1:07 pm
there's a is olivia there ? there's a is olivia there? >> have we got olivia? >> have we got olivia? >> we've got the we've got the. >> we've got the we've got the. >> oh, sorry, we're having some problems there. there's someone we'll come back to you in just two moments. olivia, thank you very much. we'll come back to you in a minute. i think she's having a few difficult days there but there by the seaside. but thankfully, have my wonderful thankfully, we have my wonderful panel will give their panel here who will give their hot on what suella hot take on what suella braverman accused keir braverman has accused keir starmer and is starmer of doing and that is sabotage of small boats sabotage of their small boats policy. that sir keir policy. she says that sir keir starmer essentially has a web of cronies. actavis that's who work with labour to try and stop things like the rwanda plan to try and stop the government's efforts to stop the small boats. so with me today is david curtain and we also have matthew stadlen , political commentator. stadlen, political commentator. david is of course the leader of the heritage party . so matthew, the heritage party. so matthew, i'll come to you first on this. what do you make of suella braverman? i thought we could communicate for the next hour in stag calling after this.
1:08 pm
>> wasn't that brilliant? >> wasn't that brilliant? >> oh, we've got that later on. >> oh, we've got that later on. >> we've got that later on. >> we've got that later on. >> okay. >> okay. >> saw in >> okay. >> saw news >> saw that in your news bulletin in lithuania. no, it's a isn't it? i mean, a nonsense, isn't it? i mean, the government has in power the government has been in power for in form or for 13 years in one form or another. you've the home another. you've got the home office about a legacy office talking about a legacy backlog of asylum claims. legacy is the conservatives who've been running the show for over a decade. so that's the first point. i'd say. the second point is labour have pointed out that actually in to order clear the backlog at the current rate that the government clearing it, the government is clearing it, it something like, it would take something like, i don't , 14 years, something don't know, 14 years, something like government's like that. so the government's asylum migration policies asylum and migration policies are absolute tatters . and are in absolute tatters. and what the home secretary is trying to do in true populist fashion is to distract by blaming a party that has been out of power since 2010 for their own failures . the idea their own failures. the idea that keir starmer somehow is trying to sabotage her policies for political gain is absurd . no for political gain is absurd. no one wants these crossings . no one wants these crossings. no one wants these crossings. no one wants these crossings. no one wants people to put their lives at risk. everyone wants to
1:09 pm
stop them. the question is why have the government failed to do so? >> well, hang on, it's been well reported that people who have worked with the labour party , worked with the labour party, legal advisers. et cetera. et cetera , have been the ones to cetera, have been the ones to bnng cetera, have been the ones to bring these challenges against the rwanda policy. so the government wants to get the rwanda policy off the ground. they are failing to do so because of legal challenges which are led by, for example, jacqueline mckenzie, who's a senior lawyer leading efforts to block the rwanda policy . she block the rwanda policy. she also serves as a race advisor to laboun also serves as a race advisor to labour. you've also got another activist, bella sankey, who's launching legal cases against the policy. can the rwanda policy. so you can see that from the outside it does look like those people who support keir starmer starmer and are advising keir starmer are also the same people who are launching legal attacks on this policy . so can you see from that policy. so can you see from that respect that people might look at party, look at the at the labour party, look at the labour leader and think is this party on the side of illegal immigration or are they with the government in trying to it?
1:10 pm
government in trying to end it? emily everything you've just said assumes himars presupposes that the rwanda policy, as you describe it, is going to stop the small boats . the small boats. >> of course, the rwanda policy is not going to stop the small boats. the small boats are still coming. the idea that we're going able to send enough going to be able to send enough people to rwanda, which anyway, i think is morally wrong, ethically that ethically wrong, the idea that we're to send we're going to be able to send enough people to rwanda either to clear the backlog to act to clear the backlog or to act as a deterrent absolute as a deterrent is absolute pie in the sky. well, and what about david? >> what about labour councillor who's been found on tiktok spreading tips on how to essentially go from being an illegal immigrant to a legal immigrant by using various loopholes? >> yeah, i think this is erramalli, isn't it? the councillor from newcastle and yeah , look, going back to suella yeah, look, going back to suella braverman accusing keir starmer and her and the labour party of trying to block efforts to slow down migration . well of course, down migration. well of course, i mean it's kind of like accusing a cow of mooing, isn't it? i mean essentially of course that's what they're going to do
1:11 pm
it? i mean essentially of course tithei what they're going to do it? i mean essentially of course tithe era at they're going to do it? i mean essentially of course tithe era ofthey're going to do it? i mean essentially of course tithe era of rapide going to do it? i mean essentially of course tithe era of rapid massg to do . the era of rapid mass immigration started with labour in tony blair's time, and it's carried on through brown and it's accelerated now in the conservatives time. and they've said every year, every election we're going to bring net migration to down the tens of thousands. but they haven't. so in a way suella braverman , in a way suella braverman, although she is correct in saying that the labour activists are trying to block efforts to reduce migration, she is diverting attention and deflecting attention away from the terrible record that the conservative party has had over the last 13 years. and in a way , i do agree with matthew that the rwanda scheme isn't going to do anything ing to bring down net migration . it was set up to net migration. it was set up to fail. but does she look a little bit desperate saying this type of stuff? >> because as matthew said, it is true that the conservatives have been in government in one way or another for the last 13 years. surely if they really, really, really wanted to get a grip of this situation in the
1:12 pm
channel grip of this situation in the channel, they could do with or without the support of labour and various legal activists, of course, they could declare a state of emergency in the channel and they could start pushing the boats back to france and they could put much more and they could put in much more strict people strict controls over people coming in the back of the lorry to tilbury and to dover and places like that . places like that. >> you know, they've passed the immigration bill that went through a couple of through parliament a couple of weeks the situation weeks ago. but the situation hasn't changed. still have hasn't changed. we still have hundreds people coming across hundreds of people coming across the channel day, they the channel every day, so they could have got a grip on this way, before now. and way, way before now. and obviously, you know , she's but obviously, you know, she's but imagine imagine the imagine imagine if the conservatives had said, okay, we're to push the boats back. >> we're going to turn them around. mean, can you imagine around. i mean, can you imagine his from well, here's his outrage from well, here's here's an area where we will all presumably disagree . presumably disagree. >> of course, we can't physically push boats back because then we are taking part actively taking part in endangenng actively taking part in endangering people's lives. what we should be doing as a country. what this government and we agree it's failed agree that it's failed egregiously this area. what
1:13 pm
egregiously in this area. what this government should be doing is down, for goodness is cracking down, for goodness sake, these criminal gangs sake, on these criminal gangs working as closely as it possibly can with the french, who might be a bit recalcitrant because of feeling over because of bad feeling over brexit. this this government has lost control of law and order. you get drugs , drops in my you get drugs, drops in my streets, in london. i saw one happen yesterday evening when i was out . i was out walking the was out. i was out walking the dogs. was out. i was out walking the dogs . there is no sense in which dogs. there is no sense in which communities are properly safe . communities are properly safe. there's no sense in which this government is controlling. >> illegal migration makes that so it's absolutely pathetic . >> it's absolutely pathetic. we've got plenty of home grown criminals in this country as well. government failed well. this government has failed to get grip. it's been in to get a grip. it's been in power for 13 people are power for 13 years. people are getting up. may i? getting fed up. may i? >> yes. you know, we hear this line. they've been in government for 14, 13 years. sometimes for 13, 14, 13 years. sometimes it seems like they haven't. it does seem like the courts activists obviously , the activists obviously, the opposition do try their very best to thwart some of their more controversial local policies. i mean, we only have to cast our mind back to what
1:14 pm
was happening over brexit. but matthew, what is labour's solution? what is keir starmer's big idea ? because it's very easy big idea? because it's very easy to accuse keir starmer of sitting on the fence on major, major issues and it seems to me the labour party talk of safe and legal routes , they talk of and legal routes, they talk of more international cooperation. but what tangibly are they going to do? >> so i'm not a spokesperson for keir starmer. i'm not a labour mp. i i broadly speaking, would like to see a labour government. i would like to see this conservative government out on its heel. what do i think labour should be pushing? i think labour should be pushing an end to the rwanda policy, which is a distraction scheme, which is a headune distraction scheme, which is a headline grabber which simply will . we're both agreed will not work. we're both agreed on it should be pushing on that and it should be pushing a greater emphasis on a far greater emphasis on straightforward law and order. so that's on the beaches, on our borders , get people out there. borders, get people out there. whichever agency it is, we need
1:15 pm
to get those smugglers who are causing absolute misery and causing absolute misery and causing carnage generally and get those guys behind bars. >> well, i think most people would approve of that as a solution, although it doesn't seem to be working. we're spending hundreds of millions of pounds on trying to police that border. and i do actually genuinely believe that what we needis genuinely believe that what we need is a strong deterrent. people say , oh, no, deterrence people say, oh, no, deterrence don't work . well, of course they don't work. well, of course they do. if they are if they are implemented properly. david, i mean, just moving to in the sun today and across the news, it's been reported last week on this show, we reported that that illegal smugglers traffickers, people smugglers were using tiktok to advertise their wares, to advertise their service, and they were using emojis of the union jack and of boats and of france and of the uk to essentially get around some of the regulations on tiktok so that they could keep their videos up in order to get
1:16 pm
business. now it seems the government has given this some thought and tiktok and facebook are going to be joining forces with our top crime busters to crack down on this practise. i mean, how was it even happening 7 mean, how was it even happening ? david? >> yeah, i mean, using tiktok , >> yeah, i mean, using tiktok, it's an absolute joke. tiktok and these social media platforms are open, aren't they? i mean, i don't agree with censorship on these platforms. but, you know, to i were one of to be honest, if i were one of these young men their these young men in their situation, then don't blame situation, then i don't blame them. would do the same. them. i would do the same. because to this because if you come to this country and you're rewarded for getting country, you get getting to this country, you get put in a 4 or 5 star hotel, you get an aspen card with free money on it. you get nice meals, you get a mobile phone , you get you get a mobile phone, you get free health care . you well, most free health care. you well, most of them are military age men. but if you do come with your families, you get education for your kids. so it's a reward for getting this country. i mean, getting to this country. i mean, one of the that they have one of the things that they have done very recently is done just very recently is saying we're going have saying we're going to have marquees and that might marquees set up and that might be of deterrent
1:17 pm
be somewhat of a deterrent because change things because that might change things because that might change things because people think, because people might think, well, come to the uk now, well, if i come to the uk now, i'm not going to get a four star hotel. i'm not sure though, because course people abscond hotel. i'm not sure though, beca|where course people abscond hotel. i'm not sure though, beca|where they're)eople abscond hotel. i'm not sure though, beca|where they're from, abscond hotel. i'm not sure though, beca|where they're from, where nd from where they're from, where they're staying one they're staying because no one wants to left in a hotel or wants to be left in a hotel or a marquee for months and months on end. marquee for months and months on encthat's i agree with >> that's where i agree with getting the backlog. sorry, i'm just going go to some views just going to go to some views and and then we'll come and then and then we'll come back lots of you have back because lots of you have been in touch this. been getting in touch on this. gary says robert jenrick and suella are a waste of suella braverman are a waste of space. are just space. the government are just weak afraid to act. weak cowards, afraid to act. lin says barracks full to says the barracks are full to the the barges will the brim and the barges will merely a day's supply of merely take a day's supply of migrants. basically we are fill up overflowing migrants. basically we are fill up day. overflowing migrants. basically we are fill up day. there overflowing migrants. basically we are fill up day. there is overflowing migrants. basically we are fill up day. there is averflowing migrants. basically we are fill up day. there is a palpable] day by day. there is a palpable sense of anger about this situation. it just seems totally unfair intolerable. alex unfair and intolerable. alex says. have unfair and intolerable. alex says. in have unfair and intolerable. alex says. in power have unfair and intolerable. alex says. in power for have unfair and intolerable. alex says. in power for 13 have unfair and intolerable. alex says. in power for 13 years ve unfair and intolerable. alex says. in power for 13 years of an been in power for 13 years of an utterly failed control utterly failed to control our borders as to how borders without a care as to how it british people. now it impacts british people. now they're a they're blaming labour. what a joke. it does seem like a lot of you seeing through you you are seeing through you or doubting bravermans doubting suella bravermans latest go the latest tactics to go on the offensive against labour when of course they have been in power.

