to may. a basket of goods and to may. so a basket of goods and services with more services with 8.7% more expensive in may 2023 rather than may 20th, 22. and the june number is 7.9, which is below eight. we're celebrating it. it's still massively above american inflation, which is 3. eurozone inflation, which is 5.5. but psychology , it's 5.5. but psychology, it's important. it does start with a seven. and when the bank of england england next decides interest rates on the 3rd of august, there is now a proper debate about whether or not rates should rise. up until now, it's been renegades. >> we've been having that debate. >> we've been having that detl've been writing it in >> i've been writing it in my telegraph column or telegraph column for 6 or 7 weeks. we've got 30 rate rises in tank. take time to in the tank. these take time to come . the economy's in come through. the economy's in pain. the economy has now stalled officially with 0% growth on the last gdp numbers. the bank of england england should take five, their should take five, hold their horses. they won't, of course , horses. they won't, of course, they will raise interest rates, but probably not by 50 basis points in early august. but by 25, a quarter of a% instead .

25, a quarter of a% instead. >> and what we shouldn't forget, liam, inflation is coming liam, is inflation is coming down, but are still going up. >> absolutely right. >> absolutely right. >> inflation is still horrific. >> i've actually broken down some numbers. i will be some of the numbers. i will be presenting a graphic. i've not got a graphic because got done a graphic yet because i'm you. i am going i'm toying with you. i am going to full scale video wall to do a full scale video wall with grammar and with perfect grammar and punctuation. mr turner within, within minutes. but i have broken down the numbers here in preparation. drumroll for that video and let's have a look at some of them. price is are still going up. this isn't a cause to celebrate, but it's a of light when it comes to the uk's inflation issue. 7.9% in june , inflation issue. 7.9% in june, but it's still the highest in the g7 , as i said. and food the g7, as i said. and food price inflation. crikey, it's still 17.3, down from only 18. only down a little bit from 18.3% in may. no wonder why the competition and markets authority is bonnet up time at the supermarkets are they price gouging? they would deny that. are they being opportunistic? they would deny that cma

launched an inquiry in may. it won't report till the end of july. get a move on, guys. this is one of the biggest political issues in the country. and then there's called core there's this thing called core inflation, which economists like me tend to put a lot of sway on. core inflation is the inflation number. when you remove things that are particularly volatile and often imported . so subject and often imported. so subject to exchange rate fluctuations , to exchange rate fluctuations, mainly food and energy. so let's pretend it's a world where people don't eat and they don't have to heat or cool homes have to heat or cool their homes or that's core or drive cars. that's core inflation. it's the kind of underlying price pressures, wage pressures coming through, supply chain issues. pressures coming through, supply chain issues . well, core chain issues. well, core inflation was 7.1% in may, a 30 year high. what is it now ? 6.9. year high. what is it now? 6.9. so that inflation re core is still there. and the hawks on the bank of england's monetary policy committee, those people who want to raise rates more, they will be saying core inflation, core inflation, core inflation. people like will inflation. people like me will be saying, growth be saying, but growth is stalling is it your mission in life to drive the british economy a recession and how

economy into a recession and how much power do politicians much power do the politicians have because it's an >> liam because it's an independent england independent bank of england england got england now we've got the monetary committee independent, but does chancellor but does the chancellor behind the prime minister the scenes is the prime minister whacking at them? don't put whacking on at them? don't put interest whacking on at them? don't put inte politicians will say they >> politicians will say they have no constitutionally. have no power constitutionally. we an independent bank of we have an independent bank of england england. we've had it since of the leading since 1997. many of the leading economies in the world have independent bank, central independent bank, bank, central banks. because otherwise banks. why because otherwise politicians would always want to keep interest rates too low. they'd be sacrificed ing they'd always be sacrificed ing inflation for growth. they'll always want to sort of get the economy revved up and then that's what causes inflation. but look, let's be completely clear behind the scenes. andrew bailey and the monetary policy committee are under huge pressure, not least because uk inflation is much, much higher than many other comparable countries. >> do you think he's useless? >> do you think he's useless? >> well, what i what i would say is i think you can't sack an independent central bank governor in the middle of a crisis and that would make us look like a banana republic.

what i would say is what i've said for several years now. there's too much groupthink on the of england england's the bank of england england's monetary when monetary policy committee. when people were writing in people like me were writing in late early 2021, there late 2020 and early 2021, there is inflation surge coming. we is an inflation surge coming. we will literally personally dended will literally personally derided that was mad because we were looking at financial markets. we were talking to people who trade. we were talking to businesses, we weren't part of the london w1 consensus. weren't part of the london w1 consensus . we need very, very consensus. we need very, very credible , intelligent outsiders credible, intelligent outsiders who think outside the box on our monetary policy committee as we need them across our decision making structures. the uk used to be quite good at that in recent years it's become a lot more about groupthink. >> should we talk about this good news story as well? yeah. well, is it good news because we are giving £500 million of taxpayers order to taxpayers money in order to secure jaguar battery secure this jaguar battery factory ? we do. we get that back i >> -- >> well, look, it is kind of good news. this has been a bit of a virility symbol for the prime minister and the tory party know, jaguar land party you know, jaguar land

rover owned a massive rover owned by tata, a massive indian conglomerate run by extreme , seemingly shrewd, hard extreme, seemingly shrewd, hard nosed , successful business nosed, successful business people . sunak want to put his people. sunak want to put his personal stamp on this. i know people in india i can exert influence. and of course tata are very good at playing off the british government against the spanish government. who's going to gigafactory ? to get this gigafactory? >> but would the 500 million we've used as taxpayers money to lure could we have done lure them in, could we have done that if we were still in eu that if we were still in the eu with all rules on no state with all the rules on no state aid rules would have been much more aid rules would have been much mo though of other eu >> though a lot of other eu countries are still in the countries who are still in the eu break them the time, like eu break them all the time, like france, we seem to not want to break them because we're always the guys, right? but the good guys, right? yeah, but look, two minds about look, i'm in two minds about this. look, i'm very for this. look, i'm very glad for people in south west. this people in the south west. this is the is in bridgwater. it's the gravity industrial park near , by gravity industrial park near, by the way, the constituency of somerset and frome, where they just has to be a by—election tomorrow, which the tories are still likely to lose. we can say that because election law doesn't kick in until this time

tomorrow. it's my professional opinion. i think it's yours as well. andrew all of us on well. andrew and all of us on the panel tories are the panel that the tories are likely lose that, but they likely to lose that, but they want have some good news. want to have some good news. this of good news. on this is kind of good news. on the other hand, it has cost the taxpayer a lot of money and we liam, love you, but i've got liam, i love you, but i've got to up. to shut you up. >> richard tice is here and i can see richard desperate to can see richard is desperate to get in on this. just one quick response because want to talk response because we want to talk about farage. on. about nigel farage. but go on. >> be very clear. that 500 >> let's be very clear. that 500 million, that is the price of net zero and that is the price of 800,000 jobs automotive of the 800,000 jobs automotive jobs elsewhere in the uk that are at risk because of this mad drive to net zero. so this yes, it might be feel like good news, but it comes at the taxpayers expense. >> okay. talking talking of madness, we want to give you the full details about nigel farage story. you're not going anywhere. only anywhere. that wasn't your only bit. so, nigel bit. don't move. so, nigel farage obtained farage says he's obtained documents showing that coutt's bank to close his bank decided to close his account. story front account. massive story front page paper today because his views are not. because his views are. not because he fell below

the wealth threshold which the bank originally said. in bank had originally said. and in the today, what the telegraph today, here's what nigel claims coutt's bank nigel farage claims coutt's bank said 86 times in this said about him 86 times in this 40 page document. >> they use the word brexit. >> they use the word brexit. >> so they said this. they said the value is that nigel farage actively and publicly promotes and champions do not align with the banks . the banks. >> he's seen, quote, as xenophobic and racist. he's considered by many to be a disingenuous grifter . so this is disingenuous grifter. so this is outrageous. >> just he got these documents because of a subject access request being associated with nigel farage. they go on presents a material and ongoing reputational risk to the bank . reputational risk to the bank. >> and in response, the bank said our ability go on obe our ability to respond is restricted by our obligations of client confidential decisions to close accounts are not taken lightly and take into account a number of factors, including commercial viability . viability. >> any reputational considerations and legal and regulatory requirements . regulatory requirements. >> and that, of course, is

