things to talk about this 2 things to talk about this evening. first up, it's lift off the country's largest oil field is officially open for drilling. so is rishi sunak right to ignore the net zero backlash and put britain's prosperity first? thatis put britain's prosperity first? that is the topic of my digest. you won't want to miss it. plus, we'll get the views of my panel this evening. we've brought out the dream team. we've got christine hamilton, adam brooks and matthew lazor , plus suella and matthew lazor, plus suella braverman delivered a powerful speech about illegal immigration. but do you agree with her that multiculturalism has failed in the uk? nana akua chris rose and joanna jarjue debate that in what will be a fiery clash and after the thatcher donor and tory peer lord harris says the conservatives don't deserve to win the next election, lee anderson joins me live in the studio to give his unmissable reaction on. meanwhile, the princess of wales sparkles as she steps out with children at a

special needs play centre. so are the royal family realising that putting her front and centre is a pr winner ? top royal centre is a pr winner? top royal author angela levin will be here with expert analysis . s. we'll with expert analysis. s. we'll bnng with expert analysis. s. we'll bring you a first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages and i'll be asking jim davidson if broomsticks will fly before j.k. rowling gets cancelled for her trans views as two hours of big opinion, big debate and big entertainment. this is mark dolan. tonight. you're watching gb news, britain's news channel i didn't expect to be sat here tonight. i was going to wash my hair and watch coronation street's . but unless you've been street's. but unless you've been living under a rock or don't have internet access , you'll be have internet access, you'll be aware that gb news presenter laurence fox appeared on the channel last night and made some offensive comments about the journalist ava evans free speech is everything wrong? but it

comes with response , ability. comes with response, ability. anything you say or write or broadcast will rightly be exposed to the court of public opinion . i know i've been there opinion. i know i've been there and i'll be there again. opinion. i know i've been there and i'll be there again . whether and i'll be there again. whether lawrence should stay on air is not my decision, and dan's absence tonight is also beyond my control . there is an my control. there is an investigation ongoing , but the investigation ongoing, but the comments made by lawrence, in my view , were sexist, misogynistic view, were sexist, misogynistic and unusually in the frenzied climate of the so—called culture wars have been condemned across the political spectrum. from left and right and even the liberal democrats, wherever they are, gb news has directly apologised to the journalist concerned . now, from my distant concerned. now, from my distant background in stand up comedy, i learnt a lesson a long time ago , which is that you can joke about anything you like, but when you cross the line the audience will have you. their

judgement will be felt. it's very regrettable all that that has happened on gb news where myself and my colleagues rightly condemn personal ad hominem attacks on other people where possible. we seek to play the ball, not the man , or in this ball, not the man, or in this case, the woman . we don't always case, the woman. we don't always achieve that unfortunate . this achieve that unfortunate. this awful episode plays into the hands of our critics. the people who would love to see the back of gb news that mustn't happen. this is still a relatively new channel, and yet we're garnering a fast growing and incredibly loyal audience and we are rewriting the rule book on how current affairs broadcasting is done. and whilst we're here, for the many people in this country who feel they do not have a voice , the truth is we're here voice, the truth is we're here for everyone. people are coming to us in their numbers across all political colours because they want a different angle , a

they want a different angle, a different approach and they want debate. they want a diversity of opinion and they want it done with wit and wisdom. fiery and good humoured but respect full and fair to that. good humoured but respect full and fair to that . that is the gb and fair to that. that is the gb news way why we didn't have that last night. in the end , a hard last night. in the end, a hard lesson has been learnt . we have lesson has been learnt. we have freedom of speech but not freedom of speech but not freedom from the fallout . a lot freedom from the fallout. a lot to get through tonight, including my daily digest. rishi sunak says no zero to net zero opening the biggest untapped oil field in the north sea . my field in the north sea. my reaction in two minutes. you won't want to miss it. first, the news with polly middlehurst . mark thank you and good evening to you. >> well, tributes are pouring in tonight for a much loved 15 year old girl with a bright future

after she was stabbed to death on her way to school this morning . the emergency services morning. the emergency services were called to croydon in south london at about 830. and eyewitness described seeing a bus driver and a passer by trying to resuscitate her. chief superintendent andy brittain said a 17 year old boy has been arrested who was known to the victim . victim. >> this is every parent's worst nightmare and i know the officers who responded this morning, along with our emergency service colleagues , emergency service colleagues, are devastated at the victim's death. this is an emotion i share and i know people across croydon will be feeling the same. the victim's family has been informed and our thoughts are with them at what must be an incredibly difficult time . incredibly difficult time. >> andy bretton . now, as you've >> andy bretton. now, as you've been hearing , this company, gb been hearing, this company, gb news, has suspended its presenter, dan wootton . it's presenter, dan wootton. it's after offensive comments were made by laurence fox during an interview on this channel last night . he interview on this channel last night. he made a series of derogatory remarks about political journalist ava evans.

presenter laurence fox has also been suspended with immediate effect and taken off air. in a statement, gb news called the comments totally unacceptable , comments totally unacceptable, adding they did not reflect the company's values. gb news has issued a formal apology to ms evans and launched a full investigation . on the uk's investigation. on the uk's largest untapped oil and gas field, rosebank in scotland has been approved for development. that's despite a row over climate concerns regular voters say net zero considerations have been taken into account . but been taken into account. but scotland's first minister, humza yousaf, says he's disappointed that the project's been given the go ahead. the uk government, however, has welcomed the decision, saying it'll generate billions for the economy . the billions for the economy. the united nations has rejected the home secretary's calls for international law on refugees to be changed. in a speech in washington in the united states yesterday , suella braverman yesterday, suella braverman suggested the un 1951 refugee

