making more because they're more profit because they're profiteering off on crisis . profiteering off on crisis. that's why we're paying more . that's why we're paying more. it's not the people. it's not the green agenda that's pushing

the green agenda that's pushing the prices up. yes, it is the green . no, no, no. what's green. no, no, no. what's pushing the prices up is the greed of the oil companies. they're making record profits. >> we're going to get in london. >> we're going to get in london. >> let's stop them happening all over the country, ultra low emission £12.50 drive emission zones, £12.50 to drive in part of london is going in every part of london is going to be covered. >> got it in derby, >> they've got it in derby, glasgow, coming to manchester. that's costing that's costing people these green people money. these green measures are hurting people in the pocket. >> well, i couldn't comment. i mean, the i don't think well, you know, i wouldn't want to comment too much on the low energy zones, but i do think it's just pushing traffic out to another place in the cities. perhaps you know, arguably. but i guess i'm guessing you don't have a car. >> do you have a car ? >> do you have a car? >> no, i do have a car. you do have a car. >> is it a tesla? pardon >> is it a tesla? pardon >> is it a tesla? pardon >> is it. i can't afford a tesla. but that's because these green measures are so expensive. you can't afford a tesla. >> i caught the train to london. i catch a train and public

transport i can. yeah do transport where i can. yeah do you? >> do you? >> do you? you? >> do you? but your car is your car. ulez compliant or would you. you live in wales now? you live off grid in a in a commune . i don't want to be too personal. i understand that. but if you've got a very if you unless you've got a very new rather expensive car, new and rather expensive car, you to drive it in you won't be able to drive it in a ulez zone without paying at least a tenner. >> i'm not. i mean, i don't think that i personally that that getting, you know , electric that getting, you know, electric cars are the main solution. >> you don't think that ? >> you don't think that? >> you don't think that? >> no, i think there are many solutions, but i don't think that's the main solution . i that's the main solution. i don't think it's the only. >> what sort of car do you drive? >> i guess i think this is irrelevant. i think what's relevant, relevant. i drove a skoda, so that's not that's not that's not i can't afford environmentally friendly. >> but that's the point i'm making. >> daniel people can't afford to comply with these green measures. >> what needs to happen? and yet we're going be we've got we're going to be told we've got to rid of these cars by to get rid of these cars by 2030. people can't afford it.

>> no, but we should we should be able afford public transport. >> and you're driving a car, which should be able to which we should be able to afford everything against afford everything you're against your embodies it. your car is embodies it. >> we should able to afford >> we should be able to afford pubuc >> we should be able to afford public transport. this is the problem. but public transport is getting more and more expensive . if your average person for them it's much cheaper to drive somewhere than to catch a train or even the coach, you know, and this is the problem we need to make public transport better and more affordable . more affordable. >> aren't you a bit embarrassed that you're driving a skoda? well i need it for work. well, so do a lot of people and people who are going to drive into london. no, i work. i live in. i'm going to have to pay £12.50 a day on top of the congestion charge of an ultra low charge because of an ultra low emission zone, which nobody thinks to cut pollution thinks is going to cut pollution anyway. we need i don't anyway. well, we need i don't i think the fact i'm not going to argue about the so—called green , you know, there's a lot of green solutions , options that

green solutions, options that are offered to us that are on the surface look green , that the surface look green, that aren't perhaps as green as we'd like them to be. >> does that mean can you see, therefore, that there are invested corporate interests in the green agenda? of course there is it at of our expense. >> of course there is. but i think also we need to we still need to go forward and we still need to go forward and we still need to go forward and we still need to work with these people. but i don't think we should hand over the cheque to multinational companies to get richer off it. no, i think we need to look at real solutions . as you know, the real solutions. as you know, the government should be like like we covid. yeah. and we had the government had experts saying we need to do this. and you know, there was a panel set up it. people listened . yeah, people people listened. yeah, people would listen if the government put the agenda , you know, said, put the agenda, you know, said, actually , we're honest about the actually, we're honest about the scope of the crisis . yes. and scope of the crisis. yes. and you know, people would fly a lot

less. people would drive. you know, one the whether their journeys are necessary , they journeys are necessary, they will be encouraged to fly less. >> you know, who won't fly less are the billionaires and the people who are pushing through the green agenda. we are the ones are going suffer, think. >> well, i think we're in agreement about the billionaires that cashing in on the green agenda. >> but i think we have to be awake. yeah, but i agree. but i think are all us have to think we are all of us have to be awake to the fact that if it was so catastrophic, they would also making same also be making the same compromise the world was compromise as if the world was going be be over in the next going to be be over in the next 50 years. even the billionaires who apparently about who apparently know more about climate would not who apparently know more about cli|would would not who apparently know more about cli|would not. would not who apparently know more about cli|would not. but would not who apparently know more about cli|would not. but that'suld not who apparently know more about cli|would not. but that's what)t be would not. but that's what happens, it? what happens, isn't it? that's what happens, isn't it? that's what happens when say, are you happens when you say, are you a climate change denying. that's why this conversation gets shut down, that phrase is down, because that phrase is just and made just so convenient. and you made the with it's the comparison with covid. it's the comparison with covid. it's the say, oh, you're the same people say, oh, you're a well, no, i'm a covid denier. well, no, i'm not. believe there is not. but i believe there is nuance this conversation, and nuance to this conversation, and i like the fact that we need to talk about it rather than have it i think where we're probably >> i think where we're probably agreeing climate change

agreeing is that climate change is probably caused or most be caused by human greed. do we do we agree on that? >> i'm not yet convinced of that. i'm not yet. i don't know enough about it, but i'm not convinced because i think there is too much profit baked in for people make us believe that people to make us believe that not but the greed of not our greed, but the greed of people who are cashing in or, you know, we don't need to buy as much stuff as we got, you know, we're consuming . know, we're consuming. >> and consumerism is what caused us climate change. >> we could all consume less for the sake of our oceans and our air. i agree. but you know what i quite like? i like to heat my home and i like to be able to feed my kids on a cooker. and that's what we're being, of course, unless let's do it in a green way. >> all right, daniel, thank you green way. >> coming t, daniel, thank you green way. >> coming in.)aniel, thank you green way. >> coming in. and l, thank you green way. >> coming in. and i'miank you green way. >> coming in. and i'm glad'ou green way. >> coming in. and i'm glad you for coming in. and i'm glad you came on a train. you didn't came in on a train. you didn't drive your phew. your fuel guzzling skoda. >> embarrassing a >> nothing embarrassing about a skoda. don't think you skoda. anyway, i don't think you meant specifically the brand. did in general? did you mean the car in general? the right. thank you, daniel. >> thank you for coming in.

