3:07 pm
now. teaching kids now. essentially teaching kids that are white supremacy is that they are white supremacy is look for children to look at the push for children to become gender neutral and androgynous breakdown androgynous. the breakdown of the traditional nuclear family is upon us. we see companies virtue signalling at every opportunity, whether it's for black history month, pride month, it's a shame that they don't have a let's not shamelessly profiteer and rip off the customer month. that would wouldn't would be nice, wouldn't it? hardware store wix coming out and basically calling customers who think that women are women ignorant now now ignorant bigots. and now now banks and financial institutions . as nigel farage has exposed coots and like dominos, others will now follow thousand of people will come out of the woodwork to say that they've been treated. the same way. nigel didn't align with the bank's values. apparently they mentioned his views on brexit, wanting to cut immigration and push back on net zero. well that means that most people don't augn means that most people don't align with their values. if you try to debunk the establishment , the establishment will debunk
3:08 pm
you. they will try to ruin you financially. they will non—person you, and then the useful idiots in the media will try to help with a character assassination. the bbc gleefully tweeting that nigel basically didn't have the funds, so they shut his account. well, gosh, thatis shut his account. well, gosh, that is a wilful breach of gdpr, if ever i've heard one. the kind of thing that if one sued a company for it, then one would certainly expect to have enough funds after that to set up an account at coots . jon sopel, who account at coots. jon sopel, who has used his newfound freedom from the shackles of the bbc to cosy up to the likes of tony blair and emily maitlis. i mean, he's hardly a tourist, is he? so paul comes out and calls for raja. charlie based on an incorrect leak to his former employer, course, could employer, who of course, could neven employer, who of course, could never, wrong. so paul is never, ever be wrong. so paul is the massive charlie now isn't he? it won't bother him that everybody thinks he's a slippery, out touch he will slippery, out of touch he will just surround himself with luvvies and types who luvvies and media types who reinforce his echo chamber and help carry on living the help him to carry on living the lie he's actually really lie that he's actually really well respected. and then social
3:09 pm
media outlets will try to de—platform him you as well, won't they? i had this experience recently where i tweeted a joke and then a mob picked it up, ran with it and got me a lifetime ban from twitter that actually lasted less than 24 hours because the majority of people saw sense and went bat. for me , helping went into bat. for me, helping to a farce the whole to expose what a farce the whole thing really was . but this to expose what a farce the whole thing really was. but this is how it works . there is a set of how it works. there is a set of values pushed on kids. it's pushed on to people on the high street and through media advertising. then there are reputational implications in the media. then there is a de—platforming on social media, and then there are financial implications for not adhering to those values. and all of this ultimately leads to the most devastating thing of all self censorship in the home and in polite company. why because nobody wants that stuff to happen to them. and then the dystopian orwellian symphony of indoctrination is complete, isn't it ? and what i find very isn't it? and what i find very noticeable is that the people who try to claim this doesn't
3:10 pm
exist and isn't happening tend to hold the very same views and values , views that are being values, views that are being pushed on everyone so they don't really care but is really care. but this is a problem society because most problem for society because most people don't have nigel farage platform or my ability to come on national television and garner support to garner public support to push back twitter. so it just does back at twitter. so it just does for most people . it finishes for most people. it finishes them off and i think about how often this must be happening in society. we are heading , often this must be happening in society. we are heading, in my view, a chinese style social view, for a chinese style social credit system . if we don't push credit system. if we don't push back now . vaiews@gbnews.com and back now. vaiews@gbnews.com and the great news is that nigel farage will join me live in this studio at 520 this evening . but studio at 520 this evening. but but but of course, there is other big news in town and we have it a depressing landmark in the small boats crisis. gb news can reveal that the number of migrants who have the migrants who have crossed the channel has now channel this year is has now passed 14,000. should get the
3:11 pm
passed 14,000. we should get the party poppers out or something, shouldn't or greet them with shouldn't we? or greet them with a on a brass band. but viewers on gb news see the news can see some of the migrants who have got to dover today official office today. official home office figures that 574 people figures confirm that 574 people crossed in 12 small boats yesterday, but gb news can now confirm that more than 300 others arrived in small boats this morning. i am joined by gb news home security editor mark white. mark, lots for us to go out here because we've had two migrant cruise ships that apparently are not going to be able dock anywhere, but also able to dock anywhere, but also loads crossing loads of migrant boats crossing the channel as well. >> an indication of >> well, as an indication of just level of the crisis just the level of the crisis that the government it that the government faces, it says that , you the numbers says that, you know, the numbers are because as the are down because as the government's small boat policies are working. but actually we know it's the weather. and any time weather improves, the time the weather improves, the small come . and yesterday small boats come. and yesterday out in the channel you can see these images of a small boat there. the zoom in to that boat that was intercepted by border force as they intercepted effectively stopped and picked up the occupants and then took
3:12 pm
them to portsmouth for processing . as you mentioned, processing. as you mentioned, there are 574 on yesterday and 12 small boats acas. but they kept on coming overnight. more were coming. our producer moeen ali down there at 2 am. wow filming these images for us. so he certainly puts a shift in. he saw three boat loads that were taken off those border force vessels and then again on after first light. today, another four small boats. so we're well over 14,100 already. and once the weather improves and we get flat calm conditions, it will continue to . continue to. >> just tell me a little bit quickly, mark, about these two cruise ships. we were talking a lot the bibby in lot about the bibby stockholm in portland were, portland yesterday. there were, i believe, supposed to be two cruise ships in edinburgh, an
3:13 pm
and liverpool as well on teesside and teesside, various ports have been trying. >> yeah, this was announced by rishi sunak last month when he told us that small boats plans were all working, that they wouldn't just be the bibby stockholm, but they would also lease a couple of cruise ships. one of those, the ms victor gao , has been up in edinburgh. it was home to ukrainian refugees for quite some time . it has now for quite some time. it has now left edinburgh . it's gone. we left edinburgh. it's gone. we know not where. some suggestions back to the owners, but it's been made clear to me that the home office still continues to lease this and it sister ship and is still looking at the possibility of getting a mooring in one of the ports around the uk at some point so they can put asylum seekers on board. >> let's just leave that picture up if we can for a second there. i mean, you put an all you i mean, if you put an all you can buffet, a waterslide and can eat buffet, a waterslide and a bang average cabaret acts on that, would happily spend
3:14 pm
that, i would happily spend a couple of weeks there, but maybe that about me than that says more about me than anyone thank anyone else. mark white, thank you home security you very much. our home security edhon you very much. our home security editor. have just talked editor. now, we have just talked about cruise ship about that migrant cruise ship and ships that at the and indeed ships that at the moment remain unoccupied . and moment remain unoccupied. and but asylum seekers have already moved weathersfield moved into weathersfield airfield in essex this is one of the reasons why i am floating. i'll be talking about a bit later on the idea that we should just one these cruise just slap one of these cruise ships outside the houses just slap one of these cruise sh parliamenttside the houses just slap one of these cruise sh parliament to ie the houses just slap one of these cruise sh parliament to justie houses just slap one of these cruise sh parliament to justie hc how of parliament to just see how they but there are they like it. but there are already problems apparently at wethersfield, office already problems apparently at wet confirmed office already problems apparently at wet confirmed one office already problems apparently at wet confirmed one man office already problems apparently at wet confirmed one man is fice already problems apparently at wet confirmed one man is now has confirmed one man is now being for scabies, which being treated for scabies, which has as an asylum has been used as an asylum seeker accommodation since last week. that is that is at that site and locals are accusing the home not screening home office of not screening migrants before they migrants properly before they moved in. and they say that there problems with there are problems with sanitation well. i can sanitation there as well. i can go live now to wethersfield and speak to nick godley , who's the speak to nick godley, who's the chair of the parish council, and local resident dave price as well. we got two for one here for tastic. okay who to start with, nick? you what are the problems .
3:15 pm
with, nick? you what are the problems. nick >> yeah, i'm sorry you broke up. >> yeah, i'm sorry you broke up. >> can you repeat the question? >> can you repeat the question? >> what are some of the problems that you're facing ? well well, that you're facing? well well, the problem in the village are largely those of anticipation in the asylum seekers haven't actually caused us any problems as yet. >> the people believe they have. >> the people believe they have. >> for example, last night there was a huge furore. >> we had a police roadblock and a helicopter and a great carrying on which which people assumed was down to the asylum centre . but actually it wasn't. centre. but actually it wasn't. it was a false alarm. but because the home office are so secretive and so down right, unhelpful about telling us anything that's going on, anything that's going on, anything that's going on, anything that happens, people immediately assume is something to do with the centre. now there seem to be a lot of problems at
3:16 pm
the centre as you mentioned. i think with sanitation, with the water. >> okay . i think we are >> okay. i think we are struggling a little bit with the signal there. so what we will try to do is we will try to go back to wethersfield and i do think it's interesting again , think it's interesting again, this has flown under the radar a little bit that the home office has confirmed that one man is being for scabies at being treated for scabies at wethersfield , which is, of wethersfield, which is, of course, deeply unfortunate for the and be the chap himself and will be deeply unfortunate for anybody around it does again around him. but it does again speak i think of the speak volumes. i think of the lack screening and the lack lack of screening and the lack of attention was of medical attention in this was something that supposedly something that was supposedly going with going to have been dealt with local residents under local residents there were under the impression anyway, that anyone who arrived at that site would have had some kind of health before they health screening before they went local area. went into their local area. again it's important to know that it's especially vital for the area , given that there the local area, given that there are supposedly trips out of are supposedly day trips out of that particular into the that particular site into the said locality and that, of course, will be an issue and a concern for anybody who happens to be there at the time. just
3:17 pm
very, very quickly, mark, why is still with me mark, thank still with me now? mark, thank you much. this issue of you very much. this issue of scabies, is of vital scabies, i think is of vital importance people importance because people always bang they? they bang on, don't they? they go, oh, can't possibly that bang on, don't they? they go, oh, are an't possibly that bang on, don't they? they go, oh, are going>ssibly that bang on, don't they? they go, oh, are going toibly that bang on, don't they? they go, oh, are going toiblyhealth at there are going to be health risks. this is one of those ridiculous red lines that there are at moment. are in the sound at the moment. we talk about the health we can't talk about the health connotations of having this channel well, channel migrant crisis. well, actually, channel migrant crisis. well, act|yeah. there a significant >> yeah. there is a significant issue. remember the issue. we remember the processing last year, processing centres last year, outbreaks scabies. now the outbreaks of scabies. now the authorities are keen to stress that that's not scabies, that they're picking up in these processing centres . it's processing centres. it's diseases that they're bringing with them from living rough in the jungles of calais and dunkirk and down in boulogne for weeks on end and some of them coming with pre—existing conditions, others that they've picked up in these camps. conditions, others that they've picked up in these camps . yes picked up in these camps. yes and yes, it absolutely points to and yes, it absolutely points to an issue of screening. sometimes these diseases don't show up right away, but there is a significant problem. then

3:24 pm
it's a step in the right direction, isn't it? gb news is, of course, the people's channel, so we want know how inflation of course, the people's channel, so vthe ant know how inflation of course, the people's channel, so vthe cost know how inflation of course, the people's channel, so vthe cost of;now how inflation of course, the people's channel, so vthe cost of livingow inflation of course, the people's channel, so vthe cost of living crisislation of course, the people's channel, so vthe cost of living crisis istion and the cost of living crisis is affecting real people. and we can cross live now to our west midlands reporterjack can cross live now to our west midlands reporter jack carson, who's in birmingham for us, i believe with some real people. jack, what's going on? >> well, real people are real well, real people live in birmingham. patrick in the midlands , with manufacturing, midlands, with manufacturing, with all kinds of different businesses of course, this is where inflation really matters and really actually impacts people's lives. we've got a panel here. we've been speaking to the people's panel here for gb news all day. we'll start with you , sabrina. you are not with you, sabrina. you are not only a mum, but a social entrepreneur. as well within your work. what are you actually finding the impact of inflation is on the ground. >> so within the work that we do with our charity, we've seen children families really, children and families really, really there have been really struggle. there have been times we've had times when we've had parents come say, we're having come to us and say, we're having to between turn on the to choose between turn on the lights food the lights and having food in the fridge. we've seen a 100%
3:25 pm
fridge. and we've seen a 100% increase give food increase in having to give food out help with sort of out and help people with sort of energy and sort of token key card payments as well . so it's card payments as well. so it's been really, really, really difficult and not something that we're proud of. it's nice to be able to help, but really where we are today, we shouldn't be in a situation where children and families picking whether families are picking whether they a meal whether they can eat a meal or whether they can eat a meal or whether they lights on. so they can turn the lights on. so what we've started to do to kind of that a little bit is of combat that a little bit is to our first families to have our first class families where support families with a where we support families with a hamper meal. it's hamper and a hot meal. it's taken stigma going taken away the stigma of going to bank. so we of to the food bank. so we kind of do dressed hamper with do a nicely dressed hamper with essentials week do a nicely dressed hamper with esse people week do a nicely dressed hamper with esse people can week do a nicely dressed hamper with essepeople can nominate week do a nicely dressed hamper with essepeople can nominate you�*k do a nicely dressed hamper with essepeople can nominate you can and people can nominate you can nominate a family to receive that hamper if you know somebody in arrive in need. and it will just arrive at there's no at their door. there's no questions you know, we're questions asked, you know, we're not to for to not going to ask for them to fill in a or anything like fill in a form or anything like that. know that we that. but we just know that we have so we're seeing have to help. so we're seeing that massively and it's having a massive so massive impact. more so definitely into the definitely now coming into the summer but summer holidays as well. but with as know, with food inflation as we know, putting together, with food inflation as we know, putti|that together, with food inflation as we know, putti|that increases together, with food inflation as we know, putti|that increases the together, with food inflation as we know, putti|that increases the cost her, with food inflation as we know, putti|that increases the cost for, does that increases the cost for you as charity ? absolutely. so you as a charity? absolutely. so we've quite heavily
