3:07 am
economically homeless because they don't like him and they don't like his views. the shoe would be on the other foot if, god forbid, saint lary gary lineker , i should say. if gary lineker, i should say. if gary lineker, i should say. if gary lineker lost his account, can you imagine? what about war loving podcaster alastair campbell ? imagine the uproar. campbell? imagine the uproar. all the world's grumpiest teenager, greta thunberg . what teenager, greta thunberg. what if she was affected? should any of their accounts have been cancelled ? there would have been cancelled? there would have been uproar. you would have been able to screams through the to hear the screams through the thick papered walls of thick velvet papered walls of the groucho club in soho . first the groucho club in soho. first up, bbc's former ruler in up, the bbc's former ruler in chief, the queen of bad takes, emily maitlis weighs in with her view on the farage de—banking scandal . scandal. >> the power of the populist somehow is to turn utter entitlement into victimhood . entitlement into victimhood. >> wow. nice bit of victim blaming there. getting debunked was all a clever ruse by nigel farage, it would seem. how can you be so bitter and twisted and not see how chilling it is to
3:08 am
lose your bank account for wrong? think you would have thought these broadcasters would love the idea of a plurality of views? after all, that is meat and drink to them. it's what they do. argument discussion. the competition of ideas. good luck with that. it's echo chamber politics all the way now with the media elite, including the comedy writer and occasional gmb presenter adil ray, who tweeted farage holds dangerous views that should not be allowed in any environment . that's in any environment. that's right. not allowed in any environment. what are the logistics of that one? people thinking different things is so dangerous, isn't it? thinking different things is so dangerous, isn't it ? meanwhile, dangerous, isn't it? meanwhile, enter stage left shadow chancellor rachel reeves, who seems to take sides with the outgoing natwest ceo . outgoing natwest ceo. >> i don't like some of the frankly, what i see as bullying attitudes towards her. she's the first female chief executive of natwest. she oh yes. >> dame alison rose presided over an organisation that
3:09 am
cancelled an account based upon legally held political views. she leaked confidential financial information about an account holder to a journalist and said things that were not true . she stuck around for days true. she stuck around for days on end when it was palpably clear she'd made a howler and her position was untenable. but don't be too unkind because she's a lady. and ladies are so delicate. haven't you seen the barbie movie? you bigot dame alison rose might have broken the rulebook in every single department and presided over a collapse in the share value of the company by almost £1 billion. but it's a price worth paying billion. but it's a price worth paying for. a bit of diversity. girl and all that. by the girl power and all that. by the way , rose may well get way, rose may well get a multi—million pound pay off. well, it wouldn't be banking if it didn't reward failure , would it didn't reward failure, would it? what about the bbc themselves who published the original lie about farage being too poor for an account under the auspices of their business correspondent simon jack, who seems to know jack about accurate journalism ? where is
3:10 am
accurate journalism? where is bbc verify when you need them? meanwhile nick robinson, a bbc lifer who joked about how few viewers gb news have but isn't laughing now , had a pop up laughing now, had a pop up farage on the today programme this week. take a listen . this week. take a listen. >> mr farage you know, pretty much whatever you do, there are people saying, i know what this is about. who wants to get back into politics again? know into politics again? i know you've seven times and lost you've run seven times and lost seven but are really seven times, but are you really not going have this? not going to have this? >> sick to death of your >> i'm sick to death of your condescending tone. about condescending tone. it's about time. you , mr time. i'm teasing you, mr farage. teasing you farage. i was teasing you weren't what you should say to people you're the only person people is you're the only person in history has won in british history who has won two national elections, leading in british history who has won two different elections, leading in british history who has won two different partiesis, leading in british history who has won two different parties ,., leading two different parties. >> i think that's a mic drop. yes the shocking nigel farage de—banking scandal has drawn attention to the ideological capture of not just our banks, but all of our public institutions. the media politic 7 institutions. the media politic ? yes, the public sector, the civil service art galleries, museums, the nhs , the bbc, you museums, the nhs, the bbc, you name it. all of this pointed out
3:11 am
by rock star academic professor matthew goodwin , who joins me in matthew goodwin, who joins me in just a few minutes . what the just a few minutes. what the media elites can't understand or won't understand is that none of this is about nigel farage. it's the principle of these organisations becoming so political that they will seek to damage an individual for not buying into to their rigid religious woke scripture. what about us? for them, a campaign group, a non—profit organisation set up by worried parents to defend the rights of children dunng defend the rights of children during the pandemic. what happened to them? they were debunked by paypal for campaigning for kids. or how about the free speech union? again debunked by paypal for standing up for you guessed it, free speech as george orwell does an impersonation of the large hadron collider in his grave . and breaking news today , grave. and breaking news today, arch remainer and good friend of the show, gina miller, has disgracefully had her account closed as well. where does this end ? those at champagne end? those at champagne socialists scoffing about farage and defending coutts bank are
3:12 am
the same people who would love to have more control over social media that would like the internet to be policed by agencies like ofcom. these are the people who would relish the closure of gb news. the reaction to the nigel farage de—banking scandal demonstrates the moral bankruptcy of the radical progressive left who millions of labour supporters also can't stand any view is concerned and dangerous. if they don't agree with it. if these people had their way, we would be living in communist china, where you can't even buy a train ticket if you stray from the government approved narrative. these woke commoners haters don't want free speech, free thought or free debate . and that's what i call debate. and that's what i call dangerous . dangerous. your reaction , mark, at
3:13 am
