shake up of alcohol taxes in a century. >> i announced them as chancellor and today they're being delivered . the centrepiece being delivered. the centrepiece of those reforms is backing british pubs. now that we've left the eu, we can ensure that the tax you pay for beer on draft at pubs is lower less than the tax you pay for beer at the supermarkets. but we're also radically simplifying the system so that the lower the alcohol in a drink, the less tax you pay and that means price cuts on a range of popular drinks. >> the home office has delayed moving asylum seekers to the biggest stockholm barge in dorset over fire safety concerns. that's despite previously saying that 50 migrants would move to their new accommodation in portland today . further inspections are now taking place to ensure that it fully complies with regulations . once up and running, the facility will host around 500 men. former immigration security advisor henry bolton told us proper evacuation plans are vital . vital. >> well, what's quite incredible

about this is , is the about this is, is the demonstration that the home office has not done its planning and preparation correctly or thoroughly . you know, the thoroughly. you know, the problem here is one of the fire inspections and the signing of the accommodation as suitably fireproof and, you know, to be fair in a sense, the probability of a fire on there, the fire control on board and the bibby stockholm is adequate. what the problem is, is evacuation . problem is, is evacuation. should there be a fire? >> well, meanwhile , more than >> well, meanwhile, more than 3000 people crossed the channel in 63 small boats last month with an average of 52 migrants per boat. that's the highest number on record so far this yeah number on record so far this year. more than 14,000 migrants have made that dangerous crossing . a british man who crossing. a british man who killed his seriously ill wife has visited her grave for the first time since being released

ferries or mountainous areas rivers, lakes , more rural areas, rivers, lakes, more rural areas, developing nations . drones are developing nations. drones are perfect for that because they don't rely on ground infrastructure, which is very, very difficult and expensive to implement. so we can access islands very quickly . we can hop islands very quickly. we can hop between the two islands and we can do it in a way where actually our wind tolerance is a little bit better than the ferries. so hopefully that improves for the improves service levels for the islanders sport and in islanders and sport and in adelaide the lionesses have beaten china six one in their final group game to progress to the last 16 of the women's world cup. >> they've made history as the first side to score in 16 consecutive matches . lauren consecutive matches. lauren james had a hand in five of the six goals, scoring two and assisting in three. sarina wiegman , whose side will now wiegman, whose side will now face nigeria in brisbane on monday . this is gb news across monday. this is gb news across the uk on tv in your car on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. now let's get back to .

second. now get your emails coming in afterwards. gb views. gb news news.com. this this made me feel physically sick when i saw it. young singer mums are being forced into accommodation with rising damp and developing all kinds of conditions over it. but people who have entered this country illegally are living in stuff that well, frankly, it's better than a five star hotel. our home is security editor mark white has had a good look at what's been going on in chelmsford in essex, where, like, i've said, you're about to see something that i dare say will make you very angry indeed. >> it's billed as one of chelmsford's most sought after residential is a residential complexes is a multi—million pound conversion of an old office block into luxury apartments . the marketing luxury apartments. the marketing photographs show just how comfortable these flats are. but for now , at least, none of the for now, at least, none of the 98 units here are for local use turned over. instead to the home office to house asylum seekers.

dozens of migrants have already moved in the refurbishment work on the remaining apartment units is almost complete . is almost complete. >> the mode was all up there. all around, down the floors, along all the pipework and across the ceiling and just running down the walls. it was absolutely disgusting . absolutely disgusting. >> tasha burgess moved into this damp and mould infested property in chelmsford five years ago . in chelmsford five years ago. only last year was the family finally moved out while those problems were fixed, but not before she and her children developed chronic respiratory ailments . ailments. >> it's very frustrating that that people can come illegally and get the accommodation when you've got people that are homeless. not by fault , that homeless. not by fault, that need accommodation as well . and need accommodation as well. and a lot of families that are not in suitable accommodation size ehhen in suitable accommodation size either, and it's squashed in flats and stuff, waiting on lists for months and months or years even . years even. >> the local council says it has only limited grounds for a legal

challenge against the home office and does not intend to take court action. local campaign groups say the housing of asylum seekers in luxury apartments is grossly unfair when more than 400 chelmsford families are in temporary accommodation, many of those properties in sub standard condition, they are illegally here and yet they are living in absolute luxury. >> and i think that's what's frustrating and annoying. so many people is that they're getting everything and people living in some of these places that we see last year during the damp and mould, you wouldn't have in it because it have put a dog in it because it was disgusting. >> the stockholm >> with the bibby stockholm accommodation barge receiving its asylum seekers and its first asylum seekers and more arriving at the former wethersfield airbase in essex , wethersfield airbase in essex, the government says it's committed to moving away from expensive hotels, but this luxury apartment complex surely cannot be with the home secretary meant by a move to

more basic accommodation for asylum seekers . mark white gb asylum seekers. mark white gb news in chelmsford . you wouldn't news in chelmsford. you wouldn't put a dog in it. >> that was one of the key lines out of that. and it's true you wouldn't because the dog would get sick and die. but apparently it's good enough for a young british with young british mum with her young child. what? one of child. but you know what? one of the biggest disgraces about all of for was was that the of that for me was was that the local council gone, oh, local council has gone, oh, gosh, we've got gosh, you know, we've got limited appeal. limited grounds for appeal. we've got no plans to appeal it. i mean, do understand that i mean, they do understand that local people vote them , local people vote for them, don't they? lib dem council, by the apparently local people the way, apparently local people vote are they vote for them. what are they doing? are they counting on the asylum votes the next asylum seeker votes at the next election something? election or something? i just cannot around that. cannot get my hands around that. who up for british who is standing up for british people their own elected people if their own elected representatives our representatives won't do it? our home editor mark white, home security editor mark white, who got that story for us, joins me in studio now. in me in the studio now. and in fact, a of minutes, fact, in a couple of minutes, he's going to be revealing something well. something else for you as well. >> that made me >> but mark, that made me incredibly angry, looking at that.

>> i mean, we are now over prioritising people who've come to illegally to this country illegally over people who are in desperate need already here. >> there's clear >> yeah, i mean, there's a clear ineqtu >> yeah, i mean, there's a clear inequity where you have inequity here where you have people that crossed over people that have crossed over into illegally that are into the uk illegally that are being in very comfortable being housed in very comfortable apartments like this . and people apartments like this. and people like tasha burgess, who, as i say, for years before she was moved out of a flat, that we showed the pictures of were just infested with mould and damp . infested with mould and damp. and the whole family now have got these chronic chest conditions that they say they will have for the rest of their lives. now, because of the mould and the other damp and everything that really played on them. and it's 400 plus families were told in the chelmsford area that are in temporary accommodation and a good number of these are in what you would deem as substandard accommodation and they want to be moved out to the likes of the

apartment block that we were featuring there with 98, one, two and three bedroom apartments available . available. >> you no, indeed. and i dare say that there will be many people watching this show now for whom those luxury apartments that we were showing you earlier on. of course not these ones. these are the ones that the brits live in. look at that. yes, there you you you can yes, there you go. you you can mr and mrs. jones, you can live in one where the roof's about to cave in the shower doesn't cave in and the shower doesn't work everything smells work and everything smells of raw loads of people raw sewage. but loads of people will watching this and will be watching this now and seeing the accommodate. the illegal immigrants getting seeing the accommodate. the illefree,�*nmigrants getting seeing the accommodate. the illefree, thinking:s getting seeing the accommodate. the illefree, thinking i getting seeing the accommodate. the illefree, thinking i don'tetting seeing the accommodate. the illefree, thinking i don't liveg for free, thinking i don't live in anything this and i've in anything this nice, and i've paid taxes in this paid my taxes in this country for however many years. i've paid dues . for however many years. i've paid dues. i've no paid my dues. i've got no criminal record. i've done everything by the book and it just does seem fair. but the just does not seem fair. but the home office, you said, home office, like you said, there was saying that were there was saying that they were going try and cut down on going to try and cut down on costs because this surely isn't what in mind. what they had in mind. >> there's no doubt it is >> well, there's no doubt it is stoking intense anger throughout the why rishi the country, which is why rishi sunak and suella braverman, the

home secretary say they are very committed to moving away from the model of people being put in expensive hotels and in this case, an expensive luxury apartment block and trying to get them onto the bbc stockholm barge into the wethersfield air base or the scampton air base. indeed into marquees in the air bases , as well as something that bases, as well as something that is more basic but still , you is more basic but still, you know, safe and clean, but will act in itself as a deterrent . act in itself as a deterrent. >> they should have done that from the start. we should have gone for tent cities and marquee cities the it's cities from the start. it's cheapen cities from the start. it's cheaper, it's more space effective . it doesn't impact the effective. it doesn't impact the local population as much . it is local population as much. it is more of a deterrent and as well, for of human rights for all of these human rights charities say, oh, it's charities who say, oh, it's inhumane to put them these inhumane to put them in these tents. as well know, mark, tents. as you well know, mark, they these same in they use these same tents in other the world, the other parts of the world, the same charities use they're same charities use them. they're absolutely they absolutely fine. but what they are a luxurious three are not is a luxurious three bedroom duplex or whatever you'd call somewhere in

call it there somewhere in chelmsford. but mark, you have something for us don't something else for us now, don't you? of the reasons why you? and one of the reasons why we start need more tent we might start to need more tent cities because what you're cities is because what you're about tell the nation. yes about to tell the nation. yes >> mean, the whole row over >> i mean, the whole row over where all of these asylum where to put all of these asylum seekers is just born off the inability of rishi sunak and his government to stop the boats as he promised . and they are coming he promised. and they are coming in ever increasing numbers. last month we saw a worrying trend to the boats that were coming across packed , adding even more across packed, adding even more people on board. an average of 52 people per boat. we can show you some pictures now from social media. you can see there , they're packed, sitting on both sides of the boat. but look in the middle. that's sort of fidged in the middle. that's sort of ridged area in the middle is a reinforced area of the boat before the middle of the boat, the floor was plywood , wood. and the floor was plywood, wood. and it was it could in certain conditions break apart. and we had to very significant

tragedies out in the english channel. so the people smugglers have upped the specifications as they are sturdier and as a consequence, they're putting more people on board these boats , including twice last month, the women and children there , the women and children there, there's some women and children and vast majority, of course, are young males , 85. but there's are young males, 85. but there's always the odd woman and child on board as well. and ensures from the people smugglers point of view that the rescue services respond very quickly be to people in distress . people in distress. >> so they're reinforcing these boats. so what we are seeing is boats. so what we are seeing is boats that are capable of bringing more people than previously. >> now, two boats were stopped by the french authorities last month with 74 people on board each. >> so you can see the way that it's going, patrick, more and more people are being put on these boats and when we get the flat calm months, the government

in a sense has been very lucky that we've had months of really quite difficult conditions in the channel with northern winds blowing that have churned up the waves there and made it quite impossible for a lot of these boats. but when we get that turn in the weather to much calmer conditions, these boats are going to come across in very significant numbers and it will take no time at for all the processing centres at manston and dover to be absolutely overloaded for the bbc, stockholm, for the air bases at scampton and at wethersfield to be overflowing with asylum seekers as well. no absolutely. >> the emails are coming in thick and fast as one would expect from those two big gb news exclusives that we've led the show with a luxury apartment block in chelmsford is going to be used for illegal immigrants whilst locals live in squalor and then also we are seeing

reinforced boats crossing the channel now able to carry more people . patrick how can it be people. patrick how can it be right that a d—day veteran can't get a house but illegal migrants get a house but illegal migrants get brand new apartments? so that's from arthur. there is a lot of this gb views at gb news dot com. keep them coming in. i will go to those very, very shortly. mark thank you very much. mark wight there. our home and security i just and security editor. now i just want you that in want to remind you that in a matter of moments i will bring you exclusive interview with you our exclusive interview with the minister, sunak. the prime minister, rishi sunak. he's about he's been talking about the migrant crisis , about time, i migrant crisis, about time, i think, isn't it, nigel farage is de—banking well . the de—banking scandal as well. the push for zero. great stuff , push for net zero. great stuff, by the way, on net zero coming out today that the labour party are essentially that they are saying essentially that they wouldn't actually reverse rishi sunak policy of drilling for new oil and gas in the north sea if they got into it's they got into power. it's a classic, isn't it? labour's hypocrisy being exposed loads of other topics as well. patrick christys on gb news. stay with us.

