plan that leads to overall rises. former party chairman sir jake berry , who organised the jake berry, who organised the pledge, says it will hold the chancellor to his word . chancellor to his word. >> all too often we have seen these promises and pledges made by mps across the political divide that haven't materialised thatis divide that haven't materialised that is why this tax pledge is different. it isn't connected to the conservative party. it is a direct pledge from me and my constituents in rossendale and dannen and to the british people that i will not vote to put taxes up. it's for keeps. it is a pledge that i will stick to as long as i am a member of parliament. >> meanwhile, the prime minister has vowed to focus on policies that stem the relentless attack on motorists. rishi sunaks arrived in manchester ahead of the party conference, where he is expected to address the issue this week. he told the sun he is to slam the brakes on harebrained schemes such as blanket, 20 mile an hour speed limits and low traffic neighbourhoods. the department for transport says guidance will be reviewed to prevent their

blanket use in england . todays blanket use in england. todays train strike in england, which caused major disruption across the country, was for industrial rather than political reasons . rather than political reasons. that's the view of aslef's general secretary mick whelan as drivers from 16 operators in england walked out. another strike is planned for wednesday, coinciding with the beginning and end of the tory party conference. transport secretary mark harper says the current offer on the table is reasonable . in many parts of the country had no service at all and those that did run finished earlier than usual and hundreds of demonstrators have staged a protest against the rosebank offshore development. they were rallying in central london demanding the government rican's consider approval for the controversial oil field located 80 miles west of shetland . that 80 miles west of shetland. that is the uk's largest untapped field and is estimated to contain up to 300 million barrels of oil . well, that's it barrels of oil. well, that's it from me for the moment. i'll be

this suella bravo and refuses a meeting about immigration with the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby . she's absolutely justin welby. she's absolutely right. it's the government running the country, not the church of england . and as even church of england. and as even the guardian give up on him, is it game over for joe biden? should he step aside in the race for the white house in 2024? i'll be speaking to a top political commentator live from the states . we've got the united states. we've got tomorrow's front pages at 1030 sharp. and of course, that's the sunday papers with three top pundits tonight who haven't been told what to say and who don't follow the script tonight, simon danczuk ashlyn horgan—wallace and chloe dobbs . here you go. and chloe dobbs. here you go. what a sight for sore eyes. tonight, i'll be asking the pundits on the eve of their annual conference. are the tories still the nasty party? a phrase coined by theresa may and as the cost of living bites is aldi , the new waitrose plus the

aldi, the new waitrose plus the most important part of the show. your emails as they come straight to this. my laptop mark at gbnews.com. and this show has at gbnews.com. and this show has a golden rule. a very strict golden rule. what is that rule ? golden rule. what is that rule? absolutely right . that's right. absolutely right. that's right. we don't do boring . not on my we don't do boring. not on my watch . i just won't have it. so watch. i just won't have it. so a big two hours to come. we start with my big opinion . piece start with my big opinion. piece peter kay, who i think we can all agree is an extraordinary comic genius. and the man behind phoenix nights and car share, as well as those stand up tours which break attendance records every time they happen. well like a canary in the coal mine , like a canary in the coal mine, he has flagged up genuine concerns about the stifling political correctness which is infecting the world of comedy and beyond . with this bold and beyond. with this bold interview version, he demonstrates that he's not only funny but brave too. most of the

big name stars in comedy won't speak out as they don't want to lose any gigs . they'd rather lose any gigs. they'd rather turn a blind eye to the increasingly soviet levels of censorship that we've got that creative people now face. and the reason why these big names don't speak out is because they want to keep their tv shows, their book deals, their corporate appearances and their stadium filling tours. the number of comedians with the to call out this hellish woke assault on their craft . it is assault on their craft. it is few and far between . in french few and far between. in french and saunders. they've spoken out john cleese, jemmy carr and ricky gervais . that's all we've ricky gervais. that's all we've got , though ricky gervais. that's all we've got, though millionaire funnyman graham norton went the other way and framed cancel culture as worthy punishment for wrong speak. worthy punishment for wrong speak . he called it speak. he called it accountability or something. jemmy carr , who i hugely admire jemmy carr, who i hugely admire , even has a part in his new show where he tells the jokes that he won't be allowed to tell in ten years time. this is

progress, is it? how dare this country call itself the home of intellectual freedom? do me a favour comedy in britain is getting so woke it's starting to make north korea look like the home of free speech in an article in today's mail newspaper , peter kay is quoted newspaper, peter kay is quoted as defending little britain, for example. well come to the clown world, by the way, of 2023, where you have to defend and speak up for a show that was watched and enjoyed by millions people of all backgrounds, of all races, creeds and colours , all races, creeds and colours, but now pathetically, the bbc seem to be ashamed of little britain . it was a show that britain. it was a show that reflected diverse britain and sent up anyone and everyone. but apparently that's not allowed anymore. some communities need to need to be shielded from this dangerous comedy . if you think dangerous comedy. if you think about it, a satirical takedown of british society should be universal. and to say, oh, you can't joke about this group or that group is surely the ultimate prejudice , the ultimate

ultimate prejudice, the ultimate bigotry. well come to woke . so bigotry. well come to woke. so it's okay to dress up as characters like lazy, welfare dependent vicky pollard, the pretend disabled andy pipkin, or the welsh gay character daffyd. but no one else. wouldn't that be diverse city if you took the piss of everyone and had a comic portrait of our entire diverse country ? be too much for the country? be too much for the woke taliban who love division and exclusion , then make it make and exclusion, then make it make sense. and exclusion, then make it make sense . peter kay actually sense. peter kay actually appeared in little britain defending it. he said it was far from being politically correct, but that's what made it funny. he goes on to say probably that show wouldn't get made now , the show wouldn't get made now, the show's creators, he says , have show's creators, he says, have taken a lot of flak in the past few years for the work they did, and that is a shame to right it is. he added that comedy is now such a minefield and says that political correctness is changing all the time. he insisted that whilst sometimes good comes from being pc, most of the time it's a hindrance.

