sightings of khalifa is testament to his ingenuity as a soldier . testament to his ingenuity as a soldier. meanwhile, the force has released an image of the bidfood vehicle. it's believed he used to escape and security checks have been tightened at ports despite the incident. the prime minister says there's been fewer prison escapes under the conservative government . conservative government. >> there are something like 4000 more prison officers than there were in 2017. and with regard to the labour party who posed the question again, the facts show that during their 13 years in office, were ten times the office, there were ten times the number of escaped prisoners than you've seen in the 13 years of conservative led government. but we're doing everything we to can find this person. and as said, find this person. and as i said, if has information, if anyone has any information, please police . please do contact the police. well labour leader sir keir starmer says the government is totally at fault . totally at fault. >> i think we now know that we're already in some pretty reports into wandsworth issues about staffing, issues about buildings , and that's a pattern

buildings, and that's a pattern of behaviour . buildings, and that's a pattern of behaviour. now under this government, whether it's this prison or other prisons or other infrastructure across the country and, you know, it certainly hasn't helped that in the last ten years we've had ten justice secretaries and i know from my time as director of pubuc from my time as director of public prosecutions just how important stability is when it comes to criminal justice. >> a police investigation is being launched into dozens of baby deaths and injuries at nottingham university hospitals. nhs trust. more than 1700 families were part of an independent review of maternity care at nih, led by donna ockenden , the senior midwife led ockenden, the senior midwife led a similar investigation at the shrewsbury and telford hospital. nhs trust. the prime minister is facing another by—election following the resignation of his former deputy chief whip, chris pincher. the mp for tamworth made the decision after losing an appeal against an eight week suspension over groping allegations in a statement, mr

to make relations between scots and the english as difficult as possible . possible. >> all she intends to lecture politicians and the public about our increasingly toxic political discourse, and what she hopes will become a disunited kingdom. you truly couldn't make this up, but but in the increasingly delusional world of queen nick, that's exactly what happened. while making her return to the scottish parliament for the first time in five months following her arrest . this was following her arrest. this was part of the bizarre and self—serving eight minute address. yes i want to conclude, presiding officer, with a few words, not so much on what we do here, but on how we do it before i do, let me say that i accept my share of responsibility for the state of our political discourse . discourse. >> if anything, that makes me more determined to play a part in trying to change it, to say that my perspective on politics has altered would be something of an understatement . but of an understatement. but certain things look different,

perhaps a bit clearer in fact, from here than from the trenches of the political frontline . of the political frontline. >> sturgeon likes to think of her future as some sort of scottish michelle obama being paid millions to spread, woke mumbo jumbo far and wide . but mumbo jumbo far and wide. but while the mainstream media and political establishment might deify her, we must remember the truth about sturgeon's legacy . truth about sturgeon's legacy. this was the woman who proudly boasted of detesting tories while at home with her pals at the british bashing corporation . she blamed poor english folk for ruining her country's utterly insane and irresponsible zero—covid policy . she gaslit by zero—covid policy. she gaslit by illogical women campaigning for the rights of the woman. all while allowing a male rapist called adam graham to reside in an all female prison . and she an all female prison. and she talked about the democratically elected prime minister of the uk, boris johnson. like a piece of dirt on her bright blue

stilettos , even though he was stilettos, even though he was nothing but polite and charming towards her at all time. in fact, i am tonight prepared to declare that sturgeon is the most divisive and negative political figure in modern british history . british history. >> i detest the tories and everything they stand for, just as their transphobic. you will also find that their deeply misogynist often homophobic, possibly some of them racist as well . a fascist. you are well. a fascist. you are a racist and the south side of glasgow will reject sense of corruption at the heart of the westminster system and that has to be rooted in that. boris johnson has so clearly lost the confidence of the uk. it is just, i think, an unsustainable proposition. i detest the tories and everything they for. proposition. i detest the tories and everything they for . stand and everything they for. stand >> so scheming sturgeon can spare us the lectures about political civility . okay, she political civility. okay, she must be judged on her time in

