9:35 am
plan a staggering admission of 13 years of tory failure on policing and crime . there you policing and crime. there you go. so in the studio with us now is political commentator pierce pottinger, who joins us. thank you very much indeed. let's start with this. we've got lots of political stories this morning. amount on this morning. a huge amount on this bank monday to get bank holiday monday to get through let's with through. so let's start with this from home secretary this from the home secretary police investigate every police must investigate every crime . i remember maybe it was crime. i remember maybe it was a month or so chief month or so ago, chief constables came out and said the month or so ago, chief cons same came out and said the month or so ago, chief cons same thing. out and said the month or so ago, chief cons same thing. they nd said the month or so ago, chief cons same thing. they said aid the month or so ago, chief cons same thing. they said they|e very same thing. they said they were doing this. were committed to doing this. >> . and it's a good thing. >> yes. and it's a good thing. and i think everyone wants the police investigate crime . i police to investigate crime. i mean, figures at the moment mean, the figures at the moment for unsolved crime are really amazing in many cases. no burglaries, no thefts are being investigated. and also , i think investigated. and also, i think the police are being asked to do things that are really not in the normal sphere of policing. a lot of the work they do involves things like hate crimes, which is a growing area for them and takes up an enormous amount of
9:36 am
time and paperwork. takes up an enormous amount of time and paperwork . and i think time and paperwork. and i think everyone in the country would like to see the police doing theirjob solving crime that their job solving crime that affects so many people . well, i affects so many people. well, i mean, in our street in wandsworth, we've my car was burgled twice last week and you report it to the police and that's they make a note of it a bit of paperwork. nothing happens. people bit of paperwork. nothing happens . people want bit of paperwork. nothing happens. people want crime solved . solved. >> and it is extraordinary, though , that sort of the though, that sort of the government are almost admitting failure on this point . failure on this point. >> you've got the home secretary talking to anecdotes much like yours on the front page of the telegraph today, saying that people are very often given a police crime reference number and then told go on your merry way. i mean, this surely from a political communications perspective, it's maybe not the best thing for the government to best thing for the government to be highlighting. >> well, i mean labour do have a point 13 years, hasn't we haven't seen any progress and
9:37 am
generally i think people's trust in the police for all sorts of reasons is at an all time low and the basic reason is they do not seem to be seen to be doing theirjob. i mean , the bobby on theirjob. i mean, the bobby on theirjob. i mean, the bobby on the beat has long since gone, except for one town up in york , except for one town up in york, cheshire, where they brought one back and they halved crime in that town by 48. wow. it was an extraordinary move . and it shows extraordinary move. and it shows that the police, when they are doing their job, can have a very serious effect on crime. but i do think an awful lot of the problem comes from the fact that police are being asked to do things that are not actually really under their. that's i think that's true. >> but a lot of people are furious that the conservative government under theresa may did decide, or at least when she was home secretary, did decide to reduce numbers to save money. and i don't think i'm the only one who genuinely feels less safe . you know, when you go to
9:38 am
safe. you know, when you go to the ballot box and they say, do you feel better than you did 13 years ago? and people say, no, okay, i'm not going to vote conservative, perhaps. but also, do safer than you did do you feel safer than you did 13 because it does 13 years ago? because it does feel and maybe this is just feel like and maybe this is just in our big cities, but does in our big cities, but it does feel there is a it's just feel like there is a it's just not as safe as it used to be. and it is that presence of police officers not being there. i think i think i think you're absolutely right. >> we need more police . and >> and we need more police. and if some of the other things that suella is talking suella braverman is talking about come into play like electronic tagging of illegal immigrants , someone's got to immigrants, someone's got to monitor that. someone's got to police that. and that's another you're asking the police to do more and more things . again, more and more things. again, i think maybe one should have a look at the structure of the police force. and i think there is a case for splitting it into two to have one section which are revenue raising, doing things like speeding fines, traffic offences. oh, and then have you're in dodgy territory
9:39 am
there have the and then have a second section of the police that are focussed on solving fighting crime. >> i worry that if we if we look at the to the police to be a revenue raising sort of body, we might sort of go down the american route almost where if they lock more people up, they get more federal funding for certain things and suddenly you get trivial sorts of get very trivial sorts of perhaps one of the issues incentive is we've seen very often heavy handed policing responses to things that are potentially the lowest down on the list of seriousness, people turning up at people's doors for tweets that they've sent a whole host of police officers descending on one autistic child because she happened to call one police officer a lesbian. i mean, all of this sort of stuff seems to get a lot of police involved, whereas retrieving an iphone from some place where you can see it on the map in the middle of a big city and the police won't go there. yeah, i wonder if the police at the moment are already going after
9:40 am
sort of the easy things to do to and the more difficult things they sort of shy away from. >> and again, they are they're compelled failed to do so much paperwork. that's when they shy away. they think, oh, this is to going take too much time to write up and report. but by the way, the police are already revenue raising. i mean, they do that. and how often have you heard a driver saying, why aren't out catching aren't you out catching criminals rather than stopping me for going at 22 miles an hour in a 20 mile an hour limit? i mean, the fact is, if the policeman was able to say, well, actually, my job is not to do that, it's a different kind of job, it would, i think, take pressure off some of the police who are in extremely sensitive to criticism , arm themselves as to criticism, arm themselves as more and more people these days are . they're so easily offended are. they're so easily offended by everything . and it's by everything. and it's a minefield for the average policeman when he's going or her duty going about their duty in terms of what they can and
9:41 am
cannot do. >> now, the home office seemed to be tying themselves in knots or at least having a little bit of trouble when it comes to how to deal with migrants crossing over by small boat. now, the illegal migration bill says that anyone who does so must be detained while a decision is made or while they're then going to be deported to a third country, rwanda. it's supposed to be, but we'll see. but we don't have any. >> but turns base, but we >> but it turns base, but we don't any prisons space. don't have any prisons space. >> also they're >> but also now they're thinking, oh, what can we do instead? tagging come instead? and tagging has come up. but there's problem there up. but there's a problem there too, there? we don't too, isn't there? we don't have enough tags. >> well , i enough tags. >> well, i mean, they enough tags. >> well , i mean, they they'll >> well, i mean, they they'll soon be room. >> don't forget the bibby stockholm homes nearly ready for action again. that'd be very entertaining, i'm sure. but no, i mean the tagging thing, first of all, a determined criminal simply removes the tag and disappears again when you're having a huge tagging operation . action that is expensive and
9:42 am
involves it's very time consuming to monitor because someone has to monitor the tag, not just allow someone to wander around with it and also are they going to be homeless? you've still got to put these people even though they've got a tag somewhere , so they're going to somewhere, so they're going to have somewhere. somewhere, so they're going to hav good1ewhere. somewhere, so they're going to hav good idea, re. somewhere, so they're going to hav good idea, though, somewhere, so they're going to havgood idea, though, if somewhere, so they're going to hav good idea, though, if they're >> good idea, though, if they're undocumented and we don't know yet exactly they are and we yet who exactly they are and we don't know what their status will be they're waiting to will be and they're waiting to be if ever be deported if that ever happens, to be happens, which we remain to be seen, rwanda will ever seen, if rwanda will ever happen. surely good for happen. but surely it's good for security, safety to security, good for safety to have an idea where they are have an idea of where they are with trackers. surely with these gps trackers. surely it's not beyond the wit of man to law? or is there to make more law? or is there something morally dubious about this? >> e- g i don't know that >> i don't i don't know that there's something morally dubious i'm sure dubious about it, but i'm sure a lot rights campaigners lot of human rights campaigners and ngos say this is and ngos will say this is restricting people's freedom . restricting people's freedom. and but if they're in a detention centre, they're very restricted . so yes, you could restricted. so yes, you could say it gives them more freedom. but again, i go back to the point they've still got to live somewhere. are just going to somewhere. are we just going to
9:43 am
have homeless have thousands of homeless people around with people wandering around with tags? that's ridiculous. tags? that's surely ridiculous. >> is all a function of >> and it is all a function of the fact we're taking two the fact that we're taking two years some cases process years in some cases to process these people rather than making a saying, are you a quick decision saying, are you a quick decision saying, are you a legitimate refugee ? a legitimate refugee? >> good. stay here and >> good. then stay here and either actually, probably, preferably go and get a job. there are lots of there are lots of vacancies in this country infuriatingly there are potentially hundreds of thousands of job vacancies in this country, particularly for low skilled work. and yet we have all of these people sitting in this state of limbo, unable to work, forced to be put up by the taxpayers, where we really disagree here. >> pierce because i don't think that you can allow people who have come illegally to this country to work when we have a visa system. it makes an entire mockery of it. or so many people are undocumented . you can't just are undocumented. you can't just have people who you're not sure of their identity working in small businesses around country. >> then we deport the ones >> then we can deport the ones who illegitimate, keep the who are illegitimate, keep the ones are legitimate, and let ones who are legitimate, and let the ones who are legitimate
9:44 am
work. >> but the whole point of the illegal migration bill is if it ever fruition, that ever comes to fruition, is that if arrive by that means then if you arrive by that means then you're automatically deported to rwanda back home or to a rwanda or back home or to a third country. >> a few thousand. >> got a few thousand. >> got a few thousand. >> if you them work, then >> if you let them work, then that completely is contradictory with plan. with the government's plan. >> think you're just >> well, i think you're just demonstrating complex this demonstrating how complex this issue is. it's not a straightforward forward as as one would like it to be. also, in terms of processing these asylum seekers , they have to go asylum seekers, they have to go through a very long process and tracking down background and verifying their claims is a painstaking business and normally also obstructed by dubious lawyers representing some of these people . and again, some of these people. and again, 111 is amazed at how they are able to afford these lawyers . able to afford these lawyers. >> it's staggering. we used to do this in a week. we used to get these cases seen to in a week, and now it takes up to two years. now putting someone on a barge for a week, i don't think anyone can have a problem with.