justchannel are getting. hows the channel are getting. how does feel from does it make you feel from a veteran's perspective ? well veteran's perspective? well patrick, as per usual, i'm going to start off by saying thank you very much to you and your awesome team, the best news channel there is around for inviting back on. inviting me back on. >> , i get infuriated, you >> um, i get infuriated, you know, every time these stories come these are things come up, but these are things that we've fighting that we've been fighting not just veterans community, just in the veterans community, but charity sector to but across the charity sector to try get our own our own try and get our own our own citizens house now, right now, today , and i'm rishi sunak today, and i'm sure rishi sunak will probably deny this, denies everything. there's over 1.2 million people on a waiting list to get housing in the uk that have paid their taxes and have had and still can't get had jobs and still can't get a house. we currently have the homelessness in the uk since december has risen by 35. now rishi sunak want wants the taxes to death, doesn't they? he wants , he said, about taxing people with second homes, which is a fair point. but he wants to. why though? because he's using every penny to pay for people that haven't added any value to our country our own citizens

country while our own citizens go now reason why go homeless. now the reason why we're fixing any of this, we're not fixing any of this, andifs we're not fixing any of this, and it's circle of and it's a sad circle of nonsense, them even the nonsense, but them even the homeless charity sector , where homeless charity sector, where do you think it's really relevant for them to solve homelessness and then and then put ceos and boards of directors that are on these different companies and charities unemployed? we have a lot going on. yes, i am annoyed about the complex and chelmsford. but you know what? i'm not surprised that we currently have serving military personnel, living in squalor that can't get their houses fixed because we are throwing everything at our visitors arriving on our shores . and do you know what what's the perfect what's the perfect advert placement now for people all over the french coast want to get on a boat? honestly they see the luxury luxury apartment now given to them. you now being given to them. you couldn't make it up. you know what people it's to what the people it's going to double. people going to double. people are going to see this apartment and this luxury apartment and they're to go, let's get they're going to go, let's get to the uk. they are very easy and find it disgusting. the housing minister, rachel, rachel mclean resign . this

mclean should resign. this government has done nothing but destroy our country. >> there are people in >> look, there are people in this country at the moment, young people, especially with the renting crisis, etcetera, who look at that who will look at that accommodation start to accommodation there and start to seriously consider. imagine seriously consider. i imagine going across, getting a boat coming back, claiming to be from some far flung corner of the world and desperately hoping they end in somewhere like they end up in somewhere like they end up in somewhere like they chelmsford. just they are in chelmsford. but just trevor can i ask you, you do a lot with the veterans community. what do you what kind of the stories do you hear about homeless veterans there? what kind of accommodation, what kind of situation just, i situation are they in? just, i think interesting comparison. >> well , it comparison. >> well, it was a couple of >> well, it was only a couple of years ago we had special years ago we had a special forces veteran called bob not mentioned going to him who was homeless, fought the homeless, who had fought in the iranian siege at the iranian embassy siege at the minute, are struggling. minute, veterans are struggling. >> they're struggling. and right now, are off who have now, those that are off who have been discharged with mental health, patrick, are now getting their personal independent payment, they're now payment, their pip. they're now being questioned on that. and a lot of them can't deal with it. no, one thing like

no, there's one thing i'd like to before you finish, and to do before you finish, and thatis to do before you finish, and that is our prime minister and our government keep giving incentives to incentives out for landlords to take on refugees, migrants and asylum seekers. but currently they're not giving any landlords incentives to take on homeless veterans. now the prime minister wants to tax and heavily tax those with second homes, which are quite well off. why doesn't he give those that have second homes rich of our country, homes the rich of our country, incentives to take in veterans to look after their property and get on the property ladder? get them on the property ladder? because we don't because at the minute we don't see incentives for our own see any incentives for our own citizens, we're many citizens, but we're seeing many incentives foreign incentives for our foreign visitors. patrick you're absolutely spot on. >> might even go one step >> i might even go one step further start calling for further and start calling for a law that any local council has to have. housed first to have. brits housed first before they are allowed to accept anybody else. but trevor , thank you very, very much. it's trevor coult there of course, a veteran with a very, very distinguished career in the military. afghanistan military. iraq, afghanistan military. iraq, afghanistan military his now military cross to his name now doing can help doing everything he can to help the homeless community the homeless veteran community look, know a lot this look, we know a lot about this barge, the bibby barge, don't we? the bibby

stockholm well, the stockholm as well. well, the first migrants due first group of migrants were due to that barge off the to move on to that barge off the dorset coast today. but it has now been delayed because of the bibby stockholm has not yet received full approval the received full approval from the local service . we had local fire service. we had assumed, i had assumed anyway , assumed, i had assumed anyway, that kind of rush assumed, i had assumed anyway, thatfire kind of rush assumed, i had assumed anyway, that fire safety kind of rush assumed, i had assumed anyway, that fire safety review of rush assumed, i had assumed anyway, that fire safety review through this fire safety review through last still last night, but they still haven't. so unfortunately, the barge remains empty. serious safety concerns have been raised. i'm going whizz us raised. i'm going to whizz us over now to our south west of england. reporter it's jeff moody who joins us live from portland with the very latest info at the epicentre. jeff, take it away . take it away. >> hello. patrick. well yes, as you say, we were all geared up for them arriving today. we were told that around 25 would initially come this morning. there was a welcome party planned . they were they had planned. they were they had welcome packs. they were going to receive, including maps of the and a few other treats the area and a few other treats didn't happen. the country's press are to here no sign. we know that these issues with the fire safety aren't as serious as

we first thought because we know that they are resolvable. we know that there have been issues with the size of the corridors that they are saying are too small, given that there is going to be two, three, sometimes more per berth. we know there are not enough fire exits, not enough smoke detectors. but what we do know is that they've been working down there all day. and those issues are being addressed and they are being resolved because we're hearing from the home office that they will be here later on this week, possibly as early as tomorrow. well the community, as you know, patrick, has been talking to gb news in the last few weeks and months, pretty endlessly . alex months, pretty endlessly. alex bailey, who's from no to the barge campaign . i do feel i know barge campaign. i do feel i know you particularly well. we've spoken an awful lot about this subject. how are you feeling now that it it's finally happening ? that it it's finally happening? >> so in regards just to the fire safety, i really want to make a point. we don't have the experience of that. and looking

at wiltshire and dorset fire for that. but this again is a cacophony of failures from the private port and the home office and in regard to the consultation to that is a worry. but isn't this jeff ? you know, but isn't this jeff? you know, i'm going to say it a fawlty towers on sea , a cacophony of towers on sea, a cacophony of failure and a fawlty towers on the sea. >> that's correct. okay. well, that's alex's view. certainly it's shared by many here. we hear so many different opinions when we come down here. we have here so many people that don't want the barge for various different reasons is because of the local services that are stretched beyond all recognition down here at the moment. people struggling to get a gp, people struggling to get a gp, people struggling to get a gp, people struggling to get a dentist and heanng struggling to get a dentist and hearing of all sorts of services that are being provided for them on the barge and thinking that's deeply unfair. and then we also have people that are very worried about their community because there's a lot of fear involved in this as well . fear

involved in this as well. fear that could be completely unfounded . so it's certainly unfounded. so it's certainly divided the community in many different ways. but we will be here for the next few days as this story really begins to take shape. and they do finally arrive here on portland . back to you. >> jeff, thank you very, very much, as ever. jeff moody there reporting from the scene. it's almost inevitable that that barge will start to take its first occupants in the next day or two. i am reading all or two. look, i am reading all your emails coming in that your emails coming in about that situation in chelmsford. i will your emails coming in about that sit|to ion in chelmsford. i will your emails coming in about that sit|to those chelmsford. i will your emails coming in about that sit|to those againisford. i will your emails coming in about that sit|to those again shortly will your emails coming in about that sit|to those again shortly who go to those again shortly who are for time now, are a bit pressed for time now, though, because in just a couple of ticks, fingers crossed we will big exclusive will have this big exclusive interview the prime interview with the prime minister sunak. right minister rishi sunak. but right now, latest headlines now, it's your latest headlines with addison . with ray addison. >> thanks, patrick. 3:32. our top story this hour, rishi sunak has been heckled by a publican after announcing an overhaul of alcohol duty. >> prime minister. >> prime minister. >> oh, the irony that you're raising alcohol duty today as you're pulling a pint.

hundreds of vulnerable families have substandard and temporary accommodation. >> do you understand the frustration of people who've been on council lists for years trying to get accommodation when they see migrants housed in luxury apartment ? luxury apartment? >> s yeah, i think what's going on currently is completely wrong. we've got a situation which is unfair. british taxpayers are forking out £6 million a day to house illegal migrants in hotels and other accommodation. that's clearly wrong . it's clearly unfair. and wrong. it's clearly unfair. and that's why i want to put an end to it. now, in the short term, we're finding alternative sites like barges we're like the barges that we're bringing in, which are new ways like the barges that we're brideal; in, which are new ways like the barges that we're brideal with which are new ways like the barges that we're brideal with thish are new ways like the barges that we're brideal with this problem, ways like the barges that we're brideal with this problem, which to deal with this problem, which no has done but i've no one else has done but i've done. fundamentally, we done. but fundamentally, if we want to stop this, we've got to stop people coming here in the first that's why first place. and that's why stopping boats of my stopping the boats is one of my five priorities. that's why we've toughest law we've passed the toughest law that ever that any government has ever passed, us do that. >> the eu has delayed its ban on new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to 2035, in the face of the cost of living crisis, in the face of technical realities,

you're keeping that ban here in the uk at 2030, despite the cost of evs . of evs. >> why should british motorists suffer more than their eu counterparts ? counterparts? >> it's that's been the government's policy for a long penod government's policy for a long period of time. it remains a government's policy. but my overall approach to all these questions is, of course i'm committed to net zero, but we've got that in got to do that in a proportionate and pragmatic way that unnecessarily add that doesn't unnecessarily add burdens or costs to families lives. and i think we saw a good example of the wrong approach recently when uxbridge by—election you've got the labour party, keir starmer and sadiq khan pushing ahead with ulez . what does that do? just ulez. what does that do? just puts £12.50 on an ordinary family's bill whenever they want to drop off their at school to drop off their kids at school or football practise or go to the supermarket for weekly the supermarket for their weekly shop and visit shop or indeed go and visit their gp. don't think that's their gp. i don't think that's wrong. that's the right wrong. that's not the right approach. that's our approach. that's not our approach. that's not our approach to solve this problem. >> nigel farage was right, wasn't he? >> he was debunked coots for >> he was debunked by coots for political reasons, which you said despatch was wrong.

>> we've already seen various executives from coots and natwest resign should natwest chair howard davis now be considering his position on. >> so i think it's good that nigel farage and coots are in dialogue resolving the issue there. but nigel farage also spoke about the broader issue of this impacting other people and that's my primary concern because ultimately this isn't about any one individual. this is about values, values that are important to me and important to our country values. howard, hang on. important our country values. howard, hang on. than important our country values. howard, hang on. than the important our country values. howard, hang on. than the individuals to rather than the individuals to focus that are at focus on the values that are at stake, of freedom stake, values of freedom of expression and privacy . i expression and privacy. i believe in those values very strongly. need be able strongly. people need to be able to lawfully held views that to have lawfully held views that we not with , but we might not agree with, but they shouldn't be denied financial services because of them, they're to them, and they're entitled to their affairs to be their financial affairs to be kept . and i think those kept private. and i think those values fundamental who values are fundamental to who we are a country. they're are as a country. they're fundamental that's fundamental to me. and that's why i said what i said. >> almost a quarter of a million gb and listeners, gb news viewers and listeners, prime have signed our prime minister, have signed our don't petition. don't kill cash petition. >> of people , particularly >> a lot of people, particularly the old and the vulnerable, are

worried they cash in worried they can't use cash in lots places , particularly the lots of places, particularly the 2 million or so who haven't got bank so can't get bank accounts. so can't get debit share their debit cards, do you share their concerns we mustn't kill cash? >> yes, i represent a rural area with people who are also concerned about this particular issue. and that's why, as chancellor, i started the process and recently we've concluded it where we have legislated in law for access to cash regulations which will allow the government to ensure that particularly in rural communities, that people do have access to cash because we accept that it access to cash because we accept thatitis access to cash because we accept that it is important to people. obviously many people are transitioning using either obviously many people are trans phones using either obviously many people are trans phones or using either obviously many people are trans phones or onlineaither obviously many people are trans phones or online to 1er obviously many people are trans phones or online to do their phones or online to do their phones or online to do their banking, but whilst that transition happens, people still need to have access to cash and that's why passed new laws that's why we've passed new laws that's why we've passed new laws that allow us to work with that will allow us to work with financial providers like banks, the and others to the post office and others to ensure people's access to these vital services. >> the uk economy stalled in >> as the uk economy stalled in may, prime minister 0% growth. >> are you certain we can avoid recession? >> well, everyone predicted a recession the beginning recession at the beginning of this after i became prime

this year after i became prime minister we've already minister and we've already averted actually . so averted that actually. so i think people should feel confident now confident about the future. now my number one economic priority is to bring inflation down. inflation is what's causing people the most hassle with the cost of living. it's eating into people's savings and ultimately threatens jobs and threatens people's jobs and livelihoods. it's right that our number economic is number one economic priority is to bring inflation down. that requires us make responsible requires us to make responsible decisions. i will do that and stick the course to bring stick to the course to bring inflation down for everybody. but we are getting on with growing as well. growing the economy as well. i recently was japan where recently was in japan where i came with billions came home with billions of pounds investment. similarly, came home with billions of pounci investment. similarly, came home with billions of pounci wentvestment. similarly, came home with billions of pounci went to ;tment. similarly, came home with billions of pounci went to theynt. similarly, came home with billions of pounci went to the us similarly, came home with billions of pounci went to the us and larly, came home with billions of pounci went to the us and just, when i went to the us and just the other week we had an announcement that tata are investing billions pounds in announcement that tata are inveaut0| billions pounds in announcement that tata are inveauto industry pounds in announcement that tata are inveauto industry to pounds in announcement that tata are inveauto industry to buildjs in announcement that tata are inveauto industry to build a in our auto industry to build a gigafactory one of gigafactory in the uk, one of the ever investments of the largest ever investments of that it's to create that type. it's going to create thousands and it should thousands of jobs and it should give people an enormous vote of confidence our future. confidence in our future. >> question. you >> final question. you are famously prime famously a teetotal prime minister, you've certainly minister, but you've certainly enjoyed at the enjoyed yourself here at the great beer festival. great british beer festival. >> what's your favourite pub? >> what's your favourite pub? >> i'm a chancellor, but >> well, i'm a chancellor, but we're and backing our