power and the sorry state. she's left scotland , which will end up left scotland, which will end up being much better without her. but to respond now, my superstar panel but to respond now, my superstar panel, top daily telegraph columnist allison pearson, conservative peer lord bailey and the author and broadcaster amy nicholl turner. allison pearson , was this the most pearson, was this the most hypocritical political address you've ever heard ? you've ever heard? >> well, it's a bit like watching a reformed arsonist surrounded by the burnt out shells of all the burning buildings. i think your intro is absolutely right, dan. i mean, the most divisive politician , an the most divisive politician, an incredibly talented she could have been a force for good , but have been a force for good, but she was spewing hatred . ed at she was spewing hatred. ed at westminster. she was really unpleasant with boris . whatever unpleasant with boris. whatever you think about him is an amiable guy. he'd never be rude in person to anyone. and she was absolutely horrible. i think she worsened relations between scotland and england, and for to her now to turn around and sort of say , oh, there may have been

of say, oh, there may have been a bit of acrimony causing paralysis and you think , you paralysis and you think, you know, the thing i read the acrimony come where did the acrimony come where did the acrimony from? and the acrimony come from? and the thing have against her thing i really have against her is covid, an is during covid, that was an opportunity for the leaders of the devolved governments to pull together with a common cause . together with a common cause. and trick in the and she used every trick in the book to outdo westminster with madder and worse measures for scotland. longer school closures, more vaccine. this more vaccine that i think she's been absolutely dreadful . been absolutely dreadful. >> all shaun bailey i believe you actually agree with me in terms of my prescription on her being really the most divisive politician we've had in a very long time. >> dan i very rarely write notes for your show , but at the top of for your show, but at the top of my notes i've written the word hypocrite. she she is the most sneering politician i'd argue possibly in the world. and that's a big feat considering we have our very own sidique khan here to deal with as well, and the way in which he conducts exactly in which she exactly the way in which she

conducted the conducted herself lowered the level relations between in level of relations between in between england and scotland in such a way it could take a decade to repair. but the most important thing i think this shows of those shows is she's one of those people. one rule for her and another rule for everybody else. the asked for the fact that she's asked for this after the way she's this change after the way she's conducted herself something conducted herself says something very and this very important to me. and this is sound like leap. is going to sound like a leap. but seeing here is a but what you're seeing here is a bully. does bully. what a bully often does is change the parameters around them to suit themselves. she spent over a decade bullying people . and now that she's on people. and now that she's on the back foot, all of a sudden she wants to change the rules. and they are she wants civility i >> -- >> now, -_ >> now, i'll emma m >> now, i'll i'll tell you why they ask you. >> the measure of a person is how they behave when they had power. yes. yes. and she behaved like a bully then. and now she's trying to change the rules. this turned my stomach because i'm so upset that she would try to pull the wool over our eyes as if we weren't paying attention. and i truly believe she's no longer the leader of scotland. not just because policies, not

because of barmy policies, not because of barmy policies, not because there's sort trans because there's sort of trans stuff, because of because there's sort of trans stufdisgraceful because of because there's sort of trans stufdisgraceful attitude. se of because there's sort of trans stufdisgraceful attitude. and: her disgraceful attitude. and that's nobody wanted that's why nobody wanted to support end . support her in the end. absolutely. >> i completely agree with that, because the thing is, are because the thing is, scots are good are good people. yes. and they are kind people. and while for kind people. yes. and while for a long time they did buy into her separatism pipe dream, i think end they realised think by the end they realised that actually they wanted to rise above the reign of sturgeon . amy nicholl , why on earth is . amy nicholl, why on earth is this woman demanding civility now ? why did she no civility now? why did she no civility show no civility during her decade plus in charge? >> well, it's interesting, isn't it? because i think you talk about the measure of a person. i think you can measure a person by the way they respond to things they've done in the things that they've done in the past. and they take responsibility and she responsibility and today, she admitted responsibility for her mistakes. and she says she's changed her perspective after she's left the political frontline. so she's admitting that, yes, she might have been divisive in the past, but she wants to change that to going forward. and that's something

you rarely see in politics, particularly from the tory party, never take any party, who never take any account for responsibility when they do things wrong. >> yeah, the smirk on her face, the apology, that wasn't really an apology. just lets me know she's not sincere which makes it even worse. and also she did she did the thing that people on the left often do they make it the tory party. i'll tell you why. this is terrible. when you're a politician, there's two ways to play politician, there's two ways to play the game. you can disagree with someone's argument or you can disagree with that person . can disagree with that person. she was one of the people on the left painted the left who painted people on the right people , which means right as bad people, which means you can never recover. you can you can never recover. you can never you can never recover. you can never a you can never recover. you can never a debate. never have a debate. >> she won eight elections in >> so she won eight elections in a row. she's undeniably, hugely popular in something that none of the current that rishi or the five other prime ministers we've had this boris might have can claim , can claim to have done. claim, can claim to have done. >> but today but today that eight minutes, that minute eight minutes, that eight minute statement queen's statement that was the queen's statement. so much for the ever