9:45 am
but having someone on a barge for years, you can see for two years, you can see why these and why these groups then and why the fire brigades union and why everyone starts to get in a everyone else starts to get in a tizzy about so much to talk tizzy about it. so much to talk about there. but course, the about there. but of course, the other that broke other enormous story that broke over weekend was after other enormous story that broke over 80 eekend was after other enormous story that broke over 80 days,d was after other enormous story that broke over 80 days, theas after other enormous story that broke over 80 days, the immediate around 80 days, the immediate resignation of nadine dorries from parliament has come into fruition or at least it will, we assume, when parliament returns next week. >> yeah, well, i mean, nadine dorries is this is a very carefully orchestrated promotional campaign for her book, which she's relying on being a best seller. harpercollins are publishing it on the 28th of september and a surprise hinckley that's going to coincide probably with the by—election and just before the conservative party conference. it's all designed to have maximum impact, not to promote her book, which is called the plot. and that's not about a piece of land somewhere. it's supposedly a sinister plot to get rid of boris johnson's plot
9:46 am
and i actually thought boris johnson had to leave because he misled parliament on more than one occasion. and but no doubt, nadine's explosive book, as it's described , will be extremely described, will be extremely exciting and interesting . and i exciting and interesting. and i a lot of people, a lot of people at home might think, hang on, nadine dorries is actually someone who a lot of people who've worked with her has said is hard working, diligent is a very hard working, diligent minister, someone who's served in a long, long time. >> and has some very legitimate concerns about the way in which many of of our recent prime many of our of our recent prime ministers have been removed, not by people , but plots by the people, but by plots within parliament. >> well, yeah, i mean, she's trying to make it all sound much more sinister than it is. also her ministerial experience. i mean, she's asking what rishi has achieved, what she achieved , and absolutely nothing . and my , and absolutely nothing. and my sources in the department of culture and dcms, where she was secretary of state , would
9:47 am
secretary of state, would disagree with you about her being an effective and good leader. >> well, she increased her majority drastically , although majority drastically, although she would probably say that was thanks to boris johnson. of course . but. so you think it's course. but. so you think it's all about nadine? it's nadine. nadine. nadine. she wants to make a quick buck. >> look, she's. she's sour grapes because she didn't get a peerage. i mean , she. she talks peerage. i mean, she. she talks as if she was, you know, it's outrageous she didn't get one. i'm sorry. it's a big honour. and she wasn't bestowed with one. and personally , i don't one. and personally, i don't think she earned a period . think she earned a period. >> hang on. she she she grew up with a very, very difficult background council state in liverpool without her parents and, and she worked her way up to be a successful businesswoman, a bestselling author, a conservative mp, a health minister, a culture minister. she's achieved a lot more than a lot of people who've got a lot of gongs. >> she's achieved. yes a lot from given her background, but lots of people with bad backgrounds do achieve are
9:48 am
achievers. it drives them forward. >> in david cameron's hairdresser got a got a gong well that is absurd as well of course . coui'se. >> course. >> i mean i think maybe you're harsh on nadine. i know that she has become a bit of a well, someone to bash . a lot of people someone to bash. a lot of people take a lot of enjoyment in criticising nadine dorries, but a lot of people watching and i remember when boris was remember when boris johnson was ousted , removed, whatever you ousted, removed, whatever you want a lot of people want to call it, a lot of people felt this was totally undemocratic and they saw nadine dorries as being loyal to boris johnson, who had of course won a stonking majority 80. and the people didn't get a say on liz truss. they didn't get a say on rishi sunak . and so can you see rishi sunak. and so can you see that argument? >> well, when you say the people didn't get a say, the conservative party members did get a say and they are the leaders . those people you're leaders. those people you're talking about are leaders of the party in power. so i'm sorry, i don't i don't agree with that. and nadine dorries is a
9:49 am
self—promoter and she's a very effective one because she's engaged , saying she knows how to engaged, saying she knows how to communicate it and that is certainly a strength. but what she's doing here with the timing of the resignation, you know, pick a quiet weekend in august when there's no news time, it perfect only for the by—election and the publication of the book to happen at the most embarrassing time for the government. i'm sorry. it's a deliberate attempt to and of course, the book will be serialised and probably in the same paper where boris has a column. so there'll be it's quite cruel of to her steen's resignation letter popped up as well. >> same paper. we will have to leave this conversation here, but i do think you do raise a valid point where nadine criticised , of course, rishi criticised, of course, rishi sunak for raising national insurance, criticised the tax burden for rising a lot of the sort of perhaps less
9:50 am
conservative things. of course these are all things that happened under boris johnson. so, perhaps they should make so, so perhaps they should make a few, a few decent points about us not making the most of brexit when it comes to regulation and also bbc. >> yes, no licence fee reform . >> yes, no licence fee reform. so that's true. but piers, thank you so much forjoining us this morning. >> and what a wide array of things we've had to talk about. who says bank holiday mondays are quiet ? are quiet? >> yes. so the wagner boss, yevgeny prigozhin, has been formally identified as one of the ten who perished in a plane crash last week by russia's investigative committee on wednesday, prigozhin has private jet crashed just northwest of moscow, killing all ten passengers. yes. so since the incident, the kremlin has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, despite much speculation. >> so who was prigozhin and what does his death mean for the wagner group well, the political and russia commentator danny armstrong joins us. and danny , armstrong joins us. and danny, first of all, i think a lot of
9:51 am
people are struggling to get their heads around particularly what was prigozhin's relationship to vladimir putin. was he a close ally who turned against him or was his sort of march on moscow two months ago? more about the armed forces, rather than putin's role himself i >> -- >> well, yeah, you're absolutely right, tom. i'll pick up on the second part of what you just said. there a lot of people don't understand that this mutiny, whatever you mutiny, this coup, whatever you want it, was actually want to call it, was actually nothing vladimir nothing to do with vladimir putin. never a plan to putin. it was never a plan to depose him. it it was never depose him. it was it was never a challenge to his power. the plan yevgeny prigozhin, of plan of yevgeny prigozhin, of course, to actually course, was never to actually replace vladimir putin the replace vladimir putin as the president russia . what was president of russia. what it was against, was against the against, it was against the ministry of defence , namely ministry of defence, namely sergey shoygu , the defence sergey shoygu, the defence minister, and valery gerasimov, of course , who is in control of of course, who is in control of russia's operations in ukraine now , yevgeny prigozhin is now, yevgeny prigozhin is something of a complex character . vladimir putin, who who
9:52 am
offered his condolences to the families of those that have perished in the plane crash named yevgeny prigozhin. as someone that you knew well, he'd known him since around about the 1990s. of course, we know 1990s. and of course, we know that was when in that time in russia was when in many state companies , many many state companies, many pieces of russia that had been under state control was carved up and kind of sold to the highest bidder. that's where he made his fortune . he owned made his fortune. he owned a chain of restaurants. he was known as the chef of vladimir putin. that's not because he was cooking him his breakfast, dinner, tea or breakfast lunch or dinner, whichever your preference is over. that it's because he owned many an establishment that was frequented by the russian elite. this was how he made his name. and then he became the head of the wagner pmc . now, just two the wagner pmc. now, just two months ago, or two months before the actual plane crash, whether it was a crash or whether it was an explosion on board that caused the plane to be downed, is still up for debate. of
9:53 am
course, the russian investigative committee is an arm of the kremlin. it is completely kremlin controlled . completely kremlin controlled. and so we'd be a fool to take anything that they say or any findings that they give at face value that would be the same for any organ of any government . any organ of any government. however, have produced however, they have produced the results that yevgeny results and said that yevgeny prigozhin is one of those bodies that has been identified . and that has been identified. and there's a couple of things that stick out to me now. the first one is that this isn't the first time that it's happened to yevgeny prigozhin that he's been reported plane crash. reported dead in a plane crash. it in 2019 when was it happened in 2019 when he was making back from africa. making his way back from africa. back he resurfaced a few back then, he resurfaced a few days later. but this is different because the the different because the state, the russian announced russian state has announced that he officially dead. and it he is officially dead. and it would be extremely it would cause some red faces if, of course, he reappeared in a few days. so that is quite significant. also, the other thing is when vladimir putin was offering his condolences, it was the first time since the mutiny to the plane crash that he'd referred to yevgeny prigozhin by
9:54 am
name. now, he hadn't done that before , since the mutiny he has before, since the mutiny he has done that, characterised stickly about navalny . yevgeny about alexei navalny. yevgeny prigozhin was one as well because he mounted his first serious threat to vladimir putin in the time he's been in power. that was significant because he saw him as a threat . now, saw him as a threat. now, whether he referred to him by whether he he referred to him by name he knows now he name because he knows now he won't be a threat because he's dead and that be quite dead and that could be quite a significant freudian slip. now whether that's true or not, that's another matter. there's lots of speculation surrounding this incident. >> thank you, danny. sadly, we're squeezed for time. i have so many questions i wanted to ask so hopefully we can ask you so hopefully we can speak very much speak again. thank you very much indeed your time. danny indeed for your time. danny armstrong, are lots armstrong, there are lots to talk armstrong, there are lots to talifascinating stuff . i just >> fascinating stuff. i just can't get my head over how normally what is a very slow end of has turned into an of august has turned into an incredibly day. so incredibly busy news day. so much about . so much more much to talk about. so much more coming up on the program. so don't anywhere. we'll be don't go anywhere. we'll be back after this . after this. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather

10:09 am