your reaction, mark, at gbnews.com. let's welcome my fantastic pundits tonight. delighted to welcome journalist and radio star mike porky parry. top comedian sevilla curci and fashion journalist. isn't it obvious, lizzie zita , great to obvious, lizzie zita, great to have all three of you with me. sevilla we're old friends. you're a famous leftist celebrity leftie. i'm a celebrity lefty. >> oh, my gosh. >> oh, my gosh. >> i think i think you've made more in the middle as well. >> i better take that back then. >> i better take that back then. >> but you must be worried about some of your friends that have lost plot defending elite lost the plot defending an elite bank and not an bank like coots and not an ordinary british citizen who loses their right to bank. >> i mean, great like >> okay, so i mean, great like monologue, right? many monologue, right? so, so many things unpick and it's i things to unpick and it's i think we've got to be really careful we can't make this a left thing because , left or a right thing because, you know, there was a time when muslims were getting their bank accounts cancelled and nobody said great that said anything. it's great that nigel a high, know, big nigel has a high, you know, big platform made, you platform that he's made, you know, awareness around know, raised awareness around this. those this. and it's one of those things where free speech and freedom of expression is one of
3:14 am
those that we all get those things that we all get caught including myself, caught out, including myself, who like. i'm all about who i really like. i'm all about free free expression, free speech and free expression, but caught out like, you but i get caught out like, you know if you're to have a know, if you're going to have a go just stop oil support go at just stop oil support protesters, you've you then lose your if we lose the right to protest, we lose our right to protest, we lose our right to protest the things against. we want. now, if we ever go at nigel farage because we don't agree with him and then you think, oh yeah, he deserved it, but not going to be long but it's not going to be long before your bank details before maybe your bank details will cancelled. correct. and before maybe your bank details wi if, cancelled. correct. and before maybe your bank details wi if, if cancelled. correct. and before maybe your bank details wi if, if people ed. correct. and before maybe your bank details wi if, if people are correct. and before maybe your bank details wi if, if people are critiqued,nd if, if, if people are critiqued, it's critique his it's okay to critique his politics, but it's not okay to think it's okay that he gets his bank account cancelled . and bank account cancelled. and because that is really scary for all of us, it's very north korean because they attacked his family as well and they didn't ask to be in the public eye. >> yes, i think the glee with which this news was was met among sort of the champagne swilling media elite was deeply troubling zita, do troubling. lizzy, zita, what do you think? fact they you think? the fact that they were nigel farage? were laughing at nigel farage? >> i think that i

3:17 am
well in life and i fear it. what about the people who can't defend themselves? >> amen to that. here's the thing , folks. if you accept this thing, folks. if you accept this , cancel culture because people like nigel farage are individuals, you don't agree with, well, be careful what you wish for because the woke crocodile will eventually come for you. more on that later in the show coming up next in the big story, is high immigration a price worth paying for a successful economy ? i'll be successful economy? i'll be asking rockstar academic professor matthew goodwin , who professor matthew goodwin, who speaks of brexit betrayal. why is that? he'll tell us after this
3:18 am
3:19 am
3:20 am
folks, i will get to your emails very shortly. mark at gbnews.com big reaction to my big opinion. but britain's most talked about academic professor matthew goodwin, whose substack articles at matt goodwin org rail against the woke takeover of our public
3:21 am
institutions has sparked a major debate online with the following tweet . he tweeted the following tweet. he tweeted the following in case you've not noticed the entire point of brexit is to build a different economy. is being dumped both left and right , and now fully committed to mass cheap migration to keep businesses happy , to keep wages businesses happy, to keep wages low downward pressure on lower paid british workers and weakening their bargaining power and distorting the market. s so it's mass migration a price worth paying for economic growth? or are the current numbers of net migration most recently 600,000 in a year? a race to the bottom for the country and a betrayal of brexit? well, i'm delighted to say the aforementioned professor matthew goodwin joins me now. and matthew , isn't high and matthew, isn't high immigration good for economic growth? what's not to like . growth? what's not to like. >> well, look, everybody wants a strong economy, mark, but the economy is not the end . the
3:22 am
economy is not the end. the economy is not the end. the economy is not the end. the economy is also here to serve the rest of us, to build stable communities is to contribute to the good life. what we've got in britain at the moment, i'm afraid, is a political economy which is really geared towards serving the elite and ignoring everybody else . uh, what we're everybody else. uh, what we're seeing now are leaders on both the left and the right continuing to import cheap migrant labour rather than invest in in british. >> could these high figures of migration , matthew, be migration, matthew, be considered a brexit betrayal . considered a brexit betrayal. now we've just lost the line to matthew there. we're going to reconnect with matthew very shortly . the vagaries of an shortly. the vagaries of an internet zoom conversation. what do you think about this idea of net migration being at 600,000? there are many technocrats who would argue it's directly linked to higher growth . it's all about to higher growth. it's all about the economy. but then where do you get the gp surgeries and the
3:23 am
hospitals and the schools from? i'm delighted to say matthew goodwin is back . and matthew, goodwin is back. and matthew, i'm pleased that you've put £0.10 in the metre. could these high figures of net migration even be considered a brexit betrayal ? betrayal? >> absolutely. most of the people who voted for brexit wanted lower immigration, not continue the continuation of mass immigration. so what we're seeing here is essentially the conservative party selling out that brexit project. mark and refusing to do what many voters wanted, which was to build a different political economy which invests in british work . which invests in british work. here's look, what's going on at the moment is nothing short of scandalous . both left and right scandalous. both left and right are ignoring what millions of people voted for. and this will have political consequences . it have political consequences. it might not be necessarily a new party on the right of the conservative tvs. it might just be mass apathy. many people not voting at all because they think that actually nobody is really
3:24 am