1:19 pm
more confined and to northern areas, plenty of clear spells elsewhere. this combined elsewhere. and this combined with light winds, could bring the odd patch of mist and fog for some southern eastern for some southern and eastern areas. but it will also mean that temperatures will drop readily widely than readily tonight more widely than what we saw on saturday night. so rural areas seeing those temperatures into single temperatures drop into single figures. make for figures. this will make for a fresh but bright start to monday with plenty of sunshine around a few showers once again across particularly northern areas. heaviest and most frequent across northeastern parts of scotland. but after a bright start in the southwest , things start in the southwest, things starting to cloud over as this next area of cloud and rain moves in from the west, but still feeling pleasant in that sunshine throughout monday . now sunshine throughout monday. now looking to tuesday, plenty of cloud and rain once again moving in erratically eastwards, quite a lot of low cloud mist and drizzle for western coasts, but dner drizzle for western coasts, but drier and brighter further north. and as we look towards midweek, it does look like things will be warming up with those temperatures getting around to to maybe even around to the mid to maybe even

1:23 pm
1:24 pm
channel welcome back to gb news sunday with me, emily carver on your tv onune with me, emily carver on your tv online and digital radio. so this week, the bank of england decided to hike interest rates for the 14th time in a row. chancellor jeremy for the 14th time in a row. chancellorjeremy hunt for the 14th time in a row. chancellor jeremy hunt told for the 14th time in a row. chancellorjeremy hunt told gb news that latest 0.25% news that the latest 0.25% increase would help them to bnng increase would help them to bring down inflation without the country falling into recession . country falling into recession. >> any rise in interest rates is a worry for families with mortgages , for businesses with mortgages, for businesses with loans . loans. >> but underneath that rate decision is a forecast that says that this time next year, inflation will be 2.8% and we will have avoided a recession. and what the bank of england governor is saying is that we have a plan that is bringing down inflation solidly, robustly
1:25 pm
and consistently . and consistently. >> so is the bank of england and the government actively trying to make us poorer with these consecutive interest rate rises 7 consecutive interest rate rises ? do we want a chancellor that knowingly allows interest rates? that won't be easy for households? or should jeremy get the sack? quite a lot of questions there to answer. i'm just not on. i'm just not very impressed with the bank of england jeremy hunt, england and also jeremy hunt, there emphasis on there seems to be no emphasis on economic growth at all. and i do wonder if actually do want wonder if they actually do want us to go into recession. is that the way to inflation or at the way to stop inflation or at least to bring it down? so to make sense of all this, i'm delighted to be joined by director and co—founder of regionally, urquhart regionally, justin urquhart stewart. much stewart. thank you very much indeed us this indeed for joining us this afternoon on the sofa. so what do make of my introduction do you make of my introduction there? these interest rate rises, they seem to the rises, they seem to have the backing of the government. that's pretty certain. yes. jeremy hunt seems have jeremy hunt seems to have welcomed so has rishi welcomed them. so has rishi sunak.theidea welcomed them. so has rishi sunak. the idea that they sunak. the idea is that if they continue hike these rates, continue to hike these rates, inflation will come down, down. does that also mean that we
1:26 pm
could be looking at a recession despite what they almost despite what they say almost certainly recession? certainly cause a recession? >> trouble is they're certainly cause a recession? >> actuallytrouble is they're certainly cause a recession? >> actually understandingre certainly cause a recession? >> actually understanding the not actually understanding the different inflation. different types of inflation. for those who are sad enough old enough 1970s and enough to remember 1970s and 80s, me , had 80s, unfortunately, me, you had consumer and so you had consumer booms and so you had inflation. then based on what was coming from happening to the consumer. you raise interest consumer. so you raise interest rates try and rates to actually try and discourage stop people discourage them to stop people spending, now spending, essentially. yeah. now we this. inflation we haven't got this. inflation is nothing to do with consumer boom. high street, boom. you go to high street, people you i'm people won't tell you i'm a consumer boom. they'll tell you their financially frightened at consumer boom. they'll tell you theimomentally frightened at consumer boom. they'll tell you theimoment thisrightened at consumer boom. they'll tell you theimoment this inflationi at consumer boom. they'll tell you theimoment this inflation ist the moment this inflation is coming elsewhere. after covid with chains, the horrible with supply chains, the horrible things happening in things that are happening in ukraine and the production of grain sorts issues grain and those sorts of issues and course, price rises and of course, oil price rises and of course, oil price rises and well, that's and other fuel, well, that's come and the rice price come back and the rice price rises because what's rises because of what's happening india. now, the happening in in india. now, the best in the world are best one in the world are british chancellor can't control those things. it's very british chancellor can't control thosesaying;. it's very british chancellor can't control thosesaying i'm it's very british chancellor can't control thosesaying i'm going very british chancellor can't control thosesaying i'm going to lery british chancellor can't control thosesaying i'm going to cut well saying i'm going to cut inflation down 2. how and of inflation down to 2. how and of course, bank england course, the bank of england doesn't tools like one doesn't have many tools like one andifs doesn't have many tools like one and it's a bit like a man who owns a hammer. everything sort of nail. so
1:27 pm
of looks like a nail. so inflation, well, for interest rates it's the wrong rates up, it's the wrong to thing do . if you want to thing to do. if you want to control this inflation, you've got to get more confidence coming into domestic market. coming into the domestic market. so businesses will be investing more. be more. businesses will be actually have the confidence both domestically and internationally. and then all the consumer feels a little bit more confident. there's more confident. well, there's a bit at moment. bit difficult at the moment. those actions. stake those are the actions. stake doesn't cost a lot because you doesn't cost a lot because you do it by way of tax breaks, not giving tax back, brakes on giving tax back, but brakes on new being developed. new businesses being developed. >> all true, then >> so if that's all true, then surely hunt deserve surely jeremy hunt does deserve the sack. got this the sack. he's got this completely he's got it completely wrong. he's got it back to front. so of course, the bank england are their own bank of england are their own entity. jeremy is entity. but jeremy hunt is supporting exactly tactics supporting exactly their tactics of interest rate supporting exactly their tactics of up. interest rate rises up. >> but wait, the bank of england rises up. >:independent.3 bank of england rises up. >:independent. that's of england rises up. >:independent. that's because nd is independent. that's because george told george brown gordon brown told us independent. so who us it was independent. so who actually makes appoints the governor the bank of england? governor of the bank of england? well, the government and the treasury. appoints treasury. who appoints the people to be on people who are going to be on that committee? be the that committee? that will be the treasury the government and treasury and the government and the people bank of the people inside the bank of england approved by the england are approved by the treasury government. but treasury of the government. but apart that, it's completely
1:28 pm
apart from that, it's completely independent. apart from that, it's completely independtools. it comes the right tools. so it comes back to the treasury and say, how do we with this type of how do we deal with this type of inflation? goes back to inflation? and that goes back to that so actually external that point. so actually external inflation and domestic confidence. primary inflation and domestic confid of :e. primary inflation and domestic confid of the primary inflation and domestic confid of the uk primary inflation and domestic confid of the uk economy? primary inflation and domestic confid of the uk economy? well,iry driver of the uk economy? well, the biggest part of it is the consumer spending and also the areas greatest employment areas of greatest employment are smaller areas of greatest employment are sm.well, what need to >> well, that's what we need to focus. like people are focus. it's not like people are going out and spending huge amounts well, the amounts of money. well, the ordinary on the street ordinary person on the street isn't really in isn't there really reining in their spending. hard to their spending. so it's hard to believe this inflation is believe that this inflation is caused people spending willy caused by people spending willy nilly. you think nilly. so, david, do you think jeremy boot? jeremy hunt should get the boot? >> yeah, i don't i didn't support him anyway coming in. i think in a coup, think he came in in a coup, didn't he? and liz truss time. so there's all that was so you know there's all that was a a coup. yeah. so i mean a bit of a coup. yeah. so i mean really that was mean. i'm no fan of any of them, but i think the way came was really, way he came in was really, really appalling, really badly done. know, what he's done. so, you know, what he's doing at the moment is really hurting or already hurting people or already hurting, house hurting, you know, because house mortgage are mortgage rates are up, rents are up, energy prices are up. council is up. food prices council tax is up. food prices are petrol are up. are up, petrol prices are up. and then he's putting the
1:29 pm
interest up even more. interest rates up even more. i mean, you can see if he wants to put a some kind of cap or , you put a some kind of cap or, you know, to slow down house price rises, which might be good to keep them down to 5 or 10% a yean keep them down to 5 or 10% a year, 2% a year. yes. you have to put interest rates up a little bit. but i think he should have stopped before now mode, i think. >> yeah. matthew carroll has just written in and she says it's all so depressing. everything seems hopeless. too many fears about the many naysayer fears about the uk. need return to being a uk. we need to return to being a can do country. you have can do country. do you have any positive on what's been positive spin on what's been going on when it comes to the economy? there are signs at least, that inflation is starting to go down. we've maybe had the worst of it . had the worst of it. >> it's really difficult for any of us to double guess what the bank of england is trying to do and to work out whether we could suggest something more positive in policy terms. and we talked briefly just then about liz truss's government . i think the truss's government. i think the majority of people this majority of people in this country think she was the country would think she was the most prime minister