written in to say although this is a deliberate attempt to embarrass sunak and promote herself, there's a lot of truth in what she says and people can see that in the fact that boris and liz were victims of a plot by sunak and hunt. >> that's the thing. both things can be true. it can all be about me, me, me, nadine. but also, that say that that doesn't say that necessarily everything she said was wrong. leon says. nadine dorries has achieved in life so respect goes out for for her that. sadly this has been that. but sadly this has been overshadowed by her tantrum and throwing her perceived protected characteristics about when she didn't get her own way. i've got no time for victims. so is nadine playing the victim card? and indeed, she's david has written to why are you written in to say, why are you defending out of her depth? >> she didn't even know how channel 4 was funded. her resignation letter shows self—absorbed , vindictive women. self—absorbed, vindictive women. we're lucky she wasn't elevated, but jeff says just for some balance, says nadine has paid rishi back for his lack of support. >> so there you go. lots of stabbing in the back, left,

10:11 am
to chris about this rather extraordinary release from extraordinary press release from the home secretary saying the police are actually going to start their is it is start doing theirjob. is it is it a wise thing for the home secretary perhaps to point to the fact that many people think they haven't been? >> i think it is actually, because i think for too long and by the way, i would never be able to articulate myself in this story as well as chris would. so hope you can would. so i hope you can establish communication with establish the communication with chris. i'm sure you will. but i think it is important to highlight this because for too long there are too many crimes that do get reported by the that do do get reported by the pubuc that do do get reported by the public things individual public things where individual items are stolen, whether it's a phone, whether it's your watch, whether it's a car, whether it's a personal possession. and what happens or seems be the happens or what seems to be the case. is that you call case. so far is that you call the police and say, i've been a victim of theft. and the police say, thank you very much. say, oh, thank you very much. here's the crime reference number and we'll back to here's the crime reference num butand we'll back to here's the crime reference num but they ve'll back to here's the crime reference num but they don't back to here's the crime reference num but they don't actuallyk to you. but they don't actually follow up or don't have the follow it up or don't have the capacity. it seems, or will capacity. it seems, or the will or the evidence to be able to follow up. making sure follow it up. so making sure that technology such as
10:12 am
follow it up. so making sure that cams technology such as follow it up. so making sure that cams on technology such as follow it up. so making sure that cams on people'sgy such as follow it up. so making sure that cams on people's cars, :h as follow it up. so making sure that cams on people's cars, such dash cams on people's cars, such as the ringo style doorbells that we see so often these days, where you can actually obtain more evidence than what you might have been to do might have been able to do previously. about making previously. it's about making sure police actually sure that the police actually follow sure that the police actually follthat's well and good, >> that's all well and good, charlie. all well and charlie. that's all well and good, but is she not piggybacking off something that's by that's already been announced by the ? it the police themselves? it was only a weeks that the only a few weeks ago that the police came out. chief constables from various areas came say, we will be came out to say, we will be investigating every crime . now, investigating every crime. now, suella the paper suella braverman is in the paper saying must investigate saying they must investigate every . well, it was every crime. well, it was already on the way, was it not? >> well, it's good to see the home secretary and the police federation have an agreement. an agreement each other, which federation have an agreement. an agreerthet each other, which federation have an agreement. an agreerthe case. each other, which federation have an agreement. an agreerthe case. not1 other, which federation have an agreement. an agreerthe case. not always which federation have an agreement. an agreerthe case. not always the ch is not the case. not always the case. i think it's case. exactly so i think it's always to see harmony always good to see harmony amongst . isn't that, amongst police. isn't that, charlie? the problem , though? charlie? the problem, though? >> because very often people think the aren't doing think the police aren't doing something . this must be the home something. this must be the home secretary's fault, whereas of course, the police have operational independence. it's a very of the way very important part of the way our country is run, that the
10:13 am
police can't tell the politicians can't tell the police. your job in this way. police. do your job in this way. go arrest that person. go and arrest that person. that's way that russia runs. that's the way that russia runs. that's the way that russia runs. that's nefarious that's the way that nefarious countries . so is it not countries run. so is it not right that there has been a certain degree of operational independence police? and independence in the police? and shouldn't therefore shouldn't it be therefore, for the crime the police and crime commissioner that we're really going after rather than the home secretary? >> well, i think that's absolutely right. and you cut me to quick on the police and to the quick on the police and crime commissioners they crime commissioners because they are that ultimately are the ones that ultimately have police and crime have to set the police and crime plan their authority, plan for their local authority, for local area. they are for their local area. they are democratically elected by the people they people to make sure that they are holding chief constable are holding the chief constable of police force across the of each police force across the country and make country to account to and make sure the police chiefs sure that the police chiefs across the country are dealing with kinds crime that the with the kinds of crime that the pubuc with the kinds of crime that the public want to tackle. public want them to tackle. >> metropolitan >> about the metropolitan police. the police. and i wonder if the police and crime commissioner for been a little bit for london has been a little bit too busy with trying to charge cars a day, then looking cars £12.50 a day, then looking at police, because, of at the police, because, of course, is sadiq khan's job. >> exactly. so and i think i think you're absolutely right. i think you're absolutely right. i
10:14 am
think london, we've seen a think that london, we've seen a spate of crime over the last few years, a rising crime, a rise in serious crime. and it seems as though we have a mayor that is unable to deal with that. >> priorities aren't there , are >> priorities aren't there, are there? are they? but we do , there? are they? but we do, actually. sorry, charlie, we do actually. sorry, charlie, we do actually have christopher hope with now , our political with us now, our political editor . with us now, our political editor. thank you very much. you're there. oh miked up. excellent. raring boasting about the new studio . the new studio. >> you froze, chris. hopefully the lines connected before we before we get into this, just tell us a little bit about this new shiny set up in westminster. we have. >> that's right. so as part of our commitment to reporting from westminster , we've a brand westminster, we've got a brand new here in in new studio here in in westminster. you see westminster. tom, you see the background behind it just background behind me and it just shows that gb news is here to stay and here to report politics as best can. where we can. as best we can. where we can. and we are now live here from from the from westminster. previously, make do previously, we had to make do with umbrella on college with an umbrella on college green parliament. but green outside parliament. but now have our own place to now we have our own place to work from. >> you'll be holding >> and you'll be holding ministers, state
10:15 am
>> and you'll be holding miaccount, state >> and you'll be holding miaccount, taking state >> and you'll be holding miaccount, taking them state >> and you'll be holding miaccount, taking them to ate >> and you'll be holding miaccount, taking them to task to account, taking them to task every single day for us. fantastic stuff. so the home office we've been talking there about , about how the police must about, about how the police must invest negate every crime. so says suella braverman man, can we move on to something else? a front of the times on front page of the times on electronic tagging for illegal migrants . this is because there migrants. this is because there isn't enough space to actually detain them. what's going on? >> yeah, that's the idea . the >> yeah, that's the idea. the government, of course, is trying to reopen this bibi barge they've got down in dorset. they haven't been able to do so because they're trying to flush the water out with a fear of legionnaire's disease. so they're looking at other ways of trying deal illegal trying to deal with illegal migration. of migration. one of them, of course, tagging course, is tagging suella braverman doing she can. braverman is doing all she can. i as i understand it, the i mean, as i understand it, the plan is to try and open more barges, into election. barges, go into the election. that, course, will be an that, of course, will be an attempt the party to say attempt by the tory party to say to well, what you to labour, well, what would you do deal this? labour do to deal with this? labour would say, well, we'll spend more to get the more money on trying to get the processing up. but the processing rates up. but the question would do
10:16 am
question is what would labour do further to try and tackle illegal migration? this is a government trying to to government trying to say to them, we're looking at. >> are we in the midst of a home affairs week? is this suella bravermans big moment downing bravermans big moment in downing street's and tell street's plan to try and tell the country that actually the government has a grip on all of these home issues, these home affairs issues, policing, , prisons, policing, crime, prisons, migration ? are we going to be migration? are we going to be heanng migration? are we going to be hearing a lot about this for the next four days ? next four days? >> yeah, i mean, in a boring way. number ten, talking about crime weeks. but we have had education week, haven't we, tom and schools week during the exam results . so it's clear that results. so it's clear that suella braverman is out on the airwaves today . she wasn't airwaves today. she wasn't really out drawing small boats week if you remember that one when the bibby barge by the end of that week had to be had migrants removed from it. so she's out and doing interviews and it is an attempt to show show that they are putting crime centre stage in the government. of course, they they say they've added police, police have added 20,000 police, police have come back on the beat. but but net we're back to where we were
10:17 am
probably pre austerity it's probably pre austerity so it's the attempt to show to us all that they're gripping it this big idea today is to try and crack down on any small level crime those those arrests are very, very low for things like burglaries, 4% thefts, 2% muggings, 6.5. the idea is to follow what they've done in greater manchester by going after all low level crime . after all low level crime. they've increased charging by 44. and that's the idea to get a grip on it. of course, some would say, well, shouldn't they be doing this anyway? the police should be investigating. but of course, many of us know friends and family who have had been victims level crime and victims of low level crime and have been by kind have been shocked by the kind of kind of indifference of the police. what they police. and that's what they want to change as well, essentially decriminalised in a lot around country. lot of areas around the country. >> you don't if these crimes >> if you don't if these crimes aren't investigated, no one's charged. no one's found, no one's is one's arrested, then it is essentially decriminalised. so it's that there is it's nice to see that there is at least an emphasis on this, but quite interesting but also it's quite interesting that suella braverman out that suella braverman is out there the media rounds.