listening to them. but what we've got here, let's be clear firstly, is an open admission from many elite organisations that the whole point behind mass immigration is to keep wages low. so when they say things like immigration helps inflation, what they mean is immigration keeps wages low. so nice to have everybody admitting that this is what it's been about for the last 20 years. that's the first point. and the second point is that if you look at where we're going as a country in the future, we have now got an economy that is basically a bit like a drug addict. completely addicted addict. it's completely addicted now continuation of low now to the continuation of low skill, cheap labour, which companies and big business love, because those workers tend to have less rights and they tend to be less flexible. and it means the person who gets stuffed in all of this is the average british worker. and that's why i think we need to be speaking out much more forcefully against this political , because it is political economy, because it is not working for us. it is not working for britain. and it is
3:25 am
not working for ordinary british people. well, indeed . people. well, indeed. >> and with those levels of net migration , access to a gp, migration, access to a gp, access to a school place, having access to a school place, having a roof over your head is going to an increasing to become an increasing challenge . matthew, why have the challenge. matthew, why have the conservatives in particular abandoned their pledge to drastically reduce immigration ? drastically reduce immigration? >> well, firstly, because they never really understood what brexit was all about. secondly, because the conservative parliamentary party is largely dominated by business liberals, the donor class behind the party is dominated by business liberals. they're fully invested in continuing this economic model. they don't see slashing immigration as a priority . and immigration as a priority. and to be honest, they view cultural issues as being beneath them . issues as being beneath them. and this is fundamental , ali, and this is fundamental, ali, the big problem facing british politics, which is i don't really think we have a conservative party that is reflecting the needs and the aspirations and the wishes of a large majority of voters out
3:26 am
there. the american conservatives, mark, as you know , have changed their position on all of these issues considerably over the last ten years. the british tories have failed to do so. they are in cahoots with big business and they're in cahoots with many of their allies within the elite world. and they're not being responsive. and my big worry here, as i say, is not necessarily that, you know, we'll have a big political insurgency per se, although i think in some respects that would be positive. my bigger worry is people just give up on the political system. i think they just basically walk away and they say, look, you know, we've been saying for 20 years, we've been saying for 20 years, we don't want to live in an economy , be shaped around cheap economy, be shaped around cheap migrant labour. now is somebody in power going to listen to those people or are they not? because if they don't, there will be consequences. >> as briefly, matthew , do you >> as briefly, matthew, do you think we're approaching a situation in which we have a uni
3:27 am
party where you can barely tell the difference between labour and the conservatives and could that democratic crisis that provoke a democratic crisis 7 that provoke a democratic crisis ? i think we do have a new consensus, mark. >> i think that consensus is basically pro high immigration , basically pro high immigration, pro globalisation, pro london, pro globalisation, pro london, pro middle class , pro net zero pro middle class, pro net zero pro middle class, pro net zero pro woke . given that the pro woke. given that the conservatives have actually really not done that much at standing up against radical progressivism . um, and so progressivism. um, and so i think many people will are looking at left and right today . they a bit like they looked at them in the late 2000 or the early 2010s before nigel farage and the uk independence party took off. and i think they just see parties looking the same. i don't think they see any meaningful difference between them. i think rishi sunak and keir starmer , you know, look keir starmer, you know, look very, very similar with the exception of 1 or 2 minor issues , there's not really that much ideological distance between them, which is why, by the way, mark, i think both of those
3:28 am
parties are deeply vulnerable . i parties are deeply vulnerable. i do think that if there was some kind of people's movement that was geared towards the established parties, i suspect it would be very successful. i mean , i notice in the polls that mean, i notice in the polls that parties like reform have been ticking upwards, reaching 8 or 9% in the national polls as an example. i just think many people out there are looking at the establishment and still saying after brexit, after the 2019 election, you guys just don't get it. >> they don't get it. matthew goodwin is the author of the best selling book values, voice and virtue, and his unmissable interviews columns interviews and substack columns can matt goodwin. can be found at matt goodwin. org. thanks, matt. have a great weekend and your reaction. mark at gbnews.com is net migration of 600,000. a brexit betrayal. let me know your thoughts. first up, the weather . up, the weather. >> that warm feeling inside i'd from boxt boilers is proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> hello there i'm jonathan

3:35 am
alan number three has said matthew goodwin your guest is spot on we have a so—called elite who don't give a stuff about the british people their culture or social structure for the first time in my life, i'm starting to think perhaps a revolution to oust them all might actually be a good thing. well, of course, alan, i couldn't condone any violent action, but certainly use your free speech. well, and exercise your opinions through channels like this and elsewhere, because thatis like this and elsewhere, because that is what it's all about. peter says unless another party can get higher profile on policies like this, there's little hope for the country. reform uk does not have a high profile. none of my friends have heard of this party, says peter. i could just go on. your emails are just flooding in. how about finally meghan? meghan, how are you? welcome to the show. margaret gbnews.com. meghan has said hi mark. we voted to brexit determine how many immigrants should come here based on our economy. we also have to determine many asylum determine how many asylum seekers permanently seekers we should permanently accept. most accept. england is now the most densely populated country in
3:36 am
europe, overtaking the netherlands . replace echr with netherlands. replace echr with uk air . netherlands. replace echr with uk air. meghan, thank you for that. keep those emails coming. mark at gbnews.com. let's get reaction to the big stories of the day with journalist and radio star mike parry . comedian radio star mike parry. comedian and broadcaster sevilla curci . and broadcaster sevilla curci. and fashion journalist and political commentator lizzie zita . now in fresh calls, zita. now in fresh calls, campaigners are calling for pregnant criminals to no longer be sent to prison. this comes after an 18 year old mother lost her baby after her cries for help went unheard , leaving the help went unheard, leaving the teen alone for 12 hours, forcing her to cut her baby's umbilical cord with her own teeth. new figures reveal nearly 200 pregnant women in england were imprisoned last year alone. and it begs the question, should pregnant women ever be put behind bars ? lizzie . behind bars? lizzie. >> it's a really difficult one in i think perhaps not because
3:37 am