3:26 pm
we've had to lean quite heavily on partners and reached on partners and we've reached out to different corporations within birmingham been within birmingham. they've been absolutely in them absolutely fantastic in them themselves, for their themselves, asking for their staff members just to bring in something additional. when they go extra go shopping, just buy one extra thing, into the office, thing, bring it into the office, and together we get and then together we get assemblies and collections. that way . schools involved as way. had schools get involved as well. part of the citizenship well. so part of the citizenship and psa curriculum, they've done gift packs as well. so it's meant that we've all kind of pulled which really beautiful. >> you run, you run >> steve you run, you run a fasteners in out in sutton coldfield you've been telling us this that you this afternoon that actually you fill with inflation fill this problem with inflation is embedded. yeah. yeah >> i think i think the government's missing a trick all the bright young things in the bank of england seem to have forgotten that in the 70s when we had massive inflation, it was wages. this is a completely different type of problem . and different type of problem. and basically the more they put the interest rates up, the more mortgages go up, the more rents go up. that all feeds into inflation. so we just embeds the
3:27 pm
inflation. so we just embeds the inflation for a longer period. so when they put the when the bank puts the interest rates up next, it's going to then be in the inflation pot for a year. and i just think they're just causing themselves problems, which is causing us problems . which is causing us problems. >> and of course, one of the big things that's been in the news recently, of course, is the situation with nigel farage and his coutt's bank account. mark, you were in the banking sector for 25 years as a career , as for 25 years as a career, as a as a former banker. what's your reaction to the news that we've got around farage and why is cuz bank account was stopped at shocked to be honest , i can't shocked to be honest, i can't imagine why a bank would close somebody's account because of their views . their views. >> you know, i can imagine closing somebody's account, you know , because i used to be know, because i used to be involved in doing that. if they were involved in criminal activity or money laundering , activity or money laundering, etcetera, etcetera. the only problem is and the only thing i think about this is i saw this
3:28 pm

3:33 pm
here from the met office with the gb news forecast show was for many of us today hit and miss downpours with some sunny spells in between and it will be turning drier later as the showers fade away. low pressure still with us, but it is moving away. and so the more persistent rain that many places saw on tuesday, well , that's out of the tuesday, well, that's out of the way. but showers have replaced that rainfall . the heaviest that rainfall. the heaviest downpours will be in the east and they'll continue into the evening in places, but eventually after midnight, most of the showers confined to the north and northwest of scotland, parts of northern northern ireland as well. but elsewhere , ireland as well. but elsewhere, clear and temperatures in clear spells and temperatures in main urban areas tend to 13 celsius. but in sheltered rural spots in the single figures and 3 to 6 celsius possible for parts of scotland. first thing 1 or 2 fog patches for wales and the south west. otherwise a bright start for many quite quickly through the morning the shower clouds will build once again and those showers will be hit and miss into the afternoon. i think fewer compared with
3:34 pm
today , but actually still quite today, but actually still quite a number about and they'll once again be heaviest in the east, dner again be heaviest in the east, drier towards the west and into the start of friday. well, a similar start to the day bright on the cool side, but largely dry before those showers develop into the morning. and an outlook thatis into the morning. and an outlook that is remaining unsettled. bannau the rain crossing the country on saturday, clearing to showers on . sunday showers on. sunday >> the temperatures rising . a >> the temperatures rising. a boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . weather on. gb news. >> well, the issue of the trans guidance for schools is not going away at all. i will just ask in the meantime, how many children and let's not forget, parents in all of this have to suffer. everybody bangs on all the time, don't they? about what's best for the kids. all
3:35 pm
right. but the parents are human beings as well. in fact, the parents managed conceive parents managed to conceive those children. the parents managed children managed to keep those children alive years. it alive for however many years. it was until the school system got their hands their grubby little hands on them. parents are all them. and the parents are all too pushed to side. too often pushed to one side. but apparently the new guidance for schools on transition , for schools on the transition, too, well unlawful . the too, could well be unlawful. the women and equalities minister, kemi badenoch, take kemi badenoch, wants to take a tougher stance . so including and tougher stance. so including and just me know if you think just let me know if you think that this makes common sense, including banning pupils from changing their names and pronouns in schools and as well banning them potentially from being able to change their items of clothing, being able to use and access change rooms and toilets from the other gender, not telling parents whether or not telling parents whether or not they were actually doing any of this stuff. but new legislation might now need to be introduced before the guidance is updated. so need another is updated. so we need another change to the law and that's going be hoo ha, isn't going to be a big hoo ha, isn't it? joined now by debbie it? i'm joined now by debbie hayton, who is a transgender teacher. debbie, thank you very
3:36 pm
much. have back on much. great to have you back on the schools and i dare the show. so schools and i dare say parents as well have been crying for some kind of cast crying out for some kind of cast iron to have iron guidance. we appear to have , i would say, a bit of common sense now from kemi badenoch . sense now from kemi badenoch. and that supposedly could be unlawful. it just seems a little bit backwards . bit backwards. >> well, it's ridiculous, isn't it, patrick? >> we're in a situation where the government is unable to offer the guidance that schools need. and the problem , um, and need. and the problem, um, and it's not just kemi badenoch making this point. it comes down to hilary cass , who reviewed to hilary cass, who reviewed children's gender services at the tavistock clinic and she made a point of saying that the transition of children was not a neutral act. the long term prognosis was unknown. this was an experimental approach, and it's something that schools should be that schools should not be doing lightly. now, for the government to come out and say as long as the school, as long as there's the blessing of the parents and schools can do this and facilitate a transition
3:37 pm
, then we'll put the government really arguing against the cass review so i can understand why kemi badenoch and others have come made that point . but then come made that point. but then they're told the equality act, they're told the equality act, the equality act contains the protected characteristic of gender reassignment. there's no lower edge on that. so they'd probably be they'd probably be in breach of the law . so we're in breach of the law. so we're in breach of the law. so we're in a situation where the government can't be seen to be advising us to break the law ehhen advising us to break the law either. so the result is we don't get any guidance and we as schools have to carry on schools just have to carry on making up they go along, making it up as they go along, or possibly taking advice from stone wall mermaids and other groups who are eager to offer advice. >> this is it. it creates it's a void that is either filled by chaos or, i would argue or some inherently wrong. and potentially in some cases questionably evil situation . questionably evil situation. okay. so as it currently stands, we were on the cusp as the as the new school year approaches in a couple of months time or
3:38 pm
wherever, wherever it is of schools being able to look at an eight year old in the eye and saying, i'm not sure whether or not you have been born into the wrong body, i won't necessarily start using your new pronouns. do your parents know anything about this? i know you still have to go to the boys toilets and now we're not sure what happensin and now we're not sure what happens in any of those situations, are we? >> well , no, it's everything situations, are we? >> well, no, it's everything is open to interpretation, but just to just to be clear, there is a difference between a child changing their name and a child. perhaps a girl wearing trousers. you know, some schools still have uniform codes where girls have uniform codes where girls have to wear skirts and a girl. have uniform codes where girls htgirlto wear skirts and a girl. have uniform codes where girls htgirl inwear skirts and a girl. have uniform codes where girls htgirl in that skirts and a girl. have uniform codes where girls htgirl in that situationj a girl. have uniform codes where girls htgirl in that situation wearing a girl in that situation wearing trousers. what we shouldn't be doing and this is the problem , doing and this is the problem, is saying to girls, perhaps in a in a school with a strict uniform code is saying you have to identify as a boy in order to wear trousers. this is this is what this is the wrong approach. what we should be saying to children is the biological sex is real. we need to teach you this. you might not like it, but
3:39 pm
this. you might not like it, but this is the and so this is the truth. and so biological sex is real. and when we divide you by sex, we have to divide you by sex, treat each separate sex separately, we've got to do it. but if we don't have to do that, then then we shouldn't be discriminating unnecessarily. but the key , i think, is not to but the key, i think, is not to create this , this, this, this , create this, this, this, this, this this characteristic of the trans child, but to give freedoms to all children where appropriate that they are not necessarily bound by sexist stereotypes . stereotypes. >> it does seem slightly upside down that it is a—okay for schools to bring in talks and have posters up, etcetera, openly stating that you might be born into the wrong body and everything that goes with it. but the controversy arises around whether or not you are really allowed to get somebody into state biological fact and then uphold that biological fact . and frankly is clown world. >> well, it is. and there's also in part the a version of this
3:40 pm
guidance has been there's been some leaks from it. and it was also suggested that teachers who had objections this wouldn't have a child's preferred have to use a child's preferred pronouns , but the freedom of pronouns, but the freedom of speech. pronouns, but the freedom of speech . but at the same time, speech. but at the same time, school policies may , may, may, school policies may, may, may, may require that. so can the government be can the government be seen to be advising teachers to break the policies that are on schools ? those teachers then on schools? those teachers then face disciplinary action. teacher might end up out of work if they if they dismiss for gross misconduct . yes, they gross misconduct. yes, they could take it to an employment tribunal. but that's years down the line. sometimes they don't keep their job in the meantime. so it makes teachers vulnerable. what the problem is, is the government clearly has lost control of this situation when we should have been looking at this guidance as three, four, five years ago. it's been put off time and time again. and we're now seeing that the government is running to is running to catch up now. >> absolutely. look, debbie, thank very, very it's
3:41 pm
thank you very, very much. it's always absolute pleasure always an absolute pleasure to have show. and have you on the show. and for you being so forthright in your views, i think more. views, i think we need more. debbie debbie hatano's, the transgender just debbie debbie hatano's, the transgit'sier just debbie debbie hatano's, the transgit's absolutely just think it's absolutely staggering, really, isn't it, that. again, we're that. yes, yes. again, we're in a now. we're a situation now. we're approaching school year approaching a new school year when this when there's all of this fanfare, groundswell of fanfare, this groundswell of controversy surrounding the transgender issues is only growing even more. and now, by the looks of things, we're going to have at least another school year of pupils coming through that up possibly being that will end up possibly being deeply confused, long deeply confused, having long term issues as a result of it. teachers being sacked for not knowing whether or not they should be saying that a child needs to use this particular pronoun and reinforcing that, not whether or not they not knowing whether or not they should be able to call a parent and look, got any and say, look, have you got any idea is identifying as idea that jim is identifying as jill when jim comes to school, what happens when not if, when there are safeguarding issues, when it comes to children using the other changing rooms yet again, it is just the law being an here and common sense actually not being applied in a
3:42 pm
way that will negatively affect lives. and i come back to it again. what about the parents in all of this? where are the parents rights? parents need parents rights? the parents need rights , okay? they conceive the rights, okay? they conceive the children . they raise children. they raise the children. they raise the children. they raise the children. they love the children. they love the children. and yet all a children. and yet all of a sudden them to some sudden you send them off to some kind mainstream education and kind of mainstream education and you don't know what you're getting you? i getting back anymore, do you? i think a minute or think i've just got a minute or two into two very quickly to delve into these sometimes terrifying world of will be talking of my inbox. i will be talking shortly whether shortly about whether or not king step in and king charles should step in and bnng king charles should step in and bring the commonwealth games home have received some home and i have received some unexpected pushback on this, and that pushback to that pushback appears to be snowballed for snowballed and gb views for gbnews.com look, you know me , gbnews.com look, you know me, all right? i'm not over the granular detail of things like how much the commonwealth games cost, like the idea of cost, but i do like the idea of britain coming to the fore. we talk ourselves talk about ourselves being a world of world leader in all sorts of things. i am also concerned about king charles's popularity and camilla's popularity. i think very, think william and kate very, very popular. we all them at very popular. we all see them at wimbledon. love them less wimbledon. we all love them less so charles, i think this so with charles, i think this could be an opportunity for him to step in and bring the games
3:43 pm
home. don't bring the games home unless the king pays for it. yes. already on yes. and that's already been on that. agree, though, that. i fully agree, though, says you, that the says jacqui, thank you, that the games home. they games need to come home. they have been part of the commonwealth for far too long and basically they should be coming back . but yeah, no, coming back. but yeah, no, there's most of you think that it would be a terrible idea to for us to step in mainly because of the cost, the cost benefit analysis that the australians did showed they would did showed that they would basically be operating at a net loss. in loss. i just wonder whether in terms it would be terms of popularity it would be good for king charles to bring it and yes, as you well good for king charles to bring it i and yes, as you well good for king charles to bring it i will and yes, as you well good for king charles to bring it i will of d yes, as you well good for king charles to bring it i will of course as you well good for king charles to bring it i will of course be you well good for king charles to bring it i will of course be havingl know, i will of course be having a chat about whether not a big chat about whether or not it is time now to slap a migrant barge outside houses barge right outside the houses of our of parliament so that our politicians can deal with all of the frankly, they the issues that, frankly, they are okay for everybody else to deal with. watch how quickly things change. if we do that, i'll be telling you why i think we should do that in just a tick. but yes, the commonwealth games, it's been for games, it's been going for almost now it is almost 100 years, but now it is under should king under threat. should the king step it? so far, step in and save it? so far, it's fair to say you have
3:44 pm
3:47 pm
on gb news, the people's. channel well , very shortly i will have well, very shortly i will have the latest on the migrant crisis in the channel. >> i'm just going to be asking you straightforwardly whether or not the politicians who are forcing people to take forcing other people to take migrant and live near migrant barges and live near hotels should just have a migrant barge slapped right outside house of commons? no
