wingman tonight. he returns in an hour's time. welcome to what's going to be a very lively mark dolan tonight in my big opinion. with inflation coming down, illegal immigration laws going through parliament and with labour's cracks starting to appear, with labour's cracks starting to appear , we're far from hanging appear, we're far from hanging on for dear life . rishi sunak on for dear life. rishi sunak should go to the country as soon as possible . a spring election as possible. a spring election could deliver a surprise result in the big story is the labour party in the throes of a full scale civil war.7 my mark meets guest is the woman who was told at the age of 11 by the taliban to give up education to stop reading and even to stop laughing thing. it's a remarkable tale of human courage and perseverance . she tells her and perseverance. she tells her incredible story before the end of the hour . incredible story before the end of the hour. in my take at head, nigel farage has proved how all of us can defeat the woke madness, which is destroying our country by fighting back. common sense, the truth and people power will always prevail . deal

power will always prevail. deal with public anger around. just stop oil protesters michael gove casting doubt on net zero. and with voters in london rejecting a new scheme to charge them £12.50 a day to drive their cars are green policies now a vote loser.7 i'll be asking tonight's newsmaker, the formidable ex—government minister, ann widdecombe mark dolan tonight is the home of the papers with tomorrow's front pages at 1030 sharp with three top pundits who haven't been told what to say and who don't. follow the script tonight , and who don't. follow the script tonight, hilary freeman, adrian hayes and linda jubilee . hayes and linda jubilee. tonight, i'll be asking the punst tonight, i'll be asking the pundits our stay at home mums undervalued as jobs become ever more demanding. are brits overworked and is modern architecture an eyesore .7 plus architecture an eyesore? plus your emails, especially the spicy ones? mark gbnews.com. this show has a strict golden rule. it's the only show on british tv that has this rule.

we don't do boring . not on my we don't do boring. not on my watch. i just won't have it. lots to get through. we start with my big opinion . politics, with my big opinion. politics, like comedy, is all about timing. and i think if he gets the election date right , timing. and i think if he gets the election date right, sunak could be laughing . i believe the could be laughing. i believe the pm should rethink his plan to string out his time in office with an october election next year or even january 2025, and instead go to the country in the spring. i happen to think even a snap election this october would lead to, at the very least, a hung parliament. why? well because i thought for a long time that shares in keir starmer are too high and shares in rishi sunak are too low. i'm aware that labour are ahead in the polls, but election after election has taught us that polls are about as accurate as a gary barlow tax return. who the

hell is going to tell a woke 19 year old pollster in a gore—tex hoodie on the high street that they support the tories? it ain't going to happen . shy or ain't going to happen. shy or disgruntled conservative? those who stayed away in yorkshire on thursday have in my view, handed labour false hope. first up, the most important issue facing voters the economy and the cost of living crisis is going the right way for the government. unlike germany and the eurozone, britain has avoided recession with unemployment down investment into the country up and retail sales evidence of consumer confidence also defying expectation actions. most importantly , inflation is below importantly, inflation is below the psychological 8% mark and will continue to head southward in the months ahead . it's not in the months ahead. it's not even impossible that by next year interest rates could come down. you heard it here first mean while the brexit deadlock has been broken with sunaks windsor framework and with a

stunning new trade deal signed with some of the most powerful economies in the world, our departure from the bloc is ageing better than brad pitt . ageing better than brad pitt. yes, the tories have completely failed to police our borders and stop the boats . but are you stop the boats. but are you seriously telling me that labour would do a betterjob given the fact that they have rejected the rwanda scheme and voted against just about every government measure to stop the flow ? the measure to stop the flow? the illegal immigration act is making its way through parliament as we speak and the government are fighting for the rwanda plan in the supreme court . now the rwanda plan could be a disastrous white elephant. maybe it's unethical . will you tell it's unethical. will you tell me? but the message to voters is clear. sunak is trying to do something thing more than can be said for the cervix. free leader of the opposition , sir keir of the opposition, sir keir starmer, who reckons he's going to get a deal with france . yes. to get a deal with france. yes. good luck with that, dean gaffney is more likely to win celebrity mastermind. meanwhile laboun celebrity mastermind. meanwhile labour, who have received £1.5

million from just stop oil evangelist dale vince have been drinking the net zero kool—aid with starmer planning to tear up oil and oil and gas licences in the north sea, should he reach number 10, a bonkers move that has infuriated even the trade unions. his plan would mean colder homes, higher energy costs wasted billions on flaky renewables and more profit for despots like vladimir putin. meanwhile labour are doubling down on the wild , unpopular ulez down on the wild, unpopular ulez scheme , which cost them the scheme, which cost them the uxbndge scheme, which cost them the uxbridge and south ruislip by—election on thursday day. it's a scheme which sees struggling londoners pay £12.50 a day for the privilege of driving their cars. it's going to be rolled out across labour run cities around the country , run cities around the country, as confirmed by labour's ginger growler herself , the deputy growler herself, the deputy leader, angela rayner . so growler herself, the deputy leader, angela rayner. so labour commits to a policy which they know has lost them a

parliamentary seat . talk about parliamentary seat. talk about go woke no votes. so the story continues. the tories, the conservatives are starting to get it. they understand they have a responsibility to clean up the planet and reduce emissions. of course they do. climate change is a worry . but climate change is a worry. but michael gove, who i haven't agreed with since the last ice age, is in the papers today , age, is in the papers today, rightly saying that net zero should not become a crusade as labour descend into civil war with keir starmer and the london mayor, sadiq khan at each other's throats and with the hard left of his party calling starmer a tory, the delicately brokered ceasefire among labour's tribal factions is no more. the tories are terrible, absolutely a brand so discredited and toxic , it's hard discredited and toxic, it's hard to see how they win any thing for the foreseeable future . but for the foreseeable future. but i believe that in our increasingly presidential system, when voters are faced with a choice of keir starmer, a walking electoral algorithm, a

human manifesto version of chat gtp software gone wrong, or rishi sunak, a quiet, industrious technocrat who just cracks on with the job and seeks solutions. it's my view that sunak edges it as the best potential ceo for the country . potential ceo for the country. it's not a good look for the prime minister to cling on to power for dear life. he needs to seize the agenda, tackle those five important policy objectives, particularly the economy and stopping the boats. at which point you may find there's no stopping him. i think sunak should go to the country in may for a spring election next year will spring this great country back into life and the outcome of a may poll may just surprise everyone . surprise everyone. i think we need a spring election. i think we need a new

government, either a mandate for sunak or a labour government. but we need to end the deadlock as possible . we can't as soon as possible. we can't cling until next autumn or cling on until next autumn or even january 2025. what do you think ? mark gbnews.com i also think? mark gbnews.com i also think? mark gbnews.com i also think that labour are overvalued in the polls. let me know your thoughts. let's get reaction now from my top pundits. journalist, journalist, agony aunt and novelist freeman , former novelist hilary freeman, former gurkha officer, author and coach adrian hayes and journalist and broadcaster linda jubilee. linda what do you think about this? a spnng what do you think about this? a spring general election? >> i can completely understand your thinking. >> mark. there are several good things happening now with the conservative party which lead us to that the party is doing to think that the party is doing the of williamson in the kind of williamson turn in the kind of williamson turn in the ocean. things the kind of williamson turn in thecould ocean. things the kind of williamson turn in thecould be ocean. things the kind of williamson turn in thecould be good ocean. things the kind of williamson turn in thecould be good .cean. things the kind of williamson turn in thecould be good . but]. things the kind of williamson turn in thecould be good . but i things the kind of williamson turn in thecould be good . but i made; all could be good. but i made a few phone calls tonight and still the received wisdom i've got is that october will be the time that we go to the polls. but you're right, it's the calibration things that calibration of things that really it's like that calibration of things that reallyquote it's like that calibration of things that reallyquote from. like that calibration of things that reallyquote from shakespeare. great quote from shakespeare. there is a tide in the affairs of taken flood