hogwash, because they briefed out that the reason farage lost his bank account was because he didn't the money in the didn't have the money in the account. here. account. richard tice is here. >> reality is you know him >> the reality is you know him well. i know nigel very well and i'm associated with him. i've had bank accounts closed, had two bank accounts closed, one reform party by metro one for reform party by metro bank, another account by tied bank. bank, another account by tied bank . i'm bank, another account by tied bank. i'm going to be sending them subject access requests as well. i suspect we'll see well. and i suspect we'll see something dissimilar. but something not dissimilar. but the is coutt's bank have the reality is coutt's bank have been caught not once , been caught lying not once, twice. they lied about the fact of his wealth that actually turns out from their own documents to be hogwash . and documents to be hogwash. and then lied about the fact then they lied about the fact whether was to do with whether or not it was to do with his pet status. think it's his pet status. i think it's incredibly serious. i've remind me what status means. me for what status means. >> richard coutt's bank to both apologise and frankly, heads should roll. >> there has to be some accountability. we own. we do 38.6. do. of this bank and 38.6. we do. of this bank and its person of what's the expression? so it's a political , politically exposed person. i'm one, but also your children are your parents are, your grandchildren are the whole

things. >> remember dominic lawson wrote in a couple of weeks in the mail a couple of weeks ago year old ago how his 16 year old daughter, who has down's syndrome, denied bank syndrome, was denied a bank account because grandfather, account because her grandfather, his father , was nigel lawson. a his father, was nigel lawson. a distinct wished former conservative chancellor who of course, was arch brexiteer . course, was an arch brexiteer. and some people would argue as a climate change denier. i mean, this is unbelievable. >> whole thing is >> it is the whole thing is utterly disgraceful . all i have utterly disgraceful. all i have to say, think nigel was was to say, i think nigel was was composed, is absolutely furious. >> if you ever known him. this ci'oss. >> cross. >> i've never known him so angry, actually as over this. i mean, you know, he has taken some abuse in his time, but this is utterly unbelievable. and as he said, he cannot open a bank account in the united kingdom. there are other ways through what they call you can't function without a bank account anymore. without a bank account. and actually not just and but it's actually not just about it's about so many about him. it's about so many other people, small business owners, who've also had their accounts closed , wondering why. accounts closed, wondering why. bit so . i bit embarrassed to say so. i know. don't want to put their head above parapet. and if head above the parapet. and if you is trouble we

you do, this is the trouble we get into. you do, this is the trouble we get and. you do, this is the trouble we getand also this is not just >> and also this is not just about nigel farage. this is about nigel farage. this is about everybody who ever voted for brexit. everybody ever for brexit. everybody who ever watches programme on gb watches his tv programme on gb news, who ever news, everybody who ever supported when he part supported him when he was part of who ever of ukip. anyone who ever supports part reform. supports his part of reform. this about everybody . this is this is about everybody. this is about than half of the about more than half of the country voted for brexit. country who voted for brexit. this is the saying, you this is the bank saying, you don't align with our values and nato nigel farage we are. we look down on you. i mean, i actually think some of the language in there is potentially libellous. >> i mean , it's definitely >> i mean, it's definitely libellous. it'sjust libellous. it's just unbelievable. and libellous. it'sjust unbelievable. and i genuinely believe that people should resign from coutt's bank and this does not stop here. it's i mean, it's some of the most shocking things. the idea that the bank decides what you can and can't say. the bank decides what you can and can't think you know fine if you want to live in china or north korea, that's what you expect. but this is the united kingdom. this is supposed to of all to be the mother of all democracies. and we are heading to be the mother of all democrethe.. and we are heading to be the mother of all democrethe mothere are heading to be the mother of all democrethe mother of|re heading to be the mother of all democrethe mother of all1eading to be the mother of all democrethe mother of all social;

by the way, in view, if you by the way, in my view, if you have a banking licence, which is frankly a licence to print money, should be an money, there should be an obligation, a universal service obligation. anybody who has the correct bona fides and has an address should be able to open a bank account, whether they're nigel farage, frankly, or whether they're the window cleaner down the road . who's cleaner down the road. who's operating business cash? operating a business for cash? absolutely >> the lies. it's the >> and it's the lies. it's the lies much. lies very much. >> actually, i didn't have >> and actually, i didn't have any morning. and liam >> and actually, i didn't have any to morning. and liam >> and actually, i didn't have any to buy morning. and liam >> and actually, i didn't have any to buy mynorning. and liam >> and actually, i didn't have any to buy my breakfast nd liam >> and actually, i didn't have any to buy my breakfast in liam >> and actually, i didn't have any to buy my breakfast in marks had to buy my breakfast in marks and spencer's. >> so i'm putting that the breakfast the bill for breakfast bill on the bill for when you nicked my glasses. >> pair. right. we've >> same pair. right. we've got to on. thank guys. to move on. thank you, guys. now, been mentioning, now, as we've been mentioning, the group, owner the tata group, owner of car giant jaguar land rover has confirmed plans invest £4 confirmed plans to invest £4 billion build battery billion to build a battery plant in somerset. >> so that's going to create thousands toolkit could thousands of jobs toolkit could be 9000 jobs when the be up to 9000 jobs when the development goes ahead. it follows the proposed battery manufacturing north—east of england into england britishvolt going into administration england britishvolt going into admi so :ration england britishvolt going into admi so istion england britishvolt going into admi so is this good for britain? >> well, let's talk to quentin wilson, motoring and wilson, motoring journalist and founder fair charge, uk

founder of fair charge, a uk campaign electric vehicles. campaign for electric vehicles. great you, quentin. good campaign for electric vehicles. great story, you, quentin. good campaign for electric vehicles. great story, right?quentin. good news story, right? >> no, absolutely. and >> yeah, no, absolutely. and it's jobs and it's investment. and also it means that, you know, we maybe won't have to surrender our motor industry to other countries. they won't move to europe. they won't use to move to the us where there's a big subsidy regime there. so it's really important to be able to send a clear signal to global investors and to make sure the motor industry stays in the uk. >> but do we genuinely think there is going to be sufficient demand for electric car batteries? quentin because if you talk to anybody that my other half's got an electric car, the nightmare of having to charge it, find somewhere to charge. i mean, i spend most of my day looking for my mobile phone never mind phone charger, never mind looking charger my looking for a charger for my car. demand isn't quite car. the demand isn't quite there is it? i guess this there yet, is it? i guess this factory suggest that. we factory would suggest that. we hope be. think it hope it will be. we think it will be the best selling car in the world is a tesla model y right now . right now. >> it's not just the best

selling electric car, it's the best selling car. so so your husband's experiences , i would husband's experiences, i would say, are different to the 1.2 million people out there who drive plug in cars. and the research says that kind of 80% of them would never go back to a combustion car. so there are people out there who folded them into their lives very happily. and the demand, look at and the demand, if you look at china, look at america, china, if you look at america, if look europe, you know, if you look at europe, you know, it's up and we're unique in the uk is that we've got this real kind of background noise from from tabloid broadsheet from tabloid and broadsheet newspapers who they don't newspapers who say they don't want electrification . but then want electrification. but then we've these issues about air we've got these issues about air quality in towns. we've got issues expensive fuel and issues about expensive fuel and energy security. so that's that's why we're doing it. so there is demand there and if we don't follow what other countries are doing, we will get left behind . it's as simple as left behind. it's as simple as that. quentin, you say that tesla is the best biggest selling in the world. selling car in the world. >> how much does a tesla cost a motorist in great britain? >> yeah, it's about 40, £40,000, way above , way above this price

way above, way above this price range of lots of people watching this program . no, no, i know, this program. no, no, i know, but you can buy second hand electric cars for as little as £3,000 now. i mean, a renault zahawi £6,000. and you can buy a second hand tesla for £20,000. and i completely get that expense. but there are a lot of people out there who are saying, right, look, i'll do it on a pcp or an hp and it costs me sort of £300 a month, which again is a whole hill of money. but there are people out there who are doing it and who really, really like it. >> i think liam halligan wants to come in. liam did you? >> yeah, i just. i just want to say, look, think electric cars say, look, i think electric cars will big part the mix, will be a big part of the mix, but. there are massive but. and there are massive vested interests who want electric cars and a lot the electric cars and a lot of the western industry western car making industry has gone electric gone big on electric cars because as western governments are legislating that they're going petrol and going to ban new petrol and diesel but in the eurozone diesel cars. but in the eurozone , in the eu, they've pushed that deadune , in the eu, they've pushed that deadline back. i think it's almost certain it's going to be pushed in uk as well

pushed back in the uk as well from 2030 to 2035. and look, a lot of the private sector are concerned that evs, in the end the batteries are too heavy. there's a lot of range anxiety. some of that will be met as the charging network rolls out. i absolutely accept that . but is absolutely accept that. but is this really the best technology? should governments be forcing us into certain technology? >> let's go back to quentin wilson and just go on quentin. just respond to that. >> okay. so, look, if the epa in california and the california air resources board didn't legislate, we would still have benzene and lead in petrol. this is all about, you know, the air we breathe. and that's why it it it has to be done. and look, there are other technologies. let's look at hydrogen. let's see if that works. but at the moment, the physics say that it's to going be too expensive and heavy and battery and too heavy and battery technology improving. technology is improving. there's a in in a fantastic company in in dundee, our only home—grown battery manufacture for called rmt power , who are doing a rmt power, who are doing a sodium ion battery , which can be