1:30 pm
country would think she was the most ever prime minister country would think she was the most ever you're minister country would think she was the most ever you're rightter country would think she was the most ever you're right .er we've ever had. you're right. the economy, though some would argue helped argue she did or helped contribute towards it . i think contribute towards it. i think people will associate it . people will associate it. interest rises, interest interest rate rises, interest rate rises and their mortgages going with the conservative going up with the conservative party election . party at the next election. because of what liz truss did. if you look back to gordon brown, absolutely right. brown, you're absolutely right. he took interest rates out of the government. the realm of government. he wanted them . so wanted to depoliticise them. so it's very difficult unless the government the on government changes the law on that. repealing despises that. and repealing despises them. very difficult for them. it's very difficult for them. it's very difficult for the government to know quite to what do these circumstances. what do in these circumstances. i if had i mean, if you had a conservative chancellor saying that of the bank of that the governor of the bank of england all wrong, england had got it all wrong, then be in a real pickle. then we'd be in a real pickle. >> it's very difficult. very sadly, that's all we've time sadly, that's all we've got time for. much for for. thank you so much for coming the studio, justin coming into the studio, justin urquhart stewart there, and of course, wonderful course, my wonderful panel, david matthew stadlen david kirton and matthew stadlen . right, you're watching or . so right, you're watching or listening news sunday with listening to gb news sunday with me, we've got listening to gb news sunday with me, more we've got listening to gb news sunday with me, more coming we've got listening to gb news sunday with me, more coming uple've got listening to gb news sunday with me, more coming up on e got listening to gb news sunday with me, more coming up on today's lots more coming up on today's show. keir starmer has been accused sabotage efforts to accused of sabotage efforts to stop small meanwhile stop the small boats. meanwhile while party have while the labour party have stood councillor stood by a councillor that posted a video to tiktok

tv, online and radio. >> now before the break, we did discuss s suella braverman's allegations as she's accused keir starmer of sabotaging her plans, working with a web of cronies to sabotage her plans to stop the boats. we asked whether labour would be worse on illegal immigration or if they've got a better plan. would they stop the boats? would they with the boats? would they deal with the backlog ? it doesn't backlog quicker? it doesn't seem like you have much. like many of you have much. well, hopes for the well, strong hopes for the labour party if they were in charge. mel wigan says if charge. mel from wigan says if labour will be doomed. labour get in we will be doomed. we a tough approach we need a tough approach on immigration written in. immigration and he's written in. you've a labour government you've said a labour government would an door policy would have an open door policy on immigration. a labour government is a serious danger to and finances as to our security and finances as it doesn't seem like there's lots doesn't like lots of doesn't seem like there's quite a diversity of opinion on this one, avril says labour would most definitely be worse than the conservatives on immigration. it was labour that
1:38 pm
opened the floodgates, not initially. there you go, initially. so there you go, strong from people at home strong stuff from people at home and this is a problem for the labour party if they want people to them on immigration, to trust them on immigration, they're have well, they're going to have to well, not just and block the not just try and block the conservatives plans, come conservatives plans, but come up with something will deal with something that will deal with something that will deal with problem themselves . but with the problem themselves. but anyway, on. me anyway, let's move on. let me know about that. know what you think about that. so of ten tory party so eight out of ten tory party members want sunak to ditch the 2030 and diesel car ban. 2030 petrol and diesel car ban. a poll of them published by the conservative home website found that 83% believe the government was ban sale of was wrong to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars. so joining me now is motoring journalist quentin willson . journalist quentin willson. quentin, thank you very much indeed for joining quentin, thank you very much indeed forjoining me. i believe you're in sunny bordeaux, which is rather nice . yes. so this ban is rather nice. yes. so this ban , do you think this ban firstly is it realistic? i know that some other european countries have decided to backtrack a bit on that date , haven't they ? on that date, haven't they? >> well, emily, look , you can >> well, emily, look, you can drive a petrol car , own a petrol drive a petrol car, own a petrol car until 2035. so that's 12
1:39 pm
years. it'll be a hybrid, but you can drive that car without ever having to charge it. so feel that it's all going to stop after 2030 is wrong and you can carry on buying a second hand diesel or petrol car and driving it till you drop dead . so the it till you drop dead. so the hysteria surrounding it is a little bit kind of, you know, extreme. the telegraph survey, which is a conservative home, as you say, there was only 695 respondents. now i spoke to a leasing company yesterday , leasing company yesterday, tuska, and they've got 29,000 cars on on lease. and they've done a survey with 1200 people, which is almost double the conservative home1 and 92. and these are 20% taxpayers. emily they're on salary sacrifice for their and factory workers and shop workers . 92% said they were shop workers. 92% said they were satisfied or very satisfied with their evs. 76% will choose an eevee for the next car. 96% say they're ev is reliable or very
1:40 pm
reliable. then, with another survey , 3200 people 737% would survey, 3200 people 737% would like an or have considered getting one. so we're being told not to buy evs by people who have never owned and never dnven have never owned and never driven them. so we need factual accuracy and we need a kind of, you know, a clear statement of what people think about evs once they've driven them and owned them . them. >> that's very interesting. quentin, do you have an electric vehicle? one? i've vehicle? would you buy one? i've got one. >> yeah, absolutely. i've got two. and i've driven to france in and it's sitting outside in one and it's sitting outside and three and a bit stops to charge and was fine. 760 charge and it was fine. 760 miles. so your viewers need to understand you can do long distance in them and also because these low tax tax people , these these salary sacrifice, you can afford them in octopus is doing a thing now where you can have a second hand ev include ing electricity charging and insurance for £300 a month. i've spoken to quentin. >> i think i think a lot of
1:41 pm
people are worried about whether the infrastructure is in place to allow for so many people to switch to electric vehicles . and switch to electric vehicles. and of course, people are considering switching to electric vehicle because they're worried about the potential ban on sales of petrol and diesel. they're worried about the additional that people they're worried about the addit to al that people they're worried about the additto spend, that people they're worried about the additto spend, forat people they're worried about the addit to spend, for example, with have to spend, for example, with the scheme and other green the ulez scheme and other green schemes country . so schemes around the country. so it's, you know, it makes sense for to looking at for people to be looking at electric vehicles because they don't want to be charged huge amounts down the road. amounts of money down the road. but a worry about but is there a worry a, about the infrastructure? and secondly, are we secondly, how on earth are we going produce enough going to produce enough electricity everyone to electricity to power everyone to use electric vehicle? does use an electric vehicle? does seem quite difficult . seem quite difficult. >> the infrastructure is certainly needs improving. we've got seven years till 2030 national grid. i've spoken to them . they said it's going to be them. they said it's going to be fine. we've got four gigawatts of wind coming in. and also, you've got to remember, emily, that 80% of electric car drivers charge at home at night on low tariff renewable energy , which
1:42 pm
tariff renewable energy, which is about sort of six per mile. so, you know , that hysteria so, you know, that hysteria about public charging , yes, we about public charging, yes, we need more, but you'll find many, many people. my daughter is in devon now charging her car at home and it's electric and it's absolutely fine. so, yes, let's get more charges. but let's not fear this and tow the whole thing out to sea and sink it with gunfire. >> well, there you go. you may have turned some electric vehicle sceptics with this interview. thank you very much indeed. wilson, there, a indeed. quentin wilson, there, a motoring journalist and a fabulous one at that. so my panel , matthew, i'll come to you panel, matthew, i'll come to you first. electric vehicles. i mean, do you own one? no. do you think that it is fair to say that certain government policies have been anti—car ? have been anti—car? >> i don't think it's about being anti—car. it's about being pro their commitments to net zero. so don't forget, it was a conservative government that signed into law. it's own pledge to reach its net zero targets. i think what we're seeing now is
1:43 pm
rishi sunak, a prime minister who is panicking . he was handed who is panicking. he was handed what he , i think mistakenly what he, i think mistakenly believes is a tiny lifeline by as tiny majority victory in holding on to the uxbridge constituency that i think people expected probably would swing . expected probably would swing. and he's now racing frantically to try and fish a few votes out of the water by backtracking on some of his environmental policies. yes. >> no, i completely get that. and i agree to a large extent. but david, should it really be the job of government to ban sales on quite useful products such as petrol and diesel cars? >> absolutely not. and particularly the conservative government , which is supposed to government, which is supposed to be for the free market. i mean, you let the free market decide there's a new product , there's there's a new product, there's electric vehicles, so you let consumers do you want to consumers decide. do you want to buy diesel or electric buy petrol or diesel or electric vehicles? it's absolutely right i >>i >> i should have asked quentin there, why do we need a ban if electric vehicles are so brilliant, as he describes?