10:18 am
there doing the media rounds. she's talking to to the the pubuc she's talking to to the the public because there was a lot in the papers, was there not, about suella braverman was about how suella braverman was taking a back seat when taking a bit of a back seat when it came to the media because she thought there wasn't much to announce to the announce when it came to the stop. boats. whereas stop. the boats. whereas robert jenrick should jenrick thought she should be out and about telling the public what the home office are doing. there's a conflict there's a bit of a conflict there, isn't there ? there, isn't there? >> there has been chatter >> yeah, there has been chatter on behind the scenes. emily on that behind the scenes. emily i think what we're seeing here, the government is not keen to talk small boats really, the government is not keen to talk there'sl boats really, the government is not keen to talk there's nothing'eally, the government is not keen to talk there's nothing they, the government is not keen to talk there's nothing they can because there's nothing they can say rwanda say because the this rwanda plan, big idea, they've got plan, this big idea, they've got to send people to rwanda for processing rather than leaving the uk. that's meant to break the uk. that's meant to break the of the of the the business model of the of the illegal people traffickers that won't come back in the courts , won't come back in the courts, as i understand it, until christmas time . so it's got to christmas time. so it's got to work early, really in spring summer next year and so much will hang on the success of that if it gets past the courts until then, the government is doing its with with tracking its best with with tracking migrants the southern migrants on the on the southern shores this country and
10:19 am
shores of this country and working with the french working closely with the french who given of who have been given hundreds of millions this millions of pounds to help this . but whether it comes off, i don't know. they're trying to bnng don't know. they're trying to bring other other bring it back to other other areas in home affairs. this areas in home affairs. and this week, crime. week, it's crime. >> is. chris, thank you so >> it is. chris, thank you so much joining us here from much for joining us here from shiny, westminster . much for joining us here from shiny, westminster. i hope shiny, shiny westminster. i hope you use the splendid new you make use of the splendid new coffee we have there as coffee machine we have there as well can tell he's excited . >> you can tell he's excited. >> you can tell he's excited. >> i'm just looking forward to being myself. chris thank being there myself. chris thank you rowley is you so much. charlie rowley is still with us. i wonder what does this say about the conservative party and where it thinks its elements of strength are ? if it feels like it can't are? if it feels like it can't talk about the economy? me it can't really talk about health. if it's talking about crime , i'm if it's talking about crime, i'm as if this is a strong point for the government. but we've just been talking about how bad crime is as well. >> i think it's about making sure that the government is still coming up with ideas and still coming up with ideas and still will be the party where it goes to the election to say, look, know, it's not just look, you know, it's not just about dealing with the deficit or inflation or getting inflation down, growing , having

10:28 am
misconduct hearings and they would have the ability to make a decision what was called the judge and jury. at that point by the police themselves that was kind of looked at and thought, well, is that transparent enough that , you know, the police are that, you know, the police are doing their own work with inside their own organisation, around misconduct. brought in misconduct. so they brought in legally qualified lawyers to preside to over these misconduct hearings. now we're going back again, it would seem, to be the fact that we want a quicker system , a more streamlined system, a more streamlined system, a more streamlined system to get rid of officers. yeah, like you say, wrongdoing probably isn't the word, but, you know, these are misconduct heanngs you know, these are misconduct hearings and they all hearings and they can be all sorts levels minor sorts of levels from minor misconduct to gross misconduct or those that we've seen in the news who have, you know, committed criminal offences . committed criminal offences. >> now, of course , the plan is >> now, of course, the plan is to try and restore some public confidence in the police, but i'm just sort of getting the sense that this is unlikely to do that . ian has emailed in to

organisation, those that are, you know, want to do the right thing, become very disheartened by you know, and by it. and they, you know, and the with police is the problem with the police is not necessarily, you know, that um, the it's now the um, the speed it's now the retention that's the biggest problem that they face is retaining those officers that are good, experienced officers that can that can do , you know, that can that can do, you know, and your other part you were talking about, you know, suella braverman about, you braverman is talking about, you know, investigating every crime. these do that know, investigating every crime. thescan do that know, investigating every crime. thescan help do that know, investigating every crime. thescan help those do that know, investigating every crime. thescan help those youngeriat and can help those younger officers experience officers with less experience are wanting to leave . are wanting to leave. >> simon now , there have been >> simon now, there have been some egregious cases of serving police officers committing heinous crimes, and that is where the trust has gone in some respects . but do you worry, as respects. but do you worry, as i do, that , that sometimes we do, that, that sometimes we paint the whole police force with the same brush and we talk of institutional problems, which seem to paint every police officer in the same light when actually maybe be is it a case
10:31 am
of a few bad apples that should have been rooted out? but that is not to say that most police officers, the vast majority , are officers, the vast majority, are good serving officers is, yeah, 100% agree with that. >> you know, it's very disheartening to be, you know, in the police when you look at those cases of, you know, i worked on wayne cousins case before retired and you know i was there when it was when we discovered who he was, you know, and not just who he was as a person, but the fact he was a police officer. and there were you know, there were people crying because they just thought, this is you know, thought, well, this is you know, this has come on the back of another case, dealt with the officers took photographs officers that took photographs officers that took photographs of who were of the two girls who were murdered in north london, you know, and produced selfies on whatsapp know, we whatsapp groups. you know, we went and we still are went through and we still are going through quite a bad period. and of course, those officers are , as you say, officers that are, as you say, the majority of officers are hardworking. they choose that career because they want to help people . you know, that's that's people. you know, that's that's basically it? you basically it, isn't it? you know, want to do
10:32 am
know, that they want to do something in their community and, of course, and sir mark rowley said it before, hasn't he, that, you know, he didn't think that the whole organisation institutionally think that the whole organirhe on institutionally think that the whole organirhe on wanttutionally think that the whole organirhe on want toionally think that the whole organirhe on want to uselly racist. he didn't want to use that because in that same that phrase because in that same way that you're saying there, he doesn't to say to his doesn't want to say to his officers that think you are officers that i think you are all same because i know all the same because i know you're not. you know, there are some apples, as they call some bad apples, as they call them. and they need be some bad apples, as they call the|rid and they need be some bad apples, as they call the|rid of and they need be some bad apples, as they call the|rid of quicker. ay need be some bad apples, as they call the|rid of quicker. andeed be some bad apples, as they call the|rid of quicker. and that's be get rid of quicker. and that's that's the real problem here is getting that misconduct, getting those done those investigations done quicker. people quicker. there are people spending year on suspension. spending a year on suspension. that's too long. and i think that's far too long. and i think that just needs that's the process that needs to speed up. >> well, simon, thank you >> yeah, well, simon, thank you so much your thoughts this morning. >> i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it there. but some really, interesting really, really interesting things and things to mull over there. and of course, if you think the police i think the police can build back trust. >> think can. and i think >> i think they can. and i think a lot of the problems are from the government top down. >> there's this question >> yeah, there's this question is institutional? is it bad is it institutional? is it bad apples? are your thoughts? apples? what are your thoughts? vaiews@gbnews.com is email vaiews@gbnews.com is the email

10:40 am
job, not someone who has a life experience diploma. experience of just a diploma. yes an interesting yes this is an interesting question. bleksley, is question. peter bleksley, who is often says often on this channel, he says that are too many grads that there are too many grads who want to their who don't want to get their hands dirty and doing there truth to that stuff. >> rather than out on the street. i was just wondering. i still still can't decide still can't i still can't decide if dress orange or red. if your dress is orange or red. emily. and i don't know if it's a tribute just oil. i a tribute to just stop oil. i don't know. you been don't know. have you been moonlighting their group? moonlighting in their group? have been lying any roads recently? >> i think our viewers and listeners know that would listeners know that that would not that i would not be the case, that i would not be the case, that i would not be the case, that i would not be dead glueing my not be caught dead glueing my hand a street. but perhaps hand to a street. but perhaps we've got some stop oil we've got some just stop oil fans watching. >> perhaps do. >> perhaps we do. >> perhaps we do. >> but it is >> but perhaps. but it is orange. is orange. orange. it is orange. >> the labour party candidate for mid bedfordshire for the mid bedfordshire by—election might be might be watching as watching who dressed up as a zombie greenpeace and stood zombie with greenpeace and stood outside the home office at one point. some marvellous point. there's some marvellous footage that and of course footage of that and of course many views about nadine dorries as we will get to in as well, which we will get to in just a bit. but will, but before that of course it is our news review of the day. and with us today bushra sheikh, the today is bushra sheikh, the political commentator emma
10:41 am
political commentator, and emma wolf, author, and wolf, the author, and journalist. thank you both for being with us today. shall we start with you? because it's been a big topic of conversation all of today, isn't this what the police should be doing? the idea that police will go after every crime? >> yes. i mean , they chop and >> yes. i mean, they chop and change so much. only fortnight ago, i think we were talking about them not having enough resources for petty crime. so this obviously an entire this is obviously an entire u—turn, which is needed. our police force should be doing this anyway . isn't this their this anyway. isn't this their job already? how is this breaking news when police in any country should be doing that ? i country should be doing that? i find it interesting because saying police will investigate every crime there is every crime if there is a reasonable lead. okay surely somebody's telling you that a crime is taking place somewhere. is a reasonable need for them to do a job. so although it's a positive thing, i'm still sceptical . sceptical. >> well, there's a that's a get out clause essentially, isn't it? is because you could say, oh, sorry, sorry. ms jones we oh, sorry, sorry. ms ms jones we don't have a reasonable lead .
10:42 am
don't have a reasonable lead. here's your crime reference number and off you go. >> but emma, isn't there a point here that the police do need to do sort of triage ? to a certain do sort of triage? to a certain extent? they will need to put more resources into violent crime perhaps than crime that isn't violent. yes but there is also the broken windows theory that we've known about for decades where when you have an area that becomes very rundown, when you have an area that's being smashed regularly , you being smashed up regularly, you know, broken into, know, properties broken into, two all these kind two bikes stolen, all these kind of anti—social of petty crimes, anti—social behaviour , all of that leads to behaviour, all of that leads to more crime . more crime. >> it perpetuates crime, it sort of engenders a sense of lawlessness and genders, a sense that, you know, there are no police around here, no one follows anything up. i mean, emily refers to crime reference numbers. any minor crime that i've you know, i've never had sort crime in my life. sort of major crime in my life. but things like being but things like bikes being stolen had a few flats stolen and i've had a few flats being over lifetime. being burgled over my lifetime. i've been given a crime reference number and nothing has ever happened. and i think that's the experience of a lot of people. yeah. >> and like car thefts