of the child. the child has not committed any crime . and so committed any crime. and so therefore, they should not be made be i'm just throwing it out there imprisoned until the baby is born. but if i was very, very difficult, if i was if i was a criminal, if i was let's say i led a gang, never say never. >> i do think i'm quite rough around the edges. >> you're the leader of our gang. >> that's that's that's the plan. >> and you're definitely ne'er do wells. >> but if was a criminal, >> but if i was a criminal, i would send pregnant women to do bank knowing bank robberies knowing they won't jail. won't go to jail. >> it's a very difficult >> well, it's a very difficult question. but once they are in jail, need to treated jail, they need to be treated really, well. stats really, really well. the stats are very, very high. 14% of that's the national average of babies that go sent into hospital. and have to have special care where for women who are pregnant have their babies in prison. it's about 24. it's too high. and they are alone a lot of the time. they don't. not
3:38 am
receiving medical care . it's receiving medical care. it's a bit barbaric , to say the least. bit barbaric, to say the least. >> michael, what do you think about this? it's an eternal debate, isn't it? yeah, it is. >> there's a jail called wakefield. okay. up the wakefield. okay. up in the north—east of england, up in yorkshire. and it's built specially to house all term prisoners, full term prisoners. okay. who'll never get out the most dangerous people in this world. the evil people . why world. the most evil people. why can't we build a special unit that would cater for females who are convicted of a crime but who are convicted of a crime but who are pregnant and need special care? yes, because i agree with that. because you can't expect an individual jail like brixton in london or durham to have a special unit for one pregnant woman in three years. you see what i mean? so why can't we have a maternity prison unit which does nothing but deal with those women? because what happenedin those women? because what happened in this terribly tragic case of this young 18 year old woman as she was let down by the
3:39 am
system and people are often let down by the system because the system doesn't respond and react to its responsibilities . it's to its responsibilities. it's a big responsibility because the government and the state have the response ability of looking after prisoners . and if after prisoners. and if prisoners need special needs as as prisoners with mental health do, and full term prisoners , do, and full term prisoners, psychologically there should be a special need for women who are pregnant, who go into jail. >> what what about lizzie? >> what what about lizzie? >> what what about lizzie? >> what about women who get pregnant in order to avoid going to a proper jail? >> to a properjail? >> well, it's not the baby's fault . she shouldn't do it. but fault. she shouldn't do it. but it's not the child's fault. and we've already had a cycle of look, most women who end up in jail, 60% of them have been subjected to terrible domestic violence . 50% of them are drug violence. 50% of them are drug addicts . now, the overall addicts. now, the overall figures let me have a look here, have come down 24% of all women being admitted since 2010. now,
3:40 am
that's pretty good . but the that's pretty good. but the thing is, it's not the babies . thing is, it's not the babies. i'm a mum, you know, it's that little creature. and also it continues the whole cycle . continues the whole cycle. little sweetheart, the little baby. little sweetheart, the little baby . it's not little sweetheart, the little baby. it's not their fault. >> you're right. >> you're right. >> if i could just interject. my lord. i was just going to say that i think this is a really interesting dilemma because i think it's a human rights issue. i think any woman should i don't think any woman should have to. i agree with mike. i think idea to have think it's a great idea to have a unit, especially for a special unit, especially for pregnant women and every woman who's have pregnant women and every woman whcproper have pregnant women and every woman whcproper care. have pregnant women and every woman whcproper care. but have pregnant women and every woman whcproper care. but the have pregnant women and every woman whcproper care. but the dilemma the proper care. but the dilemma i'm going to say is what if you the woman that went to prison because she had an abortion and everybody wanted her to go to prison who didn't believe in abortion, if she then got pregnant would want abortion, if she then got pregtonnt would want abortion, if she then got pregto go would want abortion, if she then got pregto go to would want abortion, if she then got pregto go to prison?ld want abortion, if she then got pregto go to prison? that's want her to go to prison? that's that's like a dilemma for those who what alluding who what mark's alluding to there, about pregnant there, lizzie, about pregnant women in my day and age , when women is in my day and age, when i was growing up as a you know, in early 20s, it was always in my early 20s, it was always about, oh, all these young girls go and get pregnant so they can get a free council house.
3:41 am
>> you see what i mean? so they kind of weaponized pregnancy in a context. and what a social context. and what mark's is, oh, you know, mark's saying is, oh, you know, a pregnant commits a pregnant woman commits a crime. believe anybody crime. i can't believe anybody could that cynical and that could be that cynical and that brutal and ruthless. but the situation is women who are with child are different. and so we have to have facilities to treat them. >> the child is more important than the crime . than the crime. >> absolutely. and also, i've worked with female prison wardens and they've said to me it is absolutely heartbreaking. visitation time. they have to physically separate the mothers from the children. it's a very difficult moral. but, you know, we are judged as a society by how we treat the most vulnerable. members should pregnant women ever go to prison ? >> 7- >> so, 7— >> so, julia, 7_ >> so, julia, a ? >> so, julia, a couple of seconds go for, say, toxic stress basically affects any pregnancy and can affect the baby. >> and that's where any stress . >> and that's where any stress. >> and that's where any stress. >> well, there you go. is that a fair argument from sevilla and lizzie, the baby , the unborn lizzie, the baby, the unborn babyis lizzie, the baby, the unborn baby is no criminal market

3:46 am
professional game where loyalty is a rare commodity. le tissier turned down many lucrative offers from top clubs to remain at southampton for the entirety of his senior career. he was the first midfielder to score 100 goals in the premier league won and eight caps for england. although anyone worth their salt in the world of football thinks it should be closer to 80. a man of principle and conviction for the entirety of his career . he the entirety of his career. he brought that to his punditry at sky sports, and as a top pundit in the news, making headlines for his vocal criticism of covid 19 lockdowns and mask and vaccine mandates, a single minded free thinker. he's now one of the most contentious and talked about commentators in the country. matt le tissier, welcome to gb news. thanks, mate. you didn't expect to take this journey, did you, into the world of current affairs and politics and disastrous government policy ? government policy? >> i have no idea how this came about. quite frankly. it wasn't the plan, was it? no. i mean, i was quite happy sat on
