3:14 pm
boats? >> so it's a collective position. you know, it's not down to one individual at all. the whole of government . we used the whole of government. we used to have an illegal migration task across whole of task force across the whole of government work on this. i government who work on this. i work the ben wallace work with the mod, ben wallace at the government has at the time, the government has said stop the said it's going to stop the boats actually i think boats and actually i think they're to have explain they're going to have to explain that its entirety. what are that in its entirety. what are the policies that will the key policies that will lead to stopping boats? the to stopping the boats? the crucial thing, though, people are it's are still crossing and it's still putting all the pressures are still crossing and it's sti|our|tting all the pressures are still crossing and it's sti|our systems the pressures are still crossing and it's sti|our systems domestically; are still crossing and it's sti|our systems domestically . and on our systems domestically. and actually, you know, we've got the sorry, the the strasbourg sorry, the supreme judgement supreme court judgement that's coming week. think it coming up next week. i think it could or the week after could be or the week after it starts week. next week starts next week. next week around flights. can around the rwanda flights. can i ask how you would feel about turning back? have turning boats back? so we have already that so i can already tried that. so i can tell you now i've been there many times. >> you actually talk to us a little bit about that process because i know that that was involved with it's very controversial it's controversial and it's not straightfonnard . strai ghtfo nnard. >> so the straightfonnard. >> so the french absolutely resist the whole concept and the principle of turning boats back. that would also mean entering
3:15 pm
french territorial waters , french territorial waters, british vessels entering french territorial waters. french entered our territorial waters. you know, we wouldn't take too kindly to that for obvious reasons. so we tried to work in partnership and our approach working with the mod. so with ben wallace as defence secretary back then, was to bring in the navy, bring in navy personnel l to work with border force officials to actually try and look at the turn back process . look at the turn back process. but it is controversial because you risk lives being lost at sea. yeah, it's very, very difficult and not everybody agrees with this as well. and as i've said, the french fundamentally disagree with turning boats back. and sending them back to france. this is the whole thing. they do not want them once they leave. and then you argue and you could you could argue and you could argue, what, i'm about argue, you know what, i'm about to now, once leave to say now, once they leave france, the french think, well, that's problem, brit. that's now your problem, brit. you we're not to that's now your problem, brit. you take we're not to that's now your problem, brit. you take them we're not to that's now your problem, brit. you take them back'e're not to that's now your problem, brit. you take them back type 1ot to that's now your problem, brit. you take them back type thing. going take them back type thing. so a of toing and so there's a lot of toing and froing that . froing on that. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly.
3:16 pm
>> when you were there before suella braverman home office, suella braverman in home office, did your did you feel that all your efforts thwarted by efforts were being thwarted by officials? a about officials? we hear a lot about the and civil servants the blob and civil servants stopping you doing stuff because we how much you believe in we know how much you believe in it. yeah, i mean, i can candidly say it wasn't like that because all credit to boris johnson, he basically said this is not just a home office issue. >> the whole of government has to so we had an to get behind this. so we had an illegal migration task force. every member of the cabinet had a role to play. even the chancellor were you backed by your officials? our officials did work to me, there's no doubt about not about that. rwanda would not have the have happened without the support of my officials . we had support of my officials. we had to there, do country to go there, do country profiling, know, negotiate profiling, you know, negotiate with the government rwanda . with the government of rwanda. and because of my past role in differed as well, i understood all the issues with un conventions and things that conventions and things of that nature. so they supported me on that. real challenge is that. the real challenge is around getting the flights to going rwanda but actually going rwanda now, but actually it's still more than that. what can we practical do to either stop boats or go upstream
3:17 pm
stop the boats or go upstream and actually have the interventions to stop the people smugglers? and our focus should always be going after the gangs , going after the evil people smugglers , because they're the smugglers, because they're the ones that perpetrating these crimes. i there's a bit of >> i think there's a bit of pearl about pearl clutching going on about rwanda i've got a sneaky rwanda because i've got a sneaky suspicion if it works for suspicion that if it works for us, countries will do us, other countries will do something very similar. so this is well documented and it's already public. >> denmark were also looking to negotiate with rwanda to at the same time we were having discussions with rwanda . and i discussions with rwanda. and i think i've read that germany more recently, and there are other countries that are looking to negotiate as well . to negotiate as well. >> interview us did say >> and interview with us did say we world leading in other we are world leading in other countries example. >> correct. and what's >> so it is correct. and what's interesting, i have been i do know what's going on in rwanda . know what's going on in rwanda. they themselves, the government, have actually been welcoming refugees afghanistan . more refugees from afghanistan. more recently, girls . and also recently, women, girls. and also we know about the conflict in sudan.so we know about the conflict in sudan. so they've taken the medical students who've been displaced sudan , and now displaced in sudan, and now they're educating and training them resettled in
3:18 pm
them and they're resettled in rwanda. the key thing about rwanda. and the key thing about the policy was it was the rwanda policy was it was absolutely designed to raise the bar when it came to global resettlement. it's not a punishment. we should be clear about that . we are investing in about that. we are investing in people to resettle in rwanda to be reskilled, retrained. we've got plenty of case studies, actually, of people of other nationalities that have resettled in rwanda who've actually become actually gone on to become entrepreneurs and business leaders and of that leaders and things of that nature. i think it's about nature. and i think it's about time the debate went higher, not low . and literally we had that low. and literally we had that discussion about how do we resettle people in a humane way so they rebuild lives i >> and yeah, indeed, there's a lot of talk today. think tank >> and yeah, indeed, there's a lot of tthetoday. think tank >> and yeah, indeed, there's a lot of tthe cornerthink tank >> and yeah, indeed, there's a lot of tthe corner from tank >> and yeah, indeed, there's a lot of tthe corner from here around the corner from here about i wonder about foreign aid and i wonder if a bit you talked if this ties in a bit you talked about doing things upstream okay so marry up with so how does that marry up with i think a desire from a of think a desire from a lot of people at this conference and dare i say it, maybe the wider pubuc dare i say it, maybe the wider public well to foreign public as well to cut foreign aid. that work? aid. how would that work? >> doesn't to be quite >> so it doesn't to be quite candid, at the state of the candid, look at the state of the world. you know, we see parts of the world where there are global

3:20 pm
part networks , but are part of the networks, but are obviously being watched by the intelligence services as well . intelligence services as well. and there's lots of information and cooperation that takes place in countries, too , which in those countries, too, which is that is the is really important. that is the upstream that we need . but upstream work that we need. but they need to be able to take the legal interventions to smash the gangs there. so we don't have the repercussions, you know, in europe, time these people europe, by the time these people come just come to europe, it's just too late. >> exactly . >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> you're here with all you're talking about security. but why are you here and why were you with farage night? with nigel farage last night? is it join the tory party >> oh, well, that's a matter for nigel. really people know i >>i >> i mean, lam >> i mean, if you were a leader. >> i mean, if you were a leader. >> well, i'm not leader. and it's public record that nigel and i, because of our, you know, campaigns on brexit and everything else , we go back. we everything else, we go back. we absolutely back and we've absolutely go back and we've shared platforms. comes shared platforms. when it comes up for britain post up to stand up for britain post et cetera and i suspect we'll et cetera. and i suspect we'll continue to do the have continue to do the same and have many those discussions on gb many of those discussions on gb news many of those discussions on gb neichristopher, were >> christopher, you were interviewing the prime minister earlier and you earlier on, weren't you? and you were cheeky with one of
3:21 pm
were a bit cheeky with one of the questions him, the questions you asked him, didn't about yeah, didn't you, about nigel yeah, that's asked at the that's why i asked him at the end question, would you end of the question, would you like farage? end of the question, would you like wasage? here the end of the question, would you like timesage? here the end of the question, would you like time inge? here the end of the question, would you like time in weeksere the end of the question, would you like time in weeksere join. le first time in weeks to join. >> just crack on because >> let me just crack on because we're going to go now to the current home secretary, suella braverman, who is talking at the conservative in conservative party conference in manchester. she's taking the manchester. she's taking to the stage . we'll be stage any moment now. we'll be heanng stage any moment now. we'll be hearing her people hearing from her people obviously applauding i obviously are applauding her. i think to it now. it think we can go to it now. it looks like she's to start looks like she's about to start talking. braverman alex talking. i suella braverman alex norris good to norris party conference. good to see you. >> start out, ladies and >> let me start out, ladies and gentlemen, by thanking a few people . people. >> first of all, my brilliant ministerial team , they're here. ministerial team, they're here. >> chris philp, robert jenrick, tom tugendhat sarah, simon murray, andrew sharp, and my parliamentary team, james sunderland, sean bailey. >> kieran mullen, scott mann and byron davies. thank you for your fantastic work .