pierce bev turner. pierce and bev turner turner. >> this caught our eye >> so this caught our eye a poster promoting the broadway hit tony. and tina's wedding has been features been banned because it features a cake. is the worst sort a cake. this is the worst sort of nanny state nonsense from transport for london, which is, of course, run by labour mayor sadiq khan. >> banned the ad is it >> they banned the ad is it breached their strict obesity rules about the consumption of high fat salt and sugar food? >> it just me giggle. mark >> it just makes me giggle. mark ryan , one of the ryan parsons, one of the original actors in tony and tina's wedding, joins us now. mark, good to see you . i mean, mark, good to see you. i mean, look, this cake was very appetising. it did look very appetising, but i'm not sure it would have caused me to suddenly become obese. just explain to our viewers what this meant for the production . the production. >> yeah, i think the decision is absolutely ridiculous and insane. really it's a it's a gorgeous wedding cake . i gorgeous wedding cake. i remember actually doing the photo shoot for it. and we loved it. and it was all over stratford where we had the

original show and now it's moved on to another venue . but i just on to another venue. but i just think the decision on to ban it on tfl is absurd. and sadiq khan i think has lost the plot. i don't understand how this gorgeous looking wedding cake will cause a child to look at it and decide to eat more foods to and decide to eat more foods to an extent where they could become obese. i think it's so, so woke. it's so extreme. and actually i think tfl needs to be looking at some of the other adverts that they've authorised on their tubes and underground platforms where they're promoting cosmetic surgery to go to turkey of the health implications there. yeah, very good point . absolutely good point. absolutely ridiculous , as i said. ridiculous, as i said. >> and the thing is , the thing >> and the thing is, the thing is about this, which which really annoys me, this is a well known production which did 30 years on broadway . it's coming years on broadway. it's coming into london and theatres are struggling like everybody else to get bums on seats because of

the cost of living crisis and a great showcase for that production would be the london underground tube tube stations and tube carriages . and the and tube carriages. and the mayor has banned it, which could have a really bad effect on the box office of what's going to be a very, very funny show, which i'm going to see, by the way. no thank you. >> yes. it's just so cruel in that sense as well, because i know the producer has spent so much money on, number one, getting the photos done, marketing it, getting it advertised . it's very costly . advertised. it's very costly. and to then have this decision ruled against them , they have to ruled against them, they have to go back to the marketing team. they have to redesign on the poster. all of this incurs costs andifs poster. all of this incurs costs and it's an expensive business to run. i mean, having a show in the west end, he previously ran the west end, he previously ran the show in stratford as well, where we where we performed . i where we where we performed. i mean, it has been hugely expensive and this is just going

to be detrimental in terms of whether the show could survive. i'm assuming, because it's all adding to the cost that are already very high and it's not as if the post is exalts people to get stuck in and eat the flipping cake. >> it's the potential bride and groom are dancing on top of the cake. so it's all about romance and marriage . and so and it's and marriage. and so and it's not it's not a charter for fatso's to eat too much cake . fatso's to eat too much cake. >> exactly. there's nothing on the cake saying , you know, head the cake saying, you know, head to the cake shop and buy ten cakes and get fat. it's de—man. i think being boring and glum as he always is and he's just being a real killjoy and he's just wanting to eliminate any kind of fun or enjoyment on the underground . underground. >> you know what it is as well, you know? do you know what, ryan? mark, do you know what it is? as well? it's computer says no lack of humanity in any decisions. is the tfl decisions. this is the tfl statement spokesperson said

statement. a spokesperson said we welcome all advertising on our network that complies with our network that complies with our published guidance . we're our published guidance. we're always happy to work with brands to help them follow our advertising policy. you know, presumably then shuffled their papers and moved on to the next stupid point. >> it's pathetic. just just very briefly the show is great fun, briefly, the show is great fun, isn't it? it's a great comedy and romantic to me. yeah the show is great fun. >> i am no longer involved in the show anymore. i was actually in the show with vanessa feltz, ben few , and unfortunately we ben few, and unfortunately we both we both had to leave. and it's not to do with the cast. it's a really fun show. the cast is amazing . it's a really fun show. the cast is amazing. it's the it's a really fun show. the cast is amazing . it's the director. is amazing. it's the director. they're just very awful people to work for. so we were forced to work for. so we were forced to leave kyiv we had really no other choice , but actually other choice, but actually i would still recommend watching the show because the cast is amazing . they're all friends amazing. they're all friends with with me and ben. but yeah, it's a shame about the production . production. >> okay, well, those people aren't here to defend themselves , ryan, so i'm sure there might

be to that story, but be two sides to that story, but always good you. friend always good to see you. friend of channel. ryan mark of the channel. ryan mark parsons, the original parsons, one of the original actors tina's actors in tony and tina's wedding. all right. moving on, the victoria sponge wedding cakes.i the victoria sponge wedding cakes. i love a victoria sponge with a pot of tea. there's nothing nicer , right? oh, am i nothing nicer, right? oh, am i going to get encouraged for encouraging obesity for that? sorry i hope sadiq khan's not watching right. still to come, mark white joins us to discuss a row over whether police officers can flag patches as can wear uniform flag patches as a mark of respect to fallen colleagues. that's all after your morning's news with . rihanna >> bev, thank you it's 1034. your top stories from the newsroom . the standards newsroom. the standards committee has recommended that former government whip chris pincher be suspended for eight weeks. mr pincher is accused of drunkenly assaulting two men at london's carlton club . shadow london's carlton club. shadow education secretary bridget phillipson told gb news the