3:47 am
television on a saturday afternoon, commentate on football and chatting football matches and chatting about things and then about all things sport and then the mental. in march the world went mental. in march 2020. we'll get straight 2020. well, we'll get straight to that shortly. >> let's talk about your incredible football career . you incredible football career. you would a rich if you taken would be a rich man if you taken some lucrative offers some of those lucrative offers as chelsea spurs , many others. as chelsea spurs, many others. why did you stay at southampton? >> i've a different reasons. at different times, really . family different times, really. family reasons first, first and foremost for the spurs thing , foremost for the spurs thing, when i was 21, in back in 1990 when i was 21, in back in 1990 when chelsea tried to buy me in 95, that was more for my personal happiness. i i was very happy at southampton playing football the way i wanted to play football the way i wanted to play it. i was never one for going chasing after money. that was never my goal in life. i loved my football . i wanted to loved my football. i wanted to play loved my football. i wanted to play it the way i wanted to play it, and i could do that. southampton so i chose to stay. >> and you always wanted to win, but you view football as an entertainment product and the
3:48 am
fans are there to have a great time to and enjoy what they're watching. >> i've always grown up thinking that football should be an entertainment, an entertainment industry. shouldn't be about industry. it shouldn't be about big making money. big business and making money. and for me, my main objective and so for me, my main objective when i went out on a football pitch was to make sure that the people who paid good money to come and watch the game had something send them home with something to send them home with a their face. a smile on their face. >> wouldn't want to play >> so you wouldn't want to play for george graham's for example? >> i wouldn't have enjoyed the bonng >> i wouldn't have enjoyed the boring one. nil wins. no >> england is clearly >> to write england is clearly the career that got away out of your hands. having looked at your hands. having looked at your extensive and amazing story in football, it seems political rather than football based. i think you turn down the advances of both. glenn hoddle and terry venables when they were club managers and you paid the price for england . for england. >> yeah, i mean, i turned both of those down at various times and they both went on to become england managers a couple of years after i turned down. years after i turned them down. so it's difficult to actually
3:49 am
say that was the reason why, because they actually did pick me . you know, terry gave me a me. you know, terry gave me a couple of starts, one of which was abandoned after 27 minutes in dublin, which due to crowd trouble, which i played in, and glenn hoddle started me in one game. but yeah , i didn't get game. but yeah, i didn't get many opportunities under them and i felt like there were times in my career when i was playing well enough to have been given a little bit of a run in the team. any lingering anger or bitterness towards the fa for not having more caps? no, i don't do anger. i don't do bitterness . it's that's the way bitterness. it's that's the way my career went. i chose the decisions i did to stay at southampton, which may have cost me some england caps. but again, ihave me some england caps. but again, i have no regrets about that. i don't i don't do bitter. i don't don't i don't do bitter. i don't do angry. >> well, you've had an incredible career in football and you're one of the icons of the premier league. so it worked out how far into the out great. how far into the pandemic was it when you realised something right? pandemic was it when you reaivery something right? pandemic was it when you reaivery earlything right? pandemic was it when you reaivery early .|ing right? pandemic was it when you reaivery early . from right? pandemic was it when you reaivery early . from the right? pandemic was it when you reaivery early . from the moment >> very early. from the moment the videos came out of china, of
3:50 am
the videos came out of china, of the people collapsing in the street, basically, and that was the moment when i went, street, basically, and that was the moment when i went , that the moment when i went, that doesn't look, that doesn't look genuine. that doesn't look real. >> didn't happen >> because that didn't happen here when covid arrived, it? here when covid arrived, did it? no. it's never happened anywhere >> it's never happened anywhere else those else in the world. yet those videos were as one of the videos were cited as one of the reasons why we have to shut down the whole economy, ruin a whole bunch of people's lives from the lower and middle classes and make the people at the top of the tree a whole lot richer. for strange that it is. >> well, i'm aligned with you on your views about lockdowns mask and vaccine mandates. i've certainly had pushback. i've most likely paid a price. have you ? you? >> have i paid a price? i guess the price people will probably point to is i lost my job. sky may tell you something different. they told us that they just want to take the show in a different direction. but they didn't deny that it had something to do with my post on
3:51 am
social media. so possibly my job, i guess in the early days, probably my family and close friends thought i'd gone a bit mad because i was i was kind of going against the narrative and they thought that i was some they thought that i was some they thought that i was some they thought i'd had mental health issues quite frankly. i knew that i didn't at and thankfully i stuck to my guns and what's transpired over the last 2 or 3 years, a lot of them have now come to realise that i wasn't mad and i, i was actually talking quite a lot of sense. i wasn't right about everything, but i was right about a lot of things. >> well, there's two sides to every coin. of course, the authorities in this country would argue that lockdowns mask mandates and the vaccine mandates and the vaccine mandates countless lives. mandates saved countless lives. however, have sweden however, you have sweden who didn't these didn't have any of these authoritarian measures, who boast the lowest excess deaths
3:52 am
in europe dating back to 2020. >> how funny. >> how funny. >> funny that . listen, by the >> funny that. listen, by the way, i've got to ask about your health. you're unvaccinated. how did you survive the pandemic? >> i've no idea. you know, do you feel weak? i've even you feel weak? i've not even seen a in the last three seen a doctor in the last three and a half years. it's remarkable. it's amazing. and if i one, i probably had to i needed one, i probably had to wait time. anyway, wait a long time. anyway, no one has explained to me. >> look, think maybe, possibly >> look, i think maybe, possibly there could be of there could be a point of disagreement think that disagreement where i think that those vulnerable may have benefited from the jab. i still no one's explained to me why we had vaccinate healthy people had to vaccinate healthy people who face mortal risk who did not face a mortal risk from virus . from the virus. >> yeah, also, no one has >> yeah, and also, no one has actually gone back in time to view what matt hancock said in the houses of parliament when he said that these will be an adult, only vaccines and they're not for children. and yet they came for our children and that for me, you know, people gloss over that. there's nobody at the bbc verify going back to verify that one is there. >> it made no sense. they didn't verify joe biden saying if you