convention needed updating. she argued that fearing discrimination for being gay or a woman shouldn't be enough to qualify for international refugee protection . the uk's refugee protection. the uk's first drug consumption room , first drug consumption room, where users can take illegal drugs under medical supervision, has been approved. the facility planned for glasgow's east end is backed by the scottish government as a way to tackle the country's debilitating drugs deaths crisis . the £2.3 million deaths crisis. the £2.3 million pilot will allow users to take their own illegal drugs in a hygienic environment, their own illegal drugs in a hygienic environment , with hygienic environment, with medical staff on standby for support . and if the weather's support. and if the weather's howling outside your window, you won't be surprised to learn yellow weather warnings are in place for most of the uk, as forecasters have warned. worse conditions are on the way . storm conditions are on the way. storm agnes is set to make landfall in the uk after already battering the uk after already battering the south of ireland with gale force winds causing damage to

buildings, trees coming down as well and power outages as well as significant travel disruption . the met office has warned storm agnes may also lead to an increase at risk of flooding in vulnerable or low lying areas. and strong and disruptive winds are expected to last until tomorrow morning with the storm at its worst. we're told in about an hour's time on tv onune about an hour's time on tv online dab+ radio and the tunein app. this is gb news, britain's news channel . news channel. >> god, it's almost like rishi sunak wants to get re—elected. britain's largest untapped oil field in the north sea has been approved by the government. the rosebank oil and gas project was granted consent by the north sea transition authority on monday with the potential of up to 500 million barrels of oil . however, million barrels of oil. however, environmental activists, including green party mp

caroline lucas, said the decision amounted to a climate crime and that it was morally obscene . mean no . what is obscene. mean no. what is morally obscene is the example of germany who have spent years ploughing billions of euros into flaky renewables which has left them reliant on tyrants like vladimir putin to keep the lights on. ms guided green policies in germany have led to the effective bankrolling of the kremlins war machine. well done, everyone. meanwhile, over in the united states, why is american inflation so low ? why is their inflation so low? why is their economy going? gang busters? because they are energy independent with vast reservoir of shale gas approved by barack obama of all people. who'd have thunk it? in this unstable world, it's pure madness to rely on despotic states like saudi arabia and russia for our energy suppues arabia and russia for our energy supplies and whilst i back further investment in renewables, it's time, to be honest with the public, that

green energy is extraordinarily expensive and is ultimately a massive experiment. it's a punt . don't take my word for it. when invited to invest in new wind farm licences earlier this month , no bids were made by the month, no bids were made by the private sector. zero. no bids . private sector. zero. no bids. that's net zero for you. plus how honest are proponents of green energy being with you when they fail to factor in the massive environmental impact of constructing these windmills? these solar panels and the thousands of miles of cable needed to transport their intermittent energy where do you store that energy and what's the shelf life of a windmill? 15 years, if you're lucky. what happens when it's not windy or sunny ? it's like people who sunny? it's like people who drive around in electric cars thinking they've saved the planet. what about the energy to make those cars and the finite, precious resources in those batteries mined in slavery conditions which are knackered after a few years? and how are

those batteries recharged? you guessed it, via fossil fuels . in guessed it, via fossil fuels. in the end, i think there's a middle way. and what i'm calling smart net zero or smart zero, in which we pursue energy policies based upon evidence based, science based upon what we can afford, based upon the needs of our economy and based upon the support of the public. the cervix free leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer , opposition, sir keir starmer, wants to bet the house on unproven green renewables and tear up oil and gas licences before we're ready. whilst sunak is offering a more balanced approach , which in the end we approach, which in the end we probably need a mix of renewables, nuclear oil and gas. energy secured city is national security key, which is why for now rishi is right to drill, baby, drill . reacting to my big baby, drill. reacting to my big opinion, let's speak to author and broadcaster christine hamilton , businessman and hamilton, businessman and activist adam brooks, and former

labour party adviser matthew matthew. what do you think about this? well i don't think that labour will be ripping up any oil and gas licences. >> quite the contrary. they've been very clear. keir starmer made it absolutely that made it absolutely clear that although new licences be although no new licences will be offered under a labour government, won't any government, there won't be any ripping up existing ones. why ripping up of existing ones. why close that door that's gone to today? because the north is today? because the north sea is coming the end of its life. coming to the end of its life. this is probably the last big one. minute, we've just one. wait a minute, we've just got field, probably 500 got this oil field, probably 500 million which is ready million barrels, which is ready to which is about 5% of what to go, which is about 5% of what the country of what the country needs. the needs. so, yeah, yes, the north sea important. an sea is important. and it's an important part the energy important part of the energy mix. you're absolutely right, mark. need a mixture mark. we need a mixture of energy why energy sources, and that's why it's tragedy. we haven't built it's a tragedy. we haven't built any stations. any new nuclear power stations. >> in the last 13 >> why is it in the last 13 years, why is your mate keir starmer closing the door on other and gas licences? why other oil and gas licences? why set that precedent? >> because need to draw >> because we need to draw a line in the sand and make sure that focussed that investment is focussed on renewables. gas will renewables. but oil and gas will still be part of the mix for

years to come. do you trust these to deliver when these renewables to deliver when they spectacularly these renewables to deliver when they for spectacularly these renewables to deliver when they for germany?:ularly these renewables to deliver when they for germany? well,r failed for germany? well, germany a stupid thing germany did a stupid thing because it closed nuclear because it closed its nuclear power stations that biggest power stations so that biggest renewables no. power stations so that biggest re means es no. power stations so that biggest re means that no. power stations so that biggest re means that the no. power stations so that biggest re means that the renewables no. it means that the renewables need of a mix that need to be part of a mix that includes nuclear. i'm very pro nuclear power labour's nuclear power stations. labour's very pro nuclear power stations. the unions pro the trade unions are very pro nuclear germany the nuclear power. germany is the tories haven't any. tories haven't built any. germany test case. the lib germany is a test case. the lib dems well, let put this to dems well, let me put this to you, adam. >> is a test case for >> germany is a test case for renewables. i see renewables as part apparently by part of the mix. apparently by the is very good on the way, the uk is very good on green tech. it make jobs and green tech. it can make jobs and i it's the future, but you i guess it's the future, but you don't the house on these don't bet the house on these flaky energy sources. >> would i sell my house if i didn't have anywhere live? didn't have anywhere to live? once gone through? no, once that's gone through? no, i wouldn't. this net zero net wouldn't. this net zero or net zero, it, is, zero, as dan would call it, is, is based on dodgy modelling, is based on scientists that are heavily get these heavily funded to get these answers. know, less answers. you know, we are less than 1% of the world's polluters . nothing that britain does changes the climate. even the darling of the left, tony blair, admits that the other week now at the end of the day, what i'm