suspension could lead to a by—election >> suspension of that length is a very serious sanction and i think the expectation is that that would then now lead to a by—election the length of that suspension is very serious. i would also add that i do find it incredibly frustrating that once again, we're talking about at the inappropriate completely inappropriate behaviour of a conservative member of parliament, the high court set to rule if the government must hand over to the covid inquiry , hand over to the covid inquiry, bofis hand over to the covid inquiry, boris johnson's unredacted whatsapp messages, notebooks and diaries . diaries. >> the cabinet office launched a legal challenge to chairwoman baroness halletts order, arguing many of the documents would be irrelevant. the decision is expected early this afternoon . expected early this afternoon. communities across england and wales will see more police patrolling hotspot areas of anti—social behaviour here. the move marks the next steps in delivering the prime minister's

britain's newsroom on gb news with andrew pierce and bev turner right. >> a row over whether police officers can wear the union flag patches as a mark of respect to fallen colleagues has intensified after a chief constable said would pay for constable said he would pay for his to wear the badges his officers to wear the badges out pocket. out of his own pocket. >> follows a move by the >> it follows a move by the metropolitan who to metropolitan police. who else to ban its officers from wearing metropolitan police. who else to ban patches ers from wearing metropolitan police. who else to ban patches while tm wearing metropolitan police. who else to ban patches while covering |g metropolitan police. who else to ban patches while covering gay the patches while covering gay pride the pride events in london at the weekend. the force said the badges were contentious as similar stars and stripes emblems the us have been by emblems in the us have been by far right and transphobic groups. so basically they didn't want to offend the trans community. where we heard community. where have we heard that it's one of that before? oh it's one of those days, isn't it? >> when you just feel like, am i the only in, you know, the only person in, you know, the only person in, you know, the sane person in the the only sane person in the room? well, don't mean room? well, you i don't mean you, andrew, i mean you, andrew, but i don't mean you. white can you you. mark white but can you explain us how these sorts of explain to us how these sorts of decisions happen? >> , it's commissioner who >> well, it's a commissioner who is is, in his is clearly he says is, in his own words, determined to reform the metropolitan police to get

rid of what he says are bad cops. but but what this particular decision by now , sir particular decision by now, sir mark rowley, because he doubled down on that yesterday , means is down on that yesterday, means is that he's angered an awful lot of police officers in his own force. they say this is nothing to do with bad cops. it's a message, a badge , an emblem of message, a badge, an emblem of respect. you could see for those watching on television, those listening on radio, it's effectively a union flag. it's grey in a black background with a thin blue line going across it. and it's respect for fallen officers and the money goes to charity. it's extraordinary that he's doubled down on this. >> yeah, i mean, we know we often criticise the police , often criticise the police, don't we, mark? but most of the time the police do a good job. well, they're brave. they risk their lives. and we know some officers lose their lives in the line of duty. this was a way

line of duty. and this was a way of showing some sympathy, some respect them and their families. >> w- >> yeah, well, certainly there is a real row here, not just amongst many of his own officers , but other chief constable's with the northamptonshire chief constable coming out tweeting last night that actually he would pay for this out of his own pocket. this is what nick adderley says. i have offered to pay adderley says. i have offered to pay for the patch for my officers and staff , my own money officers and staff, my own money if they wish to wear it. as i'm determined never to allow a minority to twist the meaning of this patch, which risks the memory of fallen officers being dnven memory of fallen officers being driven into an abyss of hushed tones. well as i say, completely at loggerheads with what the metropolitan police commissioner , sir mark rowley, was saying. he spoke to the london assembly and doubled down on on the decision to ban these patches . decision to ban these patches. the pride at the weekend. this is what he told the assembly . is what he told the assembly. >> and the officers care deeply

and they want to show how they care about their colleagues and that creates a bit of tension and we're discussing it in the organised fashion. but the reason line is reason for taking a firm line is it drips into offices, it just drips into offices, having hundreds of badges and then policing then someone's policing something and someone's complaining, you complaining, well, we know you intended by that one, but intended this by that one, but actually it means that and actually it also means that and the this one is the reason this one is contentious, equivalent in contentious, the equivalent in the states has ended up being both a policing symbol and has been used by some hard right groups. why this groups. and so that's why this is territory . is a tricky territory. >> he is absolutely tying himself in. >> not really. isn't he? >> not really. isn't he? >> he's pathetic. >> he's pathetic. >> yeah. i mean , it may well >> yeah. i mean, it may well have been the stars and stripes badge may have been by some groups in the states. that's not happened here in this country. in any way, shape or form. this is an emblem that is designed as a mark of respect . but as i say, a mark of respect. but as i say, for those officers who have fallen, indeed, bring hughes, who is the father of nicola hughes. yes who was shot dead along with her colleague fiona

bowen, in 2012, in manchester for as tweeted to offer his support to what nick adderley has tweeted and said that, you know, this is a campaign that they must win, that officers should be allowed to wear this patch . patch. >> if you go to the house of commons, there's a plaque there for the fallen police officer, keith palmer , who was killed by keith palmer, who was killed by a knife wielding terrorist as he was to protect was trying to protect parliament. shouldn't police parliament. why shouldn't police officers loss ? officers honour his his loss? >> well, i mean, the thing is well about in terms of, you could understand policing is supposed to be without fear or favour. that's what the commissioner is getting but commissioner is getting at. but you can't afford to you know, we can't afford to take any sides or show support for any particular group by are just a few, which include the poppy just a few, which include the poppy appeal. but if you're going to include the poppy appeal and some other organisations and indeed if you've got officers wearing the rainbow flag emblems while they are taking part in the pride