3:48 pm
outside the house of commons? no security on of course. security on it, of course. really to and go as really free to come and go as they and yeah, if they please. and yeah, if there's ever any way that maybe some of the nhs staff or some of the local nhs staff or even of the private even some of the private doctors, we'll plonk them doctors, yeah, we'll plonk them on as just make on the barge as well. just make them mess that they them live in the mess that they are and don't forget are creating. and don't forget that at 5:20 i will be joined in the studio by the man himself, nigel farage, more on nigel farage, for more on that news closed his bank news that cootes closed his bank account gathering account that really is gathering steam you've steam at the minute. you've heard it mentioned at prime minister's you've minister's questions you've heard getting heard other politicians getting involved. the prime minister has got it's on the got involved now it's on the front pages however many front pages of however many newspapers so done, newspapers. was so well done, nigel, for the charge nigel, for leading the charge on that. remember, this that. and just remember, this could the could happen to you. the pushback has to happen now, but the commonwealth games has been for going nearly 100 years and it brings billion people it brings in 2.4 billion people together. but but is this under threat ? the australian state of threat? the australian state of victoria was due to host the games in 2026, but it's pulled out after the original budget of £1.3 billion, almost tripled . £1.3 billion, almost tripled. and so the 2026 games would be the first, with king charles as

quantum computing . that's the quantum computing. that's the latest news from gb news. more news as it happens. back now to . patrick >> it's time to put a migrant barge right outside the house of commons in fact, i'd put two there. maybe even three and one outside the mayor of london's head quarters. i'd put one at cardiff docks near the welsh senate. i'd four fs the dock in edinburgh to take several actually. that's the closest port to holyrood , the seat of port to holyrood, the seat of scottish power, because the snp bangs on about human rights and being hyper woke . but they've being hyper woke. but they've only inflicted ten migrant hotels onto their population so far. it's almost like they don't really want to help out, isn't it? the fact is having a migrant barge or two right near where our often and our politicians often live and work will make them open their eyes to reality of what an eyes to the reality of what an eyesore they are. they will also
4:08 pm
have confront the that have to confront the fact that it's tourism. oh, it's it's bad for tourism. oh, it's okay for a tiny village to be decimated , for towns miss out decimated, for towns to miss out on of millions of on hundreds of millions of pounds of investment for pounds worth of investment for small lose their small time locals to lose their business, but not for them . no, business, but not for them. no, no. and they will have to face up to the security issues as well. surely they will be fine for these channel migrant men to hang around their parliament buildings, loitering, smoking, leering at after all, leering at women. after all, they're okay for it to happen everywhere else, aren't they ? in everywhere else, aren't they? in fact, now think of it. there fact, now i think of it. there are rooms within are a lot of rooms within parliament portcullis house. parliament and portcullis house. why stop at the barge on the thames? why not house asylum seekers in mps actual offices? they'd have to sack a few staff to make way for that or look for a different place to work themselves. but that's all right though, isn't it? because they're for hotel staff to they're happy for hotel staff to be their bit for the be sacked. do their bit for the migrant crisis. there is a small body of water. the english channel body of water. the english channel, causing all sorts of problems . channel, causing all sorts of problems. but there is a vast ocean, a ginormous gulf between
4:09 pm
ordinary people and politicians right now on this issue . i right now on this issue. i suspect it would make it a lot more palatable for people , more palatable for people, ordinary people, suffering the consequences of migrant hotels and barges if they could visibly see that their politicians were suffering too. it is time to slap a couple of migrant barges right outside the house of commons and the house of lords, for that matter. the migrants are allowed to come and go as they please by the way they can wander there they please by the way they can wanybe there they please by the way they can wanybe no there they please by the way they can wanybe no curfew. there they please by the way they can wanybe no curfew. why there they please by the way they can wanybe no curfew. why notere they please by the way they can wanybe no curfew. why not put will be no curfew. why not put a bus on as well? let them out and about. watch how quickly things would change. take part in a twitter poll that we're going to be firing up very shortly. should we put migrant barge should we put a migrant barge outside . parliament outside. parliament gbviews@gbnews.com lower odds of reaction to that already . and i reaction to that already. and i will go to that very, very shortly. mark steyn joins me now. and we've had a depressing new landmark in the small boats crisis here at gb
4:10 pm
crisis. we can reveal here at gb news number migrants news that the number of migrants who channel who have crossed the channel this now passed 14,000 this year has now passed 14,000 viewers on gb news can see some of the migrants who got to dover today. official home office figures confirm 574 people crossed in 12 small boats yesterday. but we can confirm that more than 300 others arrived in six small boats. this morning. let's deal with this. mark our home security editor, before we talk about the practicalities of slapping a migrant barge right outside the house of commons, these numbers ain't good. >> yeah, it's a unfortunately , >> yeah, it's a unfortunately, an all too familiar, depressing picture every time the weather conditions improve in the channels, the small boats come. we've got some images from yesterday when those 12 small boats were intercepted . this is boats were intercepted. this is one of them. in total, 574 people who were brought onto border force vessels and into dover harbour . it continued dover harbour. it continued right overnight. our producer was out in the early hours of
4:11 pm
the morning. this is 2 am. in dover harbour and again, more asylum seekers being brought off these small boats, 150 on this occasion and then into today. patrick at least another four small boats, 200 odd. yeah. >> and these people have all got to be housed somewhere . and the to be housed somewhere. and the reason why i am now going big on the plan is because we've the barge plan is because we've had the stockholm had the bibby stockholm yesterday, which you and i did a lot of . there's also talk of at lot of. there's also talk of at least a couple of other cruise ships specifically for migrants that may well end up going in places like edinburgh , places like edinburgh, liverpool, teesside. these appear to have hit the buffers for now at least, but it got me thinking about whether or not we could actually get our politicians to put their money where their mouth is and have an asylum seeker barge right by where they work . how would that where they work. how would that work? it's an intriguing idea and when you mentioned it last hounit and when you mentioned it last
4:12 pm
hour, it brought to mind a mock up that the royal navy did for their mighty aircraft carrier hms queen elizabeth when they were just trying to show the giant size of this aircraft carrier. >> now , they that mock up shows >> now, they that mock up shows hms queen, queen elizabeth outside the houses of parliament right . the aircraft carrier right. the aircraft carrier itself is 285m long. the bibby stockholm barge is about 90m long. so you could quite comfortably not get 1 or 2, but us three for a hat trick of bibby stockholm three outside the length of the houses of parliament, you could quite easily do that and it would accommodate them right outside their windows . their windows. >> okay, so actually we could get three migrant barges quite comfortably on that little stretch of the thames there outside the houses of parliament. well, look, see, you can take part in our twitter
4:13 pm
poll at gb news and see whether or not you think you actually would back having a migrant barge outside the house of commons. mark, thank you very, very much. mark white there, our home security editor here, of course, away and did course, went away and just did some number some beavering and some number crunching that crunching and finding out that it practically it is indeed practically possible. get little bit possible. let's get a little bit more on this. so i spoke about a couple of minutes though, more on this. so i spoke about a couplethis�*ninutes though, more on this. so i spoke about a couplethis barge.; though, more on this. so i spoke about a couplethis barge.; speak|ough, about this barge. i speak to political commentator peter spencen political commentator peter spencer. very, spencer. peter thank you very, very to have you on very much. great to have you on the show. now, look, peter, okay, help but wonder okay, i can't help but wonder whether time for our whether it's time for our politicians face of the politicians to face some of the consequences they consequences that they are willing, willing willing, perfectly willing to inflict on the rest of the nafion inflict on the rest of the nation . things like the impact nation. things like the impact that it would have to tourism, the potential impact on the local security as well. just the fact that it might deemed fact that it might be deemed a little do you little bit unsightly. do you think that maybe there's any mileage in this? think that maybe there's any milwell,in this? think that maybe there's any milwell,inthink they should go >> well, i think they should go a stage further than taking barges up to outside the palace of westminster. >> i think they should dig a barge shaped canal between the westminster bridge and indeed
4:14 pm
marsham street, where you'll find is the home office and park them. there because who's bad is this? >> it is the home office. why is it so bad? >> why is there this problem? because there is this massive backlog of asylum seekers who us claims are not being process it. >> they're just gathering and gathering and gathering. and the fact is that when they when they do finally get round to processing them, very often they , they actually are allowed to stay anyway of a sudden stay anyway and all of a sudden they being economically they stop being economically active earn active and go out and earn a living contribute to the living and contribute to the economy . but the meantime living and contribute to the economy. but the meantime , economy. but in the meantime, there they are just stuck in limbo . and the frankly, the limbo. and the frankly, the reason for this is that the home office simply doesn't have the staff. and what staff they have is not properly trained to process these applications. and i know this. i've not something i've just read in left wing newspapers. it's something i've got from a contact who is on the inside . and can you imagine if
4:15 pm
inside. and can you imagine if you decide , right, i think i'm you decide, right, i think i'm going to rebuild the forth bridge. a contractor and bridge. i find a contractor and he said, yeah, we'll do that. take years because we take it 50 years because we can't get staff work up can't get the staff to work up there. what we're there. that is what we're looking at here. >> and utterly, totally absurd. >> and suella braverman should be shame . be holding her head in shame. >> one main reasons that >> one of the main reasons that i'm very keen this idea i'm very, very keen on this idea is to try to expose the hypocrisy of the people inside the house of commons and inside the house of commons and inside the house of lords, because all too often when you see people out on the streets with the refugees, welcome banners and then up them refugees, welcome banners and ther say, up them refugees, welcome banners and ther say, will up them refugees, welcome banners and ther say, will you up them refugees, welcome banners and thersay, will you be up them refugees, welcome banners and ther say, will you be taking:hem and say, will you be taking a refugee into own home? and refugee into your own home? and they no, haven't got they go, oh, no, i haven't got they go, oh, no, i haven't got the right. fine . so the space right. okay, fine. so again, it's a problem for everybody else, not everybody else, but not a problem that they are ever confronted with . and what confronted with. and what i really want to is see whether really want to do is see whether or not you could speed up the people that house of commons people in that house of commons getting things like the illegal migration through off migration bill through and off the like the ground, whether or not like you said, it would kick the home office gear they office into gear and then they would start employing enough staff to start processing these
4:16 pm
people. the lie people. there is also the lie thatis people. there is also the lie that is being told to members of the british like this that is being told to members of the 13115 sh like this that is being told to members of the 13115 temporary ike this that is being told to members of the 13115 temporary ,ze this that is being told to members of the 13115 temporary , orthis that is being told to members of the 13115 temporary , or that this hotel is temporary, or that this barge will only be here for this amount of time or this airfield will only used for this will only be used for this amount that absolute amount of time. that is absolute rubbish. things are going rubbish. these things are going to used a heck of a long to be used for a heck of a long time, probably years, definitely not i reckon that barge not months. i reckon that barge outside house of commons outside the house of commons would quickly . would move pretty quickly. >> i think it probably would. and you're absolutely right, of course. the backlog can course. i mean the backlog can only get bigger until the home office finally gets its act. its its act together and processes people. of course, we have the new illegal migration bill which has just passed through all its stages in the house of ping pong, house of lords. now house of commons will get the royal assent that assent fairly soon. at that point , in assent fairly soon. at that point, in theory assent fairly soon. at that point , in theory , assent fairly soon. at that point, in theory , these claims point, in theory, these claims can be processed in rwanda . in can be processed in rwanda. in practise, of course, the whole thing is mired in legal procedures and so how long it will take for the supreme court to sort itself out and give a
4:17 pm
yay to sort itself out and give a yay or nay on the rwanda, rwanda flights remains to be seen in in the meantime , decades ago, john the meantime, decades ago, john reid , the then labour home reid, the then labour home secretary said, look, the home office is not fit for purpose, where nothing has changed. >> no, absolutely not. thank you very, very much for not only running with my idea, but also coming equipped with the artwork to match behind you of the building that we're talking about and the river we're talking about, and furthering that idea by moving it on towards the office. that is towards the home office. that is the spencer the wonderful peter spencer there, commentator, there, political commentator, fan class act fan favourite as well. class act loads. are you getting in touch? great it great idea. patrick but it wouldn't work. mps would wouldn't work. the mps would just their country just go back to their country homes. second homes. that's it. the second homes. that's it. the second homes use, homes would come into use, wouldn't fine again. wouldn't it? it'd be fine again. they'd able to this is they'd be able to say, this is what would wouldn't it? what would happen, wouldn't it? they go, course we'll have a they go, of course we'll have a migrant here. yeah, migrant barge out here. yeah, put oh, i'm put migrant barge here. oh, i'm just work from home just going to work from home today. pmqs that today. yeah. pmqs can we do that virtually again? right. virtually again? exactly right. lynn, very much. lynn, thank you very much. vaiews@gbnews.com. there is a lot that we'll go to that lot on that and we'll go to that very but sticking very shortly. but sticking in the realm of political the realm of the political tomorrow a
4:18 pm
tomorrow promises to be a crucial for rishi sunak. in crucial day for rishi sunak. in fact, absolutely massive as he faces three by elections in constituencies that previously had tory mps. voters will go to the polls in uxbridge and south ruislip, where boris johnson of course, was the mp as well as in selby and in ainsty in north yorkshire and somerton and frome in somerset. there we go. easy for me to say. i'm joined now by gb news political reporter olivia utley for the lowdown on this by—election for rory that we're going to be seeing tomorrow . tomorrow. >> yes, patrick, it sounds as though rishi sunak is getting rather nervous. he's trying to sound chipper. he even had some 9395 sound chipper. he even had some gags at pmqs today. but on the ground, conservative activists are now beginning to get into expectation management mode. it thought that the conservatives could well lose all three by elections. now, there's sort of different threats in each of these three very different seats . in uxbridge. it's thought that the conservatives are pretty much resigned to lose the seat.
