yeah of good weather. so far this year. home office figures show 144 migrants crossed yesterday in three small boats. today two boats crossed carrying 120 people. a residential street in glasgow was evacuated today after the discovery of a suspected unexploded ordnance device in a back garden in police. scotland say they were called shortly after midday when it was dug up. the explosive ordnance disposal team was dispatched to the area and a cordon was put in place. people in surrounding properties were evacuated as a precaution . in evacuated as a precaution. in surrey, police say they're working to secure the safe return of saira sharif's five siblings from pakistan . the ten siblings from pakistan. the ten year old girl was found dead at her home in woking in surrey last month. her father , last month. her father, stepmother and uncle left the uk a day before with all her siblings as well. surrey police says it's now working with its international partners after a pakistani court ruled the

like the world cup. we will now introduce regular surge pricing, as it's called out on tv , as it's called out on tv, online, dab+ radio and the tune—in app. this is gb news, britain's news . britain's news. channel the establishment media might try and turn a blind eye, but the invasion of great britain via our southern border has continued at pace. >> this week. our home and security editor mark white has revealed that more than 3250 illegals have crossed the engush illegals have crossed the english channel in 11 straight days of small boat activity to coincide with the longest run of good weather this year, with another 120 arriving today alone, it's a national emergency that has seen public satisfaction in the government's handung satisfaction in the government's handling of immigration reached the highest level since the

brexit referendum in 2016. remember that was a seismic democrat game changer that was meant to see us take back control of our borders. instead, we're being laughed at by the international community because of our toothless prime minister who's not prepared to match his tough rhetoric with the action required to make the boat stop , required to make the boat stop, which he promised us, he promised us was our top priority . french president macky macron in particular, has treated us like fools , accepting nearly like fools, accepting nearly half a billion pounds to do all. proof of that came today in a shocking daily express undercover investigation, revealing that the french police officers paid by british taxpayers to stop the crossings , have admitted they are letting small boats cross the channel one one officer said this to the newspapers. reporter we don't stop the migrants. >> it's not our job to stop them. a couple of days ago, i let a family go that wanted to leave. they touched my heart before. we are cops , but we are

before. we are cops, but we are humans. when i see those migrant families, i just want to let them be. i should not say that. but we cannot welcome all the misery in the world in france . misery in the world in france. >> in fact, rather than trying to stop the boats, the french officers priority was wild partying . and while that is how the french police meant to be helping to solve the crisis, choose to act. this situation gets more serious by the day with increasing indications that more hardened criminals are making the journey across the channel. so if macron is going to refuse to do what he's promised , then sunak must

he's promised, then sunak must demand our £480 million back then immediately , we use the then immediately, we use the navy to institute a turn back policy . but to respond. now, my policy. but to respond. now, my superstar panel, former government cabinet minister and gb news presenter esther mcvey. the concern of commentator kelvin robinson and the author and journalist rebecca reid, kelvin robinson . this was an kelvin robinson. this was an absolutely sickening investigation because to me it proves that the french are taking the money and actually they have no intentions of stopping the boats. quite the opposite. >> why would they? it's in their interest to let them all come over here. but we've been saying this for years now . it's like this for years now. it's like the worst i told you so ever. oh, excuse me. 3250 illegal immigrants over the last less than two weeks. it's a joke. they're taking the absolute miracle out of us. they're laughing at us and taking all our money in response. we should stop funding france, stop putting money the border to putting money over the border to get fix issue. get them to fix the issue. instead, turn the boats around. if to if we're not going to have gunboats least the

gunboats at least return the illegal immigrants france and illegal immigrants to france and let french deal with let the french deal with them. and should the legal and we should process the legal asylum claims much faster. put all the money we're giving to france into the civil service so we can actually process claims more than what is it, one week more than what is it, one a week or something we're doing at or something that we're doing at the moment because esther mcvey, your constituent, will be furious watching this video revealed by the daily express. >> of course, the newspaper where you have a column we should we should but should we should mention. but you was great you know, this was great journalism. they've actually exposed while lot of us exposed while a lot of us expected and which is that the french police don't really want to stop the boats. i mean, they actually speaking to lots of the migrants and saying, oh, it's fine, it's fine. i think you deserve to go and invade the uk i >> -- >> well, i think there's truth in that, isn't there? because if one less person goes to the uk, that's one more person in france. so they will say, we don't have the incentives to stop people going to the uk. so

you've got £480 million. as calvin said, there , it could be calvin said, there, it could be best spent on something else. it is a three year deal. you won't get the money back. you've already paid. but i'll tell you one thing i'd be looking for break clauses so they break clauses now so they haven't the rest of the. but haven't got the rest of the. but why can't we demand it back? >> esther, they're not doing the job. are not doing was job. they are not doing what was promised they barely promised. and they have barely stopped the boats coming in. it's gone . it's something like a it's gone. it's something like a reduction of 2% since we handed over all at the time, everybody knew there wasn't a simple solution. >> there wasn't a silver bullet to do it. and we were going to be trying to do everything every tiny thing that we possibly could. and this of could. and so this was one of them. with france, of them. a deal with france, of which you've had many equally. you they you can't prove that they haven't done stuff. going you can't prove that they halook done stuff. going you can't prove that they halook at»ne stuff. going you can't prove that they halook at justtuff. going you can't prove that they halook at just the going you can't prove that they halook at just the figures going to look at just the figures alone now. it's £6 million a day for the hotel bill here. it's half £1 million a day what half £1 million a day for what we're paying to france. you we're paying to france. so you could were just could say if you were just looking the numbers that looking at the numbers that we've stopped, a 12th of those coming you've the coming over, you've stopped the increase in hotel bills. so i think and prove that it

think to try and prove that it hasn't anything, think hasn't done anything, i think you'll difficult. you'll find that difficult. therefore, won't be able to therefore, you won't be able to get back. so but i'd get the money back. so but i'd be looking to stop it going forward. but what i will say is this is not the solution. they they incentives they don't have the incentives to us here. and we have to to help us here. and we have to then say, you won't get the money because it could be better spent elsewhere. we have tried. >> can you amongst your >> can i ask you amongst your colleagues, there an appetite >> can i ask you amongst your co solve|es, there an appetite >> can i ask you amongst your co solve this there an appetite >> can i ask you amongst your co solve this problem? appetite >> can i ask you amongst your co solve this problem? because to solve this problem? because we know it began really in 97 with with the labour party, but it's the it's accelerated since the tories came to power. they tories came to power. do they really on really want to cut down on illegal immigration? >> i mean, >> absolutely they do. i mean, everybody does. it's the number one i would say most one issue. i would say in most people's seats. they've got to do here. i just don't do something here. i just don't believe solution. believe it's a simple solution. and there could and when you look, there could be a billion on the be a billion people on the planet trying to get to the uk because think it's the land because they think it's the land that wants to to. that everybody wants to come to. it difficult, though. they it is difficult, though. they will you have do will also say you do have to do a deal france because a deal with france because france will say the pull to get to is bringing through to the uk is bringing through them through europe and to them through europe and going to france they do france as well. so they do believe there is something that