3:53 am
get the vaccine, you won't get covid. others that said you won't all which won't spread it, all of which were debunked mrna were debunked so—called mrna animation. what would you say to those who argue that you're a conspiracy theorist , dangerous conspiracy theorist, dangerous or mad . or mad. >> follow me around . you know, >> follow me around. you know, go and have a look at interviews. i've done. i think when you go against the government narrative, you you will get labelled in the mainstream media as all those things because they don't want people waking up to the corruption that is in our government. and all around our institutions, including the one that regulates the tv industry, and that's ofcom , who have been and that's ofcom, who have been absolutely disgusted in the way that they've looked at this channel, but yet turn a blind eye to all the misinformation that comes out on people like the bbc and sky news. >> could an hour . the bbc and sky news. >> could an hour. i >> matt we could do an hour. i want to thank you so much. it's been a fascinating conversation. do come matt le tissier do come back. matt le tissier plenty of opinions. this show is

4:05 am
of the day and the former prime minister, tony blair. remember him, has warned against asking the public to do a huge amount to tackle climate change, saying britain's net zero efforts cannot solve global warming alone. he pointed out that what britain could achieve would be dwarfed by the impact of actions by countries such as china. so is tony blair right to suggest that we row back on the to race net zero? is it a race to the bottom for this country ? let's bottom for this country? let's ask tonight's newsmaker, broadcaster and commentator sue cook. broadcaster and commentator sue cook . sue, great to have you on cook. sue, great to have you on the show . tony blair's comments the show. tony blair's comments are significant , aren't they? are significant, aren't they? what's your reaction ? what's your reaction? >> well, i never thought i'd find myself agreeing with tony blair, but this time, yes, i completely agree. i think he's right. why should the public pay for this? we seem to be, you know, a feather for every wind that blows with all these things. everybody who bought diesel cars thinking that was the right thing to do back in the right thing to do back in the 20s and now lumbered with
4:06 am
diesel cars that they don't know what to do with and can't sell. and now i suspect that we're buying electric cars and that could be a cul de sac as well. and why should we pay for all these things? and the thing that really upsets that nobody really upsets me is that nobody we're allowed any say in we're not allowed any say in this. our voice isn't heard. there's no i don't really think the law courts was the place to debate this. i think maybe the tories were wrong to take that to the law. courts i think i think we need maybe a referendum, but we certainly need a debate and we need to see hear other voices in all this . hear other voices in all this. >> indeed. although what would you argue the you say to those that argue the planet is on fire? we've had global health authorities today saying that global warming is over and we've now entered a new stage, sue cook, which is global boiling . boiling. >> yes, good old mr guterres is. i am just very suspicious. i'd like to accept everything. i want to listen to everything. i want to listen to everything. i want to listen to everything. i

want to hear anything, everything. and consider everything. and consider everything. but it's the hysteria. it's the fear that mongering that that that makes me so upset. and it's crazy to make everybody hysterical. we've had it all with covid the fear mongering , had it all with covid the fear mongering, and now we've had it all with covid the fear mongering , and now we've got mongering, and now we've got fear mongering all over again and again. we're not hearing any balanced voices. the people who are wheeled out are people from imperial college . once again, imperial college. once again, alarm bells . and i don't i think alarm bells. and i don't i think it's absolutely right to look at things in a considered fashion. but let's forget the hysteria and the fear mongering . and and the fear mongering. and there are so many other environmental considerations we should be looking at like plastics, for example. all those masks that went into the ocean. i'm very concerned about the plastic pollution in the in the oceans. plastic pollution in the in the oceans . i was plastic pollution in the in the oceans. i was reading the other day about salt, for example, there are plastic, little plastic particles now, all our salt and we're all ingesting that. there are so many things i think are actually more important than air quality .
4:08 am
important than air quality. >> well, i couldn't agree with you more. do you think that a resistance to the net zero agenda will feature in the general election campaign next year? i think it's bound to, yes. >> i think it's very important. and i think a lot of people feel much more strongly than than we're hearing really a lot of again, the people we see on the on the mainstream media are people who just i mean, i've heard the bbc a couple of times recently wheeling out people who sound virtually nutcases. i mean , really extreme views about we're all we're all going to die . we're all doomed. we're all .we're all doomed. we're all boiling . and i feel very sorry boiling. and i feel very sorry for children who are listening to all this and must be terrified. why can't we have a proper balanced and unemotional , objective debate about all this? >> and of course, sue, we don't want to make the mistakes of the pandemic. so i've been arguing on this show for an evidence based so it's
4:09 am
based approach. so if it's windmills or solar panels , i'd windmills or solar panels, i'd like a dispassionate group of experts to debate it and say , experts to debate it and say, well, okay, the windmills are very low in terms of their immediate emissions, but what about the energy input to create the windmill in the first place or the precious minerals required to pipe those resources into the power grid? we need evidence based policy and it doesn't feel like we've got that i >>i >> i completely agree with that . and i worry about the electric cars. for example, i've got an old car and i've held on to it for nearly 29 years old now. my old saab and i love it if i were to sell that and get a new car, the amount of energy that would be used to manufacture a new car if i was going to get an electric car with the lithium battery, the lithium batteries are, you know , with phone are, you know, with phone batteries, they're finite . so batteries, they're finite. so after 8 or 8 years or so , you after 8 or 8 years or so, you got to get a new you've got to thinking about a new one. and the lithium is really expensive.