4:19 pm
bofis much resigned to lose the seat. boris johnson only had a majority of 7000. and with the with the polling, as we're seeing at the moment, with labour consistently about labour just consistently about 20 points ahead the polls, it 20 points ahead in the polls, it seems almost impossible that this could tory, only this could stay. tory, the only glimmer of hope for the conservatives down here in london is that uxbridge is a is a is a seat in that commuter belt of london. and they really don't like ulez there. so just possibly there might be a few disgruntle old voters who swing back to the conservatives because they like sadiq because they don't like sadiq khan. selby and somerton, khan. as for selby and somerton, they're both seats with big conservative majorities, both parts of the blue wall and yes , parts of the blue wall and yes, it it looks pretty likely that the conservatives could lose them, too. now, why is that ? them, too. now, why is that? again, labour is polling at just 20 points ahead and in somerton, the lib dems are really , really the lib dems are really, really closing in on the concern gives somerton was yes it's been a conservative seat for a long time now. but looking back into into sort of more ancient history the lib dems had had a stronghold and they have been
4:20 pm
throwing their resources throwing all of their resources at that somerton seat in recent weeks. so everything is looking pretty dodgy for rishi sunak . if pretty dodgy for rishi sunak. if he can hold on to just one of those seats in tomorrow's by—election, i think we can expect conservative activists to try paint it as a win. try and paint it as a win. there's even rumours that he could a whole cabinet could have a whole cabinet reshuffle on friday purely to basically distract attention away from what could be really quite catastrophic pick losses. we'll have to see how it shapes up. yeah well, i mean, the reshuffle is always good value. >> it's like transfer deadline day for political nerds like us, isn't it? we'll be sitting here in this very chair announcing whoever is walking in and out of that famous black but yes, that famous black door. but yes, thank much , olivia. thank you very much, olivia. look, going to be an look, this is going to be an absolutely one absolutely massive story one way or expectation or the other. expectation management with the management going on with the conservative party at the moment. if rishi moment. hey, if rishi sunak returns victories, that's returns three victories, that's absolutely massive for the guy. if wins just one of them, you if he wins just one of them, you could the current could argue in the current circumstances, quite circumstances, that's also quite big if he loses all big for him. if he loses all three of them the three of them and the conservative you conservative party as well. you know, brutal beast. know, they are a brutal beast.
4:21 pm
they about winning. know, they are a brutal beast. theythat's about winning. know, they are a brutal beast. theythat's fair about winning. know, they are a brutal beast. theythat's fair enough. nning. and that's fair enough. i suppose that's the name of the game. they really continue game. do they really continue hurtling the next hurtling towards the next general if bloke general election? if the bloke in charge is a persistent loser and the public don't like him, or do you try to pull the pin and something radical? and do something radical? i don't know. we'll have to see how it plays out. olivia utley there political there gb news is political reporter private bank there gb news is political reportehas private bank there gb news is political reportehas been private bank there gb news is political reportehas been accused bank there gb news is political reportehas been accused ofnk coutts has been accused of absolute unacceptable behaviour after it closed nigel farage account because of his political views . i think we are hurtling views. i think we are hurtling towards a communist chinese style social credit system. in fact it's already happening at the time. to fight back is now patrick christys on gb news britain's
4:25 pm
channel. will >> well, as inflation falls to its lowest level for 15 months, i will find out if there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. i think there might be. and in a few minutes time i will the latest nuttery will discuss the latest nuttery to come out of scotland. so the snp's consider snp's decision to consider raising the criminal age of responsibility from 12 to 18, i have been asking at what age do you think you become criminally responsible for your own actions? and i'm sorry, but people know the difference between right and wrong at the time that they are 12 years old. not 18. that would mean that murderers could walk free if they're under the age of 18. bonkers. anyway now to a shocking story about how the private bank could nigel private bank could close. nigel farages account because they don't with his political
4:26 pm
don't agree with his political views. yesterday, nigel revealed a dossier produced by coutts , a dossier produced by coutts, who claimed that the gb news presenter's not align presenter's views do not align with its purpose and values . with its purpose and values. well, a huge number of people from across the political spectrum have now backed nigel and i am joined by james sps, who is the co founder of thoughtful therapy at james. thank you very, very much . so thank you very, very much. so what's your views on nigel farage being debunked? because i think realistically, this is a situation that could happen to any of us. it could may well now happen to me . any of us. it could may well now happen to me. i any of us. it could may well now happen to me . i share a lot of happen to me. i share a lot of the same views as nigel farage. i'm on the same channel as nigel farage, for example, and people are wondering or are wondering whether or not this is hurtling towards a chinese social credit chinese style social credit system . i'm system. i'm >> well, i think it's a complete and utter disgrace, patrick. >> you know, i looked at the dossier. they they justified this by saying that nigel's views were incompatible with their position as an inclusive organisation . organisation. >> and i find that highly ironic that they choose to practise in
4:27 pm
collusion through the act of ipso collusion, i.e. excluding him from having an account. ipso collusion, i.e. excluding him from having an account . and him from having an account. and it's interesting to see the progression of this, particularly from the more left leaning media you know, at the beginning it was reported that this never happened. it was all made . then it was reported made up. then it was reported that it's because nigel didn't made up. then it was reported that ithe)ecause nigel didn't made up. then it was reported that ithe necessary gel didn't made up. then it was reported that ithe necessary fundsdn't made up. then it was reported that ithe necessary funds tot made up. then it was reported that ithe necessary funds to have have the necessary funds to have the account and now that nigel has produced evidence, demonstrates that was demonstrates that he was effectively cancelled this effectively cancelled from this bank his views were bank because of his views were told, well, deserved it told, well, he deserved it anyway . i told, well, he deserved it anyway. i mean, i read a disgraceful article in the guardian today, dripping with sarcasm, saying , poor nigel sarcasm, saying, poor nigel farage. well, you know what? not just poor nigel, but poor us, poor the united kingdom . if poor the united kingdom. if members of the public are having bank accounts cancelled for their beliefs and opinions, yeah, these beliefs and yeah, but these beliefs and opinions are things like and this is in black and white now , this is in black and white now, things like brexit wanting to cut immigration and pushing back on net zero. >> i'm sorry, but that >> well, i'm sorry, but that actually is if not most people, then it's a heck of a lot of people and we shouldn't be
4:28 pm
running the risk of debunking everybody who shares those views. were also some out views. there were also some out and out lies in there, again, in black and white. this russia hoax. you know, whilst hoax. it said, you know, whilst there's no evidence, i mean, they that there is they should know that there is bank, for sake . if bank, for goodness sake. if anyone to know about anyone was going to know about nigel transactions nigel farage's transactions financially , it was going to be financially, it was going to be the who he trusted look, the people who he trusted look, after his money. and were after his money. and they were saying, there's no saying, well, there's no evidence whatsoever of russian involvement or putin, but despite that, still despite that, they still mentioned russia. something like 144 times in their decision to end his account. so even logic and reality doesn't do anything for these people . for these people. >> well, herein lies the problem , patrick. you know, first we've got the utter irrelevance , ounce got the utter irrelevance, ounce of one's beliefs to their banking. but but worse than that, we've got the subjectivity of beliefs, opinions by the very nature are subjective . we all nature are subjective. we all have different ways of thinking about the world, you know, who are they? who is this reputational management committee to judge nigel or
4:29 pm
indeed any of their other customers for their views? i mean, you mentioned brexit. we know the majority of the population voted in of population voted in favour of brexit. quoted nigel brexit. they also quoted nigel remarks on what they said was the well nigel the lgbt community. well nigel has said, as many others have, that men cannot become women. that's an opinion that's shared by vast majority of people by the vast majority of people in this country. so it's terribly concerning when people are being cancelled not only for fringe beliefs, but actually mainstream well . mainstream beliefs as well. >> but it's not just banks and this is something that i am very, very big on because. yeah. all right. if you debunk, then you get debunked. a you get debunked. that's a concern because in this day and age, hurtle towards age, as we hurtle towards a cashless society, frankly cashless society, that frankly costs absolutely everything. costs you absolutely everything. and people don't have the and most people don't have the platform nigel and dare platform of nigel and dare i politely suggest as well that most might not the most people might not have the resources lot of resources of nigel. so a lot of people there, you're only people out there, you're only 1 or months paycheques or 1 or or 2 months paycheques or 1 or 2 months not being able to access your destitution your accounts from destitution really have to the house, really have to sell the house, you have to sell your car, you have do whatever. so there is have to do whatever. so there is that it. but there's
4:30 pm
that side of it. but there's also the brand values that we're that side of it. but there's also th nownnd values that we're that side of it. but there's also th now |nd supermarkets, a're that side of it. but there's also th now |nd supermarkets, the seeing now of supermarkets, the brand that we're brand values that we're seeing of stores , the brand of high street stores, the brand values we're seeing in values that we're seeing in schools, for example, as well. the brand values of our chattering media classes who are all too willing to go and parrot this absolute tosh. in some cases, i would argue, again, in flagrant disregard for gdpr rules like the bbc did like to an extent the ftc did as well . an extent the ftc did as well. and then social media companies are happy to have people on there looking to cancel you. so if you don't have this set of values, which is essentially a core metropolitan liberal elite set of values , then actually we set of values, then actually we are living in a world now and in are living in a world now and in a country now where there's a chance that you might lose everything. >> well well, you're completely right. you know , just a few right. you know, just a few weeks ago, i broke a story on wix, you know, one of the largest home retailers in the country. and the chief, you know, the chief operating country. and the chief, you know, �*essentiallyyerating country. and the chief, you know, “essentially said ng country. and the chief, you know, “essentially said that if officer essentially said that if customers didn't share his beliefs that men can become women and vice versa, that they're longer welcome in his they're no longer welcome in his stores. about this .