france could do. like france could do. but like i said, this isn't the solution. i have to say we need to get the rwanda done. need to rwanda deal done. we need to know we will sending know that we will be sending them third countries. them to other third countries. >> rebecca, the issue >> i mean, rebecca, the issue for is that we're allowing for me is that we're allowing mucky treat us like mucky macron to treat us like absolute fools. but why wouldn't he? >> we're giving him money for something he's apparently something that he's apparently not so indeed, so doesn't not doing. so indeed, so doesn't rishi actually to rishi sunak actually need to stop ridiculous stop with this ridiculous diplomacy which isn't working and actually talk tough and threatened to stop giving the money? i don't think he should threaten. i think stop giving it. there is no good reason that france would want that would want to help. we haven't been particularly in particularly nice to them in 2016, if brexit 2016, macron said. if brexit happens, but then this happens, sorry, but then this situation is going to get worse for uk and that's exactly for the uk and that's exactly what doing for what he's doing this for political reasons. well, i just think care what think he doesn't care what possible could have possible incentive could he have to life worse? i to make his own life worse? i think the bit that asking think the bit that we're asking literally the french patrol boats literally escort these boats literally escort these boats into british. >> what i would say. so what we then to be doing this then need to be doing and this is totally i'm sure is totally legal, i'm sure you're opposed it,

you're totally opposed to it, but what our army needs to then be doing and it is possible because did it is because australia did it is safely turning back the boats into . french into. french >> well, i think i think honestly that just becomes completely circular. i think what actually needs to happen is a grown up conversation about how you overcome the that how you overcome the fact that as a person working in border control, is from what this control, it is from what this person said. and i did think person has said. and i did think the was the express journalism was really impressive here. what we're overlooking is it's a very, very, very hard job to do because you looking people because you are looking people in the and saying, in the eye and saying, i understand you need this. understand that you need this. i'm family, me, and i'm looking at a family, me, and i'm looking at a family, me, and i'm going to send back i'm going to send you back anyway. and is a really, anyway. and that is a really, really thing to ask of really hard thing to ask of somebody. if we know, but if somebody. and if we know, but if we had a officer, we we had a police officer, if we took of money and we took all of that money and we had you're a police officer had if you're a police officer looking at a five year old that you're still human. >> you're going put them. >> so you're going to put them. okay, so you're going to put the five a boat that five year old in a boat that could sink in the middle of the channel without george iv 35. and you think that the responsible you responsible decision i think you have to be really, really

desperate that your humane decision. >> you decision. >> i think you have to be very desperate to put your child in the boat. desperate to put your child in the yout. desperate to put your child in the you do understand the >> you do understand that the calvin though. you do calvin is right, though. you do understand the vast majority of people are coming. >> children, them >> children, but some of them are my point is, are young. but my point is, loads them are criminals. loads of them are criminals. probably. the majority. >> probably the majority. >> probably the majority. >> if you stop giving france money we it, it money because we tried it, it didn't work. we're never going to money back. it's to get the money back. it's never worth for never worth looking for a refund. you just move on and then try and have the only then you try and have the only sensible thing anybody can come then you try and have the only sen come:hing anybody can come then you try and have the only sen come upg anybody can come then you try and have the only sen come up with, body can come then you try and have the only sen come up with, which an come then you try and have the only sen come up with, which is come up, come up with, which is a humane, safe place to humane, well—run, safe place to process uk process people that is on uk territory that we can then control. you can't say your control. but you can't say your problem, it. you problem, you deal with it. you it's you, it's not grown up, it's not you, it's not grown up, but it's not going to work. can the only way to do this is to humanely safely process humanely and safely process people on uk territory. >> rebecca they are in a first world country. yeah. >> turn the around. >> and you turn the boat around. why they not? why would they not? >> we make france, >> and also, if we make france, you back, keep you turn the back, you keep turning the boats around. turning the boats back around. and the navy were to and if the british navy were to do it, there would be strong do it, there would be a strong deterrent. and the people smuggling realise deterrent. and the people smuis ling realise deterrent. and the people smuis not realise deterrent. and the people smuis not the realise deterrent. and the people smuis not the route. realise deterrent. and the people smuis not the route. i realise deterrent. and the people smuis not the route. i mean, se this is not the route. i mean, because boats are simply

this is not the route. i mean, becau to boats are simply this is not the route. i mean, becau to be boats are simply this is not the route. i mean, becau to be turned are simply this is not the route. i mean, becau to be turned backmply going to be turned back and people to pay people are not going to pay £15,000 for boat going £15,000 for a boat that is going to turned back into french to be turned back into french waters. solutions. waters. and there are solutions. there not. there are solutions. >> i'm sorry. solutions. >> it's sorry. solutions. >> it's just y. solutions. >> it's just not going tough >> it's just not going be tough enough to do it. >> it were that simple, >> if it were that simple, somebody have it at somebody would have tried it at somebody would have tried it at some australia, some point. australia, i'd say you turn boat around you can't turn the boat around because don't have any because we don't have any international waters there. >> can't. it be >> therefore we can't. it can be whatever it could be whatever it can't, it could be in failure because there was lots of international waters there. we don't. so you could say, make say, let's make some international not french international waters, not french waters, but what waters, english waters. but what i will say dan, spot on, i will say and dan, is spot on, we've journey a lot we've made that journey a lot easier going out easier for people by going out and them. might easier for people by going out and we're them. might easier for people by going out and we're not them. might easier for people by going out and we're not going]. might easier for people by going out and we're not going to might easier for people by going out and we're not going to do.might easier for people by going out and we're not going to do. no, tl say we're not going to do. no, no, no. what you're going to no, no, no. what you're going to say should you arrive on our say is, should you arrive on our shores which shores illegally, which you have, arrested have, you will be arrested there. rebecca, won't there. and rebecca, we won't come and help you. but come out and help you. but that's do. and that's what the french do. and the have the the french then have done the criminal the french then have done the crir no al the french then have done the crir no one is saying that people >> no one is saying that people should drown. and, you know, the only that is going only thing that is going to cause to continue cause people to continue to drown being drown is people smugglers being allowed to do this. so until we stop boats, people keep stop the boats, people will keep on drowning. stop the boats, people will keep on i'owning. stop the boats, people will keep on i don'tig. stop the boats, people will keep on i don't care how you got >> i don't care how you got there. you are in sea and

there. if you are in the sea and there. if you are in the sea and there are people, some people who the channel who will who go on the channel who will say that lifeboat say that the lifeboat charity shouldn't we shouldn't save people, that we shouldn't say people are correct. >> f- correct. >> the french say that >> and if the french say that the a stronger the french were a bit stronger against criminal gangs, against those criminal gangs, making those illegal boats making sure those illegal boats didn't the with the didn't get in the water with the people, might the people, then it might stop the drug smugglers. >> and that's where the french, once sea, once you're in the sea, drowning, care you drowning, i don't care who you are got there, but are or how you got there, but you're to going we're you're not to going we're not going in the sea. going to let you in the sea. >> that's not true. i hear people saying no one disagreed. >> who disagree >> plenty of people who disagree on that. >> people disagree with the fact that has effectively that the rnli has effectively become the become a service to shepherd the boats into british waters. no one saying no one, not one is saying rnli. no one, not the french or the english authorities saying rnli authorities are saying the rnli should do, saying you are a lifeboat volunteer and they're all volunteers and is all volunteers and there is somebody the sea. somebody in the sea. >> what should they do? >> what should they do? >> they save people. >> exactly. so you can't have one the they're the one of the rnli. they're the nice people. nice lifeboat people. >> no is denying that. >> no one is denying that. rebecca calvin robertson, rebecca read, calvin robertson, esther panel esther mcvey, my superstar panel with us all night. but still to come, nigel farage has say come, nigel farage has his say on the shocking undercover investigator action. but next in the clash with the bbc expected

to be plunged into another major crisis the extent of crisis over the extent of freddie flintoff's injuries should top gear be axed for safety reasons? while we have the top gear presenter steve perry revealing some highly questionable safety secrets of the he'll do battle with the show, he'll do battle with charlie lawson anime manga . charlie lawson and anime manga. and what do you think though, dan news com vote in dan at gb news dot com vote in our gb news on twitter. our poll at gb news on twitter. back this. earlier

from three on gb news choose.