we're delivering and backing our great british pubs with our brexit guarantee cheaper brexit pubs guarantee cheaper beer in pubs, but at my beer duty in pubs, but at my favourite is probably favourite pub is probably i shouldn't have too many favourites, closer to home favourites, but closer to home in north yorkshire, the golden lion osmotherley absolutely lion in osmotherley absolutely fantastic. recommend fantastic. thoroughly recommend it. you're likely to find it. and if you're likely to find me that's the one that me at a pub, that's the one that you'll find me rishi sunak. you'll find me at rishi sunak. >> minister, thanks for >> prime minister, thanks for joining us on gb news. >> very nice see you. >> very nice to see you. >> did he misspeak there and say he teetotal chancellor and he was a teetotal chancellor and not the prime minister? he was a teetotal chancellor and not i he prime minister? he was a teetotal chancellor and noti mean,1e minister? he was a teetotal chancellor and noti mean, thatinister? he was a teetotal chancellor and noti mean, that might’ he was a teetotal chancellor and noti mean, that might explain >> i mean, that might explain a few to watch out, jeremy few things to watch out, jeremy hunt. go. joining hunt. but there we go. joining me now is our economics and business liam halligan, business editor liam halligan, who brought that fabulous exclusive liam, exclusive interview to us. liam, thank very much. i think he thank you very much. i think he might have misspoke in there. but anyway, look, you covered but anyway, so look, you covered a wide range stuff a whole wide range of stuff there, start, there, really, where to start, liam? the atmosphere at liam? i mean, the atmosphere at the place you did get heckled a bit, didn't he? the place you did get heckled a bit,hein't he? the place you did get heckled a bit,he did he? the place you did get heckled a bit,he did indeed, because is the >> he did indeed, because is the treasury and the number 10, they're keen to stress this brexit pint guarantee . the brexit pint guarantee. the treasury is saying that the duty paid on draught beer that's pulled from the pump in a pub

will be less than the duty that's due. >> if you buy beer from a supermarket, that's that's you know, that may be true , but you know, that may be true, but you don't know if the publicans are going to pass on those duty differences. and also the real big story here when it comes to alcohol duty, patrick, is that the freeze in alcohol duty that was in place for three years now, since before lockdown, that's unfrozen today. so from today, we've got a 10.1% increase in alcohol duty across the board. >> and i must say, you know , the >> and i must say, you know, the journalist in me senses that this brexit beer guarantee headune this brexit beer guarantee headline was a bit of an attempt by the treasury and number ten to divert us from that headline increase of 10.1% in alcohol duty . duty. >> now, indeed, i'm sure it absolutely was. he also spoke a bit about nigel farage's bank campaign there, and he wouldn't be drawn on whether or not that individual should resign. of course, you think he did press him a bit, but he was saying that it's about values . and of

that it's about values. and of course, night nigel's course, last night nigel's reveal that is reveal said that he is essentially taking legal action with coots. know a lot of with coots. and i know a lot of people it's the big story in a lot of people's lips right across the country what's lot of people's lips right acrossone country what's lot of people's lips right acrossone coumy' what's lot of people's lips right acrossone cou my finances.. lot of people's lips right acrossone cou my finances. can going on with my finances. can i get cancelled too? and he was talking about that . talking about that. >> well, i'm sure our colleague nigel farage was listening keenly to what the prime minister had to say to me at the beer festival earlier today . beer festival earlier today. >> and i think rishi sunak doubled down on his support for farage. having said that, coots were wrong, plain wrong. >> that was his direct quote at the dispatch box that was before we saw the resignation of the chief executive of coots , alison rose. >> he's since said to us here on gb news that he fundamentally believes in the values of privacy . he about banking believes in the values of privacy. he about banking and the fact that you should be able to get a bank account, whatever your political views. that's a really big statement from the prime minister. you know, just think, has spent prime minister. you know, just thirwhole has spent prime minister. you know, just thirwhole adult has spent prime minister. you know, just thirwhole adult life has spent prime minister. you know, just thirwhole adult life winding|t prime minister. you know, just thirwhole adult life winding up

his whole adult life winding up the tories and here we've got a tory prime minister who is going to be concerned about support for comes into for farage if he comes into frontline politics again. >> and he's telling us that he completely values . completely backs those values. >> but let's just go back, to patrick, that. what you said to me earlier about the heckling when interviewing rishi when i was interviewing rishi sunak balcony ahead in sunak from this balcony ahead in front of this beer festival , front of this beer festival, there was heckling. people were shouting , you don't know what shouting, you don't know what you're and when prime you're doing. and when the prime minister walkabout , minister went on walkabout, going the different going through the different stalls , he wasn't tasting any stalls, he wasn't tasting any beer of course, because he's teetotal, but to talking people, playing when he was playing pub games when he was pounng playing pub games when he was pouring his pint, was pouring his pint, he was actually publican actually heckled by a publican from wimbledon in south london. a publican who's concerned about the fact that fuel duty , alcohol the fact that fuel duty, alcohol duty is going up across the board from today. and that's not what we're focusing focusing on. and i'm pleased to say we can now bring you a discussion with that publican . he is called rudi that publican. he is called rudi kaiser . he's that publican. he is called rudi kaiser. he's here with me now. rudi, to great see you here on gb news. i know you're a you

follow the news very closely. why did you heckle rishi sunak when he appeared here at the great british beer festival ? great british beer festival? >> yeah, i think it's . >> yeah, i think it's. >> yeah, i think it's. >> it'sjust >> yeah, i think it's. >> it's just a tiredness of the smoke and mirrors. >> the narrative that the government puts out is absolutely ridiculous. and the people need to stand up to this nonsense . and that's why . nonsense. and that's why. >> tell us about what pubs are going through at the moment. you've got sky high electricity bills, you've got sky high food costs , you've business rates costs, you've got business rates to you've got corporation to pay, you've got corporation tax rate to pay at a higher 25% now. and now you've got a 10.1% increase on alcohol duty across the board. >> absolutely. so i work with one of the biggest brewing companies or the biggest pub companies or the biggest pub companies in the country. >> and in the last two weeks, we've been bulk buying alcohol from our suppliers just to pre—empt this increase from today. so that we can save on the increase in duty. the

customer doesn't see that. we are seeing our stores is absolutely full to the brim so we can save money in a month's time. >> we've just gone through a price review structure here and in a month's time, two months time, those increased costs because of the alcohol duty increase will be passed on to the customer. >> it kind of it strikes me that the prime minister in some senses has done you a disservice today. >> yes . yes. he is saying that >> yes. yes. he is saying that the treasury will guarantee that the treasury will guarantee that the duty on pulled beer, on draft beer from the cars from the cellar will be less than on supermarket beer . but when duty supermarket beer. but when duty is going up across the board anyway, the punters are going to turn up saying to you, hey, rudy, where's that cheaper pint that the prime minister was talking about on news? talking about on gp news? >> it's smoke mirrors . if talking about on gp news? >> looknoke mirrors. if talking about on gp news? >> look atke mirrors . if talking about on gp news? >> look at the mirrors . if talking about on gp news? >> look at the amount rs . if talking about on gp news? >> look at the amount of. if talking about on gp news? >> look at the amount of cask you look at the amount of cask ale as proportion across the ale as a proportion across the rest of the product lines within a pub, you may be looking at 2. so only 2% of our product line might stay the same price . it's

might stay the same price. it's not going to be reduced, it'll stay the same, whereas everything else will go up. it's absolute nonsense. >> so what's your, i guess your feelings are running high about what the prime minister said then, why you heckled then, and that's why you heckled him. don't you don't strike him. you don't you don't strike me as a particularly rude individual. we've been chatting for hour. i'm going for half an hour. i'm not going to i have felt really, to come on. i have felt really, really upset about it. >> i could easily have >> i could quite easily have thrown dog porter over >> i could quite easily have thr(white dog porter over >> i could quite easily have thr(white shirt, dog porter over >> i could quite easily have thr(white shirt, but| porter over >> i could quite easily have thr(white shirt, but i'm�*ter over >> i could quite easily have thr(white shirt, but i'm notover his white shirt, but i'm not going to do that. it's just i find it's a very disrespectful that he turns up to this great festival celebrating all things great british beer. to use this as a political tool. i think it's i think it's a downright disgusting rudi kaiser publican from wimbledon in south london, thanks a lot for being on gb news. >> although you have it, patrick and i must say, rudi is not standing alone here. i've been wandering around this beer festival . nice work. somebody's festival. nice work. somebody's got to do it . i've been talking got to do it. i've been talking to lots of punters . a lot of to lots of punters. a lot of people like gb news at this festival, i should say. but a

lot of people have said to me that they're also concerned that the treasury is trying to spin its way out of the fact that from alcohol duties going from today, alcohol duties going up from today, alcohol duties going ”p by from today, alcohol duties going up by 10.1. publicans don't up by 10.1. the publicans don't like it. and a lot of the knowledgeable punters here, they don't like it either. back to you. >> no, they don't. liam, look, thank very, very much thank you very, very much for bringing us all of that great chat with rudi as well. just while i've got liam, if while i've got you, liam, if that's all right, because i've got couple minutes, a got another couple of minutes, a little topic from the little bit off topic from the beer mention beer festival. you did mention to there about the to rishi sunak there about the issue going on in chelmsford that we've led with and he that we've led in with and he was well, look, it's was saying, well, look, it's completely unacceptable what's happening. but then it is his party it? which party doing it, isn't it? which is quite hard for people to square . square. >> i think what's happening in number ten at the moment is that number ten at the moment is that number 10 are realising that if they're to going have any chance of even competing in the next general election , probably in general election, probably in autumn 2024, then rishi sunak is going to have to get a lot tougher on certain issues, tougher on certain issues,

tougher on certain issues, tougher on net zero. that's why we just saw those 100 new licences being issued for new oil and gas drilling in the nonh oil and gas drilling in the north sea. tougher on small boats, tougher on illegal immigration and i actually thought his language was quite robust when he was saying that he's upset about it, too. he feels people's pain. he feels he understands why they're upset when , you know, essentially when, you know, essentially illegal immigrants, whether they're refugees or not, some of them may be refugees. we don't know. but they have entered the country in a disorderly way , if country in a disorderly way, if you like, obviously risking their lives in many cases. but when they end up in very good accommodation , even luxury accommodation, even luxury accommodation, even luxury accommodation in terms of what our colleague gb news home affairs editor mark white has discovered in chelmsford , he discovered in chelmsford, he understands why people are concerned. these are very much red wall issues. mark these are very much issues that impact people who might vote labour or might vote conservative. they're not people who might vote lib

dem. they're the ones that are going to be a more concerned about net zero issues between now and the next general election. rishi sunak is going to have to triangulate, you to have to triangulate, if you like, appealing like, veering between appealing to voters in some seats to lib dem voters in some seats and red wall traditional labour voters in other seats. but it seems to me, at least for now, he's aiming at the red wall. >> thank you very much, liam. great stuff as ever. liam halligan there. our economics and business editor rampaging through a beer festival, which of you love see, of course you love to see, right? a heck of right? i have got a heck of a lot coming your way. more on that exclusive from rishi sunak. we will be chatting to somebody who's being massively disadvantaged by this chelmsford asylum seeker, immigrant asylum seeker, illegal immigrant housing saga. if you've got an e—bike , well, watch out because e—bike, well, watch out because apparently battery in it apparently the battery in it might explode. might actually explode. you might actually explode. you might move out of might want to move it out of your now i'll be filling your house. now i'll be filling your house. now i'll be filling you in on all of that, and i promise you have some promise you i will have some stuff on chinese dancing bears, which will bring smile to your which will bring a smile to your face. christys on gb face. patrick christys on gb news, britain's news channel. >> outlook with boxt >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather

accommodation . is it time to accommodation. is it time to bnngin accommodation. is it time to bring in a law that means that we have to house brits first? get a load of this story , get a load of this story, though. yes, indeed . e—scooter though. yes, indeed. e—scooter and e—bike danger fire services are saying that there are six fire cars a day being caused because of the batteries associated to them just blowing up. so if you've got one of these things in your house right now , maybe move outside or if now, maybe move outside or if you don't like your neighbour next door in other news, we're going be talking about this going to be talking about this as well. farage is fighting for you. very latest on you. find out the very latest on the d . you. find out the very latest on the d. banking you. find out the very latest on the d . banking scandal. he's the d. banking scandal. he's blown the doors off the banking corporations, but he's not stopped yet. i will be telling you exactly what he's doing next to fight for you. and finally, we will be having a little chat about this as well. have you seen this? so this is costa coffees new advertising campaign. and it includes somebody here who has had a double mastectomy in order to try to change gender that they are advertising this stuff. okay. they are now facing calls

to boycott what, costa coffee . to boycott what, costa coffee. and i think i will indeed be boycotting costa coffee. stay tuned . vaiews@gbnews.com. tuned. vaiews@gbnews.com. a heck of a lot to get through this hour. so without any dither or delay it is your headlines with paul coyte . with paul coyte. >> thanks very much indeed patrick and good afternoon to you. well, as you've been heanng you. well, as you've been hearing today, rishi sunak has been heckled by a public an after announcing an overhaul of alcohol duty . take a listen. alcohol duty. take a listen. >> prime minister. oh, the irony that you're raising alcohol duty today as you're pulling a pint. >> well, the prime minister was touring a london beer festival after claiming the changes would benefit thousands of businesses as the british beer and pub association , though, warns it association, though, warns it will cost the industry an extra