march, then you're, you're doing just that. so what is wrong with with an emblem like this that seems pretty innocuous as he's got and you know it's quite low key. >> the police have got so many problems over the lack of respect for them with women not respecting them and trusting them. they don't investigate burglaries and he's banging on about this , but it's most about this, but it's most powerful corporate the powerful corporate in the country. what he's basically saying picture is saying is this picture is similar to a picture archer used in america, which might offend a few people. >> so we're just not going to bother. we're just we're just we're upset. anybody? we're doing an upset. anybody? well, about the fallen well, what about the fallen police officers? they're more important anybody important in this than anybody at mark, we've got to move at all. mark, we've got to move on, which as well, on, which is just as well, because i think i'm to because i think i'm about to have flutter the idea that have a flutter at the idea that living in this of world i'm living in this kind of world i'm sorry, it is. thank you. sorry, mark. it is. thank you. >> it'sjust sorry, mark. it is. thank you. >> it's just mad. we will keep disproportionate shining a light on for of common on that for the sake of common sense our police force. sense and our police force. >> local politics in >> right. local politics in warsaw has taken a nasty turn. a gb investigation gb news investigation has uncovered of two senior uncovered footage of two senior labour councillors leading

figures came out new report said that that we have one of the best funded health care systems in the world on on the list of 36 countries. we're number six in terms of spend, in terms of percentage of gdp. so we spend 11.3% of our gdp on health care, which makes us one of the best funded health care systems in the world. the problem is it's mismanaged. the money is misdirected, not talking about the people on the coalface, not the people on the coalface, not the doctors and the nurses. they're the best can they're doing the best they can do with what they have. i'm talking the who talking about the suits who manage suits on six manage it, the suits on six figures who are mismanaging all this and because of this this money. and because of this week's adulation for the nhs, because people are thanking them, we're not looking at the real problems that are besetting the nhs. needs a total root the nhs. it needs a total root and branch reform. i mean, these figures are incredible in terms of there are other countries that that have a much smaller spend than ours that are having much better results in terms of both, you know, in terms of

funding and in terms of outcomes as we still have one of the worst cancer cure rates in europe, we have people dying younger of heart disease of cancers. and we're not addressing that. we keep on just saying everything's wonderful. >> the strikes aren't helping, of course. >> well, the strikes are not helping. the strikes what's helping. the strikes are what's taken to 7.4 taken these waiting lists to 7.4 million. you know, it was million. so, you know, it was steve barclay yesterday who said, you know, have an nhs said, you know, we have an nhs to can he say to be proud of. how can he say that when 7.4 million people every one them in pain, every every one of them in pain, every one cant every one of them in pain, every one can't through. one you can't get through. >> try and ring your >> and if you try and ring your doctor's surgery, you're on, you're in the queue for 45 minutes you're cut off. minutes and then you're cut off. yes, true. yes, it's true. >> it's funny, though, it, >> it's funny, though, isn't it, sam? because right about sam? because carol's right about this sort of the deification that had the nhs, you that we've had of the nhs, you couldn't that. couldn't ever question that. you changed system. but changed the system. but even sajid had written a piece sajid javid had written a piece in of the this week in one of the papers this week saying it's time for us to really a royal report really commission a royal report commission. they've said we're not that, will commission. they've said we're ncjust that, will commission. they've said we're ncjust get that, will commission. they've said we're ncjust get kicked 1at, will commission. they've said we're ncjust get kicked into will commission. they've said we're ncjust get kicked into the will commission. they've said we're ncjust get kicked into the long it just get kicked into the long grass until after the next grass again until after the next election? >> mean, i think this >> well, i mean, i think this point the adulation and

point about the adulation and deification, we have deification, i think we have this very strange scene yesterday. don't know if you yesterday. i don't know if you saw, a service at saw, but there was a service at westminster abbey and had westminster abbey and you had the secretary a the health secretary giving a prayer. i know. had the prayer. i know. i know. had the prime labour prime minister and the labour leader pulpit. yeah leader in the pulpit. yeah sermonising about the nhs. now, when treat it like when you treat it like a religion that, it makes it religion like that, it makes it hard solve problems. religion like that, it makes it harit solve problems. religion like that, it makes it har it was lve problems. religion like that, it makes it harit was nigel)blems. religion like that, it makes it harit was nigel lawson religion like that, it makes it har it was nigel lawson famously >> it was nigel lawson famously when he was in mrs. thatcher's cabinet, said the is the cabinet, said the nhs is the closest thing we've got to a national was national religion. there was the evidence yesterday, demonstration of that yesterday and treat that, and when you treat it like that, it very hard to then it makes it very hard to then tackle because it tackle the problems because it becomes know, we it becomes this, you know, we it becomes this, you know, we it becomes emotion. >> it does. >> it does. >> it does. rather >> it does. rather than a practical of what is practical assessment of what is wrong service how wrong with this service and how do it. and i think do we fix it. and i think obviously the waiting list is a big part. it's one of the key pledges, one of the five pledges made minister that made by the prime minister that he dunng made by the prime minister that he during his he will tackle during his premiership. i mean, premiership. but i mean, they are that this are admitting that this is this is not going to be an easy one to tackle. >> and by deifying sam, you know, by deifying the national health all health in the way they are all you're giving these you're doing is giving these doctors the excuse to say, doctors now the excuse to say, well, so good, so true,