there are still a few gems out there like peter kay and the very un—pc comedian dave chappelle in the united states who are pushing back on this. but there are not enough of them. have you noticed how bonng them. have you noticed how boring modern comedy is? why have the viewing figures for programmes like live at the apollo plummeted? and why do sitcoms feel more like a lecture than a laugh these days? comedy is supposed to be edgy. it's supposed to be naughty. it's there to make people uncomfortable. comedy is the art of saying things out loud so that you're not supposed to say andits that you're not supposed to say and it's supposed to be funny. which is why these censorious thugs must not prevail . comedy thugs must not prevail. comedy is the ultimate barometer of a free society, and i'm afraid in this country, famous for its comedy, life is getting less funny by the day . at which funny by the day. at which point, what's the point of life without humour if there isn't one? the tedious and troubling woke takeover of comedy is no

laughing matter. what do you think , mark at gb what do you think, mark at gb news talks ? i'm delighted that news talks? i'm delighted that peter kay has the cajones to call out this issue the terrible censorship in the world of comedy . but what do you think? comedy. but what do you think? do you enjoy modern comedy? does it make you laugh ? mark it make you laugh? mark gbnews.com let's hear from my top pundits tonight. gbnews.com let's hear from my top pundits tonight . chloe top pundits tonight. chloe dobbs, who is a political commentator. we have former labour mp simon danczuk and television personality ashlyn horgan . wallace let me start horgan. wallace let me start with you, if i may. simon i've had enough of woke comedy. what do you think? >> oh, well, i think peter kay is exactly right. i'm a big fan of peter kay. i've seen him live. we're both from lancashire. we followed the same diet. so and what he says is diet. and so and what he says is right, red garlic bread. absolutely. he does he tells absolutely. and he does he tells jokes about lancashire people and how they live their lives ,

and how they live their lives, you know, is highly popular. but this about the this is all about the intelligentsia that run the bbc and elsewhere. i don't believe that the public are intelligent enough to get the difference between what's funny , what's between what's funny, what's racist everything else. so racist and everything else. so they that they have to they believe that they have to filter in some way. it's filter it in some way. it's completely unacceptable that the general intelligent general public are intelligent enough to what's funny, enough to gauge what's funny, what they appreciate, and how they it. and it's not they appreciate it. and it's not for the bbc or anybody else to limit that in some way. that's the problem. and also, is it not an prejudice to have an act of prejudice to have a comedy show about britain and not include people of colour? >> in that's the >> because in a way, that's the logic of the criticism of little britain it's the characters britain is it's the characters of colour, which apparently now have badly, but surely have aged so badly, but surely if you're going to lampoon the country, you lampoon everyone. >> yeah , absolutely. i think >> yeah, absolutely. i think you're right to make you're exactly right to make that why is acceptable that point. why is it acceptable to joke about disabled people or welsh people ? but you can't do welsh people? but you can't do it in terms of ethnic city. it's just not acceptable. as you say. let's have fun about everybody

involved in this country, not just limited groups of people. >> chloe, you'll be aware of the character in the simpsons called apu, the friendly indian shopkeepen do apu, the friendly indian shopkeeper. do you know ? shopkeeper. do you know? >> yes, that rings a bell. i haven't watched it for many years, but i do vaguely remember charming character. >> actually, apu, great guy, >> actually, apu, a great guy, excellent man, runs excellent family man, runs a successful business and he's . successful business and he's. he's well, he's been he's asian. well, he's been cancelled by the simpsons because apparently that is a stereotype of an asian man. so is that progress ? is that progress? >> no, it's not what i really don't get is why is it so hard for people to understand that when comedians make a joke, they're actually joking. they don't what they say. i don't mean what they say. i mean, that's just so simple and it's such a shame. britain i think, has had some of the best comedy in the world as one thing that we should be very proud of as brits. and now we see little britain and amazing things being taken then taken off the internet. and then matt lucas david walliams matt lucas and david walliams being apologise . i being forced to apologise. i went to the first live performance of ricky gervais's

supernature tour and it was just so refreshing. he just said, whatever he wanted and didn't care. i haven't seen the netflix version to see what they cut out, but in the real raw version, it was just so refreshing thing was it un—pc oh, it was so un—pc but you just don't see that anymore in the comedy that you see online. it's bonng comedy that you see online. it's boring now . boring now. >> i mean, ashlene there is a flip side to this program makers. comedians are thinking that the world has changed and you've got to be very sensitive about certain groups in society. many people would argue that the little britain characters that were of colour was effectively blackface and could be deeply offensive. >> i mean , perhaps , maybe, yes. >> i mean, perhaps, maybe, yes. but i just think people need to just chill out and be able to laugh at themselves because if we can't laugh at ourselves, why else have we got? the world's a very serious place as it is. like comedy saves so much mental health, so i don't know the worry i've got ashlene and i certainly noticed this in emails to the show and as i go about my

life, that it's not only comedians that are self censoring and worried about what jokes make. jokes they make. >> i've got viewers and listeners are afraid to listeners that are afraid to make work or even make a remark at work or even around the dinner table. make a remark at work or even around the dinner table . yeah, around the dinner table. yeah, because, you might because, you know, you might make off remark in make an off colour remark in a meeting at work and then get a disciplinary well , that's what i disciplinary well, that's what i mean. >> everyone's just so afraid of what to say , what they can say what to say, what they can say and what they can't say. even me. i am. i'm like, oh god, i don't want to offend this. this this lot of people or that lot of is that any way to live your life? no, it's not. but it's the way the world right now, way of the world right now, isn't it? what are supposed isn't it? what are we supposed to of. you've got to do? you kind of. you've got to do? you kind of. you've got to fight against it. rage against go with to fight against it. rage against it go with to fight against it. rage against it was go with to fight against it. rage against it was simon. go with it. was it was simon. >> was a professor was an >> there was a professor was an academic, and he was in a department store with some other colleagues. and they were going up to floor. it was some up to the top floor. it was some work related thing. someone work related thing. and someone got said, got into the lift and said, anyone me to sort of anyone wants me to sort of choose a floor. he said, choose a floor. and he said, yeah, take me the lingerie yeah, take me to the lingerie department as joke . well, he department as a joke. well, he had month and