no rishi fan either, but what he's done here is fantastic because it secures our future a little bit more and it's four times greener to domestically produce gas than it is to import it. so these eco nuts and the green party that are saying this is terrible, we're actually going to be less polluting by domestically producing ourselves. >> however, where is your evidence that the modelling is dodgy, like you say? well, we see during covid the modelling was all over the place. that's covid. but what about science? >> that was science. what about the climate? >> the climate scientists, majority argue a majority of whom argue there's a direct link between fossil fuel consumption and rising temperatures? i don't believe there anything that we as there is anything that we as humans doing that is making humans are doing that is making the climate change at the end of the climate change at the end of the day, you know, if you look back at graphs are doing back at the graphs are doing this oscillating the earth this and oscillating the earth changes , the sun changes. changes, the sun changes. >> you know, christine changes. >> you know, christine changes. >> matthew, you're shaking your head before i come to you. she

gets the last word because she is the last word. you're shaking your head. >> climate climate >> i think climate climate change is real. climate change is happening. i think those is happening. i think that those environmental campaigners need to that the scare to be careful that the scare stories don't make know, stories don't make you know, don't but we need to don't cry, wolf. but we need to we change our energy we need to change our energy mix, we need sensible mix, mix, but we need a sensible mix, including gas, but including oil and gas, but including oil and gas, but including and nuclear. >> well, i personally think, christine, has christine, that keir starmer has had a mayor when it comes to this, because he initially outlined wouldn't outlined that he wouldn't be granting oil gas granting any oil and gas licences. he said, oh, licences. and then he said, oh, except ones rishi except for the ones that rishi sunaks negotiated. well, sunaks just negotiated. well, i think two big two big think there's two big two big words here. think there's two big two big woroneere. think there's two big two big worone ise. think there's two big two big worone is security. we need our >> one is security. we need our own independent energy. we need a mix. of course we a mix. a mix. of course we need a mix. we've got this massive deposit in sea. is. they're in the north sea. it is. they're asking be taken out. we would in the north sea. it is. they're asiabsolutelyaken out. we would in the north sea. it is. they're asiabsolutelyaken nit's we would in the north sea. it is. they're asiabsolutelyaken nit's not. would be absolutely mad. it's not. what she call it? climate what did she call it? climate crime. and morally obscene. caroline lucas, absurd. caroline lucas, that is absurd. we and also it is the we need it. and also it is the hypocnsy we need it. and also it is the hypocrisy of people who are against this. they are perfect, happy all the stuff that happy to make all the stuff that we import. china is making all these emissions, making the stuff that we then import. if we

make you know, they're saying that we shouldn't be putting out all these emissions all we're doing is exporting that that moral value abroad and other people are putting out these climate emissions on our behalf. it is utter hypocrisy. america has shown the way we should be fracking. we should be opening up all the getting all the coal out that is there. it is brilliant, absolutely brilliant . this is the . we haven't had this is the first brent's been first one. is it? brent's been going since 1975, producing massive energy for this country. >> briefly . this massive energy for this country. >> briefly. this is brilliant. >> briefly. this is brilliant. >> this this deal is going to create billions for hmrc and jobs and jobs. i think it's 1700 jobs and jobs. i think it's1700 jobs. this is good for britain, matthew. >> absolutely . this u—turn on >> absolutely. this u—turn on net zero puts labour under pressure. yes or no ? pressure. yes or no? >> no, because have you been drinking? sadly nothing. gb news tea is . it's a cola based tea is. it's a cola based beverage. but nothing, nothing more exciting in it than that. but no , look, it is difficult but no, look, it is difficult for keir because there's a lot of pressure from the unions because they're good paying jobs

because they're good paying jobs in the north sea to because they're good paying jobs in the north sea to allow new licences . i think he's got the licences. i think he's got the balance right, is to balance right, which is to not rip existing licences. no rip up any existing licences. no more but make sure more uncertainty, but make sure that we have energy mix that that we have an energy mix that we future. we need for the future. >> well, look, this show >> okay. well, look, this show is opinions. what is is all about opinions. what is yours? drop me a line, mark at gb dot com. they come gb news dot com. they come straight laptop , so drop straight to my laptop, so drop me a line now. mark at me a line right now. mark at gbnews.com up. that was gbnews.com coming up. that was a little heavy handed coming up what leigh make of what does leigh anderson make of thatcher donor lord harris claiming tories don't claiming the tories don't deserve to win next deserve to win the next election? the tory party deputy chairman live in the studio shortly sparks will fly. you won't want to miss it. but first in the clash, it's suella braverman right that multiculturalism has failed in britain across europe. britain and across europe. joanne rose joanne josh howie, chris rose and nana akua do battle on that next, but do drop me a line. mark cbnnews.com i'll see you shortly .