10:43 am
>> and things like car thefts are on the and are really on the rise and there's absolutely chance there's absolutely no chance you'll your car. you'll find your your car. thanks the police. or very thanks to the police. or very slim say there's slim chance. i won't say there's no chance, but it's a slim chance about week after chance about the week after i moved london, i had my phone moved to london, i had my phone snatched my hands just on snatched from my hands just on a main road centre of london. >> and this is an experience that so many people have had. i think the most think one of the most frustrating things is if it's a phone a laptop something phone or a laptop or something with in it that goes with with gps in it that goes missing, you can very often go to police and say, this is to the police and say, this is precisely where my phone is. i can point the to the can point you to the to the precise house or flat or wherever it is. go and wherever it is. please go and knock door now. and knock on their door now. and criminals, criminals are emboldened, says, from emboldened, as emma says, from the police officers on the lack of police officers on the lack of police officers on the street . the street. >> 5 the street. >> we've seen a couple of homophobic attacks recently, stabbings , things there where stabbings, things there where you would have thought that in these areas of london where people are out and about late at night, there would have to night, that there would have to be presence there , be police presence there, because i think police presence alone is enough to put off crimes ? oh, absolutely. crimes? oh, absolutely. >> and this is all about how much the government are
10:44 am
much money the government are actually putting our police actually putting into our police force. they've had force. you know, they've had cutbacks resources are cutbacks and the resources are not there. the numbers are not there. got these there. they've got these community now that are community offices now that are going to kind of aid going in as well to kind of aid that. think essentially that. but i think essentially people have lost a little bit of hopein people have lost a little bit of hope in the police, and i think that's take some time that's going to take some time for them to rebuild with individuals, because ultimately small small small crimes might appear small to people, but still to other people, but it's still a nonetheless. you a crime nonetheless. so, you know, things be know, these things have to be followed they should be followed through. they should be a that police a basic standard that police have emma, you're have to do. and emma, you're right . crime reference numbers, right. crime reference numbers, what happens with them? what really happens with them? i've had issues in the past. you're given a crime reference number then you hear nothing number and then you hear nothing because they've because his box ticking, they've they've done what need because his box ticking, they've th> maybe you get a visit. well you don't really nowadays, but in the old days you'd get a visit someone, they'd come visit from someone, they'd come round you all round and say, are you all right? do you want a community support officer? blah, blah, blah. to talk it blah. do you want to talk it through? the crime through? no. you want the crime to be solved. you want the i want back. i want my want my stuff back. i want my stuff back. i don't want to be you know, like, for example, in
10:45 am
my street, which is a perfectly nice there is gang and nice area, there is a gang and they down and they grab they go down and they grab people's phones, they're on bikes they people's bikes and they grab people's phones from the street. so what are saying? we're not even are we saying? we're not even allowed take our phones out allowed to take our phones out in street. but why not in the street. but why not follow is follow up when everybody is saying group of saying there is this group of young the gang or young men, this is the gang or they are a local gang, but that's not followed up. >> but some balance. sorry for some balance. that some balance. i would say that i have had a couple of very good experiences the police experiences with the police where helped where they really have helped really, yes. i won't go really, really. yes. i won't go into the details. i won't go into the details. i won't go into details. there into the details. but there are some good police officers there who are to go the extra who are willing to go the extra mile. there individuals like mile. there are individuals like thei think mile. there are individuals like the i think there some >> i think there are some amazing nurses. think there amazing nurses. i think there are brilliant, dedicated are some brilliant, dedicated police them police officers, lots of them probably. but are people police officers, lots of them prob don't but are people police officers, lots of them prob don't3ut don't re people police officers, lots of them prob don't3ut don't bother)le police officers, lots of them prob don't3ut don't bother and who don't who don't bother and don't care and are just literally boxes. literally ticking boxes. >> when it comes to >> i wonder when it comes to those gangs who snatch phones, there be certain addresses there must be certain addresses in where the police have in london where the police have been number of phones in london where the police have bee sitting number of phones in london where the police have bee sitting there meer of phones in london where the police have bee sitting there in ber of phones in london where the police have beesitting there in thatyf phones in london where the police have bee sitting there in that flationes are sitting there in that flat or on that area. it does or on in that area. it does boggle mind that they simply boggle the mind that they simply perhaps feel they have
10:46 am
perhaps don't feel they have the back up to go. >> it reminds me of, you know, a child falling a pond or a child falling into a pond or a fountain a few years ago, and the not equipped to the police were not equipped to go and the child or go in and help the child or something because of their own safety. and you think, well, hang a minute, you're hang on a minute, you're a police you should be police officer. you should be brave. should be brave. you know, there should be a level, you know, the health and culture. think, as and safety culture. i think, as well, should they well, you know, should they intervene, safe for them intervene, is it safe for them to intervene? do have to intervene? do they have enough the old days, enough people? in the old days, a go there, grab a copper would go in there, grab the kid, get the phone the little kid, get the phone out of hand. and, you know, out of her hand. and, you know, rugby tackle and not allowed to do anything these days. >> course, everyone's >> and of course, everyone's filming everything for filming everything on their for their there's their social media. so there's that their social media. so there's tha are our police too >> are our police too underpowered as well? of course an policeman bash an american policeman would bash in of course they in somewhere, but of course they would now, don't would be armed. now, i don't think necessarily police think necessarily all police should but i mean, should be armed, but i mean, it is a conversation. then shouldn't police least shouldn't all police at least have think that is have tasers? i think that is on its way in. >> well, maybe it certainly would stop some criminals in their and that's their tracks. yes. and that's what need some more of, what we need some more of, perhaps. on? perhaps. should we move on? because a story the because emma has a story on the front page the mirror.
10:47 am
front page of the mirror. they're talking ultra they're talking about ultra processed yeah. processed foods. yeah. >> across the papers >> and this is across the papers this and what? this morning. and you know what? it's surprise ultra processed it's no surprise ultra processed foods causing huge around it's no surprise ultra processed food of causing huge around it's no surprise ultra processed food of ourausing huge around it's no surprise ultra processed food of our foodg huge around it's no surprise ultra processed food of our food nowge around it's no surprise ultra processed food of our food now is around it's no surprise ultra processed food of our food now is goingd it's no surprise ultra processed food of our food now is going to half of our food now is going to cause massive amounts of. well, it's already causing heart attacks high attacks stroke, high blood pressure, but look pressure, all of this. but look where america goes. we follow. are surprised? seen are we surprised? have we seen obesity, of heart obesity, huge amounts of heart disease, stroke , all of in disease, stroke, all of this in our , uh, in our in our across our, uh, in our in our across our, uh, in our in our across our population . and we're not our population. and we're not allowed to say this stuff. we are not allowed to. i want to obesity is a far, far, far, far bigger problem than things like covid. >> if i want to eat myself to death, that is my choice death, surely that is my choice . fine. >> it's your choice. it's costing nhs billions and costing the nhs billions and billions of pounds. so maybe that's an argument against give you an example. >> socialised health care. >> socialised health care. >> what are we talking about when about ultra when we talk about ultra processed basically stuff processed food? basically stuff you at home? you can't make at home? how would you it's stuff like would you make it's stuff like doughnuts, frozen doughnuts, sweets, frozen pizzas, fizzy drinks, chicken nuggets, ultra nuggets, processed meat, ultra processed spreads, instant processed meat spreads, instant soup, drinks, cereal, soup, fizzy drinks, cereal, protein bars, crisps , biscuits, protein bars, crisps, biscuits, all this stuff that people are

10:50 am
out that a lot of people in hollywood that lot of hollywood are on, that a lot of the has just approved. for the nhs has just approved. for people who morbidly people who are morbidly overweight, why are we medicalized? people medicalized? i mean, if people find to make that find it hard to make that choice, can take this choice, they can take take this drug in whatever form and it will allow them to sort of not have the same appetite as before . that's good thing? . surely that's a good thing? >> that's a thing. >> no, that's not a good thing. it's about lifestyle choice. it's about a lifestyle choice. it's about a lifestyle choice. it's not about crash it's about it's not about crash diets ozempic the injection, diets or ozempic the injection, the miracle injections or this kind of appetite suppressant stuff that you're talking about. it's not about that. it's about making for life. at the making changes for life. at the same time. >> what do you what do you make of this, though? because surely if can an injection if someone can have an injection or that means or take a pill, that means they're less hungry they they're less hungry than they were before, allows them to were before, that allows them to just eat less food, just sort of eat less food, fewer surely fewer calories in? yeah surely that would save the a that that would save the nhs a lot of that would be lot of money. that would be helpful for society if it was more accepted thing. >> think i think that i >> i think it's i think that i think that ultimately would be the for somebody. the last resort for somebody. i think lifestyle choice, think your lifestyle choice, like going to be like emma says, is going to be your i genuinely your priority. i genuinely believe are making
10:51 am
believe that people are making bad for themselves. and bad choices for themselves. and if you look at the way if if you if you look at the way if you look at different countries, like go to europe like if you go to eastern europe and look at those people, and you look at those people, you can their obesity you can see that their obesity levels much lower. and it's levels are much lower. and it's because a lifestyle choice because of a lifestyle choice that making. and i'm that people are making. and i'm not that, you know, that not saying that, you know, that we these options we shouldn't have these options available. i have available. you know, i have a couple friends couple of close friends that have have surgery in to have had to have surgery in to order and weight from order try and lose weight from it. and that's the last resort. but i've also heard of horror stories having certain stories after having certain things, people taking these things, people are taking these tablets like tablets and they feel like they want suicide and want to commit suicide and they've depression. and they've got depression. and there's that are there's young children that are now all these. now taking all of these. so ultimately i'm like, ultimately for me, i'm like, yes, it. if it's the last yes, do it. if it's the last resort. >> and let's not forget that anorexia is one the biggest anorexia is one of the biggest killers of young women. it killers of young women. so it goes doesn't goes both ways, doesn't it? people themselves people eating themselves to death. also starving death. and then also starving themselves oh, what a themselves to death. oh, what a bright sunny bank holiday bright and sunny bank holiday monday today . monday it is today. >> say it is. it is to >> i just say it is. it is to some extent. there is a positive here, which is we live in a society where we're worried. we have much yes, we have too much stuff. yes, we have too much stuff. yes, we have much plentiful access. have too much plentiful access. and bring that up.