of men which taken at the flood leads to great fortune or something. that was nicely something. well that was nicely done. . done. it was. >> i thought was paul mccartney. >> but i think that's really important. the timing is really, really important and very difficult execute right now. difficult to execute right now. >> indeed. what do you think about this, adrian? i'd like the country misery. country put out of its misery. i'd politico impasse i'd like this politico impasse to resolved . to be resolved. >> well, misery is going to carry i think , for a little >> well, misery is going to car longer, think , for a little >> well, misery is going to car longer, but k , for a little >> well, misery is going to carlonger, but i , for a little >> well, misery is going to carlonger, but i thinka little >> well, misery is going to carlonger, but i thinka littbe bit longer, but i think it'll be a optimistic. mark, a little bit optimistic. mark, i think was rishi sunak, i'd think if i was rishi sunak, i'd want long possible in the job want as long possible in the job that could to make change. but that i could to make change. but so think and also the so i don't think and also the credit rating of the conservatives is so low right now amongst most voters . now amongst most voters. however, i think there's a chance the conservatives have suddenly realised that most of the policies that they're pushing or not dealing with are not they've not very popular and they've also discovered the universal concept that everything's a trade off. you know, there's choice and consequences. you talk about net zero. i know. we'll talk about that later, but they've realised they've suddenly realised there's to this. there's a cost to this. so i think if they start pushing think if they can start pushing these will these policies, which will require of the utmost,

require courage of the utmost, then they may just have a chance. but whether it's spring next year, i'm more i like linda. i think it's going to be autumn. hilary it's a fascinating situation. >> think thursday's by >> i think that thursday's by elections proved it's all to play elections proved it's all to play predicted the play for who predicted the tories holding a seat in labour dominated london. i think even if there was an election tomorrow , it wouldn't tomorrow, it wouldn't necessarily go labour's way . necessarily go labour's way. >> i think you're being a bit optimistic there. >> that seat was >> i think that that seat was specifically lost on one policy and i think, you know, it is for the it's for labour to win this the it's for labour to win this the next election . the tories , the next election. the tories, it feels like they've been in power for about 100 years. honestly i can't believe that the next election isn't due until 2025. it should be sort of next week. it's with so much has happened and i think, yeah, you said we need to put the country out misery. i think that out of its misery. i think that means for me that let's means for me that means let's have because have a fresh start because honestly , whatever think honestly, whatever you think of keir cannot make keir starmer, he cannot make a worse job it than we've had worse job of it than we've had for last few years.

for the last few years. >> so if you'd to keir >> so if you'd like to see keir starmer number as starmer in number ten as a better sunak and better alternative to sunak and the would be your the tories, when would be your preferred is the best preferred date? when is the best moment starmer win ? moment for starmer to win? >> well , whenever. whenever he >> well, whenever. whenever he wins , do you think he'll be wins, do you think he'll be a good thing? i mean, i think i think that it would be better, perhaps for the tories to have a bit more time to get themselves together. so yeah, i think you know, as adrian said, i think that that perhaps for labour it would be better to have it soonen would be better to have it sooner. but from the tory point of view i think they could, they could few years could do with another few years to happens to hope that something happens that them more that will give them a bit more popularity again, definitely we're going to return to this because i can't wait to get the views pundits. views of my pundits. >> that , uh, my team here >> i know that, uh, my team here are into this are itching to get into this story. will cover more story. well, we will cover more politics when papers arrive politics when the papers arrive at 1030. but up next in at 1030. but coming up next in the big story is the labour party in the throes of a full civil war? we'll find out after this

radio.

>> well, the emails are flooding in thick and fast. i think the shares in rishi sunak are too low. shares in keir starmer are too high. i think even if there was an election in october of this year, i don't think labour would necessarily win . but look, would necessarily win. but look, what do you think? market gb news dot com. the emails are flying in. as i say, let's get to them right now and we start with anne who says mark lies, lies and polls. i've never been asked how i would vote and i wouldn't tell the truth if i was asked labour in power. really, let's all migrants stay and give into unions and all female spaces erased. no, thank you, says annie . we also have an says annie. we also have an email from philip who says, hi, mark. i've always voted for the conservative party. i won't be able to at the next election because we do not have a conservative party. i won't be voting labour , but i hope i have voting labour, but i hope i have a reform party candidate. phil, thank for that. simon says

thank you for that. simon says regarding your opening monologue, there is no way i'm voting for either sunak or starmer . they're both at world starmer. they're both at world economic forum clones, says simon roberts as well. i wouldn't vote for wanky if you paid me. go on, read it. i dare you. well, look, robert, if that's what you think you're entitled your view, it's. entitled to, your view, it's. it's pretty fruity language. but look, mark dolan, tonight is the home of free speech. if you want to keir starmer, if you home of free speech. if you want to you'reeir starmer, if you home of free speech. if you want to you're definitely', if you home of free speech. if you want to you're definitely voting| think you're definitely voting for me a line, by for him, do drop me a line, by the way, because this is a the way, because this show is a broad church . uh, last but not broad church. uh, last but not least, now, mandy says, dear least, for now, mandy says, dear mark, you say a spring election. a election will spring a spring election will spring this into life. this country back into life. i think you're kidding yourself or you're . this country you're drunk. this country is finished . it's a joke. too much finished. it's a joke. too much immigration. finished. it's a joke. too much immigration . without the funds immigration. without the funds to our schools , to support it. our schools, hospitals, housing. cetera , hospitals, housing. et cetera, are getting worse by the day. we are getting worse by the day. we are finished here. and that's mandy in tyne and wear. mandy, thank for that. keep those thank you for that. keep those emails at

emails coming. mark at gbnews.com. it's time now for the story. this evening the big story. and this evening is the labour party in the throes of a full civil war? keir starmer has blamed the london mayor sadiq khan, for the loss of thursday's by—election in the capital as a result of the mayor's unpopular green policies. meanwhile the labour chair of the uxbridge and south ruislip constituency has resigned over starmer's support for the government's two child cap on families receiving child benefit. meanwhile rail union stalwart howard beckett has railed against the labour leadership, saying labour is no longer worthy of the name and that they are tories. so could this cost labour at the next election? let's speak to nigel nelson . gb news is senior nelson. gb news is senior political commentator. nigel is this a civil war? >> no, not quite it. >> no, not quite it. >> it's the usual rumblings. you get.tony >> it's the usual rumblings. you get. tony blair had the same kind of problems when he was trying to form new labour. so keir starmer is changing the labour party . he. you've got

labour party. he. you've got david williams , the. the david williams, the. the chairman in uxbridge who's resigned, but he's a corbynista. it's really a rerun of what was going on in about 1994 as new labour was formed. so not a civil war. a lot of grumbling , civil war. a lot of grumbling, but you've got grumbling in all parties. >> not a good look, though, is it, nigel, for a party which seeks to govern if labour do achieve power, but with a small majority at the next election, the party will be ungovernable, won't they? given that the corbynites on the back benches could effectively hold the balance of power ? balance of power? >> no. i think they'd rather disappear . and now that keir disappear. and now that keir starmer has actually been quite ruthless in purging the party of its left wing , well, that's its left wing, well, that's a good thing. or not, it is another question i'd rather like to see jeremy corbyn be allowed to see jeremy corbyn be allowed to stand as a labour mp in islington , but keir starmer is islington, but keir starmer is dead set against that. so i don't think that's the problem .