. bev with some good news. >> britains rate of inflation dropped to 7.9% this morning, down from 8.7. >> that's right. head in the right direction. but there's still a long way to go towards rishi sunak 5% target by the end of the year. let's hear the detail from our business and economics editor liam halligan with on the money . that was bad. with on the money. that was bad. >> this cost of living squeeze is still with us, but it's a bit less intense than it was. >> inflation is falling. but, says chancellor jeremy hunt, we're sticking to our plan and that plan involves interest rate rises, trying to squeeze those price rises out of the economy. let's have a look at the numbers. the consumer price index , it was 7.9% up in june index, it was 7.9% up in june 2023 compared to june. the year before. that's down quite significantly from may 2023. inflation now is lower than many

people expected and it's important that it's psychologically below that 8% level. but it is still four times the bank of england's target. and by international standards , as uk inflation is standards, as uk inflation is high, our 7.9% number forjune high, our 7.9% number for june compared to an average of 5.5% across the eurozone , continental across the eurozone, continental europe and us inflation there an enviable 3, not least because our american cousins have got much lower energy prices than us. what's driving uk inflation? it's still those pesky food pnces it's still those pesky food prices as shoppers know well. 18.3% food price inflation in may, still 17.3% in june. and many of us think in the real world, food prices are going up much faster than that. no wonder the competition and markets authority has got an inquiry going into those food prices rises an inquiry. the government is watching closely . core is watching closely. core inflation nerdy economists like

me focus on core inflation. its inflation when you strip out things like energy prices and food, which are often imported , food, which are often imported, exposing the underlying price pressures in the economy will core . inflation has not gone core. inflation has not gone down very much at all. it was 7.1% in may. that was a 30 year high and it's still 6.9. those people on the bank of england's monetary policy committee want to raise interest rates more. they will point to that number again and again. so what is going to happen on interest rates? the monetary policy committee meets on the 3rd committee next meets on the 3rd of august at rates are currently 5, having gone up 13 times since the end of 2001. they could go up again to five and a quarter or even 5.5. but but the fact that inflation is lower than people are expected in june means there is now a debate about whether or not those interest rate rises will happen interest rate rises will happen in general, though, we remain an inflation nation here in the uk, mortgage rates are set to rise

further. i'm afraid , but i've further. i'm afraid, but i've put in a question mark. why? because the bank of england may not raise interest rates now at the beginning of august. and what we call the gilt market, where the government sells its debts, those gilt yields have come down steeply this morning, suggesting that the markets are starting to doubt whether the bank of england will make a move for savers . this bank of england will make a move for savers. this higher bank of england will make a move for savers . this higher interest for savers. this higher interest rate environment is good news, but only if those higher rates are passed on by the banks , are passed on by the banks, which doesn't always happen very quickly. so here we are in the middle of this cost of living squeeze inflation nation uk. we aren't complacent, says jeremy hunt. high prices are still a huge worry. they certainly are , huge worry. they certainly are, are not, least for the tory party . party. >> well, thanks liam. >> well, thanks liam. >> always powerful stuff from liam. we're joined in the studio by the former adviser to the bank of england, dr. roger dup. havei bank of england, dr. roger dup. have i pronounce your name? walb can ask for a prediction? can i ask you for a prediction? if you were advising on that bank of england monetary committee, raising committee, would you be raising interest time ?

interest rates next time? >> i've been saying for over a yean >> i've been saying for over a year, andrew, i wouldn't have raised begin raised interest rates to begin with. mean don't to with. i mean, i don't want to disagree with my friend liam, but he's just said it. it's food and energy prices. how does raising interest rates curtail people eating? yeah we have cost push inflation down. it's not consumer spending that's driving it. so it was and is a grievous mistake to be raising interest rates and what football manager would be allowed onto the pitch for the third team game when he's lost the previous 12. it's just that all this stuff puts people to sleep. we love football. we understand it . they football. we understand it. they must not raise interest rates any more. and it is that that is perpetuating the inflation. if i can just say one more thing quickly said 1.9. great. it's nothing to do with bailey sunak hunt or anyone else cost push always runs itself out , as it always runs itself out, as it did in 2009. the then bank left it alone. they never should have

raised these interest rates . raised these interest rates. they've perpetuated the time before it started to run itself out. they've caused the inflation. could they then cut them? absolutely >> but you say it's a mistake. they can't be a mistake. it has to be deliberate. so what is motivating them to do that? >> well, i'm sorry. you're absolutely right. it's totally deliberate. we're living in an alternative reality . everybody alternative reality. everybody is talking about the fact that we're going to raise interest rates and combat inflation. i mean, it makes no sense how many times in over a year do you have to see that it's not working and hasn't happened? so they need to cut back. it's not a mistake. it's deliberate. it's stubborn . it's deliberate. it's stubborn. it's deliberate. it's stubborn. it's completely unjustified. and they need to stop. they also need to tell temporarily reduce vat , fuel duty , get the banks as vat, fuel duty, get the banks as liam just said, to start passing on some of the huge monies they've received from these interest rates to savers and a

whole lot of other things. and they need to decouple electricit obe from the gas price, which it has nothing to do with except for 20. all of that would take a giant chunk . for 20. all of that would take a giant chunk. holac not for 20. all of that would take a giant chunk . holac not monetary giant chunk. holac not monetary policy, raising interest rates, lowering , which takes two years lowering, which takes two years to work through in a week. it would take a giant chunk off our cost of living crisis. could you be governor of the bank of england? >> because this sounds very. >> because this sounds very. >> i interviewed for the job. did you really? yeah. i get asked this all the time, but i failed the interview because when they asked me what i would do with the 600 grand, i said, i don't know. >> so but but i'm still >> so but but still, i'm still confused as to why they are deliberately the economy deliberately running the economy into benefits into the ground. who benefits from not the british public. >> i keep getting asked this question. i'm running a twitter poll moment saying our poll at the moment saying our government insists on raising interest rates. and when i say our government , i mean not only our government, i mean not only stubborn . andrew bailey, not stubborn. andrew bailey, not only the gentleman that my friend alex brummer, a longtime

city editor of the mail, calls the blundering andrew bailey, who he says doesn't have the intellectual wherewithal for the job. that's pretty strong. i'm not saying that, but but he's under he's under so much criticism . you know, he's criticism. you know, he's actually having secret meetings with stop oil. he's trying to learn how to glue himself to his seat at the bank of england. why is he doing it? i said in the poll, government insists on poll, the government insists on raising andrew raising interest rates. andrew bailey the effrontery to bailey has the effrontery to tell us not to seek wage rises . tell us not to seek wage rises. yeah, not to have our business is try to make profits whilst he then turns around. and this by then turns around. and this by the way, was was only on open democracy for a week before the main media picked it up. paid £25 million in bonuses to bank of england's staff. yeah. and then when they're going to spend 7 billion that they just found out to buy some votes by getting rid of the wealthy votes, getting rid of the inheritance tax. i in the poll i say is it

that we're being scammed ? yeah. that we're being scammed? yeah. they're doing their best it or it's a conspiracy because i'm getting a lot of conspiracy stuff. 89% were being scammed. right >> jeremy hunt, of course, said as chancellor a recession may be the price worth paying to cut inflation. i'm sorry. >> jeremy hunt, who has never worked 24 hours in any finance business in his life, he ran a he ran an education company before he came into parliament. >> he's a big fan of chinese politics, though this true. politics, though this is true. >> is true. jeremy hunt >> this is true. jeremy hunt reverses himself. so a week before the fabled mansion house dinner at which messrs. hunt and sunak put their imprimatur , sunak put their imprimatur, their blessing on what bailey and company are doing. saying, yeah , more interest rate rises . yeah, more interest rate rises. hunt was actually criticising bailey for the first time, saying, this is crazy. you can't. he flip flopped . elect me can't. he flip flopped. elect me prime minister, 12.5% corporation tax rate weeks later . oh, i'm chancellor now. we got to have 25. i know . and that 25