4:10 am
it's expensive mind. there are people suffering terrible conditions who are digging this lithium stuff out. and i don't think that it's any more more environmentally friendly or energy using any less energy than us carrying on driving our old cars until they die and then replacing them when they need replacing. >> well , replacing. >> well, indeed, we can replacing. >> well , indeed, we can both >> well, indeed, we can both agree . and it's certainly my agree. and it's certainly my view that the planet is heating up and we want to get those emissions down. i'm no climate change denier, but unlike covid, we've got to debate the measures by we seek to tackle it. by which we seek to tackle it. and as you've hinted there, the pubhc and as you've hinted there, the public on board as public need to be on board as well. i think that's very important to toyota have recently back electric recently pushed back on electric car because said car technology because they said it sense if you it doesn't make sense if you build electric car and that build an electric car and that car is powered and charged up by fossil fuels , it's fossil fuels, it's a contradiction. so could we briefly discuss a rather contentious issue? and it's about supermarkets who apparently, according to new research which have been
4:11 am
advising us to over cook our food, there's a suggestion now that overcautious cooking instructions are destroying the great british roast . what's your great british roast. what's your view ? view? >> well, they're covering themselves, aren't they? i suppose they might be worried that somebody might sue them if they undercook their chicken and say it's all your fault because you didn't put the right amount of time on the on the label. but i've always cooked chicken by i've always cooked a chicken by my always told me 20 or my mother, always told me 20 or 20 minutes per pound and then an extra minutes. and that's extra 20 minutes. and that's always me. always worked fine for me. i don't bother with thermometers or anything and actually i think you can smell when something's done properly . so there's done properly. so there's something about just the smell of it. yeah, i think it's done. get it out the oven. maybe stick a knife in it. the juices a little knife in it. the juices run yeah. the chicken's run clear. yeah. the chicken's cooked. that's does it for me. but think they're just but i think they're just covering everybody's covering themselves. everybody's so about litigation so worried about litigation these days. it's to that, these days. it's got to be that, hasn't it? really >> are you a whiz in the kitchen? have you got a signature dish? sue >> um, well ,
4:12 am
signature dish? sue >> um, well, my name is cook, but it's also sue cook, which means under chef. um, so , yeah, means under chef. um, so, yeah, i like cooking . means under chef. um, so, yeah, i like cooking. i do like cooking, actually, during covid, i found it really therapeutic . i found it really therapeutic. but tonight my husband's done a wonderful barbecue. we've got some. some people in the garden enjoying wonderful barbecue beef as we speak . as we speak. >> well, there you go. >> well, there you go. >> and they're enjoying the global warming as they shiver outside . and sue, enjoy the rest outside. and sue, enjoy the rest of the party. thank you for giving up chunk of your giving up a chunk of your evening. and can i congratulate your terribly evening. and can i congratulate your behaved terribly evening. and can i congratulate your behaved ? terribly well behaved? >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> a brilliant tv legend, sue cook. what a treat. don't you think sue is fantastic. would you like to see more of her on the show? let me know. mark at cbnnews.com. i most certainly would. we've got the papers at 1030 sharp with full pundit reaction, but massive news in london, which affects everybody across the country. ulez this controversial new policy which will see people pay £12.50 a day to drive their cars in outer
4:13 am
london. well, labour , if they london. well, labour, if they get into power, want to roll this across the country. we will react with my pundits. is this a war on working people? that's
4:14 am
4:15 am
4:16 am
next isn't it ? look, the emails are isn't it? look, the emails are coming in thick and fast. many of you very much enjoyed the contribution of tv legend sue cook talking about climate hysteria . even tony blair has hysteria. even tony blair has come to his senses, talking about the fact that working brits should not pay the price for net zero. alexander says . for net zero. alexander says. more from sue cook, please. still attractive and sensible to boot. still attractive and sensible to boot . there you go. that's all boot. there you go. that's all you want, isn't it? to be attractive and sensible? that remains my ongoing ambition. >> yeah , not quite reached there >> yeah, not quite reached there yet . yet. >> necessary quality that people needisnt >> necessary quality that people need isn't this a bit sort of anti attractiveness for those of us who are not? >> well, that raises a big question. >> i don't know if you've seen
4:17 am
the barbie movie. mike parry it's the film everyone's talking about. >> it's inspired me tonight. indeed. >> two out of three are in pink tonight. we'll find out why mike isn't shortly. how about this from mark, buys a new from martin mark, who buys a new battery for an eight year old iphone? it and buy iphone? an they bin it and buy new same will apply to electric cars 15 grand for a new battery for scratched bodywork for a scratched and bodywork deteriorated car. who's going to pay deteriorated car. who's going to pay another waste problem pay it another waste problem down the line says mark an i'll get to more of your emails shortly let's just have a quick look at this. dear mark, i bet you won't read this out. you just said to sue cook, we need to reduce emissions. really see, c02 to reduce emissions. really see, co2 is a trace gas that makes up just 0.04% of our atmosphere. the of that just 3% is considered to be man made . that considered to be man made. that means we're expected to believe that. means we're expected to believe that . just 0.0012% of c02 means we're expected to believe that . just 0.0012% of co2 in our that. just 0.0012% of co2 in our atmosphere is changing the climate. how much smaller do you want co2 to be? it is absurd nonsense , says steve. steve, nonsense, says steve. steve, thank you for your email. look,
4:18 am
it's all about opinions . you're it's all about opinions. you're entitled to yours. the majority of climate experts around the world do believe the planet is heating up and that we've got to get those emissions down. but look, it is all about opinions. keep those coming. market gbnews.com. for gbnews.com. one thing is for sure, always debate that sure, we will always debate that issue show an open issue on this show in an open and way. and don't forget and fair way. and don't forget mark tonight's new mark dolan, tonight's brand new solution for the planet and that is smart net zero or smart zero for sure. what is smart zero? well, we get those emissions down, but we do it with the economy at the heart of it. evidence based science and the will of the people. smart zero, you heard it here first. now, speaking of the environment, the expansion of the ultra low emission zone ulez across london can go ahead after the high court ruled it lawful earlier today. five conservative led councils had challenged the labour mayor of london's plans to charge older, more polluting vehicles £12.50 a day from the 29th of august. mayor of london sadiq khan, says it's good news