4:31 pm
stores. and think about this. you know, nigel farage has got a lot notoriety. he's also got lot of notoriety. he's also got a fan base . if he a significant fan base. if he can cancelled by a service can be cancelled by a service provider, what hope does joe pubuc provider, what hope does joe public have in relation to this? you know, then nigel had the time and the resources to investigate this, to put in some strict requests for his strict access requests for his personal . you hard personal data. you know, hard working average members of the pubuc working average members of the public necessarily public don't necessarily have the the to put the time or the money to put into it's a disgrace. into this. it's a disgrace. yeah, is. yeah, it is. >> look , james, thank very >> look, james, thank you very much coming and talking much for coming on and talking so about this so eloquently about this particular well. particular issue as well. we have push we've got to have to push back. we've got to push is push back because it is happening . it's happened happening. it's happened already to people . it will to loads of people. it will continue to happen if people don't this. james sps don't highlight this. james sps there, political there, who is a political commentator course. right. so commentator of course. right. so i will be speaking live to the man himself, nigel farage, at 5:20 pm. on this very show. make sure that you don't miss nigel's show as well. of course, it's 7:00 this evening right here on gb news. plus, i've got a big 5:00 hour because i'm also going to jacob going to be talking to jacob rees—mogg workshy. brits rees—mogg about workshy. brits work brits. yeah, work from home brits. so yeah,
4:32 pm
make you stay tuned for all make sure you stay tuned for all of that. but before for all of that, a look at the that, i will have a look at the snp's look snp's decision to look at whether the of criminal whether the age of criminal responsibility should be increased from 12 to 18. i've got to be honest with you. i think you should go down, teach kids a lesson. there is a difference between right and wrong, you wouldn't difference between right and wrongit, you wouldn't difference between right and wrongit, of you wouldn't difference between right and wrongit, of course, u wouldn't difference between right and wrongit, of course, if wouldn't difference between right and wrongit, of course, if youldn't know it, of course, if you looked at that chap on your screen now those are your screen there. now those are your headunes screen there. now those are your headlines paul . patrick. headlines with paul. patrick. >> thank you. the top stories this hour. the prime minister says no one should have their bank account closed for exercising their right to free speech. the matter was raised in prime minister's questions today by david davis, who described the closure of gb news presenter nigel farage's bank account by exclusive bank company cuts as vindictive rishi sunak has also formally apologised for the historical treatment of lgbt veterans in the armed forces in the past and independent review found evidence of a culture of homophobia, bullying , blackmail homophobia, bullying, blackmail and sexual assaults . and the
4:33 pm

4:34 pm
tuesday, well, that's out of the way. but showers have replaced that rainfall. the heaviest downpours will be in the east and they'll continue into the evening in places. but eventually after midnight , most eventually after midnight, most of the showers confined to the north and northwest of scotland, parts of northern, northern ireland as well. elsewhere, ireland as well. but elsewhere, clear temperatures in clear spells and temperatures in main urban areas, 10 to 13 celsius. but in sheltered rural spots in the single figures and 3 to 6 celsius possible for parts of scotland. first thing, 1 or 2 fog patches for wales and the south west. otherwise a bright start for many quite quickly through the morning the shower clouds will build once again those showers will be again and those showers will be hit and miss into the afternoon . i think compared with . i think fewer compared with today, but actually still quite a number about and they'll once again be heaviest in the east, dner again be heaviest in the east, drier towards the west and into the start of friday. well a similar start to the day bright and on the cool side. but largely dry before those showers develop into the morning. and an
4:35 pm
outlook that is remaining unsettled. bands of rain crossing the country on saturday, clearing to showers on sunday. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . on. gb news. >> well, this'll get you going. so the snp are looking at raising the age of criminal responsibility from 12 to 18, even including crimes such as rape and murder. even including crimes such as rape and murder . well, this move rape and murder. well, this move would make the scottish justice system the most leaning in the world. there is, of course, an irony there, isn't there? given everything that's going on north of border. but we won't of the border. but we won't mention for juveniles, mention that for juveniles, is this justice. i am this soft touch justice. i am joined now by terry norton, who is the deputy police and crime commissioner for hampshire. thank much . so do thank you very, very much. so do you we should be raising you think we should be raising the age of criminal responsibility ? see, these poor, responsibility? see, these poor, young 12 year olds have no idea
4:36 pm
that is wrong? that murder is wrong? >> i actually think we >> no, i actually think we should that age. should not be raising that age. i mean, what that will do i mean , across the country the , across the country at the moment, got young moment, what we've got is young people 13. people as young as 13. >> know, out at 3:00 in the >> you know, out at 3:00 in the morning robbing people, carrying knives, guns . knives, carrying guns. >> all will do is send >> and all that will do is send a very, very clear message from the snp criminal gangs the snp to the criminal gangs that can exploit even that you can exploit even further because putting an further because we're putting an additional the way of additional barrier in the way of the exploitation of young people . shows that the snp . i think it shows that the snp are out of touch, so are completely out of touch, so they actually use kids for they will actually use kids for more if they do that. more crime if they do that. i think so. i think it's an additional barrier, isn't it? i think these young people already are being exploited. i think if you take away the fear of responsible party and it's a big topic, particularly among young people in schools , then i think people in schools, then i think it makes it easier for young people to be exploited. >> i believe i'm right in saying that very keen to that the snp are very keen to push voting for 16 year olds as well. appears to be well. so there appears to be a discrepancy between idea discrepancy between the idea that are mentally sound that you are mentally sound enough to a vote, national
4:37 pm
enough to cast a vote, national election , but you don't election, but you don't know that like rape and murder that things like rape and murder are problem and i find that are a problem and i find that absolutely staggering. i mean , absolutely staggering. i mean, does to be any logic does there seem to be any logic for this for, you know, in your in role there as deputy in your role there as deputy police commissioner? in your role there as deputy poli must commissioner? in your role there as deputy poli must see commissioner? in your role there as deputy poli must see some mmissioner? in your role there as deputy poli must see some mmirare 1er? you must see some kids are hardened criminals, they? hardened criminals, aren't they? they are. >> and what we need to do is look after those children who are at fear becoming hardened are at fear of becoming hardened criminals. and there's a big piece work, i think, to be piece of work, i think, to be done about services and making sure that police in particular are to do the job only are able to do the job that only the police do. so we don't the police can do. so we don't want to flood the system, particularly when it comes to things which are things like asb, which are trigger more serious trigger points into more serious criminal we criminal behaviour and we need to flood system and look to not flood the system and look at like at things potentially like parents the role that parents and the role that a parents and the role that a parent absolutely to play . parent absolutely has to play. of every young of course, not every young person positive model person has a positive role model in life or an appropriate in their life or an appropriate adult, but the vast majority do. and i think need and that's where i think we need to say to parents, look, we can't grip those at most risk of criminality for of criminality because for many of you, know where young you, you don't know where young people are, what they're doing, nor you take responsibility. nor do you take responsibility.
4:38 pm
>> hey, >> yeah. and look, hey, i haven't kids. i completely haven't got kids. i completely understand it must be understand that. it must be incredibly difficult, especially if you've got a few of them. and i'm not trying cast i'm not trying to cast aspersions on every single aspersions on to every single parent out there, but when i see stories about so so 14 years stories about so and so 14 years old, stabbed to death on the street at the age of that of that age, i think, you know, 2:00 in the morning, think 2:00 in the morning, i think what parents saying what are the parents saying here? know, where is this here? you know, where is this kid? are they afraid of this particular kid? but i wonder whether this is a problem whether or not this is a problem with how full prisons are. with how full our prisons are. and the snp trying to say, well, look, instead of us doing anything about that, what we'll do is try to reduce the number of people who end of juvenile people who might end up system, up in the prison system, potentially . potentially. >> think what the reality >> but i think what the reality is , prevention better than is, is prevention is better than cure, right so what we really cure, right? so what we really need to is invest in in young need to do is invest in in young people, the people, in schools and the services prevent young services that prevent young people from into that people from getting into that situation in the first place. a draconian kind of cut out and saying we're going just bump saying we're going to just bump the responsibility up the age up of responsibility up to not going do to 18 is not going to do anything. we appear to anything. i think we appear to have the moment
4:39 pm
have a situation at the moment where are not where young people are not respecting the way respecting the police in the way that to. that they used to. >> and i think that is a deep shame. i don't think they respect in general, by respect authority in general, by the way they the way, in the way that they used end up seeing used to. and you end up seeing really videos online used to. and you end up seeing retyoung videos online used to. and you end up seeing retyoung children videos online used to. and you end up seeing retyoung children indeos online used to. and you end up seeing retyoung children indeos orlike of young children in places like mcdonald's time in mcdonald's at whatever time in the morning when a police officer they officer comes in and they basically him and, basically just beat him up. and, you is massive, you know, that is a massive, massive this just massive problem. will this just encourage think, to encourage them, do you think, to respect less? respect authority even less? it would this would be would mean this would be a massive was if i was 16 massive win if i was if i was 16 years old and out and out years old and an out and out wrong'un, i would be looking at this now, this is great this now, going this is great news for me. >> i yeah, you might >> well, i think yeah, you might be right, but be right, actually. but the solution is probably solution to that is probably making more making sure that there are more police streets and police on the streets and increased visibility. i know the government are not getting too political. have political. the government have have into 20,000 have invested into that 20,000 new officers. we're in a new police officers. we're in a situation country the situation in the country at the moment where we have the largest number officers on number of police officers on record. there's work record. so there's some work to be around but it also record. so there's some work to be back und but it also record. so there's some work to be back to! but it also record. so there's some work to be back to making ut it also record. so there's some work to be back to making allowing comes back to making allowing the police do the job that the police to do the job that only police can do, as only the police can do, as i mentioned earlier, and freeing them some of the stuff them up from some of the stuff that probably within that probably isn't within their responsibility.
4:40 pm
that probably isn't within their resjinstance,y. that probably isn't within their resjinstance, falling under the, for instance, falling under the, you know, the budget of the nhs, of and of course some of of course. and of course some of the anti—social behaviour stuff where step in more where lars could step in more youth , for instance, youth clubs, for instance, more investment prevention investment in youth prevention from local authority, not just from a local authority, not just calling on the police. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and come >> yeah. » and >> and i'll just come back to one final one on this. i mean, in your then, people who in your view then, people who are, 15 or years are, let's say, 15 or 16 years old defining hinckley know the difference between right and wrong. it's at wrong. you don't think it's at what point ? i don't know. every what point? i don't know. every case is same right? if case is the same right? but if there's mitigating there's no mitigating circumstances in some of circumstances in some kind of mental issues whatever mental health issues or whatever , for your average 16 year old on street should know the on the street should know the difference between that's criminal and that's not. well you would hope so. >> and i think school is a really, really good place to install those values. i said, install those values. as i said, not young has not every young person has a positive model their positive role model in their lives , actually i'm looking lives, but actually i'm looking at seeing the age not at reduced seeing the age not increasing that transitional age from primary into secondary year seven is a really good age where schools i think, are saying to young people, take responsibility for actions, responsibility for your actions,
4:41 pm
don't shift to blame. >> well, could teach it >> well, and you could teach it in couldn't in school, couldn't you? you could right when get to could say right when you get to secondary school. so you're like ten, old, right? ten, 11 years old, right? this is on it. you is you have a lesson on it. you have ulez on it. you're now criminally responsible and there have ulez on it. you're now crinbeilly responsible and there have ulez on it. you're now crinbe no responsible and there have ulez on it. you're now crinbe no grey)nsible and there have ulez on it. you're now crinbe no grey)nsibthere. there have ulez on it. you're now crinbe no grey)nsibthere. thank can be no grey area there. thank you much. stuff. you very much. great stuff. thank much. into thank you very much. coming into the terry the studio as well as terry norton, deputy police norton, who's the deputy police and crime commissioner for hampshire. lot to go out hampshire. so a lot to go out there, get views in there, get your views coming in thick fast. gb views at gb thick and fast. gb views at gb news. zahawi dot com. that news. .uk. zahawi dot com. that was old address. keep news. .uk. zahawi dot com. that wazwith old address. keep news. .uk. zahawi dot com. that wazwith old times. address. keep news. .uk. zahawi dot com. that wazwith old times. patrick. keep news. .uk. zahawi dot com. that wazwith old times. patrick. now, up with the times. patrick. now, there some good for there were some good news for rishi as inflation rishi sunak today as inflation fell to his lowest level since march we're going to be march 2022. we're going to be talking money, money, money with our economics and business editor halligan in just editor liam halligan in just a tick and comparing ourselves as well to our european friends. tick and comparing ourselves as well to our european friends . so well to our european friends. so all of is coming your way all of that is coming your way in patrick christys in just a sec. patrick christys on news, britain's news .

>> join me monday to thursday at 8 pm. on . gb news. 8 pm. on. gb news. >> well, at 5:00 i'll have an update on the migrant crisis in the channel. the number of small boat arrivals has passed 14,000. and don't forget, of course , the and don't forget, of course, the man himself who's been trending for absolutely ages now at 520. i'll be joined live in the studio by nigel farage for his latest on the dispute with coots , which is not going away any time soon. are we yet to get an apology? nigel i suspect from coots and indeed from the bbc. well, out shortly, well, we'll find out shortly, won't but the rate of won't we? but the rate of inflation dropped slightly this
4:46 pm
morning. it's a step in the right direction, but prices are still 7.9% higher than they were this time a year ago. let's hear now from our business and economics editor liam halligan with 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 inflation is falling. but, says chancellorjeremy hunt, we're 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 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 its psychologically below that 8% level. but it is still four times the bank of england's target. and by international standards , uk inflation is high.
4:47 pm
standards, uk inflation is high. our 7.9% number for june compares to an average of 5.5% across the eurozone in 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? an 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 pnces 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 price 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
4:48 pm
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. 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 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 . in general, though, will happen. in general, though, we remain an inflation nation here in the uk, mortgage rates are set to rise further , i'm are set to rise 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 ,
4:49 pm
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 higher interest savers. this higher interest rate environment is good news, but only if those higher rates are passed on by the banks, which doesn't always happen very quickly . so here we are which doesn't always happen very quickly. so here we are in which doesn't always happen very quickly . so here we are in the quickly. so here we are in the middle of this cost of living. squeeze inflation nation uk . we squeeze inflation nation uk. we aren't complacent, says jeremy hunt. high prices are still a huge worry. they certainly are not least for the tory party. so inflation is dropping slightly . inflation is dropping slightly. >> but is it enough? and will the government stay on target to halve it by the end of the year? well, shadow chancellor rachel reeves certainly doesn't think so, she said. inflation has been persistently high and remains higher than our international peers. this is becoming a hallmark of tory economic failure . well, let's get a bit failure. well, let's get a bit more from liam halligan zahawi, who's it over who's just hotfooted it over from video wall to sit right from the video wall to sit right next to as if by magic, next to me here, as if by magic, as if by now, liam. yes.