to have 25. i know. and that 25 has been passed to us already since april the 1st. also fuelling the cost of living crisis and we've got and we've got this factory, this is great good news. >> but of course that's wonderful. £500 million. but other companies like the drugs company, we're going to open a factory in england. astrazeneca gone to ireland where the corporation is half hour and corporation tax is half hour and we've got the indo—pacific treaty, which may not be much economically. >> it doesn't, you know, i mean , >> it doesn't, you know, i mean i , >> it doesn't, you know, i mean , i said other day that , i said the other day that claiming that indo—pacific claiming that the indo—pacific treaty, sea . tpp, r't places treaty, the sea. tpp, r't places the eu when it only provides 0.8% of gross domestic domestic product . that 0.8% of gross domestic domestic product. that is like telling someone that short people are attractive when they've just had their legs amputated. you know, i mean, it's ridiculous, but it does security wise . and joining does security wise. and joining the most powerful access going these days, it's nice to see some good news that can't be criticised about this government that seems to put his foot in its mouth every 30s your hunch what will the committee do on interest rates because it wasn't

different mood music from hunt wasn't it at the mansion house speech ? it's really hard to say. speech? it's really hard to say. it's a great question. i i think it's probably 52% in favour of we will hear rousing speeches about why we've got to keep fighting inflation and it'll go up a quarter. i may be wrong with with a view to reducing it next year in the run up to an election. >> perhaps. so i mean, i do wonder how much of this is playing politics with totally all the stealth taxes . all the stealth taxes. >> do you remember the £55 billion dreadful black hole? ooh do you remember that? liz truss 25 of it was stealth taxes all past 30 of it was cuts in defence and education and they all disappeared and got shoved two years hence. they weren't real. so it's all building up a war chest to have huge tax cuts before the next general election. >> people whose mortgages have gone through the roof won't buy it. you they won't fall for it. >> you absolutely you would think to gentleman hunt and think that to gentleman hunt and

sunak themselves about to be evicted probably in a few months from numbers ten. and number 11 would be more empathetic , would be more empathetic, wouldn't you? >> you would. >> you would. >> it's a very good. >> it's a very good. >> you've got to come and see us again, roger. >> well, you so much. good >> well, thank you so much. good to pleasure. right. the to see you. pleasure. right. the conservative party. drum roll. they've susan hall to they've declared susan hall to be their candidate for the london mayoral election next yean london mayoral election next year, winning 50, 57% of the vote. >> it follows two controversial terms under sadiq khan, whose ultra low emission zone expansion comes into force in 29th august. it's hated, by 29th of august. it's hated, by the way, the ultra low emission zone expansion. is hated everybody. >> we're hoping hear from >> we're hoping to hear from susan a bit later the susan hall a bit later in the show. to say, i think show. i have to say, i think that's the decision. what that's the right decision. what do do you think it's do you reckon? do you think it's a good decision? >> i just don't think it's always win. always a win. >> well, no, that's the trouble. >> some sadiq khan, he's got incumbency. nobody knows who susan that's true. susan hall is. that's true. >> likes gb news. that's all >> she likes gb news. that's all we know about susan hall. so basically, hall talking basically, if susan hall talking to news, that means to her likes gb news, that means she likes you home, she probably likes you at home, so might be worth listening

around everywhere, people around everywhere, and people thought, pope thought, my goodness, the pope said know, the said a puffer, you know, the devil prada, but the pope devil wears prada, but the pope prefers puffer. the reality prefers a puffer. the reality was fake. and and was that was fake. and it and there was an image of zelenskyy talking putin and that was talking about putin and that was a lie. so what you can do now is basically you can recreate anything that you can imagine. so you songs can be so you have songs can be recreated. did a drake recreated. we did a fake drake with weekend and that fooled with the weekend and that fooled the world into thinking that was real. beatles were talking real. the beatles were talking about their with john about doing their song with john lennon's voice. going lennon's voice. that's going to be assisted ai . what's be assisted by ai. what's happening the moment is you happening at the moment is you can recreate scenes, i don't can recreate scenes, so i don't know you've seen the recent know if you've seen the recent harrison movie . basically harrison ford movie. basically what's there, they've what's happened there, they've de—aged him, so he's in his late 70s. for the first 25 minutes, he looks 35 and that's all done. they did that with de niro too, didn't they? >> in a film recently? that's right. >> so it's quite incredible. what can i find that quite spooky? >> well, it's also what's going to i've spoken about to happen and i've spoken about this we have to this beforehand, we have to understand what the technology can that's huge can do, because that's the huge opportunity you as an opportunity and if you as an artist, an actor, artist, as an actor, can

basically licence your image rights, you can continue earning money in your sleep. >> well, this is why you're the perfect talk about perfect person to talk about this, you are also this, because you are also a lawyer. so what these actors are objecting to the moment is objecting to at the moment is they take part a film. they could take part in a film. they literally look down they could literally look down the 60s, say the camera lens for 60s, say some generic script, and then they away. they get paid for they go away. they get paid for one work. and the one day's work. and yet the movie be and all the movie can be made and all the profits will go the people profits will go to the people who the movie. now, what who own the movie. now, what you're is they you're saying is they should have contract, which means have a contract, which means they get their $10 they would still get their $10 million whatever for million or whatever it is for that one day's work. no, you're absolutely that one day's work. no, you're absandzly that one day's work. no, you're absand that's the way to look at >> and that's the way to look at it. willis was a great it. so bruce willis was a great example. he particular example. he had a particular condition that he couldn't condition that meant he couldn't act what he did act anymore. what he did is licence his image to a russian telecom company for a particular campaign dollars telecom company for a particular c butyaign dollars telecom company for a particular c but they dollars telecom company for a particular c but they basically dollars telecom company for a particular c but they basically created llars telecom company for a particular c but they basically created itars , but they basically created it by the way you have to by ai. so the way you have to approach it you're quite approach it and you're quite right, saying right, what they're saying in america that you can do one america is that you can do one day shoot, we pay you only for one shoot, but we get your one day shoot, but we get your rights perpetuity. rights rights in perpetuity. all rights in whether now known in all media, whether now known or invented what or hereafter invented what they can those rights then,

can do with those rights then, is recreate you in many different . what you have different movies. what you have to the commercial to look at is the commercial reality it. if reality of it. so if you understand the technology and that's around the that's what i go around the world about, we have world talking about, we have equity, talking about don't let ai i'm talking ai steal the show. i'm talking to television society. to the royal television society. i'm basically presenting a program the and good program with the great and good of looking at a of the industry, looking at a way your starting way forward. but your starting point understand the point has to be understand the technology. technology technology. what the technology can your image, can do is recreate your image, recreate and recreate your voice, and basically any basically put you in any situation in perpetuity , in perpetuity. >> but how much would that cost to licence? to get that licence? >> i would say on the >> well, i would say on the bafis >> well, i would say on the basis that if you continue to act, then basically you'll be earning this amount of money. so i i say, in intellectual i work as i say, in intellectual property. look property. you look at the licence name licence meaning of your name to produce a revenue stream. so i came up with the very first sort of holograms, for example, we work with companies on that sort of basis you can recreate of basis where you can recreate the artist in history from the best artist in history from existing footage look existing footage and you look and feel though you're and feel as though you're actually the original concerts. >> it's going a concerts. >> it's going to make a lot of money for lawyers, isn't it? lawyers like like lawyers, lawyers like you, like lawyers, like have more

like you. andrew have more leisure your show. >> that's what i'd love to do. >> that's what i'd love to do. >> it's got to be this isn't leisure time. this is our job. thank you very much. because this is the thing. have to this is the thing. and i have to ask you go, what are ask you before you go, what are the jobs that people are going to do there jobs to do when there are no jobs leftand i knew you're to going >> and i knew you're to going ask that. and i asked chatgpt that very question and it said they things that only they should do things that only humans be humans can do, like be empathetic. with empathetic. but the trouble with that survey that is, a recent survey said that is, a recent survey said that was than that chatgpt was better than chatting to gp because it's chatting to your gp because it's more it's got more more empathetic, it's got more time think. time to think. >> course >> and of course what we people like terms like me, have come to terms with, they program it programs itself it keeps improving. itself and it keeps improving. >> that's thing. it's >> and that's the thing. it's going better going to get better and better all my advice all the time. so my advice to everybody the profession everybody in the profession is understand what the technology can sensible can do, but reach a sensible commercial you commercial arrangement. are you ai really an ai commercial arrangement. are you ai really an al on al or are you really an al on al? back the future? ai? back to the future? >> i think he's a he's an evil robot from future come robot from the future come to terrify always terrify us. andrew it's always fascinating. pleasure to see both you so much. both of you. thank you so much. andrew right. still andrew eborn there. right. still to children in to come, should children in schools told use pronouns? schools be to told use pronouns? that's morning's .

news. i'm gb news radio.