nigel farage. >> lets rip at the lazy french and the migrant crisis shortly, but time now for the clash and the bbc face has been plunged into yet another crisis after bombshell reports today claim that the hitman motoring show top gear could be axed following freddie flintoff's horror car crash nine months ago. the former england cricket star suffered horrific injuries in the dangerous high speed stunt and was recently pictured for the first time since the accident , bearing a the first time since the accident, bearing a huge the first time since the accident , bearing a huge scar accident, bearing a huge scar across his face. flintoff is yet to announce if he'll return to the show and has reportedly not even ruled out legal action. the smash sparked haunting memories of former presenter richard hammond's near fatal crash in 2006, where the bbc was slammed by safety chiefs as insiders now fear stunts could be left to professionals or scrapped altogether, sparking a collapse in viewership. former star james may has even weighed in, saying the bbc faces big, difficult

questions over top gear's future. so what do you think? should it be axed for safety reasons? down at gbnews.com? i know some people say that would be giving in to snowflake culture, so i'm interested in the results of our poll. go and vote now at gb news on twitter. but first to clash on this , but first to clash on this, former top gear presenter steve berry. he was on the show between 93 and 99 and had three crashes of his own during that time alongside him, the actor, former coronation street star charlie lawson , and the author charlie lawson, and the author and commentator anna may mangan . so steve, talk to me about your time on the show, because it sounds like actually top gear hasn't necessarily always put safety first. but is that something that you sign up for if you're a presenter , are you if you're a presenter, are you aware of the danger associated with working on top gear ? with working on top gear? >> well, the difference back then , dan, was that back then then, dan, was that back then they used to recruit motoring journalists . i'd been the editor

journalists. i'd been the editor of three motorbike magazines before i saw a tv camera , and i before i saw a tv camera, and i was completely aware of the dangers that could often occur in the world of power . two in the world of power. two wheelers. you know, i was under no illusion. motorcycles are dangerous . no illusion. motorcycles are dangerous. that's one of no illusion. motorcycles are dangerous . that's one of the dangerous. that's one of the reasons that i like them so much. you know, i've had probably 3 or 4 serious accidents in 40 years of motorcycling ones where you're lying there like somebody in a carry on with your leg in carry on film with your leg in the and, you know, you've the air and, you know, you've had a couple of mri scans and people clutching people are nervously clutching lucas and grapes at the lucas bottles and grapes at the end of the bed. but it's you know, i didn't think that would never happen . the problem for me never happen. the problem for me with modern top gear is that you're asking a cricketer and the sort of net or peter kay to do things that really should be done by people who know what they're doing, what the problem is, the viewer . that's the is, the viewer. that's the problem . problem. >> got it. so it's the fact that they're not experts out of interest, though, steve, you say you had three crashes when

you're actually on top gear. one of them was hushed up, but also that you were allowed to continue to film on top gear even though you had been banned from driving for six months. is that true? >> yes . well, i'm not. i just >> yes. well, i'm not. i just they just sent me abroad where i could still drive back then because there was something called an international driver's permit , which if you knew you permit, which if you knew you were going to get banned in the uk, you could go to an rac office, get one of these very official looking document tents, and if you went abroad, you could just show them that instead driving licence instead of a driving licence because knows, back because as everybody knows, back in when you produced in the day when you produced a british driving licence with no photograph, cops used to photograph, foreign cops used to look it like, what the hell look at it like, what the hell is you're like, that's is this? you're like, that's a driving and i had driving licence. and i had to photograph aukus and a big crest on the front. it didn't mean anything. was banned from anything. i was banned from driving uk and i'm not driving in the uk and i'm not complaining. i knew what the risks were. i'm glad my boss managed to keep me in a job, despite the fact that i was

banned from driving. but the problem is people want to problem now is people want to watch an amateur doing something that a professional should be doing. that's why come dancing, which is be on in the middle of the night with terry wogan extracting the urine out of professional ballroom dancers hasn't been telly 30 hasn't been on telly for 30 years, but strictly come dancing, is people who dancing, which is people who can't dance, trying to dance is prime time. saturday night. >> yeah, it's the celebrity . >> yeah, it's the celebrity. >> yeah, it's the celebrity. >> that's why they like evel knievel . why did people turn up knievel. why did people turn up to , oh, we've lost steve. to, oh, no, we've lost steve. >> but while we're trying to get him back, anna mangan, you say, no, this is incredible . no, this is incredible. dangerous and top gear should be axed. but don't these presenter sign up to it? anna may yeah, i mean, actually i don't necessarily. >> i think it should be moved from the bbc so that licence payers aren't paying to watch big dead boys, soon to be dead boys and their toys playing and then covering the cost of it. so move it to channel 4 and they

sport has its dangers. i mean , sport has its dangers. i mean, the bbc got rid of horse racing , and i know horse racing backwards have ridden in a race, and i know racehorses . horse and i know racehorses. horse racing dangerous , but you racing is dangerous, but you can't stop showing it on tv because it's dangerous . now the because it's dangerous. now the bbc have a winning formula here and. and they should keep it how. >> now. >> yeah, because you wouldn't know formula one, would you? >> would you see boxing the exact boxing and every other sports that we used to . sports that we used to. >> children used to be encouraged to participate in. they're now so risk averse. you know, you can't even play a game of conkers anymore. you know what i mean? >> no, but guess complained about it. >> i guess , though, what the >> i guess, though, what the issue here, though , steve, is issue is here, though, steve, is that you look at the pictures of freddie flintoff this is one of our most loved celebrities , as our most loved celebrities, as he clearly gone through he has clearly gone through absolute hell. is there not a little part of you, steve, that just feels like , oh, this is just feels like, oh, this is going to be really difficult for

the bbc to justify doing this show anymore ? show anymore? >> may i flipped a car filming the show upside down in a ditch , which completely destroyed it, had to climb out of that car. six months later, they said to me, oh, steve, could you just come and have a look at this screen? oh, there's a picture of you. you had different haircut you. you had a different haircut then you've got now . could then than you've got now. could you get that haircut again? because want that because we want to finish that feature. i went back and got in the rebuilt car and finished the feature . so to me, it's just feature. so to me, it's just like a lot of people will looking at him now and thinking that was months and months ago now and look at him now. what was it like? so . arade dam was it like? so. arade dam kahunais was it like? so. arade dam kahuna is compared to mr kahuna is prepared to mess about his own life. >> but the bbc shouldn't be paying >> but the bbc shouldn't be paying these people to do that. it's akin to taking masterchef and getting them all to have a bit knife throwing. and by bit of knife throwing. and by the way, it's not sport. the way, it's not a sport. it's not a sport. it's different to

boxing. >> and i'm sure charlie lawson, steve berry, former top gear presenter, fascinating debate. thank you all. i should say both sides of the story here on gb news for the health and safety executive has cleared the bbc of any breaches over flintoff's clash corporation declined any breaches over flintoff's clicommentzorporation declined any breaches over flintoff's clicomment tonight on declined any breaches over flintoff's clicomment tonight on what|ed any breaches over flintoff's clicomment tonight on what iti to comment tonight on what it called speculation about the future of the so who do future of the show. so who do you with? top gear you agree with? should top gear be reasons ? sean be axed for safety reasons? sean writes gear fan and writes i'm a top gear fan and i don't think it should be axed. but after richard hammond's accident in 2006, the show has clearly any lessons clearly not learned any lessons from stewart. the show should have axed after hammond's have been axed after hammond's crash, clarkson's crash, then after clarkson's firing , it certainly should firing, and it certainly should be now but the beeb too be cut now. but the beeb too arrogant to consider it. and valerie the world will be valerie writes the world will be an extremely depressing place when risks and when we stop taking risks and wrap in cotton wool. wrap ourselves in cotton wool. your verdict now an your verdict is now an interesting this. just 39% of you say top gear should be axed for safety reasons. 61% of you saying that it should on. saying that it should go on. nigel farage is standing by. first, though, the weather looks like things are heating up.

mumford and sons musician winston marshall speaks out on this live soon. the next after a bombshell undercover investigation from the daily express exposes french police for partying in calais and failing to patrol the beaches . failing to patrol the beaches. it's now obvious that macky macron cannot be relied upon to stop the boats. nigel farage will explain why rishi sunak is being taken for a complete and utter fool. farage live

isabel monday to thursdays from . six till 930 .