don't think that's the problem. i mean, you've just been talking about the idea of an early election. i do think that if, if rishi sunak was to go now, he would no longer be prime minister. but he might have a chance of reducing the labour majority t which might save the tory party. the last poll i saw gave the tory party 16 mps left. now the polls will close before the election , but they're the election, but they're looking, they're looking at a pretty big defeat at the moment i >> -- >> indeed. i mean you say that the corbynites have gone away. jeremy corbyn has, but there are still plenty of hard core left wingers on those back benches as a legacy of the corbyn era . i a legacy of the corbyn era. i mean. simon danczuk ex—labour mp , told me on this programme that there 20 to 30 hard left there are 20 to 30 hard left members of parliament on those back benches now if starmer gets a 100 seat majority, no problem . but if he's got a majority of five or 10 or 15, they will re—emerge and they will be quite influential . influential. >> yes, i mean, if you're

looking at a small majority, any party in government that's got thatis party in government that's got that is going to have problems , that is going to have problems, i don't think that's the situation we're facing at the moment. i mean, what the by—election showed is that roughly the swing was about the same, same as the polls have been. so it's over 20. now, this would give keir starmer a huge majority , 80 so rishi sunak only majority, 80 so rishi sunak only hope really a reducing that is to go sooner rather than later. but of course he's not going to do that. he wants to remain prime minister as long as he can. i think he'll go long on that basis and very much singing the new labour theme tune that things can only get better , things can only get better, largely because they can't get any worse . any worse. >> nigel most of the labour movement don't particularly like keir starmer, do they? how much of a problem is this? well keir starmer is not tony blair, although he's using the tony blair playbook to try and get

into power. >> so the whole the whole issue here is there's always problems in the labour party between the right of it and the left of it. so that's nothing new. the question very much is whether or not keir starmer can actually appeal to the country and again, this is rather like tony blair, that if you can't get the middle classes over, over to you, you don't win elections and that's what keir starmer has been doing . and at the moment it looks as if he's doing it rather successfully . successfully. >> nigel you've just got back from a family holiday in rhodes, which experiencing a very which is experiencing a very horrific wildfire on the island. thank god you're in one piece. what did you see, nigel? what happened ? happened? >> well, we were we were the lucky ones because we were able to actually get out yesterday and we managed to get to get out within minutes of the of the roads around us being closed off by the police . so had we not by the police. so had we not gone when we did, we'd still be there. we haven't suffered anything like what what other

people are going through today. okay. but what was happening yesterday was by yesterday lunchtime, we could see the huge pillar of smoke moving towards us. that's why we were anxious to get out as soon as possible. and then there were brits being evacuated from other hotels who turned up at our hotel. evacuated from other hotels who turned up at our hotel . they turned up at our hotel. they were just in their swimwear. they had nothing else. and our hotel was evacuated 2 or 3 hours after we left it was absolutely devastating . devastating. >> and we know don't we, that the fires still rage. well that's it. >> yeah. i mean, that this is the real problem . i mean, it's the real problem. i mean, it's a bit surprised that flights were still going into rhodes today . still going into rhodes today. okay. on the basis i don't know where you put people. i mean, people been ending not where you put people. i mean, pe hotels been ending not where you put people. i mean, pe hotels , been ending not where you put people. i mean, pe hotels , butzen ending not where you put people. i mean, pe hotels , but im ending not where you put people. i mean, pe hotels , but in evacuation not in hotels, but in evacuation centres . so the best thing would centres. so the best thing would be to stop it . centres. so the best thing would be to stop it. but i think that the real problems that people were facing yesterday was in some hotels, they actually did

catch light. we met, we met a german family at the airport. and their their hotel had gone up in flames and the only reason they were able to escape is they had a higher car. so they went straight to the airport and cut the holiday short. it's the holiday short. but it's absolutely devastating for the people who still there . people who are still there. yeah, and the question is how quickly get out. quickly they can get out. >> indeed. well look, i'm so glad and family are glad you and the family are okay. to back on okay. great to have you back on home nigel we'll catch up home soil. nigel we'll catch up soon. thanks to nigel nelson. soon. my thanks to nigel nelson. gb chief political gb news is chief political commentator. lots more to come. but first, the weather with a good friend of mine, someone that indulge in climate that doesn't indulge in climate hysteria. crazy red maps. hysteria. no crazy red maps. it's marco petagna . it's marco petagna. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers proud sponsors of weather on gb news >> we hold on to unsettled weather conditions across the uk dunng weather conditions across the uk during the week ahead. i think we'll see further rain at times and feeling quite chilly too in

you do worry that we're being manipulated. for me, it's got echoes of the pandemic . well, echoes of the pandemic. well, the emails are coming in thick and fast. i think that rishi sunak should seize the agenda and call a spring general election. opinion is divided on this. nigel says high mark at best. we get a tory party propped up with deals from minority parties at worst we get

a labour party with an 80 seat majority that faces no lords revolts on any of its promised land policies. 80 revolts on any of its promised land policies . 80 seat majority. land policies. 80 seat majority. sound familiar? says nigel. we also have charles who says hi, mark. the main policy that rishi sunak needs to reverse is the legal requirement to meet net zero by 2050. this opens the door to every bearded anorak to sue the government if they fail . look, how about this ? a little . look, how about this? a little bit of scepticism about what's happening in rhodes at the moment, jones says trees do not spontaneously combust. it has probably been set alight by a barbecue or has been set alight on purpose by the ones who want net zero. call me miss cynical . net zero. call me miss cynical. that is, of course jones opinion on a lot of weather experts . on a lot of weather experts. explain that because of rising temperatures, the land is very dry and arid. if it catches fire, you get a tumultuous effect. but is all about opinions. joan, you're entitled

to yours. linda last but not least . hi, to yours. linda last but not least. hi, mark. i will not be voting conservative for the first time. this general election would sunak still under democratically at the helm with no mandate. i won't vote for labour either. who would be even worse if there's no new right of centre party, i will be one of those staying at home. linda, thank you for that . staying at thank you for that. staying at home and i hope watching gb news. been conducting news. now we've been conducting an exclusive mark dolan tonight people's poll in which we've been asking should rishi sunak call an early general election? 52.2% agree with me and say yes . 47.8% say no . back with me now . 47.8% say no. back with me now reacting to the big stories of the day. journalist agony aunt and novelist hilary freeman, former gurkha officer, author and coach adrian hayes, and journalist and broadcaster, star of the common sense podcast , of the common sense podcast, linda jubilee. now being a parent is arguably one of the most important jobs in the world. however one husband thinks is lazy for not thinks his wife is lazy for not wanting to return to the office

after giving birth. she wants to stay and bond with her two year old son. yet he thinks she just can't be bothered to do anything. so our stay at home mum's lazy or are they undervalued? hilary they are totally undervalued . totally undervalued. >> i mean you only have to realise that being a childminder or a nursery teacher is a paid job. so why are mothers expected to do it out of the goodness of their heart for nothing? and then if they do it , treat it as then if they do it, treat it as though they're lazy. >> but on the stay at home mums, aren't of to aren't they sort of glued to like loose women you know, and this morning and then aren't they on the aperol spritzes by three. >> i've never been a stay at home mum so i couldn't tell you. but are they in the garden smoking and you know, moaning about their lives . well i don't about their lives. well i don't know about what your wife did , know about what your wife did, but. well, she does. >> i'll be honest. a lot of moaning every every moaning and she's every every right . but. but it's a big right to. but. but it's a big debate, it? mean, it's debate, isn't it? i mean, it's almost slur to be a stay