weekdays from 330 on . gb news weekdays from 330 on. gb news the real world with lee anderson coming up soon. >> but first, it's time for this . yes, it's time for the clash at home. secretary suella braverman was in washington yesterday giving a speech on migration in and reading the united nations . the riot act united nations. the riot act over their definition of a refugee, which she argued should be narrower and not granted to those fleeing their home country because they were gay or a woman . meanwhile, back in the uk, her comments about multiculturalism and its impact on europe have

hit the headlines. here's what the secretary had to say . the home secretary had to say. >> multiculturalism makes no demands of the incomer to integrate . it has failed because integrate. it has failed because as it allowed people to come to our society and live parallel lives in it, they could be in the society, but not of the society . and in extreme cases society. and in extreme cases they could pursue lives aimed at undermining the stability and threatening the security of our society . society. >> but as quick as night turns to day, bravermans remarks were blasted by the usual suspects with labour's shadow home secretary, yvette cooper , secretary, yvette cooper, accusing her of deeply divisive , damaging political game playing. but what do you think? is braverman right that multiculturalism has failed? let me know your thoughts. mark gbnews.com and i'll bring you the votes of our poll on that very shortly. but to debate this now, i'm joined by the social

commentators joanna jarjue and chris rose and gb news star nana akua. joanna, let me start with you . do you think that you. do you think that multiculturalism has failed in this country ? this country? >> absolutely not. i think that, you know, when we have this conversation and this type of context , people usually talk context, people usually talk about how inclusive britain is and how open we are to other cultures. and then you've got somebody like the home secretary talking about multicultural talking about how multicultural ism has when really the ism has failed when really the history of this country, most of it has been built off the back of really successful multiculturalism dating back from even when you look at things like the windrush generation and it's still being built off the back of multiculturalism when you look at net migration figures and when you look at the fact that we need people from other cultures and from other countries to come and fill the skills gap that we've got in this country, when you've got things 100, 100,000 things like 100, 100,000 vacancies in the nhs , 165,000

vacancies in the nhs, 165,000 vacancies in the nhs, 165,000 vacancies in the nhs, 165,000 vacancies in social care, you need people to come . and need people to come. and actually, if we're saying that, you know, we're a completely open and accepting country, then we should be able to accept other people's cultures . other people's cultures. >> we should be able to. but. chris rose it doesn't always happen. chris rose it doesn't always happen . unfortunately. there are happen. unfortunately. there are ethnic tensions within our great country . country. >> absolutely. and i think over the last 24 hours i've repeated, seen as people mix up multi racialism and multiculturalism , racialism and multiculturalism, multiculturalism , you need multiculturalism, you need a cohesive society where cultures come together and unite. but that isn't always the case. i mean, we've seen it in leicester, we've seen it in blackburn. we see it in dewsbury, we're seeing it in yorkshire as well. and we've seen in peckham as well seen it in peckham as well recently cultures get recently. and when cultures get to the point of a melting pot and they combust , it can turn and they combust, it can turn very toxic. as we've seen . you very toxic. as we've seen. you know, in peckham we had the racism towards the asian shopkeeper recently as well . and shopkeeper recently as well. and it's just not good. i mean , an

it's just not good. i mean, an individual minority individual ethnic minority having a successful career doesn't really change the fact that we do have melting pots in certain communities . and that's certain communities. and that's why i think suella is absolutely right. i mean , she's not the right. i mean, she's not the first politician to say we had liberal david cameron said it in 2011 and we had angela merkel who said it in 2010. it's a very reasonable point to come to that conclusion. and i fully agree with her. >> nana akua we've had lots of commentators pointing out ad nauseum that suella braverman herself , the nauseum that suella braverman herself, the home nauseum that suella braverman herself , the home secretary, is herself, the home secretary, is an example of multiculturalism working. is that a red herring ? working. is that a red herring? >> well, to be honest, that's the it's the exact opposite , the it's the exact opposite, actually. suella braverman i think what it is, is people keep confusing this definition of multiculturalism with having a multiculturalism with having a multi having just a multicultural sort of style within the country . so within the country. so

multiculturalism is about separate groups coming in and keeping their individual separate identities within a whole picture. so you would have say, a muslim area potentially . say, a muslim area potentially. you would have say a hindu area , a potential sikh area, you'd have a black area that could be african. then a caribbean area. but those areas don't necessarily mix. they're just lots of cultural areas . so what lots of cultural areas. so what it does create a little individual ghettos. so what happens when somebody from, say, the caribbean comes, they'll go to the caribbean section and just stick with the caribbeans. so suella braverman is the exact opposite of that. her parents, like parents, i imagine, came like my parents, i imagine, came to country and assimilated to this country and assimilated to this country and assimilated to so we didn't to the environment. so we didn't i my parents didn't bring i didn't my parents didn't bring a little bit of ghana only a little bit of ghana and only go ghanaians were . go where the ghanaians were. they just did as the they literally just did as the british did when in rome do as the romans. and that that that is the opposite of multiculturalism . multiculturalism. multiculturalism is about having those pockets of ghettos those little pockets of ghettos of people within their own cultural bounds , frizz in their cultural bounds, frizz in their own structure and that's why

she's saying it's failing. so it's a massive red herring and it's a massive red herring and it shows a huge lack of understanding of what multiculturalism actually means. and out the and joanna, you pointed out the windrush when people came in the windrush, years they windrush, many years ago, they literally assimilated to the british way of living . and as british way of living. and as for needing people from other , for needing people from other, you know, races and other you know, other races and other parts of the world, that's not the point. it the point is multiculturalism is almost like an isolationism , and that's not an isolationism, and that's not good. and it has failed. >> joanna briefly , if you can, >> joanna briefly, if you can, dr. rakib hasan , who is a social dr. rakib hasan, who is a social commentator , has said what we're commentator, has said what we're seeing is the conflation between being a multiracial democracy and multiculturalism as an ideological belief, a philosophical concept, and indeed a political idea . joanna indeed a political idea. joanna are you not gaslighting my viewers and listeners who feel impacted by the fact that there are racial tensions among ethnic groups in some of our cities and their lives are being affected by it ? by it? >> well, i think that the