so humble. i'm so sorry. i'm sorry. she was standing sorry. she was she was standing and what does she have to be sturgeon, though ? sturgeon, though? >> we are not denying that. she was popular. however was incredibly popular. however good first ministers, good prime ministers realised that after an election they were actually representing their entire country. and i think what i found despicable about found so despicable about sturgeon was when she went on the was her true the bbc and it was her true colours. that's what she's like behind doors and said colours. that's what she's like behidetests doors and said colours. that's what she's like behidetests the oors and said colours. that's what she's like behidetests the toriesnd said colours. that's what she's like behidetests the tories becauseaid she detests the tories because remember , there are lot of remember, there are a lot of tories scotland. and so what tories in scotland. and so what she's is that part her she's saying is that part of her people, part of her population, she detests , it's, well, these she detests, it's, well, these extraordinary scottish tories. >> i know, and i've been saying this to you for a while, they've beenin this to you for a while, they've been in touch with me. be absolutely she absolutely saying when she falls, the stuff that's falls, oh boy, the stuff that's going to come out because that woman ran scotland her woman ran scotland as her personal fiefdom . any opposition personal fiefdom. any opposition was brutally suppressed . was brutally suppressed. >> i mean, about the finances. don't talk about the finances. >> i wonder why. wonder why. so this is all a bit sort of like, yes, nicey . nicey nicey nicey,

yes, nicey. nicey nicey nicey, indeed. >> and of course, we will stress again, despite her arrest, she denies all wrongdoing . amy denies all wrongdoing. amy nicholl, lord bailey, allison pearson, my superstar panel with us all night. and i hope you are, too, because we have a very big show on the way, including prince harry becoming the first royal to speak out ahead of the first anniversary of the late queen's passing . as you know , i queen's passing. as you know, i was unable to attend the awards last year when my grandmother passed away . passed away. >> as you also probably know, she would have been the first person to insist that i still come to be with you all instead of going to her lady colin campbell and phil dampier react live to thank and rank the king's first year in office. >> shortly. but first in the clash is carol vorderman at midst conservative party chairman greg hands had no part in the awarding of a £258 million ppe contract. should she be axed by the bbc for her blatant political bias? we've got an alias line up on this

didn't take her peace with life before she died. what i am saying, however, is she certainly did not approve of harry's tragic story and any pretence to the contrary is a lie . lie. >> phil dampier what do we know about. >> phil dampier what do we know about . about what? charles? about. about what? charles? william and kate are going to do to mark the first anniversary of the late queen's death? i mean, we're pretty certain, aren't we, that they are not going to find time to see harry, even though he's in the country ? he's in the country? >> no. good evening, dan. >> no. good evening, dan. >> well, as you know, as you say, we know that the king is up at balmoral. as lady says, at balmoral. as lady c says, i think will be a statement think there will be a statement tomorrow, a very brief statement think there will be a statement tom(the v, a very brief statement think there will be a statement tom(the v, a ve family statement think there will be a statement tom(the v, a ve family is:atement think there will be a statement tom(the v, a ve family is rallied|t that the whole family is rallied around recent weeks. around in recent weeks. >> they've put on a of >> they've put on a show of unity up balmoral, haven't unity up at balmoral, haven't they? the polls are they? and i think the polls are showing that. generally speaking , the monarchy up 60% , the monarchy is holding up 60% support for the monarchy, which is roughly what it was when the queen was alive. so think queen was alive. so i think they've taken mean, they've taken it on. i mean, i have to pinch myself sometimes. it's a year. it's incredible,

isn't it? funnily enough, kind it's a year. it's incredible, isrsometimes,yenough, kind it's a year. it's incredible, isrsometimes,y en