4:50 pm
as if by magic. now, liam. yes. okay. well, i suppose okay. so. well, i suppose a little bit good it's little bit of good news. it's better inflation going up better than inflation going up or staying where it was nuclear war. >> i mean, last. yeah. in april it was 8.7. and then in may it was 8.7. and oh my god , it's not was 8.7. and oh my god, it's not coming down at all. and now it's 7.9. i must say , i thought it 7.9. i must say, i thought it would be 8 or 8.1. and i know very, very senior ministers in the treasury saw the same thing when i saw some of them last night this number night ahead of this number coming out. look, rachel coming out. but look, rachel reevesis coming out. but look, rachel reeves is right in the sense and i highlighted it there my i highlighted it there in my little video spiel that we little video wall spiel that we still have very high still do have very high inflation compared to a lot of the of the world, the rest of the world, particularly the americans. it's really catching that they're really eye catching that they're down though. that's down at 3, though. that's largely have largely because they have much, much, cheaper than much, much cheaper energy than us, least due to their us, not least due to their fracking revolution that is the exploitation of their own oil and reserves, which made and gas reserves, which has made them exporter them a major energy exporter now. and it means cheap energy for a lot of their firms and households. >> yeah, indeed. it's almost like we're sitting on the answer, it? in some cases answer, isn't it? in some cases . there it is. there it is right
4:51 pm
there. so look, what what there. okay, so look, what what next? sunak next? i mean, will rishi sunak stand of hitting this stand any chance of hitting this target halve inflation? stand any chance of hitting this targlyt halve inflation? stand any chance of hitting this targl think alve inflation? stand any chance of hitting this targl think i've inflation? stand any chance of hitting this targl think i've maintained and >> i think i've maintained and i still think even more so today, inflation will be below 5% by the end of the year. that will still feel pretty high. that's still feel pretty high. that's still more than double the bank of england's 2% target. it's still elevated still historically elevated inflation, that's nothing to inflation, but that's nothing to do with him. this is all to do with the economic cycle and the fact we've had interest fact that we've had interest rate from the bank of rate rises from the bank of england. i've actually been writing few months. writing for quite a few months. patrick gb news patrick and saying on gb news with you and others that i don't think the bank of england should be raising interest rates any more. interest more. we've had 12, 13 interest rate but i have to rate rises now, but i have to say have to it to gb say i have to break it to gb news viewers and listeners. i do think inflation has think even though inflation has come more than we come down a bit more than we thought the of england's thought at the bank of england's monetary policy committee, i just they've got just don't think they've got the imagination the courage to imagination or the courage to not to raise rates. not to raise interest rates. they're such political they're under such political pressure of those high pressure because of those high inflation numbers compared to other they other countries, because they were so cautious at the
4:52 pm
beginning to raise interest rates when people me were rates when people like me were saying, to get on with saying, you need to get on with this, and they were saying, oh, it's transitory or boy, inflation fine, inflation will be fine, inflation will be fine, inflation but inflation will be fine. but look, markets look, the financial markets i mentioned again in that look, the financial markets i menticwell, again in that look, the financial markets i menticwell, let ain in that look, the financial markets i menticwell, let me in that look, the financial markets i menticwell, let me justiat look, the financial markets i menticwell, let me just let me video. well, let me just let me just bit, just expand a little bit, because of people with because a lot of people with mortgages have to come out of a fixed mortgage. a lot of fixed rate mortgage. a lot of people gp newsroom people in the gp newsroom actually, have to actually, and then they have to remortgage ahead. remortgage in the months ahead. they what's they are wondering what's happening this happening here since this inflation came out inflation number came out this morning few morning and over the last few weeks , actually what we call the weeks, actually what we call the gilt yield has started to fall. that's nothing to do with eating too much cake and feeling bad about it. this is the market for government debt , government debt government debt, government debt in the uk, they're called gilts because the day they because back in the day they used have literally gold used to have literally gold around edge around the edge of the certificate . when you the certificate. when you lent the government money, gave you certificate. when you lent the gove|of1ent money, gave you certificate. when you lent the govelof paperloney, gave you certificate. when you lent the gove|of paper with , gave you certificate. when you lent the gove|of paper with a gave you certificate. when you lent the gove|of paper with a bit gave you certificate. when you lent the gove|of paper with a bit of ave you a bit of paper with a bit of gold edge, saying gold around the edge, saying we're gold. it's we're as good as gold. it's where it comes from. it's gilt edge. you're going to get your money back, right? so these are gilts. gilt yield. gilts. the two year gilt yield. what's amount of money what's that? the amount of money the spends to borrow the government spends to borrow money years. what money for two years. what investors demand them to
4:53 pm

5:03 pm
what is crucial about an investment like this is it's not just going to be about that. it's going to as i said, it's going to be, as i said, about the quality of the workforce have here, the workforce that we have here, the quality of our infrastructure, the and rail connections, quality of our infrastructure, the approach rail connections, quality of our infrastructure, the approach tol connections, quality of our infrastructure, the approach to regulation,1s, quality of our infrastructure, the approach to regulation, the competitiveness our tax competitiveness of our tax regime, we changed regime, which we have changed to make attractive for make it more attractive for businesses to invest . businesses to invest. >> inflation has fallen today, but the chancellor says the government isn't complacent about the current cost of living and says he understands people are worried about rising costs. jerry hunt was responding to the latest inflation figures, which have fallen faster than expected in the year to june. inflation now stands at 7.9. last month it was 8.7. the office for national statistics says the fall may ease pressure on the bank of england , which had been expected england, which had been expected to raise interest rates next month . scotland's outgoing chief month. scotland's outgoing chief constable says the investigation into the snp's finances has moved beyond initial allegations of fraud. sir ian livingstone

5:05 pm
had been harrowing to listen to the enforcement of the ban became something of a witch hunt. >> the testimonies detailed investigations, invasive searches and examinations degrading tests, brutal bullying and in some cases, sexual abuse i >> -- >> one doctor who joined in 1984 describes how he had to perform a test for which there was no medical clinical basis. some who thought they could confide in their chaplains were stunned to find their details were passed to their superiors . to their superiors. >> a man has been jailed for 12 years after admitting causing the death by dangerous driving of a pregnant mother of two. frankie josh howie, who was 38, died in may after her car was hit by adil iqbal, who was travelling at 123 miles an hour on the m66 in bury in greater manchester. frankie's nine year old son and four year old nephew were seriously injured in the incident . now to the united incident. now to the united states, where the former president donald trump, has lost
5:06 pm
his bid for a new trial after the verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming a celebrated writer. e jean carroll won the lawsuit and was awarded more than £38 million in damages. trump had argued, awarding her more than £1.5 million in compensate me damages for sexual assault was excessive because the jury found he had not raped her and the defamation was based on pure speculation . an here the head of speculation. an here the head of m16 has called on russians to mi6 has called on russians to join the intelligence service as secret agents to help end the war in ukraine. richard moore says there appears to be little prospect of moscow regaining momentum in ukraine, and he remains optimistic about kyivs counter—offensive . the mi6 chief counter—offensive. the mi6 chief also warned that china and russia are in a race to master technologies such as ai and quantum computing . those are quantum computing. those are your top stories. quantum computing. those are your top stories . more news as your top stories. more news as it happens. back now to .
5:07 pm
it happens. back now to. patrick >> a reminder that i will be speaking live to nigel farage at 5:20 about the coots banking scandal . there will be an update scandal. there will be an update on the coots files, but we start with news of a new landmark in the small boats crisis. we start with a couple of these stories. actually, reveal the actually, gb news can reveal the number who've number of migrants who've crossed channel crossed the english channel this year 14,000. it's year has now passed 14,000. it's the we knew was the milestone we knew was coming, but nobody really wanted viewers on gb news can see some of migrants have of those migrants who have arrived at dover today, quite possibly coming to a hotel or a barge near you. official home office confirm that 574 office figures confirm that 574 people crossed in 12 small boats yesterday. but as ever, we've done a bit of digging and we can confirm that more than 300 others arrived in six small boats. this morning alone. it also comes straight off the back of a new report which suggests that terrorists are and will
5:08 pm
continue to use the english channel as a way of getting into britain and attacking us right here on our own streets. and i'm joined now by gb news home security editor mark white. mark, let's start with that. how much of a terror risk is what's going on in the english channel? >> there is no doubt it is potentially significant terrorist . it's the kind of terrorist risk. it's the kind of issue that really keeps the m15 and counter—terrorism police officers who have to try to keep an eye on those that might cause us harm . it causes them us harm. it causes them sleepless nights. there's no doubt about this, because it was only a few years ago that islamic state , the terror group islamic state, the terror group in syria and iraq, said to its followers, who were heading back with the disintegration of that group because of the coalition bombing over there, when you're heading back home, commit atrocities in your home country . and there has been also
5:09 pm
instructions that have gone out from isis and al—qaeda for those to try to use as those routes in via small boat and other routes into to europe, to the uk, to commit terrorist attacks as well . so it is an issue and it's a big issue with 900 people across the english channel just in the last 24 hours alone because of that break in the weather. you're seeing in some of the 574 that came across yesterday. another 300, 350 that have come across today. what happens out there in the channel, patrick, is that they're scored by the people smugglers to throw away their mobile phones to throw away their identification , away their identification, identifying documents . so they identifying documents. so they arrive in the uk and it's very difficult for the police or security services border force to get a proper account of who these individuals are. unless they've been through the system somewhere and they've had dna
5:10 pm
and fingerprints taken in, then it can be very difficult to know whether this individual might have been involved in in terrorist activities with groups like isis. and one of the other things, i mean, it is not rocket science, is it, that if you have an open door policy in all but name to supposedly wall torn parts of the world, certainly parts of the world, certainly parts of the world, certainly parts of the world with mass deprivation or whatever, and then you allow those people into your country. >> there every chance that at >> there is every chance that at some point you going to take some point you are going to take in and out and out wrong and aren't when it aren't you? but mark, when it comes to the current situation of people being on boats of people being housed on boats , potentially speed , looking to potentially speed up asylum process, trying to up the asylum process, trying to get more people return to a country of their origin , country of their origin, unfortunately, we already have people who have absconded. we already have people who are out and about in those communities and about in those communities and very, very wound up and maybe be very, very wound up by the way that we have treated them. i mean, these people are primed and ready go, aren't primed and ready to go, aren't they, commit acts of terror primed and ready to go, aren't th
5:11 pm
because history has shown us that number of significant that a number of significant events, such as the attempted liverpool maternity hospital suicide bombing, was carried out by a failed asylum seeker. >> the attack on a group of people enjoying a break from lockdown in a park in reading was carried out by a failed asylum seeker. the attack, the failed suicide bombing of a train at parsons green . you train at parsons green. you remember back in 2017, carried out by a failed asylum seeker who had also posed as a child at one point as well. >> i believe, as well. so, you know, that was almost like the full kind of bingo card that we could from sometimes could get from people sometimes deciding want try deciding that they want to try to our asylum system. mark, to gain our asylum system. mark, the about barges and the news today about barges and indeed actually cruise ships. now, we were told that there was going to be a couple of migrant cruise ships, which just lend itself to the turn of phrase p&o migrants. but apparently i can't use because they weren't
5:12 pm
use that because they weren't originally which originally p&o ferries, which is a but were supposed a shame. but they were supposed to potentially docking at to be potentially docking at areas edinburgh , liverpool, areas like edinburgh, liverpool, teesside . now that isn't teesside. now that isn't happening and that appears to be, am i right in saying because the people who own those docks have basically said no, where is the people in portland in dorset with a bibby stockholm is they didn't say no. >> they said yes . much to the >> they said yes. much to the anger of the local community on the isle of portland that that particular barge , the bibby particular barge, the bibby stockholm, is now anchored there and it could be there not just for the 18 months as initially envisaged envisaged. it could be there for years . the cruise there for years. the cruise ships that you're talking about , one of them, the ms victoria and a sister ship, the ms victoria , was in in the port in victoria, was in in the port in edinburgh for some time, housing ukip syrian refugees. however when it came to changing its use to house asylum seekers, the
5:13 pm
port said no thank you. so that cruise ship left about 11 days almost like women and children are preferable, isn't it? >> i suppose. >> i suppose. >> yes. and liverpool, they've said to see him up in birkenhead and teesside. so there are and up in teesside. so there are still these cruise ships are still these cruise ships are still all under lease to the home office, but they're looking for a home for them so that they can put the asylum seekers on. >> oh, nice isn't it. >> oh, that's nice isn't it. yeah. you could just see almost like used to do at like they used to do at battersea so we need to battersea dogs. so we need to find a home for migrant find a home for this migrant ship. now, quickly, i was ship. now, just quickly, i was floating. did floating. you see what i did there? about whether or there? an idea about whether or not we should slap a joint aukus migrant barge outside the houses not we should slap a joint aukus miparliament outside the houses not we should slap a joint aukus miparliament so |tside the houses not we should slap a joint aukus miparliament so thate the houses not we should slap a joint aukus miparliament so that ours houses of parliament so that our politicians can, frankly in politicians can, frankly live in the they are helping the mess that they are helping to and went to create. right. and you went away some digging on away and you did some digging on this. this is why the this. this is why he earns the big bucks. guy. go on. big bucks. this guy. go on. i can confirm that it is absolutely doable. >> i was reminded of an image >> it i was reminded of an image that was mocked up by the royal navy to show the vast size of the new aircraft carrier hms queen elizabeth. she's a monster
5:14 pm
. 284m in length. the bibby stockholm is just over 90m in length. do the calculation, do the numbers. you can't just fit one bibby stockholm outside the palaces, the palace of westminster or two, but three. that's the length of hms queen elizabeth sitting quite snugly there outside the houses of parliament. lovely. just room enough for three barges. >> they're just about. so it is physically possible. so there is now no excuse for our politicians to not be putting their money where their mouth is. thank you very, is. mark white, thank you very, very campaign. it's very much. good campaign. it's good. very much. good campaign. it's good . i'll tell you what, good. i'll tell you what, seriously, might seriously, i think i might actually try turn this into actually try to turn this into an campaign. could an official campaign. we could crowdfund for but there crowdfund for it, but there we go. stop oil. go. now quickly, just stop oil. we're in force in we're out in force in westminster fact , i westminster today. in fact, i had misfortune of bumping had the misfortune of bumping into but i did into a couple of them, but i did just into them. i don't just bump into them. i don't want to revisit that twitter spat. were dozens of spat. there were dozens of arrests tried to stop arrests as they tried to stop our representatives our elected representatives attend ministers question