. six till 930. >> winston marshall and tom bower both live in the studio soon though. first though, what the farage time and as i covered in my digest at the top of the show, a bombshell at daily express investigation has exposed french police prioritising partying prioritising drunken partying over stopping the small boats in calais, with officers admitting they have been allowing the dangerous dinghies to set sail from french shores and telling the undercover journalist, it's the undercoverjournalist, it's not them. that's not our job to stop them. that's despite the £480 million of british taxpayers money directly funding their work. so nigel macky macron, he can't be trusted to stop the small boats . should the government should rishi sunak be demanding the £480 million back? i mean , this £480 million back? i mean, this is outrageous . is outrageous. >> oh, dan, you're under clubbing here terribly. >> this is nearly £800 million that we've spent since 2017. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah.

>> all right. >> all right. >> £800 million. now, look, i'm not against people partying and having loads of fun. in fact, i'm for rather it. but when you learn, when you learn from and let's be fair to the express , let's be fair to the express, it's a brilliant piece of investigative journalism. it really is. when you discover they're actually partying till six in the morning, they they are partying as the boats are leaving the beaches because many do leave before first light. and then those conversations look, our priority is to make sure calais is safe , not to stop the calais is safe, not to stop the boats. now on the one hand, i get it, you know, looking after your national interest, which we did a bit more of that, but why have we given £800 million? and i've seen tik tok videos today of boats launching with the police. little italy, the french police. little italy, the french police literally standing there and watching it. and all of

this, of course, because of a eu policy that says that anyone that crosses the mediterranean can stay . and of course, because can stay. and of course, because of schengen, they can move from italy or spain or greece or wherever it is through to france . and we have just wasted £800 million. it is making very little difference at all. and the only reason that sunak can throw the numbers are down 17% this year is the weather in july and august was so be awful. look at the numbers . 3250 have at the numbers. 3250 have crossed in the last 11 days alone . we're at 24,000 for the alone. we're at 24,000 for the yeah alone. we're at 24,000 for the year. and if we get a calm autumn, we're to going be well in excess of 50, 60,000 by the end of the year. >> now it's a complete disaster . but look, i want to return to the war on motorists. nigel because after the welsh labour government provoked outrage by introducing a default 20mph speed limit on built up roads

recently, it's now londoners who are going to face a similar fate after the failed mayor, sadiq khan announced a further 65km that's over 40 miles of the caphaps that's over 40 miles of the capital's roads will also be hit with this 20 mile per hour limit. so nigel, what's going on here? because this is the is this going to be the reality of a labour administration ? a labour administration? >> well, quite possibly, yes. and i think wales in many ways is a test case for what labour may be like. um, although , you may be like. um, although, you know, let's not forget the tories are not much better on any of this stuff. these 20 mile any of this stuff. these 20 mile an hour speed limits are utterly ludicrous . outside of school. ludicrous. outside of school. june eight and nine in the morning and half, three and half, four in the afternoon. i get it . if you really want to get it. if you really want to slow down traffic , put in speed slow down traffic, put in speed bumps and actually selective plea, they can very effective plea, they can be very effective indeed.theideaidea plea, they can be very effective indeed. the idea idea that what i'm driving down the embankment at midnight at the dual

carriageway embankment at midnight that if i'm doing more than 22 miles an hour, i'm going to get 3.3 points at and a fine of some kind. this is ridiculous. it is almost an attempt to drive people out of cars policy being made by cyclists. remainer cyclists who live in central london or central birmingham or central bristol or central bath , bristol or central bath, completely detached . but completely detached. but something very interesting is going on. this ulez revolt. yeah. has stepped up today. i'm now seeing anpr vans. i'm now seeing ulez enforcement vans there. even even those are now being vandals. there. even even those are now being vandals . and, you know, being vandals. and, you know, i'm not going to go down the iain duncan smith route and praise those that break the law. i can't do that . i won't do that i can't do that. i won't do that . but let me tell you, you know, i live down, as, you know, little italy at the furthest

point from central london where the cameras are . these this, the cameras are. these this, this, this this revolt, the cameras are. these this, this, this this revolt , this, this, this this revolt, this, this, this this revolt, this, this this is barely started. this has barely started . this is this has barely started. this is something very, very big. it's as big as the poll tax protests and riots that we had back in 1990. we're being pushed too far. the poor are being taxed and small businesses are being hurt . we're being told to bow hurt. we're being told to bow down before the god of net zero and to hear kemi badenoch yesterday, who i thought was one of the better conserved lives, saying we have to go on being reliant on china. otherwise we can't meet our net zero targets. i mean , i mean, god help us. i mean, i mean, god help us. >> no, i think you're absolutely right. >> there's a bigger story going on of course, what's different is that the mainstream media, unlike the poll tax, they're not interested in it. but thank god for gb news, because we are . but for gb news, because we are. but look, both sides of the story. of course, london's walking and cycling commissioner will norman

has said lowering speeds is one of the most important things we can road danger and can do to reduce road danger and forms a key part of mayor's forms a key part of the mayor's vision zero goal to eliminate death serious injury from death and serious injury from london's network. london's transport network. look, look, nigel, to look, but look, nigel, i want to cross now because, of cross state side now because, of course, tonight , the course, breaking tonight, the house mccarthy , house speaker, kevin mccarthy, has announced he has has announced that he has instructed house committees to open an impeachment inquiry into president biden . he claims president joe biden. he claims that biden has lied to the american people about his knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings, accusing him presiding accusing him of presiding over a culture of corruption . so this culture of corruption. so this is obviously all in regards to biden's son and what went on there . the cover up over hunter there. the cover up over hunter biden has been going on for years and years and years . years and years and years. nigel, we saw it before the last election . where's going to election. where's this going to go though? >> kevin mccarthy is someone that i know i've met many times . i respect and he is miles away from being a hothead. he is a very, very big and small c conservative person over him, a speaker of the house, to have

used the words that he did this evening uk time shows you that he really believes there is a problem . um. biden has clearly problem. um. biden has clearly and openly lied about his connection with his son's clients . he was connection with his son's clients. he was on connection with his son's clients . he was on those calls . clients. he was on those calls. this is a clear case for impeachment . and finally, at impeachment. and finally, at last at the net is beginning to close on the bidens. you can see the special counsel that's been that's been appointed that will bfing that's been appointed that will bring charges against hunter biden within the course of the next month . and whilst the next month. and whilst the impeach movement against biden won't work because there's no way at two thirds of a senate going to vote to get rid of him, i think what we saw in saigon just 48 hours ago, where his own head of press had to interrupt in mid—sentence and closed down the press conference and played some orchestral music. >> yeah , it tells you one thing,