well, if we're so good, so true, give us the pay rise, give us the 35% pay rise. >> true. >> so true. >> so true. >> which is can't ever happen. you so it is. it is you know, so true. it is. it is very annoying. and i wish people would look at the things like the cancer survival rate. i think europe, is the we think in europe, ours is the we have five have the worst five year survival the seven survival rate in the seven biggest cancers. i mean, that's shocking. it is right. >> sam, leader on >> right. sam, your leader on the express today, this is your story the lords trying to story about the lords trying to thwart the decisions of the people . what have you been people. what have you been writing about? yeah. >> so illegal migration >> so the illegal migration bill, bill that's bill, that's the bill that's going to allow the government to swiftly who arrive swiftly deport people who arrive in . so in the country illegally. so anybody on the small boats, regardless their asylum regardless of what their asylum claim they will be able to claim is, they will be able to deport those people because they've arrived illegally. they've arrived here illegally. now hit so much obstruction now it's hit so much obstruction in the house of lords, 20 defeats this week, a record 20 defeats. shocking, unbelievable . and actually yesterday was quite interesting because it was the archbishop of, again, god welby yeah . but what was quite, welby yeah. but what was quite, quite telling i thought was lord lily. peter lilley yeah. he

954 in the morning to reports that a car had collided with a building at the school in camp roadin building at the school in camp road in wimbledon. and it says several people are being treated at the scene. and of course, they'll give further updates , 5 they'll give further updates, 5 to 10. >> they were called as caramel was saying earlier, the kids would have been in school if it is open. still, the school, the kids would have been in kids would have already been in classrooms. so that's some consolation. do we have any indication , mark, how indication, mark, about how seriously people are? >> no. no, we don't . but an >> no. no, we don't. but an indication, i think , from the indication, i think, from the london fire brigade in that they have sent fire appliances , have sent fire appliances, normal fire appliances, but also to specialist rescue tenders to cut people out of. yes, absolutely. so over. so they will attend all the major incidents where there are people who are trapped and extricating them from that situation is particularly difficult . so these particularly difficult. so these are highly trained specialist rescue units that can get people

out of the most precarious of situations . so an indication, i situations. so an indication, i think, that there are probably people trapped now. yes if the if the school is in term pupils would have been in the school. but we're told this vehicle collided with the school building. so it doesn't necessarily mean that no school pupils were caught up in this. if indeed, as you say, they were actually attending and you know, it wasn't actually during the school break, but this kind of information will come through in information will come through in in the minutes and hours ahead. clearly there will be many parents that are worried out there. police are just describing it at the moment as a serious incident, which involves a collision with a building at the school . no more detail than the school. no more detail than that because we always think, don't we? >> oh, god, is it terrorism? because that is often a method they use vans, lorries to drive

into people. >> yeah. i mean , any any time >> yeah. i mean, any any time that kind of report comes through of course there is always concern about this potential really being a deliberate act that i think the thing to add there just to try, if we can, to reassure people is the vast majority of vehicles colliding with people or buildings are as a result of accidents and not a deliberate act. so of course , it's not act. so of course, it's not worthy because it's collide with a school building . and there is a school building. and there is obvious concern because of that. but no indications that we're getting at this stage anyway, that there is anything untoward. so we just wait. what we are in the process of at the moment is a full scale emergency response to deal with the casualties. clearly we will get more of an indication and if there is a security concern , that kind of security concern, that kind of detail will come out relatively quickly over time, which of course, coincidentally ,

course, coincidentally, wimbledon tennis tournament is occurring just around the corner from this location at the moment . mean, it's an added . yeah, i mean, it's an added concern. is just on the concern. this is just on the fringes wimbledon. fringes of wimbledon. common as well. and next to a local well. so and next to a local golf course . so there's always golf course. so there's always given this massive major sporting event that's subject to very significant security around it. there is always concern about the potential will for anything happening near that event itself. we know, of course, that just stop oil launched to protests at wembley . and so security is uppermost in the minds of those who are trusted with guarding that particular venue . but again, we particular venue. but again, we must stress no indication that this is in any way linked to the wimbledon sporting tournament other than just geographical . other than just geographical. lee and the fact that of course, also it's a live ongoing incident being attended by all three emergencies, has there ever been a protest in your recollection, mark, captured

live on television where somebody throws a jigsaw pieces all over a tennis lawn and runs around somebody in his 60s who you think might know a little better at that age? >> yeah, i mean, well, perhaps, you know, while still trying to achieve what is the fundamental aim here, of course which is which is infuriate is to get as much publicity as possible. >> they don't want to totally alienate themselves with every member of the public by pouring the likes of paint on it. at least you can pick up a jigsaw relatively quickly , hopefully as relatively quickly, hopefully as they seem to have been able to do on two occasions. but but again, we should just reiterate, as we're talking about this incident of the school, we don't want to make a link to just stop oil because not, as you know, this, as far as we know, has nothing with that, nor nothing to do with that, nor would be the kind tactic would that be the kind of tactic they would ever indulge in anyway. >> and think it was a jigsaw >> and i think it was a jigsaw because they bought it once they'd got inside, it was a jigsaw of wimbledon tennis court. >> apparently. marvellous. court. >> app complete arvellous. court. >> app complete idiots,us. court. >> app complete idiots, right .

they're complete idiots, right. >> thank you, mark. well, the expression us expression for them bring us bnng expression for them bring us bring latest as you hear bring us the latest as you hear about situation in about this situation in wimbledon, won't you? >> now more breaking news >> now some more breaking news reaching the transgender reaching us now. the transgender rights has lost rights group mermaid has lost its case to have the gay rights organisation lgb alliance, stripped of its charitable status and what's been described as an unprecedented case earlier on gb news andrew doyle spoke to bev jackson and kate harris of the lgb alliance group . the lgb alliance group. >> and here's what they had to say. >> the oil for gb news. i'm here with bev jackson and kate harris . in their first interview since the decision, mermaids lost their case against lgb alliance . bev and kate, how are you feeling about this delivery ? feeling about this delivery? >> mostly happy. it's a it's a massive day for us. huge huge win. not just for lgb alliance, but for gay and lesbians , but for gay and lesbians, bisexuals all around the world. and we couldn't be happier. and it's all thanks to the loyalty of many, many, many thousands