had a month of echr and disciplinary hearings fighting for his career , re—education, as for his career, re—education, as you say . i for his career, re—education, as you say. i mean, this is like sort of soviet russia, isn't it? >> yeah. no i mean, i know it's i know i'm exaggerating, but i feel that's the direction of travel. >> but. but what is happening, i'm pretty sure what is happening. >> the public has stopped watching tv comedies watching mainstream tv comedies because not funny. so because it's not funny. and so they're looking for it elsewhere. so they go online and watch that's really pc watch stuff that's really on pc or more acceptable to them or just more acceptable to them or just more acceptable to them or older episodes of previous programs. and you can't blame them for doing that. >> yes, course. now were them for doing that. >> mp , course. now were them for doing that. >> mp for course. now were them for doing that. >> mp for theirse. now were them for doing that. >> mp for the mp now were them for doing that. >> mp for the mp forw were them for doing that. >> mp for the mp for rochdale,5 them for doing that. >> mp for the mp for rochdale, a an mp for the mp for rochdale, a very diverse community. do you not that quite not think that it's quite patronising to british ethnic groups that they need to be protected commissioning protected by commissioning editors at the bbc? >> yeah, exactly. it's this intelligentsia within the bbc is terribly fragile group who must not be exposed to any satire. yes, absolutely . i mean, it's yes, absolutely. i mean, it's just ridiculous. just let you know. let's have some freedom around this issue. let's have some some humour around this issue. >> isn't that the woke impulse,

though, that it likes to make everyone a victim ? everyone a victim? >> yes. and what i would say , as >> yes. and what i would say, as you say, is of the bbc intelligentsia make this up, making this up often . if you making this up often. if you actually ask the people that you're saying the group that you're saying are the group that need protecting, that's what they know they actually don't care. i know this comedy, at this isn't about comedy, but at my university oxford , we had my university in oxford, we had the union rule that the student union rule that clapping was now banned at oxford university because it's triggering to disabled people . triggering to disabled people. right? and then someone actually separately did a vote solely with disabled students. and it was a unanimous no to the ban. none of the disabled students actually cared about the clapping. that's just goes to clapping. so that's just goes to obviously it's not comedy, but it's principle. right. it's the same principle. right. and that's what we're seeing. >> ask the people >> we need to ask the people that they're discussing, that group they really group of people if they really they want to live their they just want to live in their own bubble virtue own little bubble and virtue signal. >> welcome to hell. well, there you woke you go. your reaction is woke comedy funny? let me know. mark at com. do you at gb news dot com. what do you think kay's remarks think about peter kay's remarks criticising political correctness? coming up next in the story in a stunning the big story in a stunning royal development, prince harry

>> well, they did. emily and i appear on bbc shows. it would not have been hard for a producer from the bbc to call someone from . gb news is woke someone from. gb news is woke comedy funny? >> peter kay has criticised political correctness. he said it's a minefield . now that's the it's a minefield. now that's the topic of my big opinion, which will be on twitter shortly. but the emails are coming in thick and fast . mark at gbnews.com and and fast. mark at gbnews.com and we will start with a very wise email from william . good email from william. good evening, william. first email of the of the show so far comedy is self—regulating , says william self—regulating, says william low. attendance yes. and then

the show is cancelled , but the show is cancelled, but original comedy is high attendance. even the beeb has to introduce canned laughter now because there is no comedy. william i do agree. i think comedy is dying, william i do agree. i think comedy is dying , kathy says, hi comedy is dying, kathy says, hi mark thank goodness. i grew up in the 70s and the 80s when comedy was comedy. nothing was pc and bernard manning was king. the amazing fawlty towers would never be made now , and it's never be made now, and it's a loss to weep over as a woman of a certain age, if comedy doesn't make me wish i'd worn my tenor lady, then it's not funny enough. well, we might have entered the realms of much entered the realms of too much information there, kathy, but thank for that. and three thank you for that. and three kisses. honestly, i'm. kisses. i mean, honestly, i'm. i'm rotten . last but not i'm spoilt rotten. last but not least, on this one, dawn says mark in the carry on films they did not actually say anything offensive. it was our dirty minds that interpreted everything in a rude and hilarious way . the wonderfully hilarious way. the wonderfully funny films dawn , you're so funny films dawn, you're so right. last night we had anita harris on brilliant comedy actress who was in carry on doctor, which i've got to say is

my all time favourite . okay, my all time favourite. okay, lots to get through in the next couple of hours. it's time for the big story first. and tonight, rumours are swirling that king charles is keen to hit the reset button and reconcile with prince harry amid reports that the us based prince is looking to return to the uk . that the us based prince is looking to return to the uk. in recent years the tension has heightened within the royal family following comments made by prince harry in both his memoir, spare and the duke and duchess's netflix docu series harry and meghan. so he is a palace peace deal in the offing. let's speak to top royal insider lady victoria harvey . victoria, lady victoria harvey. victoria, great to have you on the show. do you think that there is hope for this relationship up ? for this relationship up? >> um, yes. i mean, i do . at the >> um, yes. i mean, i do. at the end of the day, he is seeking son. he is the second son in line to the throne. i mean, after william's children. and it's very important, i think,

that they make amends if that was going to happen soon, i don't know. um would harry move back? would meghan agree to move back? would meghan agree to move back ? i don't really see that back? i don't really see that likely. but anything is possible i >> -- >> yes. i mean, victoria to is a reconciliation option possible while harry and meghan are still married , i'm not hearing the married, i'm not hearing the volume. oh, dear . we need to. i volume. oh, dear. we need to. i could shout if you like. victoria i think it's a fascinating debate. this i would absolutely love to see the king and harry to reconcile as victoria just said, they are father and son, so not only is this drama bad news for their relationship ship and emotionally painful , it's also emotionally painful, it's also bad news for the monarchy. and it's a headache for the king. it is a political and personal problem. and i do think it's probably charles's greatest challenge. but i