>> yeah, it tells you one thing, then all of those that tell you that the next presidential contest in america in november 2024 will be between donald trump and joe biden are wrong. >> biden will not be the democrat candidate. they have realised this man is a serious, serious achilles heel, and i would anticipate that by the democrat convention next summer , somebody else will have been selected. america cannot go on with this idiot running it. he has no idea where he is. he lies . no, he even said he visited the 911 site the day after the atrocity. he did not. nothing he says is true . hunter biden says is true. hunter biden clearly is a crook. joe joe biden has been , frankly, an biden has been, frankly, an accomplice to much of that. and when donald trump has said for years , it's the biden crime years, it's the biden crime family , i tell you what, he's family, i tell you what, he's going to be proved to be right

in the end. >> bold prediction from nigel farage back 7 pm. tomorrow night on gb news. night here on gb news. >> thank you so much. but >> nigel, thank you so much. but coming left, potty coming up, hard left, potty mouth angela rayner says labour mouth, angela rayner says labour will the power of unions will bolster the power of unions if they win the next general election. so is this proof starmer's socialist army will election. so is this proof starmthe socialist army will election. so is this proof starmthe economy army will election. so is this proof starmthe economy to ny will election. so is this proof starmthe economy to its will election. so is this proof starmthe economy to its knees? bring the economy to its knees? my bring the economy to its knees? my panel debate my superstar panel debate shortly. but next, irish pop star rashid murphy lands the biggest chart success of her career despite being targeted by the militant trans lobby. so is the militant trans lobby. so is the tide turning on cancel culture? one man who knows all about that, former mumford and sons marshall sons rocker winston marshall live studio

next welcome back. well rasheen murphy has stuck two fingers up to the militant trans lobby set to the militant trans lobby set to claim second spot on the uk albums chart with her sixth studio parade. the studio album hit parade. the biggest success her career biggest success of her career comes despite a torrent of abuse on social media and snide on social media and a snide review the lefty review from the lefty rag guardian former moloko

guardian after the former moloko frontwoman suggested that young kids using puberty kids shouldn't be using puberty blues rockers. so winston marshall, you were, of course , a marshall, you were, of course, a member of mumford and sons. marshall, you were, of course, a member of mumford and sons . you member of mumford and sons. you have seen the impact of cancel culture for expressing a political view in the entertainment industry . but i entertainment industry. but i wonder, given the commercial success of this album, do you think maybe the tide is starting to turn, or is that a naive hope? >> well, dan, thanks for having me back on the show. so one thing that's worth pointing out, roisin murphy, who your fine listeners and viewers will will remember from the band moloko she posted on her facebook, her private facebook . this wasn't a private facebook. this wasn't a pubuc private facebook. this wasn't a public statement. her private facebook , a statement saying facebook, a statement saying that that puberty blockers was bad for kids . that that puberty blockers was bad for kids. terf was a slur and that big pharma were running away to the bank. all absolutely true. and something that the majority of brits agree with, by the way. but it's also true whether , you know, this gender

whether, you know, this gender identity stuff, it's total nonsense. and it's she's making a factual comment. >> it's factual comment, and it's supported. >> if you read the report, if you read trans by helen joyce, if you read material girls by kathleen stock, if you read hannah barnes's book, to time think this what we're doing to kids is absolutely crazy. these puberty blockers are cross sex hormones and then it does so much damage to them when and if they go through adolescence , if they go through adolescence, if they go through adolescence, if they go through puberty, they will grow out of their gender dysphoria instead , it's serious dysphoria instead, it's serious damage. i mean , read abigail damage. i mean, read abigail shrier's irreversible damage. so anyway, but for stating this fact, she is effectively cancelled by the entertainment industry. >> though the record company winston said they weren't even going to promote the album, the guardian's five star review says this is a tainted piece of work. >> so this is a really interesting insight into the music industry, a very small industry and ninja tune. her

record label, they didn't drop her, but they said they're not going to promote her. and there's another report that said that they would give all the any money made to a trans charity , a money made to a trans charity, a venuein money made to a trans charity, a venue in london called rough trade east. her shows there were cancelled. now, it's not entirely clear whether they cancelled it or she cancelled the shows. regardless the music industry, like all creative industries, there's lots of gatekeepers . there's these gatekeepers. there's these people. they run the radio stations , they run the venues. stations, they run the venues. they they , the publishing they they, the publishing houses, record labels . and houses, the record labels. and if afoul of this if you run afoul of this progressive ideology , erg, you progressive ideology, erg, you will be they try and punish you even if it's damaging to themself. now, what's wonderful all about, and i'm so happy for roisin murphy, because firstly , roisin murphy, because firstly, she said she made an apology, but she did not retract what she said. she just apologised for offending people, which i think is heartfelt and i'm not actually against. >> but what what made me sad, though, about her apology is she felt the need say that she felt the need to say that she will never speak on this subject

again and she will never be part of the public debate again. and thatis of the public debate again. and that is so sad that that's what she into. we it she felt forced into. we saw it with recently, with amanda abbington recently, the come dancing the strictly come dancing contestant who did the same the strictly come dancing conte�*over who did the same the strictly come dancing conte�*over hery did the same the strictly come dancing conte�*over her trans:he same the strictly come dancing conte�*over her trans viewsne the strictly come dancing conte�*over her trans views .e the strictly come dancing conte�*over her trans views . now, thing over her trans views. now, you other way. you you went the other way. you know, when ended up leaving know, when you ended up leaving mumford and sons, you effectively withdrew your apology and said, i'm not going to speak out. i'm unlike leashed now to say what i really think . now to say what i really think. >> like so many people in the music industry are keeping quiet . you remember the keyboard player , craig potter from elbow? player, craig potter from elbow? yes, he is. he criticised how this was affecting autistic and gay children and he went his social media disappeared and the howard donald from take that same story last two weeks ago alice cooper was dropped from vampire cosmetics for saying that if you identify as a tree that if you identify as a tree that you might not be a tree neo , neo, american, r&b singer initially his publicists

published an apology and he said no. but finally, is the solution, though, for more of the music industry to be brave and bold like you and actually start speaking up about this? one would hope if you get to a critical mass of people speaking up to the nonsense, then things can change. but it is ludicrous in the music industry where the cynic rhiannon of the entire creative industries is self—expression , in that people self—expression, in that people are petrified to express themselves. it's insane . themselves. it's insane. >> even winston marshall, fascinating stuff . thank you so fascinating stuff. thank you so much. but coming up, ramona's flooded the proms with eu flags. but do you back calls for them to be banned from future events? richard in the studio live richard tice in the studio live but next labour's angela rayner sparks a loving with the unions by declaring she'll hand them more power. my superstar panel gets stuck into that next plus we'll have a first look at tomorrow's newspaper. front pages of press tom pages all of the press and tom bower royal bower with another royal bombshell. . bombshell. don't go anywhere. >> temperatures rising, boxt

rayner actually let the mask slip a bit today. rayner actually let the mask slip a bit today . there is still slip a bit today. there is still this hard core of militant wing of the labour party that want to let the unions run the country . let the unions run the country. >> i totally agree. i mean , >> i totally agree. i mean, angela, there was strumming the old socialist tunes, which i have to say today is wildly out of date. i mean, strengthening the trade unions. who is she going to have to strengthen what the rmt? because they can't strike aslef because they can't strike aslef because they can't strike the bma because they can't strike. they absolutely strike the bma because they can'strike e. they absolutely strike the bma because they can'strike whatey absolutely strike the bma because they can' strike what the )solutely can strike what the conservatives did was make sure there a minimum service there was a minimum service agreement. be a agreement. so should you be a patient need to see patient and need to see a doctor? you actually can and the other she was doing was other thing she was doing was giving more power to workers , giving more power to workers, and that the right to and that was the right to flexible day one flexible working from day one and right not to be and the right not to be contacted. well, i have to say , contacted. well, i have to say, post lockdown. we're trying to get workers back into work. people 400,000 fewer are working since 2019. and you've got people working from home and working from the beach. i'd say