solution to some of these issues would be to tackle on some of theissues would be to tackle on some of the issues that we've got as a country dead on. and going back to what nana said, you know, about the windrush generation, we've just had notting hill carnival. is a perfect carnival. that is a perfect example . all of great example. all of great multiculturalism. when you look at what that carnival contributed the british contributed to the british economy, when you look what economy, when you look at what different actually let me different actually sorry, let me finish. look at what finish. when you look at what different also different cultures have also contributed when it comes to food, when it comes to culture, thatis food, when it comes to culture, that is what's positive about multiculturalism comes multiculturalism when it comes to the tensions, that's a completely different subject m atter. completely different subject matter. but i think the difference is with this when it comes to what suella braverman said, is the context in which she it, there's she said it, there's a difference between talking about whether know, are whether people, you know, are learning english a learning english enough, a sufficient to having sufficient standard to having this conversation about security and things like that. i think it's creating a narrative of fear of the other. and i think that it's just stoking tensions for absolutely no reason. okay the clock is against us. >> last word, nana. and chris,

n ext next thing . it's briefly a big thing. it's briefly a big reaction on e mails for all of the topics tonight. high mark says mike, too much multiculturalism causes problems and tensions within any society . it's a recipe for disaster on net zero, bill says mark net zero sounds like y2k all over again. and for your attention, says sonya , when it comes to says sonya, when it comes to green energy, wind and solar do not work without baseload power. keep those emails coming. mark at gbnews.com. my panel have rejoined me. author and broadcaster christine hamilton, businessman and activist adam brooks and former labour party adviser matthew lazar, now in what could mark the first sinister assault in labour's war on wealth, the party has signalled they will whack 20% vat on all private school fees immediately if they gain power , immediately if they gain power, but have tonight. here's a surprise u—turned on their pledge to remove private schools charitable status whilst labour party chainnoman anneliese dodds

claims the extra cash is desperately needed to improve state schools, which are attended by more than 90% of british kids. chris six say it will force smaller private schools to close entirely and could cripple the already stretched state system that would force, that would be forced to absorb countless extra pupils. christine another u—turn from keir starmer well, hardly a surprise , is it? can you explain surprise, is it? can you explain this? because the vat is going to go on the fees but not charitable status is going to be maintained. what does that mean ? >> keir starmer doesn't really know what he stands for. here are my principles, but i've got others. if you don't like them, thatis others. if you don't like them, that is he comes from. he that is where he comes from. he is now feeling the heat on him because can see become prime because he can see become prime minister fairly near minister is in the fairly near distance he thinks right, distance and he thinks right, i've to i've got to come up i've got to i've got to come up with some policies. well, i mean, honest. it is. mean, let's be honest. it is. i've to come up with some i've got to come up with some policies. but they're not fully thought and he thought through. and he will he will backtrack sorts of will backtrack on all sorts of things he wants to. this

things as he wants to. but this is sheer envy. i mean, is sheer class envy. i mean, people think that people seem to think that everybody private everybody who goes to private school, they of eton and school, they think of eton and harrow all the parents harrow and all those the parents are loaded. >> they're not loaded. >> they're not all loaded. >> they're not all loaded. >> parents loaded. they're >> parents are loaded. they're not. are an enormous not. and there are an enormous number of smaller private schools are basically schools who are basically small businesses and they're jams. they managing. they are just about managing. they are just about managing. they vast profits, they don't make vast profits, and people really and they give people a really good, education. good, rounded education. and those up those parents who give up a monumental amount. i went to a private school until i was 12 and i was expelled . and then and i was expelled. and then you've always been naughty, have always been naughty . always been naughty. >> and she never she never says what it was. what was it. >> and i still have. oh i haven't got time to explain. later but i was expelled and my parents had taken the precaution of making me take the 11 plus so i could then go to the local grammar school, which was fabulous co—ed boys and everything just wonderful. fabulous co—ed boys and evermy ng just wonderful. fabulous co—ed boys and evermy parentsjust wonderful. fabulous co—ed boys and evermy parents gave/onderful. fabulous co—ed boys and evermy parents gave/onlanful. but my parents gave up an enormous amount. they not enormous amount. they were not mega they gave up an mega wealthy. they gave up an enormous amount of other things. they doing that they could be doing that money to brother. and to me it to send my brother. and to me it would have been manna from heaven when i was expelled, probably dam

probably because arade dam save all people, but all that. i'll have people, but people just to finish when then people just to finish when then people are paying twice. they're paying people are paying twice. they're pay taxes and then they're just the taxes and then they're just like private they're like private health. they're paying like private health. they're paying twice. and what's wrong with can choose to with that? people can choose to better children that's better their children if that's what to do with their money. >> adam, you can afford 15, >> adam, if you can afford 15, 20, 25, £30,000 a year, you can afford a bit of vat. >> no, look , again, i'm going to >> no, look, again, i'm going to echo what christina said here. it isn't just the super wealthy or even the wealthy that have kids in private schools , as kids in private schools, as i have three children in private schools , i've made that choice schools, i've made that choice for many reasons. now, every time the invoices come in, you know , it is a big chunk of my know, it is a big chunk of my earnings. it's my biggest outlay now. i've had times where i've had to put the school fees on a credit card during covid. i had to borrow money off a family members, but i wanted to keep that for education my children for multiple different reasons. now what scares me here is that if they added another 20% to the