probably charles's greatest challenge. buti do probably charles's greatest challenge. but i do see two stumbling blocks. i think one, the other half, she who must be obeyed, are indoors . meghan obeyed, are indoors. meghan markle, i won't call her woke mono because that's on pc. but there's another stumbling block i think and it's prince william i think and it's prince william i think and it's prince william i think prince william could be anissue i think prince william could be an issue because he is reported to be boiling with rage about about harry's behaviour in the last few years . well, i'm last few years. well, i'm delighted to say victoria is back online and we've put £0.10 in the metre victoria , do you in the metre victoria, do you think that william could be a barrier to reconciliation because you've told me in the past that he is known to be furious with his brother? >> well, i think spare really hasn't helped a lot of things between their relationship , you between their relationship, you know, william and harry, everything that he kind of put out about william , he didn't out about william, he didn't really appreciate any of that. >> so i think it's going to be quite challenging for sure. i don't think it's going to be an easy ride for harry at all. >> do you know how much emotion

and turmoil charles has been through in regards to harry? because he is fond of his son? is he? this is not only an issue of concern for the monarchy, the institution . this is a father institution. this is a father that has suffered and at the end of the day, you know , like like of the day, you know, like like i said, he's his father. >> but he has to also play the role of the monarch. now and he has to be it has to be sort of tough love as well. but, you know , everyone is going to be know, everyone is going to be looking at are they capable of bringing back, you know, this the unity in the family , which the unity in the family, which is so important, which has really been lacking . we saw that really been lacking. we saw that dunng really been lacking. we saw that during the coronation and jubilee and, you know, just even seeing the balcony looking very empty . i seeing the balcony looking very empty. i think a lot of seeing the balcony looking very empty . i think a lot of people empty. i think a lot of people have noticed that and would rather see the family unified

and together again . and together again. >> well, look, we do hope they can patch things up. but listen, let's talk about david beckham now. victoria, if we can. an he, of course, wants so much with manchester united. he was at one point england's tallies manic captain a new netflix series is about to drop about his life and career. do you think that he's a true british icon . in look , he true british icon. in look, he is he is a massive icon, not justin is he is a massive icon, not just in football, but he is a he is one of the biggest icons. >> um , of sport. and um, you >> um, of sport. and um, you know, it's been kind of a long time coming, i think he has been wanting to have this knighthood . and there's been talk about it for the last two decades. um as far as i've, i've heard. so you know, i think he does deserve it. and and i hope he gets it this time . this time. >> yeah. do you know david? did

we've met. >> you know we've met sort of on the scene in and just always seems like very pleasant kind of person and i think you know what he's done with charities, with everything that he's done in his life. i think it's sort of at this point in his career, like ten years after he left the game . and it's sort of like the right timing, i think, to be knighted. >> yes, of course, we know that a big aspect of his life is his family and that marriage, i mean, that's the bedrock of his brand, isn't it, as well as his life. >> yeah, i think what is it, 26 years? they have been married, which is very impressive, actually , for a couple to be in actually, for a couple to be in the spotlight like they are . but the spotlight like they are. but they complement each other and it's sort of like it's their brand . you know, becks , it's the brand. you know, becks, it's the posh and becks brand . and i posh and becks brand. and i think without each other, they

a pledge that i will stick to as long as i am a member of parliament. >> meanwhile, the prime minister , rishi sunak, has vowed to focus on policies that stem the relentless attack on motorists. he's arrived in manchester ahead of the party conference where he's expected to address the issue this week. he told the sun earlier he is to slam the brakes on harebrained schemes such as the blanket. 20 mile an hour speed limits and ltns low traffic neighbourhoods. the department for transport says the guidance will be reviewed to prevent their blanket use in england. prime minister aslef has denied that today's train strikes were politically motivated after the government said it was to coincide with the tory party conference. and that's the view of aslef general secretary mick whelan as drivers from 16 operators in england walked out. another one is planned for wednesday , which planned for wednesday, which coincides with the end of the conference. transport secretary mark harper says the current offer on the table is reasonable

. while many parts of the country had no services as those that did run finished earlier and hundreds of demonstrators have been staging a protest against the rosebank offshore development in central london. they're demanding the government reconsider approval for the controversial oil field. it's located 80 miles west of shetland and is the uk's largest untapped field. it's thought to contain up to 300 million barrels of oil . that is it for barrels of oil. that is it for the moment here on gb news. i'll be back with more a little later. but now it is back over to . mark to. mark >> thanks , aaron. it is saturday >> thanks, aaron. it is saturday night. welcome to mark dolan. tonight as even the guardian gave up on him . is it game over gave up on him. is it game over for joe biden? should he step aside in the for race the white house in 2024? i'll be speaking to a top political commentator later live from the united states . plus, we will get states. plus, we will get a professional verdict on his

cognitive health. plus, tomorrow's newspaper front pages and live reaction in the studio from my top pundits this evening , former labour mp simon danczuk , freshly married. look at that beaming grin of his. we've also got the brilliant tv personality and entrepreneur ashlene horgan wallace and the brilliant chloe dobbs, who is a political commentator and tiktok broadcaster . she is the future . broadcaster. she is the future. they'll be nominating their headune they'll be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeroes of the day. and don't forget, those papers are coming. but first, my take . at ten. but first, my take. at ten. jesus mary and joseph, the home secretary, we're told, has ignored calls for talks over immigration policy from the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, who previously declared the government's rwanda policy to be against the judgement of god. well i'm glad to know the two of them are still in touch.