4:19 am
as it means we can proceed with cleaning up the air in outer london. but what do we think about this? let me tell you, it's important for everyone in the country because it's likely that schemes will go that these ulez schemes will go to manchester glasgow and to manchester and glasgow and birmingham and cardiff and beyond. it's looking to be a uk rollout in time. let's get reaction now from journalist and radio legend mike perry , radio legend mike perry, comedian and writer sevilla akashi and fashion journalist and political commentator lizzie zita . mike, you've got to be in zita. mike, you've got to be in your bonnet about this ulez it matters to my viewers outside of london. yes, because this is not going to be london exclusive, is it? >> it's not just london. it's london and the home counties. let's get that right now. i live down in stockbroker belt surrey. think of epsom racecourse. think of epsom downs and that's basically where the borderline is between greater london and surrey. so anybody who lives one side of the line but has a business on the other side of the line, like the chap who came
4:20 am
and fitted new carpets for me three weeks ago, he's going to have to get rid of his van and replace it with the new £30,000 van or pay £12.50 a day just to get to his showroom where his carpets are from his home. his mother is going to have to pay £12, 50 every time she drives her little car. her little old mini off the driveway onto the road to go to literally 1.2 miles to her daughter's house. it's pernicious. it's miles to her daughter's house. it's pernicious . it's outrageous it's pernicious. it's outrageous , in my view. and it's my view only it's a moneymaking scam to help sadiq khan shore up the finances of the authority he runs as mayor of london. but worse than that , it is a worse than that, it is a politically dogmatic action to drive motorists and cars off the road because actually eventually
4:21 am
be they'd like us all to go back to the horse and cart. what do you think, sevilla? >> is this a conspiracy against drivers? >> i love horse and carts, actually. i'd love to have that. and can i just say, mike, you're not the only one that lives in surrey. i live in surrey. >> to show off about surrey left out, but the reason can i just say you live in stockbroker belt though course live the though of course i live in the stockbroker belt. working stockbroker belt. she's working on judge me. >> judge me. >> judge me. >> but yes, i think she lives in the shop. worker love. >> love. i live a posh >> i love. i live in a posh part. no, i pay 20 about £28 in in a travelcard from surrey in the stockbroker belt to go into london. so when i looked at this and thought £12.50, i kind of am on the fence a little bit on this because i think it's not so terrible. i do think we've got too many cars. i do think pollution does need to be resolved. do is it at the cost of, you know, you know, our feeling like when it hits feeling about like when it hits like most vulnerable people like the most vulnerable people and case, the working and in this case, the working classes who are, know,
4:22 am
classes who are, you know, going to really struggling with to be really struggling with that, going to be that, they're not going to be giving get new car so giving money to get a new car so that they can drive in. but then it make me think, well, why it does make me think, well, why are why aren't we using more pubhc public transport? >> the pollution in >> where is the pollution in stockbroker surrey green stockbroker belt surrey green fields, huge trees, of fields, huge oak trees, lots of greenery, lots leaves. there greenery, lots of leaves. there is pollution. there no is no pollution. there is no pollution in stockbroker belt surrey, borders great for surrey, which borders great for london, no pollution. but this this is into london. >> there's pollution. >> there's pollution. >> this is about this is about the whole of the uk. >> i raised it, >> that's why i raised it, because i don't care about londoners, my londoners, because most of my viewers are well viewers and listeners are well north the m25. but this sort north of the m25. but this sort of scheme is going to be trialled out across trialled and rolled out across the country. london is like the guinea how do you think my guinea pig. how do you think my viewers listeners are going viewers and listeners are going to about to feel about that? >> they probably won't >> well, they probably won't like my view and like it, but i have my view and my is i was speaking my view is this i was speaking to very eminent nutritionist to a very eminent nutritionist and is a cancer specialist. and who is a cancer specialist. his name is dr. alan stewart . and who is a cancer specialist. his name is dr. alan stewart. he said the main causes of cancer in women are too much alcohol, obesity , lack of exercise and
4:23 am
obesity, lack of exercise and pollution. he said to me that is the latest statistics in particular. if you live within the m25 and when i go past these cars and they absolutely stink, i'm sorry , get them off the i'm sorry, get them off the road. but on the other hand, i have compassion. my husband used to be a plumber. i have compassion for a lot of these. why don't we buy these cars off them or give them some kind of cash compensation? there's not that many of them. we should be saying, okay, you've got a polluting car , we will give you polluting car, we will give you x amount of pounds towards this car. there's going to be a certain amount of that. >> but it's a minimal amount. >> but it's a minimal amount. >> it should be upped, then it should be an amount of money. it should be an amount of money. it should be an amount of money. it should be up. but listen, there are also other whereas this money come from i don't money going to come from i don't know. not my to sort know. that's not my job to sort out money. my job to have out the money. my job is to have the and it's easy for me the opinion and it's easy for me to opinion, but join the to say the opinion, but join the club just listen to this. that one, the it is projected that we will avoid 1 million pollution related admission to hospital by
4:24 am
the year 20. >> okay. well, listen, let me tell you that me and mike parry is raging . is raging. >> i've never seen him so angry. he's not prone to temper. but this story is going to come up. there you go. look at that pork. he says no to you. lex we are going to return to this at 1030 because it is something that is going to be hitting all of our big unless there is a big cities unless there is a national conversation about it. lots to get through, including the papers pundit the papers with full pundit reaction. here's your reaction. but first, here's your weather . weather. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers is proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. of weather on. gb news. >> hello there. i'm jonathan vautrey here with your latest gb news weather forecast provided by the met office . hope you're by the met office. hope you're able to enjoy some of the sunniest spells did see sunniest spells we did see around but into the around today, but into the weekend there is the increasing chance that some showers. chance that we see some showers. and is all. thanks to this and that is all. thanks to this area pressure that is area of low pressure that is pushing its way from the pushing its way in from the north—west. isobars north—west. those isobars squeezing together. so we'll