almost like a slur to be a stay at home mum, whereas actually raising children couldn't be more . well, absolutely. >> is the important >> it is the most important thing think thing you can do. and i think the thing that what happens the thing is that what happens still society , even still in our society, even though work , they still do though women work, they still do the lion's share of the childcare. and i think maybe if you know this woman, probably thinks, you know, if i stay at home, i'm doing the childcare, why should i work as well? because i'm still going to end up the childcare. i up doing the childcare. yeah. i mean, at mean, some people think stay at home lazy, don't they, home mums are lazy, don't they, linda home mums are lazy, don't they, lin> and i have variously been a sky news anchor, a foreign correspondent and a current affairs news reporter, and i've gone work after eight gone back to work after eight weeks, and less than weeks, ten weeks and less than six time. but six months each time. but i would still defend to the hilt a woman who wants to stay at home would still defend to the hilt a wonlook'ho wants to stay at home would still defend to the hilt a wonlook afterants to stay at home would still defend to the hilt a wonlook after theiro stay at home would still defend to the hilt a wonlook after their children home and look after their children because hilary , regard because like hilary, i regard it as important job you as the most important job you ever do. it's like an olympic level sport, raising children and you need to get your shoulder the wheel. but shoulder to the wheel. but the problem particular problem is with this particular man talking about his man that's talking about his wife is clearly you have to have a discussion about a discussion first, not about what your approach . so my

what your approach. so my experience where relationships are concerned, there's three big numbers. there's sex, money and children , and you've got to make children, and you've got to make sure you agree about them before you the activity . you start the activity. >> linda, you've had a brilliant career and i know you've got a wonderful family as any wonderful family as well. any regrets that you didn't spend longer home? oh, no . longer at home? oh, no. >> at the time i used to sort of think longingly, you know, wish i was in the coffee shop with the other mums and their baby carry seats and all the rest of it. i was covering, you it. instead, i was covering, you know, bombing in indonesia it. instead, i was covering, you knjakarta. bombing in indonesia it. instead, i was covering, you knjakarta. bo know, in indonesia it. instead, i was covering, you knjakarta. bo know, irfeltionesia orjakarta. you know, i felt really uncomfortable sometimes, but actually i have three wonderful children who are very, very strong minded, decent adults now and they all have admired the things i've done and no harm came to them emotionally. so you know, for me , the proof of the pudding was in the eating. i could carry on working and achieving what i want to achieve. and raise my children at the way i wanted to. but it wasn't easy. what i'm saying is for couples, they need to talk about their approach

before they start having children . children. >> yeah, i was going to say, i don't think it's any i've not been a stay at home mum myself as you gather, but it's not really to judge when really for any man to judge when i think mothers know when i think women mothers know when it's to go back work. it's right to go back to work. there's no right or wrong way. it's whatever's right with them. it's whatever's right with them. i what linda said, i do agree with what linda said, though. you know, there's a lack of agreements in this particular case. however, what i will say , case. however, what i will say, though, busy people get though, is busy people get things done and i'm sure you were same . they managed to were the same. they managed to get managed get fitness in. they managed to bnng get fitness in. they managed to bring and think bring up children. and i think and there's purpose and there's a there's a purpose in working. it gives an in working. it gives us an identity, reason for identity, gives us a reason for living. think is living. and i do think this is one eye to i. one thing digressing eye to i. and if we're all going to be stay at home paid do that, stay at home paid to do that, i don't bodes very stay at home paid to do that, i don'tfor bodes very stay at home paid to do that, i don'tfor the bodes very stay at home paid to do that, i don'tfor the future. bodes very stay at home paid to do that, i don'tfor the future. ioodes very stay at home paid to do that, i don'tfor the future. ioodthinky well for the future. i do think work important. well for the future. i do think worbriefly,)ortant. well for the future. i do think worbriefly, hilary, ijust well for the future. i do think worbriefly, hilary, i just say >> briefly, hilary, i just say the thing is we always the thing is we don't always have childcare is so have a choice. childcare is so expensive and sometimes people stay at home because it's not worth them going back. most mums don't have a choice, i would argue. exactly . or you argue. well, exactly. or you need because you need need to work because you need two incomes to write to. >> right ? completely

>> right? i completely agree. what is demonise what we mustn't do is demonise those stay at home and those that stay at home and possibly should possibly the government should encourage the encourage it. after all, the family breaking down. family unit is breaking down. who raise kids who better to raise your kids than their parents? listen new research shows that people are facing more intense workdays than ever. work life balance is going out of the window with more than a third of people working outside of their contracted hours . so as jobs contracted hours. so as jobs become ever more demanding , are become ever more demanding, are brits overworked? adrian i couldn't believe this article when i saw it. >> i said, where does this come from? was this written ten years ago? because there's half the civil gone civil service haven't even gone back office we've got back to the office we've got working we've the working from home. we've got the hybnd working from home. we've got the hybrid versions. are the hybrid versions. we are the least in all least productive company in all industrial nations. so is industrial nations. so where is this overwork coming from? i can't it anywhere . and i can't see it anywhere. and i think again, it's this think we're again, it's this softly nanny state. you know, i don't know, entitled culture. i think that's come into our into our world. >> if anything, linda, we need to get more productive. >> we certainly need to be more productive to build some momentum economy. but momentum into the economy. but i kind with you. i've

kind of disagree with you. i've got point here, got a personal point here, though, adrian, because son got a personal point here, th a|gh, adrian, because son got a personal point here, tha civilldrian, because son got a personal point here, tha civil servantiecause son got a personal point here, tha civil servant andrse son got a personal point here, tha civil servant andrse worksn is a civil servant and he works really, won't really, really hard. he won't even call from me during even take a call from me during the sits at his the day because he sits at his desk and it's time to clock off. and then he then he will talk to me. work me. so i think people do work very, hard . but one thing very, very hard. but one thing i would say is when was younger, very, very hard. but one thing i woulclsay is when was younger, very, very hard. but one thing i would wass when was younger, very, very hard. but one thing i would was anhen was younger, very, very hard. but one thing i woulcl was a young was younger, very, very hard. but one thing i would was a young reporternger, very, very hard. but one thing i would was a young reporter inar, when i was a young reporter in fleet example, there fleet street, for example, there was when you was no such thing as when you finished. when finished. you finished when the story . and if that story finished. and if that meant a doorstep or meant 18 hours on a doorstep or it continue being on a it meant continue being on a story two, three, four story for two, three, four weeks, that's what you had do weeks, that's what you had to do to get on. so i think there is an my kids would an element now my kids would probably saying probably hate me for saying this, is little bit this, but there is a little bit of the snowflake generation that goes on here. >> it. she dropped the >> she said it. she dropped the snowflake meanwhile, >> she said it. she dropped the snowfledoors meanwhile, >> she said it. she dropped the snowfledoors blocked nwhile, >> she said it. she dropped the snowfledoors blocked byhile, garage doors blocked by lampposts, nonsensical fencing and disintegrating cladding . if and disintegrating cladding. if you're moving into a newly built house, these might sound like some of the features included inhabitants are taking to social media to lament the design failures and all around atrocious appearance of new build estates across the country. so it's modern

so, you know, i went through a lot of phases in my life because i was extremely curious and like tomboyish full of energy and to be restricted by society in every possible way . every possible way. >> uh, you know, it sparked a lot of questions. you know, my brothers were going to school and they were thriving academically and would often ask you know, why are they getting educated ? what's wrong me educated? what's wrong with me that do it? and i think that i can't do it? and i think this one thing that stops making sense, everything stops making sense. and, you know, i had a lot of questions, you know , lot of questions, you know, what's then i started questions like, what's the meaning of life? how the world come into. so many. it's like so there are so many. it's like the whole structure of society starts stopped making sense to me . me. >> and you were told not to laugh. how is that possible ? laugh. how is that possible? >> well, i mean, it's because, you know, it's the you know, your voice needs not to be get out from the house. so you have to not laugh too loud. so that