persona straight away and carried . he thought that was carried out. he thought that was brilliant. the only reason i give him a ten is because i think he has dithered a bit over what do with all these homes. what to do with all these homes. he's an embarrassment of he's got an embarrassment of riches. i think he could have sorted that out a lot quicker and still see and i'd still like to see him going of other going to one of the other countries he's of countries that he's head of state. i he's going to be state. i know he's going to be invited. know some these invited. i know some of these countries want to get rid of the monarchy, but i still think that going and france going to germany and france first give out a message first doesn't give out a message that in that his heart is in the commonwealth that commonwealth the same way that his i know it's his mother was. so i know it's going happen next but going to happen next year, but i'd like to have seen it happen more quickly. >> look, sussexes weird >> now look, the sussexes weird little that odd little mouthpiece, that odd bloke, very odd bloke, omid scobie, very odd looking man, is releasing his latest money spinning in latest money spinning book in the weeks , which he the coming weeks, which he has revealed include an entire revealed will include an entire chapter prince william titled chapter on prince william titled gloves on prince william, heir to the throne . now, lady c, to the throne. now, lady c, should the royal family be concerned over what scobie may reveal here? or actually, do we just now know that all he does is pump out effectively pr on

behalf of harry and meghan ? behalf of harry and meghan? >> well, first of all, dan, i don't know why you called him old. told me his name is omid scabies. scabies is the condition that causes all sorts of itchy and, you know, i think he's just pathetic and i don't think the prince william needs to worry about a thing because everybody knows omid scabies is harry and meghan's joseph goebbels, the minister of propaganda. and there's nothing he says that is grounded in reality . it's grounded he says that is grounded in reality. it's grounded in meghan rhiannon and herodian reality, which is on reality. i think the man is absolutely pathetic and, you know, anybody who believes him is has to be a member of the flat earth society . flat earth society. >> haha great line and i totally

agree. but the problem is phil he has the woke american media eating out of his hands as yeah, don't like judging a book by its cove r. >> coven >> dani coven >> dan i don't like judging a book without reading it, but i will. i will make an exception in his case. i mean there's lady c says we know it's going to be propaganda. we know it's going to be pro harry and meghan. it's going be anti william and going to be anti william and kate. of the few kate. i suppose one of the few things that might worry them is that harry meghan get that harry and meghan will get only work for only to do their dirty work for them, which they did with finding i if he finding freedom. i mean, if he reveals name of the alleged reveals the name of the alleged racist member of the royal family who asked about archie's skin colour, that will kick it all off again, and they could do without that. but whatever he comes up with, i still think they have same tactic. they will have the same tactic. they just never complain, never explain. fight back explain. they won't fight back and whatever he says, i don't think the public up think the public will make up their minds about it, and their own minds about it, and i don't think it'll alter the support that the royal family has. you just wish has. but you know, he just wish he'd go away, wouldn't you

really , phil dampier, lady colin really, phil dampier, lady colin campbell, my royal master. >> thank you both so much. but coming up, with the cost of removing empty migrant dinghies from the channel, totally more than £2 million for the british taxpayer each year is now the time for rishi sunak to toughen up and introduce a turn back policy to avoid any more of this madness , my superstar panel will madness, my superstar panel will tackle plus, have tackle that, plus, we'll have the first of tomorrow's newspaper pages just after newspaper front pages just after ten. don't anywhere. but ten. so don't go anywhere. but next with shadow justice secretary with the shadow secretary with the new shadow justice secretary blaming the isolated prison escape terror isolated prison escape of terror suspect califf directly suspect daniel califf directly on , is this nothing on rishi sunak, is this nothing more opportunistic tory more than opportunistic tory bashing an out—of—touch bashing from an out—of—touch labour party? former prisons minister ann widdecombe? she knows all about this and she'll be live to set labour's straight, straight after but

breaking tonight, the terror suspect, daniel kalief , still on suspect, daniel kalief, still on

the loose after escaping from wandsworth prison yesterday morning . kalief was working in morning. kalief was working in the prison's kitchen when he is believed to have absconded by strapping himself to the underside food delivery underside of a food delivery van. justice secretary alex chalk announced that an independent investigation into the incident will take place, adding daniel kalief will be caught. but the labour shadow minister, fresh in her job, minister, fresh in herjob, shabana mahmood ah, said that sort of rivalled keir starmer really for political opportunism as she tried to pin the prison break on rishi sunak personally watch . watch. >> i think the government has very serious questions to answer . we know that the criminal justice system after 13 years of tory government, it is in a state of disrepair. we know that there are huge problems with prisons and prison places in particular, and as as we've seen, there is now a terror suspect on the loose, having escaped from wandsworth prison. so big questions for the government to answer, frankly , government to answer, frankly, rishi sunak needs to get a grip