fees, as i probably couldn't afford to have all three kids in private school, so i probably put them back into the state system, that means that they have to be funded by the state, you know, and where are the places coming from and where are those places coming from? so it's terrible , terrible idea it's a terrible, terrible idea that starmer is doing here. that keir starmer is doing here. and i do truly believe that there will be tens of thousands of kids suddenly trying to of kids then suddenly trying to find places in the state schools and it will cost the economy money. >> matthew it is an act of cultural barbarism to tax any academic institution, private schools teach british kids and they go to on do great things in this country, as do kids from the 93% of kids who've gone to state schools. >> it's not an act of barbarism. it's an act of fairness. when the parents of kids in state schools go and buy the kids the laptop that they need, they're paying laptop that they need, they're paying vat. so why shouldn't people sending people who are sending their kids to private schools? that's a strange strange, a strange that's a strange, matthew, news the

europe a critical europe was now at a critical juncture and failure to find a way to the challenge of way to meet the challenge of illegal migration would create the conditions for more extreme politics. >> multiculturalism makes no demands of the incomer to integrate , and it has failed integrate, and it has failed because it allowed people to come to our society and live parallel lives in it . they could parallel lives in it. they could be in the society we, but not of the society and in extreme cases they could pursue lives aimed at undermining the stability and threatening the security of our society . society. >> so, matthew , do you think >> so, matthew, do you think that europe has been asleep at the wheel in regards to mass immigration? because it's not just a uk problem, is it? >> no, absolutely. it's not just >> no, absolutely. it's notjust a uk problem. but i don't think europe asleep the europe has been asleep at the wheel i think it's got wheel at all. i think it's got some things wrong, i think some things wrong, but i think that it's fully aware. look, i mean, one of my previous jobs

was bringing together political leaders from across europe, from progressive parties , and i can progressive parties, and i can tell you that, you know , tell you that, you know, immigration is as big a political issue in pretty much every other european country as it is here in britain. hence the rise of the right in germany , rise of the right in germany, italy and beyond. yeah, i mean, it certainly mean, has it has certainly i mean, it has certainly been an impact, but even it's even impacted the even it's even impacted on the right germany. angela right in germany. when angela merkel's decision, angela merkel's decision, angela merkel's in merkel's decision to allow in over a million people from syria at the time of the syrian crisis in had impact. so, in 2015, had a big impact. so, look, has made look, i think europe has made some we need some mistakes, but we need to cooperate with europe because people mean people who. what does that mean ? well, it means we need to sort one key policies one of labour's key policies is to cross border police to have this cross border police unit, sort it out and unit, let the eu sort it out and we just accept the not too deal and sort it out. and let the eu sort it out. a hundred thousand year. and hundred thousand a year. no. and that was i mean, it's so complicated the complicated and got the messaging . that's messaging wrong. that's a surprise. most of the time surprise. no most of the time he's on, he's but on this he's on, he's on it. but on this they their lines confused they got their lines confused and people got the wrong impression. example, impression. but for example, just the eu has just this very week, the eu has done a deal with tunisia, which

is of the countries from is one of the countries from which themselves which people launch themselves into and eventually then into europe and eventually then launch across the launch themselves across the channel to provide extra support in tunisia. i mean, we've just seen earthquake seen a horrific earthquake in morocco , so we've seen the morocco, so we've seen the terrible events in libya. these are these are going to create flows. these are in many ways desperate people. clearly, not everybody from north africa can end so therefore, end up in europe. so therefore, we sensible approach, we need a sensible approach, including support in including giving more support in country. well, that's issue, christine. >> even ultra woke emmanuel macron said this week in a television interview in regard to france , we cannot accept the to france, we cannot accept the misery of the world. there are probably billions of people who could have a better life in the west. it's not going to work . west. it's not going to work. >> of course there are. and there always have been billions of people. now they know of people. but now they know about on the about what's going on in the west social and west. thanks to social media and the internet . et cetera. the the internet. et cetera. the whole world has become and crooked smugglers crooked people smugglers has become what become much smaller. what concerns me, obviously the numbers i mean, by the way, bravo suella. i mean, i thought what you was brilliant what you did was brilliant and her york. good for

her speech in new york. good for her. what do you say to her. what what do you say to those who think that it was dog whistle politics? well, it's about time. it's a dog whistle. politics. she was standing up for she believes in and for what she believes in and what of other what a whole load of other people that enough is enough. >> but it is standing up for the majority. m ajority. >> majority. >> just if she >> yeah, it is just if she wanted serious it was wanted serious reform, it was the nations general assem bly. over the week. we assembly. over the week. we sent >> over the last week. we sent oliver dowden, who talked about artificial s she artificial intelligence. s she went as far as went to the enemy camp as far as the administration the us administration is concerned, think the us administration is conctdelivered think the us administration is conctdelivered the think the us administration is conctdelivered the speech..hink the us administration is conctdelivered the speech. it1k tank delivered the speech. it was dog for was all about dog whistle for her chances of being tory leader. wanted to some leader. she wanted to show some leg the tory party about it. leg to the tory party about it. well, leg. leg to the tory party about it. weithat leg. leg to the tory party about it. weithat sounds leg. leg to the tory party about it. weithat sounds a leg. leg to the tory party about it. weithat sounds a bit leg. leg to the tory party about it. weithat sounds a bit sexist. >> that sounds a bit sexist. that's very sexy. >> that sounds a bit sexist. thayou'ver sexy. >> that sounds a bit sexist. thayou've gotly. >> that sounds a bit sexist. thayou've got to that she wants. >> so can i just say leg as well? never never happen on this channel where skirts adam don't be was so binary, be whether it was so binary, whether it was dog whistle politics or not. >> wanted to out her >> she wanted to set out her stall did it . >> she wanted to set out her stall did it. what stall and she did it. what worries as the sheer worries me as much as the sheer numbers, which we all know, the problems numbers, problems of the numbers, but it's cultural appropriation, it's the cultural appropriation, the creeping cultural appropriation. i mean, for example, in 1961, we had 1% of