1:44 pm
exactly. >> if they're so great, then people will go out and buy them in numbers. but the thing in big numbers. but the thing is, more expensive. what is, they're more expensive. what he about national grid he said about the national grid having for having enough power for all these vehicles are these electric vehicles that are supposed coming online. supposed to be coming online. i don't think it's true at all. i mean, there's 39 million vehicles in the uk at the moment. there's about half a million that are electric. so that's 3, something that's what, 2 or 3, something like that and you replace like that. and if you replace all 39 million vehicles and with petrol and diesel vehicles with electric vehicles, there's not going to be grid would not be able in the national grid at able to in the national grid at all. so that's absolute nonsense. and also the other thing , they so much cobalt thing, they need so much cobalt and lithium. and i think this is one thing that people are really very, very concerned about is the child labour in mining these minerals in congo, in places like that. there's not enough cobalt and lithium in the whole world. on, hang for on just world. hang on, hang for on just stop you there because clayton has actually listening to has actually been listening to what been saying. has actually been listening to whtdavid, been saying. has actually been listening to whtdavid, and en saying. has actually been listening to whtdavid, and in saying. has actually been listening to whtdavid, and i believe. has actually been listening to whtdavid, and i believe he's >> david, and i believe he's still apparently, was still there. apparently, he was shaking behind zoom shaking his head behind the zoom screen. bring screen. so we've got to bring you back. why were you shaking
1:45 pm
your head, david? quentin, sorry i >> -- >> so first, there are 1.2 million in cars in the uk. million plug in cars in the uk. they mean the tesla model y is the best selling car in the world, not just the best selling car, but the best selling electric as well. so you electric car as well. so you know, there is popularity there . the sales have gone gone up massively this year, 97% increase. and the grids say they will be able to cope. and i talked to them on a regular basis. and as for the cobalt and lithium, look, half of teslas have what's known as batteries, which don't have any cobalt in them at all. and you've got lots and lots of other cars that are now getting batteries. so this reliance cobalt will fade. reliance on cobalt will fade. it's much , much, much reduced it's much, much, much reduced now than it was, say, ten years ago. and there are issues in the drc with the chinese mines. but all the european car makers have signed a thing called the fair cobau signed a thing called the fair cobalt alliance, which sends these kids to schools and not put them in mine. so that's all being addressed. and we aren't going to run out of all these
1:46 pm
these these minerals. mean lithium is really, really plentiful. but the batteries will change. we've got a solid state batteries coming up. we've got semi solid state batteries now in use in cars. so the technology changes the reliance on on on rare earth minerals is going to be less and look, the data says that people are buying these cars and they're enjoying them. >> yeah, well, you put forward a very convincing case there, quentin. thank you very much indeed for hanging on the line and coming back on that point. thank you very much indeed . thank you very much indeed. right. going to move on. thank you very much indeed. rigisorry, going to move on. thank you very much indeed. rigisorry, matthew, :o move on. thank you very much indeed. rigisorry, matthew, g01ove on. thank you very much indeed. rigisorry, matthew, go one on. thank you very much indeed. rigisorry, matthew, go on. very oh, sorry, matthew, go on. very quick. very quickly. very quickly. >> i'm someone who does, unsurprisingly, believe that climate happening, unsurprisingly, believe that clim we happening, unsurprisingly, believe that clim we have happening, unsurprisingly, believe that clim we have to happening, unsurprisingly, believe that clim we have to dorappening, unsurprisingly, believe that clim we have to do something that we have to do something about also someone about it. but i'm also someone who that things where who thinks that things where they can be should affordable they can be should be affordable and lower incomes, and people on lower incomes, people really can't afford people who really can't afford stuff should be helped by the government, by a responsible government, by a responsible government, much as possible. government, as much as possible. so you're scrappage so if you're doing a scrappage scheme part of ulez, you have scheme as part of ulez, you have to people can to make sure that people can really afford to change their cars. otherwise it's simply
1:47 pm
unfair. no one wants to go around penalising people. and just very finally, it's not just about the wider environment. it's not just about climate change. it is about toxic change. it is also about toxic air. londoner, born and air. i am a londoner, born and bred, and i can you the air bred, and i can tell you the air now and in the last few years is the worst i can ever remember. >> that's actually borne >> it is. that's actually borne out the statistics, though. out by the statistics, though. i'm that the air is i'm not saying that the air is really , but it does seem really clean, but it does seem to certain areas it's to have in certain areas it's really, bad if it's if it really, really bad if it's if it if is starting to get better if it is starting to get better again in, then that's presumably partly because we are changing policy. we can debate that policy. well we can debate that another but it's an another time, but it's an interesting because the data interesting one because the data does show that pollution in central london has got much better and in greater london as well. regardless of these ulez schemes, its cars are cleaner , schemes, its cars are cleaner, thankfully, and they're getting cleaner. but i just cos of you people, that's presumably partly because aggressive though because of aggressive though i don't need the aggressive anyway. move on. anyway. we're going to move on. we'll to that. lots of we'll come back to that. lots of people saying electric people have been saying electric vehicles too vehicles are just way too expensive know, expensive and you know, they don't much hand don't have much second hand value you know, there's not
1:48 pm
value and you know, there's not enough infrastructure . et enough infrastructure. et cetera. cetera. for lot of cetera. et cetera. for a lot of people, they want the people, they just want the knowledge they the knowledge that they can put the petrol their car and they petrol in their car and they know how long it will run for. and for. and they don't and last for. and they don't have about how long it have to worry about how long it takes to charge batteries. takes to charge their batteries. but perhaps you are but let me know, perhaps you are a electric vehicle. convert and think thing think they're the best thing since sliced but anyway, since sliced bread. but anyway, believe it or not, the labour party is standing by a councillor who posted online videos highlighting immigration councillor who posted online videos higin ghting immigration councillor who posted online videos higin gitiktokrmigration loopholes in a tiktok video. labour lawyer labour councillor and lawyer erum she can help those erum ali said she can help those here illegally or have here illegally or who have overstayed visas to make overstayed their visas to make their case to the home office. so essentially trying to help illegal migrants who are in this country a visa to make their country get a visa to make their case to the home office, be able to stay for here a longer period of time or forever. so let's take a look at one of her videos. >> hi, listeners. >> hi, listeners. >> erum ali here. immigration solicit . where are you in the uk solicit. where are you in the uk without a valid visa ? are you without a valid visa? are you illegal or have you overstayed your visa? do not fear erum ali
1:49 pm
is here to help you regularise your visa in the uk and submit an application to the home office based on your human rights. it is extremely important to make sure you become legal in the uk . there is become legal in the uk. there is an extremely hostile environment for overstayers here, so you must make sure that you can submit an application to the home office, become legal and be en route to indefinite leave to remain so, contact me. let's have that conversation and work out what needs to .be done to get your stay here in the uk . your stay here in the uk. >> never fear erimalai is here. apparently while immigration minister robert jenrick has told gb news he believes this reflects the labour party's approach to immigration , of approach to immigration, of course he has. >> it is an example of what the labour party really thinks and as far as i can tell absolutely nothing has been said or done with respect to that lady.