10:52 am

11:08 am
of the panel were perhaps being a bit judgemental it a little bit judgemental when it came some of the reasons came to some of the reasons why people, unfortunately, have put on can't it. on weight or can't lose it. i mean, has got in touch. no, mean, jim has got in touch. no, not jim. sorry. joanne has got in touch. she says, i'd like to dispute that. the only reason the nation is becoming obese is due to what they eat and lack of exercise. i'm on medication for mental health and it makes it extremely difficult to lose weight. she's weight. even though she's eating healthily exercising. weight. even though she's eating healisily exercising. weight. even though she's eating healis the exercising. weight. even though she's eating healis the problem sing. weight. even though she's eating healis the problem with these this is the problem with these kind of discussions because it's very easy to say, well, i'm very easy to say, oh, well, i'm slim exercise and slim because i exercise and i don't too much. but people don't eat too much. but people have different have very, very different circumstances. person circumstances. another person has written in say he has has written in to say he has arthritis. as much he arthritis. so as much as he would exercise, get down would like to exercise, get down to and shed some to the gym and lose, shed some pounds, very difficult . pounds, it's very difficult. >> no, i don't think >> yeah, no, i don't think anyone's disagreeing that it's more people more difficult for some people than i think it is than others, but i think it is fundamental to always a fundamental to always take a step back think this step back and think that this conversation calories conversation is always calories in, calories and i think in, calories out. and i think thatis in, calories out. and i think that is an important point to mention. indeed william has written in to say that actually
11:09 am
we talk some nonsense on this programme saying you don't have to be privileged to have a healthy lifestyle, just have some common sense. that's the view of. >> william. well, there you go. some people have more sympathy than those who are, than others with those who are, unfortunately, little bit unfortunately, a little bit overweight. there you overweight. but there you go. keep we'll keep your views coming in. we'll take we'll receive them. take them. we'll receive them. >> actually, i just >> we will. actually, i do just want to reference ken. hi ken. who's written in to say, i've noficed who's written in to say, i've noticed none of my emails noticed that none of my emails are am i persona are being read out, am i persona non grata? no, ken, it's just we're getting quite a lot of emails, so sorry if not every single one of yours gets read out, but i hope that has satisfied you. and just finally keep coming. keep them coming. >> please be a funny one from alan. >> that i just picked up. i can't understand why people drive to a gym to use a treadmill . treadmill. >> well, some people like to run in a dry. you know, area rather than outside. oh, no. >> but it did rain yesterday. >> but it did rain yesterday. >> it did rain yesterday. sometimes it's easier to just go on the treadmill. not everyone can have their treadmill at home, although that would be
11:10 am
something about something quite romantic about running in the rain. maybe for you. for anyway. the you. not for me, anyway. the home has told police home secretary has told police they must investigate every theft and that ignoring low level unaccept eatable. >> suella braverman has >> yes, suella braverman has secured from secured agreement from all of the countries 43 police forces to pursue every offence where there is, quote , a reasonable there is, quote, a reasonable line of inquiry. >> labour have called the plan a staggering admission of 13 years of tory failure on policing and crime. so what do you make of this? political commentator stephen carlton is with us stephen carlton woods is with us now. so stephen, your reaction to suella braverman saying that all police forces must investigate every single crime, including things like thefts ? including things like thefts? oh, well , it's nice to including things like thefts? oh, well, it's nice to think that they would do that. >> but obviously there's many reasons why they don't do that. so it's a difficult one really. we the government try and put things in place to give police the tools to do the job, but then you've got the police association. they'll look at reasons why they can't do the job. so it's a very difficult
11:11 am
situation. i think it is a difficult situation , but i think difficult situation, but i think a lot of people sitting at home would be thinking, hang on, aren't the police meant to be investing stating every crime anyway ? anyway? >> why isn't this sort of an announcement of, frankly , the announcement of, frankly, the obvious ? obvious? >> well, yeah, i agree with that , tom. but the thing is, you look at the way the police do their carry out their work where they seem to make their own priorities up as they go along. we've seen demonstrations from far left groups where they've been offered cups and been offered cups of tea and then the heavy handed tactics from the right wing organisations. so really, you know, the police need to have a general consensus of how they're going to actually do the job rather than cherry picking work and stephen, leading the times today , the front page, today, the front page, electronic tagging planned to stop migrants fleeing ing. >> the government, of course, has the illegal migration bill through parliament. they want to detain and then deport those who get here in a in an illegal
11:12 am
fashion. so tags may be the only way to in quotes, detain them. what do you think of this ? what do you think of this? >> well, a lot . well, i agree >> well, a lot. well, i agree with them really . i mean, if with them really. i mean, if someone's here illegally, they're a criminal and they need to need to be treated like criminals . there is legal means criminals. there is legal means to get here and go through due process . s but sneaking over on process. s but sneaking over on boats is dangerous to themselves and also , you know, just not and also, you know, just not a good situation . so we're going good situation. so we're going to see just like in every other step that the government try and do to combat this sort of thing , you're going to have people i'll do anything they to can bnng i'll do anything they to can bring illegal migration over to this country. so i think if tagging is a new tool to try and kerb this issue and it needs to go ahead, what about the concern that simply rather hilariously, we don't have enough tags in this country for the numbers coming over? >> i mean, it does feel sometimes presenting this program and talking about all
11:13 am
the things whether we can't build prisons, can't have enough tags, can't we just not do tags, can't can we just not do anything in this country? >> yes. in our detention estate can only hold 2500 people. so for about a week in a bit, we're in a bit of a sticky situation, aren't we here? because 2500. well, that's two weeks worth of migrants sometimes . migrants sometimes. >> well mean. they've got to start somewhere, haven't they ? start somewhere, haven't they? we've seen every plan that they've come up with, people trying to thwart it. and the unions are getting involved now. i thought unions are meant to be looking after workers interests in the uk, not after a legal immigration. so what more can the government do really, besides try and strive to do the best that they can with the tools that they have? >> isn't this the problem though? every week we get a new announcement from the government . what the labour party often calls a gimmick. we hear, calls as a gimmick. we hear, whether it's rwanda, whether it's the purported to tagging system, whether it's the bibby , system, whether it's the bibby, stockholm or indeed
11:14 am
requisitioning old raf bases, all the rest of it. we hear it time and time again and then it just sort of doesn't happen. it gets stymied in the courts. the unions try and stop it. is the government actually in control or is one of the issues here that the government is just demonstrating their own incompetence ? incompetence? >> it just shows the incompetence of labour really, and how inadequate they are throwing all these accusations that the government , when throwing all these accusations that the government, when in fact it's labour actively that are intrinsic in all this blockage. >> hang on, hang on. the labour activists might want to be trying to block all of this stuff, but labour doesn't have a majority in the house of commons. labour isn't in control of the country. labour wanted to block margaret thatcher doing a lot of things, but she stood up to them and stopped them. she beat the unions. why is this government so impotent ? government so impotent? >> i know you've got a good point there. well, i said on the last show about our great statespeople we used to have that could stand up to the
11:15 am
unions and all these people wanted to implement red tape. we don't seem to have the appetite or the or the capability really in the current government to deal with such matters . deal with such matters. >> stephen just very , very >> stephen just very, very quickly, it's also reported today that rachel reeves well, she has said this, that labour won't implement, they won't hammer the rich essentially. they're going to be nice to the top 1, no rise in income tax, no wealth tax, no rising capital gains. it's cetera. et cetera. what do you say to that? they're not listening to the far left anymore . anymore. >> oh, no, no , no. we've looked >> oh, no, no, no. we've looked at what labour are trying to do now with the clean air zones across the country. and we've had the big thing with ulez now being stretched out tomorrow in london. but we look at manchester and the state of manchester and the state of manchester and the state of manchester and what's been going on there with andy burnham trying to sneak in the clean air zone and blame the government at the same time. so it's, you
11:16 am
know, labour are quite good at throwing stones when they live in a really big glass house. >> well, yes, and that is the job of the opposition then, of course. thank you very much indeed, stephen carlton woods there . thank you very much for there. thank you very much for joining although i have to joining us. although i have to say, i mean, top rate of tax say, i mean, the top rate of tax under the last labour government wasthe rate of tax under >> the top rate of tax under this tory government 45. this tory government is 45. >> but we've got >> yeah, but we've got a pandemic to pay for, don't we? >> i should thought there >> i should have thought there would strong centre right would be a strong centre right argument not wanting to argument about not wanting to clobber wanting to clobber the rich, wanting to attract here, have them attract the rich here, have them spend more, that tax spend more, have that tax revenue. we'd rather a result . revenue. we'd rather a result. >> see them, you >> we'd rather see them, you know, off dubai. but know, fly off to dubai. but there you go. should we move on? police chiefs will have more power to dismiss officers found guilty of wrongdoings. a proposal will be announced today by street . yes. by downing street. yes. >> plan aims to restore >> the plan aims to restore pubuc >> the plan aims to restore public the police, public confidence in the police, which badly damaged in which has been badly damaged in recent years . recent years. >> right. so we have hamish brown, who is the former scotland yard detective inspector, much inspector, thank you very much indeed joining us. hamish indeed forjoining us. hamish what changes do you anticipate
11:17 am
in practise yes. >> well, good morning to both of you . and indeed, the you. and indeed, the commissioners are difficult position because as he wants to enhance public confidence, he's got officers, rogue officers. he doesn't want and he wants them out pretty quick. and i can understand that. and there's got to be a lot of rebuilding with the public and all the scandals , well—publicised scandals, not just the metropolitan police by the way, other forces had a bit of a tough time as well. i think it's meant who makes the headunes. it's meant who makes the headlines . so what are they headlines. so what are they going to do about it? and the commissioner said, well, we could streamline the disciplinary process , get these disciplinary process, get these people get them out. people through, get them out. and at the moment, we have legally qualified chairs, barristers , chairs. they chair barristers, chairs. they chair the disciplinary hearings . it is the disciplinary hearings. it is that impartiality . it is that impartiality. it is transparent and a lot of people are comfortable with that . the
11:18 am
are comfortable with that. the commissioner and others feel it's not moving on quick enough. so they said, we'll deal with this and we'll show you what disciplinary hearings are all about. well, that's all very well and good, and i support getting the nuisance, the bad officers out , the damage. it's officers out, the damage. it's done. and not all police officers are like that at all. the vast majority are hard working people . but the working people. but the situation is and bear in mind, whatever the officers charged with under european court of human rights, article six, they're entitled to a fair trial. and if they don't get a fair trial , the police will lose fair trial, the police will lose the case. so we've got to be a little bit careful there. and supposing there's a well publicised case and the i don't know the hearing, they do their best to hear all the evidence and say, well, actually, i don't think the case has been proved. and the case is dismissed. and the public are to say there go the public are to say there go the police again sticking up for their own. so to have that independent element now, the office of police conduct, the
11:19 am
official body there , i think official body there, i think it's their chair. i stand corrected on that, have said, look , why don't you just leave look, why don't you just leave the system as it is to try the case and then leave it to chief officers to hand out the appropriate sentence . and if appropriate sentence. and if that's the compromise , i support that's the compromise, i support that's the compromise, i support that. >> it does seem that whatever we're talking about to some people , all might well come people, all might well come across as if there's tinkering going on, as if this is all sort of looking at sort of who manages the system as it currently exists . but is there currently exists. but is there not a question about, yeah, it's changed over the years, of coui'se. >> course. >> and it's to get that independent element in and to encourage public confidence and to rebuild and goodness me, all police forces have to do so . the police forces have to do so. the commission is right in his thinking, but we've also got or they've also got to get it right to keep the public confidence going. and it has to be