£225 million in tax . the new £225 million in tax. the new system focuses on taxing alcoholic drinks on their strength with duty on wine and vodka, for example , to rise. vodka, for example, to rise. rishi sunak says the new system is fairer . is fairer. >> and today marks the biggest shake up of alcohol taxes in a century. i announced them as chancellor and today they're being levied the centrepiece of those reforms is backing british paths. now that we've left the eu , we can ensure that the tax eu, we can ensure that the tax you eu, we can ensure that the tax you pay eu, we can ensure that the tax you pay for beer on draft at pubsis you pay for beer on draft at pubs is lower, less than the tax you pubs is lower, less than the tax you pay pubs is lower, less than the tax you pay for beer at the supermarkets. but we're also radically simplifying the system so that the lower the alcohol in a drink, the less tax you pay. >> and that means price cuts on a range of popular drinks. >> the home office has had to delay moving asylum seekers into the bibby stockholm barge moored off portland in dorset over fire safety concerns. that's despite previously saying 50 migrants would be moving into their new

accommodation today . further accommodation today. further inspections are now taking place to make sure the vessel fully complies with regulations and once up and running it will host around 500 men for immigration . around 500 men for immigration. security advisor henry bolton told gb news proper evacuees action plans are vital . action plans are vital. >> what's quite incredible about this is that the demonstration that the home office has not done its planning and preparation correctly or thoroughly . you know, the thoroughly. you know, the problem here is one of the fire inspections and the signing off the accommodation as suitably fireproof. and you know, to be fair in a sense , the probability fair in a sense, the probability of a fire on there, the fire control on board the bibby stockholm is adequate. what the problem is , is evacuation should problem is, is evacuation should there be a fire. >> meanwhile , more than 3000 >> meanwhile, more than 3000 people crossed the english channelin people crossed the english channel in 63 small boats last month with an average of 52

migrants per boat. month with an average of 52 migrants per boat . that's the migrants per boat. that's the highest number on record . and so highest number on record. and so far this year, more than 14,000 migrants have made the dangerous crossing . now a british man who crossing. now a british man who ended the life of his seriously ill wife has visited her grave for the first time since being released from prison in cyprus. david hunter was sentenced to two years for the manslaughter of his wife after claiming she'd asked him to end her life at their home in paphos in cyprus in 2021. the couple's daughter said she believes her father wanted to say his goodbyes properly . climate activists have properly. climate activists have spray painted part of the scottish parliament red in protest against oil and gas rigs in the north sea. the group, if this is rigged, called the scottish government's silence on the prime minister's announcement for 100 new oil and gas licences yesterday deafening. police scotland says

officers are at the scene in house prices have fallen at their fastest annual rate for 14 years. nationwide says the average price dropped by 3.8% over the last 12 months. the average uk home now costs around . £260,000 as a drone delivery service has been launched in orkney , helping locals receive orkney, helping locals receive their mail more efficiently. a collaboration between royal mail and drone company skyports means the scheme will transport letters and parcels between the islands, hopefully with significantly improved delivery times . the service will times. the service will initially operate on a trial bafis initially operate on a trial basis for three months, but if successful , it could be successful, it could be established as a permanent service . as skyports ceo duncan service. as skyports ceo duncan walker told gb news why drones are the best solution for tackling delivery problems . tackling delivery problems. >> this service really works well where ground infrastructure is either poor or challenging. so that's islands where there's ferries or mountainous areas rivers, lakes, more rural areas,

developing nations . drones are developing nations. drones are perfect for that because they don't rely on ground infrastructure, which is very, very difficult and expensive to implement . so we access implement. so we can access islands very quickly. we can hop between the two islands and we can do it in a way where actually our wind tolerance is a little bit better than the ferries. so hopefully that improves the improves service levels for the islanders . islanders. >> lastly, football and in australia the lionesses have beaten china six one in their final group game to progress to the last 16 now of the women's world cup. they've made history as the first side to score in 16 consecutive matches . lauren consecutive matches. lauren james had a hand in five of the six goals in adelaide, scoring two and assisting three as sanna two and assisting three as sarina wiegman side will now face nigeria in brisbane on monday year, with gb news across the uk on tv. in your car, on digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. back now to .

back now to. patrick >> we've got a wide range of stories for you this hour, but i'm going in with this. illegal immigrants are being given posh flats to live it up, but young, single mums are left to rot in mould infested accommodation that you wouldn't house a dog in. welcome to britain in 2023. the cathedral city of chelmsford has around 400, mostly british families living in poor quality temporary accommodation with rising damp . actually some of it rising damp. actually some of it looks like it should be condemned . take a little look at condemned. take a little look at some of the pictures as well. a lady called tasha lived in here with her young son. both of them have now developed chronic respiratory conditions . it have now developed chronic respiratory conditions. it is no exaggeration to say that the accommodation offered to a british mum and her young child was so bad that it could have

killed them. staggering isn't it? now shall we just check in and see what accommodation illegal migrants are going to get for free? okay. yes. so. oh lovely stuff. look at that. it's better than a five star hotel, isn't it? a nice, a nice little kind of open plan kitchen living area. look at that. brand new bathroom. large, spacious rooms everywhere. of course, it's completely new. it's completely new. so they will be the first people in there. in fact, they haven't actually finished doing some of them up yet. so it will be properly new. but most brits couldn't afford to live there. most brits could not afford to live there. that will be nicer, no than where many people no doubt, than where many people watching show happen to watching this show happen to live at the moment . it's an live at the moment. it's an absolute disgrace. it's an abomination. tasha spoke to us and she said this. abomination. tasha spoke to us and she said this . i don't think and she said this. i don't think it's fair that they can come over illegally and get placed into apartments . we were just into apartments. we were just crying out for help to be placed

somewhere where my family would be able to live safely. you've got local people on lists waiting for months, even years , waiting for months, even years, for a decent level of accommodation . but you know accommodation. but you know what? i think the biggest scandal is nobody is fighting for british people , maybe us for british people, maybe us here at gb news, but that's about it. the local council all said he only had limited grounds for a legal challenge against the home office and did not intend to take court action. so the local council, which local people vote for, will not stand up for locals . what are they up for locals. what are they playing? are they relying on cornering the asylum seeker vote at the next election? they could at the next election? they could at least try to fight the home office on it, couldn't they ? office on it, couldn't they? there should be a law that makes it impossible for people who have come to britain illegally to be housed before every single brit in the local area has good quality housing. they should put that to a public vote and watch as the result comes in way above

90% in favour. now i am a big fan of the phrase charity starts at home, but in this case charity apparently starts by putting illegal migrants in british homes. vaiews@gbnews.com. and the responses to this have been absolutely staggering. i'm just going to read one out now. i won't name you. it says myself and children, including and my two children, including one learning disability, one with a learning disability, have the social housing have been on the social housing list for six years and this lady has sent in evidence of that, which do have in front of me. which i do have in front of me. i've on the sofa for all i've slept on the sofa for all this time. we are now being evicted because our landlord has sold flat. can't afford sold the flat. we can't afford to privately. housing to rent privately. housing benefit £750 benefit is capped at £750 a month. we've been informed that will be moved a hotel outside will be moved to a hotel outside of the county that we live in. as all of the hotels are full, i am getting a heck of a lot of this in right now, right before my eyes. gb views at gb views

.com. it is a disgrace, but gb news economics and business editor liam halligan actually asked in the last few moments our prime minister rishi sunak about the investigation that gb news has done into the chelmsford accommodation. here's what he had to say. >> what's going on currently is completely wrong. we've got a situation which is unfair. british taxpayers are forking out £6 million a day to house illegal migrants in hotels and other accommodation. that's clearly wrong. it's clearly unfair. and that's why i want to put an end to it. now, in the short term, we're finding alternative sites like the barges that we're bringing in, which new to with which are new ways to deal with this problem, no one else this problem, which no one else has i've done. but has done. but i've done. but fundamentally, want to fundamentally, if we want to stop we've got stop stop this, we've got to stop people coming the first people coming here in the first place. and that's why stopping the boats is one of my five priorities. we've priorities. that's why we've passed law that any passed the toughest law that any government ever passed, government has ever passed, which do that. which will help us do that. >> well, that's what he had to say i'm going to cross say about it. i'm going to cross live chelmsford speak live now to chelmsford and speak to resident there, dave

to a local resident there, dave oldershaw. dave, thank you very much. great to have you on much. it's great to have you on the show. people getting the show. people are getting very about this. very angry about all of this. how you feel that in your how do you feel that in your local area, if you are a young single mum , maybe with a child single mum, maybe with a child with learning difficulties or something those lines, the something along those lines, the council or this country is happy for you to be housed in a substandard ended set of accommodation that you probably wouldn't put a dog in. but of course if you have just arrived across the channel then that luxury duplex is all yours, my friend . friend. >> yeah. i don't really think there are no words for this. >> i mean, you look at cash's case, tasha, come to the border and send and neighbourhood association ask us for help association and ask us for help because none of the councils are interested helping her. not because none of the councils are inteicouncil helping her. not because none of the councils are inteicouncil was ping her. not because none of the councils are inteicouncil was interestediot because none of the councils are inteicouncil was interested .yt because none of the councils are inteicouncil was interested . when one council was interested. when i say council, i mean housing association. and just to see this, knowing there's 400 families living in families out there living in temporary accommodation, 20 of them had to out of the them have had to move out of the area. and then you get this. this is just like incredible when we found out about this the other we are amazed that

other week, we are amazed that our biggest concern is why did the lib dems keep it under wraps and not tell anyone ? and not tell anyone? >> so you're saying that the local lib dems deliberately didn't tell anyone about about this? i mean, they're certainly not opposing it. it's fascinating, isn't it? because thatis fascinating, isn't it? because that is your local council, right? and so locals vote for that council and that council is of course supposed to represent locals. but you're saying that they hid this from the locals? >> that's what it >> well, that's what it certainly like, because >> well, that's what it cert home like, because >> well, that's what it cert home office like, because >> well, that's what it cert home office have)ecause >> well, that's what it cert home office have issuede statement. >> the lib dems have issued a statement. they both contradict each other. so someone's lying. i mean, we don't we as someone who actually pay their wages, have a right to know what's going on in our city centre. >> your overbearing sense >> what's your overbearing sense of injustice here? is it that local residents who need housing are being told that they can't get any? but of course, illegal immigrants can get what is way better, way better than a four star hotel brand new accommodation that they are still building ? or is it a fear

still building? or is it a fear maybe for locals safety? what is it , patrick i think one of the it, patrick i think one of the main issues is that last year when the damp and mould hit, it was horrific. >> people only reacted because this young lad that died in wolverhampton, but all of a sudden it become like a major, major issue which it should never have got to that stage but us try and get some of these us to try and get some of these families tasha into hotel families like tasha into a hotel for or days. for 2 or 3 days. >> £39 night of premium just >> £39 a night of premium just proved impossible, absolutely impossible. mean tasha's impossible. i mean tasha's house, she's one of the better ones, be honest with you. ones, to be honest with you. right. and it just really frustrated we group frustrated us that we as a group had to take this battle on because the council weren't interested. the other interested. now, the other annoying thing is the lib dems, when got elected just this when they got elected just this yean when they got elected just this year, they more year, stayed. did they need more transparency ? well, there's your transparency? well, there's your answer straight away. there's no transparency at all. they've tried to hide this . and yes, tried to hide this. and yes, obviously the safety concern comes into it because we know full well that someone has committed crime in there. and when he was arrested, he was

non—identifiable. so the police released without charge. is released him without charge. is that's to happen. released him without charge. is tha yeah. to happen. released him without charge. is tha yeah. so to happen. released him without charge. is tha yeah. so it's to happen. released him without charge. is tha yeah. so it's remarkable.�*|. released him without charge. is tha yeah. so it's remarkable. you >> yeah. so it's remarkable. you make really good point there make a really good point there about lib because they about the lib dems because they are the mercy of the are so at the mercy of the refugees. welcome brigade and that they don't want to annoy them so they can't stand up for them so they can't stand up for the vast majority of locals who would be opposed to this. a little bit later on in the show, i'm going to be talking about some staggering revelations about the about keir starmer and the labour supposedly, labour party. supposedly, they're not to going reverse new oil drilling the oil and gas drilling in the nonh oil and gas drilling in the north if get into power north sea if they get into power . of course, they couldn't possibly proposing this if possibly be proposing this if they were in power because they receive just stop receive money from just stop oil. there of the oil. two examples there of the tail the in british tail wagging the dog in british politics. but just returning to your local area and how local residents feel there , are you residents feel there, are you afraid made for the future of this country ? this country? >> we this this country's finished mate. i'm i'm as patriotic as they go . um, i patriotic as they go. um, i think it's finished . i honestly think it's finished. i honestly do. i mean, i feel for our