1:50 pm
that's wrong and that shows what labour behind the mask really thinks about this issue . thinks about this issue. >> so in response to the video, a labour source has said erramalli has been spoken to and acknowledges the language, the language in the video wasn't appropriate and she's taken it down. this isn't about language, is it? david this is actually scandalous that she is trying to appeal to illegal migrants in order to fix their status here. >> yeah, i mean, there's no that's encouraging. >> yeah. illegality surely. >> yeah. illegality surely. >> well, look, she has free speech, so she can say that if she wants to. the thing is, there are these loopholes. but i think it's deplorable that somebody who is a labour councillor, of councillor, representative of a political party is actually encouraging people to exploit these i think is these loopholes i think is absolutely terrible that she's doing that. but they do exist and it comes back to what we said before. the conservatives who are like having a go at her have power for 13 years, have been in power for 13 years, but they've done nothing to close these loopholes they close these loopholes and they should more action in close these loopholes and they sho past more action in
1:51 pm
close these loopholes and they sho past to more action in close these loopholes and they sho past to make more action in close these loopholes and they sho past to make sure re action in close these loopholes and they sho past to make sure thistion in the past to make sure this doesn't happen, because they doesn't happen, because if they haven't, someone haven't, so obviously someone like her can come along and say , well, look, i'm a lawyer, come to , you can have my services. to me, you can have my services. and it's all legal, but it's deplorable, obviously. and they will they're appealing to their voter base, course. voter base, of course. >> matthew, do >> but matthew, do you understand why people be understand why people would be outraged this ? outraged by this? >> first all, i think david's >> first of all, i think david's already that already acknowledged that we have and also you have free speech. and also you guys very much as micro guys are very much as a micro market economy, i believe in a certain amount of regulation, as i'm do to some extent, i'm sure you do to some extent, anyway. so she's presumably entitled to have said what she said. she's one labour councillor. actually councillor. i actually think that is the shadow that yvette cooper is the shadow home secretary. be and home secretary. she will be and intends be pretty tough on intends to be pretty tough on illegal immigration . and if you illegal immigration. and if you look at her record, if you look at the shadow chancellor as well, rachel reeves, she's actually that i've actually said stuff that i've not particularly with. i not particularly agreed with. i think a bit far, think she's gone a bit too far, become too strong in that become a bit too strong in that area . and to say, area. and also just to say, look, we have human rights in this country . one of the great this country. one of the great things about britain and i'm a great fan of my country, our
1:52 pm

2:03 pm
enforcement to try and close down bogus employers who are breaking the law by employing illegal migrants. >> meanwhile , shadow immigration >> meanwhile, shadow immigration minister stephen kinnock says a labour government would still have to house migrants in barges for short periods while tackling the backlog of asylum cases. the labour government would also continue to place asylum seekers in former military bases for up to six months. kinnock blamed the conservative government for the conservative government for the current asylum situation but could not say how long it would take. a labour government to reduce the asylum backlog of 172,000 cases as ukraine's president vladimir zelenskyy, is accusing russia of bombing a blood transfer centre in the north—west of the country. mr zelenskyy claims a number of people are dead and others are injured . but the president did injured. but the president did not disclose how many fatalities there are. he described the strike in the eastern kharkiv region as a war crime . there's

2:06 pm
migration crisis. suella braverman claims the labour leader has a web cronies who leader has a web of cronies who are any effort to stop are blocking any effort to stop small boat crossings from calais. me now is gb calais. so joining me now is gb news political correspondent olivia utley olivia . it seems olivia utley olivia. it seems there she is, olivia suella braverman . she seems to be on braverman. she seems to be on the offensive, doesn't she? >> she absolutely does. and since those byelections a few weeks ago where we saw the conservatives unexpected win the seat of uxbridge because it essentially turned into a referendum over the ulez issue , referendum over the ulez issue, the conservatives have decided that the way they can possibly claw back a bit of momentum from labour and maybe even win a general election is to find a wedge issues between themselves and keir starmer. those issues that the public really, really care about, where they think they have a stronger line than starmer and illegal immigration is very clearly one of them. faux pas groups and polls over and over again show very clearly that the people are on the side of the governments. rwanda plan. they the idea of deporting
2:07 pm
they like the idea of deporting migrants illegal migrants to rwanda while their claims are being proved processed. and this is a really useful sort of angle for the government because keir starmer has repeatedly opposed the government's rwanda plan. now, what's quite interesting about this is keir starmer has been very careful in his opposition to the plan because he knows that the public likes it. so what he's been saying isn't that he doesn't isn't so much that he doesn't think plan for moral think it's a good plan for moral reasons, says simply that it reasons, he says simply that it just won't work. to be fair just won't work. and to be fair to so far, the evidence is to him so far, the evidence is in favour. we saw those in his favour. we saw those rwanda flights being stalled at the minute last year rwanda flights being stalled at the ofnute last year rwanda flights being stalled at the of human;t year rwanda flights being stalled at the of human rights lawyers because of human rights lawyers complaining. so now we're seeing this issue where suella braverman is attacking the labour leader , keir starmer, on labour leader, keir starmer, on the grounds that one of the lawyers who is working on the labour election manifesto for next year, a woman called jacqueline mckenzie , is jacqueline mckenzie, is apparently very heavily involved in the in one of the groups that are that are opposing the rwanda
2:08 pm
plan. so suella braverman is hoping that she can sort of crack through keir starmer's defence that he doesn't oppose the plan for moral reasons. he simply opposes it for practical reasons the reasons by showing that the people is hanging around people who he is hanging around with don't like the rwanda plan. full stop . and you can see that full stop. and you can see that the government has deployed pretty similar tactics before. it's all about who keir starmer is hanging around with. when it showed that it was revealed showed that that it was revealed that were extinct that there were extinct rebellion donors who were also donating to the labour party . donating to the labour party. that was real fuel for the conservatives fire. so this is a really good example of one of those wedge issues where suella braverman and rishi sunak think that they have the upper hand and are very keen to use it. >> it's quite interesting, isn't it, because of course the conservatives are to conservatives are trying to appear illegal appear tough on illegal migration. suella braverman saying there that it is the labour party and his cronies that are stopping, trying to block their efforts , but also block their efforts, but also the labour party is talking quite tough as well in so far as
2:09 pm
they are saying that they would keep barges for keeping migrants on, they would keep military military bases if they form a government. so they're not saying we do away with absolutely everything. the conservatives are doing. is that an acceptance that people, the majority of people in this country do want something quite tough to be done ? but then keir tough to be done? but then keir starmer has to deal with those in party who would like to in his party who would like to see a more open border policy . see a more open border policy. >> well, absolutely . this is the >> well, absolutely. this is the exact problem for keir starmer. he knows as we all know, that the public as a whole are very pro tackling illegal migration over and over again. it comes either top or second on people's list of their top priorities. so as you say, the labour frontbench are very keen to say that they are to going tackle illegal migration. they say that their only opposition to the rwanda plan is that it isn't practical and their plans would be as tough as the conservative plans. but but more bit easier to put effect and more to put into effect and more
2:10 pm
practicable , or whether that practicable, or whether that will hold true as we get nearer to a general election remains to be seen because as you say, there are those both in the labour parliamentary party and in the labour party members more widely, many of whom became labour party members under jeremy corbyn and who are much more keen on on a fully sort of open borders policy and don't really see the issue with high levels of migration and in some cases don't even see the issue with high levels of illegal migration. so keir starmer is really fighting to battles on this front, a battle with the general public the battle general public and the battle with own and is with his own party. and this is why conservatives are why the conservatives are really, really keen to get in there now and suggest that they have the upper hand, that on this they are united, this issue they are united, which they clearly are. which they very clearly are. when we saw the rwanda plan going parliament going through parliament last week, opposition from week, it had no opposition from conservative i think conservative mps. so i think this is an issue which the conservatives will want to shout about over the coming weeks. >> thank much indeed. >> thank you very much indeed. olivia political olivia utley our political correspondent from sunny bournemouth. you very much bournemouth. thank you very much indeed. me for the next
2:11 pm
indeed. so with me for the next houn indeed. so with me for the next hour, political commentator matthew and leader of matthew stadlen and leader of the party, david kirton the heritage party, david kirton . matthew, i'm going to come to you. olivia had a lot to say there about what the conservatives are trying to do tactically. do you agree that this is too essentially this is too well, essentially have this issue be one of their wedge issues that can wedge issues that they can monopolise, least some monopolise, at least some support and gain back a bit of support and gain back a bit of support that they may lost? support that they may have lost? so first of all, olivia so i think, first of all, olivia was suggesting may be was suggesting that there may be some mps out there who some labour mps out there who are open borders. are pro open borders. >> i mean, i don't know any labour mps the likes of zara sultana , who well want sultana, who may well want a very policy . do you know very liberal policy. do you know of any labour who actually of any labour mp who actually wants have an border? wants to have an open border? i don't. jeremy corbyn, thankfully, no longer thankfully, is no longer a labour mp and i'm sure he wouldn't even say that we want open borders. is a nonsense open borders. this is a nonsense . this is a distraction. this is desperate tactics from a desperate tactics from a desperate home secretary, from a desperate home secretary, from a desperate government who are incompetent and have failed to get a grip on something that hang on, something that olivia and you would say people care
2:12 pm
about. >> but do you people care have been obstacles put in their way, i.e. why hasn't this rwanda policy? >> no, i don't agree because because there have been legal challenges against it. >> i don't i don't agree on precise because i and i think david agrees with me. >> but we'll hear from him in a second. do not believe that rwanda is coming anywhere close to scratching the surface of solving this issue . solving this issue. >> well, david, yes , it seems >> well, david, yes, it seems like most people in my inbox , like most people in my inbox, although do keep your views coming in, are saying that labour would most certainly be worse than the conservatives when it comes to illegal migration. even if matthew says that there are no there is no one in the labour party who really believes in open borders, there are quite a lot of people at home who think, well, actually do , even if that's actually they do, even if that's wrong, that's the perception. >> well, labour will terrible >> well, labour will be terrible , but i don't know if they'd be worse than what call the fake worse than what i call the fake conservatives because say conservatives because they say they're reduce they're going to reduce immigration single immigration every single year, every election. but now every single election. but now
2:13 pm
it's 606,000 net into the country and we've had record illegal immigration across the channel last year of 48,000. we're already on 15,000 this yeah we're already on 15,000 this year. so we're on course to beat that because of course, more people come over in the summer, august, september and so on. so the rwanda scheme is something that they're playing politics with. it's a straw man. it isn't going to do anything. >> so the conservatives are getting bashed here from both sides, the left and from sides, from the left and from the right, they're not the right, saying they're not doing this all doing enough. and this is all a big distraction. has big distraction. eddie has written in. he says, i voted labour for over 35 years, but could never trust or vote for them again. they changed their minds weather and that minds like the weather and that is an issue. keir starmer may well next election by well win this next election by default because a default because there is a massive amount of support for the anti tory ticket as it were. lots of people want to boot out the conservatives. it's quite a strong line to say, do you feel better off than you did 13 years ago? a lot of people will say absolutely not. because of the current cost of living crisis, stagnant cetera. et stagnant wages. et cetera. et
2:14 pm
cetera . but our labour actually cetera. but our labour actually offering and i know you don't speak for the labour party, but do you believe that they are offering that really offering anything that really sets apart? so the sets them apart? so the conservatives the conservatives first of all, the reason almost 11 million of reason that almost 11 million of us, we've told are us, we've been told are struggling to pay our bills and let's remember that what is let's remember that is what is really people up really impacting on people up and the country. and down the country. >> it's not because people >> it's not because of people coming boats, whatever coming over on boats, whatever you it 7 million a you think, does it 7 million a day, it doesn't make much difference. the reason is because rampant inflation and because of rampant inflation and the get the government's failure to get a on we talked a handle on that. we talked earlier the rights and earlier about the rights and wrongs the bank of wrongs of the of the bank of england interest rates england raising interest rates as as as far as the leader as far as as far as the leader of labour party is of the labour party is concerned, can understand of the labour party is con(youed, can understand of the labour party is con(you know, can understand of the labour party is con(you know, this understand of the labour party is con(you know, this because|nd and you know, this because you're savvy political , emily, you're savvy political, emily, if you're in opposition, you don't want to go too early with major policies because you don't want them to be nicked by the party in power. and also it is, i think we'd agree keir starmer was election to lose and therefore he is going to be risk averse by that. >> do i do i think that keir starmer is as charismatic like
2:15 pm
him or loathe him as tony blair? >> no, i don't. do i think he's pretty sensible? do i think he's responsible? do i think he is a better bet to solve our economic woes than rishi sunak? yes, do. >> well, he makes ed miliband look charismatic. >> yeah , he does. i mean, >> yeah, he does. i mean, they're not going to do anything of any value or any consequence. they don't have anything that is a vision for the future of the country. it's more immigration , country. it's more immigration, it's more net zero, it's more climate alarmism, it's more wokery , it's more transgenderism wokery, it's more transgenderism , it's more of the running down of the excellence in schools. so identity politics i'm very worried about when it comes to the labor party, a lot of people are indeed. >> i mean, we've seen not just when it comes to gender issues, but of course race issues but of course race, race issues as well. it does seem the as well. it does seem like the labour party us to take us labour party wants us to take us down even more of a dangerous route. we've email route. so we've got an email from andrew slippery from andrew saying slippery starmer he'll tackle starmer might say he'll tackle immigration flip immigration now, but would flip flop borders and waving flop to open borders and waving all migrants in once in power.