i >> -- >> oh, -_ >> oh, well, one woman who knows just how serious the situation is the former prisons minister and widdecombe but an isn't this just an out and out irresponsible political point scoring to derail hinckley try and blame the prime minister rather than actually look at why this man escaped at. >> indeed , it's utterly >> indeed, it's utterly irresponsible . irresponsible. >> it's also slightly farcical. >> it's also slightly farcical. >> it's also slightly farcical. >> i imagine anybody actually watching that interview would begin to laugh because she doesn't even start to make the case. >> everybody knows what happened i >> -- >> he strapped himself to the under part of a vehicle and it went out through the prison gates and nobody on its way out of the prison gates put mirrors underneath or looked underneath or conducted any of the normal searches. it is straight forwardly down to the officers on duty, possibly to their supervisors , if they didn't supervisors, if they didn't ensure that discipline didn't

get lax in terms of these searches. >> but no way , no way does it >> but no way, no way does it reach even the director of the prison service, let alone a minister, and let alone the prime minister. now, i don't usually stand up for rishi sunak, but this is just blatant electioneering. she's irresponsible . well, i know irresponsible. well, i know she's only been in the job five minutes. she should be out within five minutes as well. yeah totally, totally. >> couldn't agree more. and from your perspective as prisons minister, what would you be doing in a situation like this ? doing in a situation like this? well, first of all, of course , well, first of all, of course, there should never have been any possibility that a car could either come or go at both ways without a search, because when it's coming in, it could be bringing in drugs. >> you don't know what it could do. so there should always be such as in both directions. that is not difficult to do. i mean, it's not as if prison gates are a big , major it's not as if prison gates are a big, major public thoroughfare

where you cause an enormous problem by holding up cars. i mean, rubbish. it's easy to do. and i think in this sort of situation, i mean, obviously the priority will be to try and try and catch the man . but priority will be to try and try and catch the man. but in this sort of situation, i would simply be asking that director general, i would be asking the senior people in the prison service to inquire of the governor why it isn't routine in that prison to search vehicles. it's not an open prison. >> it's not even a cat trainer . >> it's not even a cat trainer. >> it's not even a cat trainer. >> it's a seriously secure prison, allegedly . prison, allegedly. >> allegedly. indeed look. time now for whitty's war on woke . now for whitty's war on woke. and doctor who star david tennant is to appear in a new adaptation of jilly cooper novel rivals , where he will play rivals, where he will play a media mogul cheering on the late, great margaret thatcher. but tennant must be acting through gritted teeth because speaking previously , this is

speaking previously, this is what he had to say. >> i started working in theatre in england. >> i would meet people and they would oh, i voted for would say, oh, i voted for margaret thatcher. the first time i heard saying that time i heard someone saying that i thought were i honestly thought they were joking. thinking, have joking. i'd be thinking, i have never anyone from your never met anyone from your world. what's it like ? world. what's it like? >> do you roast children over open fires ? still it open fires? i still find it impossible to believe that anyone the arts votes anyone in the arts votes conservative now . conservative now. >> and you say tennant is a bigot for those views ? bigot for those views? >> yes. he's a complete bigot. he doesn't believe that anybody in the arts should vote conservative. an awful lot of them do. and i've talked to a lot of them. stage screen writing. i've talked to an awful lot of people in the arts, and many of them tell me that it was thatcher who enabled their parents to buy their council house and thus started the family on the property ladder. and people have actually said that to me. they've said, you know, mrs. thatcher did things for me and if this man can't understand that, then on, you

know, i mean, he's an intelligent man, so it's not that he can't understand it because he's thick, he can't understand it because he's too bigoted to want to understand it . i mean, do you roast children over open fires ? i mean. well, over open fires? i mean. well, take that. >> this is ludicrous. it's ludicrous language, though . anne ludicrous language, though. anne isn't. i know he's not using it literally, but come on. >> yeah, i agree. it's inflammatory language and it's silly language . he didn't mean silly language. he didn't mean it literally . and i'm not going it literally. and i'm not going to get into an uproar about that metaphor . what i'm disgusted at metaphor. what i'm disgusted at is that he who parades as a liberal and as somebody who understands the arts and all these things, he simply can't understand that there might be any view other than his own. and thatis any view other than his own. and that is the very definition of bigot. >> yeah . and of course, actually >> yeah. and of course, actually , see, this is why people in the entertainment industry, anne, are too scared to speak out