>> it's 1036. news. i'm gb news radio. >> it's1036. it's britain's newsroom on gb news with andrew pearson. >> bev turner, thank you for joining us this morning. now, a woman who was jailed. this story was couple of weeks was huge a couple of weeks ago, wasn't illegally taking wasn't it, for illegally taking abortion end her abortion tablets to end her pregnancy? i think was about pregnancy? i think it was about 34 a normal pregnancy. 34 weeks in a normal pregnancy. is released is 40 weeks will be released from prison after the court of appeal reduced her sentence. >> she was 45. she >> carla foster she was 45. she admitted illegally procuring her own she was own abortion when she was between 32 to weeks pregnant. between 32 to 34 weeks pregnant. she got the pills. it was during lockdown. yeah. she got the pills. it was during lociwhen yeah. she got the pills. it was during lociwhen yeacouldn't >> when you couldn't when actually made actually the pills were made available that could available so that women could have terminations home. well have terminations at home. well campaigners have terminations at home. well cangovernment to overhaul all the government to overhaul all abortion in uk . abortion laws in the uk. >> so we're joined by the former chief british chief executive of the british pregnancy service, anna pregnancy advisory service, anna faraday. this is a victory faraday. anna, this is a victory for many people like you were campaigning for this sentence to be reduced or even overturned . be reduced or even overturned. some people, of course , will say some people, of course, will say a 32 year old, 32 year old, 34 year old baby was destroyed.

what where is the justice for the for the unborn child ? and the for the unborn child? and >> well, i think i can understand and their point of view, but if you look at it from the point of view of this woman and her life and her family and if you think about the impact on on society and what is the point of punishing the woman in this way , it's not as though this is way, it's not as though this is a typical case. it's not as though women routinely up and down the country are ending their own late pregnancy . what their own late pregnancy. what is the point of the sentence ? so is the point of the sentence? so let's let's think about what is really behind this. >> and she was a mother of three children, two who she hasn't seen since. she's been in prison i >> -- >> well, exactly. i think that very often what happens is that when we think about abortion, we think about something as a kind of an abstract political

debating thing . and we forget debating thing. and we forget that for every woman who has one, there is something going on in her life that nudges her to make that decision. now if this hadnt make that decision. now if this hadn't been locked down, maybe she would have been able to attend a clinic and get completely different advice. but at every it seems to me that the best people to make a decision with abortion on is the woman and her doctor and it's difficult for politicians, i think, to insist on a framework for that. it's such a personal contingent thing in the context of a woman's life , i think. of a woman's life, i think. >> and i was i was really shocked when this woman was was sent to prison. as you say, she has three existing children, one of whom has spent educational needs. she was a single mother. it was during lockdown , perhaps

it was during lockdown, perhaps too frightened to go into hospital because of covid and i think a detail that people will have missed is that, of course, an abortion sounds of course, it's distressing, but it sounds like might been like it might have been something quite she something quite simple. she effectively birth effectively had to give birth alone at home to a baby that was practically term that probably was the size of many newborn babies. she had already put herself through an ipso extremely distressing and life threatening event . so the threatening event. so the punishment, the prison sentence can be nothing but punishment . can be nothing but punishment. it's a moral judgement. is that how you see it? >> well , but also, how you see it? >> well, but also, i mean , you >> well, but also, i mean, you know, when it comes to these decisions with any abortion, a woman lives with the fact that she has made that decision for the rest of her life. >> now . now for some women that >> now. now for some women that maybe isn't too much of a problem, especially if it's early in the pregnancy and in fact, she may see the abortion

as being no more morally important than the use of contraception. but when you think about this , i mean, the think about this, i mean, the woman herself said that she has nightmares about it, that she deeply regretted doing that. so what is the point of sending her to prison and what i honestly feel is that the criminal law , feel is that the criminal law, the imprisoning of women or doctors has no place in an abortion. i think it's a it's a moral matter for women and doctors to decide on whether or not they want it or be involved in it . and it's a clinical in it. and it's a clinical matter as to how to make it safe. and nine, neither of those is best dealt with by politics actions that are distant, laying down blanket laws. it doesn't work . work. >> it's a very old law too, isn't it? it's very old. >> yeah . i mean, so the law that >> yeah. i mean, so the law that in fact is over abortion was

passed in 1860. in 1861. that was before italy became a proper country . erg, you know, and then country. erg, you know, and then in 1967, a law was passed that said, well , in 1967, a law was passed that said, well, we're in 1967, a law was passed that said, well , we're not in 1967, a law was passed that said, well, we're not going to prosecute doctors for abortion as long as these circumstance cases are met. and that's what we've been under. so now's the time really to think what kind of abortion law does this country want ? and i of abortion law does this country want? and i think abortion is less stigmatised now . it's understood as being a backup to birth control in early pregnancy . obe and it's pregnancy. obe and it's understood to be a deeply tragic personal event in later pregnancy. and that's the way that we should frame our legislation, which i think is criminalising it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> an ceo of the british pregnancy advisory service there and farideh . we are joined in and farideh. we are joined in the studio by two of our political commentators, emma webb and sam dowler. morning

both. morning, emma. >> we talked about this when she was originally sentenced you was originally sentenced and you didn't sentenced didn't think she was sentenced to ? to long enough? >> that i think that >> i think that i think that this is wrong. and actually the point that anne made there about it being a punishment. i it being a punishment. but i think has to be think that there has to be a punishment associated with it. so obviously, fundamental disagreement there. i know you disagreement there. i know you disagree with me very. i love you, emma, but i find it amazing when you when you talk like that about about women in that in such difficult , traumatic such a difficult, traumatic situation that she's birthed a baby at home on her own, almost full term, out of a sense of desperation and fear. you can have compassion on with the woman, with the individual and recognise that this would have been a very traumatic thing that she had chose to do to. and you can recognise that whilst also recognise rising that late term abortions , there is a life abortions, there is a life involved and that is not the life of the mother. and if you believe, as you say , my body, my believe, as you say, my body, my choice, there is another body

involved, there is another human being another life being and another human life involved. whatever the involved. and whatever the desperate is, desperate situation is, i personally and i know many people, even people who are pro—choice feedback i got pro—choice in the feedback i got from last time we discussed from the last time we discussed this there lots of people this, there were lots of people who pro—choice, who were who were pro—choice, who were horrified this because they horrified by this because they also a also don't want to live in a society where lives later society where human lives later term in pregnancy can be treated in that way. so i think i think there needs to be a position is informed by your christian values. >> is that fair to say? >> is that fair to say? >> yes, but i also so don't think that it's you know, it's necessarily there are lots of people who take the same position that that late term abortion is a human life. and actually the law recognises that to people who don't necessarily believe that life begins at conception, who who also think not on the basis of any religious values that this is wrong , morally and legally wrong. >> i know where you're coming from, emma, but putting her in prison , taking away from her prison, taking away from her other three children when they lost their mum, she's a single mum, single mum . the children

mum, single mum. the children were being punished to her own children. yeah. i read by the by the court's decision to put her in. i recognise that it's a complicated situation like i said, that doesn't mean that you don't compassion those don't have compassion for those involved, to involved, but you also have to think you deter think about how do you deter others from the same thing others from doing the same thing and the is what it is and, and the law is what it is and, and the law is what it is and, and either you make the case for abortion down to birth, which i think would be morally wrong, or you can have an abortion or you have or you have to have some kind of repercussions. >> otherwise you're effectively decriminalised. >> but also the deterrent is her experience. >> that is the deterrent you don't need. you don't she doesn't need to go to prison for it. she doesn't need to be away from her three children like she already said. having already said. she's having nightmares person nightmares about it every person that an that i know that's had an abortion, don't it abortion, they don't do it because it. because it's fun. they do it. they don't because, oh, they don't do it because, oh, you know, i don't want to have a baby. traumatic for every baby. it's traumatic for every single through single woman that goes through it. and they remember it forever. this scenario is forever. and this scenario is even horrific that. even more horrific than that. so, mean, you just