11:20 am
independent and it has to be transparent for this system to work. so i think an element of the senior police officers handing out the sentence and another body to actually try the case. and i think that is the way forward . way forward. >> yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? who should decide what what punishment essentially someone gets for misconduct ? very gets for misconduct? very interesting question there. i think that element of whether it's independent or not, whether police chiefs, do we trust police chiefs, do we trust police chiefs, do we trust police chiefs to decide what happens to lower down officers. thank you very much indeed for your time today. hamish brown there, former scotland yard detective , actor. detective inspector, actor. >> next, we're going to >> well, up next, we're going to discuss of a buy discuss the idea of a buy british button . yes, button on british button. yes, a button on supermarket websites allowing people to easily find a british produced produce . yes. produced produce. yes. >> yes. we're going to be talking to a conservative mp who is behind the idea. you're with britain's newsroom gb news is the temperatures rising ? the temperatures rising? >> boxt solar proud sponsors of

11:27 am
suppose that's telling private companies how they should run their businesses. sounds a bit left wing . left wing. >> you no , tom, it's not at all. >> you no, tom, it's not at all. it's actually anything. but it's asking simply saying there is an opportunity here backed by consumers and backed by the farmers to allow people more choice . so that's exactly what choice. so that's exactly what we're asking for. some people, the priority will be cost . for the priority will be cost. for some people, the priority is whether summer whether it's summer or christmas. simply saying christmas. i'm simply saying there's an opportunity here to allow to choose british allow people to choose british products because we know that people want have home grown people want to have home grown food. know it's better for food. we know it's better for our farmers. we know it's better for environment. so this is for our environment. so this is simply parity of simply providing that parity of choice at the moment it choice because at the moment it doesn't it's simply doesn't exist and it's simply asking supermarkets to make asking the supermarkets to make asking the supermarkets to make a change on their digital marketing to be allowed people to that. already do that marketing to be allowed people to you. already do that marketing to be allowed people to you comeilready do that marketing to be allowed people to you come toeady do that marketing to be allowed people to you come to christmas,t marketing to be allowed people to you come to christmas, you when you come to christmas, you hit the christmas button . you hit the christmas button. you can anything from can choose anything from christmas. had christmas. if you've had a barbecue summer, you do barbecue this summer, you can do exactly can't exactly the same. why can't we do with british products so do it with british products so that if want to go shopping,
11:28 am
that if you want to go shopping, you a of all the you get a choice of all the different british wines, british meats, veg, meats, british fruit and veg, all place. all in one place. >> this i mean, it >> yeah. this is i mean, it sounds a positive step. why shouldn't supermarkets this shouldn't supermarkets do this if people want to know where the products or not, products are, british or not, there well be many consumers there may well be many consumers out there who want to support british farming , support british british farming, support british produce support, british manufacturing so on. it manufacturing and so on. it seems like this is already dividing the inbox, though some people saying that english people are saying that english produces is far more expensive, so they wouldn't be able to afford it. others are saying this is a fantastic way to support farmers is so you can see there's a difference of opinion out there. english produce isn't always the cheapest, is it? >> and emily, that's exactly why tom's hit something in the nail on the head. and this is all about choice because some people, the choice will all be about cost. but for others who want to support their rural communities, their home grown side and make environmental side and make that environmental choice, this is simply providing them ability to make that them the ability to make that difference. if you think about
11:29 am
it, you a hotel for it, when you book a hotel for example, can rate it by example, you can rate it by location anne can rate it location. anne you can rate it by you can rate it by by cost. you can rate it by recommendations. well we can already do that on our shopping. we do it by cost and alphabet all. i'm simply asking the supermarkets is put in supermarkets to do is put in ability choose it, ability to choose it, buy british that there is that british so that there is that choice the national farmers choice and the national farmers union have got behind this. they've running this for they've been running this for a long now i've simply long while now and i've simply had opportunity say, had the opportunity to say, how can help farmers ? how can can we help our farmers? how can we help our countryside? well, allow people bribe british allow people to bribe british should they choose to . should they choose to. >> now, i understand your point about the consumer for having choice, fundamentally , choice, but fundamentally, aren't we ignoring whether or not the supermarket, the producer has the choice, whether or not we're compelling companies to do things that they don't see? it's in their business interests to do? perhaps some companies would think, oh, i'll put this button on and that might give me an advantage over my competitors. some might not want to do that. are not at risk of sort are we not at risk of sort of yet more impositions upon
11:30 am
companies , just as some of your companies, just as some of your colleagues were demanding? every new was built with a, new house was built with a, b brick new house was built with a, b bnckin? new house was built with a, b brick in? it seems like a little thing , these of thing, but these sorts of regulations add up these impositions from politicians upon businesses add up and really harms the economy. >> more red tape . >> more red tape. >> more red tape. >> luke tom, you're absolutely right. but also you've got to remember that as a politician, i want to try and make a positive change. so why can't i ask and if i happen to ask, with 117 other colleagues from across the house, that probably points to me that might be a good idea, me that it might be a good idea, or at least worth consideration. the supermarket is are well within tell me to within their right to tell me to go packing, but actually i've started a debate this and started a debate about this and as pointed out, the as you rightly pointed out, the inboxis as you rightly pointed out, the inbox is divided about this. social divided about social media is divided about this. what it means more this. but what it means more fundamentally people are fundamentally is that people are having conversation what having a conversation about what they they're they prioritise when they're shopping , what doing to shopping, what are they doing to support farmers ? are they support their farmers? are they buying grown and buying home grown food? and should they get the chance to do so? for me, is exactly so? so for me, this is exactly what a conservative mp should be doing, asking to a
11:31 am
doing, asking people to make a change and them the change and allowing them the market then to decide. so what i'd like tom in answer is i'd like to see tom in answer is all the supermarkets put this in place. not commercially place. if it's not commercially viable, flops. enough. viable, it flops. fair enough. i don't it takes much don't think it takes much to digitally this their digitally change this on their websites and allow them that choice and then i'll back right off doesn't work off because if it doesn't work and supported by the and it's not supported by the consumer, then back consumer, well then i'll go back into my box. >> luke, i don't want to burst your bubble. but aren't some supermarkets doing this? supermarkets already doing this? so them about six so we wrote to them about six months to make sure that you months ago to make sure that you know, to see what is actually happening know, to see what is actually happenithey say know, to see what is actually happeni they say they know, to see what is actually happenithey say they support >> and they all say they support british farmers there's good british farmers and there's good evidence no evidence about labelling, but no one's actually collating it into one's actually collating it into one space. and that's what this is all so when you get is all about. so when you get on to the website, you can find it easily. with easily. they do it with christmas, do with christmas, they do it with autumn and halloween and those kind why do kind of things. why can't we do it now a british button? it now with a british button? >> i think a lot of people want to this information. i'm to know this information. i'm seeing people write to us seeing people write in to us saying, i want to be able to have everything one section have everything in one section on. know british. can on. i know it's british. i can then choose there rather then choose from there rather than through the whole
11:32 am
than scouring through the whole website waitrose, website of tesco, waitrose, wherever, find the wherever, and trying to find the british i just british food, i just, i just feel uncomfortable feel more uncomfortable when this from politicians this comes from politicians rather than a public. it'sjust rather than a public. it's just a nice thing that luke's doing that people are physically distrustful of you as a as a politician , as an elected mp . politician, as an elected mp. >> well, tim. >> well, tim. >> tom, that gives you it should give you more comfort that the nfu are asking for it. so the farmers union, there's a vested interest for them to so. but interest for them to do so. but i think what we're seeing is in my constituency, i see i see a lot independent shops lot more independent shops coming farmers coming up, independent farmers markets i visit them markets when i go and visit them out in market. bosworth or out in burbage, they want to talk about independent stuff. in burbage, they want to talk ab

11:36 am
chief of staff. that's what he wants to do is change the venue from a state court to a federal court that would not necessarily, you know, be a real setback for lonnie willis . what setback for lonnie willis. what what changes things like the size of the jury pool if it's a state court, it's the atlanta county community, which is very familiar with the court. the jurors , all of those procedural jurors, all of those procedural things . but jurors, all of those procedural things. but if it was a federal court, it would be ten counties. >> they might be more they might be counties that are more sort of warm towards trump, rather than the inner cities that are more democrat. yes and no. >> yes and no, because while atlanta, biden won like 75% to 2 to 25% for trump in those ten counties. yes you did see more voters turning out for trump. however, biden still won all of those counties. so there is that. but another key development to watch out of this heanng development to watch out of this hearing is if he does agree to move to a federal court, the new strategy would be that, hey, i'm a federal employee . under us a federal employee. under us law, federal employees are not subject to state laws. so in fact, they're subject to
11:37 am
immunity. right. so that would be kind of also a test of that. but they first would have to get the change of venue and then they can make an argument about actual immunity from even being charged. >> the shift >> would the shift from state to federal change how mr federal courts change how mr trump was being tried? because as i understand it, the fact that this is a state level prosecutor action would mean that the president of the united states were that to be in future, mr trump would not be able to pardon himself. >> well, that's why so historic and unprecedented, because this has happened before and unprecedented, because this has because happened before and unprecedented, because this has because thisipened before and unprecedented, because this has because this isened before and unprecedented, because this has because this is not before , ever, because this is not carrying his presidential carrying out his presidential duties. trying to do? duties. what is he trying to do? he trying to actually strong he was trying to actually strong arm the overturning arm or pressure the overturning of votes in georgia . you know, of votes in georgia. you know, he he fell short by around 11,800 votes, which could have given him georgia between georgia and 3 or 4 of the states. donald trump be in states. donald trump would be in the house today, for example. >> and but isn't what he would say to that is he wasn't trying to overturn the election . he to overturn the election. he genuinely there was genuinely believes there was election fraud going on. maybe a convenient number of election
11:38 am
votes turned out to be fraud, in his view. but but that's surely going to be the argument he puts forward. >> well, that's why the test is for the prosecutor, because she wants show that this was wants to show that this was really a conspiracy, conspiracy carried out several states. really a conspiracy, conspiracy carrhadyut several states. really a conspiracy, conspiracy carr had yutslate iveral states. really a conspiracy, conspiracy carrhadyutslate of ral states. really a conspiracy, conspiracy carrhadyutslate of ral stelectors you had a slate of fake electors that to to that they wanted to submit to congress. you also had worryingly enough, actually worryingly enough, you actually had voting machines had tampering of voting machines and coffee tampering to and coffee county tampering to show how easy it was to manipulate a vote. and that's why, again , you have that why, again, you have that element of the fact that this is a conspiracy in of levels , a conspiracy in lots of levels, isolated , you know, of isolated acts of, you know, of breaches of conduct, putting together . together. >> and to be clear, this tampering was done by allies of trump, it's alleged, rather than the other way around. >> and what's the way of saying that's how racketeering works? because you take individual acts. but when you put it together, means that they together, it means that they meet on surface. they have maybe nothing if it's nothing in common, but if it's towards a common goal, the common him in common goal of keeping him in power overturning the power and overturning the results, where it becomes power and overturning the reconspiracy where it becomes power and overturning the reconspiracy . where it becomes a conspiracy. >> lee and what do you say to