publicly on issues that are actually really important and that deserve debate like trans rights, like puberty blockers for kids. because if they do look at what's happened to roisin murphy, look at what's happened alice cooper, they happened to alice cooper, they are and are cancelled immediately. and it's of people like it's because of people like david . david tennant. >> indeed. i mean, that's absolutely true. i mean, david tennant might not believe in cancelling, but fact is that cancelling, but the fact is that once you maintain position once you maintain a position that nobody can have a contrary view , then you create view, then you create the atmosphere in which cancelling becomes norm and that is becomes the norm and that is exactly why so many people in showbiz and so many people from the stage and elsewhere are simply don't want to speak out because there are too many. david are too scared. >> they're too scared . and when >> they're too scared. and when it comes. thank you so much. we will speak next week. but coming up, meeting william up, after meeting prince william earlier treating him earlier today and treating him to a smooch that he could to a smooch that only he could get i'm very excited get away with, i'm very excited to be joined by the footballing legend, paul gascoigne, for an exclusive live interview. trust

spending a whopping £2 million of taxpayer cash on private boats to pick up the empty dinghies left abandoned by illegal migrants in the channel leaked documents obtained by the times newspaper showed the home office paid a scottish maritime business £577,000 every three months for two vessels dubbed by local fishermen, a, quote, total waste of money just to take the crafts away. add that to the staggering £6 million a day cost of putting them up in hotels and it becomes plain why this emergency needs to be solved now. meanwhile, mucky macron is ignonng now. meanwhile, mucky macron is ignoring calls for the french to intercept boats before they reach british waters as but alison, i know this is a small cost in the scheme of things. right. but it does show how ludicrous this situation has become . so, what, £500 million become. so, what, £500 million to macron simply to allow the french to escort the boats into our waters. another £2 million simply to remove the dinghies from our waters. this could all

be stopped, alison. this could all be stopped if we instituted all be stopped if we instituted a turn back policy. and i believe you want the navy involved. >> well, you know me, dan hardcore thatcherite . i'd have hardcore thatcherite. i'd have the i'd have a naval blockade . the i'd have a naval blockade. you know, i mean, there's a reason why this country hasn't been occupied as other countries have, is because we have the blessing of the english channel, don't we? it's always repelled invaders. always been very, invaders. it's always been very, very easy for our island to be defended. >> and this is an invasion. >> and this is an invasion. >> it is an invasion. and, well, suella braverman got told off for it invasion, but it for calling it invasion, but it is young men have is 22,000, mainly young men have come this come across the channel this year and yes, £2 million year alone and yes, £2 million adds insult to injury because they get in the boats they get across the line and then the rnli and our border force go out and pick them up and they abandon the dinghies. and then mr from from the mr mctavish, from from from the shetland islands comes down and puts in a bill for £2 million. but as you said, it's a drop in the ocean compared to the 2 billion a year in hotel and only

going up costs just only one stat. okay my statistic of the week since the new rules came in in 2021 that anyone who had come in 2021 that anyone who had come in from a safe third country had to be deported. let's guess how many people the home office has deported to . deported to. >> oh, my goodness. >> oh, my goodness. >> two. >> two. >> oh, my goodness. >> oh, my goodness. >> so there's no hope then? there's did you say £2 million is just a drop in the ocean? >> but it's not when you consider the costs that are stacking up. and i'm sick of it. i don't want another penny of mine going into this. >> i know this is the cost of the illegal migration bill, which was immoral and impractical on every single level and is now costing billions because if you make a plan that purely detains people in definitely with no hope of processing them, no hope of making any use of their potential , this is what you get. potential, this is what you get. you get a very, very, very expensive detention program. >> shaun bailey there's two things. >> firstly , someone in scotland

>> firstly, someone in scotland is making a killing. good luck to them. >> sean and i are volunteering to start running a dinghy rescue business. absolutely. >> i, i respect the hustle, but actually £2 million. will it really signifies is just how big the £500 million is. and i think it's the £500 million is. and i think wsfime the £500 million is. and i think it's time for the government to have an assessment of where all this money we're spending is going. let's be very clear. the government will have to deal with the migrants. now, how you want to deal with them is another discussion, but it will have to dealt but any have to be dealt with. but any money we put there, let's money we put in there, let's try and some bang our buck. and get some bang for our buck. if this money if we're paying all this money to france, for instance, and they're not providing the service, let's take the money back and do the service ourselves just go to ourselves. and just to go to amy's about the illegal amy's point about the illegal migration the bill in and migration bill, the bill in and of itself isn't what's what's causing this to be big cost. causing this to be a big cost. it's the migration itself . and it's the migration itself. and i've said it before and i'll say it again, the solution to this is and when people is in national and when people keep saying, oh, we'll just have people in, that's fine if that's your policy. remember , it your policy. but remember, it has cost and where the