so, like i mean, as you just said, know, we to have said, you know, we need to have it deterrent. but like just it as a deterrent. but like just reading the story deterrent reading the story is a deterrent to anybody. >> would you have if >> what would you have done if you judge? what was you were the judge? what was sentenced? have given you were the judge? what was sentenysentence have given you were the judge? what was sentenysentence at have given you were the judge? what was sentenysentence at all?1ave given her no sentence at all? >> have said, just home. >> fine. >> it's fine. >> it's fine. >> well, as in she she she's >> well, not as in she she she's punished. punished. punished. she's punished. punishing enough. punishing herself enough. she doesn't punished doesn't need to be punished further. you can't have. >> be clear on law. >> but just be clear on the law. you can have a termination up until weeks pregnancy in until 40 weeks of pregnancy in this life of the this country. if the life of the mother at risk or or the mother is at risk or the or the baby's is not viable baby's life is not viable outside the womb. so you have outside of the womb. so you have to clinical support . you to have clinical support. you have to have a doctor to sign that off. but that is the law that off. but that is the law that that is what this country. >> but that isn't what was the case in this situation. and i think i say this, you think it's and i say this, you know, not just from my own perspective, but a lot of perspective, but from a lot of the feedback that i got from people who were, i say, people who were, as i say, pro—choice. their position is people who were, as i say, pro-a hoice. their position is people who were, as i say, pro-a pro—life|eir position is people who were, as i say, pro-a pro—life position.on is not a pro—life position. it's a pro—choice position who who are were aghast at the lack of compassion for the child involved. >> would they be involved? the legal limit is 24 weeks. what

would you if you had an ideal world, would you not have any abortion at all? emma an ideal world. >> i mean, i think in an ideal world everybody would rather that every baby be lived and survived . survived. >> but if you were legislate, disagree, i would i would disagree, i would i would disagree as well. >> every every baby if every baby survived , we're already baby survived, we're already overwhelmed this overwhelmed with humans in this world as it is. >> my point that i want to >> my point is that i want to live in a world where every baby that is wanted. that is born is wanted. yes, that's and after that's what. and looked after and loved . and loved. >> i think there are a lot of people who are adopted who would really quite offended by really feel quite offended by that they on live. that because they go on to live. >> wanted by the >> they are wanted by the families adopt them. families that adopt them. >> know unless >> i don't know that unless until whether until they're born, whether because there are lots of parents would potential parents who would potential parents who would potential parents who would potential parents who like to adopt parents who would like to adopt babies. that the babies. but i think that the laws we have in laws that we have in this country much more country are much, much more liberal than other european countries. i prefer to see countries. i would prefer to see the time limit less , and i'm not the time limit less, and i'm not suggesting four weeks to get to a to ban abortion. i'm just suggesting i would suggest that we should we should reduce the amount of time in line with

other european countries potentially . potentially. >> let's talk about nigel farage zahawi. there's a change of direction. outrageous i think it's the front page of the telegraph. great front page of my paper, the daily mail. >> let's bring us up to speed on some of the details of it. if you just tuning in this you are just tuning in this morning, this about nigel morning, this is about nigel farage coutt's bank farage and his coutt's bank account last account on the program last night. broke the story. night. he broke down the story. have a listen. >> quote, committee >> a quote, the committee did not continuing bank not think continuing to bank nigel compatible with nigel farage was compatible with coots, given his publicly stated views that were at odds with our position as an inclusive organisation . in their organisation. in their recommendation was that once i'd paid off my mortgage, which i did in early march of this year , that my kids account should be shut down. in april, i received a telephone call to say my account was being closed. i received a letter confirming the account would be closed. no reasons given what so ever. it's only when that i complained to the chairman that i got a phone call from coots saying it was

being done for commercial reasons. well, on a 17th of november last year, that clearly wasn't the case. now, bear in mind this is important. this is not just about coots and it's not just about coots and it's not just about me , because not just about me, because natwest is part of the same banking group and they have 19 million customers. so the culture that exists within these organisations is how they treat their customers matters to a huge number of people in this country . country. >> now before we debate this with the panel, this is what the bank said in response. our ability respond is restricted ability to respond is restricted by obligations by our obligations of client confidentiality to confidentiality decisions to close accounts not taken close accounts are not taken lightly and take into account a number factors, including number of factors, including commercial viability, reputational considerations and legal and regulatory requirements. >> sam dowler that's a bit of word salad, isn't it? that's corporate, corporate speak right there. in other words, well, you busted but our own busted us, but we had our own decisions make. what do you decisions to make. what do you make of it? >> coots is a fancy bank. it's an bank. i know people an elite bank. i know people who, you pop stars, celebs who, you know, pop stars, celebs that account with coots.

positive the news is for you, that inflation has come down today. >> so it was very struggling for me, especially covid time. obviously i've nearly lost my job. i didn't have a place to work . i supposed to go to amazon work. i supposed to go to amazon to work and after that situation people managed to do everything by themselves . they was trying by themselves. they was trying to cut the hair. they did eyebrows , any facials and eyebrows, any facials and obviously it was really bad after covid as well . so instead after covid as well. so instead of two times, for example , not of two times, for example, not going to say instead of four times a year, they're coming to me twice a year right now . so me twice a year right now. so yeah, it was affecting and of course, inflation is meaning that you know, prices for the equipment you use, the products that you buy has gone up. sure. yeah. all products gone up. all my creams, all beauty side gone really up. and what i supposed to do, obviously i need to increase the price as well about

the beauty. yeah and people can't afford that one. it's really very bad but they still want to come over. really very bad but they still want to come over . they really very bad but they still want to come over. they are coming but less like before now. they supposed to pay for flu . they supposed to pay for flu. how? it's called for car. so so the living cost as well. it's increased. everything being increased. everything being increased . so yeah. increased. so yeah. >> interesting that you're talking about a change in a trend almost. anthony you're a teacher. of course, in the last week we've heard all about this. the independent pay review bodies recommendation for a pay rise for teachers. we know, of course , you know, a lot of course, you know, a lot of teachers have been on industrial reaction, industrial action as well . what's your feeling well. what's your feeling around that independent pay that offered independent pay review bodies decision. >> i get that you know that workers want pay increases to keep in line with inflation. but i think there's going to be a tipping point where if wage increases outstrip inflation, then we get into a wage spiral and the currency is devalued .

and the currency is devalued. and we kind of like get into a sort of a cycle of prosperity , sort of a cycle of prosperity, if you like. and you know, the poundin if you like. and you know, the pound in our pocket isn't really worth anything. so i think , i worth anything. so i think, i mean, the lockdown didn't help. we mentioned about, you know, cost of living with lockdown. you know, you close economy you know, you close the economy for months and you print off for 18 months and you print off £400 billion to pay people to stay at home for 18 months. people were not productive and not contributing to the economy , not paying taxes. and i think that just feeds the inflation. and i'm just it's good news that it's gone down. but i think i don't think we're but but do you think as as inflation is now coming down and that offer's been you know, the government have decided to agree with that offer, do you think that actually for teachers , are you actually for teachers, are you confident they're going to confident that they're going to agree to this, to this rise ? agree to this, to this rise? >> i can't say i've i've really got much , you know, that a 5% got much, you know, that a 5% pay got much, you know, that a 5% pay rise in september , they're

pay rise in september, they're going to get a further 5% pay rise. >> this academic year. so that's a 10% pay rise in in one academic year plus the £1,000 government pay as well for teachers. are they going to get in september ? i believe so . in september? i believe so. anything above that now i think would be asking for too much, i think. okay mark, you're a business owner. >> what was your reaction to when you heard that that figure come out this morning, that inflation gone down? inflation has gone down? >> positive . it's >> well, it's positive. it's positive for hard working families . it positive for hard working families. it might resist the bank of england putting an interest rates up again tomorrow . but i think, you know, we're not i don't think rishi sunak should be taking any plaudits for this because at the end of the day, was the person the day, he was the person that created the inflation in the first place by putting £540 billion into the economy while people sat at home doing nothing . and, you know, so i kind of liken it really to he knocked down the house and then well, he knocked down the house and then