veterans. absolutely our veterans. absolutely our veterans who give up their lives for this country for what? can't even get a home and one point, patrick, i do want to make, i think this is really important. lib dem council this year done the civic centre at an overburdened budget over comes about 3 million overspend comes over 4 million. they've just done um tyndall square in chelmsford, which is basically just a vanity project. 4.4 million. they spent 8.4 million and they've got the audacity in the last couple of days to go on facebook crowing about it. surely that 8.4 million could have basically been bought. plenty more homes to have some of these people . of these people. >> yeah, you would have thought so. i mean or as well the inevitable which is going to happen now but it should have been happening from the start, which is just ginormous tent cities or military barracks. thatis cities or military barracks. that is a proper deterrent . it that is a proper deterrent. it saves space, it saves the taxpayers money. you don't end up completely insane up with this completely insane situation where you have a luxury and they are luxury. it's luxury and they are luxury. it's luxury accommodation now per

purpose built for quite well—to—do local residents. it would paying goodness knows would be paying goodness knows what live in there and then what to live in there and then they're dishing them out to people who've come here illegally. i really illegally. look, dave, i really appreciate you coming on. i thank you much for your thank you very much for your time. got before time. i've got to ask before i let you get going, actually, look, next? because you've look, what next? because you've said and this too all often said and this is too all often the doesn't want said and this is too all often th well, a couple of things. i mean, we did some independence this first time. this year for the first time. unfortunately people didn't come out was a low turnout . out to vote. was a low turnout. the way you're going to the only way you're going to change for local change this is to vote for local minded that actually care minded people that actually care , because the moment the lib , because at the moment the lib dems don't care, the tories don't care . i've just heard don't care. i've just heard sunak what he said. they're just hollow want to

hollow words. if you want to stop boats, stop the boats , stop the boats, stop the boats, turn them around, send them straight back. >> and know and you >> and you know what? and you know. know what, dave? know. and you know what, dave? what you what would happen guarantee you if he turned the boats back and it worked. if labour win the next general election, labour aren't reversing policy . aren't reversing that policy. they'll on and they'll do they'll crack on and they'll do the thing. same goes for the same thing. same goes for the same thing. same goes for the migration bill. same the illegal migration bill. same goes rwanda. if goes to flights for rwanda. if anyone implements that anyone implements anything that actually , no other actually works, no other political will come in and political party will come in and reverse it. but none of them at the minute have got the bottle. dave very much. dave dave thank you very much. dave oldershaw local oldershaw there, who is a local resident the chelmsford area. resident in the chelmsford area. look, exclusive for look, it's a big exclusive for us white, our home us that mark white, our home security brought it to security editor, brought it to us. i'm just going to read one email on on this. email before i move on on this. again, won't name you. i'm not again, i won't name you. i'm not easily this is easily shocked, but this is absolutely our absolutely disgusting. our country ours. i've worked country is not ours. i've worked all life i've never taken all my life and i've never taken all my life and i've never taken a from anyone. but i'm a penny from anyone. but i'm ashamed. they say that they've heard of a 99 year old veteran who's been out of their who's been kicked out of their home. throwing home. yet we are throwing everything to people who've just come channel i find come across the channel i find it that celebrities it shocking that celebrities like gary lineker are silent on

right . so this is what many right. so this is what many people believe is a bloke dressed as a bear at the hangzhou zoo in china and we can clearly see there that that is not moving like a normal bear at all, is it? no it's not. an eagle eyed viewers will be able to see some rather suspicious looking grooves on the bear's backside . yeah. that bear backside. yeah. that bear standing far too upright. it's definitely not a sun bear when you when you manage to walk in to work in the morning, very rarely does anyone tell you to put that bear costume on and go out there and perform. do you reckon this is how harry styles feels? you know, when he goes to work and he's playing a concert , harry, put that dress go work and he's playing a concert , hethere ut that dress go work and he's playing a concert , hethere andiat dress go work and he's playing a concert , hethere and sing ess go work and he's playing a concert , hethere and sing that go work and he's playing a concert , hethere and sing that song out there and sing that song anyway, here is a statistic that shocked me when i read this this morning. eight people have died since as a result of fires since 2020 as a result of fires caused by e—scooters and e—bikes . the fires are triggered by lithium ion batteries exploding.

one camp group says that an e—bike battery can release as much energy as six hand grenades . so if you've got an e—bike or an e—scooter in your house or in your flat or wherever you live at the moment, it might be worth having a little look at this and deciding whether or not it really is that good for the environment because your immediate environment immediate local environment essentially in essentially could well go up in flames. but important. flames. but this is important. i think it isn't just the impending risks the false of impending risks of the false of the equivalent of six grenades going in front room. going off in your front room. that's e—scooter and that's bad. e—scooter and e—bikes are terrible for another group of people as well . and i'm group of people as well. and i'm joined by sarah gayton, who is a development worker for the national federation for the blind . and this is an issue blind. and this is an issue i don't think gets spoken about enough. why do you care so passionately about e—scooters and e—bikes ? sarah well, and e—bikes? sarah well, basically the e—scooters are just like the creighton rat runs all across like town centres on pavements everywhere .

pavements everywhere. >> and this is terrifying for blind, visually impaired people. you know, they don't know where they're coming from. they're terrifying them. they're running them off the pavements, they're knocking into them and they're causing havoc. the legal ones have proven that they're not regulated properly. you know, there's quite a number of trials that are already shut down and they're just simply not safe. >> no . i mean, and these and >> no. i mean, and these and these are the ones that aren't exploding in your living room as well, to be fair. so we have people at the moment, blind people at the moment, blind people out there who are being knocked over and who are being scared to go outside because of these bikes. is that right? is that right ? that right? >> well, the e—scooters and the bikes, again, because the bikes are just running well, they're being ridden over pavements. they're being ridden over pedestrian crossings. they're they're being ridden over pedesthroughssings. they're they're being ridden over pedesthrough redgs. they're they're being ridden over pedesthrough red lights. y're they're being ridden over pedesthrough red lights. also, going through red lights. also, the way that the bus stops have formed now in active travel schemes, they they run the cycle lane in between the pavement and the bus stop. and they're just not stopping for people to get

on the even so people can't on the bus even so people can't get the buses. they're terrified to pavements. you've to walk on the pavements. you've got visually impaired disabled got a visually impaired disabled person in jail because you know , there's very tragic incident where she shouted at somebody that, you know, fell off the off the bike into the road and got killed. but this is because there's a build up of people continue riding at pedestrians and disabled pedestrians on bikes. e—scooters e—bikes, unicycle . unicycle. >> okay. sarah well , look, thank >> okay. sarah well, look, thank you very much. that's sarah gayton there. he's a development worker for the national federation for the blind. okay. a couple of massive issues there with e—bikes and e—scooters. one, apparently eight people have as a result of them have died as a result of them exploding. the fire brigade are going a week for going to six fires a week for the batteries, essentially combusting in people's rooms. but also when you do manage to get them out on the road and blind people are there, i would throw the elderly throw into the mix the elderly as by the way, because you as well, by the way, because you don't e—scooters don't hear the e—scooters coming, and then nipping

coming, do you? and then nipping in and out and you know, some poor odd years old poor lady who's 80 odd years old with a shopping in one hand, she can't just nip out the way of it. these things an absolute it. these things are an absolute menace. jeremy vine on menace. where's jeremy vine on this? that's what want to this? that's what i want to know. he's probably his know. he's probably riding his penny his wife's know. he's probably riding his penny anyway. his wife's know. he's probably riding his penny anyway. loadsis wife's know. he's probably riding his penny anyway. loads moree's know. he's probably riding his penny anyway. loads more still happy anyway. loads more still to now and 5:00. to come between now and 5:00. i will ask whether should stop will ask whether we should stop buying from costa buying our coffee from costa coffee very coffee after their very controversial image of a trans person with a mastectomy scar. this is the peak example of virtue signalling. it's terrible. it's disgraceful. and i'm fully in support of anyone who wants to boycott costa coffee now, though, are your headunes coffee now, though, are your headlines with polly . patrick? headlines with polly. patrick? >> thank you, will. the top story from the newsroom is that the prime minister has told gb news housing illegal migrants in hotels and flats is completely wrong . in an exclusive wrong. in an exclusive interview, rishi sunak said a short time ago that alternative lives such as the bibby stockholm barge, which is

currently moored off portland in dorset, are being sought as interim measures . the prime interim measures. the prime minister responded to concerns that luxury flats are being used for asylum seekers in chelmsley aad while locals are struggling in substandard homes. here's what he said. >> what's going on currently is completely wrong . we've got a completely wrong. we've got a situation which is unfair. british taxpayers are forking out £6 million a day to house illegal migrants in hotels and other accommodation. that's clearly wrong . it's clearly clearly wrong. it's clearly unfair. and that's why i want to put an end to it. >> well, the prime minister has also been busy today introducing what he's calling the biggest shake alcohol taxes in a shake up of alcohol taxes in a century . the move focuses on century. the move focuses on taxing alcoholic drinks on their strength with duty and wine on wine, rather, and vodka, for example , to rise. however, the example, to rise. however, the british beer and pub association warns it's going to cost the industry an extra £225 million industry an extra £225 million in tax. it's more on those stories by heading to our website. gbnews.com .

be the most. no, no wheelchair. unfortunately, would be the unfortunately, that would be the next round, won't it? anyway, but think the but some activists think the mural, which was created for pride last year, promotes the surgery , which involves the surgery, which involves the removal tissue to removal of breast tissue to generate a masculine chest contour. look, i'm joined now by the wonderful kelly j. keane, who is the founder of standing for women . kelly, thank you. for women. kelly, thank you. should we boycott costa coffee ? should we boycott costa coffee? yeah absolutely. >> let's make it the costa's bud light movement at a moment so that everybody associated costa now with the mutilation of usually young women by these double mastectomy knees or you know breast amputation or let's stop using euphemisms like top surgery you know there's surgeons on tiktok that call it yeet. the teat. there's all this euphemistic , but it's really euphemistic, but it's really serious surgery that carries often quite a lot of complications, including necrosis and all things that i

won't talk about at this time of day. but really, really quite horrific . horrific. >> no. and you think that it is a push to normalise, would you say , the kind of very drastic say, the kind of very drastic surgery that can go alongside people who feel as though that they may be born into the wrong body? my argument, i suppose, would be that is it helping to perpetuate a mental illness ? perpetuate a mental illness? >> well, i think it is. perpetuate a mental illness? >> well, i think it is . look, we >> well, i think it is. look, we don't i don't remember costa coffee putting up pictures of kids with loads of scarring all over their arms to promote self harm, like cutting or skeletal images of women to promote anorexia . so as far as i'm anorexia. so as far as i'm concerned, this is the same this is this is opting out of womanhood, which actually many of these young women find to their cost that you really, really can't do that. additionally costa in the last few years has come into the news for a different sort of war on breasts. and that's it's telling

a woman in one shop to cover up when she was breastfeeding asking another to leave in a different costa because she was breastfeeding her child before she'd actually purchased her coffee. and then another woman being told to go and use the toilet instead of breastfeeding. actually in the cafe. so they've they've for a long time , not they've for a long time, not like breasts very much. so i guess this is the final and logical conclusion of their activism against women's breasts i >> -- >> i'm just going to raise another point here and it's come through to me in an email. again, i won't name you, but actually it moved me quite a lot. this email where they say i had to have a mastectomy a few years ago because of breast cancer. years ago because of breast cancer . for whilst i years ago because of breast cancer. for whilst i am thankful that the operation was a success, i do look in the mirror at times and feel sad looking at the scars. if women want to have their healthy breast removed to make them look like men, it's up to it saddens and to them. but it saddens and angers me that costa are celebrating it and it's one

thing to sit here and talk about the trans stuff. it's one thing to sit here and talk about virtue signalling, but actually it is very offensive to a lot of women who've had breast cancer, i think. isn't it ? i think. isn't it? >> absolutely. i have a very dear friend of mine who's going through it right now and it's for those women. it's extraordinarily painful. they do feel like they've having to give up a little bit of their womanhood and they have to come to terms with sort of grieving their bodies because they become unrecognisable and to promote it and celebrate it as if it's as if it's some sort of brave and courageous journey as opposed to a journey into never ending self—loathing. i think absolutely. it's a real insult to women who, through no fault of their own, have ended up having to have their breasts removed 100. >> they shouldn't they shouldn't have to walk down the street and look at that kind of stuff. and for what as well, you know, why do companies feel the need to go

to these to prove that we are look at us, we care about everybody. we are so okay with the pride movement that we will put, you know , a double put, you know, a double mastectomy on the side of one of our vans. for what gain? it is just bonkers that they will go about doing something like that. and boycott. costa is trending . and boycott. costa is trending. it's been trending for a day and a bit now, and i think long may it last because i find that absolutely disgraceful on multiple different fronts. well, look , kelly, thank you very look, kelly, thank you very much. always pleasure. to much. always a pleasure. to great on the show. it's great have you on the show. it's the founder standing for the founder of standing for women, j. keane. we women, kelly j. keane. and we covered a of different bases covered a lot of different bases there. the general there. there is the general gender it. there's the gender issue to it. there's the virtue signalling element. there gender issue to it. there's the vi|also;ignalling element. there gender issue to it. there's the vi|also andilling element. there gender issue to it. there's the vi|also and i'm; element. there gender issue to it. there's the vi|also and i'm veryment. there gender issue to it. there's the vi|also and i'm very grateful ere is also and i'm very grateful for that email that you sent in. thank you very much. i'm thank you very much. and i'm glad operation was glad that the operation was a success. major as was success. as major as it was about the issue of women who have through cancer, have gone through breast cancer, who are now having this paraded in front though this in front of them as though this is great thing, like a trophy is a great thing, like a trophy almost. and i think that's

really, really distasteful , really, really distasteful, actually. anyway, we'll move actually. but anyway, we'll move on from that now. almost 350,000 people have had their bank accounts closed last year, but i will have a legal expert on lots of people have been asking me this. and walking through the street, what legal action can i take if i've been debunked? well stay tuned and i will tell you patrick christys on gb news, britain's news .