however, mrs. braverman has , we however, mrs. braverman has, we are told, so far refused a meeting. i've got to say , i meeting. i've got to say, i really don't blame her if i was invited to tea round at old welby's place, i'd have to tell him i'm washing my hair. which, as you know , doesn't happen very as you know, doesn't happen very often . i know welby sits in the often. i know welby sits in the house of lords and he's allowed a political view. but these days he sounds like an actual politician and probably a labour one. you'd think he didn't have anything better to do. like comment on the huge social and moral problems facing this country , i.e. the collapse of country, i.e. the collapse of the family, broken homes, children born out of wedlock and an explosion in crime and antisocial behaviour . you'd antisocial behaviour. you'd think he'd be more focussed on a growing financial crisis within his own organisation as they consolidate parishes and try to save money, not helped, of course, by his decision to create a fund that will effectively pay reparations for the church's debateable links to slavery . so whether it's slavery

slavery. so whether it's slavery , reparations, immigration or his lust for net zero, it seems welby will stop at nothing to boost his woke credentials . his boost his woke credentials. his pronouncements on illegal immigration, hint towards a looser borders policy for the united kingdom. no wonder braverman doesn't want to engage with him. in my view, he's yet another privileged celebrity insulated from the real world consequences of his virtuous pronouncements . i doubt that pronouncements. i doubt that welby struggles to get a gp appointment. his accommodation is lavish and with these comments he appears completely unaware of how small communities around the country have been impacted by thousands of people accommodated in local hotels at accommodated in local hotels at a cost of £7 million a day. the illegal migrant crossings are tragic . they are an economic tragic. they are an economic national security and humanitarian disaster order. they are based on a cruel and criminal business model. people

will have perished on those crossings and earlier this year, the mail reported that 19 suspected terrorists, including the mail reported that 19 five linked to isis, were living in taxpayer funded migrant hotels . our terrorists morally hotels. our terrorists morally unaccept mr welby if you look at the polling, welby appears to be dividing his flock . you wouldn't dividing his flock. you wouldn't know this if you only read the guardian, but a majority of the pubuc guardian, but a majority of the public want an end to these unedifying, chaotic, dangerous illegal crossings, and the pubuc illegal crossings, and the public want more sustainable levels of legal net migration in welby thinks that he's above the will of the people. what do you plebs know? he with a capital h is guided by a higher force . you is guided by a higher force. you might think that stop the boats is designed to put human traffickers out of business and stop people jumping the queue at the expense of those who genuinely deserve asylum. but welby would like to correct you on that . you are ungodly. you're on that. you are ungodly. you're a sinner. you can go to hell.

woke welby is out of touch, out of step and out of order. suella don't bother with that invitation . tell him you're invitation. tell him you're washing your hair by pushing back on measures to tackle this problem and therefore unwittingly siding with people traffickers. it's actually welby's view , which is morally welby's view, which is morally unacceptable . well, may god unacceptable. well, may god forgive him . what's your view, forgive him. what's your view, mark? at cbnnews.com. now the church of england and mr welby himself, archbishop welby, would argue that he is a christian leader and he must speak up for any human being that faces privation, that faces the threat of death or torture . and that's of death or torture. and that's why he is so sympathetic to those struggling to get to this country . and of course, that is country. and of course, that is very consistent with his role as the leader of the church of england. so plenty would support his views . do england. so plenty would support his views. do you england. so plenty would support his views . do you let england. so plenty would support his views. do you let me england. so plenty would support his views . do you let me know, his views. do you let me know, mark, at gbnews.com. the

archbishop would argue that his entire approach is compassion . entire approach is compassion. ian and that's his job. but let me know what you think. let's get the views of my top pundits. chloe dobbs, who is a political commentator, former labour mp simon danczuk and television personality ashlyn horgan wallace let me start with you, if i can. ashlyn we know that the archbishop is entitled to a political view , but is he political view, but is he becoming political ? becoming political? >> well, i just i don't understand why he thinks he's got the right to sort of dictate to suella anything , because i to suella anything, because i came from a really religious background. >> and if you're studying the bible, the bible says you shouldn't be involved with politics. so if you're a person of god, don't be involved in politics. we wasn't allowed to vote when i was growing up or anything like that , so i don't anything like that, so i don't know where he gets and to know where he gets off. and to be what if suella wants be honest, what if suella wants to have meeting with to go and have a meeting with him him how run his him and tell him how to run his religion? not going to religion? it's not going to happen. it's not his place. happen. so it's not his place. and finally, if she has

and also finally, if she has a meeting with him, she needs to have a meeting with all of the heads of all of the faiths because we're a multi—faith country. make it fair and country. so make it fair and make it make sense . it's not his make it make sense. it's not his place. >> yes . i mean, chloe, the >> yes. i mean, chloe, the archbishop would argue that he's speaking up for people who are fleeing persecution in fleeing torture and fleeing potential death as well. that's his to job speak up for those people. well i mean, okay, look, he is lord. >> he is entitled to a political opinion as such. but to say that that suella braverman policies go against the judgement of god , that is just a step too far. you're then making your religion something very political. look, i'm an atheist, but i have utmost respect for christians and people of other faiths and i think it is extremely damaging to these faiths. credibility that they're now being taken over by politics and is often becoming very woke as well . now, becoming very woke as well. now, i don't know if you've seen the sparkle decreed that went sparkle decreed that was went viral from a church in america

where suddenly rewrite the where they suddenly rewrite the bible say that jesus is bible and say that jesus is non—binary and they've got pride, all over the pride, flags all over the church. it is really damaging to their image and i think it's a great shame. um. >> simon, it's the government that run the country, not the church of england. >> absolutely. and i'm all in favour of the house of lords as it but it needs reform . i it is, but it needs reform. i would of the church of would get rid of the church of england bishops the house england bishops from the house of think one of of lords. i think that's one of the reforms that you could make. other religions don't have any representation in there and i think justin welby is justified in the of getting rid of in the idea of getting rid of them. i think he should concentrate more actually, on sorting england sorting the church of england out. he's got fewer people attending his churches than ever before. terrible before. it's got a terrible record in terms of climate change, and it's got, i'm sorry to it's got a very to say, it's got a very bad record terms of managing record in terms of managing child abuse within the church, focusing those things i think focusing on those things i think are a key focus for him rather than dabble in in politics. >> briefly , though, simon, the >> briefly, though, simon, the archbishop would argue that

shipping vulnerable people , shipping vulnerable people, flying vulnerable people to rwanda is cruel and inhuman . rwanda is cruel and inhuman. >> well, not at all. it's a good place to be able to send people to. that's the reality of it. i know that country very well. but if he's really concerned about this, i've been to lambeth palace on 1 or 2 occasions. i mean, it's a vast estate in central london. if he's that concerned, put some of the illegal immigrants up there that had solved some of the problem, wouldn't it? >> fascinating debate. what is your view, mark gbnews.com. do your view, mark gbnews.com. do you want to speak up for the archbishop? sure archbishop? because i'm sure that flock would that half the flock would completely concern is completely agree. my concern is that the other half don't. and i don't that archbishops don't think that archbishops should be dividing the congregation. rather bring them together as i try to do . father together as i try to do. father dolan in my dreams as even the guardian give up on him. is it game over for joe biden? should he step aside in the race for the white in 2024? i'll be the white house in 2024? i'll be speaking political speaking to a top political commentator from the united commentator live from the united states. plus, i'll getting states. plus, i'll be getting a professional on his

professional verdict on his cognitive health. just how unwell is he? plus tomorrow's papers. all of that