3:22 pm
fantastic work. >> i'd also like to thank all the home office civil servants who work flat out to keep this country safe and of course, the greater manchester police and all the officers from around the country who are doing their duty . here >> now, i don't know if you've noticed, but as home secretary, i do occasionally receive a modicum of criticism or sometimes i'm asked if i ever read what my critics say about me. well the answer is yes, i do . i'm made of strong stuff. so i'm prepared to wade through the personal abuse, the wild invective and the wilful misrepresentation , because i misrepresentation, because i believe that all of us should strive for improvement and if we
3:23 pm
close our ears to anyone who disagrees with us, we're less likely to identify our mistakes. one of the reasons why the conservative party has survived and thrived for so long is because we are not afraid to admit when we get it wrong and adapt accordingly. we listen and we learn and we renew ourselves and that's what we're doing here this week in manchester. we're raising our game because next year this country will face a clear choice at the general election . who do people trust to election. who do people trust to deliver the change that britain needs ? because there are huge , needs? because there are huge, huge challenges ahead . the world huge challenges ahead. the world is being transformed by powerful forces and i think the british
3:24 pm
people see that perhaps more clearly than some of those in westminster who live in the bubble of complacency . i also bubble of complacency. i also think most british people have a pretty good sense of how they expect their government to respond to those challenges . and respond to those challenges. and i'm confident that when push comes to shove , the voters will comes to shove, the voters will realise is that they are much more likely to get the change they really want from rishi sunak and the conservatives than from any of the left wing parties . and the reason is parties. and the reason is simple and i'll explain it with an example from my responsibilities as home secretary . now one of the most secretary. now one of the most powerful forces reshaping our world is unprecedented mass migration , the wind of change migration, the wind of change that carried my own parents
3:25 pm
across the globe in the 20th century was a mere gust compared dad to the hurricane that is coming because today the option of moving from a poorer country to a richer one is not just a dream for billions of people. it is an entirely realistic prospect . every human, every prospect. every human, every single person has the right to aspire to, to a better life. as conservatives . that's one of the conservatives. that's one of the cornerstones of our philosophy. indeed without that dream, i wouldn't be standing before you today . but conservatives are today. but conservatives are also practical and realistic. no body can deny that there are far, far , far more people in far, far, far more people in poorer countries who would love
3:26 pm
to move to britain than could ever be accommodated . i'd even ever be accommodated. i'd even even if we concreted over the countryside, turned our cities into one vast building site and erected skyscrapers from eastbourne to elgin , from hull eastbourne to elgin, from hull to holyhead . it still wouldn't to holyhead. it still wouldn't be enough. demand will always outstrip supply . i know it . be enough. demand will always outstrip supply . i know it. you outstrip supply. i know it. you know it , outstrip supply. i know it. you know it, and the outstrip supply. i know it. you know it , and the voters outstrip supply. i know it. you know it, and the voters know outstrip supply. i know it. you know it , and the voters know it know it, and the voters know it . this country has been generous in taking in refugees from afghanistan, from ukraine, from syria, from hong kong. the decency of the british people cannot not be questioned . but cannot not be questioned. but they also they also care deeply about overall numbers in poll after poll, the british people all have been clear . immigration all have been clear. immigration
3:27 pm
is all already too . is all already too. high and they know another thing that the future could bring millions more migrants to these shores, uncontrolled and unmanageable unless the government they elect next year acts to decisively to stop that happening. and we are the only party that will take effective action . effective action. on now , i can't pretend that now, i can't pretend that politicians have done a great job of managing immigration for the last 30 years. we were too slow to recognise the scale of
3:28 pm
the problem , too unwilling to the problem, too unwilling to accept that our legal framework needed to be updated . and let's needed to be updated. and let's be honest , far too squeamish be honest, far too squeamish about being smeared as racist to properly bring order to the chaos. properly bring order to the chaos . but under rishi sunak's chaos. but under rishi sunak's leadership, things are changing. we are raising our game . for we are raising our game. for years . to many overseas students years. to many overseas students were bringing their dependents here to the uk. so we've changed the rules to ensure that a student visa is not a route for whole families to come and live and work in the uk. whole families to come and live and work in the uk . when i stood and work in the uk. when i stood before you at conference last year , we were dealing with year, we were dealing with a surge of albanian illegal migrants coming on small boats. over £12,000 in 2022 alone. fast fonnard a year and thanks to the
3:29 pm
returns deal with albania that we put in place and changes that we put in place and changes that we made to our rules , those we made to our rules, those numbers are now . down by 90% numbers are now. down by 90% indeed , against a backdrop of indeed, against a backdrop of increasing illegal migration into europe by small boat crossings to the uk, are down by 20% compared to last year . and 20% compared to last year. and conference. we will soon begin closing down asylum hotels .
3:30 pm
closing down asylum hotels. thatis closing down asylum hotels. that is not nearly enough. i accept that, but it is a start andits accept that, but it is a start and it's a hell of a lot more than labour would do. i said at conference last year that we had to change our laws and we did . to change our laws and we did. our legal migration act, which will come into force in the coming months , now means that coming months, now means that the only route to asylum in the uk is a legal route. the act means that those arriving illegally will be detained and removed back to their home country if possible, or to a safe third country like rwanda . safe third country like rwanda. but all of this is ultimately a question of political will and be under no illusion we will do what ever it takes to stop the boats and deter bogus asylum seekers as .
3:31 pm
seekers as. we will also ensure that legal migration comes down to reasonable levels and that it occurs only when there is a clear benefit to the british people. that's our pledge. that's our plan. and i believe the public will back it. because everyone knows what labour will do on migration. labour will do what labour always does open our borders at heart. labour doesn't believe that we have the right to keep people out. sure they may mouth a bit of occasional rhetoric about controlling our borders, but that's not what the labour party has ever done in government and it's not just negligence or incompetence ,
3:32 pm
negligence or incompetence, although you can be guaranteed of plenty of that if labour wins, it's actually deliberate . wins, it's actually deliberate. the biggest reason why conservative governments have struggled to get illegal migration under control is because labour governments passed laws that inhibit effective action because the truth is we struggle to remove foreign criminals. we struggle to get accurate data on the ages of the asylum seekers. we struggle even to confiscate their phones when they arrive on our beaches . let me tell you , our beaches. let me tell you, our beaches. let me tell you, our country has become enmeshed in a dense net of international rules that were designed for another era and it is labour that turbo charged their impact by passing the misnamed human rights act. i am surprised caused they didn't call it the
3:33 pm
criminal rights . criminal rights. act because i tell you, every time i've gone to parliament to improve the law on immigration, labour has tried to block us, always aided by their allies in the third sector, some of whom openly declare that they oppose national borders merely on principle. all of them bleating the same incest accusation race based, racist, racist . they've based, racist, racist. they've always used that smear. they tried it against margaret thatcher. it didn't work. >> they tried it against david cameron . cameron. >> it didn't work a couple of years ago. they even tried it against winston churchill , years ago. they even tried it against winston churchill, our greatest ever leader . and it greatest ever leader. and it didn't even work then . and i can didn't even work then. and i can promise you that it won't work
3:34 pm
against rishi sunak and it won't work against me. because the truth is , every one because the truth is, every one of us in this room should be proud of our roots and proud of our conservative values , as we our conservative values, as we believe that britain has the right to secure borders, to decide who gets into our country and who does not. we are the party to confront the challenge of global migration in the years ahead. of global migration in the years ahead . not a labour party that ahead. not a labour party that will open the borders and then cw will open the borders and then cry racism to anyone who objects . so let's be clear . the choice . so let's be clear. the choice between conservatives and labour is the choice between strong
3:35 pm
borders and no borders . borders and no borders. now the next election will also be fought out on law and order. between a conservative government that wants the police to focus on criminal justice and a labour party that thinks the police should focus on social justice. but within a conservative government that stands up for the police and a labour party that wants to see them take the knee between a conservative government that wants to help ordinary people go about their lives and impeded and a labour party that sympathises with the eco idiots that block our roads and stop mums from taking their kids to school, stop workers from getting to their jobs and stops ambulances from getting to
3:36 pm
hospitals because is when it comes to just stop oil. labour's lawyers advise them and labour's donors fund them . donors fund them. that's exactly why labour resisted the legislation that we passed to crack down on this madness, because thanks to our new laws, the police can now get these clowns off our streets and get traffic moving in a matter of minutes . as the prime of minutes. as the prime minister and i are firmly on the side of the law abiding majority . that's why we've backed our police officers with one of the largest ever rises in police pay . it's why we ensured we hit our target of 20,000 additional police officers. so that we now have more officers in england and wales than ever before . it's
3:37 pm
and wales than ever before. it's why we've backed the police's use of stop and search as an effective way to get knives off our streets. it's why we secured agreement from the police to investigate all burglaries and follow all reasonable lines of inquiry. when someone reports a crime and it's why we've reformed hate crime guidance so that officers aren't wasting hours investigating squabbles on twitter. it's why we're making sure the police are not inadvertently helping mobs to enforce non—existent blasphemy laws. and it's why we've prioritised tracking down grooming gang perpetrators and getting justice for their victims after authorities turned a blind eye. it's why we've made sure that prevent it. the government program that stops people sliding towards terrorism is focussed on the main security threat to the british public. islamist extremism . and let
3:38 pm
islamist extremism. and let me take a moment to recognise that in all of this we have been assisted by some truly excellent police and crime commissioners who share our commitment to common sense and law and . common sense and law and. order there is so much more to do and the public knows that. but labour certainly won't do it. there's more to do to reform our vagrancy laws because we cannot let british cities go the way of san francisco or seattle . san francisco or seattle. there's more to do to ensure that foreign national offenders aren't clogging up our prisons for less serious crimes, but are booted out of britain as soon as possible . there's much more to possible. there's much more to do to end the scandal of rapists
3:39 pm
and files, changing their names to evade sanction fines and criminal record checks . and so criminal record checks. and so we will bring fonnard legislation to prevent registered sex offenders from changing their identities . we changing their identities. we will work to strengthen background checks so that they can catch undisclosed change pages of identity . pages of identity. let me tell you something. i don't care if anyone thinks this is interfering with their human rights. it's time to worry less about the rights of sexual predators and more about the rights of victims .