channel right. okay. well, in just a tick , i'll be talking about the tick, i'll be talking about the very latest on the nigel farage de—banking scandal. he's fighting for you. he's been offered his accounts back. he'll probably get a fair bit of compo as but he's not stopping as well, but he's not stopping there. he's going to be absolutely hammering them to make the same doesn't make sure that the same doesn't happen there happen for you. of course there will returning to the will also be returning to the other gb exclusive that we other gb news exclusive that we have, luxury flats have, which is luxury flats in essex have given to essex that have been given to migrants, illegal migrants , so migrants, illegal migrants, so that locals are just forced into substandard accommodation. but yes , banks are facing the yes, banks are facing the prospect now of widespread reform times. and also, as well massive, massive amounts of account closures after nigel farage, our very own, erupted this de—banking row. it led to the resignation of natwest chief executive dame alison wokeist rose natwest has since announced an independent review with

lawyers probing the closure of nigel's account. lawyers probing the closure of nigel's account . another nigel's account. another incidents of de—banking by coots. but i wanted to know , as coots. but i wanted to know, as nigel presses ahead with legal action on this, can people sue their banks if they found out that their accounts were wrongly closed? i am joined now by stephen barrett, who is everybody's favourite gb news based barrister. thank you very much, stephen. great to have you i >> -- >> if they they look at it and they think, hang on a minute, i was debunked . was debunked. >> yes. well i can't give legal advice to everybody and everything will be case specific . but i have for a very long time felt that this issue of de—banking can be challenged . de—banking can be challenged. and there are there are, in my view, legal mechanisms for challenging it. view, legal mechanisms for challenging it . several challenging it. several different ones in law, in my

view. when the story emerged initially and people were very seemed very gleeful, but mr farage was being treated this way. they took what i thought i considered to be a very 19th century view of contract law , a century view of contract law, a very, very old fashioned view that whatever goes in the contract , it is the courts will contract, it is the courts will simply uphold it. and that's it . since the 19th century, we have realised that there is an imbalance of power in contract making, and we've done many things to protect consumer rumours or to protect parties that we consider to be weaker when they are engaging in a contractual negotiation, which is largely a fiction, of course, because as one of my favourite bugbears is, is we all have all well , most bugbears is, is we all have all well, most most of your viewers will have have lied about this because they will have been faced with a tick box saying, have you read the terms and conditions to whatever it is? and they probably won't, but they will click yes in order to

activate the online product or the computer program or or whatever. actually, reading the terms and conditions is something that hardly ever happens. and most of us certainly wouldn't wouldn't have the time and day to day life what goes in those contracts cannot be sinister. so, you know, if i if i ordered a some food and clicked, you know. yes i've read the terms and conditions and one of the terms and conditions said, well, you must give me your first born child of obviously that and child of obviously that term and condition not be condition would not be applicable. obviously would condition would not be ap|challengeableusly would condition would not be ap|challengeableuslthe would condition would not be ap|challengeableuslthe courts. be challengeable in the courts. and think it a similar vein. and i think it a similar vein. these terms and conditions which the banks are purporting to use are almost certainly challengeable and nobody must take action based on on on my feeling of that, that they must consult proper qualified lawyers and take individual advice. but i've i've long felt that this is this is not a situation that banks are going to be able to hide behind. and what was interesting about the gina miller situation was how the bank that that financial

institution was. was it initial reply to the customer was to say , i can't tell you, we can't tell you the reason that we've closed your account and that thatis closed your account and that that is simply not sustainable. and what nigel farage and his lawyers have done, which is very clever, a data clever, is used a data protection access protection subject access requests to simply force through that nonsense . and what banks that nonsense. and what banks and financial services institutions seem to be doing is they seem to be bundling all of this up with anti—money laundering. but a lot of it is obviously not anti—money laundering. and certainly, you know , in the case of mr mr know, in the case of mr mr farage, nothing with the farage, nothing to do with the anti—money laundering regime. farage, nothing to do with the anti—rinstitutionsiering regime. farage, nothing to do with the anti—rinstitutions , ring regime. farage, nothing to do with the anti—rinstitutions , theseegime. these institutions, these confections of contract law are much more challengeable than people think . and going to the people think. and going to the idea the banking and financial services is the most heavily regulated industry we have there are obligations to treat customers fairly and to behave in responsible and respectable ways . there are all sorts of ways. there are all sorts of once you get into financial

services law and if the if the victim, if you like, of de—banking is an individual, they get all the benefits of all of the very complicated financial services regulations . financial services regulations. so not merely contract law . so not merely contract law. there'll also be potentially regulatory routes. it's potential that this is all covered by the equality act . and covered by the equality act. and there are some other potential arguments to use. but but the overall conclusion i have is that i think that a challenge will will work because banking is simply too essential a service. now, it became immediately obvious if you if you're denied banking, you're effectively denied the ability to function in this country. effectively denied the ability to function in this country . you to function in this country. you know, it's well beyond, you know , any type of other contract . , any type of other contract. and i have felt for a long time that this would be challengeable . and as ever, when law and pubuc . and as ever, when law and public affairs collide, thank goodness, was sent . mr farage, goodness, was sent. mr farage, who can get an awful lot of attention to a legal issue , attention to a legal issue, which, you know, had he not got all that attention, could have banged on about it till the cows came home and no one would have

listened. but i think it is challengeable. there's also clearly the government clearly plans in the government to all of so i was to clarify all of this. so i was asked some others to draft asked with some others to draft asked with some others to draft a to the finance bill a clause to the finance bill that the government said it would support and that that would support and that that would have dealt with this very, very that was sent very clearly. now that was sent off to the payment services regulation, and that's but that's just a technical, bureaucratic delay in this. it's clearly a government appetite to stop this happening. and you can see why it really doesn't matter whether you gina miller or whether you like gina miller or you nigel farage, you need you like nigel farage, you need them to be able to have banking and financial in this and financial services in this country function . you know, country to function. you know, it's it simply cannot have this ostracising a political opponent . the country won't work . . the country won't work. >> yeah. look, stephen, thank you very , very much. great to you very, very much. great to have you the show and great, have you on the show and great, i think to have that message for people there that there is a web of to of different avenues open to them, of which look them, all of which look relatively promising because people up down country people up and down the country now when walking around, now when i'm walking around, people genuinely coming up people are genuinely coming up to i think i was

expected to move in this week after fire safety inspections have been complete . and the have been complete. and the prime minister was responding to concerns that luxury flats are being used for asylum seekers in chelmsford in essex , while local chelmsford in essex, while local people are struggling in substandard homes. >> is what's going on currently is completely wrong. we've got a situation which is unfair. british taxpayers are forking out £6 million a day to house illegal migrants in hotels and other accommodation. >> that's clearly wrong . it's >> that's clearly wrong. it's clearly unfair, and that's why i want to put an end to it. >> meanwhile, more than 3000 people crossed the english channelin people crossed the english channel in 63 small boats last month , with an average of 52 month, with an average of 52 migrants per boat. month, with an average of 52 migrants per boat . that's the migrants per boat. that's the highest number on record and more than 14,000 people have made the dangerous journey across the english channel so far this year. well, the across the english channel so far this year . well, the prime far this year. well, the prime minister's also today been introducing what he's called the biggest shake up of alcohol

taxes. this century. the move focuses on taxing drinks on their strength with duty on wine and vodka to rise touring a beer festival in west london, rishi sunak claimed the overhaul makes things simpler and will benefit thousands of businesses . thousands of businesses. however, the british beer and pub association warns it will cost the industry an extra £225 million in tax. cost the industry an extra £225 million in tax . the prime million in tax. the prime minister was heckled at the event by a publican prime minister >> oh, the irony that you're raising alcohol duty today as you're pulling a pint. >> well, that publican who was shouting there is rudy kaiser. he spoke to us at gb news and he said customers will be the ones that will be made to pay . that will be made to pay. >> in the last two weeks we've been bulk buying alcohol from our suppliers just to pre—empt this increase from today. so that we can save on the increase in duty in a month's time, two

months time. those increased costs because of the alcohol duty increase will be passed on to the customer . to the customer. >> now a british man who ended the life of his seriously ill wife has visited her grave for the first time since being released from prison in cyprus. david hunter was sentenced to two years for the manslaughter of his wife after he said she'd asked him to end her life at their home in paphos in cyprus in 2021. the couple's daughter said she believed her father wanted to say his goodbyes properly . climate activists have properly. climate activists have spray painted part of the scottish parliament today. they've they've painted it in red and they're protesting against oil and gas rigs in the nonh against oil and gas rigs in the north sea . the group called this north sea. the group called this is rigged called the scottish government's silence on the prime minister's announcement yesterday. for 100 new oil and gas licences is deafening. police scotland says officers

are at the scene . house prices are at the scene. house prices have fallen at their fastest annual rate for 14 years. the nationwide says the average price dropped by 3.8% over the last 12 months. the average uk home now costs . around £260,000. home now costs. around £260,000. now a new drone delivery service has been launched in orkney and scotland, helping locals receive their mail more efficiently . a their mail more efficiently. a collaboration between royal mail and drone company skyports means the scheme will transport letters and parcels between the islands , hopefully with islands, hopefully with significantly improved delivery times . the service will times. the service will initially operate on a trial bafis initially operate on a trial basis for three months, but if it's successful, it could be established as a permanent service . skyports ceo duncan service. skyports ceo duncan walker told gb news why drones are the best solution for tackling delivery problems . tackling delivery problems. >> this service really works well where ground infrastructure is either poor or challenging,

so that's islands where there's ferries or mountainous areas rivers, lakes , more rural areas, rivers, lakes, more rural areas, developing nations . drones are developing nations. drones are perfect for that because they don't rely on ground infrastructure, which is very, very difficult and expensive to implement . so we can access implement. so we can access islands very quickly. we can hop between the two islands and we can do it in a way where actually our wind tolerance is a little bit better than the ferries. so hopefully that improves service levels the islanders. >> lastly , football in >> lastly, football and in australia, lioness is have australia, the lioness is have beaten china six one in their final group game to progress to the last 16 of the women's world cup . they've made history as cup. they've made history as well as the first side to score in 16 consecutive matches . in 16 consecutive matches. lauren james had a hand in five of the six goals in adelaide, scoring two and assisting three by serena wiegmans side will now face nigeria in brisbane on monday day. you're with gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on your digital radio and on

your smart speaker by saying play gb news try it back now to . patrick >> very shortly i will be bringing you our exclusive interview with the prime minister rishi sunak i'm going to be discussing all the latest on nigel farage banking saga as well as he endeavours to fight for you. i will also be revealing what's going on in chelmsford at the moment. and as well, these shocking new tactics that these human traffickers are using to cram as many as 75 people onto a single boat crossing the channel. we here at gb news have obtained some footage of what it's like on one of these boats. i mean, it's not the small boats crisis anymore, is it? they are like ferries, but i just wanted to start with this because yesterday did this because yesterday we did a lot net zero. we did a lot on lot on net zero. we did a lot on rishi sunak's announcements

about oil and and it about more oil and gas. and it got me thinking because there was up today that was a follow up story today that i might have missed. i think you might have missed. but rishi sunak has absolutely done keir starmer over net zero. he's got him bent over an oil barrel and he's exposing the snivelling hypocrisy of the labor party because it looks like labour wouldn't revoke rishi sunak's new oil and gas drilling if they win the next general election . and i wonder general election. and i wonder why that is. keir is it because maybe you realise that all these green policies that you claim to love would actually be terrible, unworkable and unaffordable for britain? labour will try to get out of this on a technicality by saying, well, we promised that we wouldn't allow any new oil and gas and this latest round of drilling isn't new because the tories gave it the go ahead. well, you could just reverse it though , couldn't you? you could though, couldn't you? you could do that if you wanted to. look, mark my words , if rishi sunak mark my words, if rishi sunak started turning the boats back in the channel and it worked,