this population were muslim , this population were muslim, 50,000 people by 2021, it's 6.5. it is going up. why is that a bad thing? they are not because they are not necessarily assimilating suella many muslims do, though many do. but suella braverman is a wonderful example of somebody who has completely adopted the cultural norms of this country. an awful lot don't. and they live in you know, crowded areas . tower know, crowded areas. tower hamlets has 40% muslim population and they are not interested , a lot of them, in interested, a lot of them, in our culture. and our way of life. but what about what about the british pub, which adam represents will soon be overrun? and we have people, some of them are now wanting sharia law. they're wanting to have sharia law in their own community. >> i had a good pint in tower hamlets just a few days ago pnor hamlets just a few days ago prior to spitalfields , one of prior to spitalfields, one of the old boozers of london the great old boozers of london in i mean, look , in tower hamlets. i mean, look, we be my pub is full of we need to be my pub is full of people of all faiths and absolutely i would encourage

that. >> and i'm pleased that my pub is so welcoming to so many. i'm not unwelcome if i get your assimilate that we suddenly have we have areas within our country where, you know, they don't want to mix and that is a great point. >> and that can be that that can be many different ethnic groups . yes. we're now seeing and we've heard this from rakib hassan , who's a social hassan, who's a social commentator who has said that you've got ethnic groups who are actually attacking each other . actually attacking each other. and it's not about necessarily the indigenous, the indigenous. >> so the issue in peckham recently, which is right, so, so therefore is actually not therefore it is actually not even relevant to perhaps indigenous white people living indigenous white people living in but actually it's among >> but actually it's among different . it's of an different groups. it's of an ethnic nature. the main thing though is that , you know, if though is that, you know, if i speak about illegal immigration onune speak about illegal immigration online or on here immediately, i will get tweets or messages saying that i'm racist. >> now , you know, to want to >> now, you know, to want to have control borders in this country is a very conserved

nafive country is a very conserved native way of thinking. and we haven't had that for a long time. well in the good old days, we all believed in borders left and right. >> and labour does labour's is where the vote this is where the left gone mad that they left have gone mad is that they believe open borders . believe in an open borders. >> well i personally think that suella speech was one of the best i've heard in best speeches that i've heard in a very long time. i think it was quite ministerial. quite prime ministerial. i'd actually her to be the actually prefer her to be the prime minister than rishi sunak . you tweeted today, didn't . you tweeted that today, didn't you? that. and look, you? i did tweet that. and look, we've got remember, we've got to remember, we haven't any housing for haven't got any housing for these people coming across who are the majority are economic migrants. they're coming here for a better life. fair play to them. but our system allows that we take 75% of the asylum claims. we process them. in europe, it's 15 or 20. >> we we've got lefty civil servants, lefty lawyers, lefty courts all encouraging this , you courts all encouraging this, you know, and lefty charities , know, and lefty charities, telling them what to say, telling them what to say, telling them what to say, telling them to say they're gay, telling them to say they're gay, telling them to say they're gay, telling them to say they've persecuted. >> half of them are not even

the green light by authorities in glasgow , the facility, which in glasgow, the facility, which is backed by the scottish government. of course, it is , government. of course, it is, will to inject will allow users to inject illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin under the supervision of trained health. professional roles. the snp views it as a way to help tackle the country's drugs death crisis , for which drugs death crisis, for which they rank the worst in europe. so christine , our lives being so christine, our lives being fisked so christine, our lives being risked with this approach ? risked with this approach? >> well, i find this whole drug thing very, very difficult. half of me thinks that we should legalise drugs. the other half thinks that we shouldn't. and i was talking earlier on a previous programme, there was the a lesser program, a previous program. you're so diplomatic. previous program. there was a young man. aren't we all? a young man. aren't we all? a young man. aren't we all? a young man called ant who came on and who was he works with drug dependent people in scotland and he was talking about this new facility that's being opened in glasgow . and he was telling me glasgow. and he was telling me the absolutely horrific statistics. and i said, why

would you create a facility for people to go and do this? why wouldn't they prefer if they're going to shoot heroin or whatever wouldn't whatever, why wouldn't they prefer the comfort prefer to do it in the comfort of their own home? he said. they don't they on don't have homes. they are on the street . if they're on the the street. if they're on the street, this. they street, they do this. they discard goodness discard the needles. goodness knows what happens. this way. knows what happens. in this way. you have chance of they you also have a chance of they come into the centre. they are there, somebody there who can talk to them, there's somebody there to look after them when they've done it. and he said there chance that some there is just a chance that some of brought from of them may be brought back from the . now, i mean, scotland the brink. now, i mean, scotland has unbelievable rates has the most unbelievable rates of drug dependency. i mean, it's incredible. it's vastly higher than the uk. they've got to do something and if this is a way of controlling it, but i mean, half of me, you know, i say legalise soft drugs and then people shout back and they say, no, people shout back and they say, "0, i people shout back and they say, no, , because that's the no, no, because that's the gateway don't gateway to hard drugs. i don't know to know, to know enough about it to know, to be but i was impressed be honest. but i was impressed by what this chap said about about the way this would control some of the people at the

absolute bottom of the social heap and would say , save them heap and would say, save them from doing this just on the streets at risk. i mean, as you said, a lot of people you're living in a tower block or in a very poor area . and he said very poor area. and he said their children go out to play and are needles out and there are needles strung out all now, you all over the place. now, you know, that's not good. >> i just wonder, though, adam, whether line. the whether this crosses a line. the state is basically aiding and abetting drug use. >> don't like it. i really >> i don't like it. i really don't. doesn't sit right with don't. it doesn't sit right with me that you've got people sort of jacking me that you've got people sort ofjacking up drugs in front of of jacking up drugs in front of people in a room. i almost feel like that could be a safety net for some people and encourage them to go there and use drugs. i mean , it really for me, it i mean, it really for me, it doesn't sit right. and i hate i couldn't hate drugs any more. you know, i've been around drugs because i've had nightclubs and pubs and bars all my life. >> have you seen their impact? >> have you seen their impact? >> i've seen the impact and how it changes people's behaviour. i've friends. i don't want i've lost friends. i don't want anything to do with because they