3:40 pm
rights of victims. i want to thank the safeguarding alliance for their tireless campaigning on this issue and let me go on and say this. i have a particular message to those brave police officers who risk their lives, risk their lives to protect the rest of us by carrying firearms into situations where they could be harmed or even killed . harmed or even killed. you are the thin blue line . you you are the thin blue line. you have our support. we are grateful for the vital work that you do day in, day out, and that's why i announced a review to report to me by the end of the year to ensure that the legal and operational framework in which they operate is robust
3:41 pm
and commands the confidence of both officers and the public. and to those who ask whether labour can be trusted to fight crime, i have a two word answer for sadiq khan . for sadiq khan. if there's any justice in this world, susan hall is going to wipe the floor with him in . may wipe the floor with him in. may they've already started the character assassination against sue.the character assassination against sue. the distortions , the sue. the distortions, the insults, the lies , because insults, the lies, because that's what the labour party always does. it prefers smears to debate . now, personally, to debate. now, personally, i take their abuse as a compliment
3:42 pm
. i know they've tried to make me into a hate figure because i tell the truth . the blunt, tell the truth. the blunt, unvarnished truth about what is happening in our country. unvarnished truth about what is happening in our country . and i happening in our country. and i know , i know there are some who know, i know there are some who think that emphasis being the importance of law and order or secure borders is unedit dying. they look down on those of us who care about such things of course they are entitled to their beliefs , but let's be their beliefs, but let's be honest . these are luxury beliefs honest. these are luxury beliefs . what do i mean by that ? our . what do i mean by that? our politically correct critics have money. they have status. they have loud voices . they have the have loud voices. they have the luxury of promoting seductive but irresponsible ideas , safe in but irresponsible ideas, safe in the knowledge that their privilege will insulate them from any collateral damage. the
3:43 pm
luxury beliefs brigade sits in their ivory towers, telling ordinary people that they are morally deficient because they dare to get upset about the impact of illegal migration. net zero or habitual criminals. impact of illegal migration. net zero or habitual criminals . and zero or habitual criminals. and you can be sure of one thing people with luxury beliefs will flock to labour at the next general election because that's the way to get the kind of society they want . what is that society they want. what is that they want? and they like open borders . the migrants coming in borders. the migrants coming in won't be taking their jobs . borders. the migrants coming in won't be taking their jobs. in fact, they're more likely to have them mowing their lawns or cleaning their homes . they love cleaning their homes. they love soft sentences because the criminals who benefit from such ostentatious compassion won't be terrorising their streets or grooming their children . they're grooming their children. they're desperate to reverse brexit, but they think patriotic ism and is embarrassing and have no use for
3:44 pm
their british passport unless it's taking them to their second homes in tuscany or the dordogne . for these people, i have a simple message you are entitled to your luxury beliefs, but the british people will no longer pay british people will no longer pay for them . pay for them. there's another reason i think we will win the next election. you see, we have a secret weapon . well, not that secret . . well, not that secret. everyone in this hall knows it. i think everyone who will be at labour conference knows it too. and our friends in the media definitely know it . our secret definitely know it. our secret weapon is sir keir starmer .
3:45 pm
weapon is sir keir starmer. you see, the british people have no enthusiasm for sir keir starmer . they know that he believes in nothing. they know that he will say anything to anyone and then change his mind at the first sign of trouble . keir starmer sign of trouble. keir starmer lacks the personality to lead this country effectively. imagine an imagine what would happenif imagine an imagine what would happen if he became prime minister . luxury beliefs would minister. luxury beliefs would reign supreme. britain would go properly woke . things are bad properly woke. things are bad enough already . we see it in enough already. we see it in parts of whitehall, in museums and galleries and the police and even in leading companies in the city under the banner under the banner of diversity equity and inclusion , official policies inclusion, official policies have been embedded that distort the whole purpose of these institutions highly controversial ideas are presented to the workforce and
3:46 pm
to the public as if they're motherhood and apple pie, gender ideology, white privilege or anti british history . and the anti british history. and the evidence demonstrates that if you don't challenge this poison things just get worse . whole things just get worse. whole institutions , organs become institutions, organs become captured . and of course, as captured. and of course, as always happens, when the left gets the upper hand, those who fail to conform are persecuted , fail to conform are persecuted, chased out of their jobs for saying that a man can't be a woman, scolded for rejecting that they're beneficiaries of institutional racism , institutional racism, disciplined for using the wrong words . this conservative words. this conservative government has begun the task of clearing out this pernicious nonsense . s .
3:47 pm
nonsense. s. the british people will get to decide if they want to kerb woke with rishi sunak or let it run riot with keir. take the knee starmer lay labour is the party of pressure groups, rich zealots and trade union activists . but and trade union activists. but you know the conservative party conservative party is also a kind of trade union because we are the trade union of the british people . and i think we british people. and i think we should adopt as our motto , these should adopt as our motto, these lines from the poet shelley, which i'm shamelessly taking back from labour rise like lions after slumber in unvanquishable number. shake your chains to earth like dew , which in sleep earth like dew, which in sleep had fallen on you . you are many
3:48 pm
had fallen on you. you are many , they are few . we stand with , they are few. we stand with the many the law abiding , hard the many the law abiding, hard working commie sense majority against the few . the privileged against the few. the privileged woke minority with their luxury beliefs who wield influence out of proportion to their numbers . of proportion to their numbers. our message to the people all is clear . we are our message to the people all is clear. we are raising our game . clear. we are raising our game. we are fighting for a britain that puts you first. we are on your side . that puts you first. we are on your side. thank you . your side. thank you. >> okay, so that was the home secretary >> suella braverman. they're speaking to rapturous applause at the conservative party conference in manchester. i think you may have managed to pick up that. it appears as though a brief moment
3:49 pm
though there was a brief moment of protest. somebody's being escorted out after a little bit of shouting. our political editor christopher hope has gone to check out exactly what happened he will report happened there. he will report back i'm going back shortly. i'm going to summarise back shortly. i'm going to summebraverman had say suella braverman had to say there. she said britain has there. she said that britain has been migrants, been generous to migrants, asylum seekers . she says that we asylum seekers. she says that we need stop asylum need to stop bogus asylum claims. she also said that labour worse. she labour will be much worse. she was at to say that she was at pains to say that she also very strong, saying also was very strong, saying that essentially that labour has essentially deliberately rigged the migration and the illegal migration system and the illegal migration system and the illegal migration system and the illegal migration system in order to allow people in. she said that the human rights act should be renamed criminal rights act, renamed the criminal rights act, that against that labour will vote against everything she everything they tried to do. she moved fonnard then from migration about justice. migration to talk about justice. she said that a just stop oil are funding the labour party and that they are backing them up and that actually under labour you get social justice, not strong justice. she spoke about the work that the conservatives have grooming have done to tackle grooming gangs fight islamist gangs and to fight islamist terrorism. at pains terrorism. she was at pains again to say that is the most prevalent form of extremism that we also said that
3:50 pm
we face. and she also said that registered sex offenders should not be allowed to change their name and gender. got quite name and gender. that got quite a of applause in the a lot of applause in the conference hall as well. she says that it's time to worry less about the human rights of sexual offenders like rapists and more about the human rights of the rest of us. and one last one for you as well. she was very strong saying that a lot of people have what she called luxury beliefs. she called them people have what she called lux1luxuryiefs. she called them people have what she called lux1luxury belief1e called them people have what she called lux1luxury belief brigade. them the luxury belief brigade. these are lofty are the people who have lofty ideas actually in ideas but aren't actually in impacted the real world impacted by the real world impacted by the real world impact of their ideology. such as open borders, etcetera. now, without further dither and delay, i am joined by the man himself. yes, that's right, matt vickers, mp, thank you very much. sitting there much. you've been sitting there throughout of that. throughout hours. all of that. let's start with immigration let's start with the immigration asylum first. she was asylum issue first. she was saying that the conservative party are strong borders and the labour party are no borders . is labour party are no borders. is she being a bit odd there ? not she being a bit odd there? not massive a strong borders at the minute. are you a few years ago we had this slogan of it and it was something are was it was something about are

important issue that people really about. and really care about. and i think lots people that lots of people feel that way, rightly again, rightly or wrongly. but again, there's from the outside, there's always from the outside, there's always from the outside, there's always from the outside, there's a kind of racial overtone that's added to it, which is not actually there in what she ever says. it's entirely that fairness entirely about that fairness issue. and if you live , you issue. and if you live, you know, if you rely on public services you are services in particular, you are impacted by the fact i'm a council leader. right. increasing amounts of our funding that is meant for vulnerable kids vulnerable vulnerable kids or vulnerable adults is spent on housing illegal migrants is spent on things that it's not there for. >> the one thing that you can't really get around is that this has on your watch, has happened on your watch, hasn't it? >> it's a particular covid >> well, it's a particular covid issue, so used issue, isn't it? so people used to the of lorries. to come in the back of lorries. nobody noticed. we nobody really noticed. we didn't. it and didn't. we looked at it and there tragedies that there were some tragedies that happened circumstances there were some tragedies that happeneit circumstances there were some tragedies that happeneit became circumstances there were some tragedies that happeneit became incrediblylces too. but it became incredibly visible lorries weren't visible when the lorries weren't coming people started to coming and people started to come small so it's come on small boats. so it's quite recent issue and one quite a recent issue and one that are trying really hard that we are trying really hard to it's pretty to tackle. i think it's pretty clear what suella says right clear what suella says is right that only party that we are the only party that's likely to be in government soon is government any time soon that is going tackle there going to tackle it. but there
4:12 pm
are clear barriers, are these clear barriers, particularly review, particularly judicial review, particularly international obugafions particularly international obligations really particularly international obligati(that really particularly international obligati(that suella really particularly international obligati(that suella is eally particularly international obligati(that suella is saying pleased that suella is saying now, you know, we want to renegotiate those things internationally, but actually we're not going for we're not going to wait for that. we to get on and do that. we need to get on and do what we need to do. >> right. did also >> okay. all right. she did also hit law and order. so hit on so law and order. so it wasn't just all about immigration. strong immigration. she was very strong on order. alluded to on law and order. she alluded to the of just stop oil being the idea of just stop oil being the idea of just stop oil being the kind of power behind labour's potential throne . she labour's potential throne. she said that the tory party have done a lot to tackle on grooming gangs they are focussed gangs and that they are focussed laser focus cracking laser like focus on cracking down biggest terror down on the biggest terror threat, which the islamist threat, which is the islamist extremism threat , she said. extremism threat, she said. thank you very much to all of the police and crime commissioners that were there, but there is a perception in this country at the moment that law and order has gone to the dogs. >> well, think we are getting >> well, i think we are getting back place we've back to a place where we've got more police officers. certainly in nottinghamshire i'm in nottinghamshire where i'm from, about the same from, we're back about the same level historically ever level as we historically ever have which is good. have been, which is good. i think neighbourhood think there's a neighbourhood element there's element to that. i think there's something about priorities and focus touching
4:13 pm
focus that suella is touching on there a lot about there and she talks a lot about people pulled off in people being pulled off in directions that shouldn't necessarily be priorities . and necessarily be priorities. and actually need focus actually we really need to focus that neighbourhood and that local policing crime that local policing on the crime that affects people, the burglary, the behaviour. the anti—social behaviour. and we've seen crackdown in recent months on things like the anti—social that anti—social behaviour that blights think blights communities. so i think they're to the right they're getting to the right place. government doesn't directly police directly always run the police and those priorities, so and set those priorities, so it's not always a straightfonnard thing her to straightfonnard thing for her to tackle. also , you tackle. but there's also, you know, complex know, it's increasingly complex crime, online, crime, increasingly online, increasingly side of increasingly that terror side of things see as the things we never see as the pubuc things we never see as the public because it's managed outside of sphere. outside of our sphere. >> about a lot of >> we don't hear about a lot of expensive and complicated things. of near things. a lot of the near misses. no, is misses. yeah no, that is absolutely . i'm just misses. yeah no, that is absolltoly . i'm just misses. yeah no, that is absollto go . i'm just misses. yeah no, that is absollto go now, . i'm just misses. yeah no, that is absollto go now, i . i'm just misses. yeah no, that is absollto go now, i thinki'm just misses. yeah no, that is absollto go now, i think t0| just misses. yeah no, that is absollto go now, i think to this: going to go now, i think to this images and the videos that we do have of. so this is a chap who was saying is andrew boff conservative am assembly member in london and he was kicked out of suella braverman's speech for heckling her supposedly over being transphobic. i think we can play this now .