and thousands of supporters from all around the world. but that does make us think, though, why on earth was this necessary ? on earth was this necessary? >> how could this happen that we find ourselves in court having to defend, for instance, what a lesbian is when everybody knows what a lesbian is? it is extra ordinary. all the money we've spent a quarter of £1 million in to order defend our existence as the only charity that stands up exclusively for people who are attracted to others of the same sex. how is it possible? >> yeah, i mean, you know, andrew, that this was not the case of our choice. this case was forced upon us by mermaids and stonewall, several other groups . although it's true that groups. although it's true that stonewall pulled out very early on in the project . but stonewall pulled out very early on in the project. but this was just a total , on in the project. but this was just a total, unnecessary vanity project to put across their view that there is only one point of view allowed in the united

kingdom on issues of sex and genden kingdom on issues of sex and gender. now that's directly contradicting the foundations of a civilised society. so we think this is a victory for everybody in the uk because it just underlines and when you see the judge moment, you will see quite a lot of detail on this, that freedom of thought, freedom of expression underlines what the very nature of a civilised society. and that's what we want, a civilised society where everybody can be be allowed and welcome to say what they think and what's important. >> yeah. and as a as a charity, one of our important charitable objects, the main charitable objects, the main charitable object is to prevent discrimination, to work against discrimination, to work against discrimination on on the basis of sexual orientation . and, you of sexual orientation. and, you know, we have to remember 69 countries around the world still criminalise homosexuality . we criminalise homosexuality. we need to step up as we have stepped up, for instance, in in donating to two pride in uganda

and also then there's the new homophobia in which we hear that the children at school who are attracted to others, lesbians are being told, oh, maybe you're are being told, oh, maybe you're a boy. this is the new homophobia. so we have to fight the traditional homophobia and the traditional homophobia and the new homophobia at the same time. and that's what we are doing. and we will carry on doing. and we will carry on doing that . doing that. >> yeah, i think one of the really interesting things about the judgement was the discussion on on plurality of views and the judgement says it's very interesting that lgb alliance was determined to put their view across before they were a charity and since they were a charity and since they were a charity and since they were a charity and there is no link whatsoever ever between any damage to mermaids and of course to any others who subscribe to their views . all we did was say their views. all we did was say everybody should be able to say

what they like in society on issues of sex and gender and we know where we know the fight continues. but today we're celebrating. it'sjust continues. but today we're celebrating. it's just a marvellous day for every single person who supports freedom of speech. >> and so you should be celebrating . bev jackson, kate celebrating. bev jackson, kate harris of the lesbian, gay and bisexual alliance group. i've known those women for a long time and they've had so much grief setting up this group because they simply didn't want to be called lgbt because they don't want the them, don't want the with them, because view that because they take the view that children taught that they children being taught that they can a different from can have a different gender from the were assigned at the one they were assigned at birth is a lie. >> that's their view. also >> that's their view. and also so homophobic in many ways because it's saying that it's not okay to be gay if you are attracted somebody the same sex, then you must be a different genden >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and they've had great difficulty with being recognised, but a lot of labour mps have called that group wicked and it's not wicked because i support it i think because i support it and i think those brave and we

those women are brave and we salute them. >> absolutely. joining us >> absolutely. well, joining us now this morning is miranda yardley, human activist yardley, a human rights activist . morning, miranda. your . good morning, miranda. your reaction? please to this conclusion that actually the lgb alliance can have their charitable status and that's okay? >> yeah, i think it's a great decision. it's it was only the right thing to do , given that we right thing to do, given that we live in a pluralistic democracy , i think it's very important. i'd like to underline as well that the central issue with lgb alliance is that that sex matters . there are instances matters. there are instances where our biological sex matters. it's not gender, it's same sex attraction . the problem same sex attraction. the problem that's happening with schools is that's happening with schools is that children are being told that children are being told that their bodies are wrong for their personalities, which is their personalities, which is the cruellest thing that i think that you could ever say to a child. and i think it's important that we can have this discussion and this debate

openly and that organisations can challenge what groups like mermaids are doing. >> miranda i think a lot of people watching this programme and listening to will be thinking, how is it so often, virtually every day they read something or they hear something on watch something on the radio or watch something on the radio or watch something on where there's on television where there's a row over people not giving enough ? i don't know if respect enough? i don't know if respect is the right word, but it's to do with trans. the trans community's rights. when people think a very tiny part of think it's a very tiny part of the population. an and yet it seems we spend disproportionate amounts of time talking about the issue . the issue. >> i don't know if it's disproportion . i think it's the disproportion. i think it's the defining social issue of the day i >> interesting. what do you mean by that? it's certainly got well, it's got it's certainly got a lot of reach. >> and if you look at the focus of groups which are historically have been involved in supporting the rights of lesbians and gay

men for rights such as being able to marry and to being able to inherit property and being treated fairly in the law for things like benefits and pensions and whatnot. all the focus of this has gone on to transgender care and this this, the whole idea of transgender is basically any useful idiots can be trans gender. all you have to say is that your gender is difficult. sorry is different to the gender that was assigned at birth, which is self is an empty, undefinable state, isn't what i'm saying here is that sex matters. it's very important. we need to put that on the table and not be not run away with these ideas that social stereotypes define us as. people and certainly don't define what our what our children are. >> the pressure from the trans activists is immense. miranda they exert power behind the scenes at all sorts of organisations. scenes at all sorts of organisations . and we just saw organisations. and we just saw a clip earlier of sir mark rowley,