>> well, they did. emily and i appear on bbc shows. it would not have been hard for a producer from the to bbc call someone from . gb news papers someone from. gb news papers coming at 1030 in an exclusive mark dolan tonight people's poll, we've been asking, are the tories still the nasty party, a term coined by theresa may? >> well, the results are in and a minority of 41.7% say yes they are. but a majority say no, they are. but a majority say no, they are not. 58.3. the archbishop of canterbury is trying to get a meeting with suella braverman to discuss illegal immigration. she's so far resisted his advances and now a big response on email. mark gbnews.com. mick says mark, i suggest we ask mr welby to open the doors of all of the many churches and properties owned by church , properties owned by the church, and have hell of a lot and they have a hell of a lot and they have a hell of a lot and can allow illegal and they can allow illegal immigrants to move in open the doors to his lavish house as

well and give it a month or two. he will soon change his woke views . as jerry says, welby views. as jerry says, welby lives in a warm, cosy bubble and usually swims against the tide. my support from the church has diminished , but since he became diminished, but since he became so verbose , boese says jerry , so verbose, boese says jerry, alan and jean have emailed in a joint email. hello, how are you both? hope you're enjoying the show and your saturday night. they've had to say the following. the world's greatest needis following. the world's greatest need is the lord jesus christ, and justin welby's role is to preach the gospel, something i've never , ever heard him do . i've never, ever heard him do. and last but not least, and this is a good one from simon dear mark, archbishop welby should be devoting more time to managing the church of england, which is really struggling post covid. congregations are dwindling rapidly and income is badly hit. the management of the c of e dunng the management of the c of e during covid was wrong. closing churches was a poor decision. rowan williams was brilliant. i wish he had stayed well. simon. i completely agree . early in the

i completely agree. early in the pandemic, i was very vocally critical of the churches for closing their doors to parishioners . part of the parishioners. part of the lockdown mass . this, at least in lockdown mass. this, at least in my view . well, look, lots more my view. well, look, lots more to get through . it's time for us to get through. it's time for us news and as dark clouds hover over the white house, even the left leaning guardian newspaper has called time on the current president with an opinion piece by timothy garton ash headlined unless joe biden stands aside, the world must prepare for president trump 2.0. so are the left deserting him or does he still have a chance of running for the white house in 2024? let's speak to top political commentator and the woman known as america's psychotherapist, dr. carol lieberman. dr. carol, great to have you on the show. has the left given up on joe biden? well they're actually poll numbers that are very confusing because on the one hand, yes, there are people who realise that day by day he's

becoming more and more demand noted. >> i mean, you know that i said from the very beginning when he was running for president from from the very beginning when he wasbasement, r president from from the very beginning when he wasbasement, that sident from from the very beginning when he wasbasement, that he ant from from the very beginning when he wasbasement, that he hadrom his basement, that he had encroaching dementia and anybody now can that it has been now can tell that it has been encroaching way too far already. he is past his sell by date , he is past his sell by date, past his expiration date . i past his expiration date. i think he needs to get out of the office, either by impeachment or the 25th amendment or by retirement, which, of course, he would never do . but on the one would never do. but on the one hand, are those people hand, there are those people there polls that say that there are polls that say that people realise that he is has some cognitive problem . some kind of cognitive problem. but at the same time, there are polls that show that people are going to vote for him. so it's because they don't feel like they it's they have anybody else. and it's really people who really that those people who would for him are would be voting for him are really voting against the repubuc really voting against the republic yes, i mean, republic because yes, i mean, i've been watching quite a lot of cnbc . of cnn and cnbc. >> they started to be openly critical of joe biden, which was not the case a year or two ago. and even the ultra woke left

wing late night us talk show hosts are joking about his . hosts are joking about his. health to. >> well, yes . i mean, you know, >> well, yes. i mean, you know, it's just so evident these days. there isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't do something. you forget something important or trip going up or down the plane or , you know, can't find plane or, you know, can't find his way unless he has the easter bunny. bunny again to help him get to where he's supposed to go after he makes his talk. but the thing is , as much as there are thing is, as much as there are people who recognise his problems and realise he , problems and realise that he, you know, we shouldn't really have president any have him as president any longer, also on the longer, there is also on the other side there is obama who does want him to remain as president. and of course obama has a lot of power in the democrat party and he wants to keep biden because he knows that biden isn't all there. and that makes it a lot easier for obama to control him to be the puppet. the puppet master. >> you are the most high profile psychotherapist in the united

states. you are known as america's psychotherapist . this america's psychotherapist. this is an appalling duty of care on joe biden, isn't it? it's this is cruel, too, for the republicans. sorry, the democratic party to let this man still be president . it's unfair still be president. it's unfair on joe biden . on joe biden. >> yes, it is. although it's hard to have much sympathy for him. he is running this country into the ground. you know you know, of course, trump says make america great again. biden is running on make america woke again or make america broke again or make america broke again . not that not that america again. not that not that america was completely broke or completely certainly not completely certainly not completely broke before, but he is just doing one thing. he's spending money like a drunken sailor. he is the fact that he, through hunter biden, through his son, he is compromised because he feels beholden to certain countries like china or like ukraine because he doesn't want them telling the world the

truth about how, you know, he's been paid millions, if not billions, and so he does their bidding. you know , he that's why bidding. you know, he that's why he keeps throwing more and more money to ukraine. that's one of the main reasons really. and china also , that's why he gives china also, that's why he gives in to china in a lot of different ways. so he is compromising the security of america. he's letting countless like were talking about like you were talking about before, people before, letting countless people in america cross the border migrants and putting them up in in, you know, wherever and really destroying city upon city, especially new york. i mean, there are it's just it's just horrible for kids who are going to school. and now have a whole influx of migrant kids who many of them don't speak english. i mean, it ruins their education money. of course, you know, there isn't enough money to take care of all these people. so one thing after another and then you know, recently on 9/11, he's the first president who didn't commemorate 9/11 at one of the sites of the 9/11 at one of the sites of the