building something for myself. and though it hard, it was . is and though it hard, it was. is it just the feeling to be empowered and just doing all things by myself just kept me going? well it's amazing that you taught yourself these incredibly complex subjects without a teacher . without a teacher. >> how difficult suella was it to get out of the country . to get out of the country. >> so it was every step that i took. >> so it was every step that i took . there was like new took. there was like new problems emerged that felt like insurmountable and there were times, you know, i knew things, but i had to prove to the world. so if i want to get more higher education that i know things and, you know, somehow i discovered the sat, which is the entrance exam to the us to come to the universities and that too was extremely like it was not available in afghanistan. and then i had to go to another country, to pakistan, to take it. and there was so many challenges along the way. but somehow i did that, you know , i somehow i did that, you know, i got accepted to the universities

and then i had to apply to the universities to visa to come to the us . and in the first when the us. and in the first when i went to the embassy in kabul in the first minute, i was denied a visa because they didn't think like an afghan would just go all the way to america to study . and the way to america to study. and they didn't think about like the years that i've spent, uh, get to the point >> indeed. well look, congratulations, solar on everything you've achieved, and you're amazing journey. the book is called defiant dreams the journey of an afghan girl who risked everything for education. it's winning rave reviews and it's out now. thank you, solar. hope to catch up again soon. lots more to come. but first, the weather with marco petagna . the weather with marco petagna. >> the temperature's rising . >> the temperature's rising. boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news we hold on

pregnant than a south london teenagen pregnant than a south london teenager. well, let me tell you, the answer is yes , because the answer is yes, because history has taught us that the truth, common sense and reality are an insuperable force. and the twisted and toxic ideology of wokeism doesn't bear any serious scrutiny. whether it's the economy , race relations, the economy, race relations, border control , the economy, race relations, border control, human biology, what to teach children , or the what to teach children, or the loaded interpretation of our history? it's all based on mythology, lies , invented mythology, lies, invented realities and feelings rather than facts . and all of it is than facts. and all of it is leveraged to irreversibly change our country. ultimately it's cultural communism with dark echoes of the soviet union and other despotic regimes as it involves crushing free speech, stifling debate and shaming people for not following its religious scripture. it involves censorship. it involves gaslighting eating. it involves

silencing people and seeking to destroy their lives. wokeism is tyranny. it is bullying on a societal , corporate and societal, corporate and administrative level . but administrative level. but remember what your mum and dad told you when you were growing up? what's the best way to handle a bully ? you stand up to handle a bully? you stand up to them . the reason why these them. the reason why these censorious thugs who have mangled our language with pronouns rewritten classic books and labelled women as birthing humans have had so much success. is because of fear. people are afraid to speak out for fear of the consequences . people the consequences. people understandably want a quiet life, but in doing so, the siren voices of wokeism only get louder for accepting that women have a penis is just the beginning . we, all of us are beginning. we, all of us are guilty of complying with this wave of wokeism because we want it to end. but our compliance means it never will, which is why nigel farage has set a

magnificent example in standing up to a bank who ludicrously cancelled his account for backing brexit and for having the wrong political opinions. political opinions shared by millions. thanks to his courage, coots are now running scared with a grovelling apology from the group's chief executive and with the delicious possibility that nigel could sue them for millions for discrimination and the alleged disclosing of confidential details . maya confidential details. maya forstater , an ordinary woman who forstater, an ordinary woman who lost her job for saying that there are two biological sexes through a gruelling legal process. she won her case for unfair dismissal by light in america have seen their share price collapse for calling their customers chauvinistic dinosaurs and inflicting on them a bloke in a dress who mocks women as the brand's new face. also bonng the brand's new face. also boring woke films. many courtesy of the once great walt disney

company, are tanking at the box office. meanwhile, real comedy , office. meanwhile, real comedy, like ricky gervais, is flying off the shelves. why? because people want to have a laugh and they're sick of this stifling political correctness . what political correctness. what a hilarious irony that one particular reviewer of ricky's show from the irish independent newspaper complained about gervais's un—pc jokes in a classic example of how the media elites are so out of touch with pubuc elites are so out of touch with public opinion. the headline that reads as follows ricky gervais in dublin in tolerant, nasty, gross offensive and 11,000 people laugh along . with 11,000 people laugh along. with 11,000 people laugh along. with 11,000 bigots say that's a lot of bigots. pity this one woke journalist in the crowd with a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp. he goes on to write in the article, gervais made jokes about homeless people illegal immigrants and inefficient children working in third world

slave labour, sweatshops . as the slave labour, sweatshops. as the reviewer is furious. but his vast audience is furiously laughing and gervais is laughing all the way to the bank . why the all the way to the bank. why the disconnect now between the pubuc disconnect now between the public and the corporate media and political elite is vast, which is why gb news is growing so robustly. and i'm delighted to say thanks to you, i'm normally beating sky news about now it's time to defeat the woke taliban by voting with our feet voting with our wallet, and voting with our wallet, and voting in the ballot box. it's time to cancel. cancel culture and wipe out wokeism once and for all. the raw war on woke is absolutely no joke . your absolutely no joke. your reaction? market gbnews.com. i'm delighted to have a response now from my top pundits. journalist agony aunt and novelist hilary

freeman , former gurkha officer, freeman, former gurkha officer, author and coach adrian hayes and journalist and broadcaster linda jubilee . adrian hayes. linda jubilee. adrian hayes. i've had enough of this and so have most of the public. >> you're right, mark, and i think it's quite incredible when we look back the last three years that, you know what we talk about now was not even a fraction of the news. it is three years ago. but i think the pubuc three years ago. but i think the public having enough. and three years ago. but i think the pub said having enough. and three years ago. but i think the pub said ithaving enough. and three years ago. but i think the pub said it corporate ough. and three years ago. but i think the pub said it corporate the]. and three years ago. but i think the pub said it corporate the elites you said it corporate the elites , institutions, governments are completely out of touch with what the general public think and could be and i'm i'm sensing we could be at peak woke now. and it's at peak woke right now. and it's not a moment too soon. but what it take certain cases it will take in certain cases and cuts bankers maybe and i think cuts bankers maybe a tipping point also with children. i think the real ground swell of against the ground swell of fury against the trans gender ideology that's being pushed in our schools, i think these are tipping points. i think the public, again , the i think the public, again, the people's force change. >> although hilary freeman , >> although hilary freeman, those who self—identify as woke would argue they're just trying to make the world more inclusive i >> -- >> give yeah. and i think that

originally there was something very positive about the woke movement , very positive about the woke movement, but it wasn't meant to be the way that it's become. and i think the problem is it's a generational thing . it seems to generational thing. it seems to be something that people between about 20 and 40 are upholding . about 20 and 40 are upholding. young people who are older can't abide it. and from what i can tell younger people , you know, tell younger people, you know, the children coming through, teenagers now are also saying, hang on, this is ridiculous. so i think it's a generation thing. and this is what always happens. you we bounce, bounce you know, we bounce, bounce backwards and forwards you backwards and forwards from you know, wokeism. and, you know, as a reaction to things . but, you a reaction to things. but, you know, in principle, of course, it isn't a good idea to discriminate against people and many of the values that wokeism holds are very positive ones. it's just been taken to an extreme . and it's the way that extreme. and it's the way that we've been made to live in fear of being cancelled if we don't do what we're supposed to do or say what we're supposed to say, that's it's gone wrong.

that's where it's gone wrong. lynn to this woke tyranny won't end without a fight. >> not at all. >> not at all. >> and i think the problem is hillary's sort of really crystallised is that the crystallised that is that the corporate world has kind of got hold this and they've hold of this and they've embedded it into their esg , e.g, embedded it into their esg, e.g, that's the environmental, all sociological and governance issues. it's the it's that's the follow on from csr. what they've doneis follow on from csr. what they've done is they've built it in to the, to the concept and to the purpose of the company . you purpose of the company. you heard nicola sorry. alison rose dame alison rose at coutts. so actually she got rid of the company and the bank got rid of nigel farage. it was admitted finally they got rid of him because, because of his political views and he got information from inside the bank that supports that view. now what is that all about? that supports that view. now what is that all about ? about what is that all about? about because if the bank has a policy of inclusion equity, why did they exclude someone like nigel farage when they didn't exclude