what we need to do is make sure employers rights . employers have got more rights. >> carl robinson you feel incredibly strongly about this. >> you totally disagree with angela and you actually say strike should be made illegal. >> well, i think if you're going to go on strike, your employer should have the right to get rid of you and replace you with someone else. actually, i think i love to see the i would love to see the conservatives the conservatives finish the job that started really that thatcher started and really cripple that these cripple the power that these unions too unions have. they're too powerful. has powerful. the public sector has been standstill for been brought to a standstill for most of this year last most part of this year and last year as well with education, with with year as well with education, wititrains with year as well with education, wititrains . with year as well with education, wititrains . it's with year as well with education, wititrains . it's look with year as well with education, wititrains . it's look at with year as well with education, wititrains . it's look at the ith the trains. it's look at the wage bill power they have by the way, reason why the triple way, the reason why the triple lock cost so lock is going to cost us so dearly is because there's an 8.5% wage increase because of the ridiculous pay settlements that was that was forced on the government because of the unions and now essentially. angela rayner shudder wants to give them keys to number 11. it's them the keys to number 11. it's baffling . baffling. >> rebecca read your face

contorted in horror at that moment. >> i just heard so many things that have troubled me in the last like three minutes. >> it's hard to know where to start. i mean labour has traditionally been a party that is friend to the union, is a friend to the unions union, laboun is a friend to the unions union, labour, lovely combination. we're about that. we're all very happy about that. the the mask has the idea that the mask has supped the idea that the mask has slipped to slipped feels inaccurate to me. i this feels very i think this feels very on brand. they're doing brand. i think they're doing a very where angela brand. i think they're doing a ve doing where angela brand. i think they're doing a ve doing one where angela brand. i think they're doing a vedoing one side where angela brand. i think they're doing a vedoing one side of ere angela brand. i think they're doing a vedoing one side of ere showa is doing one side of the show and she's the other, which and she's doing the other, which is them to kind of play is enabling them to kind of play both sides the which both sides of the party, which is what needs happen. is what needs to happen. the idea your should idea that your employer should be rid of you for be able to get rid of you for striking is frankly quite frightening because at that point no power. if point you have no power. so if your employer says nobody gets a pension, anything pension, you can't do anything about or about it other than get fired or accept striking is a accept it. so striking is a really, important right. really, really important right. and i think the idea that we can be cross, that she wants to get rid zero hours rid of compulsory zero hours contracts pay contracts or close the pay gap is to me. these are is bizarre to me. these are all really there really good, nice things. there is strong gender gap. is a very strong gender pay gap. >> women do the same >> men and women who do the same job paid the same amount of job get paid the same amount of money. there are enshrined in law, money. there are enshrined in lawbut money. there are enshrined in law but there are lots of other >> but there are lots of other aspects pay gap, the

rendition of royal britannia. watch this . the lord dannatt watch this. the lord dannatt never said . never said. the bbc has been accused of aiding and abetting the eu takeover for the second year in a row, though the corporation said in a statement that flag waving was down to audience choice . but richard, you are choice. but richard, you are calling the flag insulting and unpaid triotic and calling for the eu flag to be banned. >> absolutely right . >> absolutely right. >> absolutely right. >> i was there on saturday night. it was the first time i was very excited, full of enthusiastic patriotism . um, and enthusiastic patriotism. um, and i was not exactly greeted with welcome arms by those dishing out the dreadful bungling, blue bureaucratic flag who are horrified to see me there . and horrified to see me there. and these flags were everywhere , for these flags were everywhere, for they had given them away. who funded all of this and why did

the bbc allow it? if you go back, i think you might also have a picture of a picture of the last night of the proms in 2013, 14. you can see a 2013, 14. you can see it's a blaze with glorious, wonderful union jacks. and now and here's the other thing. and this is why i think the bbc were complicit because they all move forward. all these flags to the front all of these flags to the front because they knew that the cameras would then pan in during rule britannia and things on those eu flags. this was highly organised. i think the bbc were complicit. i know they've denied it. of course they have to. but look, a political look, this is not a political event. this is a celebration of british national music . our british national music. our wonderful songs like rule britannia , land of hope and britannia, land of hope and glory, jerusalem . um, i don't glory, jerusalem. um, i don't want to see a bunch of overseas political institute flag that we're no longer a member of. it's an outrage. it's rude. people are offended . i was people are offended. i was upset, frankly, for furious with it. and i just think you've just got to call it out. this is not a political event. it was organised by the steve bray mob

. no surprise, their big campaign behind it. and look, we all believe in free speech. there's a time and a place for that, frankly, and it's not at the our national celebration of british music is that if people were waving a flag that said maga , for example, and was maga, for example, and was supporting donald trump, there's no way that the bbc would allow them to be waved in an event like absolutely right. and look, historically, if you're a french or you're italian and you're lucky enough to a ticket, lucky enough to get a ticket, yes, you know, you wave your own national flag . but you national flag. but i tell you what wouldn't would what you wouldn't do. you would not indian not go to an american indian state on july the 4th and wave the union jack at someone's house party. i suspect you may not get a great reception. it's very disrespectful. >> me , i actually >> i mean, for me, i actually view the eu flag as a flag of oppression and that's why i think it's and we just this is not a political event. >> there's a time and a place. and that was not it. richard i want to move on to this infuriating but brilliant exclusive from the daily

express, which today revealed these french cops are being paid out of the £480 million that we send to mucky macron and not even trying to stop the boats, richard. >> in fact, these cops have admitted to the daily express that very often they speak to the migrants and actually encourage them . encourage them. >> but are we surprised, dan? i mean, if you've got no incentive, performance incentive, no performance related motive in order to stop the boats and, you know , that the boats and, you know, that actually it's sort of it helps france, then why would you i mean, much nicer to go to a nightclub and have a bit of a party in the morning party at 2:00 in the morning than traipsing up down than to be traipsing up and down some beach heaven's some dunkirk beach for heaven's sake. be at all sake. so we shouldn't be at all surprised by this. there's a brilliant expose and actually deeply , embarrassing deeply humiliating, embarrassing for the prime minister but we've all this. we've all known all known this. we've all known this as an appalling waste of money. it's absolutely absurd. you on it earlier. i you touched on it earlier. i think people are coming to my way of thinking. i'm the one who's calling first up, who's been calling first up, that literally pick

that you have to literally pick up back to up and safely take back to dunkirk or kelly, which you can do more and more people, even from now saying from the left, are now saying this not stoppable until we this is not stoppable until we do . do this. >> who's obviously from the conservative party. on the superstar panel tonight , she superstar panel tonight, she said, it can't be done. >> it can. look, with all due respect to esther, it can be done. i've read all the international treaties. know international treaties. i know exactly which clauses of which treaties , the 1974. so let's treaties, the 1974. so let's a treaty, the 1982 un convention of law at sea. literally no . the of law at sea. literally no. the very sentence of the very clause , if i was in charge with a lawyer beside me who believes in the cause of secure sovereign borders , i trust you. it would borders, i trust you. it would stop within a fortnight. done dusted , sorted and the british dusted, sorted and the british people would be very grateful. >> rich, i had to ask you about lord macdonald , who was head of lord macdonald, who was head of the foreign office. >> and in this new documentary for the british bashing corporation admitted that he told everyone he was ramona. watch this in feeling in the

in the 80s for was drugs ? in the 80s for was drugs? >> it's worse. it's so sad . >> it's worse. it's so sad. >>— >> it's worse. it's so sad. >> and it's as a result of socialist democrat policies that's only fuelling a drug problem. and when you enable that kind of lifestyle and behaviour, it's no surprise that you end up with the kind of thing you saw in tenderloin . thing you saw in tenderloin. >> i mean , it's just absolutely >> i mean, it's just absolutely terrible what's happened in san francisco under a socialist government . now, i love scotland government. now, i love scotland , you know, my boyfriend is from there. it's one of my favourite places to be. but i worry about the drug problem. i see what's happening specifically in glasgow and the snp seems to have given up . they have just have given up. they have just given up and they say , come on, given up and they say, come on, addicts shoot up in this room and we're not going to prosecute you. i think it's despicable . you. i think it's despicable. >> esther yeah, i think you're right. given up . they've right. they've given up. they've realised failed and realised they've failed and they've as you said before, they've gone as you said before, they've gone as you said before, the worst drug death rate in europe . and now they're saying, europe. and now they're saying, oh, what do we do? well, we're going to give you a safe places