9/11 attack, either ground zero in new york or the field in pennsylvania or the pentagon. he was in alaska . so he did a lot was in alaska. so he did a lot of other things to try to he keeps doing things to try to make us forget 9/11. so it is justitis make us forget 9/11. so it is just it is just one tragedy, really, after another every day carol. >> i understand that melania trump is reneging dating her prenuptial agreement with donald trump. what does this tell us about the state of their relationship ? do you think ? relationship? do you think? >> well, we both read the daily mail, i guess . i don't know if mail, i guess. i don't know if it's true . um i mean, we don't it's true. um i mean, we don't even know renegotiating it. in what way? i mean, the article said that she wants to make sure that her son has enough money, you know, if they get divorced or, you know, donald is put in pnson or, you know, donald is put in prison or whatever , i mean, prison or whatever, i mean, that's a reasonable thing for a mother that's what it's mother to do if that's what it's about. but it's hard to believe. you there so many you know, there are so many things out that about things that come out that about

the trumps that really or the trumps that really aren't or that exaggerated any case. >> i mean, you're an expert >> yes. i mean, you're an expert on language as well. do you on body language as well. do you think that there in a solid marriage ? marriage? >> i think that they are. i mean, she has is she you know, there have been so many ups and downs in and i think that they are i think, you know, i'm sure he is not the easiest person to live with. but i do think that there is a lot of affection between the two of them. i think also wouldn't want to also that she wouldn't want to get divorced no matter who she was married to, she was married to, because she really about raising her really cares about raising her son keeping an intact son and about keeping an intact marriage for her son as well. >> i think it's impressive that melania did not divorce donald trump after he ceased to be president. i think that was her escape route. she didn't take it. carol which suggests that the two are rather happy together . good luck to them . can together. good luck to them. can donald trump, carol, survive all of these legal challenges ? do of these legal challenges? do you think ? you think? >> oh, that's the $64,000

question in. um, i certainly hope so, because a lot of them are trumped up charges , you are trumped up charges, you know, and the judges or the da's the people involved in the cases are so unfair because you know, they we know from their history that they have given money to the democrats. i mean, they're so they should really be recusing themselves because of their past , recusing themselves because of their past, of their obvious leanings against trump and for the democrats , carol, great to the democrats, carol, great to have you back on the show. >> always a fascinating conversation . uh, carol, is conversation. uh, carol, is america's psychotherapy . check america's psychotherapy. check out her brilliant website, dr. carol with an e.com, um, fascinating stuff. lots more to come . the papers are next. and come. the papers are next. and let me tell you, it's the sunday papers with some rather surprising headlines. so we got the with live reaction in the papers with live reaction in the papers with live reaction in the studio from my top pundits . the studio from my top pundits. lots to get through. see

the economy. it's the economy, stupid, isn't it? that was the whole clinton campaign in whole bill clinton campaign in the us and it applies as much now . he's the us and it applies as much now. he's right to the us and it applies as much now . he's right to focus on now. he's right to focus on small boats. he's right to focus on the nhs. but the big issue will be the economy getting inflation down, even cutting taxes perhaps would give them some some benefit. well, yes. >> i mean , john curtis is right. >> i mean, john curtis is right. he was on the show last week very, very, you know, illustrious man and really the sage of all the pollsters . sage of all the pollsters. >> he said that former tory voters, you know, those who lent bofis voters, you know, those who lent boris johnson their support in 2019 are angry about the economy . as you say, the nhs and immigration on. but on what planet are labour the answer? >> well , that's the big issue, >> well, that's the big issue, isn't it? and when they have come out, they've come out with very few policies. they came out with immigration a week or two ago and then that was fraught with problems because they tied it to a european solution. and i would have thought that was the last thing that labour would have wanted to talk about . so

have wanted to talk about. so that was a mistake. i yeah, the brussels are going to help us fix this. >> yeah. and we'll agree to a quota. >> yeah, absolutely. why? he tied himself with tied himself up with that is beyond a big mistake on his beyond me. a big mistake on his part. they keep making mistakes like that. won't winning like that. they won't be winning the general election. i the general election. well, i got from sammy earlier got an email from sammy earlier who says , i like your ex—labour who says, i like your ex—labour mp guest. >> he actually talks sense unlike most of the labour woke front bench. you're a special breed , aren't you? i mean you breed, aren't you? i mean you are an old school lefty, i suppose. >> well, traditional, traditional , yeah. and that's traditional, yeah. and that's tough on illegal immigration, tough on illegal immigration, tough on illegal immigration, tough on benefit cheats . tough on benefit cheats. celebrate the royal family. that's the labour party's moved away from me and it's now all this sort of north london labour which is north london. yeah well yeah but you're not labour. >> yeah. and it sounds like you're going to, you're not, you're going to, you're not, you're not, you're not wokeist you'll be chucked out eventually. >> yeah. there will be, there will be a cull. >> god. >> oh god. >> oh god. >> be rid of, >> yeah. you'll be rid of, you'll be banned from gales