2:16 pm
people believe this stuff, people do believe this stuff, matthew she matthew is matthew and she says matthew is being because he being disingenuous because he knows that safe and knows darned well that safe and legal an open legal routes would be an open invitation more floods invitation to even more floods of don't of migrants. yes, i don't believe more legal believe more safe and legal routes stop routes would actually stop people coming over by the channel if they don't have a genuine claim, which is the issue. >> may i just make it what i think is an important point on immigration? yeah, go on. what i would support is properly targeted immigration. so that huge holes that we are told exist in our health care system are filled. the nhs is something that i think should be free at the point of delivery and maybe we'll talk about this later on, but it is something that is on its knees and it's partly on its knees. you could say it's partly because of the pandemic, no doubt is part of it. doubt that is part of it. i would say it's partly because underinvestment, the underinvestment, even though the tories saying the opposite. underinvestment, even though the tori

2:18 pm
compared to saturday. and this is because storm anthony's finally clearing away to the east. looking out to the west, there is an area of high pressure that might just bring something little more something a little bit more settled south on monday. settled for the south on monday. but look through to the but as we look through to the rest of this evening, showers generally and becoming generally easing and becoming more to northern more confined and to northern areas, plenty of clear spells elsewhere. this combined elsewhere. and this combined with light winds, could bring the odd patch of mist and fog for southern and eastern for some southern and eastern areas. but it will also mean that temperatures will drop areas. but it will also mean that tertonight,es will drop areas. but it will also mean that tertonight, morel drop areas. but it will also mean that tertonight, more widely readily tonight, more widely than what saw on saturday than what we saw on saturday night . so areas seeing night. so rural areas seeing those temperatures into those temperatures drop into single figures. this will make for a fresh but bright start to monday with plenty of sunshine around a showers. once again around a few showers. once again across particularly northern areas , heaviest and most areas, heaviest and most frequent across northeastern parts of scotland . but after a parts of scotland. but after a bright start in the south—west, things starting to cloud over as this next area of cloud and rain moves in from the west, but still feeling pleasant in that sunshine throughout monday. now looking to tuesday , plenty of
2:19 pm
looking to tuesday, plenty of cloud and rain once again moving erratically eastwards. quite a lot of low cloud mist and drizzle for western coasts, but dner drizzle for western coasts, but drier and brighter further north. and as we look towards midweek, it does look like things will be warming up with those temperatures getting around to the to maybe even around to the mid to maybe even high . that warm feeling high 20s. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers proud sponsors of weather on gb news

news >> welcome back to gb news sunday with me, emily carver on your tv, online and digital radio. >> so the government is turning to private clinics to cut nhs waiting list. that's what they hope least eight of 13 new hope at least eight of 13 new community diagnostic centres will be operated by the private sector, although services will still be free patients. the still be free to patients. the plans been met with plans have been met with scepticism some experts who scepticism by some experts who say it ignores the root of say that it ignores the root of the campaigners have the problem. campaigners have argued privatisation of the argued it's privatisation of the nhs by the back door. so what is it? joining is dr. gavin it? joining me now is dr. gavin shields, gp and chair the shields, gp and chair of the coventry local medical committee. very much committee. thank you very much indeed , gavin, forjoining us on indeed, gavin, for joining us on the show . so what do you make of the show. so what do you make of these seems these plans? to me, it seems like pragmatism . like pragmatism. >> well, i welcome any successful initiative to reduce the waiting times for my patients . as gps, we know only
2:24 pm
patients. as gps, we know only too full well that that long waiting times causes a huge amount of stress, worry and anxiety and worsening of health as well. for our patients . we as well. for our patients. we know that the waiting times have been increasing. they're very long. we've got over 7 million patients waiting, many of them waiting over a year. so any any successful resource that we can deploy, i would support . i would deploy, i would support. i would say, though, i think we need to remember how we have got here. first of all, we've had chronic underfunding in the nhs. poor planning for workforce and estates . estates. >> gavin can i just interrupt you there? >> just pick you up on that. you say chronic chronic underfunding . last last time i checked, the nhs was not chronically underfunded . it may well be that underfunded. it may well be that the money isn't going to where it's needed, but it has been going up in real terms. every year since the conservatives have been in power. i mean , how have been in power. i mean, how much should we be spending on the nhs? >> well, it's not kept pace with the demand of our patients. that's absolute apparent by the
2:25 pm
number of patients that we've got waiting a long time. it isn't just about the funding though, it is about the staff. i heard you mention earlier about recruiting more staff, but it's about retaining staff as well, andifs about retaining staff as well, and it's about having the estates investment in that. estates and investment in that. so we have not kept pace with demand and we've ended up in a situation when far too many of our patients are waiting far too long and it's having a serious impact on health. and i've impact on their health. and i've got patients having to got patients who are having to spend life savings to pay spend their life savings to pay privately they just privately because they just can't afford to wait any more in pain and distress. i would also say, though, that we can't just increase throughput in one part of the system if we just increase the diagnostics . good increase the diagnostics. good though, that may be we need to increase right across the system because if a patient gets a scan and a diagnosis, then we need to get them to treatment or surgery quickly . so we can't have just quickly. so we can't have just quickly. so we can't have just quick fixes as we need this to be part of a much broader, longer plan. >> gavin, how does it actually work? >> so the government are going

to be using private facility authorities. does the government then pay the private hospitals to do those scans to make those diagnoses? how does it actually work? practically do you know? i don't get involved in the funding side of that myself, but it is there are agreements that were put on hold to a degree dunng were put on hold to a degree during covid. >> but but and but there are agreements to fund the private services for doing it. i would like that to be done at the same price that nhs services are done for. and i don't want this to be a drain on the resources and the staff for the nhs. so that would be my first worry that it might cost a lot more than it would elsewhere for that would be my concern. >> just very quickly, just lastly, while i've got you, how widespread view in the widespread is the view in the medical community that the conservatives are trying to privatise the nhs by the back door? because we hear this? is it a conspiracy theory ? how, it a conspiracy theory? how, how, how, how, yeah. how
2:27 pm
widespread is the belief that thatis widespread is the belief that that is true ? that is true? >> i, i think it's quite widespread. i would have to say . i think a lot of my colleagues feel that and feel quite mistrustful . and i think i think mistrustful. and i think i think that we need really all political parties to absolutely show a commitment to having a health care service that's free at the point of delivery and i genuinely believe that the overwhelm majority of british pubuc overwhelm majority of british public want that . i'm feel that public want that. i'm feel that the changes i've seen in all the years i've been in the nhs , i years i've been in the nhs, i worry that we're increasing massively, moving to a more privately based service and that concerns me greatly. i'm not saying i have a problem with using capacity and resource in the private system , but i think the private system, but i think it needs to be on the background of a commitment to an nhs that is publicly funded and free at the point of access. >> yeah, i think that's i think that's certainly true. people do want that. when you pull them. dr. gavin shields their gp and
2:28 pm
chair of the coventry local medical committee, thank you very indeed. let's see very much indeed. so let's see what make this . what my panel make of all this. um, we're using private services . david. should we go the whole hog and privatise the whole thing? >> well, the thing is, the conservative party have opened the to this long time ago the door to this a long time ago with the health social care. with the health and social care. yes, social care act yes, health and social care act 2012 and tony blair as well. yeah. and tony blair beforehand with pfi initiative where with the pfi initiative where he got private finance to finance the construction of new hospitals and things like that, and that left the some of the buildings and some of the health care areas with terrible contracts where they have to pay through the nose to change a light bulb. you have to pay like £100 to change a light bulb or something. you know, which actually is a drain on nhs is isn't best at negotiating isn't the best at negotiating contracts. exactly . so, so contracts. no, exactly. so, so this has been going on for a long time under labour and then under the conservatives, you have companies like virgin care, for example , taking over certain for example, taking over certain bits of children's care and
2:29 pm
health services and yeah , they health services and yeah, they were good. they do a good job, but the nhs has to pay for them. the question is, are they getting better service for less ' pay getting better service for less , pay for a better price ? yes. , pay for a better price? yes. i don't think they are going to get a lower price if they go private and bring privatisation into the nhs . the thing is now into the nhs. the thing is now you've got 7.4 million in a backlog. what we need to do is just clear that backlog . just clear that backlog. >> however it's done, clear it, just clear it, clear it like that. >> but yes, using private resources may well be the right way to when it comes to this. way to go when it comes to this. matthew people watching at matthew more people watching at home and listening to this show aren't buying the idea that the nhs is chronically underfunded and they just don't buy it anymore. we've been told so many years that if only we put a bit more money into the nhs, it will suddenly have fantastic outcomes and all will be well. i think more and more people are clocking on to the idea that maybe the nhs needs a little bit more than that . more than that. >> do people, do people at home really think that there are 7.5