has a real cost and where the backlash come is very backlash will come is very little respect for the bill payen little respect for the bill payer. so you could say it's only £2 million. but if you're someone who's struggling make someone who's struggling to make ends been in an ends meet, you've been in an overcrowded flat for overcrowded council flat for however long. know, you've however long. you know, you've just your job and £2 just lost yourjob and £2 million seems like an awful lot of money to waste. couldn't agree couldn't more i >> l: k— k at almost exactly this >> now, at almost exactly this time last year , the late queen time last year, the late queen pulled out of a meeting of the privy council , sparking concern privy council, sparking concern across the country . what across the country. what followed was the most extraordinary 12 days in british history , as the whole country history, as the whole country pulled together to mourn the passing of our greatest ever monarch. one woman at the heart of it all was our then new prime minister liz truss, who guided the nation through our grief . the nation through our grief. our royal correspondent cameron walker has this exclusive interview with the former pm as she lifts the lid on leading a country in unprecedented mourning. >> liz truss , welcome to gb news. >> how involved were you in

ago, we were all preparing for the worst . but after the the worst. but after the increasingly unwell late queen pulled out of a privy council session via video link at the last minute in an exclusive interview with gb news royal correspondent cameron walker, the then prime minister, liz truss, has tonight remembered that dawning real ization of what was to come originally was going to be a video call then that turned into a phone call and then it was postponed. >> were you given any special indication that her majesty's health had taken a turn for the worse on that day? >> well, so i arrived quite at just before 6 pm. for the meeting . and everybody was there meeting. and everybody was there sort of waiting around. and we waited for a few minutes. and then the news arrived that the queen would no longer be able to do the meeting, and that was the first i heard of it. but clearly it was a very ominous sign. and when the worst happened, the uk

would pull together in grief as the greatest country on earth . the greatest country on earth. >> personally, i'll never forget broadcasting throughout that momentous week starting outside buckingham palace as the announcement of the death was made, there is an eerie silence here at buckingham palace tonight. just moments ago, the flag lowered to half mast, confirming the news that the queen is dead. the queen is like no other historical figure . her no other historical figure. her impact will not be repeated in our lifetimes. perhaps never again . again. >> but she was just always there. >> and therefore, she was always going to be there. >> and now suddenly, you know, the nation's mother, grandmother, grandmother , grandmother, great grandmother, has suddenly seemed sudden , has suddenly seemed sudden, suddenly gone. >> she embraced her destiny and she embraced , placed duty. you she embraced, placed duty. you know, she happily did her duty. >> i saw it and i thought, i can't believe this. but on the other hand, i'm very pleased she's come home. >> and she had this innate

glamour about her. >> and there was a frisson in the air. you knew that she was in the building, you know what i mean? >> and i think what's been really remarkable is that people of backgrounds are of such diverse backgrounds are all loyalty to britain. >> we are proud of her and proud of our great country. and more unhed of our great country. and more united than we have been in many years . well i'm delighted to years. well i'm delighted to welcome to the studio now , welcome to the studio now, robert lacey, biographer of her late majesty. and historian on the award winning netflix series the crown. so robert, look, it is hard to believe , isn't it, is hard to believe, isn't it, that all took place a year ago . that all took place a year ago. the news we knew was coming, given the late queen's health. but we were dreading. we one year on do you think we know the impact of that event and how do you think the king has done to steady the ship ? steady the ship? >> i think we do know.

>> i think we do know. >> you know, the monarchy is one of the most hold in institutions in britain . in britain. >> i've got the figures here. there's no need to hold them up. >> what's interesting about those moments that you've just shown when they represented in polling terms an enormous surge in support for the monarchy, all those questions about what do you think of it? >> is it value for money? every body said , yes, this matters body said, yes, this matters because clearly the emotion that people were feeling couldn't be interpreted in any other way. now, your second question, what's happened over the last year again , looking at the polls year again, looking at the polls , the figures have gone down slightly, but not much. 65% of people in a poll i think coming out tonight or tomorrow say this is an average of britain say that they they favour the monarchy. now politicians would bite your hand off for 65% approval. of course, young people and i think rather