4:16 pm
your ? your reaction? >> well, i disagree. i think it's of those issues it's one of those issues frustratingly that always frustratingly, that it is always seemingly . right. and seemingly so binary. right. and you raise concerns or you can't raise concerns or criticise without being accused of those kinds of things. i don't think that's fair or reflects what she said. i think there are a lot of people in this country who are really concerned kind concerned about this kind of creeping conversation, creeping gender conversation, whether in prisons and whether that is in prisons and the safe guarding stuff. we talked in talked about, whether it's in schools teach our schools and what we teach our kids. really kids. i think it's really important right that as important and it's right that as the of government, we the party of government, we tackle i've tackle important issues. i've got here the tory party. >> i said, any any comment on the protester ? they say he's not the protester? they say he's not coming back in. >> he's not coming back in. what's noting as what's worth noting there as well christopher hope well is that christopher hope got out with him the pi'ocoss. >> process. >> i disappear without my pass. i couldn't back in. i was i couldn't get back in. i was late for show. all for late for your show. all all for the viewers, patrick, we the gb news viewers, patrick, we will off. will let you off. >> will definitely let you >> we will definitely let you off. it tie in a little bit off. does it tie in a little bit with suella was with what suella braverman was also mention also saying? she did mention about gender ideology. she also said history being about gender ideology. she also said correctly history being about gender ideology. she also said correctly to history being about gender ideology. she also said correctly to children eing about gender ideology. she also said correctly to children ing taught correctly to children in schools. she said that several

institutions had been captured by a group of people who are the luxury belief brigade are of a certain ideology . is that true? certain ideology. is that true? have they been captured? >> i think so. i think it's a minority of places , but i think minority of places, but i think it is really important to tackle at its root and whether that is revisionist versions of british history or whether that is the gender conversation, you know, you see some really extreme examples where people do have some independence to teach and deliver things in the way that they actually we would they want, but actually we would want a government they want, but actually we would wan'as a government they want, but actually we would wan'as a a government they want, but actually we would wan'as a country, a government they want, but actually we would wan'as a country, a clear'nment they want, but actually we would wan'as a country, a clear setent they want, but actually we would wan'as a country, a clear set of: and as a country, a clear set of british and i think that british values and i think that needs been needs to be clearer. i've been one those. needs to be clearer. i've been onewhat ose. needs to be clearer. i've been onewhat are british values? >> what are british values? >> what are british values? >> it's a complicated >> well, it's a complicated thing, to explain thing, right, to explain and justify. what think on justify. but what i think on education need education is that you need to have set parameters have a clear set of parameters as to what it is we teach our kids. i've been working with miriam cates on the conversation about sexual education in schools and how that has crept and how ideology of different teachers has led to people being taught is not what's taught stuff that is not what's in the biology textbooks, shall we . and that shouldn't be

4:27 pm
>> and these people standing around here now, it's unbelievable. >> but look, she she used quite a lot of language there in terms of like i was saying, oh, labour want open borders, etcetera. i know you've addressed that. i know. she also know you've addressed that. i know on she also know you've addressed that. i know on to she also know you've addressed that. i know on to talk she also know you've addressed that. i know on to talk aboutshe also know you've addressed that. i know on to talk about thingso went on to talk about things like you know, like are, look, you know, these people beliefs. people have got luxury beliefs. the their the luxury belief brigade, their lives aren't touched. i think she's previously called them something along the lines of your people in your tofu eating people in islington or whatever. she mentioned ideology . she mentioned gender, ideology. she mentioned, being proud mentioned, you know, being proud of history. of british history. she mentioned that kind mentioned challenging that kind of groupthink amongst of left wing groupthink amongst our institutions. spoken our institutions. she's spoken there about the fact that, you know, doing the main know, we're doing the main threat country is threat to this country is islamist terrorism. do you think she was just saying all of the right phrases there without trying to mask that? there wasn't a huge amount of substance playing all the right notes, but not offering one single not one single point or promise in that speech to fix any of it. okay. well then my next question to you is this on the day that rishi sunak , the
4:28 pm
the day that rishi sunak, the prime minister, caught up with our political editor and did not rule out you rejoining the conservative party, you can hear about britain. you say that the thing that matters most to you is this country and the future of this country. well, why don't you join the conservative you then join the conservative party and try to lead it? >> well, after this speech ? i >> well, after this speech? i mean, are you having a laugh ? if mean, are you having a laugh? if i mean a party of high tax, a party of huge legal, let alone illegal, wouldn't you be able to change that? no no, no, no. this lot appear to be unchangeable. may be after they lose the next election and we get the real fight out between the one nation remainers and the leavers who want to become pro—business and low tax . maybe then we'll get low tax. maybe then we'll get some idea whether this mob are worth supporting right now. i wouldn't join them . i wouldn't wouldn't join them. i wouldn't even for them. even vote for them. >> and there's has it >> and there's actually has it been speech seriously that been that speech seriously that has crystallised putting has really crystallised putting you off? >> it proves their gutlessness. it weak they are. it it proves how weak they are. it

4:36 pm
>> i suppose, though, in terms of just being words, of it not just being words, but having substance having a bit more substance behind out and saying behind it coming out and saying we're get the we're going to get out of the echr we're to back echr, we're going to take back control borders. no more control of our borders. no more foreign dead foreign judges in the dead of night a darkened room night in a darkened room somewhere telling us what we can and do. would have and can't do. that would have been wasn't that been good. and there wasn't that in there? in there, was there? >> well, that may come next. so we're waiting for the ruling that's we're waiting for the ruling thethe supreme with the supreme on the supreme with the supreme court rwanda policy . court over the rwanda policy. see if that goes ahead, then that's complete game changer. that's a complete game changer. now, doesn't, then there now, if that doesn't, then there may be something else that we need but she need to do there. but what she also speech and i'm also said in that speech and i'm glad did, she glad she really did, she mentioned rights act. mentioned the human rights act. so when tony brought that so when tony blair brought that in piece of in in 1998, huge piece of legislation and we've been subject to it ever since. so even though we've gone into government, of course, we had five years in coalition the five years in coalition with the liberal they're not liberal democrats. they're not going scrap that act. then going to scrap that act. we then had the referendum. we've had brexit, we lost our majority. we've then had covid and other things to deal with and we've never really managed to take this piece of legislation to task. so i think domestically
4:37 pm
that may be something that comes in the future . in the future. >> okay. all look, she >> okay. all right. look, she also went about culture also went on about the culture wars and i do wonder whether this stuff gets enough attention, actually, because as as far as she's concerned, we have group who have a group of people who are the belief brigade. their the luxury belief brigade. their life not touched by a lot of life is not touched by a lot of theissues life is not touched by a lot of the issues that they tend to say that care about . so mass that they care about. so mass migration, gp migration, their gp appointments, because they all go or school places go private or school places because are at private because the kids are at private school. kind of school. we all know the kind of people braverman people suella braverman is talking also talking about there. she also mentioned about, you know, gender ideology, trans stuff, being ashamed of britain's being less ashamed of britain's history. and that crucially , our history. and that crucially, our institutions have been captured by people who have this ideology. do you recognise that? >> absolutely. and i've been in debates on that this week. i've been on panels about exactly the same we keep using same thing, and we keep using this culture war. now, i'd this term culture war. now, i'd say not a culture war at say it's not a culture war at all. know, women's all. you know, women's rights are a culture war. child are not a culture war. child safeguarding is not a culture war. are basic values. and war. these are basic values. and common that we common sense beliefs that we have in britain now. and they're
4:38 pm
being challenged by extreme groups who are trying groups of people who are trying to force this critical race theory or gender ideology onto us. and really, it's about pushing back there. and i'm glad that identified that. and that she's identified that. and she's been brave to say, she's been brave enough to say, actually, police , actually, even in the police, even whitehall, this is this even in whitehall, this is this is still going on, really. and you'll have seen speeches from steve today as well. steve barclay today as well. we're talking about the language that's used in nhs . this is that's used in the nhs. this is something that is going all the way society think way through society and i think a proper conservative party would and i'm would push back on that. and i'm glad it. glad we're doing it. >> look, earlier on i >> yeah, look, earlier on i actually out and about and actually went out and about and was people at this was speaking to people at this conference they made conference about what they made of doctors strike and the of the doctors strike and the consultants strike and the radiology strike that have been taking today . they just taking place today. they just out here. so we'll play that to you a lot of people you shortly. but a lot of people were saying that they feel as though you though that's political. do you think strikes aren't think these strikes aren't political you pay political or should you just pay them think they are. >> well, i think they are. and i think the independent pay review body set up, they've body that's been set up, they've offered that's than offered 9. that's more than nurses got. more nurses have got. that's more than have got. that's than teachers have got. that's more else has got .