, for example, the chilean dictator, augusto pinochet , who dictator, augusto pinochet, who banked his money with the american arm of the bank and the prime minister of qatar, which has an appalling record in human rights . why? why pick on nigel rights. why? why pick on nigel farage, who really is small fry in comparison to some of the other people , just to make a big other people, just to make a big virtue signalling thing of it all? >> absolutely terrible . linda, >> absolutely terrible. linda, you have inspired a brand new catchphrase for the show , which catchphrase for the show, which is that diversity isn't diverse and inclusivity . we ain't and inclusivity. we ain't inclusive no more from my brilliant pundits, very , very brilliant pundits, very, very shortly, they've got the papers at 1030. of course, they'll be reacting to tomorrow's front pages. but next, with public anger around, just stop oil protesters, michael gove casting doubt on net zero. and with voters in london rejecting new voters in london rejecting a new scheme to charge them £12.50 a day to drive their cars are green policies now a vote loser? i'll be asking tonight's newsmaker, ann widdecombe. she's

radio. has is woke one that was the topic of my take at ten in just a couple of minutes ago. >> the emails are coming in thick and fast . but how about thick and fast. but how about this cath who says mark, this from cath who says mark, spot regarding your spot on regarding your monologue. we've all had enough. well, at least 90% of us have . well, at least 90% of us have. mark says hi, mark woke will never win. people have had enough. it's nothing more than communism. please gb news keep up the good work, mark there in cardiff. beautiful city of cardiff. beautiful city of cardiff. christopher says thanks mark, for your excellent take at ten i agree with ten monologue. i agree with everything death to everything you said. death to wokeism says christopher deborah . since finding gb news, i have it on all the time so fab to hear the truth. i love it. and nigel farage is now my hero. he stood up to the bullies. love him . nigel gets stood up to the bullies. love him. nigel gets a kiss stood up to the bullies. love him . nigel gets a kiss from him. nigel gets a kiss from deborah. i'm very jealous, deborah. i'm very jealous, deborah. i'm very jealous, deborah. i can't lie. last but not least, for now , alan says

not least, for now, alan says hi. mark. i will never accept this woke crap, but unless you have a public platform, how do you it? there are you end it? there are celebrities and high profile people rubbish in people spreading this rubbish in the media. alan, thank you for that. the media. alan, thank you for that . mark the media. alan, thank you for that. mark gbnews.com. the media. alan, thank you for that . mark gbnews.com. more that. mark gbnews.com. more email shortly. don't forget the papers at 1030, but it's time now the news maker in which now for the news maker in which we to fearless we speak to a fearless commentator on the big stories of day . tonight, with of the day. and tonight, with pubuc of the day. and tonight, with public around just stop public anger around just stop oil protesters , michael gove oil protesters, michael gove casting on net zero. and casting doubt on net zero. and with voters in london rejecting a new scheme to charge them £12.50 a day for the privilege of driving their cars are green policies. now a vote loser? let's put that to tonight's newsmaker , a former government newsmaker, a former government minister, bestselling author and television personality, ann widdecombe. good evening and lovely to have you back on the show. the former environment secretary there, michael gove , secretary there, michael gove, pushes race for net pushes back on the race for net zero, saying it mustn't be a crusade, hinting at what many of us think that this has become a religion. have the tories woken up and smelt the coffee?

>> well, i think they may have woken up a bit. i mean reform uk has been saying this for a very long time, that there's a complete of any complete lack of any proportionality in the drive towards net zero. people are going to be required to install expense boilers. they're going to be required to buy expensive electric cars and now, you know, there was a proposal that would have meant that every time they drove into london, they were they were to hit a they were going to be hit with a charge their cars weren't charge if their cars weren't compliant. and it's a complete lack of proportionality . now, as lack of proportionality. now, as i've said before, you know , we i've said before, you know, we contribute 1, one 1% towards the world's carbon emissions. china over 20. you now what is the point of britain putting on a hair shirt and getting completely disproportionate and having , you know, unmoveable having, you know, unmoveable targets when in fact we contribute so little? and i think what the public are saying is they're not saying we reject

the whole climate change agenda . what they're saying is we want some proportionality in this gulf . and all i can say is that gulf. and all i can say is that the tories have woken up very, very late because of reform, has been saying abolish ulez for a very long time, reform has been saying, you know, do away with the arbitrary net zero timetable and have something far more responsible and proportionate . responsible and proportionate. now, you know, reform uk has been saying that my message would be wake up and listen to what they're saying. the tories are you know, are only just catching up most certainly now and labour have doubled down on their eco policies, with keir starmer pledging to tear up nonh starmer pledging to tear up north sea oil and gas licences and today the deputy leader, angela rayner said that the unpopular ulez scheme, which sees drivers pay £12.50 a day to get in their cars , will be get in their cars, will be rolled out across the country. >> will labour pay a political price for this ?

price for this? >> well, they already have an oxbridge and if they don't see that, then they're even more stupid than i thought. they were anyway. so yes, they will. they will pay a high price for that . will pay a high price for that. and if they've decided to double down rather than listen to what the voters are saying, well, you know , that that is going to come know, that that is going to come back bite them and it's back and bite them and it's going to bite them hard . going to bite them very hard. but as the tories are but as i say, the tories are pretty slow on this. you know, they really back they don't really want to back away arbitrary targets and away from arbitrary targets and they should do and i think they my generation, we've seen it all before now. we've seen the heat waves. we've seen this. we've seen that. we don't think that every last thing is down to global warming. and i think now people are beginning to wake up and say, yes , there is global and say, yes, there is global warming and yes, we do need to do it. but do something about it. but actually we're not going actually now we're not all going to tomorrow morning . to be extinct tomorrow morning. >> completely. and >> indeed. so completely. and the voice of now blocking the voice of reason now blocking motorways, attacking couple at motorways, attacking a couple at their wedding. there seems to be a new low forjust

their wedding. there seems to be a new low for just stop their wedding. there seems to be a new low forjust stop oil a new low for just stop oil every week, doesn't there? a couple days ago, mother couple of days ago, a mother wasn't to get her sick wasn't able to get her sick child to hospital. meanwhile, we've seen members of the public take the law into their own hands. an it's become violent as a former home office minister, would you like to see the police deliver a more robust response to these protesters who are breaking the law , sir? breaking the law, sir? >> well, i've been saying that for a very long time. where are the police? you know, when that mother was trying to get baby mother was trying to get a baby to hospital , where were the to hospital, where were the police? are the law and police? they are the law and order agency . there isn't order agency. there isn't anybody else. and if the police don't do their job, then it's quite inevitable that citizens , quite inevitable that citizens, even very law abiding , cautious even very law abiding, cautious citizens, are going to take the law into their own hands, not because they want to, but because they want to, but because they want to, but because they haven't got any darn choice . and really, the darn choice. and really, the police need to wake up. the government needs to wake up the whole thing should be tackled now , we've seen a very firm now, we've seen a very firm reaction from government on the banks following the cootes

chaos. we should see an equally firm reaction towards just stop oil. there capable of stopping it . i don't mean stopping oil, it. i don't mean stopping oil, i mean stopping the demonstrations. yeah, there capable of stopping it. if only they have the will. and the one thing this government has lacked throughout its entire term is will. >> and i've only got a couple of seconds left. what's your appraisal of those doomsday red weather maps suggesting that, as you hinted there, the world is going to blow up by next tuesday ? >> 7- >> no, 7— >> no, really. 7 >> no, really. again i ? >> no, really. again i think people are waking up. they're waking up to the disproportionality of the message, particularly from the bbc. everything is down to climate change. polar bear only has to sneeze. and it's all down to climate change. and people want a lot more proportionality and they're not going to be scared now by weather maps like that because as i say, you know, our generation has seen it all before. we've seen the forest fires , we've seen the heatwaves.