labour wouldn't reverse it if they came into power either. they're constantly voting against the illegal migration bill. would they reverse it if it comes into power? not a chance.i it comes into power? not a chance. i don't think what we are witnessing now is a stark example of what the reality of a labour government would actually be like. it would be the tail wagging the dog. they are taking donations from. just stop oil if they were in government now , they were in government now, then we wouldn't have new drilling . but they know that we drilling. but they know that we actually need it. so they need the tories to do it for them. they wouldn't be able to control our borders because they're afraid of the refugees. welcome people , so they need the tories people, so they need the tories to do it. they couldn't possibly protect women in women's spaces because keir starmer , until very because keir starmer, until very recently spent eight years not being able to say what a woman is for fear of offending people who look a bit like me, but with a wig on. so they need the tories to pass laws to do it for

them. they couldn't have faced down the unions, could they, and come up with a moderate pay deal because well , they kind of are because well, they kind of are the unions , so they need the the unions, so they need the tories to do it. rishi sunak right now is actually making sometimes quite sensible decisions , ones that are in decisions, ones that are in britain's best interests. and he is being completely vindicated by the fact that if keir starmer came into power, i don't think he'd actually reverse much. if keir starmer comes to power, he will be too busy trying to manage the labour party's own internal factions to actually fix any of the problems facing britain . i'm fix any of the problems facing britain. i'm going to fix any of the problems facing britain . i'm going to return to britain. i'm going to return to that very shortly. big win that i think, and a full frontal admittance that the people who claim to care most about big green new agenda and hitting net zero targets actually are in the pocket us of the green lobby and wouldn't if they were given a choice which rishi sunak is now

giving them, they wouldn't actually stop drilling for oil gbviews@gbnews.com more on that a little later this hour. but to our big exclusive interview with rishi sunak, the prime minister has been talking to our economics and business editor liam halligan. he spoke about a wide range of issues, including the nigel farage de—banking scandal and the hike in alcohol duty and the migrant crisis that's been very carefully and see if you can spot the one time in this clip. by the way, where he quite badly he accidentally misspeaks . just listen to this, misspeaks. just listen to this, prime minister. >> thanks for joining prime minister. >> thanks forjoining us here on gb news. we've seen the government use hotel tells barges like bibby stockholm to house illegal migrants. barges like bibby stockholm to house illegal migrants . gb news house illegal migrants. gb news has learnt that the home office is using a 98 apartment luxury complex in chelmsford, a city where hundreds of vulnerable families have substandard and temporary accommodation . do you temporary accommodation. do you understand the frustration of people who've been on council lists for years trying to get accommodation when they see

migrants housed in luxury apartments? yeah, i think what's going on currently is completely wrong. >> we've got a situation which is unfair . >> we've got a situation which is unfair. british >> we've got a situation which is unfair . british taxpayers >> we've got a situation which is unfair. british taxpayers are forking out £6 million a day to house illegal migrants in hotels and other accommodation. that's clearly wrong . it's clearly clearly wrong. it's clearly unfair. and that's why i want to put an end to it. now, in the short term, we're finding alternative sites like the barges that we're bringing in, which new to deal with which are new ways to deal with this which one else this problem, which no one else has done but i've done. but fundamentally, if we want to stop we've got stop stop this, we've got to stop people coming in the first people coming here in the first place. that's stopping place. and that's why stopping the of my five the boats is one of my five priorities. that's why we've passed toughest law any passed the toughest law that any government passed, government has ever passed, which do that. which will help us do that. >> the eu has delayed its on which will help us do that. >> tpetrol has delayed its on which will help us do that. >> tpetrol and delayed its on which will help us do that. >> tpetrol and dieseld its on which will help us do that. >> tpetrol and diesel cars on which will help us do that. >> tpetrol and diesel cars from)n new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to 2035. in the face of the cost of living crisis, in the face of technical realities, you're keeping that ban here in the uk at 2030, despite the cost of evs. why should british motorists suffer more now than their eu counterparts?

>> that's been the government's policy for a long period of time. it remains a government's policy. but my overall approach to all these questions is, of course i'm committed to net zero, but we've got to do that in proportionate pragmatic in a proportionate and pragmatic way that doesn't unnecessarily add burdens or costs to families lives. and i think we saw a good example of the wrong approach recently when uxbridge by—election you've got the labour party, keir and labour party, keir starmer and sadiq khan pushing ahead with ulez. what does that do? just puts £12.50 on an ordinary family's bill whenever they want to drop off their kids at school or football practise go to the supermarket for weekly supermarket for their weekly shop indeed and visit shop or indeed go and visit their gp. i don't think that's wrong. that's not right wrong. that's not the right approach. our approach. that's not our approach. that's not our approach solve this problem. >> nigel farage was right, wasn't he? he was debunked by coots political reasons, coots for political reasons, which you said the despatch which you said at the despatch box was wrong. we've already seen various executives from coots and natwest resign should natwest chair howard davis now be considering his position? >> so i think it's good that nigel farage and coots are in

dialogue resolving the issue there. but nigel farage also spoke about the broader issue of this impacting other people, and that's my primary concern, because ultimately this isn't about any one individual. this is about values, values that are important to and important to important to me and important to our values howard, hang our country. values howard, hang on. important on. this is really important rather than the individuals to focus at focus on the values that are at stake, of freedom, of stake, values of freedom, of expression and privacy . i expression and privacy. i believe in those values very strongly. need to able strongly. people need to be able to have held views that to have lawfully held views that we might not agree but we might not agree with, but they denied they shouldn't be denied financial services because of they shouldn't be denied financ and arvices because of they shouldn't be denied financ and they're because of they shouldn't be denied financ and they're entitled of they shouldn't be denied financ and they're entitled to them, and they're entitled to their their financial affairs to be kept private. and i think those are fundamental to those values are fundamental to who a country. they're who we are as a country. they're fundamental and that's fundamental to me. and that's why i said what i said almost a quarter of a million gb news viewers listeners, viewers and listeners, prime minister, our don't minister, have signed our don't kill a lot of kill cash petition a lot of people, particularly the old and the vulnerable, are worried they can't use in lots of can't use cash in lots of places, particularly the 2 million or so who got million or so who haven't got bank accounts. million or so who haven't got barsonccounts. million or so who haven't got barso can't|ts. million or so who haven't got barso can't get debit cards . do million or so who haven't got barfsharel't get debit cards . do million or so who haven't got barfshare their: debit cards . do million or so who haven't got barfshare their concernsrds . do million or so who haven't got barfshare their concerns that do million or so who haven't got barfshare their concerns that we you share their concerns that we mustn't kill cash?

>> yes. i represent a rural area with people who are also concerned about this particular issue, and that's why, as chancellor, i started the process and recently we've concluded where we have concluded it where we have legislated in law for access to cash regulation options, which will allow the government to ensure that particularly in rural communities , that people rural communities, that people do have access to cash , because do have access to cash, because we that it important we accept that it is important to people. obviously many people are transitioning using are transitioning to using either phones or online to either their phones or online to do their banking, but whilst that transition happens, people still have access to still need to have access to cash and why we've passed cash and that's why we've passed new that will allow to new laws that will allow us to work with financial providers new laws that will allow us to woribanks,inancial providers new laws that will allow us to woribanks, inanpost3roviders new laws that will allow us to woribanks, inan post office rs new laws that will allow us to woribanks, inan post office and like banks, the post office and others ensure people's access others to ensure people's access to vital services. to these vital services. >> uk economy stalled in >> the uk economy stalled in may. prime minister. 0% growth. are you certain we can avoid recession? >> well, everyone predicted a recession at the beginning of this year after i became prime minister, and we've already averted that actually. so i think people should feel confident future . now, confident about the future. now, my number one economic priority is to bring inflation down. inflation is what's causing

people the most hassle with the cost of living. it's eating into people's savings and ultimately threatens people's and threatens people's jobs and livelihoods. that livelihoods. it's right that our number priority is number one economic priority is to down. to bring inflation down. that requires us to make responsible decisions. i will do that and stick to the course to bring inflation down for everybody. but we are getting on with growing the economy as well. i recently where recently was in japan where i came home with billions of pounds investment. similarly, pounds of investment. similarly, when went us just pounds of investment. similarly, wheotherant us just pounds of investment. similarly, wheother week us just pounds of investment. similarly, wheother week we us just pounds of investment. similarly, wheother week we had just pounds of investment. similarly, wheother week we had an just the other week we had an announcement that are announcement that tata are investing billions pounds in investing billions of pounds in our auto industry to build a gigafactory one of gigafactory in the uk, one of the ever investments of the largest ever investments of that going to create that type. it's going to create thousands jobs and should thousands of jobs and it should give vote of give people an enormous vote of confidence our future. confidence in our future. >> question. you are >> final question. you are famously a teetotal prime minister but you've certainly enjoyed the enjoyed yourself here at the great british beer festival . great british beer festival. what's pub? what's your favourite pub? >> a chancellor, but >> well, i'm a chancellor, but we're delivering backing our we're delivering and backing our great british pubs with our brexit guarantee cheaper brexit pubs guarantee cheaper beer duty in pubs, my beer duty in pubs, but my favourite pub probably favourite pub is probably shouldn't many shouldn't have too many favourites, to home favourites, but closer to home in the golden in north yorkshire, the golden lion absolutely

lion in osmotherly absolutely fantastic . thoroughly recommend fantastic. thoroughly recommend it. and you're to find it. and if you're likely to find me a pub, that's the one that me at a pub, that's the one that you'll find me at rishi sunak. >> minister, for >> prime minister, thanks for joining gb news. joining us on gb news. >> nice to see you. >> very nice to see you. >> okay, i have some breaking news for you. yes. this has just broken in the last few moments. and to here break it is our political correspondent , political correspondent, catherine forster. catherine >> so margaret ferrier has been in deselect ousted. there's going to be a by—election in her seat of rutherglen and hamilton west. she was the snp mp who dunng west. she was the snp mp who during covid took a covid test. and while waiting for the result, got on a train from glasgow to westminster . she glasgow to westminster. she spoke in the houses of parliament but then got a positive covid test result . and positive covid test result. and rather than isolating in london, as she should have done, then in knowing she had covid got back on a train and went back up to

scotland . now the snp booted her scotland. now the snp booted her out. she was subsequently arrested by the police, found guilty. she did to hundred and 70 hours of community service. the common standard committee recommended that she should be suspended . she appealed that suspended. she appealed that funnily enough it was upheld and now finally there's been this recall petition. and basically, if over 10% of the constituents say they want rid of you , then say they want rid of you, then there is a by—election so she's currently been standing as an independent mp , and now there's independent mp, and now there's going to be a very keenly fought battle for this seat between labour and the scottish national party . party. >> good, great. catherine, thank you very much for breaking that news for us. yes, the lady who went on an international covid carrying is going to face carrying tour is going to face a by—election there. catherine

forster, our political correspondent right now. let's get back to the a bit a bit a bit of the rishi sunak interview. one of the subjects that you spoke about was gb news is exclusive report into the situation in chelmsford where migrants been put up in migrants have been put up in luxury flats. hundreds of luxury flats. now hundreds of locals have to live in temporary and substandard accommodation. mould infested people have got serious respiratory problems as a result of it. it is fair to say that the accommodation opfion say that the accommodation option that brits were put in was is killing them, but actually if you happen to have come here illegally on a dinghy, then you will be given a never before lived in three bedroom en suite luxury apartment that actually was in one of the most sought after areas of a very pretty cathedral city. you couldn't make it up, could you? welcome to britain in 2023. i'm joined now by jeremy hutton from migration watch uk, who's going to be talking to me a little bit about this. jeremy, thank you very, very much. look, this is i think, the biggest example i

have seen of brits being disadvantaged in favour of people who have come here illegally . illegally. >> absolutely . it's very >> absolutely. it's very annoying, really very angry. angry, i suppose, because if the migrants going to be put in accommodation, like your report was talking about for british people, the ones with mouldy mouldy ceilings and some such , mouldy ceilings and some such, you can imagine that instantly you'd have dozens or hundreds of charities , you'd have bishops, charities, you'd have bishops, you'd have mps, you'd have everyone, know, jumping in everyone, you know, jumping in saying, this isn't good enough. we need these these poor we need to put these these poor people in better, better accommodation and lo and behold, there'd be some sort of parliamentary committee looking into sure. and when into it, i'm sure. and yet when that to british people, that happens to british people, it no, no one in it seems, well, no, no one in westminster seems to really do anything about it. they just they roll out the they just roll out the red carpet for migrants whilst british people are put up in pretty accommodation . pretty terrible accommodation. and sure all viewers and as i'm sure all the viewers will it's not good will agree, it's just not good enough. this has gone too enough. and this has gone on too far. think one thing far. and i think one thing i picked up on from what rishi