he offered to half build it because his offer is to half inflation. and he hasn't even done that. so you know, if he thinks he's getting any plaudits from me , he's not because he from me, he's not because he creates this mess. he can't blame anybody else and he can't blame anybody else and he can't blame the war in ukraine and he can't blame energy prices . it's can't blame energy prices. it's all on his head. can't blame energy prices. it's all on his head . and that is the all on his head. and that is the bottom line where we're at. but it's good news. it's good news that it's coming down. but i don't think at 12:00 he should be in question time sort of trying to make any political gains out of it is probably the way i put it. >> okay, mark, thank you very much. thank you very much to our panel have joined us here. panel who have joined us here. initially here morning. initially here this morning. back you . bev and andrew, back to you. bev and andrew, thank you , jack. thank you, jack. >> jack carson in birmingham, always good get in the regions. >> and our second city, of course, birmingham. people often forget that. course, birmingham. people often forgl t that. course, birmingham. people often forgl mean, i would say >> i mean, i would say manchester second, of coui'se. >> course. >> well, but i would say that birmingham of birmingham don't make enough of the second. no, they the fact that a second. no, they don't. see sign

within. coutts it was a kind of dossier. it wasn't the minutes of a meeting has been reported on the bbc. it was a dossier that coutts put together and it wasn't. let's have a look at nigel farage. the dossier was basically read like reasons we need chuck nigel farage out need to chuck nigel farage out of our bank because of quotes. he doesn't align with our values and purpose. many many mentions of brexit, which of course , of brexit, which of course, which of course 17 million voters voted for in this country . many, many mentions of his links to russia , which have been links to russia, which have been completely disproved in the courts. many, many mentions of donald trump, which whichever you him , he the you think of him, he was the democratically leader of democratically elected leader of the most important democracy on earth. >> and don't forget, the tennis player was in the wimbledon final mentions are the fact that he's friends with with novak djokovic, you know, possibly the greatest player of all greatest tennis player of all time, greatest advocate for autonomy freedom of bodily autonomy and freedom of bodily choice. >> so all time this is an issue because , you know, coutts is a because, you know, coutts is a bank. it's got a banking because, you know, coutts is a bank. it'right?a banking because, you know, coutts is a bank. it'right? if)anking because, you know, coutts is a bank. it'right? if you've got

licence, right? if you've got a banking licence, your obligation is to with the law and is to adhere with the law and provide a service for your customers and hopefully make a profit for your share holders. what has that got to do with excluding because you excluding somebody? because you don't like the cut of their political jib ? and on top of political jib? and on top of that. coutts allegedly told the bbc and the financial times which those journalist organisations then report cited without caveat or nuance that the fact quotes that nigel farage didn't have enough money in his bank account to keep one of these hoity toity coutts bank accounts. this dossier from within. coutts admits that he did not have enough money, so it was all about politics and he says as xenophobic, says he's seen as xenophobic, he's as racist, he's he's seen as racist, he's considered by many to be a disingenuous grifter who is, who is many they're talking about? >> people coutts bank, >> many people at coutts bank, many, many spotty youths who are working who've made decisions. >> the what they >> what was the what was, they say associated with say being associated with represents a reputational risk to bank. to the bank. >> they've damaged their reputation by this. reputation by doing this. >> it's massive blunder by >> it's a massive pr blunder by coutts. it's going to end them

up. going up up. they're going to end up possibly with libel case. possibly with a libel case. they're certainly to they're certainly going to end up of a committee of up in front of a committee of the house of commons and maybe the house of commons and maybe the lords as well. i'd the house of lords as well. i'd end on this note . there are many end on this note. there are many journalists at the treasury thing last night who don't like nigel farage very much, and frankly, gb frankly, they don't like gb news. like anything news. they don't like anything about people about us, even though people like us have been working at the top . this country's top of this. this country's media establishment for many, many years. and yet and yet some of the most remaini and brexit seniorjournalists of the most remaini and brexit senior journalists last night were looking at me and they've known me for many years. they known me for many years. they know i'm not to going lie to them. and they were saying, wow , that's astonishing. it , wow, that's astonishing. it is. that's awful. that's outrageous. and even grant shapps gb news this morning, shapps on gb news this morning, a senior conservative talking about nigel farage, somebody who spent his whole adult life winding up the conservative party, you know , disembowelling party, you know, disembowelling the lviv party the conservatives lviv party electorally, even grant shapps and good on him said this is utterly outrageous from coots

totally unacceptable . totally unacceptable. >> and the labour party spokesman on breakfast was could barely bring himself much more mealy mouthed, and he denied he was even across the story. >> even though it's on the front of the press. of the nation's press. >> liam is esg. this is >> liam this is esg. this is environmental , environmental and environmental, environmental and social governance. this is what is being baked into all sorts of corporations. this idea that you've be good or you've you've got to be good or you've got majority, got to represent the majority, the minority is the tyranny of the minority is what it is. and it's about doing the right thing and appearing to be it's basically it's a be kind. it's basically it's a very, left leaning sort of very, very left leaning sort of communist the world communist vision of the world thatis communist vision of the world that is being infiltrate , eating that is being infiltrate, eating all of our big corporations at the top. and everybody's then too frightened . too frightened. >> and who decides anybody? are they what the good? they to decide what is the good? well, think lot this kind well, i think a lot of this kind of kind mentality, which is of be kind mentality, which is sometimes brought together under the heading esg, as you as you say , bev, it seems to be the say, bev, it seems to be the majority view at smart dinner parties in certain posh london postcodes. >> but the likes of us, the three of us, given our

backgrounds, we know that these views are completely mad to the vast majority of the population of this country. dc aren't law abiding people who may not be wealthy, but they get up every morning and they go to work and they're decent people and they make country run and make this country run and there's such a there's a bigger disconnect our disconnect act between our political and media class in this and our ordinary this country and our ordinary people than certainly since i've beenin people than certainly since i've been in journalism since the early 90s. and i'm sure you feel the same way, andrew, and with huge respect, you've been around a me. yeah. a bit longer than me. yeah. >> you for that. banks >> thank you for that. the banks what done about this? what can be done about this? >> i think there's what can be done about this? >> going< there's what can be done about this? >> going to 1ere's what can be done about this? >> going to bez's what can be done about this? >> going to be questions certainly going to be questions asked legality asked about the legality of this. think. they will. this. i think. coots they will. they they are still denying wrongdoing. we must say that even though the nigel isn't claiming these things . right? claiming these things. right? he's not alleging that he's got evidence. he has got the evidence. he has got the evidence. okay. the pdf of the internal report by coots trying to sling him out of their bank is now on his twitter feed as a

pdf . anyone can read it. any pdf. anyone can read it. any journalist who now says alleged isn't doing their job because it's their in black and white pages. but coots still deny wrongdoing, which is their right. and i'm happy to report that. think there are that. but i do think there are going be fines do think going to be fines and i do think the of commons and the house of commons and the government get government is going to get involved. i know for a fact that the secretary to the the economic secretary to the treasury, griffiths, has treasury, andrew griffiths, has not to nigel not only written to nigel farage, you know, his sworn farage, his, you know, his sworn political enemy, reassuring farage, his, you know, his sworn poligovernment reassuring farage, his, you know, his sworn poligovernment takes uring farage, his, you know, his sworn poligovernment takes it ng the government takes it seriously. he's also written to coots. >> i used, you know, i used to i didn't used be nigel, his didn't used to be nigel, his biggest fan . i did not. and then biggest fan. i did not. and then i started actually listened to what he was saying rather than just reading the headlines, rather than just going with the simple caricature that is this evil racist, which is what he gets called all the time. do you actually and listen to what actually stop and listen to what he's and particularly actually stop and listen to what he's the and particularly actually stop and listen to what he's the pandemicticularly actually stop and listen to what he's the pandemic when ly actually stop and listen to what he's the pandemic when he during the pandemic when he was all out some all about calling out some ridiculous decisions ? i think ridiculous decisions? i think this is outrageous , the word this is outrageous, the word they use against him, which is wrong. he says he's disingenuous. we've got to just read out again, for the record ,