4:39 pm
more than anybody else has got. and some people want 35, which i think just unreasonable . and think is just unreasonable. and we know doctors do a really great and they work very great job and they work very hard, but they've got to be hard, but they've also got to be fair. think of fair. and i think some of the things asking it's things they're asking for, it's not just i'm things they're asking for, it's notjust i'm married to notjust pay. i'm i'm married to a myself. she hasn't gone a doctor myself. she hasn't gone on strike. i'm very, very proud of hippocratic oath. of her. hippocratic oath. >> do you want more money, though? >> that well, you >> all of that and well, you know, i declare an interest. >> you should you >> should you pay? should you pay >> should you pay? should you pay your wife more ? pay your wife more? >> i'm she would be >> well, i'm sure she would be married to me. i think probably she's already won the lottery. >> you gone that >> oh, you gone down that route. you gone that you could have gone down that route. it, patrick. route. i can't say it, patrick. i'll away from your home i'll veer away from your home life. don't worry. and let's talk about okay? talk about hs2. okay? so you are, wall mp. are, of course, a red wall mp. i know that hs2 wasn't really going go directly to your know that hs2 wasn't really goingso go directly to your know that hs2 wasn't really goingso you directly to your know that hs2 wasn't really goingso you wouldn't: your know that hs2 wasn't really goingso you wouldn't have been area, so you wouldn't have been affected you affected by that. you could argue that area argue maybe that your area wouldn't the wouldn't have actually seen the direct benefits of hs2. but if what rumoured to happen, what is rumoured to happen, which potentially rishi sunak which is potentially rishi sunak stands up tomorrow and says something along the lines of we're going to use some of that money, gone to money, that would have gone to
4:40 pm
manchester, etcetera, and try to link up the north with the east, with the and do on with the midlands and do it on a regional suppose regional level. i suppose that would benefit wouldn't it? would benefit you, wouldn't it? >> think looked would benefit you, wouldn't it? >>it think looked would benefit you, wouldn't it? >>it and think looked would benefit you, wouldn't it? >>it and he think looked would benefit you, wouldn't it? >>it and he said 1ink looked would benefit you, wouldn't it? >>it and he said he's looked would benefit you, wouldn't it? >>it and he said he's concernedi at it and he said he's concerned about the cost and he speaks a lot making term lot about making these long term decisions , decisions and he thinks well, long term, isn't the long term, maybe this isn't the best . maybe we can best option. maybe we can deliver powerhouse rail deliver northern powerhouse rail in full without it. or maybe we can those local upgrades can look at those local upgrades . so, for example, where you've not electrified your track, i've got old trains going got rickety old trains going through my constituency where they actually want better local links now wouldn't had links. now we wouldn't have had the benefit from but the same benefit from hs2, but if reinvest that in our if we can reinvest that in our communities at a fraction of the price, think ben houchen said price, i think ben houchen said something about that as well. so there's that's actually there's a mayor that's actually on making on board with us making some changes then it could changes there. then it could actually us more. okay actually benefit us more. okay >> now nigel said very clearly, what's the big sell here? what's the big message for the conservatives? this is the last chance saloon before the next election in terms of a conference, what is the big sell ? >> we're actually portraying a conservative message again, and i think that's really important
4:41 pm
. so last couple of weeks you'll see our polling . we've it see our polling. we've got it down to 10% ish in some of them. now we're actually moving in the right so net zero is right direction. so net zero is one of these things. i've been quite sceptical about but quite sceptical about it, but we've actually bit of we've actually had a bit of common bit of common sense, a bit of pragmatism brought the pragmatism. so we brought the petrol diesel cars in line petrol and diesel cars in line with europe . we've with the rest of europe. we've looked boilers and so on. looked at boilers and so on. we're listening on we're listening to people on other pushing back on all other issues pushing back on all the stuff, looking at the the woke stuff, looking at the immigration people immigration issues that people are and is are talking about. and this is what people want to hear. >> christopher hope, our >> well, christopher hope, our political up with political editor, caught up with rishi little bit earlier rishi sunak a little bit earlier on, he did actually him on, and he did actually ask him about of about the net zero side of things . and rishi sunak appeared things. and rishi sunak appeared to suggest that there might end up being a series of votes in parliament whereby you would vote specifically on what kind of carbon emissions targets that you want to hit and also then about potentially wider net zero packages as a whole . now that's packages as a whole. now that's not a referendum, obviously, but it's as close clearly as we're going to get to it. i think it could be an interesting political move because
4:42 pm
presumably that would force the labour party to come out publicly and say , all right, publicly and say, all right, these are the carbon targets that we want. this is the year that we want. this is the year that we want your petrol or diesel car to be banned from them. and ultimately, if that if that does mean costing the poorest in society the most, i suppose it could put labour on the back foot . the back foot. >> exactly. and i think that's the test with labour at the moment. they've sat, sat on their hands really. they've said nothing. and whenever they put a policy out and whenever they actually scrutiny and actually have some scrutiny and as closer to general as you get closer to general election to get election, you're going to get that struggled . that they've really struggled. so immigration you so their immigration policy, you turned on that within a week. and again , net zero. put and again, net zero. okay, put your your mouth is. your money where your mouth is. vote vote against it. vote for it. vote against it. but what we have said is we're going stick to that 2050 going to stick to that 2050 target. we've actually had target. but we've actually had a bit common sense introduced bit of common sense introduced into probably into it. now we'll probably have more between now and more debates between now and 2050. new technology 2050. we'll have new technology , maybe we'll change some , maybe we'll maybe change some of the policies we're doing of the policies that we're doing as along that but as we go along on that path. but what actually done is what we've actually done is we've you know these
4:43 pm
we've said, you know what, these are the concerns you've got. we've people living we've got people living in the countryside worried countryside who are worried about spending grand rip in about spending 15 grand rip in their boilers, out and so on. and said, you we're and we've said, you know, we're not that. we're not going to do that. we're actually everybody actually going to take everybody with people a little with us. so even people a little bit sceptical, like me, bit more sceptical, like me, have said, actually can accept have said, actually i can accept that is reasonable. that this is reasonable. >> look, we can't ignore the fact was a heckler fact that there was a heckler and that heckler happened to be and that heckler happened to be a member . he a london assembly member. he accused home secretary of accused the home secretary of talking trash about transgender issues and making us was what he said about the conservative party. look transphobic. he accused her of dog whistle politics. look, i'm going to have a look at some of the things she's saying here. the luxury belief brigade islamist extremism. she mentioned she spoke about grooming gangs. she spoke about grooming gangs. she spoke about, you know , we need spoke about, you know, we need to standing up for the to start standing up for the rights our own people and not to start standing up for the righrightsnur own people and not to start standing up for the righrights of own people and not to start standing up for the righrights of and people and not to start standing up for the righrights of and rapists�* and not to start standing up for the righrights of and rapists and not the rights of and rapists and all that. was it a big dog whistle? why >> well, these all things >> well, these are all things that patrick. and that happened, patrick. and these are things have been these are things that have been identified, really. and if you look this is one
4:44 pm
look at that hall, this is one person there. now, i can do my arsene wenger impression. say i didn't see the incident or whatever . i saw her in whatever it was. i saw her in being taken out and i think obviously wanted to make a point there and there's opportunity there and there's an opportunity to enough to do that. we have enough panels can discuss panels where you can discuss it and it's to cause and sometimes it's to cause a bit a scene. but think if bit of a scene. but i think if you people, you know, you ask most people, you know, i'm going to the lgbt reception later , you know, we're a very, later, you know, we're a very, very inclusive party. we want to inject some common sense into this debate again. >> okay . all right, brendan, >> okay. all right, brendan, look, very it's look, thank you very much. it's great on the show. great to have you on the show. it's clarke—smith mp it's brendan clarke—smith mp there, conservative for bassetlaw. well, look, hey, you know the phrase life means life . well, the tories revealed . well, the tories have revealed that they want more murderers to be given whole life orders . but be given whole life orders. but i'm wondering, especially considering some of this might even come into force retrospectively on earth even come into force retrcisectively on earth even come into force retrcis goingly on earth even come into force retrcis going to on earth even come into force retrcis going to work on earth even come into force retrcis going to work .n earth even come into force retrcis going to work . and rth even come into force retrcis going to work . and to this is going to work. and to help me pick through that, i will be joined by everybody's favourite barrister . it is, favourite barrister. it is, of course, barrett patrick course, stephen barrett patrick christys on news, britain's
4:48 pm
sunday mornings from 930 on gb news as . welcome back . news as. welcome back. >> it's 448 you're watching or listening to me patrick christys on gb news at five i will get reaction to suella bravermans big conference speech. nigel farage was very unhappy with it. he made the point that she didn't mention echr once and didn't mention the echr once and thatis didn't mention the echr once and that is the issue on many people's lips here at conference. he said it was weak. he was poor. however, a he said it was poor. however, a procession conservative mps procession of conservative mps have the exact opposite. so procession of conservative mps havwill the exact opposite. so procession of conservative mps havwill continue act opposite. so we will continue that discussion. this is another
4:49 pm