sunak saying in sunak was saying in that interview that, um , was that interview was that, um, was that the is unfair because the system is unfair because we're putting people in hotels which are costing a lot of money. and he's right, it's unfair. but the way to make things fair isn't to buy luxury apartment blocks and let the migrants live in there instead. i think most people would say it's to at least let it's better to at least let british people have chance to british people have a chance to buy those. >> let's that. or at >> well, let's do that. or at least at least least do at least or at least at least do at least or at least at least do at least do a good attempt. jeremy. at least do a good attempt of proposing of proposing some form of deterrence. no wonder, deterrence. and it's no wonder, is we see pictures of is it, that we see pictures of the new tactics that they're using, these human traffickers in boats that using, these human traffickers in crossing boats that using, these human traffickers in crossing the boats that using, these human traffickers in crossing the channel that using, these human traffickers in crossing the channel theyat are crossing the channel they have got reinforced bottoms on them they cramming them them and they are cramming them full of upwards now of 730 people full per boat. i think we did have images of those which would have been quite nice to have had a look at. but and it's no surprise, is it, that now people are in even greater numbers coming because what's the incentive you might come and be a luxury barge or you be put on a luxury barge or you might and a brand new

might come and get a brand new penthouse in chelmsford? absolutely >> i was looking at that the other day. actually back in 2018. you had maybe you know, five, six, seven people per boat, you know, really tiny little dinghies, rubbish things , an industrial , really. now it's an industrial scale operation with these big dinghies often being imported in from china , sometimes via from china, sometimes via germany. and there's a whole supply behind this. and supply chain behind this. and i'd like like you're indicating the deterrence clearly isn't working. we've not working. thankfully, we've not been recently with bad been lucky recently with bad weather. but how long can that continue? >> for now, indeed. look, jeremy, you very, very jeremy, thank you very, very much. jeremy hudson from much. jeremy hudson there from migrationwatch, uk. and just a little later will be little bit later on, i will be showing the video that gb showing you the video that gb news has obtained, shows news has obtained, which shows the reinforced bottom these the reinforced bottom of these boats climbing into boats and people climbing into them sheer amount of them and the sheer amount of people now that can come across the channel one of these the channel in one of these vessels. else scratching vessels. anybody else scratching their heads thinking, hang on a minute, surely can actually minute, surely we can actually just boats getting into just stop the boats getting into europe? jeremy thank you. now, labour the tories labour are against the tories decision to issue new oil and gas licences, but get this they

won't revoke that decision even if they come to power now look, that doesn't make sense to me ehhen that doesn't make sense to me either. well, it does in a way. in the sense that they are actually, in my view, increasing disingenuous about their desire to hit net zero. patrick is on gb news british

channel ina channel in a few minutes time i will be discussing the photograph from a restaurant owner of his hard

working chefs and why it got him into hot water with the politically correct brigade. yeah i know. look at the state of that. anyway, yesterday i brought you news that rishi sunak has announced hundreds of new oil and gas drilling licences. he said that it would make absolutely no sense for the uk to not take advantage of its own domestic fossil fuel resources. labour opposes the new wave of north sea oil and gas exploration licences , but gas exploration licences, but the shadow leader of the house of commons, thangam debbonaire i think let the cat out of the bag on this one. she said that the policy basically would not revoke the new oil and gas exploration licences if they won the next general election . the next general election. joining me now is former labour minister for europe is denis macshane . denis, thank you very, macshane. denis, thank you very, very much. i mean, this is hip chrissy from the labour party, isn't it? getting out of it on a technicality and rishi sunak has done them hypocrisy on rishi's part . part. >> why didn't he take the trade?

i mean, a private jet, the most climate destroying machine in the world, and instead of going in overnight train, i mean, what's wrong with this ? what's wrong with this? >> okay, right. >> okay, right. >> hang on a minute. >> hang on a minute. >> hang on a minute. so, >> hang on a minute. so, look, you are telling me these are two separate issues, but you're telling me that it's a better use of our prime minister's time to night on a train to spend a night out on a train as genuinely, as opposed as opposed genuinely, as opposed to flying to an event? yes seriously, that is actually telling people that it's happening all over europe. >> i used to bump into tony blair on the train coming down from the north regularly. he took train he could have as took the train he could have as prime minister, obviously whizzed an jet. he didn't. >> and i just is that when he wasn't mick jagger's yacht? wasn't on mick jagger's yacht? no, into tony's holidays. >> i wasn't invited. i wasn't there. but to be perfectly to be serious. look, look, big serious. look, look, the big thing that actually no thing is that actually no difference between tories , snp difference between tories, snp and labour on on this one. no question anybody's going to revoke licences. you find me an economist, bring liam halligan back, but find me a serious

energy economist who thinks there'll be much duplicitous . there'll be much duplicitous. >> but it's duplicitous though, isn't it? from keir starmer? because he stands there and goes, this. look at me . goes, i want this. look at me. i'm mr environment. i promise you new oil and gas you now, no new oil and gas drilling. and then rishi sunak goes, to going bit more goes, i'm to going do a bit more new and gas drilling. new oil and gas drilling. and they him. he wants to they go look at him. he wants to rip the face off britain. he doesn't care about the world's setting into flames. well, would you no, of you revoke it? well, no, of course wouldn't revoke it. course we wouldn't revoke it. it's hypocrisy. >> again, what is doing? >> it is again, what is doing? you may not it is just you may not like it is just d you've heard about de—banking lying . lying. >> it's lying, isn't ? >> it's lying, isn't? >> it's lying, isn't? >> it's lying, isn't? >> i could call rishi told lie when he said it's years since the date of 2030 was set. it wasn't . it was the date of 2030 was set. it wasn't. it was boris johnson giving it away, looking for a stunt to get the green vote. so let's drop the lie thing. what? i think what keir starmer is doing, you've heard of de—banking. it's a very fashionable phrase. it is detailed editing. he's just removing labour as a target. now

the tories may not like it. you're an independent, neutral observer. i know you haven't got a sort of right wing view in your patrick, but that's your makeup, patrick, but that's the uncomfortable the problem. it's uncomfortable , but it makes sense. i tell you the big thing. >> it's not true, is it? i'm sorry, but this is. this is part of so. well, this is this is part of the problem. so i. i bet that if rishi sunak started turning the boats back and that worked, then labour come in, they wouldn't reverse that. the same thing happened in australia. sunak does australia. if rishi sunak does manage illegal australia. if rishi sunak does manage bill illegal australia. if rishi sunak does manage bill throughzgal australia. if rishi sunak does manage bill through despite migration bill through despite massive opposition it massive labour opposition and it works and labour party won't massive labour opposition and it works in|d labour party won't massive labour opposition and it worksin and labour party won't massive labour opposition and it worksin and revokejr party won't massive labour opposition and it works in and revoke that rty won't massive labour opposition and it worksin and revoke that rishi)n't come in and revoke that rishi sunak going start drilling sunak is going to start drilling for more oil and gas in the nonh for more oil and gas in the north sea. labour come north sea. if labour come in they revoke that. an they won't revoke that. it's an admittance russia is admittance that russia is getting right. getting it right. >> margaret >> i remember when margaret thatcher with ballots, thatcher came in with ballots, secret for strikes in secret ballots for strikes in trade i've trade unions. i've been a president of the journalists union before just went out union before you just went out on and holding on strike and holding up your hands trade unions went hands and the trade unions went bonkers. kinnock came in bonkers. neil kinnock came in and we're changing and said, we're not changing that. smith did. yeah that. then john smith did. yeah that's how government works. now, interesting

now, what was interesting i thought, that that now thought, was that that we're now spending a lot of money to reinstate storage facilities. they they were set in place in 1985, probably before you were born by marc, by margaret thatcher and cedric shut down in 2017. i forget which useless prime minister was it theresa may then? i really can't. i genuinely can't remember. shut it all down. the market will sort all this out. great big fat panic . and now we're reopening panic. and now we're reopening them again. and this is. this is my point, though, which is that if labour were actually in power now, they would be so constricted by their views on things like just stop oil that they wouldn't be doing the drilling, they would be so constricted by their views from the old refugee. >> welcome brigade they >> welcome brigade that they wouldn't be able to actually sort anything out in the channel. there would have been so by the unions, so hamstrung by the unions, they wouldn't to wouldn't have been able to actually of the actually stop all of the strikes, read any labour history, the left are going history, all the left are going bonkers forget bonkers that starmer is forget about bonkers that starmer is forget abo he's lifting the labour >> he's lifting the labour party. i like this word de we

should put it in front of. we should put it in front of. we should other things. but again mean what you're talking about i think are things that aren't any longer. issues like on ulez , he longer. issues like on ulez, he said, i'm going to talk to sadiq and sort it out come the next election. i think labour will be not even a stealth bomber. it'll be such a slow, droning drone that you won't even notice it's in the sky. all right. >> well, dennis, thank you very much for doing my best to not platform used. dennis mcshane there, the former labour for minister europe. right. lots still come in. what remains still to come in. what remains of between now and of this show between now and 6 pm. in a few minutes time? the shocking revelation that kids as young are being taught young as five are being taught lecture to brainwashed really about white privilege . but about white privilege. but first, it's your latest headunes first, it's your latest headlines with paul . patrick. headlines with paul. patrick. >> thank you. the top stories this hour. the prime minister has told gb news housing illegal migrants in hotels and flats. he said , was completely wrong . in

enough? they could have, but why are there no women ? i just are there no women? i just question that. >> is there only one guy's got tattoos ? tattoos? >> one guy's got tattoos. yeah. okay well, they're getting okay well, so they're getting a bit of stick for saying that all of the chefs, they're chefs are white men . white men. >> oh, yes, that's very true. yeah. is that a problem, do you think ? well, it was very think? well, it was very unusual. i'd imagine , to see unusual. i'd imagine, to see that many white men. yeah two different ipp mixed a little bit, you know, a bit, yeah. okay. yeah, maybe. yeah >> i think he's been on holiday. yes >> for six, 7 or ves— >> for six, 7 or 8. >> how many and all white. okay okay. well, you know what you see, man ? see, man? >> man. yeah >> man. yeah >> oh, man. oh, man. >> man. yeah >> oh, man. oh, man . yeah. and >> oh, man. oh, man. yeah. and then now . no, no, it's all right then now. no, no, it's all right . like telling people, though . . like telling people, though. >> yeah, i like that tone. >> yeah, i like that tone. >> one's got a hat on. yeah i'll tell you what. elderly ones, one's elderly . yeah well, there

one's elderly. yeah well, there we go. >> so absolutely nobody notices . we had an ethnic minority individual there. couldn't say anything wrong with it at all. certainly didn't care. there was one lady. she. she didn't care. a couple of blokes there didn't care. there was, of course, one individual who noticed after quite a prolonged period of time, the real issue there was was about there being too many men and the fact that they were white. i mean, really quickly, i find this absolutely staggering, white. i mean, really quickly, i find this storylutely staggering, white. i mean, really quickly, i find this story about staggering, white. i mean, really quickly, i find this story about thatjering, but that story about that restaurant came the same day restaurant came on the same day that emerged that kids as that it emerged that kids as young five being taught young as five are being taught about white privilege. and it got me thinking, is he actually bad to be white in the uk? joining me now to discuss this further is broadcaster and social commentator narinder kaur nannden social commentator narinder kaur narinder. thank you very, very much. great to have you on the show. look, do you think that it's right to brainwash kids about white privilege from the age of five? >> well, patrick, i think it's really silly way that you've put that because it's not about

brainwashing children. it's about educating children about something embedded our something that's embedded in our society and racism affects our society and racism affects our society from the get go, from the beginning, you know, we have structural institutional racism and that's been proven in every report time and time again. critical race theory isn't new. patrick. this is just a buzzword for teacher children about racism. yes, of course they should be taught about why wouldn't they be so what is white privilege? >> narinder ? >> narinder? >> narinder? >> well, it just means well. well what racism is? it means that what is white privilege? >> hey, white privilege means that you have privileges. >> that a person of colour , for >> that a person of colour, for example, in that thomas straker, he has no ethnic minority and his . his. >> what about the local curry house city? >> so see, that's i hear that too often as well. so in a local curry house they say you wouldn't get paid what you'd get paid in a fine dining falls. that house. well but but that's but that's not the point. the

point is a white person wouldn't go for a job in a curry house. that's the problem. they wouldn't go for a job because it wouldn't go for a job because it wouldn't be paid enough. so they rely on immigrants. now, that's so it's all gone. >> so the person the person. right. | >> so the person the person. right. i got a minute here. so the person that owns the curry house, who dare say is maybe house, who i dare say is maybe banking immigrants to keep banking on immigrants to keep their restaurants afloat, your your. their restaurants afloat, your your . well, they're paying your. well, they're not paying them they're so them enough, so they're not so they would borderline they they would pay borderline criminal wages to. >> no, i didn't say that. i didn't say that. but they do rely on immigrants. there's a lot of business to do in this country. otherwise they fold. now, this is a fine dining restaurant, and the fact is, he's got no women and no people of but he's in the most of colour, but he's in the most diverse city in world. i'd diverse city in the world. i'd say drake is not only say thomas drake is not only part of problem, but he's part of the problem, but he's also continuation the also continuation of the problem. can't say also continuation of the prob he]. can't say also continuation of the prob he couldn't can't say also continuation of the prob he couldn't find an't say also continuation of the prob he couldn't find ort say also continuation of the prob he couldn't find or he ay that he couldn't find or he couldn't find one talented woman , chef or person of colour chef . that's impossible. >> what if those people what if those people applied for that job they were best