now take drugs. and that's now to take drugs. and that's because they they're now because they fail. they're now really worked in san fran, didn't . it is a major mistake didn't. it is a major mistake there. i know different people will say there are different way maybe to cure drugs. you can either say let's wean you off and do it. medic ized or you can say there's going cold turkey, then you die . then you die. >> if you go cold turkey, you die. >> well, look, look, that is incrediblyvery clear, any >> to be very clear, with any addiction, you support these these goals. rebecca what i'm what i support is being very clear on the information that if you have addiction issues. okay, but about these rooms? but what about these rooms? >> here is an >> what we're doing here is an admission that you've failed. >> you're saying is >> so what you're saying is let's up and go on a let's open up and go on a pathway to legalising drugs. and thatis pathway to legalising drugs. and that is what they are doing here. be under no mistake . here. be under no mistake. they've failed. they've got the worst drug deaths in europe. and so they're going on a path to legalised migration. >> consumption >> rebecca drug consumption rooms, what you think of them? >> in an ideal world, i would like nobody to try heroin, nobody be addicted heroin. nobody to be addicted to heroin. however like however we know from things like clean programs that if clean needle programs that if you going to have drug

you are going to have a drug addiction you are going to have a drug addictiyou can either pour vast place, you can either pour vast sums of money into addiction and rehab facilities, and treating addiction is incredibly expensive because the average person who goes to rehab will relapse least twice. so you relapse at least twice. so you will costs about will pour and it costs about £20,000 somebody through £20,000 to put somebody through rehab so order rehab for one month. so in order to people a chance to to give people a chance to actually succeed , then you need actually succeed, then you need to amount of money. to put any vast amount of money. the thing you can the only other thing you can do is it and is try and get ahead of it and prevent getting sort prevent people from getting sort of i've had this before methadone. >> we were now to get >> we were now going to get people off and we methadone . people off and we of methadone. no, we did because that no, we never did because that sort of became of drug in sort of became a kind of drug in itself. so i don't think it does work. i don't think. kevin what do you think a drug consumption related is sanctioned by the snp? >> i think this idea is awful. snp? >> legalised s idea is awful. snp? >> legalised s idea densful. snp? >> legalised s idea dens .|l. it's legalised draghi dens. yeah. and if there is a crime then people should punished then people should be punished for breaking that law. not encouraged it within encouraged to do it within certain rooms . absolutely. certain rooms. absolutely. >> when you put in >> but then when you put them in prison, either you have to put them on methadone, which them them on methadone, which is them still favour your >> you have in favour of your other which to other solution, which is to going the prevention of the crime off crime and getting the drugs off the street the first place.

crime and getting the drugs off the stre> who's go to them? >> who's allowed to go to them? well, many you well, it's how many are you going and you're going to have? and if you're a drug dealer, you're going to find that you've got people who can go those rooms and buy liberalisation. >> i think we see increase >> i think we see the increase in drug use and increasing. >> we should be very clear . >> we should be very clear. >> we should be very clear. >> is about giving. >> this is not about giving. it's this it's not a party. this is a medicalized this like medicalized system. this is like supervised that some supervised self harm that some mental health hospital you're condoning mental health hospital you're cowhat ng doing . you're is what you're doing. you're trying people from dying i >> -- >> now, lam >> now, look, sticking with our broken system, broken health care system, top tv was tv presenter rylan clark was left frustrated yesterday after being in telephone being held in a telephone queue for hours , only to be there for hours, only to be told there was nothing the nhs could do for

his linda, who recently his mum, linda, who recently suffered a horrific fall on houday suffered a horrific fall on holiday describing the holiday in spain, describing the nhs as being on its knees. the presenter revealed that he tried to private help for his mum to get private help for his mum before al fayed in before turning to al fayed in state health service. but state health care service. but predictably with the nhs worshipped sort cult worshipped as some sort of cult like was quickly like religion, rylan was quickly trolled for his honest assessment. but on i think this really troubled me because , as really troubled me because, as rylan clark shouldn't have been trolled for calling out the nhs and also for saying, actually, i'm to going help the nhs by going private. i think he should be celebrated that. he was be celebrated for that. he was absolutely online absolutely hammered online because it's the religion of the nhs, isn't it? >> n hs, isn't it? >> the nhs, isn't it? >> the national religion. >> it's the national religion. if support family if you can support your family without state, without relying on the state, you so. if you can you should do so. if you can afford private medical healthcare, for healthcare, you should pay for it. all of us should. i think. in the nhs probably in fact, the nhs probably should be tested at point be means tested at this point because it's safety net for because it's a safety net for people afford it so people who can't afford it so that don't through people who can't afford it so thatcracks don't through people who can't afford it so thatcracks inion't through people who can't afford it so thatcracks in our: through people who can't afford it so thatcracks in our country ough people who can't afford it so thatcracks in our country .ugh people who can't afford it so thatcracks in our country . s01 people who can't afford it so thatcracks in our country . so no the cracks in our country. so no one without the thing that one goes without the thing that was so shocking with the case of rylan a guy who rylan clark, this is a guy who openly have money

rylan clark, this is a guy who op help have money rylan clark, this is a guy who op help my have money rylan clark, this is a guy who op help my mum.have money to help my mum. >> i'm happy to go private . he's >> i'm happy to go private. he's an intelligent guy and he was absolutely desperate. this absolutely desperate. and this is what's happening to people in this country every single day because nhs is letting them down. >> i went on twitter to see what he had said and i couldn't believe what people are trolling him. he explained it clearly. i believe choice . it is there. believe in choice. it is there. he's chosen to do that. as he's chosen to do that. and as you said, him coming off the nhs list somebody to go list has allowed somebody to go on. thing we've got on. but the thing is, we've got striking doctors now, junior doctors demanding a 35% pay increase. they've put hundreds of thousands of more people on a queue and wasted a billion pounds of the government's funds . no, it's wrong. and that's why somebody like him has said, i'm going to pay for my mum and why shouldn't he? >> rebecca i think there's a big difference somebody like difference when somebody like rylan i rylan rylan does it and i love rylan and ifs rylan does it and i love rylan and it's perfectly and i think it's perfectly reasonable see reasonable and i completely see why think there's why he does it. i think there's a it's irrational to get angry with him. with someone like him. i understand people get angry understand why people get angry and do it because if and politicians do it because if it's who's it's somebody who's in a position should position who should be influencing working

influencing things to be working better and goes, not my better and just goes, ah, not my problem, same problem, i'll step out. same thing with rishi sunak's children thing with rishi sunak's childreri can really see why school. i can really see why people are angry about that because why with that because it's like, why with that specific example ? because you specific example? because you are party that's specific example? because you are a party that's specific example? because you are a systemy that's think created a system that you think is for own is not good enough for your own children. well done. great job there. >> but can you see labour extends and sort of sort of extends and sort of grew sort of privatised nation with the nhs? they they would do that. they thought they would do that. wes promoting it as wes streeting is promoting it as an way to things an alternative way to do things , but also as father. , but also as a father. >> is your >> your priority is your children. can improve children. if you can improve schools for everyone else, whilst you can afford to whilst also if you can afford to send your kids to best send your kids to the best school, send your kids to school, you send your kids to the you the best unforgiveable. you don't send your kids to the crappy to crappy state schools just to prove political prove a political point. >> should wait until >> then you should wait until your older to your children are older to become politician. if want hand, >> if people want to hand, people twice people want to pay twice for a private school, are private school, when you are a prime minister not leaving . prime minister not leaving. >> gavin robinson. esther mcvey , my superstar panel. and do stand by because coming up, which a—lister is which hollywood a—lister is under fire for going against the grain and relaunching her tv grain and relaunching her hit tv show despite the ongoing strikes in the us? find out as i crown