discussion. but this is another big issue that went under—reports earlier on, justice secretary alex chalk has announced reforms to how whole life orders are applied now. it means that murderers who carry out sexually motivated attacks will automatically face a whole life sentence , even if they were life sentence, even if they were charged before the new law is introduced. justice secretary alex chalk says that for the most dangerous and depraved killers, life really should mean life . life. >> life now becomes the default . so it's what should happen unless , of course, the judge unless, of course, the judge decides there are exceptional circumstances. and we think that puts law in the right place, puts the law in the right place, that meets instincts of the that meets the instincts of the british people and, as i say, does justice and provides, you know, crumb comfort for know, a crumb of comfort for families after the most appalling crimes that they feel justice is truly being served . justice is truly being served. >> i'm joined now by barrister and writer stephen barrett. stephen thank you very much. i suspect that to a lot of people watching and listening to this, that will sound like good law. that like proper
4:50 pm
that will sound like proper justice. what's your view? is it even possible ? even possible? >> well, that's the important question because i, i would worry that the ainnaves will very soon be full of political lawyers or lawyers who give political opinions , each saying political opinions, each saying whether they like this or not. >> and i'm not going to say whether like this or not, i'm whether i like this or not, i'm going to that it's lawful going to say that it's lawful and what what the tension is, is there's a very old tension here. >> so neither you nor i would want an incoming government next year to pass a law saying that anybody who's been on the telly has committed a criminal offence and is going to prison for life. >> we wouldn't want that, would we? both be we? you know, we'd both be hoisted by our own petard. we'd be in prison for life. and there is a fundamental tenant of our law. >> it's a tenant. >> it's a tenant. >> it's a tenant. >> it's the word i use principle is that you don't create a historic effect. >> now, when we re—created europe after the second world war, we decided to give them a list of these tenants. >> and over time they've morphed into law and they've morphed
4:51 pm
into law and they've morphed into enforceable rules by the human rights act and by the human human courts. >> but we put this tenant that you shouldn't create a brand new offence people offence and punish people retrospectively by the way, the people wanted that because before that norman overlords before that the norman overlords had been so horrendous that they had been so horrendous that they had just inventing had just been inventing new things throwing you the things and throwing you in the oubliette whenever they felt like know, there was like it. so, you know, there was a a real need in sort a there was a real need in sort of english history to of english national history to have a principle. and of english national history to have we a principle. and of english national history to have we gave| principle. and of english national history to have we gave itwrinciple. and of english national history to have we gave itwrinthe 3. and of english national history to have we gave itwrinthe europeans then we gave it to the europeans . we gave it as article seven of the rights convention. but the human rights convention. but then because the creation of then because of the creation of a all come back to a court, it's all come back to us as law. now as law. and i want your listeners to understand that there's a difference between a tenant or a general principle and a law . a general principle and a law. a general principle and a law. a general principle and a law. a general principle is something that you enforce 99% of the time. a law is something you have to follow 100% of the time. >> now , that might sound that's. >> now, that might sound that's. >> now, that might sound that's. >> stephen that's that's an important thing. let me just cut across that's an across here because that's an important okay so what, important moment. okay so what, alex the justice
4:52 pm
alex chalk the justice secretary, was saying there, my understanding was that if understanding was, was that if somebody murders somebody in a sexually motivated attack , they sexually motivated attack, they would have to face a whole life tariff . is that right? well no, tariff. is that right? well no, he he he did explain that the judge will have some discretion and so what they're not doing is inventing a new crime of murder i >> but there is a bit of a tension in the human rights bit because when we translate it into all of these languages, we use the word penalty and that caused a massive court case that came about. it was actually this year that they fixed it where the judges did manage to work out actually this sort of out that actually this sort of stuff is perfectly legal. you're out that actually this sort of stufcreatingectly legal. you're out that actually this sort of stufcreatingecinewgal. you're out that actually this sort of stuf creating 5ci new offence 're out that actually this sort of stuf creating 5ci new offence , 'e not creating a new offence, you're just changing the punishment . you're just changing the punishment. and that's that too, is quite important because if you go into sort this this you go into sort of this this brittle, this absolute position of you can never have retrospective law , well for retrospective law, well for a start, that's difficult for taxation because in taxation because we do it in taxation because we do it in taxation quite often. taxation law quite often. secondly, and feelings change. >> so with historic sex offences in particular, you know, in the
4:53 pm
past we didn't take them very seriously. do you really want people punished to lesser standards? >> you know, and the and the other one, by the way, that's always good on historic sex offences is that we've invented this thing called the sex offenders register. >> we don't want we wouldn't >> now we don't want we wouldn't want to be in position where want to be in a position where anybody a crime anybody who committed a crime before that register was invented to go on it invented didn't have to go on it because we want them on the register now so that we can keep an them. so you don't an eye on them. so you don't have general that have this general principle that retrospective laws are banned . retrospective laws are banned. >> you have a sort of we've we've got it back through, through the cleverness of judges. >> we've got it to being >> we've got it back to being a sort of understandable or sort of an understandable or more situation . more tolerable situation. >> but but the problem and the expense of the court and expense of the court case and the period of confusion, that's because rather than just admitting, we've always had a general tenant of our law that you can't create a brand new offence. >> we reinvented the wheel with the human rights act and we reinvented, you know, just ability by submitting ourselves to strasbourg this time. >> luckily, strasbourg got it
4:54 pm
right . i >> luckily, strasbourg got it right. i mean, it's >> luckily, strasbourg got it right . i mean, it's always a bit right. i mean, it's always a bit like playing a of gun like playing with a load of gun whenever you with strasbourg. >> but what they're >> but but what they're proposing will be all right, stephen, thank you very much. >> always great to have your legal wisdom . stephen barrett legal wisdom. stephen barrett there, course, the barrister there, of course, the barrister and what the and writer reacting to what the justice secretary said right here gb little bit here on gb news a little bit earlier on about increasing whole life tariffs some of whole life tariffs for some of the depraved, violent whole life tariffs for some of the sexualepraved, violent whole life tariffs for some of the sexual criminals violent whole life tariffs for some of the sexual criminals in violent whole life tariffs for some of the sexual criminals in thislent and sexual criminals in this country . absolutely loads coming country. absolutely loads coming your way in the next hour, we're going to be hearing from the prime minister who's been talking about whether or not nigel farage could actually re—enter the conservative party . we're also going to be hearing from had to say about from what he's had to say about immigration. and we're going to be big be hearing about the big exclusive that christopher hope, our political editor, got from him, not we're our political editor, got from him, to not we're our political editor, got from him, to now not we're our political editor, got from him, to now see not we're our political editor, got from him, to now see parliamentary going to now see parliamentary discourse on net zero. and nigel farage has launched a scathing attack on suella braverman speech today at conservative party conference. he told me that it was the biggest failure of this conference so far and that she didn't offer one single promise to fix anything. i will

5:15 pm
suppose spin we're suppose the spin that we're going week, can going to hear next week, i can bnng bring in benjamin buttennorth now, who is a news now, who is a gb news contributor here at benjamin. the first thing i've got to ask you. okay is we did have an individual , you. okay is we did have an individual, a protester you. okay is we did have an individual , a protester there, individual, a protester there, a conservative member who was thrown out the initial issue that he was thrown out for was he basically he basically accused the home secretary of being transphobic. are of being transphobic. you are of course, member the lgbtq+ course, a member of the lgbtq+ community. do you think she's transphobic ? transphobic? >> yes , absolutely. and i think >> yes, absolutely. and i think what you saw today was suella scapegoating a group to try and excuse her obvious failings. >> you know, it's not transgender people who have been coming over the border in boats or transgender people that are coming over in numbers as immigrants, far greater than she says. >> but she obsesses over this tiny group of people all who have so little power in society and in institutions is because she thinks she can get people. >> she was saying, i do just want to clarify one thing. she
5:16 pm
wasn't talking about transgender people coming over in boats. she was talking about them in pnsons was talking about them in prisons as well, wasn't she? so whether or not me as a man could commit a violent sexual act and then go to a women's prison, that's what she wants to stop. right? exactly >> i mean, that's my point, right? she should be talking about coming over about people coming over in boats, people. about people coming over in boatwhen people. about people coming over in boatwhen talks people. about people coming over in boatwhen talks aboutyple. about people coming over in boatwhen talks about ,wle. about people coming over in boatwhen talks about, for and when she talks about, for example, single sex prison spaces or endorses the health secretary saying that trans women will be banned from single sex hospital beds , i think the sex hospital beds, i think the real question here is what does she mean by transgender? because legally there are people who have had their gender, their sex rather changed on their birth certificate . now, will she be certificate. now, will she be intending to undo that? and the equalities legislation in order to introduce this ? i think what to introduce this? i think what she's suggesting in terms of both prisons and the endorsement of the hospital decision is actually going to be very difficult to implement. and i think much like how she has implied, it's interesting .