the met police commissioner, for accepting that police officers won't wear the thin blue line union flag on their uniforms because the trans lobby see that as offensive because it is slightly like a similar flag in america, which does have negative connotations to trans. when you hear stories like that, do you wonder how we've got to that position ? that position? >> well, absolutely. everything is transphobic. the whole thing about transgender is that it's become a very, very useful tool. the organisations that are putting their support behind this are doing this not because they believe sincerely in what they're saying. you ask any of them to define transgender, they they're all at sea. it means it literally means anything . they literally means anything. they don't really support these rights . what they're doing is rights. what they're doing is it's become this latest fashionable thing that you can put your put your money behind and put your virtue signalling behind to show how pure you are and how right on you are . the and how right on you are. the whole idea is just a marketing

exercise. it's the marketing exercise. it's the marketing exercise by large corporations . exercise by large corporations. and there is there's loads of money involved in it. there is money. the whole thing behind stonewall is that stonewall lost their their raison d'etre when on the right for equal marriage was was was won in 2014. so they needed another market to break into. so cynically they do 180 on gay rights and campaign for an campaign for a ideologic viewpoint that says people are defined by their behaviour rather than anything else. and of course, in america, rather than rather than reaching the natural conclusion that being being a male or a female shouldn't should not define you entirely as a person . what entirely as a person. what they're saying is that what people what people do is connected to their to what sex they are and we have this this completely evidence free idea that children can can be can be

medicalized as if they were the opposite sex and everything is going to be fine and dandy when they grow up. >> yeah, there's obviously in america the trans america miranda the trans industry is worth billions of pounds there are new hospitals being built almost every month in america. now to just just to facilitate it. gender reassignment operations often on on younger people. and of course , those patients at that time, they become a lifetime subscriber to the pharmacy industry. do you feel like this topic is an individual children's lives are sometimes by profit making machinery without enough people to stop and say, hang on, is this the right decision ? right decision? >> well, if you look at the situation in america, well well, first thing is, i can't speak for that. i haven't seen that particularly that there are hospitals springing up, particularly to do these types of operations. but what i would say is that you'll notice that

the political action for a lot of this is coming from colleges and universities . and if you and universities. and if you look at colleges and universities in the usa and you look at health care in the usa, both of these are commodities. they're commodified in a way that they aren't in this country. it's a very, very different situation . and there different situation. and there is a there's a long standing tactic of the of the trans lobby to adopt the language and the tactics of the black civil rights movement, which they keep doing , rights movement, which they keep doing, meaning that there is a there is a equivocation in their minds that there is this idea that to be to not view trans people as their self—defined genderis people as their self—defined gender is actually an act of racism . even stonewall have racism. even stonewall have called it . you know, when it called it. you know, when it comes to dating preferences as stonewall have called called it sexual apartheid, which is an absolutely bizarre statement from a lesbian and gay rights movement. >> all right .

>> all right. >> all right. >> really interesting to talk to a&e yardley, really good to talk to you. thank you. and thank you, i think, on the right. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for coming on right. views in. right. views coming in. >> we're going to be talking to a just stop protester in a just stop oil protester in a moment justify what they did moment to justify what they did yesterday. out some of yesterday. i'll read out some of your and messages your tweets and messages to them. david why not them. emails david says, why not protest stop plastic? protest for stop plastic? i think people on think more people would be on board david and joey board with that. david and joey says, joey says, why do the companies affected take out private? why why do the companies affected out companies affected take out private against private prosecutions against these to recoup the these protesters to recoup the costs their actions? i think costs of their actions? i think joe don't they? joe means why don't they? >> a lot of people are very >> and a lot of people are very upset about the views of sir mark rowley, metropolitan mark rowley, the metropolitan police commissioner, doubling down police down on that ban on police officers badge which officers wearing a badge which is honour the fallen is meant to honour the fallen police says, i'm police officers. steve says, i'm a officer. i'm a retired police officer. i'm disgusted mark rowley's ban disgusted at mark rowley's ban on that badge. next? ban on that badge. what next? ban poppies disgrace and joy poppies is a disgrace and joy says please encourage the manufacturers thin, thin manufacturers to make thin, thin blue we could all blue line badges. we could all wear. one to joy. would. >> i think that's a great idea. um. mary says the government needs to something pretty

needs to do something pretty quickly if they hit any quickly because if they hit any cycling events in the uk or like the de in france, the tour de france in france, they could up killing they could end up killing somebody seriously injuring somebody or seriously injuring the speeds go. the races at the speeds they go. quite right. it makes you quite right. mary it makes you feel every event is feel that every event is vulnerable, isn't and we are vulnerable, isn't it? and we are going be talking, as say, going to be talking, as i say, to somebody from just stop oil after very quick break. after this very quick break. you're

unrecognised? how urgent this unrecognised? how urgent is this i >> -- >> it's a really good question . >> it's a really good question. it's not as simple as that. it's not going to be like a light switch that turns off and suddenly dies. but things are already getting so much worse. i mean, have you seen new york mean, have you seen in new york the people leave the smoke? people couldn't leave their house because they couldn't breathe? 10 million people couldn't leave their house they couldn't people couldn't leave their house because1ey couldn't people couldn't leave their house because of couldn't people couldn't leave their house because of wildfires. breathe because of wildfires. and canada, 33 million people in pakistan last year had their lives completely decimated by floods. their houses, their pets , their wedding photos washed away in one the same with away in one go. the same with the floods northern italy. the floods in northern italy. same with the 40 degree heatwave here where 1700 people died in two days as well . two days as well. >> here , did you say? >> here, did you say? >> here, did you say? >> yes last summer in 40 degrees. >> how many people did you say died? we just had a few sound issues there. in the uk, you're attributing how many deaths to climate change over a couple of days during a 40 degree heatwave last summer, 1700 people died.