5:15 pm
attend prime ministers question time now. i i've warned before if they carry on, then things will get very ugly . i have will get very ugly. i have warned this because obviously it will. here is a member of the pubuc will. here is a member of the public snapping and attacking a just stop oil activist on a go slow march in london. we, i am told, cannot show the attack because it's too nasty. but this is the behaviour that they're tactics will unfortunate inevitably provoke . so we've inevitably provoke. so we've blacked out the attack there. we kind of did a over it which anyway, i'm sure you can tell you're all smart enough to realise that there wasn't a chap on the floor before and there is now. a bit of context to that now. so a bit of context to that clip. again, this is just according to reports and someone who's which who's seen the full clip, which is on is easily available online on this individual , believed to is easily available online on thi drivingiual , believed to is easily available online on thi driving with, believed to is easily available online on thi driving with his believed to is easily available online on thi driving with his pregnantj to be driving with his pregnant partner. then they say due to the slow walk and the chaos that that caused it caused a relatively minor car crash, but a car crash nonetheless . and a car crash nonetheless. and that guy says that. and that is
5:16 pm
the kind of thing that will happenif the kind of thing that will happen if somebody has a pregnant partner next to them, somebody having a heart attack, somebody having a heart attack, somebody having a heart attack, somebody having some kind of other medical episode, dare i say it also, maybe somebody who is at a cash in hand job or or, i don't know, on a final warning for lateness and is going to be held up. and this is the kind of action that just stop oils behaviour will inevitably provoke and that is that now the private bank that. coutts sorry, the private bank coutts is coming in for ferocior criticism from all sides after they closed nigel farage bank account. i am going to be joined in the studio by the man himself, mr nigel farage, in just a tick. so put the kettle come back and the kettle on, come back and strap yourselves patrick strap yourselves in patrick christys on gb britain's
5:20 pm
7:00 this evening. gb news the people's . people's. channel >> well, at 5:30, i will be speaking live to jacob rees—mogg to discuss the news that brits work from home more than almost anyone else in the world. and as the number of channel migrants this year passes, 14,000, can the authorities realistically be expected to stop terrorists slipping through the net? but to the shocking story of how the private bank coutts closed nigel farage account because frankly well, they just don't agree with his political yesterday his political views. yesterday nigel dossier nigel revealed a dossier produced by coutts, who claimed that gb news presenter's that the gb news presenter's views do not align with its purpose s and values. well
5:21 pm
earlier we pulled together a people's panel in birmingham and said this is what one chap thought i can't imagine why a bank would close somebody's account because of their views . account because of their views. >> as you know. i can imagine closing somebody's account, you know, because i used to be involved in doing that. if they were involved in criminal activity or money laundering , activity or money laundering, etcetera, etcetera. the only problem is and the only thing i think about this is i saw this creeping in before i left my employer too many banks in this country have decided to go down the route of flagging up that how brilliant we are on stonewall and all of these types of things, rather than concentrate on what their actual job is . job is. >> well, everyone knows it's happening and now we have proof. nigel joins me. thank you very much. nigel, have you had an apology? >> goodness, no . nothing of >> no. goodness, no. nothing of the . just briefings that the kind. just briefings that they give out to the bbc or whoever it might be with absolutely no regard for client
5:22 pm
confidentiality . gdpr confidentiality. gdpr regulations . and no, this has regulations. and no, this has turned into a full on fight. and patrick they have been cancelling people's bank accounts for some time. that last witness there from birmingham said he saw it towards the end career . a towards the end of his career. a series of european union directives as overregulation in this country. crazy compliance departments, you know, have made it just so easy for banks to say, you know what, your little business, your little fish counter that takes only cash. we don't want your business because, you know, you might be a for a colombian drug a front for a colombian drug ring so been happening ring. and so it's been happening to all sorts of people. it's happened to politically exposed people. nigel lawson's people. we know nigel lawson's granddaughter was refused a bank account on the basis that she was a pep, but in my case, this is very different. this is absolutely clear discrimination on on the grounds of my views and my views are perfectly lawful, legal and by the way,
5:23 pm
majority. yes majority views in in this country. and so this has turned into a very big battle. but it's not a battle just about me. it's about the way the banks have been behaving. >> yeah, about the way >> yeah, it's about the way the banks behaving, banks have been behaving, i would argue it's would argue as well. it's a battle everybody, frankly. battle for everybody, frankly. and into battle for and you going into battle for those people? >> think it is. and >> well, i think it is. and patrick, refinitiv patrick, here's why. refinitiv who who who? one of the big who won? who who? one of the big global credit agencies, your name on there . all of our name is on there. all of our names are on there. where names are on there. that's where banks to get credit checks to banks go to get credit checks to find leave a bad find out, did we leave a bad debt a foreign country or debt in a foreign country or something i get something like that. so i get why they're there. they are now working uk banks , so working with uk banks, so they'll able very shortly to they'll be able very shortly to monitor social media posts monitor the social media posts of people with individual bank accounts. >> but why? for what gain? >> but why? for what gain? >> because it seems that the banking world and certainly what we're talking about here is natwest. coutts is part of the same group as the mega natwest with their 19 million customers. the new boss of natwest. i'm alison rose has decided that the bank's main priorities are
5:24 pm
fighting climate change and campaigning for lgbt rights. quite what any of this has to do with banking, i have no idea. so they've become hugely politicised and really they should be neutral. and remember for remember that 38.6% of the natwest coutts banking firm is owned by us . yep. the taxpayer . owned by us. yep. the taxpayer. our taxes went up to bail out the greed and stupidity of these banks back in 2008. they have no right in this position to now be moral arbiters. so if they can take me out of the equation , take me out of the equation, they can take out a lot of other people too. this needs to be deau people too. this needs to be dealt with and the one thing i will say, patrick, is i've neven will say, patrick, is i've never, ever put my head over the parapet on an issue and received such broad cross—party support as i'm getting, because i'm normally seen to be very polarising figure on on a variety of issues. >> not the reason why cuz bannau well, clearly, yeah. >> cross party support and i've
5:25 pm
really been, i have to say for grant shapps to sit in this studio this morning, i mean somebody who i've never agreed with really on anything and i've been fighting for against a quarter of a century, you know, for shapps to come out as clearly as was say clearly as he was to say how absolutely , i was absolutely awful this was, i was pleased with the city minister andrew actually sent me andrew griffith actually sent me a message to say we're a personal message to say we're going to with this, we're going to get on with this, we're going to get on with this, we're going this. we're going to deal with this. we're going to deal with this. we're going rules . going to deal with this. we're going rules. rishi going to change the rules. rishi sunak responding to david davis in house of commons, who in the house of commons, who named me rishi sunak later on, tweeted my telegraph piece , and tweeted my telegraph piece, and now elon musk has joined in and liked rishi sunak tweet and said, here , here. so this is said, here, here. so this is gaining currency. said, here, here. so this is gaining currency . banks should gaining currency. banks should not be behaving as social engineering platforms . they engineering platforms. they should be there as banks. >> and i think one of the reasons why you've had such broad support on all of this and why are getting involved why people are getting involved now this might be now is i think this might be some watershed moment. some kind of watershed moment. i
5:26 pm
certainly it will be, certainly hope it will be, because i think it's the culmination of a lot of a certain type of ideology infiltrating very fabric of, infiltrating the very fabric of, frankly, right the frankly, everything right the way through from schools into social media, then into your finances. and so we have a situation at the moment, my situation at the moment, in my view, a certain worldview view, where a certain worldview or type of values or a certain type of values start to young with kids at schools, works its way schools, then works its way through the high street through to the high street advertisers . see all the advertisers. we see that all the time television as well. then time on television as well. then it infiltrates various different other sectors as well, culminating potentially other sectors as well, culmi|financially potentially other sectors as well, culmi|financially crippledtially other sectors as well, culmi|financially crippled with being financially crippled with the social media the help of social media companies . and what have companies. and what you have done, highlight done, i think, is highlight that. and that frankly, is not a million miles off a chinese style social credit system. >> worry. that's >> so that's the worry. that's the i mean, on show the worry. i mean, on my show last gb news, last night here on gb news, i explained people what the explained to people what the chinese credit model is chinese social credit model is because about we because we hear about it. we very rarely about it. but very rarely talk about it. but yeah, mean, look, without yeah, i mean, look, without a bank you become bank account, you become a non—person. without a bank account, participate account, you can't participate in life. and if that's in normal life. and if that's being done to people on the bafis being done to people on the basis of their opinion as well, it's a very, very sinister move. >> what next?
5:27 pm
>> so what next? >> so what next? >> what next is, well, i'm going to keep fighting and pushing and trying to broaden this argument as much as i can. i've been even with the media, you know, even the financial times and newspapers like that are beginning to report this very fairly and very accurately . the fairly and very accurately. the bbc is still a little bit behind on some of this. unsurprisingly i'm going to keep pushing , i'm going to keep pushing, broadening the debate, gaining support , and i'll be saying support, and i'll be saying tonight . at 7:00 on gb news, if tonight. at 7:00 on gb news, if you've been cancelled by your bank, please let me know. i've got the resources here now at gb news to follow these cases up and i'm to going encourage people who have been given a tough time by their banks to put in their own subject access requests . patrick i didn't even requests. patrick i didn't even know eight weeks ago what a subject access request was , subject access request was, right? but it's because of that that i've managed to get to the truth and i want to encourage other people to do the same thing. you know, for example, if your banks got rid of got rid of your banks got rid of got rid of your overdraft limit, it refused
5:28 pm
your overdraft limit, it refused you an extension to your mortgage it be. mortgage or whatever it may be. you've right to get this you've got the right to get this information out them. i'm information out of them. and i'm going people to going to encourage people to start let's start to start doing that. let's start to put some pressure back on this industry. >> and the bleak thing, the bleak is that could bleak thing is that it could actually tweeted something. >> well, maybe. >> well, maybe. >> didn't know . >> well, maybe. >> didn't know. i >> listen, i didn't know. i assumed what i would get back would be a whole series of stuff about my political status and why the compliance costs of that were high. and therefore, they didn't want me. what i actually got back was bile, vitriol and metropolitan elite prejudice on a scale i mean, frankly, some of the wording, some of the stuff that's written in there is extraordinary. you know, he's not been convicted of any criminal activity yet . it just criminal activity yet. it just shows you the mindset of what we're dealing with here. i mean, it is an absolutely vile document . and other people might document. and other people might discover extraordinary things about themselves to know, indeed, we are the indeed, look, we are the people's channel. >> people regard as >> and many people regard you as being the people's champion. and this kind of this is exactly the kind of stuff we should be doing
5:29 pm
stuff that we should be doing and should doing. you've and you should be doing. you've got shoulders. got incredibly broad shoulders. and last night on and like you said last night on dan show well, dan wootton show as well, you shouldn't with the shouldn't pick a fight with the hardest man the pub. and i hardest man in the pub. and i think find think people are going to find out the hard way, out about that. the hard way, nigel, they? you out about that. the hard way, nige much. they? you out about that. the hard way, nige much. i they? you out about that. the hard way, nige much. i really you out about that. the hard way, nige much. i really forward very much. i really look forward to show this evening. i to your show this evening. i know the nation does as well. nigel farage. you, nigel farage. thank you, everybody. thank you very, very much. look, i will much. right okay, look, i will just not just just say something. i'm not just saying sat just say something. i'm not just sayin i sat just say something. i'm not just sayin i mean, sat just say something. i'm not just sayin i mean, this sat just say something. i'm not just sayin i mean, this guy sat just say something. i'm not just sayin i mean, this guy takes on here. i mean, this guy takes on a huge amount of stuff on his shoulders. like i've said there. and to an issue and when it comes to an issue like easy like this, just think how easy it to actually not say it would be to actually not say anything. think how easy anything. do you think how easy it how it would be and this is how a lot of get you, right? lot of people get you, right? it's how a lot of the big banks get don't want they get you. they don't want they bank for of bank on the fact, for want of a better you will not better phrase, that you will not come suffer. maybe some better phrase, that you will not comeof suffer. maybe some better phrase, that you will not comeof personalffer. maybe some better phrase, that you will not comeof personal reputational;ome kind of personal reputational damage or being damage by admitting or being cancelled by this. they think, damage by admitting or being can youzd by this. they think, damage by admitting or being can youzd by thave'hey think, damage by admitting or being canyouzd by thave the think, damage by admitting or being canyouzd by thave the staying damage by admitting or being can y0|and)y thave the staying damage by admitting or being can y0|and the1ave the staying damage by admitting or being can y0|and the stamina staying power and the stamina in order to one through. to go and see that one through. you then therefore go you might not then therefore go the whole hog as well and decide that going up that you're going to take up legal but you know, legal action. but you know, their the wrong guy their bank on the wrong guy there, anyway, their bank on the wrong guy there, now anyway, their bank on the wrong guy there, now 6 inyway, their bank on the wrong guy there, now 6 pm. y, their bank on the wrong guy there, now 6 pm. in between now and 6 pm. in a couple of minutes, i'll be talking to jacob rees—mogg, who

the gb news forecast showers for many of us today hit and miss downpours with some sunny spells in between and it will be turning drier later as the showers fade away. low pressure still with us, but it is moving away. and so the more persistent rain that many places saw on tuesday, well, that's out of the way. but showers have replaced that rainfall. the heaviest downpours will be in the east and they'll continue into the evening in places. but eventually after midnight , most eventually after midnight, most of the showers confined to the north and northwest of scotland, parts northern, northern parts of northern, northern ireland as but elsewhere , ireland as well. but elsewhere, clear spells temperatures in clear spells and temperatures in main urban areas. 10 to 13 celsius. but in sheltered rural spots in the single figures and 3 to 6 celsius possible for parts of scotland. first thing 1 or 2 fog patches for wales and the south west. otherwise a bright start for many quite quickly through the morning the shower clouds will build once again and those showers will be hit and miss into the afternoon . i think fewer compared with
5:33 pm