fires, we've seen the heatwaves. there's nothing new under the sun. and the only thing sun. an and the only thing that's on fire is you. >> lovely to have you on the show. you a week's show. we'll see you in a week's time. folks , is time. the weather folks, is next. . next. here's marco. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> we hold on to unsettled weather conditions across the uk dunng weather conditions across the uk during the week ahead. i think we will see further rain at times and feeling chilly times and feeling quite chilly too brisk breeze. low too in the brisk breeze. low pressure is dominating at the moment, deep area of moment, a fairly deep area of low pulling low pressure gradually pulling away towards of the uk away towards the east of the uk over day or but over the next day or so. but nofice over the next day or so. but notice moving of notice this slow moving band of rain a central slice of rain across a central slice of the uk continues to give the uk that continues to give some heavy bursts through the evening. in fact, we have a weather until weather warning in force until midnight and that then midnight and that band then pushes into southern parts pushes south into southern parts of and wales into the of england and wales into the early hours. the far south—east hold some spells hold onto some clear spells and clearer with a few showers towards north northwest towards the north and northwest , chilly those , but turning chilly under those clear towards clear spots towards the northwest, too. temperatures into single figures here. as for monday, well, it's a case of fairly wet conditions across the

radio.

email from john has woke one. >> that was the topic of my take at ten, which ben in our digital team is currently crafting into a video at gb news on twitter. hi mark. the reason woke thrives is because we have not been involved in a war on a large scale. people have become soft and sensitive. they have to remember sticks and stones break bones , but words will never hurt bones, but words will never hurt you . i've got some great emails you. i've got some great emails to come, but first, let's do this . yes, indeed . a look at this. yes, indeed. a look at tomorrow's papers. hot off the press . we start with monday's press. we start with monday's mail and a shocking story. i'm blessed. my cancer was caught quickly in an emotional interview, the chancellor, jeremy hunt, describes his fight with cancer, a disease that killed his parents and has now struck his brother. to jeremy hunt reveals how his family has been devastated by the disease and urges britain to lead the global fight against the illness . daily express hell on earth.

journalist, presenter and the star of the common sense podcast , linda jubilee. so many stories to get through , obviously quite to get through, obviously quite shocking. there sir hilary, front page of the mail . shocking. there sir hilary, front page of the mail. i'm blessed. my cancer was caught quickly the chancellor rishi had a diagnosis for cancer. his brother now has it and we all know someone affected by the disease. >> well , disease. >> well, yeah, i think it used to be 1 in 3, but now it's1 >> well, yeah, i think it used to be 1 in 3, but now it's 1 in 2 people that are affected by cancen 2 people that are affected by cancer. so so pretty much everybody is going to is going to know somebody or be affected themselves. yeah. and you know, we don't really know why that is. why it's on the increase so much. the holy grail, adrian, is a cure, isn't it? >> well , and i a cure, isn't it? >> well, and i know we've had doctor carol sikora on the show many times , top oncologist, many times, top oncologist, cancer expert . cancer expert. >> he speaks a lot. and he he bemoans how we manage to spend. i would say plunder for 120 billion on covid and yet a fraction of that on cancer. if we'd only put one tenth the money we put on covid into cancer , perhaps we'd bit

closer. >> and cancer, a disease which is discriminatory in the is not age discriminatory in the way covid was. way that covid was. >> says we're now down to >> hilary says we're now down to 1 2. it's out of control. and 1 in 2. it's out of control. and we've got to do something about it. far more seriously than we are. >> yeah, mean, is really >> yeah, i mean, this is really a national isn't it, a national emergency, isn't it, linda? cancer? >> it is , is. but i do >> i think it is, is. but i do think there's lots of things, particularly where skin cancer is concerned that people can do in prevention. yeah. in terms of prevention. yeah. and one of the things people don't do is they still don't cover up enough under the sun on and skin cancer can be one of the most treatable forms of cancer there are other disease which is far more other types of cancer which are far more serious. but what he's talking about that can be preventative and prevented. >> yeah, well, indeed . and we >> yeah, well, indeed. and we wish him well. i'm pleased that i understand based upon this story in the mail, that that it's been treated successfully. i'm blessed . my cancer was i'm blessed. my cancer was caught quickly , says the caught quickly, says the chancellor. me while linda tory's warned over fiddling with

green policies whilst roads be burns. it's a dilemma for both keir starmer and rishi sunak how green to go. >> i just don't know what either party is going to do about this because the fact of the matter is one thing that really concerns both political parties is bringing in younger viewers and if you don't get it right with the green agenda, you won't pull in those younger viewers. now, this is slightly less of a problem for the labour party than it is for the conservative party who are deeply concerned about their failure to engage with younger potential voters. and the trouble is, as i said, if they don't get the green agenda right, the green policies right, they won't attract those younger voters. >> but that's a contradiction for isn't there, hilary? for labour, isn't there, hilary? because the metropolitan areas are very heavily, disproportionately supportive of labour and very pro net zero, but other more traditional labour voters in the red wall are not that keen on red zero net zero because they're paying the price . the price. >> well, yeah , i mean i don't

>> well, yeah, i mean i don't i don't know what the solution is to this for either party. i think that that people have got to make tough decisions and they might have to make tough decisions that voters may not like ultimately , you know, like ultimately, you know, sometimes we've got to do things that people necessarily that people don't necessarily like . us like for. us >> linda, come back and say , can >> linda, come back and say, can i just say very, very quickly, i just one thought, just interrupt one thought, because we gloss over this. >> but in those byelection results, the really big surprising thing was that in two of them was the success of the green party. they may not have won those seats, but they got some of the best results they've had in decades. >> and yet in germany, they've had the lowest share had the lowest result of share in elections . in recent elections. >> but that course is because >> but that of course is because the power the greens have been in power in coalition, they? so, coalition, haven't they? so, i mean this is a hard but but on on this on this actual story, obviously expect a lot of the obviously we expect a lot of the papers to cover roads. >> i was wondering how many papers link it climate papers would link it to climate emergency. has emergency. the i has unsurprisingly you know even

climate change zealots would say you cannot judge us one instant and put it down to climate change. so you're always looking at trends. but i think this is a rather mischievous sort of linking, really, you think i mean, what do you think is going on in roads? >> i mean, clearly it's a tragedy and we hope everyone can make a speedy the canadian wildfires global wildfires also, is it global warming ? warming? >> i would doubt about that. we've done you know, when you look data, you look at the data, you see there's wildfires than there's no more wildfires than there's no more wildfires than there 100 there has been in the last 100 years. very easy to years. i think it's very easy to pinpoint this proves pinpoint that this proves climate change is happening. it's got to look at it's not. you've got to look at trends. spoken many trends. and i've spoken many times the climate emergency, times on the climate emergency, but what hillary, but going back to what hillary, hillary's the green hillary's point and the green policies, think , as i said policies, i think, as i said earlier, it's a matter of trade offs. and i think we've we've gone so gung £12 billion gone so full gung £12 billion a year being put onto net zero subsidies and they finally recognised that there's trade offs to be made here, which is we're all paying more for our bills. >> yeah, i mean, you mentioned bills. >> �*had, i mean, you mentioned bills. >> �*had to mean, you mentioned bills. >> �*had to push, you mentioned bills. >> �*had to push back mentioned bills. >> �*had to push back on�*ntioned bills. >> �*had to push back on this1ed you had to push back on this idea that these fires idea that these wild fires are