>> did you get that figure from well, where did you get that figure from? it's widely reported, and i think it's even from the government's own report reported what respected body did you get that figure from ? you get that figure from? >> i think that's from the government's own reports. but if you want to talk about this, the un says, alex, sorry, you can't come on here and say, i think you're making a very serious claim. >> you have to tell us where you get information from. so get that information from. so let's try again. where did you get it from? >> the un has said that 4 million people have died as a result of what you said about britain. >> you said 4500 and so died over two days. so where did you get that? >> if you want to play that game, let me google it. i'll find it two seconds. we find it in two seconds. we haven't got time for you to google it, but just so just explain to me, alex, but just explain. >> people, those >> so those people, those british you're saying british people you're saying dropped climate dropped dead because our climate emergency they emergency is such what do they die from? what did what do they actually die that was actually die from that was related the heat in two days. related to the heat in two days. so that that figure was from the

world organisation, which so that that figure was from the vhope organisation, which so that that figure was from the vhope canrganisation, which so that that figure was from the vhope canrganis is on, which i hope you can agree is a respected body. >> they died. >> i don't they died. >> i don't they died. >> i don't i don't. i think the world health organisation has absolutely baked in profit motives and control motives to want us to believe all of this. but okay, but we all want british people to live a good , british people to live a good, healthy life. we don't want 1700 people dropping dead over two days. they get it from? days. where do they get it from? why the how did climate kill why did the how did climate kill these people ? these people? >> there's a variety of >> okay, so there's a variety of different factors, right ? and in different factors, right? and in this case, it was because of the extreme heat. so people died from heat stroke. and when the temperature gets hot enough, for example , um, when it gets so hot example, um, when it gets so hot that the sweat no longer cools you down, you literally boil in your own sweat. i know that sounds like complete exaggeration than it does actually, when it gets . actually, when it gets. >> i'm afraid it does. exaggeration >> i've never heard of any exaggeration to say that people die in fires. i've never heard of anybody boiling in their own sweat. >> what? boiling dodi. >> what? boiling dodi. >> if there's a wildfire, people

die from it. if there's a flood, people die from it. if there's a hurricane, people die before you die . die. >> this shouldn't be so funny. >> this shouldn't be so funny. >> listen . what? >> listen. what? >> listen. what? >> what? we're finding people are dying and you're literally laughing. well because it's making silly claims boiling to death . death. >> listen, to say that the climate crisis causes wildfires, if there are elderly, if there are elderly people who might be vulnerable in the very, very hot weather. >> and i agree with you on that , then those those those care homes, the hospitals might be looking after, those people have a responsibility to keep those people and provide air people cool and to provide air conditioning to death as long as you boil an egg . you boil an egg. >> i'm sorry, alex, i think >> but i'm sorry, alex, i think you're bringing you're bringing i think you need to, if you don't mind me saying, alex, i think need to grow up a bit, think you need to grow up a bit, actually, because this is ridiculous. >> oh, really? really. >> oh, really? really. >> well, i appreciate your >> alex well, i appreciate your opinion, but i'm literally 10 million could not leave million people could not leave their in new york for their homes in new york for several days because they are boiling in their sweat.

the disabled more than anything. i today there's i was really today there's something 1766 stations something like 1766 stations around country. of something like 1766 stations arounidon'tcountry. of something like 1766 stations arounidon't have ry. of something like 1766 stations arounidon't have a. of something like 1766 stations arounidon't have a ticketof those don't have a ticket office, not half, 700, 700 odd, don't have a ticket office. another 700 have them on a part time. so that means if you're elderly and you don't have a smartphone , it means you can't smartphone, it means you can't use the railways anymore. it means can't travel on means you can't travel on trains. hard for the trains. it's hard enough for the elderly to around now, but elderly to get around now, but this going to make it even worse. and the other thing is they >> and the other thing is they have machines , these but have these machines, these but you degree. you you need a degree. have you tried computer science? i don't know i'm asking because know why i'm asking you because you wouldn't. >> i'm simple one. >> well, i'm a simple one. >> well, i'm a simple one. >> degree in computer science. >> a degree in computer science. they they are so complicated. >> oh, going to be the one >> oh, i'm going to be the one who goes against this now, because actually think because i actually think only 1 in tickets now sold for in 10 tickets is now sold for a ticket office. >> can i just say no, no, no. .-.. — >> can i just say no, no, no. i'm going to. i'm just going to knock that fact right down there. because that's true knock that fact right down there is because that's true knock that fact right down ther

>> yes. if you can work it, the machine, you can work it. machine, if you can work it. >> but what i would say is i think you can't leave businesses essentially a business. you can't businesses to can't leave businesses to operate a of 1980s, operate in a kind of 1980s, 1990s world has 1990s fashion. the world has moved on and have adapted moved on and people have adapted and you can't have ticket offices where there's just a woman there all day waiting for somebody. >> not just about tickets. >> it's not just about tickets. it's information. mean, it's about information. i mean, it happened me recently, the it happened to me recently, the first time been a train first time i've been on a train for long as i can remember. for as long as i can remember. i was going to newcastle and we'd messed with it. we had messed up with buying it. we had to and talk to people. there messed up with buying it. we had to people alk to people. there messed up with buying it. we had to people there people. there messed up with buying it. we had to people there to ople. there messed up with buying it. we had to people there to talk. there messed up with buying it. we had to people there to talk to, ere was people there to talk to, which was good. >> the point of this reform is that it's instead of sitting behind a desk, still have behind a desk, you still have the they're just the staff there. they're just wandering please. wandering round. oh please. >> find one them? >> yeah. you find one of them? sam real point, sam here's the real point, because use trains a lot. because i use trains a lot. >> you go to the ticket office, they will get cheapest they will get you the cheapest ticket. and was one ticket. and there was one example. we were going to example. when we were going to norfolk i to ticket. norfolk and i went to ticket. the was in a phenomenal the ticket was in a phenomenal amount about 140, £150 amount of money. about 140, £150 went the ticket office, got went to the ticket office, got it for because you're being went to the ticket office, got it for off because you're being went to the ticket office, got it for off by ause you're being went to the ticket office, got it for off by those iou're being went to the ticket office, got it for off by those machinesg ripped off by those machines. >> it does it matter if