healthily we young people have a question mark. they're not sure if this is the best system , if this is the best system, thousand year old institution in. that's essentially a matter of inheritance. >> and some people , robert, say >> and some people, robert, say that that is in part because they are watching your show. they are watching the crowd and they're thinking and learning for the time, oh, maybe for the first time, oh, maybe that charles bloke wasn't very nice to that. diana lady. however, for me it actually changed on the night that the king gave his televised address to the nation . i'd been critical to the nation. i'd been critical of charles, you know , he was of charles, you know, he was been wading into politics even a few weeks before the queen's death. he was commenting on the rwanda plan, for example, that felt highly inappropriate to me . but something changed that night with that address to the country . do you agree? country. do you agree? >> i agree . firstly, the crown >> i agree. firstly, the crown is not my show . i >> i agree. firstly, the crown is not my show. i am just the historical adviser . historical adviser. >> and many people argue with credit for it takes many people argue with the history. >> great by the >> but the great show, by the way, you. but the point

way, thank you. but the point you're saw that you're making, we saw that difference we saw difference that night. we saw feeling prince charles, feeling in what prince charles, the new king, said . now that the new king, said. now that feeling was something the queen drained from her public appearances. it was her nature . appearances. it was her nature. she was a shy person. and her interpretation of a neutral monarchy was to step back. what's been very interesting about king charles is the way in which he has with been the moderate limits of the constitution injected , muted constitution injected, muted feeling. we'd never seen that for 70 years in a royal broadcast . last but but there he broadcast. last but but there he was. and then modern man, a more modern man , and also a man who modern man, and also a man who showed who has showed how a king can get involved in things that matter. he's just endorsed for example, the campaign against food wastage. >> he has to be careful. well he has to be careful. >> but the one event i would pick out from his year was when president this president biden came to this

country. like all country. oh, yes. like all american presidents do. he wanted photo opportunity wanted his photo opportunity with the king. but he was going on to cop and it's very interesting. he spent more time with charles than he did with rishi sunak. now i don't know if that's more of an indictment on sunak, but there you go . the sunak, but there you go. the point i'm simply making is that he wanted more than the photo opportunity. he wanted substance from the king, and he got it indeed. >> as you know, robert, the main goal for the first year was to avoid a major scandal. there's been lots of landmines, right, because you've got the prince andrew landmine . that story is andrew landmine. that story is not going away because prince andrew is determined to clear his name. then you have the harry and meghan landmine . harry and meghan landmine. they're not going anywhere. but somehow charles has navigated through the first year. he hasn't inflamed his younger son too much more. he's tried to keep his brother on side and i actually think he's done a fairly good job at bringing a

family together that, let's be honest , were family together that, let's be honest, were very divided over the past few years of the late queen's reign. >> i agree. when it comes to harry, he was absolutely firm . harry, he was absolutely firm. the morning after spare came out, he stopped his royal privileges on the royal housing estate. he said. right. that's it. and interesting . harry and it. and interesting. harry and meghan accepted it . no it. and interesting. harry and meghan accepted it. no more frogmore cottage booted him out . when it comes to andrew, i thought it was very interesting that the day the saw that the day the way we saw andrew with william andrew in a car with william very. that wasn't just coincidence since that was flying a what's the expression? not flying a flag trying it out. he couldn't possibly go in a car with with with charles. but this was to see how the public would react. they did not react well. it's quite clear that prince andrew has not made the effort to redeem himself. i'm of an age where i remember a man called john profumo, who spent 15 years in obscurity in the east end of london, working to redeem what he'd done and only then did he come back in public. prince

andrew was made not the slightest attempt to apologise. he's paid off his accuser. i think he is finished. and i think he is finished. and i think prince charles is sorry. there you are. you see, even here you are on even here on 70 years we've seen a king who is much more decisive than we feel. and i would agree with you, i prefer king charles iii to prince charles. oh big time. >> big time. >> big time. >> absolutely. robert lacey, biographer of the late queen historical advisor to the crown, thank you so much . but it's historical advisor to the crown, thank you so much. but it's time now to reveal tonight's greatest britain in union jacks. now to reveal tonight's greatest britain in union jacks . and my britain in union jacks. and my superstar panel return, allison pearson , who's your nominee for pearson, who's your nominee for tonight's greatest britain >> well, having seen your package, dan, i'm to have package, dan, i'm going to have a shimmy. i must say, a little shimmy. and i must say, the greatest britain ever. of course, the late queen elizabeth ii, also week. ii, but also this week. fantastic. a go, heroes in fantastic. have a go, heroes in sloane street sitting on a watch thief because the cops just aren't around. oh, yes. >> and i think we have a look at