5:17 pm
implied, it's interesting. >> no, but benjamin, that's that's interesting that benjamin that's interesting, that's really interesting, right. say right. because because you say it's going really it's going to be really difficult implement. it may difficult to implement. it may well difficult to implement well be difficult to implement because up being well be difficult to implement because by up being well be difficult to implement because by the up being well be difficult to implement because by the echr, up being well be difficult to implement because by the echr, up bei|is blocked by the echr, which is something that she didn't mention. nigel farage mention. i mean, nigel farage kicked that and kicked right off about that and i've tell you, walking i've got to tell you, walking around people i've got to tell you, walking arourout people i've got to tell you, walking arourout , people i've got to tell you, walking arourout , okay? people i've got to tell you, walking arourout , okay? there'szople i've got to tell you, walking arourout , okay? there's note want out, okay? there's not everyone who wants out, but the vast majority do want out. she didn't mention you didn't even mention it. you could not even could argue she's not even played to base. there played to her base. there >> mean, the truth is that the >> i mean, the truth is that the time it would take to leave the echr it would not only divide the parliamentary conservative party and they may well not have the numbers to get it through parliament. the parliament. that's the first reality. the second is that we're now increasingly looking at the chance of an election in may. a lot of the chatter is that they're trying to nosedive into earlier election into a slightly earlier election than and trying to whip than imagined and trying to whip up the frenzy around these issues. now there ain't a chance they could do that by may. and i think the truth is rishi sunak is the echr . and is against leaving the echr. and i think this plays into this idea that the tory party is
5:18 pm
bereft of ideas and tearing itself apart. that's what you see when you have people like andrew boff, the assembly andrew boff, the london assembly member who christopher hope managed the interview managed to get the interview with criticising after 50 years in party. i think it's out in the party. i think it's out ofideas. of ideas. >> okay. all right. look thank you very much, benjamin benjamin buttennorth there. just stay on the line for me a second in case i come back to you. gb news contributor hope is contributor christopher hope is still on stand still with me here on our stand here conservative party here at conservative party conference now, conference in manchester. now, earlier you interviewed earlier on, you interviewed rishi sunak, didn't you? and there killer lines there were some killer lines that came out of that. could you run it? because run us through it? because there's important there's some important updates here. right. here. i think that's right. >> took across a lot >> we took we went across a lot . >> we took we went across a lot , of areas in five , a lot of areas in our five minutes prime minister minutes with the prime minister he about the idea he talked there about the idea of i've been troubled of net zero. i've been troubled for while. there's never been for a while. there's never been a mps on net a single vote by mps on net zero. course, it was passed zero. of course, it was passed without parliament without a vote in parliament that hit this net that we're going to hit this net zero target back in june 19th, 2019, there will be 2019, he says there will be a vote on plans to roll back vote on his plans to roll back on some of the targets. they'll put bind. labour put labour into a bind. labour must this 20, 30 must either vote for this 20, 30 target or 2035 target for
5:19 pm
banning sales of new car, banning the sales of new car, new petrol diesel cars . so new petrol and diesel cars. so it's for the labor party it's a trap for the labor party coming up and that shows an increasing . increasing. >> that force the >> so that would force the labour into a position labour party into a position where of conceivably where at the time of conceivably were time of next were at the time of the next election , they they election, they must say they they could be battered with the stick of you wanted to make the worst off in society poorer by making them get heat pumps and electric cars. exactly >> that's right. that's why >> that's right. and that's why it's they're it's a bit clever what they're doing. shows degree doing. it shows a degree of being political, you being political, which you haven't from haven't seen before from the operation. said. i asked the operation. he said. i asked the 3—3 cabinet ministers at the weekend said that leaving the echr, the european convention of human table . echr, the european convention of human table. he human rights is on the table. he avoided and went avoided that question and went on small boat, saying on about the small boat, saying that we cut the number by 20. >> is a subtle >> now this is this is a subtle shift because we have the shift because we have seen the line leaving echr line about leaving the echr being very much on the table . being very much on the table. >> that was used by three ministers at the weekend. >> and then today not use it by at all, by her not used at all by suella braverman rishi by suella braverman or rishi sunak. >> person used that >> and was one person used that was mail >> and was one person used that wa sunday. mail >> and was one person used that wa sunday. michael mail >> and was one person used that wa sunday. michael gove mail >> and was one person used that wa sunday. michael gove usediail >> and was one person used that wa sunday. michael gove used itl on sunday. michael gove used it

5:26 pm
coming reasons to coming for economic reasons to europe. not? it's europe. why not? it's an attractive place to come. of course it i think rather course it is. but i think rather than language about than using language about extreme conditions, we extreme weather conditions, we should be looking at the why and deaung should be looking at the why and dealing why is that dealing with why it is that people therefore people are coming and therefore working as hard as we can to deal the problem of source. deal with the problem of source. >> you that maybe >> i put it to you that maybe you're this luxury you're part of this luxury belief brigade that was belief brigade that she was talkingtheir local hotel and about their local hotel and whether or not that's going to be turned to centre. be turned to asylum centre. they're you're talking they're taxpayer. you're talking about international issues, they're taxpayer. you're talking about irno,|ational issues, they're taxpayer. you're talking about irno, people issues, they're taxpayer. you're talking about irno, people wants, they're taxpayer. you're talking about irno, people want to know robert. no, people want to know what's on because because what's going on because because they're because people what's going on because because they'r(stupid. because people aren't stupid. >> their >> don't insult their intelligence that intelligence by saying that somehow just arrive at a somehow people just arrive at a hotel and it's not related to what's happening globally. of course think that course it is. and i think that what rise to what we need to do is rise to the level of events, talk about what we need to do is rise to the reasons events, talk about what we need to do is rise to the reasons forents, talk about what we need to do is rise to the reasons for this talk about what we need to do is rise to the reasons for this and about what we need to do is rise to the reasons for this and dealit the reasons for this and deal with them internationally at source. that's what responsible politicians should do. that's what to do when i was in what i try to do when i was in government, and it's certainly not a luxury. you know, i'm a very bitten former criminal very hard bitten former criminal barrister all sorts barrister dealing with all sorts of sorts of of people from all sorts of walks life. and i have hotels walks of life. and i have hotels in live this
5:27 pm
in my constituency. i live this . i know the reality. >> labour open borders . >> labour want open borders. >> labour want open borders. >> look, i don't rely on the >> oh look, i don't rely on the labour for anything. labour party for anything. i mean, every fairy mean, they talk every fairy stuff they they stuff about what they think they can about immigration. the can do about immigration. the truth their policies can do about immigration. the trutiup their policies can do about immigration. the trutiup and their policies can do about immigration. the trutiup and i their policies can do about immigration. the trutiup and i don'teir policies can do about immigration. the trutiup and i don't thinkicies can do about immigration. the trutiup and i don't think they add up and i don't think they can be trusted to be as firm and clear about the problem and the challenge of mass migration as the conservatives . the conservatives. >> i mean, to be fair, you are obviously relying quite on obviously relying quite a lot on them getting their act them not getting their act together based together over immigration based on braverman i'd on what sort braverman i'd say now move from now i'm going to move on from this now because i think it's worthwhile having the worthwhile really having the justice justice secretary worthwhile really having the justice well justice secretary worthwhile really having the justice well as stice secretary worthwhile really having the justice well as kate secretary worthwhile really having the justice well as kate coleman, here, as well as kate coleman, who you know, keeping who is, you know, keeping pnsons who is, you know, keeping prisons single sex. that's the group that you're from. and this was another of suella was another big aspect of suella braverman speech. she talks about gender, ideology , which i about gender, ideology, which i thought was really good, but also by the minister women also by the minister for women and equality. also by the minister for women and equality . she's kemi and equality. she's kemi badenoch praising the conservatives record on single sex prisons. i think we can have a listen to kemi now. was this conservative government that stopped shameful snp and labour politicians in scotland pursuing
5:28 pm
a self—id policy that let convicted rapists pretend that they were actually women so they could be housed in a women's pnson could be housed in a women's prison with potential new victims . victims. >> is kate, great to chat to you. >> thank you very much for coming on on the show. that must be music to your ears then. so we've kemi badenoch there we've got kemi badenoch there saying convicted rapists we've got kemi badenoch there saying menonvicted rapists we've got kemi badenoch there saying men should! rapists we've got kemi badenoch there saying men should notyists we've got kemi badenoch there saying men should not be; we've got kemi badenoch there saying men should not be going we've got kemi badenoch there sayi|women's should not be going we've got kemi badenoch there sayi|women's prison. not be going we've got kemi badenoch there sayi|women's prison. no bite going into women's prison. a bit of common well it is a bit common sense. well it is a bit of common really, isn't it? >> and in fact, the moj went further this at the further than this at the beginning of the year, actually, actually at the end of march, when it's any male prisoner who's been convicted of any violent or sexual offence , not violent or sexual offence, not just against women or any male prisoner who's got intact male genitalia is not eligible to be held in the female estate at all. >> and i think what's really significant about this is that it cuts across gender recognition, certificate status and the moj has really gone above and beyond and i think above and beyond and i think above all other departments in government to actually centre
5:29 pm
safeguarding , which is a real safeguarding, which is a real it's a real shift because up until now we've been very much focussed on rights, we've been very much focussed on individual rights of transgender prisoners. >> so what suella braverman said as well today , which is that as well today, which is that it's about time that we worry less about the rights of sexual offenders and more about the rights people . rights of ordinary people. absolutely. frankly, which i think an important thing. think is an important thing. what would say? playing what would you say? just playing devil's advocate to people who go it's it's a fraction of go, it's less it's a fraction of a percentage of people who who are in this practise, so why bother? >> well, why bother? >> well, why bother? >> because is women in prison are amongst one of the most vulnerable and marginalised populations in the country that you can have a single male prisoner in one women's prison who can quite successfully terrorise the entire population of that prison. >> and i know from the conversations i've had with both officers and prisoners that this happens. you know, you'll get a male prisoner who terrorised is
5:30 pm
a prison wing. he'll get transferred to another prison wing. he then terrorises that the population there are violent because of violence or because they're just simply men . they they're just simply men. they are just simply men. and we are deaung are just simply men. and we are dealing with a population of women. most of whom who have you know, they've experience violent and sexual offences against them, often since child hood. and they need a place of safety. and they need a place of safety. and to then gaslight them by holding them with a man and saying, no, no, no, no, this is a woman and you must refer to that prisoner as such , which is that prisoner as such, which is it's ridiculous. it's ridiculous . it's absolutely ridiculous. >> you know something similar issues going on in the schools at the moment. we haven't got time to go that. so, time to go into that. so, robert, very robert, look, you were very strong the strong that you thought the language of as a hurricane of mass legal migration, language of as a hurricane of masthought legal migration, language of as a hurricane of masthought iwas. migration, language of as a hurricane of masthought iwas toogration, language of as a hurricane of masthought iwas too strong. you thought that was too strong . the strength of . what about the strength of suella braverman saying it's time to worry less about the rise of sexual offenders, and rapists? more time to worry