today, but actually still quite a number about and they'll once again be heaviest in the east and drier towards the west. and into the start of friday while a similar start to the day bright and on the cool side. but largely dry before those showers develop into the morning. and an outlook that is remaining unsettled. bands of rain crossing the country on saturday, clearing to showers on . sunday >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . on. gb news. >> well, covid is long gone, okay, but britain is still working as if the virus was raging , apparently because a new raging, apparently because a new study shows that brits on average work 1.4 days a week from home. and that's more than any country in europe of english speaking nations. only canada is
5:34 pm
higher than that. well ole jacob rees—mogg tried to get civil servants back to the office when he was in cabinet. i believe he even left little notes saying sorry, i missed you. and for that he was absolutely hounded. and know , look at the state and you know, look at the state of play in the country at the moment. very pleased say moment. i'm very pleased to say that jacob rees—mogg joins us now. stuff . now. there he is. good stuff. so, this won't come as so, i mean, this won't come as a shock to you. do you think we are from home too much ? are working from home too much? >> i am worried about productivity that the uk has had a productivity problem now for some decades , particularly in some decades, particularly in the public sector , that the public sector, that productivity in the public sector is lower now than it was in 1997 and working from home seems to me to encourage that . seems to me to encourage that. and the studies are fascinating that when working from home started , productivity started, productivity momentarily rose . but since then momentarily rose. but since then it's begun to fall. momentarily rose. but since then it's begun to fall . and i think it's begun to fall. and i think we need to people get back into the office to become a productive, low cost economy. one of ways to tackle one of the ways to tackle inflation, which was also announced today, is to be more
5:35 pm
productive because that keeps pnces productive because that keeps prices down. >> oh, no, indeed. but i mean, it is actually quite common sense , is it not? the huge sense stuff, is it not? the huge amount people now are amount of people now that are suffering loneliness suffering things like loneliness and depression and other mental health as as a virtue health problems as as a virtue of being at home all day on their own , especially in some their own, especially in some major cities where people are in flat that means you flat shares. so that means you are in a room all day are literally in a room all day like prison, and then your local coffee shops or sandwich shops or small businesses that you would that would would see around that you would normally way to normally go to on your way to work. the work. they're not getting the passing economy passing trade now. the economy stagnates and shock, horror. we become less productive. i mean, all this stuff should be all of this stuff should be common sense, should it not? >> well, i agree with that . and >> well, i agree with that. and i think the figures inevitably disguise a mix that some hybrid working works very well. it works very well for german exports, for example, but but the 1.4 days a week average will cover some people who are almost always working from home. um, and if you're working from a call centre, but actually doing
5:36 pm
it remotely, that must be pretty dispiriting. no collegiate sense, no conversation around the water cooler . none of that the water cooler. none of that encouraged from the other people who are working from that social interaction that is so important. no indeed. >> but why are we an outlier in this? we do like to consider ourselves to be world leading in many different regards. i'm not really sure this is the this is the area that we want to be world leading in. is it really why are we why are we worse than everyone? much . everyone? pretty much. >> part of it may be to do >> well, part of it may be to do with the length of commute that the commuting time in the uk is. ithink the commuting time in the uk is. i think averages 39 minutes, which is higher than most of the rest of the world. and that gives people a strong incentive also . so we were very good at also. so we were very good at working from home when the pandemic pandemic struck that we were very innovative and managed to get to working from home very quickly. and i think it's taken time for that to wear off. and some businesses have embraced
5:37 pm
it, thinking that they'll save money on their office rent and that that will make their production cheaper. whereas in fact, i think the lower productivity is more than accounting for the savings on rent . rent. >> yes, well, exactly. that actually. and people will be thinking as well . well, you thinking as well. well, you know, might my transport know, it might save my transport costs then costs to and from work, but then if the economy tanks, then everything else starts going up, doesn't it? that gets eaten doesn't it? and that gets eaten alive civil alive as well. is our civil service this service especially bad for this i >> -- >> well, yes, m >> well, yes, i think it is that working from home in the public sector has been a particular problem and getting people back to work has remained a problem. you mentioned the notes i put out in effort to try and persuade people when the pandemic came to an end that it was important to be back in the office doing your job. and we've seen this with a number of pubuc seen this with a number of public services that people who are dealing with the probate office are writing to me regularly to say they're having difficulties as people dealing with the land registry see
5:38 pm
similarly and that this is making the provision of public services to voters and to citizens up and down the country less good. and that's why i would still strongly encourage people to get back into work. and for secretaries of state to encourage and insist upon their departments working in the office. >> look, perhaps , jacob, we >> look, perhaps, jacob, we could actually be encouraging people not just to get back into the office, but to learn a practical trade as well, so we don't have to keep importing cheap foreign to labour undercut the because the british workforce because that does people to the that it does lead people to the conclusion there's a lot of brits are lazy and i think that is something we need to push back isit is something we need to push back is it not? well oh, back on. is it not? well oh, i completely agree with that. >> i don't think the british people are lazy. i think the british are very british people are very hardworking . but the right hardworking. but the right incentives be in place incentives need to be in place and right training in place and the right training in place , but also right levels of , but also the right levels of pay - , but also the right levels of pay . and that the thing about pay. and that the thing about cheap imported labour is that not it keep not only does it keep productivity down, but that it also keeps wages down so that we find that people won't take on
5:39 pm
the jobs that they could take on because they don't pay them enough for it to make sense for their financial and family circumstances. so we need to control migration and not view it as this cheap supply of temporary labour because it doesn't actually work properly. >> no, indeed. look jacob, one more quick one with you bit tongue in cheek. this. okay but in light of all this business about migrant barges that has been going on in migrant cruise ships, etcetera, i, for want of a better phrase, floated the idea of putting one right outside that building behind you there, the house of commons, so that politics could see that our politics could see some of situation they are of the situation that they are creating elsewhere the creating elsewhere in the country not you would country. i'm not sure you would support would you ? support that, would you? >> well, i have a feeling that people might say for security reasons , we couldn't possibly do reasons, we couldn't possibly do it. i'm sure there would be a good excuse, but your point is a good excuse, but your point is a good one. politicians need to see the effects of the policies that they're making and therefore , to bring something therefore, to bring something directly to their attention . an
5:40 pm
directly to their attention. an is very often a positive thing to do. >> i look forward to your show this evening . do we know what's this evening. do we know what's on the agenda yet or are we going to have to wait and see? >> yes, absolutely . we will be >> yes, absolutely. we will be talking about inflation, the economy, and we'll also be talking a bit more about nigel farage and my own excellent bank. coutts and one earth's gone wrong. >> okay , good stuff, jacob. >> okay, good stuff, jacob. thank very, much . jacob thank you very, very much. jacob rees—mogg make sure that you keep everything news keep everything gb news this evening had evening because we've just had nigel is to going nigel on that show is to going be p.m. then we've be great at 7 pm. then we've got rees—mogg well. so got jacob rees—mogg as well. so all now there are all good stuff now there are major that terrorists are major fears that terrorists are arriving in the uk on small boats crossing the channel and that nothing is being done to stop them that we are stop them and that we are sitting time bomb . sitting on a ticking time bomb. i'm christys gb news i'm patrick christys on gb news and britain's news
5:44 pm
online gb news. britain's news. channel >> well, we can reveal here at gb news that more than 14,000 people have crossed the english channelin people have crossed the english channel in small boats so far this year . channel in small boats so far this year. fantastic channel in small boats so far this year . fantastic stuff. yes. this year. fantastic stuff. yes. fanfare everybody. but could small boats be a backdoor into britain for terrorists ? uk britain for terrorists? uk security sources have established . 19 suspects through established. 19 suspects through their routine fingerprinting of migrant arrivals , suggesting migrant arrivals, suggesting that killers could further exploit our weak borders. joining me now is chris phillips, who's the former head of national counter terrorism security . chris, thank you very security. chris, thank you very much. if i had to design an ideal system to get a terrorist
5:45 pm
into a country and then have them to commit a terror attack, i would probably design what's happening in the english channel right now. would you do? yeah. and this is no surprise, is it? >> we've known about this for years. that this this was a method of getting people into the uk , a terrorist in particular. >> and let's be quite honest, this is isis actually , we pushed this is isis actually, we pushed this is isis actually, we pushed this as a as an option. >> you know , for people to get >> you know, for people to get into the country and then commit terrorist attacks. >> so there's no surprise in this whatsoever. >> the only surprise for me is that we haven't actually had a proper yet. proper one yet. >> well well, you know, there may well have been there's been a number that have been prevented by security services and police work . and police work. >> but, of course, you know, this is also exacerbated by the sheer number of people that are now being released from prison. >> even suella braverman yesterday said that this was a major issue, that we've got people that are convicted terrorists being terrorists actually being released back into the community. >> so it is only a matter of
5:46 pm
time . and i think the contest 23 time. and i think the contest 23 that released yesterday that was released yesterday pretty much said that . pretty much said that. >> no, indeed. and yes, again , >> no, indeed. and yes, again, it's another thing that the british public is just trying to have to up , british public is just trying to have to up, isn't british public is just trying to have to up , isn't it? we have to suck up, isn't it? we now have a policy or a non policy in the channel that quite clearly making us all less clearly is making us all less safe. that quite clearly is an open terrorism. we also open door for terrorism. we also have that are a breeding have prisons that are a breeding ground and ground for terrorism, and we also terrorists ground for terrorism, and we also out terrorists ground for terrorism, and we also out of terrorists ground for terrorism, and we also out of those �*orists ground for terrorism, and we also out of those prisons as coming out of those prisons as after having served half of their sentence and we keep being told, don't we, the terror threat is severe. the terror threat is severe. the terror threat is severe. the terror threat is serious. well, actually, hang on a minute. is it not our politicians who's making it serious ? making it so serious? >> well, i've said for a while that it's like playing russian roulette with with society, because , as you know, how many because, as you know, how many terrorists does it take to kill hundreds of people? >> well, one, you know , that's >> well, one, you know, that's a simple number. >> and of course, we know well, it now appears that at least 17. >> but i think it's probably many more than that have come oven many more than that have come over, of will be known. >> you know, anyone that throws
5:47 pm
throws her passport away when they're on the channel is not coming over here because they're coming over here because they're coming good . coming over to do good. >> you say anyone? i was doing a little bit of digging into this yesterday . apparently, 95% of yesterday. apparently, 95% of the men throw their passport away , don't have any away, don't have any documentation. so it is basically everybody , isn't it? basically everybody, isn't it? can i ask you a question? it's a bit on the nose. this. okay. i don't know what your view on this will be. do you think that the sharp rise in far right extremism is actually being caused by what we're seeing happening in the channel and other similar situations ? other similar situations? >> i think it's a direct result of the rise in islamic terrorism . i think it's a it's a fear. >> you know, you get this kind of pretty what a reaction. i'm not going to say overreaction. >> you get a reaction like this when people feel that they are not being listened to and that that maybe their country is being taken away from them and
5:48 pm
whether that's true or not, i think people feel that. >> , you know, it's not only terrorists. >> patrick. >> patrick. >> this the people that are coming over, many of them are being over here being sent over here specifically to commit crime. you know, the organised crime gangs are are sending people to the uk and, you know, if you want if you think that albanian drugs, gangs are to going do a great deal of good in the uk, you're these are you're mistaken. these are really big and horrible, nasty groups of people that are over here to sell drugs and you will see a rise in killings and murders and all sorts of things that that we just don't want. and we do rely on our government to protect us. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i think sexual crimes as well . and whilst any crime is bad the idea i think of rapes and things like that on the streets of britain as a result of what's been going on in the channel is i think it's the kind of thing that people riot over. you know, it really is the kind of thing that that people write over. and
5:49 pm
the reason why i asked that question about the far right was because if we keep being told about how what a terrible thing it is in this country that we have the rise of the far right extremism would to me extremism, it would appear to me to best way stop to be the best way to stop that would again , to stop what's would be, again, to stop what's going on in channel a lot of going on in the channel a lot of routes lead back to us just getting of our borders . getting control of our borders. >> would a really good >> that would be a really good start, wouldn't it? but you know, you were talking mr know, you were talking with mr rees—mogg, a few minutes ago about seeing what about politicians seeing what actually, you know, the results of their decisions is. >> and if you live in a councillor state anywhere in the country and suddenly , you know, country and suddenly, you know, no one speaks english, then, then you are really going to be affected by, by these , you know, affected by, by these, you know, the, the immigration issue . and the, the immigration issue. and if you're affected by it , then if you're affected by it, then you do have more extreme thoughts. and you do if you live in an ivory tower in islington, where don't where you don't where you don't where you don't ever come across people that are really bad and committing crime that have just come into the country and the feeling of
5:50 pm
helplessness with helplessness that comes with it. >> seeing now, >> what we are seeing now, whether barges or whether it's with barges or hotels next, what hotels or whatever, next, what you have hovering spaceships for migrants at some soon. but migrants at some point soon. but the locals don't want it. the local politician don't want it. the area doesn't want it. the local area doesn't want it. people their jobs. they're people lose theirjobs. they're told there's nothing that can happen it's forced happen about it. it's forced upon them. we create upon them. and we also create a situation where at some point some of the people who were in these bases where there's hourly bus that they can go bus services so that they can go into neighbouring town, into the neighbouring town, etcetera be told, well, etcetera, will be told, well, we're about to reach decision we're about to reach a decision on that decision on your case and that decision might favourable. might not be favourable. so what does well, does that do? well, it encourages it off encourages people to leg it off into the country and that therefore forces them into a life criminality as well. life of criminality as well. it's completely self defeating it's a completely self defeating cycle of misery really, that we are just inflicting onto our nation. but look, thank you very , very much, chris. it's great to you on show. great to have you on the show. great to have you on the show. great to your and your to have your views and your insights chris insights as well as chris phillips. who is the phillips. there who is the former of national counter former head of national counter terrorism security . i'm just terrorism security. i'm just going to delve into the inbox very, very as well. gb