just to be, you know, the just going to be, you know, the tory the current tory government's. it's millstone government's. it's the millstone around it's going to around their neck. it's going to be this for a long i mean, be like this for a long i mean, i know if labour, when i don't know if labour, when they year will be they get in next year will be able anything different. able to do anything different. >> don't plans do they. >> well i mean they say they're going to sort out the people smuggling but that's what going to sort out the people smltories] but that's what going to sort out the people smltories have. but that's what the tories have. >> need to do is >> what they need to do is increase and get increase funding and get and get them processed because them processed quicker because i mean, this talk about mean, i mean all this talk about housing on housing them in hotels in on cruise ships, etcetera, if, if they processed quicker and they were processed quicker and they were processed quicker and they with they and they could deal with them then wouldn't them quicker, then we wouldn't even have this problem. >> bless them. >> emma god bless them. >> emma god bless them. >> farcical, it. >> it's farcical, isn't it. it's. boats have been it's. so these boats have been sent their owners sent back to their owners because couldn't find because they couldn't find anywhere the anywhere to dock. and we saw the amount you know, the amount anywhere to dock. and we saw the anpushbackou know, the amount anywhere to dock. and we saw the anpushback from ow, the amount anywhere to dock. and we saw the anpushback from local|e amount anywhere to dock. and we saw the anpushback from local people|nt anywhere to dock. and we saw the anpushback from local people in of pushback from local people in portland against the bibby stockholm being docked there. and we'll see how that goes. i think that's going to end pretty badly as well. and the government, i think it's tomorrow. they're hoping to get royal for the migration royal assent for the migration bill. but course that can't bill. but of course that can't be effectively enacted until the supreme court give the go ahead

on the rwanda plan. so that they can actually send people who come illegally if they give the go and actually think go ahead. and i actually think that, you know, you mentioned the labour party . if we think the labour party. if we think the labour party. if we think the situation is bad under the conservatives, situation is conservatives, the situation is going to be so much worse under the labour party because the conservatives are at least they the labour party because the cons are tives are at least they the labour party because the cons are fores are at least they the labour party because the cons are for a are at least they the labour party because the cons are for a longt least they the labour party because the cons are for a long time;t they the labour party because the cons are for a long time i they the labour party because the cons are for a long time i think they are for a long time i think they are for a long time i think they didn't have the political will. now they seem to have got the they're the political will. they're really hard to try and really fighting hard to try and do something about this , but do something about this, but they're at every they're being hamstrung at every turn by by lawyers, sometimes by activist lawyers . i think under activist lawyers. i think under the labour party, this situation will be so much worse. but the reality is that this is farcical and it can't go on because this is a security risk . is a security risk. >> and on the labour party and we shouldn't forget sam's we shouldn't forget and sam's you they voted against you on this, they voted against every single stage of the illegal migrants bill, every single in house of single time in the house of lords and the house of commons. >> and actually it was also in the press today about the number of about to of terrorists who are about to be from prison is going be released from prison is going to be a long term challenge for

the security services. and within those reports today's within those reports in today's papers . so they were very clear papers. so they were very clear that, you know, the government expect that these routes are going exploited by going to be exploited by terrorists who are coming into the illegally. the country illegally. this is absolutely necessary for security to get this under control because we do not know who is coming into our country. and i think people will be looking at this and thinking this is just so farcical. we just need to get this sorted , just need to get this sorted, whatever it takes . whatever it takes. >> what are you what do you think? >> i think it is quite have got no real plan. >> have they? >> have they? >> well, we will find out when they when they come power. they when they come into power. it'll their manifesto if it'll be in their manifesto if they're alternative. >> yeah. >> e“ n em- em— e i agree they should >> and i and i agree they should have an alternative. but they voted against it because parts of it are cruel. of it parts of it are cruel. it's trumpian that it's very trumpian to say that they're terrorists, they're they're terrorists, rapists flooding rapists and all coming flooding across our country, into across into our country, into our border, blah, blah, blah . our border, blah, blah, blah. >> majority all it's >> the majority all it's realistic to note some realistic to note that some people will come like a like a tiny , tiny amount, which is why

tiny, tiny amount, which is why they need to be processed just as a security, is as much of a security, which is why they need to be looked and looked into backgrounds, etcetera. >> are they, for >> are they are they, for example, lgbtq? and they're coming because coming into the country because they their lives in coming into the country because they own their lives in coming into the country because they own country, lives in coming into the country because they own country, so as in coming into the country because they own country, so they their own country, so they decide when they're decide they're lgbt when they're crossing the channel because they them asylum. >> well, that's obviously something could abused >> well, that's obviously somthat|g could abused >> well, that's obviously somthat was could abused >> well, that's obviously somthat was oneyuld abused >> well, that's obviously somthat was one ofd abused >> well, that's obviously somthat was one of the abused and that was one of the amendment that was added the amendment that was added in the lords. it obviously lords. it it's obviously something people something that certain people who mick who want to take the mick will use to the yeah or use to take the mick. yeah or they've to point they've been smuggled to point out is an obvious out that this is an obvious security . it's security security risk. it's a security risk it's risk in the obvious sense. it's also to the people in the also a risk to the people in the in the communities like in portland, where people are being housed. don't know who housed. if you don't know who people for people are, you don't know for certain they not certain that they are not involved and it's involved in something. and it's also routes also because these routes are being that they're being being we know that they're being exploited albanian exploited by albanian criminal gangs. this is to do with gangs. so this is to do with crime. this is to do with security. is to with security. this is to do with terrorism. that's to say terrorism. that's not to say that coming in is. but that everybody coming in is. but it be unrealistic and it would be unrealistic and naive suggest that there naive to suggest that there isn't security risk. isn't a security risk. >> well, and i also think i'm sorry, them possibly sorry, a lot of them possibly the majority of them are economic young economic migrants, young men in

their and their 20s and 30s. >> they're from safe >> they're coming from a safe country, france a safe country. >> france is safe. well, what's country. >> frawith s safe. well, what's country. >> frawith france? vell, what's wrong with france? >> bring them them. >> bring them in. give them. bnng >> bring them in. give them. bring them in. give them a job in them a job in in labour. give them a job in all jobs, the jobs that all the jobs, all the jobs that brits give brits don't want. give them a job as toilet cleaners that people to do. people don't want to do. >> got enough school, >> we haven't got enough school, we got enough and we haven't got enough roads and got hospitals have all hospitals all got enough hospitals to have all these got enough hospitals to have all got enough hospitals to have all these got enough hospitals to have all the that's an offensive >> that's quite an offensive the that's an offensive thing say. a driver thing to say. isn't a cab driver the other with somebody who the other day with somebody who had crossed illegally and he was the other day with somebody who h.doctorsed illegally and he was the other day with somebody who h.doctor from legally and he was the other day with somebody who h.doctor from eritrea.and he was the other day with somebody who h.doctor from eritrea. right. was the other day with somebody who h.doctor from eritrea. right. sons a doctor from eritrea. right. so the idea that we should the idea the idea that we should bnng the idea the idea that we should bring give bring people in and then give them jobs, scrubbing toilets surely than surely is more offensive than suggesting that there is a reasonable suggesting that there is a rea�*i'mible suggesting that there is a rea�*i'm talking if they were >> i'm talking if they were economic i'm if economic might i'm talking if they i'm saying they were economic. i'm saying if were economic migrants. if they were economic migrants. that's it might be. that's not not it might be. obviously, some of them obviously them obviously some of them are doctors. it's a it's doctors. and i mean, it's a it's a that he even has to a scandal that he even has to drive a i was speaking i drive a cab. i was speaking to i was to migrant the was speaking to a migrant the other day who who was currently having to go dental nursery having to go to dental nursery school, dental nurse school or dental yes. that's dental dentistry. yes. that's it. already it it. but she'd already done it back in iran. she has to do back in iran. but she has to do it again in this country. and she's and she's doing it. but, you obviously, don't

attorney general has said that that in order to do that, you would need to legislate it because it would be in conflict with with the equalities act, which protects a gender transition in. but what it does is it protects the right of people who have transitioned. and i think that the it's important to emphasise that the concern here is to do with safeguarding children . so this safeguarding children. so this is not, you know, this is this is not, you know, this is this is not, you know, this is this is not some sort of cultural culture, war, straightforward culture, war, straightforward culture war battle. this is about making sure that children are safe in school. >> we've got to go to some breaking news here, suella braverman, secretary, braverman, the home secretary, she's what's she she's just tweeted, what's she saying, she's just tweeted, what's she say she's saying the coots >> she's saying the coots scandal exposes the senate chennai six sinister nature of much of the diversity , equity much of the diversity, equity and inclusion industry . and inclusion industry. apparently, anyone who wants to control our borders and stop the boats can be branded , xenophobic boats can be branded, xenophobic and have their bank account closed in the name of inaya inclusivity. >> well said. blimey >> well said. blimey >> suella braverman says that god bless suella braverman well