patisserie. but, but this is patisserie. but but, but this is the dilemma for , for keir the dilemma for, for keir starmer and i don't understand if win the if the strategy is to win the next election why not next election, why he's not more robust on on migration, why he's not more robust on some of those cultural issues as well. patriotism traditional values. yeah. >> no, that's where i think he's getting it wrong and that's why i think labour could still lose the general election really incredibly true. yeah, absolutely . because those red absolutely. because those red wall voters think very much like i do. they are up there in the north from where i come from, and they're tough on immigration and they're tough on immigration and tough on benefit cheats and starmer is not addressing that. >> what do you think? i mean, you are an out conservative supporter , aren't you, chloe? supporter, aren't you, chloe? it's fair to say if i have to, it doesn't mean i'm happy with the tory party in its current state, but i probably will vote for them. >> you make of that >> what do you make of that headune >> what do you make of that headline headed for headline tories headed for election wipe—out. >> would with a pinch >> i would take it with a pinch of salt. >> always say that >> the polls always say that they're worse than they're going to do worse than they're going to do worse than they at last they will because at the last minute freak out minute people often freak out

and go for what they think is the safe option. even if earlier they would vote they said that they would vote laboun they said that they would vote labour. think they are labour. but i think they are going to lose for sure. but you're quite right saying that focusing on the economy is what this person has got right. it's what actually affects people's everyday lives. most people are not that political, but they will vote on things that affect them every day when they go to them every day when they go to the supermarket and they can't afford buy what they need to afford to buy what they need to buy to feed their families. that's what people care about. buy to feed their families. thaspeakingyeople care about. buy to feed their families. thaspeakingyeo which,e about. buy to feed their families. thaspeakingyeo which, ashlene >> speaking of which, ashlene cracking the sunday cracking headline in the sunday express. the prime express. i think the prime minister making all the right noises. £1 billion lifeline for derelict high streets . it's not derelict high streets. it's not in the general scheme of things, a huge amount of money. i think their targeting 55 rundown town towns . but that will make towns. but that will make a world of a difference to those communities. oh i love it because every local high street near me is just it's just derelict. >> it's just it's just like a ghost town. it's just everything shut down. apart from food shops, chemists and second hand

shops, chemists and second hand shops, that's all charities anymore. >> yeah, charities and betting shops. right. >> that's about it. shops. right. >> that's about it . exactly >> that's about it. exactly that. and it's. it's heartbreaking. so many friends have lost their businesses. it's just really sad. >> well, i'm just going to say. >> well, i'm just going to say. >> but this is pork barrel politics. i suspect the 55 rundown towns are all concerned lviv constituencies or the vast majority of them are. and the real solution to this is not just giving some money away. it's sorting out business rates. you mentioned charity shops. they don't pay any business rates and that's an unfair competition compared to conventional retail . as small conventional retail. as small independent retailers, business rates is the big issue that's not being tackled well, definitely because you get these empty high streets and then you also have just these big brands, don't you? >> so it's good news for the corporates, but not the smaller retailers such colour retailers who offer such colour to every community. yeah, you don't want to go to another town andits don't want to go to another town and it's just costa and not that there's anything wrong with those, but you know costa boots and i know you want to mix don't

you an independent out a real flavour and diverse city two high streets yeah yeah so look there's another story about about the tories. a third of tory voters will switch poll exclusive. but what about this one? to really boil your blood ashlene nhs bands a useful anaesthetic to hit net zero target. so not only is net zero going to cost us a fortune, it might cost our life, but what is useful? >> what do they do? >> what do they do? >> well, i think i think the idea is the nhs is banning an anaesthetic gas to meet net zero targets in a move that leading climate expert warned, experts warn lacks any scientific basis , the health service has said it's decommissioned being a certain kind of gas which is produces an anaesthetic effect because of climate change. so i think basically i think it's a simple way of knocking people out. but because of net zero, they're going it anymore. >> well, surely there must be an alternative somebody >> well, surely there must be an al'having e somebody >> well, surely there must be an al' having e operation, omebody >> well, surely there must be an al'having e operation, they'rer is having an operation, they're going get knocked out going to have to get knocked out

. getting knocked out. . i love getting knocked out. i get having surgery get i'm always having surgery for something cosmetic . and for something cosmetic. and yeah, you have to get knocked out. so how are they to going which just tells me that this is the religion that is net zero. >> now that know, surely you >> now that you know, surely you would prioritise what appears to be the reason why they obviously have this useful simple anaesthetic is it's probably quick it's cheap and it's quick and it's cheap and it's uncomplicated and let's be honest, they've been using gas in nhs for what, over 100 in the nhs for what, over 100 years? probably so. so therefore. but it gets gets sacrificed at the altar of net zero. >> so it does seem a bit crazy, doesn't it? and the sort of rash decisions being made like this when more realistic view needs to be taken, you could imagine that that decision being revised and changed actually , chloe, and changed actually, chloe, this is one for you. >> it's a little bit intellectual, so strap yourself intellectual, so strap yourself in england, star gets his tackle out for romp but refuses to take off his not very romantic ankle warmers. so this this young man,

this thriving youngster, probably in the premier league, has had a little sojourn with a young woman there, obviously clearly in love and will marry shortly . but he kept he kept his shortly. but he kept he kept his socks on throughout as the only person the pundits is probably there is actually in there is actually scientific evidence behind this. >> i can't remember the exact percentage, but there's actually a significantly higher chance of if you have your socks on because of how it cuts the blood flow. >> so this is actually a thing . >> so this is actually a thing. >> so this is actually a thing. >> this is a thing , i think both. >> yeah, this is good to know. simon you are freshly married. spare the gory details because it's a family show. but absolutely. or socks absolutely. socks on or socks off. socks off. off. come on, socks off. >> got . every time. yeah, >> i've got. every time. yeah, absolutely . ash, from limited absolutely. ash, from my limited experience, are a you're a experience, you are a you're a one of the world. >> yes, i am. >> yes, i am. >> you've lived a life. >> you've lived a life. >> i have. >> i have. >> would you would you chuck out a that his socks on? a man that kept his socks on? >> not all. >> no, not at all. >> no, not at all. >> a deal breaker you? >> a deal breaker for you? >> a deal breaker for you? >> don't mind. i don't >> no, i don't mind. i don't really like feet. well, like really like feet. well, i like mine, so they can mine, but not men. so they can keep socks on. fine.