2:30 pm
million people, some of whom will be watching this show languishing on waiting lists with their wider health deteriorate in some cases as a consequence, because because somehow doctors and nurses are idle, that they're sitting on their bums. >> no one thinks they're either the or the managers are so useless. >> i'm not someone who some people do my question, my people do ask my question, my opinion, my view is that the opinion, my view is, is that the nhs shouldn't be treated as a holy cow in the sense that it's not sacred where we think that standards are poor, that should be brought to wider attention . be brought to wider attention. i've had lots of experience recently of the nhs. some of it has been good, some of it has been bad. let like i think a majority of the viewers, but i'm not assuming what they believe . not assuming what they believe. i it should be free i do believe it should be free at the point of delivery. i am not an ideologue, dr. not an ideologue, just as dr. shields when it comes to shields wasn't when it comes to using private resources in terms of providing enough space so that we can actually treat people right, that seems to me okay. what i think is surprising
2:31 pm
is that the conservative lives have actually lagged behind on that. while these waiting lists have growing. whereas that. while these waiting lists have shadow1g. whereas that. while these waiting lists have shadow healthereas labour's shadow health secretary, wes streeting, he's been quite clear, i think, for some time that you can use private resources choices to make sure that we drive these waiting lists down. he has he has actually sounded reasonably sensible, but a lot of people have been writing in just saying, we always blame saying, why do we always blame the government? >> is true. we >> because this is true. we always seem to blame the government when the nhs isn't working and of working the backlog. and of course do contribute to course they do contribute to decisions made. but decisions that are made. but but for has written for example, john has written in, the nhs has senior in, he says the nhs has senior management . so what they do? in, he says the nhs has senior man.do ment . so what they do? in, he says the nhs has senior man.do we 1t . so what they do? in, he says the nhs has senior man.do we notso what they do? in, he says the nhs has senior man.do we not hear1at they do? in, he says the nhs has senior man.do we not hear about they do? in, he says the nhs has senior man.do we not hear about what do? why do we not hear about what their plans are? why is it the government being blamed? government always being blamed? they on a daily they don't run it on a daily bafis they don't run it on a daily basis and i think there's quite a lot of truth to that. secretary state health secretary of state for health cannot from cannot micromanage the nhs from the top down. it is up to management to work out how things should we had things should be. we had a workforce that years workforce plan that was years and late. so who do and years too late. so who do you for the state of the you blame for the state of the nhs? know. you're nhs? let me know. you're watching listening news watching or listening to gb news sunday emily carver.

2:37 pm
2:38 pm
>> welcome back to gb news sunday with me, emily carver on your tv online and radio. so a lot of you have been getting in touch about the using private facilities the government is planning to do to try and cut down those backlogs , which i down on those backlogs, which i think 7.4 million now, which think are 7.4 million now, which is quite incredible. 1 in 8 people in the country are on a waiting list, which is staggering . king john says the staggering. king john says the nhs has run poorly by design . nhs has run poorly by design. the more money given, the more syphoned off. simple make people more accountable . problem more accountable. problem solved. says. people go on solved. gary says. people go on about the tories privatisation , about the tories privatisation, but was under the tony blair but it was under the tony blair labour government blair labour government when blair gave go ahead gave andy burnham the go ahead to out the first privatised to give out the first privatised contracts we go. but contracts. so there we go. but ray says the nhs is chronically overstaffed, not chronically underfunded . interesting. underfunded. interesting. perhaps you're talking about management . there are several management. there are several layers management than
2:39 pm
layers of management rather than the nurses doctors which we the nurses and doctors which we don't seem to have enough of. i think that's fair to say. at least there seem to be massive staffing gaps. but let's move on. keep, keep your thoughts coming nhs. i think coming in on the nhs. i think it's of those issues that it's one of those issues that everyone to have have an everyone seems to have have an answer seem have answer about. they seem to have answer about. they seem to have a you know, an idea on how it could be fixed and transformed into something because into something better, because it doing it certainly isn't isn't doing a brilliant job at the moment. but anyway, it seems to all it seems to all be coming home to roost for greenpeace actually, after their at prime their stunt at the prime minister's yorkshire yes, minister's yorkshire home. yes, after staging a mass stunt draping banners, banners draping banners, black banners over sunaks many over rishi sunaks home, many are calling greenpeace to be calling for greenpeace to be blacklisted altogether, including the environment secretary, coffey . it's secretary, therese coffey. it's the in a sequence of the latest in a sequence of climate protest actions in recent extreme recent months, with extreme measures now being considered, so should climate groups be designated as eco terrorist ? designated as eco terrorist? that's right. joining me now is donna mccarthy, director of the climate media coalition . i climate media coalition. i wonder what you're going to say about seem to about this. they do seem to fulfil some of the definition of
2:40 pm
what means to behave like what it means to behave like a terrorist, unlawful use of violence and intimidation , violence and intimidation, especially against civilians in the pursuit of political aims. that sometimes doesn't that sometimes happens, doesn't it ? it? >> i think that's an extraordinary, outrageous accusation for peaceful protesters who are trying to protect our climate . it's quite protect our climate. it's quite clear the united nations general secretary said it's people like sunak who are actually advocating more fossil fuels, who are the real eco terrorists here. the response around his response to the extraordinary impacts are coming through across the planet with record temperatures on land. we've had record temperatures on the ocean, record wildfires and the response from rishi sunak has been to drive more , drill more been to drive more, drill more and fly more. it's actually extra ordinary thing what his proposal that we should max out fossil fuels one which is against the advice of the un, the united nations, the international panel on climate change and the who. is that actually he's actually telling every country in the to world
2:41 pm
max out their fossil fuels, which is that disaster for britain. do you think we have that much influence on what china, middle east do china, india, middle east do when oil and gas , when it comes to oil and gas, when it comes to oil and gas, when we're one of the richest countries in the world and we're saying despite being one of the richest the world, richest countries in the world, we're to demise, we're going to max demise, exploitation fuels, exploitation of fossil fuels, rather investing in rather than investing in cheapen cheaper, greener british renewable is what we're telling every other poorer country in the world is to actually do the same. regards our same. and as regards our position in the world, as regards china, britain is centre of world's one of the major of the world's one of the major centres of the world's fossil fuel funding centres , is 15% of fuel funding centres, is 15% of global investments in fossil fuels come from the city of london 50% of insurance for the fossil fuel industry comes from london and a significant amount of the period. we are a huge centre for the oil industry and we need to act and provide leadership to save britain. one of things, emily, don't of the things, emily, i don't know if you've ever read margaret thatcher is speech to the united nations in it's the united nations in 89. it's an amazing speech. and actually it's something we really should
2:42 pm
look at in the light of what rishi sunak is doing. she warned in 1989 that if we didn't act on climate, we would face temperatures that breached 100,000 that were hotter than 100,000 that were hotter than 100,000 years ago. that has now happened. we've passed 125,000 year mark. as thatcher warned . i year mark. as thatcher warned. i think she'd be horrified. >> donica i do. i do. >>— >> donica i do. i do. >> that's a that's a very clever tactic, bringing in margaret thatcher, because i'm i'm sure that assume that i'm a a big that you assume that i'm a a big fan of the iron lady. quite a good, good tactic there. but donica do you think that sometimes these stunts and i do think they're intimidating and can actually put people off. we've talked about this before , we've talked about this before, but i do genuinely think that people are more likely to support more oil and gas exploration in the north sea when they see things like this, because does appear like because it does appear like these greenpeace protesters are totally out of touch . this is an totally out of touch. this is an industry that employs thousands of people . we're importing oil of people. we're importing oil and gas from abroad anyway ,
2:43 pm
and gas from abroad anyway, these oil and gas companies, if they stop drilling in the north sea, aren't going to stop. they'll move elsewhere. they'll move to indonesia, they'll move to areas of the middle east, they'll to other countries they'll move to other countries around the world where they're allowed drilling. so allowed to keep drilling. so even stopped oil and gas even if we stopped oil and gas exploration tomorrow, it wouldn't any impact on wouldn't have any impact on climate change, would it ? climate change, would it? >> of course it would. what we're actually facing we're what actually we're facing is the international financial industry is pouring between 5 and $6 trillion in new fossil fuels. when we can't afford to burn half of what we've got already, according to the international energy agency, if that $6 trillion was invested instead in saving the planet in renewables , in storage, in renewables, in storage, in energy efficiency , britain would energy efficiency, britain would have cheaper bills , a greener, have cheaper bills, a greener, a green, greener electricity supply, and we would have a future for our kids. it is insanity to be actually drilling for new oil and gas well. >> donica. i wish the government had invested more in nuclear energy because that could have sustained our lifestyles. i do worry that renewables alone