tonight's greatest britain in union jackass. but next in uncancelled as meghan markle touches down late for prince harry's invictus games in germany is her delayed arrival. another sign that she's distancing her own brand from that of her hapless husbands. one of britain's best journalists , tom bower, joins me journalists, tom bower, joins me live in the studio to ask if meghan still manipulating the meghan is still manipulating the media, perhaps even against her own has a big own husband. and he has a big revelation what the revelation about what the duchess is plotting next. tom bower , live. don't go anywhere, bower, live. don't go anywhere, because in just

it's time now for consult . and it's time now for consult. and this is where britain's top commentators speak out on controversial issues without the fear of the culture fear of the cancel culture sweeping rest of the media. sweeping the rest of the media. and princess of wales today and the princess of wales today broke free of usual dull royal engagements to visit high down prison where she met prison in surrey, where she met inmates who are receiving addiction support as part her

addiction support as part of her role as the patron of the charity trust . meanwhile, charity forge trust. meanwhile, meghan markle touched down in dusseldorf earlier this evening to link up with harry for the invictus games, and she appeared alongside her husband on stage, making the cuff speech, making an off the cuff speech, apologising , apologising for being, quote, late to the party. but according to a bombshell daily mail column by alison boshoff, the rare joint appearance from the sussexes plot sussexes comes as they plot a separate version of their personal brands. she reports the duchess wants to escape harry's victim narrative and, quote, lead with love. while the prince focuses on being seen as a global philanthropist. so who's winning in the royal pr battle between kate and meghan to discuss this now , i'm delighted discuss this now, i'm delighted to the to welcome back to the show distinguished tom distinguished royal author tom bower and tom, you have exclusive information on what you next is you think meghan's next move is as well. >> my view is that she is writing her memoirs and that all the rest of this. >> oh, no . >> oh, no. >>- >> oh, no. >> well, it's a huge money spinner and all this. what we've seen this last week is absolute media manipulation of the most

extraordinary kind. first of all, this dancing at the beyonce concert , which was clearly all concert, which was clearly all set up to film her, hugging harry. that was all phoney. and then harry knocking the media for not being nice to the afghan victims, which was completely untrue . harry's outrageous end untrue. harry's outrageous end to the saint george's chapel just when the cambridges were doing their service for members of the late queen. but i thought tonight this was really ridiculous . there was tonight this was really ridiculous. there was harry doing really good stuff with the invictus games, but playing on these poor victims of war to somehow promote himself in dusseldorf, which was absolutely key, i thought, pretty nauseating. and for her, meghan, to pretend that she was late because she had to give her children milkshakes was just ludicrous. i mean, this is a woman who talked tonight about the importance of family , the the importance of family, the importance of family from meghan

markle, who did her best to destroy the royal family, who ignores her own father, who talks about we've got to look after victims and leaves her father mexico with a stroke father in mexico with a stroke and doesn't visit him and talks about family values. these are two real imposters . and what is two real imposters. and what is really annoying is that we shouldn't have to in any way admire what they're doing in dusseldorf because they have really all their lies, the lies and oprah winfrey , the lies in and oprah winfrey, the lies in spare, the lies that harry said in his interview about his father and his brother . and he father and his brother. and he comes to england, makes no attempt to visit his father or brother, makes no attempt to apologise for his past behaviour. meghan carries on her lies and all the rest of it, and it really is shocking that we in any way go afford them any even though the invictus games is a great cause. >> it used to be a brilliant thing actually, because they're behaviour is so contemptible, really. we shouldn't give the

invictus games. >> well, we should give the invictus games because the participate and the idea was brilliant and it is being run very, very well. not by harry but the administrators and it but by the administrators and it is terrific for the contestants. i'm all for that. but the sussexes are using it for their own promotion . and that is own promotion. and that is what's so nauseating, because in the end, of course, alison boshoff was right. they are looking for a new they're trying to separate their brand. they're desperate. and what's interesting haven't got interesting is they haven't got a anymore. no magazine a platform anymore. no magazine is going to interview meghan markle anymore. spotify and netflix not going to netflix are not going to commission them to do more reports. so they're desperate for somehow to be seen and they're using the invictus games as their platform for promotion and what must be so difficult for them. >> tom, is that things are just working out brilliantly for the prince and princess of wales. i mean, she looked terrific today coming up. and yet talk to me about this visit. oh, this is quite bold wasn't it? about this visit. oh, this is qui' it bold wasn't it? about this visit. oh, this is qui' it was wasn't it? about this visit. oh, this is qui' it was bold, in't it? about this visit. oh, this is qui' it was bold, but t? about this visit. oh, this is qui' it was bold, but she looks >> it was bold, but she looks terrific she's terrific, kate, and she's intelligent and she is so

convincing and sincere . and convincing and sincere. and we're very, very lucky to have her. and we're very lucky that meghan isn't anymore, my meghan isn't here anymore, in my view, she really view, because she really poisoned atmosphere . so poisoned the atmosphere. so we're caught between the rock and a hard place on this, but it's not a good view from dusseldorf. >> what i like about kate is she's taking these risks, but she's taking these risks, but she's doing it in a very sensible manner , always sensible manner, always connected to import issues. >> and she shares just enough of herself. so we obviously saw her at the weekend on the rugby podcast having a bit of a laugh with her husband, but not with her husband, but it's not sharing deep, dark secrets. it's teasing him for pretending that he's at rugby. and today he's good at rugby. and today she had her her hand wrapped up and we learned that it's because she's little injury on her she's had a little injury on her trampoline so shares trampoline. so she shares just enough without being enough without without being uncouth, i guess , in the way uncouth, i guess, in the way that harry and meghan are. oh, absolutely. >> i mean, she is a star performer and a star person. and we're very and king performer and a star person. and wevery ery and king performer and a star person. and wevery lucky and king performer and a star person. and wevery lucky because kingiing is very lucky because king charles at the moment, in my view, is going through a

doldrums . i view, is going through a doldrums. i don't view, is going through a doldrums . i don't know if he can doldrums. i don't know if he can pull himself out of it. i think he's not having a great run on his first anniversary. but everything by kate and everything is saved by kate and her husband. >> that's the truth. and william's his trip william's obviously got his trip to well. to new york as well. >> it's a very important and >> and it's a very important and what's interesting he is what's interesting is he is so popular in america and harry and more popular than harry and meghan, much more popular. may long i mean, william, now long last. i mean, william, now the most at this point in time , the most at this point in time, the most at this point in time, the most at this point in time, the most respected public figure in america, bar none . and in in america, bar none. and in britain as well. probably, yeah , it's fascinating. >> pretty good. tom harwood brilliant see you. thank you brilliant to see you. thank you so . we'll talk next week, so much. we'll talk next week, but now to reveal but it is time now to reveal tonight's britain tonight's greatest britain in union jackass . my superstar union jackass. my superstar panel return , esther mcvey, panel return, esther mcvey, who's your nominee for tonight's greatest britain. >> it has to be bam and poundland . for saving 122. wilko poundland. for saving 122. wilko shops , and that is saving 3200 shops, and that is saving 3200 jobs. the staff there , the jobs. the staff there, the families, the local communities. yes yes. they've got my vote .