related change, but related to climate change, but i mean, the vast majority of climate experts, climate scientists do say that the planet is heating up and this is evidence of it. how would you counter evidence of it. how would you couwell , i always say the vast >> well, i always say the vast majority of experts , neil oliver majority of experts, neil oliver did a massive great monologue last night, you know, disproving the 97% of scientists. that's well recognised data out there. look you know , we can talk about look you know, we can talk about climate change, whether it's happening, whether it's manmade, whether it's natural cycles. i tend believe it could be a whether it's natural cycles. i tenof believe it could be a whether it's natural cycles. i tenof both. eve it could be a whether it's natural cycles. i tenof both. but it could be a whether it's natural cycles. i tenof both. but what ld be a whether it's natural cycles. i ten of both. but what we're a bit of both. but what we're speaking now the speaking about now is the policies do with it. policies we do to deal with it. i personally don't think that whatever governments do can control the climate as much as we believe we can. and the trade offs consequences are offs are the consequences are huge. offs are the consequences are huge . linda. huge. linda. >> well, i with all due respect to neil oliver, an to neil oliver, who is an extremely entertaining broadcaster , the fact is i don't broadcaster, the fact is i don't think he proved anything. now, the fact of the matter , mark, is the fact of the matter, mark, is you are right. most of the leading scientists in this space are deeply concerned and there's no point in rubbishing what

they're saying about what we're doing to the planet. we do need to try and approach 1.5. the 1.5 rule, and we're not going to be able to do it. and there are very severe consequences that we will face. now, the fact of the matter is we will have to bring in but pain , no in policies, but no pain, no gain. actually we're trying gain. and actually we're trying to build a world for the future, for our children. need to for our children. and we need to accept that. sometimes we have to sacrify crises. to make sacrify crises. >> however, what's the point if countries like china, india , countries like china, india, brazil and the united states are burning fossil fuel for fun? >> we the view that britain is leading the world, i think is just bluff . it's just leading the world, i think is just bluff. it's just bs. we are negligent about negligent. part of that overall impact. but i've said it before, but i would rather we focus far more on environmental conservation issues which are not related to the climate like chemical pollution, pollution, pollution, plastic pollution, human waste all the other human waste and all the other things that are being neglected on of the climate. on the altar of the climate. well, agree. well, i agree. >> one of those lovely >> i was in one of those lovely cheap price fashion cheap cut price fashion shops yesterday , hillary, and it was a

yesterday, hillary, and it was a sea of polyester. no one talks about pollution. do they know ? about pollution. do they know? >> no. well, people want cheap fashion, don't they? people people don't want to pay for stuff, ultimately, like stuff, but ultimately, like i said, you know, the politicians are going make have to make are going to make have to make hard so are public. >> but listen, there was a suggestion there your suggestion there in your last answer think the public answer that you think the public are have to swallow are going to have to swallow this. years, this. but we had three years, didn't we, of sort of state sponsored hysteria to during the pandemic? were ordered to pandemic? we were ordered to stay at home. our faces were covered. were vaccinated covered. we were vaccinated against our in many against our wishes. in many cases. against our wishes. in many cases . and it feels we're cases. and it feels like we're doing it all over again with climate. point do the climate. at what point do the pubuc public have a say? >> i don't think it is comparable really, because with covid of the blue. covid it came out of the blue. i mean, we should have been expecting we weren't. expecting it, but we weren't. we were some other kind were expecting some other kind of pandemic , but we weren't of a pandemic, but we weren't ready for it. and we were we you know, the government reacted as it happened. didn't know what they were doing. yeah. catching up on their, you know, catching their own tails . this is their own tails. this is different. is something different. this is something that known a that has been known about for a long we know the science

long time. we know the science and there is plenty of time. you know, you say we know the science. >> i w- science. >> i that's what we had >> i mean, that's what we had dunng >> i mean, that's what we had during the during covid, wasn't it? the science science. science is settled science. i mean, put video mean, if you put a video on youtube it or youtube questioning it or debating it, you get cancelled . debating it, you get cancelled. >> there is no such thing as the science . it is science ever science. it is science and ever moving object. >> it's a large >> yes, but it's a large consensus over a long period of time, whereas covid we were you know, there are studies were happening as the pandemic was was happening . you know you was happening. you know you can't do retrospective studies on something that you're in the middle whereas with with on something that you're in the midcclimate hereas with with on something that you're in the midcclimate change, ith with on something that you're in the midcclimate change, with ith on something that you're in the midcclimate change, with , h on something that you're in the midcclimate change, with , you with climate change, with, you know, with global warming, you want it, know, this know, with global warming, you w¢this it, know, this know, with global warming, you w¢this is it, know, this know, with global warming, you w¢this is something know, this know, with global warming, you w¢this is something that'sthis know, with global warming, you w¢this is something that's been is this is something that's been predicted is now coming to fruition. >> but what difference can we make it's 1 to 2% of make if it's 1 to 2% of emissions from the uk, which isn't bad for the fifth biggest economy you know, economy in the world? you know, what make if what difference will it make if brits are shivering their brits are shivering in their homes? winter? homes? this winter? >> saying , you >> but that's like saying, you know, when you're a kid, like when everyone behaving when everyone else is behaving badly, behave badly, so i might as well behave badly. absolutely. badly, so i might as well behave bachu absolutely. badly, so i might as well behave bachu obviously.utely. badly, so i might as well behave bachu obviously won't . my >> you obviously won't. my school . but there's no answer to

school. but there's no answer to that, is there? because until china and the others act, it's futile . futile. >> well, then we've got to actually get tough with china. we've got to say good luck with that maybe the oil >> yeah, maybe just the oil needs i listen, needs to go and i don't listen, hillary, i don't disagree with you. >> if n you. » if you. >> if i knew >> if we if i knew that we could work globally work together globally in a partnership , it would partnership, it would be a wonderful that wonderful thing. i worry that things bad things have got to get so bad and panics. look and then everyone panics. look we too late, right? >> then w“ >> yeah. then it's too late. >> yeah. then it's too late. >> all agree human >> we all agree on the human condition. renewables is the future. time frame, i future. it's the time frame, i think the impact. oh, yeah, think is the impact. oh, yeah, the renewables. yeah, that's a >> renewables. yeah, that's a that's another thing, the that's another thing, by the way, course that way, because of course that involves investment from involves a big investment from the it. and what the state doesn't it. and what bothers me about the renewables is that it's an experiment. people talk about. this is like the future of energy supply. we don't windmills and don't know whether windmills and solar farms are going to deliver . linda certainly ones . linda and certainly the ones we have at the moment haven't been brilliant the few been brilliant in the last few weeks difficult weeks and it's really difficult with as well because with wind farms as well because you're sure what the you're never quite sure what the weather's do. weather's going to do. >> really the >> and you need really the really the right conditions for those kind of wind farms to actually work to any degree.

yeah, it's quite difficult to. >> well, you know what like >> well, you know what i'd like i would like evidence based science for net zero. so what i mean by that is during the pandemic, know, if had pandemic, you know, if you'd had proper debate within sage about, you lockdowns, you know, lockdowns, cost benefit analysis, a few economists in there going, you're going destroy the you're going to destroy the economy . that's good. economy. that's not good. we need that with net zero. need to do that with net zero. we have that the we don't have that at the moment. we've got big corporations have corporations saying, i have the answer windmills. answer and it's windmills. >> not windmills. it >> well, it's not windmills. it isn't but nuclear. and isn't, but it is nuclear. and i think should be putting. think we should be putting. that's true. >> true . >> very true. >> very true. >> rolls—royce, one of the key just for government to just waiting for government to do it. >> meanwhile, lib dems >> meanwhile, the lib dems proudly in 2010, i proudly announcing in 2010, i think it was , that they've think it was, that they've cancelled nuclear projects. and of course, we'd have those in action now. we'd be fine. we'd be like france. the be like france. anyway, the debate continue . market debate will continue. market gbnews.com. we got more papers. hot off the press. next up, the sun, the telegraph and the times . plus, my pundits will nominate their headline heroes and back page zeros. see you into .