5:31 pm
rapists? it's more time to worry about us. was dog whistle ? about us. was that dog whistle? >> when was in government, >> when i was in government, i made that sex offenders made sure that sex offenders committed offences of committed committed offences of more than four years, stayed in pnson more than four years, stayed in prison for longer. because i believe in public protection . believe in public protection. absolutely. no about that. absolutely. no doubt about that. and absolutely and i think i absolutely endorse what's just been said about the need protect prisoners need to protect women prisoners from predatory males who have intact genitalia. i mean , it's intact genitalia. i mean, it's as plain a pikestaff. and as plain as a pikestaff. and that's absolutely the right approach former approach by my former department. but, you know, look, coming the point, coming back to the point, it's all well to sound tough all very well to sound tough about immigration. it's what's it's what's important is being smart about immigration. now it's a tough, difficult issue. but i think with intelligent answers about the why, why people are coming to europe, i think then we can actually start to crack this. but we won't do this on our own. we've got to work with other countries. >> part not >> but what's part of that? not i mean, we've returned i mean, look, we've returned back immigration now, but was back to immigration now, but was part what suella part of that not what suella braverman was saying when she was un refugee was begging the un refugee council to say, look, come on, change the definition of refugee. >> i don't disagree with
5:32 pm
discussion. yeah, hold on. the un refugee convention, i think is a product of many countries and therefore you need to look at it internationally. i don't disagree with the fact it's now 70 years old and needs looking at, but it's a question also at, but it's a question of also being honest with the british people realistic about people and being realistic about the extent of what we can do. okay. there's still more to do . okay. there's still more to do. i think the government. but we've got to also be honest with the people , british people. the people, british people. >> the reason why cutting >> the reason why i'm cutting across, to rude. across, you is not to be rude. and sorry about this, and i am very sorry about this, but have got some breaking but i have got some breaking news bring which is that news to bring you, which is that suella said suella braverman has said that senior london tory andrew boff, who her who heckled her during her conservative speech , conservative conference speech, should be forgiven and let back into conference. >> right. >> right. >> well , that is interesting . >> well, that is interesting. you you all heart. oh, i totally agree with suella. >> i mean, i'm sure she would have been mortified. >> we've heard from you. you you let anyone in? >> no, hold on. i've been coming to conferences 30 years. >> i've only speech is part >> i've only free speech is part of we are. >> i've only free speech is part of andne are. >> i've only free speech is part of and ia are. >> i've only free speech is part of and i know suella agrees with >> and i know suella agrees with

make them come out and say, yeaiby 2030. the insinuation in this by 2030. the insinuation in there would be that the labour party would then the party party would then be the party that make some of the that voted to make some of the worst in society worst off in society poorer, with things like heat pumps and getting do you getting electric cars. do you think or not? >> think very important not? >> we nk very important not? >> we stick very important not? >> we stick to ery important not? >> we stick to theimportant not? >> we stick to the net)rtant not? >> we stick to the net zerot that we stick to the net zero target for 2050. >> and how we get there. >> yes, and how we get there. i appreciate we can have a discussion about if labour want to say that everything is stuck in stone now or between now and 2050, then they'd be mad to do that. >> so i think i think rishi's approach is perfectly sensible to the people bury north to the people of bury north carabao to the people of bury north car.doo to the people of bury north car.do you think? think there's >> do you think? i think there's certainly some people i think there who think there are other people who think there are other people who think there pragmatic there are other more pragmatic view the view in respect of it. and the one thing they do care about, patrick is they want patrick is they don't want ordinary people to be taxed into oblivion, to oblivion, and businesses are to be into oblivion, to reach be taxed into oblivion, to reach a target is long way a target which is a long way off. got very off. right? i've got a very quick bring you of rishi quick clip to bring you of rishi sunak about our sunak being asked about our political editor, christopher hope , about whether or not hope, about whether or not there's a place for nigel farage in the clip. oh, let's have a look. oh, unfortunately, we haven't got that clip, but there we go. sunak did say that

look at cutting it. we need to be honest about what foreign aid is. >> it's humanitarian >> it's not humanitarian spending save lives, >> it's not humanitarian spe ining save lives, >> it's not humanitarian spe in reality. save lives, >> it's not humanitarian spe in reality. what save lives, >> it's not humanitarian spe in reality. what it save lives, >> it's not humanitarian spe in reality. what it is, ve lives, >> it's not humanitarian spe in reality. what it is, is lives, not in reality. what it is, is a vast sum of money that goes towards often an absurd and at the very least, absurdly optimistic projects. let's just take a couple, for example. so in recent years, we've given about £12 million to a project to provide condoms in pakistan, a highly conservative religious society, which you're not to going change overnight with £12 million. another one, 1.6 million. >> that's a lot of condoms . >> that's a lot of condoms. yeah, that's true. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> £1.6 million for peace and reconciliation in sudan, a country which , following that country which, following that project into utter project descended into utter civil war. >> we need honest . >> so we need to be honest. >> so we need to be honest. >> i get point. is it >> i get that point. is it a waste of money? >> absolutely not. i mean, i support overseas aid for two reasons. >> first, it's the right thing to do. it could be we have a to do. it could be us. we have a duty as a relatively wealthy country those who country to look after those who can't help themselves. i can't help themselves. but i also because it's also support it because it's in our interest. our national interest. >> makes more to >> it makes far more sense to help people they are help people where they are rather than have them come to the with the the uk or have to deal with the consequences of a failed state.
5:53 pm
>> far effective to help >> far more effective to help people as they are rather than deal people as they are rather than deacan have a couple of >> can we have a couple of examples how somewhere where examples of how somewhere where it's really sure. it's worked really well? sure. well, at well, i think let's look at vaccines, example. vaccines, for example. >> world in >> the uk led the world in creating to covid. we creating a vaccine to covid. we shared that vaccine with countries in the developing world. we're now doing the same on malaria. so the british people be really, really people can be really, really proud that we've done much to proud that we've done so much to keep alive who keep people alive who may othennise from othennise have died from malaria. come that malaria. did that come out, that came aid then ? came out of foreign aid then? >> that we sent >> yeah, the fact that we sent some . some vaccines. >> yes. through the gavi vaccine alliance. >> i mean, all >> yeah. i mean, that's all right, certainly right, isn't it? certainly a good where foreign good example of where foreign aid spending has been used. >> as viewers >> well, but as your viewers will know and as british taxpayers not taxpayers will know, that's not the listen, ultimately , if >> and listen, ultimately, if you use british aid you want to use british aid money in way that actually money in a way that actually saves estimate saves lives, they estimate there's an organisation that estimates that the cheapest way to life is give $5,000 to save a life is to give $5,000 to save a life is to give $5,000 to fund malaria treatments. >> if we really wanted to save lives, it would be going exclusively to that essentially. >> this >> but because there's this nebulous for what we call nebulous desire for what we call soft power, but which nobody can ever and which
5:54 pm
ever really define and which nobody really measure, ever really define and which nolend really measure, ever really define and which nolend up really measure, ever really define and which nolend up pumpinglly measure, ever really define and which nolend up pumping moneysure, ever really define and which nolend up pumping money into we end up pumping money into projects that at best fail and at worst are just frankly absurd right from the off. >> yeah, i mean, there is a perception , isn't there, that perception, isn't there, that quite a lot of british taxpayer money does way into the money does find its way into the back pockets dictators back pockets of grubby dictators or completely pointless girl bands like the ethiopian spice girls yagna, which is one of the infamous cases the daily mail wheels out every now and again. so stuff happen, so that stuff does happen, doesn't but i think doesn't it? it does, but i think we be cautious to not we need to be cautious to not throw out with the bath water. >> if you abolish the mod every time there was a procurement scandal , there'd be no army scandal, there'd be no army left. example , most is left. for example, most aid is really well spent it's well really well spent and it's well spent are right spent because here we are right now parliament now scrutinising it, parliament scrutinising it. the daily mail scrutinises it as do . scrutinises it as you do. >> yeah. yeah. no, exactly. we are we are middle of a are we are in the middle of a cost of living crisis at the moment. the highest. moment. tax is the highest. it's ever since ever been, i think since the second anyway. it second world war anyway. is it now harder to justify spending somewhere in the region of £11 billion a year on foreign projects , some of which i think projects, some of which i think i believe right in saying
5:55 pm
i believe i'm right in saying some of which goes to china. >> since been >> i think that has since been wrapped up. >> you're absolutely right . >> you're absolutely right. >> you're absolutely right. >> gone to china in the >> it has gone to china in the past. >> still fin- past. >> still to india. >> it's still going to india. >> it's still going to india. >> think problem >> and i think the problem is, listen, at listen, we're not very good at spending money, even domestically. is very, domestically. whitehall is very, very bad at spending money, even domestically. that domestically. so the idea that it's going be at it's going to be better at spending money abroad at precisely places where precisely the places where british actually british taxpayers won't actually directly experience it, i think is for the birds. >> they are justify. then, >> they are to justify. then, you people in you know, you've got people in this moment who you know, you've got people in thisthinking moment who you know, you've got people in thisthinking , moment who you know, you've got people in thisthinking , i've moment who you know, you've got people in thisthinking , i've momehaveio are thinking, i've got to have to new electric car . at to buy a new electric car. at some point. i'm going to have to get pump. been told some point. i'm going to have to ge do pump. been told some point. i'm going to have to ge do ofyump. been told some point. i'm going to have to ge do of this.. been told some point. i'm going to have to ge do of this. you been told some point. i'm going to have to ge do of this. you know, told some point. i'm going to have to ge do of this. you know, the to do all of this. you know, the cost weekly shop is going cost of my weekly shop is going through you through the roof. but, you know, but assured, there's but rest assured, there's a family got family in nigeria who've got a few more goats. >> look, the point i would >> well, look, the point i would make we do overseas make is if we don't do overseas aid, the problems that will affect anyway. affect us will happen anyway. it's worse. it's just that they'll be worse. take, example, jim mattis, take, for example, jim mattis, who trump as who served donald trump as defence heart by bleeding heart liberal by any means. the means. he said to congress, the less spend on aid, the more less you spend on aid, the more ihave less you spend on aid, the more i have spend on bullets. i have to spend on bullets. better deal with now better to deal with problems now than consequences aftennards. >> way to finish the aftennards. >> chaps. ay to finish the