11:39 am
those who are watching all of this thinking this this and thinking this is politically try and politically motivated to try and prevent trump from running and becoming president? >> well, is going to be >> well, that is going to be part of their argument because they're you they're saying, why are you having here? having this trial here? well, i'm why you i'm campaigning. why are you trying from doing my trying to keep me from doing my job if i'm only the front job if i'm not only the front runner, could even be the runner, he could even be the nominee for the republican party. so this kind of like party. so this is kind of like really a cat and mouse situation. fascinating situation. it's very fascinating in fascinating in many ways. but fascinating for reasons because for the wrong reasons because it's disruptive the it's really disruptive for the electoral because electoral process, because there's the there's no language in the constitution that says that he can't run convicted. can't run if he's convicted. there's no language that says he can't serve in the white house if convicted. so you're talking about of territory, about a lot of new territory, right this is this is right there. and this is this is democracy where i don't think anyone this . anyone foresaw this. >> no. could be under house >> no. he could be under house arrest the white what >> no. he could be under house a|peculiar1e white what >> no. he could be under house a|peculiar situation what >> no. he could be under house a|peculiar situation that what >> no. he could be under house a|peculiar situation that wouldt a peculiar situation that would be. but but how likely is it that any of these indictments will head before the election? >> well, your guess is as good as because right as anyone else is, because right now , the way it's sequenced out now, the way it's sequenced out lenny willis, she wants a speedy trial. she wants to start the
11:40 am
trial. she wants to start the trial in october. you've got the mar lago cases of the of the mar a lago cases of the of the documents which could contain the jack smith wants to start that in january. and then you've got of course, the hush money case. you know from manhattan that's in the spring. so you could see some sort of a verdict by next summer, an election day is november of next year. by next summer, an election day is november of next year . so is november of next year. so there is that possibility. but, you know , donald trump, he's you know, donald trump, he's notorious bts for over litigating and delayed delay, delay. >> i can't i can't help but think in the whole context of this a certain irony to the candidate who became so famous for saying lock her lock her for saying lock her up, lock her up 2016, it seems that the up in 2016, it seems that the bootis up in 2016, it seems that the boot is on the other foot. well not only the boot on the not only is the boot on the other already he's other foot, but already he's using mugshot. using his mugshot. >> monetised that. >> he's monetised using that. he's that by selling he's monetising that by selling it t shirts and on mugs. it on t shirts and on mugs. >> well, he was always a businessman first, a mugshot on a mug. well, is very interesting. it's very interesting. it's very interesting to see how the
11:41 am
pubuc interesting to see how the public are responding to this in the states. yes, absolutely fascinating. >> but carl bostick, thank you so much being with us this so much for being with us this morning . yes. still this morning. yes. still this morning, i'm having real trouble with time today. >> don't go anywhere >> it's 1141. don't go anywhere . emma wolf and bushra shaikh will join us in one moment will join us in just one moment to through those papers. to look through those papers. this newsroom on

11:45 am
and tom harwood . now we've been and tom harwood. now we've been looking at a story this morning which the potential use of which is the potential use of electronic tags on a legal migrants. and we are joined in the studio by political commentator bushra sheikh and the and journalist emma the author and journalist emma wolf, have some views on wolf, who have some views on this one. bushra, what do you think to this okay think to this idea? okay >> if i'm totally honest, i just think it's an awful idea. they're not criminals . firstly, they're not criminals. firstly, they're not. yes, they might be illegal migrants and maybe, you know, we don't want them here, but actually not but they're actually not criminals. they would say that the word that you said the first word that you said there. >> migrants would denote >> illegal migrants would denote the fact of criminality. well they've made it illegal migrants because they shut down all the pathways and they want to stop the boat. >> so then they've just classified as illegal. classified it as illegal. you know, this is a term that can be used widely. actually used quite widely. they actually have not mean, they're not have not i mean, they're not criminals. i feel like it's unfair. >> bushra, do you want undocumented men from all sorts of different countries around the being to abscond the world being able to abscond from hotel accommodation and other and just be
11:46 am
other accommodation and just be running free around the country without us knowing who they are 7 without us knowing who they are ? surely the government's first job protect the safety of job is to protect the safety of british citizens, and if that means using tax , which may not means using tax, which may not be, you know, the best way, but it is one way. if we don't have the space to detain people, let's bring in emma at this point. >> but i find it almost more alarming. we don't have the space to keep people we not space to keep people we do not have the space. i think we have the space home office the space that our home office estate can hold around 2500 people and we've around people and we've got around 175,000 asylum seekers. this is this is not necessarily illegal migrants . it's asylum seekers migrants. it's asylum seekers who come to country seeking who come to this country seeking asylum. not even sure if asylum. but i'm not even sure if we can't detain them . we're we can't detain them. we're going to have 175,000 plus plus plus people all walking around with electronic tags, sort of. >> i mean, the idea i mean, that's not a very reassuring situation to be in. well, i believe this idea is kind of ludicrous because actually what we should be focusing on and putting our resources and our monies and efforts towards is the processing we've got a
11:47 am
backlog. there are so many people to be processed. backlog. there are so many pe0jyou're to be processed. backlog. there are so many pe0jyou're right, be processed. backlog. there are so many pe0jyou're right, are processed. backlog. there are so many pe0jyou're right, a lot rocessed. backlog. there are so many pe0jyou're right, a lot of essed. backlog. there are so many pe0jyou're right, a lot of them. and you're right, a lot of them are genuine asylum. and and you're right, a lot of them are don't genuine asylum. and and you're right, a lot of them are don't want nuine asylum. and and you're right, a lot of them are don't want ajine asylum. and and you're right, a lot of them are don't want a bunch ylum. and and you're right, a lot of them are don't want a bunch of m. and and you're right, a lot of them are don't want a bunch of people we don't want a bunch of people walking around with tags, hang on, cost money. >> government seeing >> the government scary seeing someone a tag around their someone with a tag around their ankle. i've been in a position where next to where i was sitting next to someone bus and glanced someone on a bus and i glanced down had a great big tag down and he had a great big tag on ankle that's probably on his ankle and that's probably unfair. i immediately felt unfair. but i immediately felt as though i was sitting next to on next to a, you know, on a bus next to a, you know, bona fide criminal. i think the problem about these problem when we talk about these initiatives or things have initiatives or things that have been papers from been briefed to the papers from the we forget that the home office, we forget that the home office, we forget that the have put through the government have put through the government have put through the illegal migration bill >> you support it >> now, whether you support it or whole point that or not, the whole point is that they detain those who come or not, the whole point is that they dybyin those who come or not, the whole point is that they dyby irregularvho come or not, the whole point is that they dyby irregular means,ie or not, the whole point is that they dyby irregular means, by across by irregular means, by illegal means on a boat, and then they deport them to a third country safe country country or to a safe country set of apart of circumstances apart from those are particularly those who are particularly vulnerable or who have evidence there going there that they are going to be persecuted and the idea is persecuted. and so the idea is that they would be sent to another country. so this would just be a detaining process. okay. know not ideal, but that okay. i know not ideal, but that is government's plan.
11:48 am
is the government's plan. >> problem here is >> surely the problem here is there's only one country that currently the united kingdom has an send an agreement with to send them unless they're coming from a country where got a return country where we've got a return agreement it's agreement like albania, it's only rwanda that they could be sent to. if there are general asylum seeker who we don't know the provenance of and there aren't that many spaces that we have in rwanda to i mean, and that just seems never blooming well left the tarmac and the rwanda plan is basically dead in the given the government's the water given the government's record on any big it projects. >> look met police being >> look at the met police being infiltrated, being hacked yesterday. at the nhs. yesterday. look at the nhs. billions that were put into the nhs to get everything, nhs system to get everything, everything do you nhs system to get everything, every anyg do you nhs system to get everything, every any faith do you nhs system to get everything, every any faith that do you nhs system to get everything, every any faith that these ou have any faith that these electronic tags they'd probably lose? you know, it doesn't keep. >> hang on, emma. the >> well, hang on, emma. the issue at the moment we issue is that at the moment we have too we don't have have too much and we don't have enough. have large number enough. we have a large number of put the of cases though, to put the other side. we have a large number of cases where there have been migrants who have come through. means through. this means seeking asylum looking to work in the asylum or looking to work in the black economy , have simply
11:49 am
black economy, have simply abscond from their accommodation and that is can be could be a risk to people's safety. but boucher is right. >> we need to focus on a processing them more quickly in ineffective ways . you can't just ineffective ways. you can't just have people, you know, in hotels or in kind of lodgings forjust or in kind of lodgings for just months and months and months. but secondly, we need to deal with the situation at root at the cause, at the countries where coming yeah, where they're coming from. yeah, this is going to work. and this is not going to work. and with that headline the with that headline about the home over fears, home office acts over fears, they're acting , they're they're not acting, they're looking they're considering a failure of the government. failure of the tory government. >> ultimately this whole stopping the boats , the stopping the boats, the migration, the numbers . i'm also migration, the numbers. i'm also a british citizen. i don't want an influx of these thousands of people coming here unregulated, no processing. it's scary for people. i get that. it's a failure. and honestly, i'm telling you, it's the processing. put the money where the processing systems are. we don't want a bunch people don't want a bunch of people with these and i'm telling with these tags. and i'm telling you, are going to be you, people are going to be scared they see it's all scared when they see it's all theory really, because theory anyway, really, because apparently theory anyway, really, because appa|enough tags.
11:50 am
have enough tags. >> 25,000 tags in the >> god, 25,000 tags in the country having country. but having a hypothetical conversation ipp all again. all over again. >> we're going to billions >> we're going to get billions and billions tags. >> we're going to get billions and billions tags . and thank and billions of tags. and thank you, emily. >> tags won't work. >> tags won't work. >> bushra, shall we move on? because you've picked out an onune because you've picked out an online of what's going on. online video of what's going on. this this video from the telegraph. >> okay. so this is a story in the telegraph. it's written by a lady called isabel oakeshott, who we know was the scandal behind matt hancock. you know, she had that story. but this is about the former prime minister of khan. this video is of imran khan. this video is when he's going and having a meeting with putin in russia and the telegraph . obviously, this the telegraph. obviously, this article claims that that imran khanis article claims that that imran khan is a friend of the enemies of the west. now, this is really interesting. the former prime minister of pakistan. this is a former prime minister of pakistan who's currently been in prison attock jail in prison in attock jail in pakistan as prisoner number 804. now, this story really bothered me and lots of people . it's been me and lots of people. it's been massive over the weekend. why because imran khan is a famous
11:51 am