2:44 pm
won't to. that's the won't be able to. that's the wind . the solar. cetera. et wind. the solar. et cetera. et cetera. but thank you much cetera. but thank you very much indeed. we'll indeed. donica. we'll speak again. mccarthy again. i'm sure. donica mccarthy there. director of climate there. director of the climate media coalition and a friend of the show, it seems. thank you very much for your time. so let's see what my panel think about this. you know, don't about this. you know, i don't think much of a think it's that much of a stretch, matthew, that stretch, matthew, to say that actually groups actually these groups are behaving terrorists. behaving a bit like terrorists. i trying to i mean, they're trying to intimidate in order to intimidate people in order to pursue their political objectives are objectives lives. they are certainly rishi sunak i >>i >> i mean, let's be completely straightforward about this. and you use that old fashioned expression, common sense is so often bandied around on gb news. these guys are not trying to be violent. they're not violent. they're the opposite of violent. however there although i don't think branded think they should be branded terrorists, thought was terrorists, i thought it was a disgraceful do. rishi disgraceful thing to do. rishi sunak une disgraceful thing to do. rishi sunak line for you, sunak that was a line for you, was it ? well, there plenty was it? well, there are plenty of lines. it's not their first line. i didn't think that that person who orange confetti person who threw orange confetti on osborne his wedding on george osborne at his wedding and fan of george and i'm not a fan of george osborne or his or his policies. >> to make they
2:45 pm
>> they managed to make they managed make people feel managed to make people feel sorry osborne, which sorry for george osborne, which is think you is quite i don't think you should throwing should be throwing orange confetti, it's sort confetti, even though it's sort of harmless. >> i think you should be throwing that anyone. look throwing that on anyone. look the rishi sunak is the point about rishi sunak is he's and i he's got two daughters, and i don't you should be don't think you should be targeting his house, even if he didn't daughters. didn't have two daughters. but also about rishi sunak didn't have two daughters. but also his about rishi sunak didn't have two daughters. but also his daughters ut rishi sunak didn't have two daughters. but also his daughters is rishi sunak didn't have two daughters. but also his daughters is you'llsunak didn't have two daughters. but also his daughters is you'll have and his daughters is you'll have seen the footage this week that was again of him trying was played again of him trying to leader in the first to become leader in the first place, i think against liz truss last what was rishi last summer. and what was rishi sunak he's saying sunak saying? he's saying i've got daughters, young got daughters, i've got young daughters. leave the daughters. i want to leave the world greener for them. world a greener place for them. he a sustainable future he wanted a sustainable future for family. do think for his family. so do i think that sunak, as monica that rishi sunak, as monica said, eco terrorist? i don't. >> not rishi sunak oh, no, he did say that. yes, yes, yes. >> do i think do i agree with him on that? no, i don't do i think rishi sunak is being incredibly irresponsible for narrow, party narrow, personal and party political or perceived political gain or perceived party political yes, i do party political gain? yes, i do , david. >> these groups bordering on >> all these groups bordering on eco terrorism , should they be eco terrorism, should they be proscribed or would that be completely ridiculous over the
2:46 pm
top? >> they're annoying and they're disruptive. and i think what they've going to they've done here, going to someone's crosses line. someone's house crosses a line. they that. is they shouldn't do that. this is someone's private like someone's private property, like you have. he has you said they have. he has a family, they should family, so they should absolutely be doing this. i absolutely not be doing this. i mean, another thing with the confetti wedding , you confetti at the wedding, you don't disturb people's weddings and disturb people's and you don't disturb people's funerals. i think that's absolutely despicable. but i think in terms of what they've been doing, of the groups been doing, some of the groups like this in their more public actions has been more actions has been even more disruptive. when they get the disruptive. when they get on the roads they ambulances roads and they stop ambulances from through, they stop from getting through, they stop fire going through. fire engines from going through. they people cars . yeah. they stop people in cars. yeah. so prevented from so people are prevented from going to business meetings , going to business meetings, going to business meetings, going on holidays, getting to hospital appointments and all these kind of things, which has massively disruptive to everybody. and that is absolutely deplorable as well . absolutely deplorable as well. >> can just say on that point? >> can i just say on that point? yeah would not yeah i personally would not choose to go on slow marches on on roads, partly because i don't think it's for me to decide. i know what is best. i'm happy to come on a show like this and
2:47 pm
tell you what i think, but i don't think i should enforce that. on other people. also, i would not be want to be responsible for someone not to be able to get to hospital or someone to be able to get to someone not to be able to get to their funeral. so that's their parents funeral. so that's why do it. however why i wouldn't do it. however and i think should all and i think we should all acknowledge is what they acknowledge this is what they are is giving far are doing is giving far, far more coverage to the environment than weren't doing than if they weren't doing it. we guarantee you, not we would, i guarantee you, not be about this now, be talking about this now, not be talking about this now, not be talking about this now, not be talking the environment be talking about the environment if what if they weren't doing what they're support they're doing, support for oil and exploration has actually and gas exploration has actually risen weeks, risen in the last few weeks, according polling up. according to polling up. >> don't have the numbers to >> i don't have the numbers to hand, but i'll dig them out later because it's quite interesting it's interesting because it's actually attention interesting because it's actu big attention interesting because it's actu big an attention interesting because it's actu big an industryention interesting because it's actu big an industry ittion interesting because it's actu big an industry ittio and how big an industry it is and how, you know, people worry about security . you about energy security. so, you know, works, know, i don't think it works, but nice to hear that you but it's nice to hear that you don't want to oppose. >> nice to hear that you >> it's nice to hear that you can your i know i can bring your polls. i know i should have had my with should have had my polls with me, but it is nice to hear that you don't to impose your you don't wish to impose your views on anyone. >> we all believe in democracy. so there but anyway, so there you go. but anyway, let's finish off the show with
2:48 pm
some royal some royal some royal gossip, some royal news. have been news. the sussexes have been getting a lot of bad getting rather a lot of bad press recently. they were reportedly snubbed by king charles as they didn't receive an invite to balmoral this september, anniversary of an invite to balmoral this septenelizabeth's anniversary of an invite to balmoral this septenelizabeth's passing. ;ary of an invite to balmoral this septenelizabeth's passing. so of queen elizabeth's passing. so even though prince andrew is expected attendance, no expected to be in attendance, no invite harry invite was extended to harry and meghan . they're hot meghan. they're also in hot water after feuding with posh and . that's about leaking and becks. that's about leaking royal stories . i and becks. that's about leaking royal stories. i think and becks. that's about leaking royal stories . i think that's royal stories. i think that's the accusation. anyway, there is a good news for the a sliver of good news for the couple actually joining me now is charles rea, former royal correspondent for the thank correspondent for the sun. thank you very much indeed, charles. now, your former paper , the sun now, your former paper, the sun here, is splashing . where is it? here, is splashing. where is it? i've lost the page. is splashing on how the couple, harry and meghan , have secured a £3 meghan, have secured a £3 million deal with netflix . um, million deal with netflix. um, this book, they're going to be producing a tv version of book? >> yes. well, it looks like they've splashed out this £3 million, as you say, to a lady called the aptly named carly
2:49 pm
fortune , who's now clearly in fortune, who's now clearly in the money. she has written a book, former journalist and the money. she has written a book, formerjournalist and now book, former journalist and now turned author to meet me at the lake and they're going to produce this this book into a film . um well they hope that's film. um well they hope that's going to happen. but remarked it has an awful lot of parallels with the actual royal couple themselves themes present in this book include secrets and lies, love and sacrifice , lies, love and sacrifice, working life balance, mental health, drugs, alcohol, working life balance, mental health, drugs, alcohol , the health, drugs, alcohol, the death of a parent, the abandonment, depression , sick abandonment, depression, sick child and absentee parents. you'd think at one stage. oh, and also part of it is sent in, is set in toronto, as we know. meghan lived in toronto as well. so so you'd think that carly and i'm sure she didn't actually used harry and meghan as a model for her book, which has sold, i have to say, sold a remarkable
2:50 pm
amount of copies , 37,000 in the amount of copies, 37,000 in the first week it was released in may, but there's an awful lot of top notch hollywood producers questioning whether her publishers should have gone for harry and meghan, who are in effect, novice producers and never produced anything . and never produced anything. and they've been in front of the camera . um, but this is their camera. um, but this is their first, you know, delve into fiction, although some people say that they've already delved into fiction with their netflix series on smashing the royal family um, so it's interesting that we have to wait and see. and of course they've bought this book. emily when all of hollywood is at a standstill, you know, the writers are on strike. nothing's going to happen. they're already talking about this is going to go on until christmas. so god knows when. what's going to start on this. and also, they've received criticism. don't forget , from criticism. don't forget, from the of spotify and spotify the head of spotify and spotify dumped them . the head of spotify dumped them. the head of spotify called them a pair of grifters,
2:51 pm