were were and they were they were on drugs and they become very , very nasty people. were they were on drugs and they bec dad very , very nasty people. were they were on drugs and they bec dad was , very nasty people. were they were on drugs and they bec dad was actually asty people. were they were on drugs and they bec dad was actually murdered e. were they were on drugs and they bec dad was actually murdered by my dad was actually murdered by drug dealers . i couldn't hate drug dealers. i couldn't hate drugs any more. so, you know, for this, for me, it's like the legalisation route. i think something like that would encourage addicts and it would kill a lot of addicts if they did legalise it. i just it doesn't sit right. it really does. >> some drug outreach workers came to my son's school a few months ago, and they are obviously there at the coalface in terms of young people getting involved in drugs and taking marijuana. they were against any kind of legalisation . isn't that kind of legalisation. isn't that what this is? >> . i mean, i think as >> no. i mean, i think as christine says, legalisation is you a tough debate you know, it's a tough debate andits you know, it's a tough debate and it's and there's evidence in portugal there's been effective legalisation. i think portugal's been a mixed bag, hasn't it? exactly that's what i'm trying to say. yes. that it's you know, it's not all a one way street, but debate we should but it's a debate that we should have. one the have. and i think one of the problems drugs policy is problems with drugs policy is that politicians won't discuss it of a

it because it's too much of a political hot potato, too difficult because it's too difficult. it's kicked into that. too that. it's putting that too difficult on this very difficult draw on this very specific issue. with specific issue. i agree with christine testimony that christine and the testimony that we heard earlier on jacob's show is, know, in terms of is, you know, in terms of scotland, it is just so tragic that scotland has a particular problem with heroin. it has had it historically . you know, i it historically. you know, i mean, as we saw in the film trainspotting, one of the iconic films about scotland, the last 20 the rest of the rest 20 years in the rest of the rest of the uk and indeed the rest of the world, heroin use has massively plummeted scotland. massively plummeted in scotland. it remains a really big issue. heroin injected. heroin is basically injected. most inject it most people inject it and therefore the therefore you have the consequences, we've consequences, which we've seen. so as adam says, so i mean, it's as adam says, it's uncomfortable. nobody feels good it. but i think it's good about it. but i think it's for may for desperate people. it may be the solution. for desperate people. it may be the remember why a lot of >> let's remember why a lot of people take drugs. what people take drugs. from what i see looking in is that drugs , see looking in is that drugs, you escape reality . now life is you escape reality. now life is only going to get harder. you escape reality. now life is only going to get harder . it's only going to get harder. it's getting harder. bills you know, the way the world is going, it's getting harder. there's going to be drug users going be more drug users going fonnard. and i think , well, fonnard. and i think, well,

they're just going to encourage heroin use and encourage people to experiment with harder drugs. >> honestly, i don't think they're kind they're going into what's a kind of environment to do of medicalized environment to do it. they've done it in it. it's they've done it in switzerland and where they oddly, switzerland and scotland are the two places with the biggest heroin problems in europe. well, as i europe. and they've well, as i understand it, the people who are this what's are going to go to this what's it called, shoot up room. it called, a shoot up room. >> who are to >> the people who are going to go safe consumption is go there and safe consumption is the way of saying safe the posh way of saying safe consumption people consumption and not the people who have go who think, oh, let's have a go at i'll there at heroin. i'll do it. there they who are they are, the people who are already completely hooked. they're encouraged already completely hooked. they're by encouraged already completely hooked. they're by socialencouraged already completely hooked. they're by social workers, ed to go there by social workers, etcetera. i you know, it is such a as you said, christine, a and as you said, christine, it's give people support it's to give people support and give out . give them a pathway out. >> think that's key. but >> and i think that's key. but possibly obviously, not possibly i mean, obviously, not everyone going take that. everyone is going to take that. of course, would naive everyone is going to take that. of say rse, would naive everyone is going to take that. of say rse, but would naive everyone is going to take that. of say rse, but as would naive everyone is going to take that. of say rse, but as you d naive everyone is going to take that. of say rse, but as you say, naive everyone is going to take that. of say rse, but as you say, at|ive to say that. but as you say, at least that opportunity least gives that opportunity and that something. that potential to do something. >> the law. >> they're breaking the law. >> they're breaking the law. >> a scotland, the >> well, it's a in scotland, the most senior law officer in scotland has basically said that they can they can do it. and apart from the tories, there's a cross—party consensus in scotland. scottish scotland. look, scottish politics there isn't

politics is brutal. there isn't consensus much. but because consensus on much. but because it's such problem in central it's such a problem in central scotland , the heroin problem, scotland, the heroin problem, something's . and something's got to give. and it's and it's a trial it's a trial and it's a trial and it must be assessed. >> i'm just going to say, i think that living, you know, a million miles away from that sort situation, is sort of situation, it is difficult to understand quite how is the and how bad it is on the ground. and give it a go see what happens. well, what, mike, on well, i tell you what, mike, on email not pulling his punches. >> drug palaces today. will it be centres tomorrow? no, that's absurd . there you go. strong absurd. there you go. strong words from mike, but the show is all about opinions. mike. a different mike, says mark, allowing scotland to have their own drugs is like letting own drugs policy is like letting norfolk open up a drugs room in their county. it's ridiculous that scotland have their own that scotland can have their own rules britain's policy rules on britain's health policy . how that happen ? . how did that happen? >> in a separate legal system? it's always had a separate legal system. >> health is devolved. that's why . why. >> fascinating stuff. listen there you go. do keep those emails coming. mark at gbnews.com. coming up, he's got a history of blackface. covid
