for many years, a big double page spread . finally, page spread. finally, a glittering speech by starmer. well, of course the play on words and a bit of fun on glitter, but into trusting to see that the murdoch press at the end of this conference season are very much hedging their bets. no longer unequivocally backing the conservatives , the murdoch press conservatives, the murdoch press getting ready to back and support a labour government in office. it's what they do. they like tobacco winner. so i guess the question is, is he a prime minister in waiting? the question is, is he a prime minister in waiting ? well, i minister in waiting? well, i have to say for me he's pretty blooming dull. not the sort of feller you go for a night out with, but he's safe and he's playing safe because he isn't really saying very much from what i can make of it. but the most important thing for sir keir starmer is that he isn't scary . he keir starmer is that he isn't scary. he isn't keir starmer is that he isn't scary . he isn't scary keir starmer is that he isn't scary. he isn't scary in a way that for many people in this country, jeremy corbyn was so to me. is he a pm in waiting? yes. i really think he is. what do you think at home? give me your

views, please. farage at gbnews.com well, i'm joined by gbnews.com well, i'm joined by gb news political editor christopher hope and stephen pound , former labour member of pound, former labour member of parliament. now, chris hope, you interviewed sir keir starmer today in liverpool on the end of his party conference. >> it's fascinating. he was six minutes, not long. i tried to answer those questions which the daily mail actually raised. i wasn't aware of that headline before before did this. before i before i did this. i believe you probably wasn't aware of it about taxation and immigration. on taxation, he said. interesting. i said , where said. interesting. i said, where where you going on where are you going on tax? because is saying because the tory party is saying we do anything tax cuts we can't do anything in tax cuts to inflation down. he to bring inflation down. he talked about bringing eventually under me, under some questioning for me, going to cut tax for working people so think that's people. so i think that's interesting isn't it, to have a labour leader saying that to almost back the tories into saying else on tax. saying something else on tax. that's debate that's the beginning of a debate going year. but i thought that's the beginning of a debate goininteresting�*. but i thought that's the beginning of a debate goininteresting question ought one interesting question that you , nigel, you would have liked, nigel, was when about when i asked him about the european and whether european union and whether really thought the uk might really he thought the uk might go back into the eu if he

becomes prime minister. here's what i have to the eu to what i have to say on the eu to try and get more closely try and get the uk more closely augned try and get the uk more closely aligned eu. would you aligned to the eu. would you even and the result even try and reverse the result in back into the eu ? >> we will not try to reverse the result, but we do not intend to the eu and for to go back into the eu and for that matter, or for that matter, into the single market or the customs union. that doesn't mean i think we can improve on i don't think we can improve on the deal we've got . and i the deal that we've got. and i think you at think whether you look at security , whether look at security, whether you look at arts and innovation or trade , arts and innovation or trade, almost everybody thinks there's room for improvement. we saw that to an extent in the protocol that the prime minister renegotiated and renegotiated earlier this year. but we're not arguing we're not making the case. there is no intention to return to the eu. okay. listen closely. >> we don't intend to go back into the eu. there's no intention to go back into the eu. now, you were a politician and you are a brilliant superstar panel of presenter here. you what these words here. you know what these words mean. stephen pound can no more intention not saying intention intend is not saying no. that's fascinating. he of

course, said in 2018 there should be a second referendum and on the ballot paper and on the on the ballot paper should reverse sing the what should be reverse sing the what do you of that reform? what do you make of that reform? what do you make of that reform? what do you make of that reform? what do you make of that? >> i to number of >> i have to say a number of things. all, it's things. first of all, it's remarkable that the interview things. first of all, it's remaplacee that the interview things. first of all, it's remaplace at|at the interview things. first of all, it's remaplace at all. he interview things. first of all, it's remaplace at all. well,erview things. first of all, it's remaplace at all. well, when took place at all. well, when you think. no, no, it's an excellent fair excellent interview and fair play excellent interview and fair play but when you think play to you. but when you think there's lot people very there's a lot of people very sniffy, they've got sniffy, you know, they've got their the air when their noses up in the air when it gb and when it comes to gb news and when you've potentially the you've got potentially the next prime this country prime minister of this country giving decent interview giving a decent interview and i have say, was probed by have to say, he was probed by you indeed. you very well indeed. and i think of questions that think one of the questions that you asked, which he was looked a little bit awkward was little bit awkward about, was why like being called why don't you like being called sir well, sir keir starmer well, yeah, i think that's fair play. think that's no, no fair play. chopper mr chopper, chopper sorry. mr hope chopper, but actually but i mean, i think he actually went the full farage basically on, on, europe. but i have on, on, on on europe. but i have to just thing. to say, just just one thing. just reassure you, gentlemen, just to reassure you, gentlemen, anyone the anyone who doubts that the labour fully labour party hasn't fully embraced of embraced the principles of capitalist am be aware capitalist am should be aware that half an hour the that within half an hour of the glitter incident , the that within half an hour of the glitter incident, the labour party stalls were actually advertised . shirts sparkle advertised. t shirts sparkle with starmer glitter. were they

entrepreneurial? yeah aren't we just. >> well , you just. >> well, you on just. >> well , you on the just. >> well, you on the migration stuff, chris yes, exactly. i mean there was so little in his speech on this very important trade at all, barely raised for the red wall. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> which he needs to win back pretty near the top of their agenda polls very highly and just that small boats. just blow that is small boats. >> that's why talk the >> that's why we talk about the nhs boats on our nhs on small boats on our channel know it channel because we know it matters people. wasn't matters to people. why wasn't it a raise? him that very a raise? i asked him that very question in the interview. i said, you know, is said, you know, the fact is 600,000 net 600,000 people arrived here net legally legally. not legally, legally, legally. not not, boats legally. not, not small boats legally. is that what's your that a worry? what's your number? ten of thousands. here's what have say. what i have to say. >> yeah, of course we're concerned about it. i think anybody concerned anybody would be concerned by a government often control government that's often control of the borders that has to be addressed. and that's why we set out in terms that we have to smash the criminal gangs that are this vile trade . go are running this vile trade. go back days as director of back to my days as director of pubuc back to my days as director of public prosecution. i did join operation lion's to smash terrorist gangs. i am convinced we can smash the gangs that are

running this file . running this file. >> illegal immigration. what level are you happy with ? of the level are you happy with? of the net number, 600,000 arrived in the 12 months to june last year. well, not going to pluck well, i'm not going to pluck a number out of the sky. >> the tories do every well. they do, and then they it they do, and then they miss it over again. and we've over and over again. and we've ended a situation where ended up with a situation where the than it's the number is higher than it's ever but is ever been. but this is symptomatic, i think, of the last 13 years. one of the challenges that we laid down for the tell us the tories yesterday is tell us what record is, because if what your record is, because if you've a record after 13 you've got a record after 13 years, you should be telling the country so that's country what it is. so that's why control tested them with why i control tested them with our project , why i control tested them with our project, which is actually that's not just fix the country. let's go on this journey of national i can't national renewal. and i can't stress it enough. it's a national journey. it is cross party. you know those that have lost faith in the party, they are voting for are welcome to join us in this national project i >> well, by the end of if you've got what the question was about . but but the point was that, you know, what is your number and i think as we go into the

election campaign next year, that will be one of the key questions. on questions. one, on tax, one on what what are you what is your what level are you happy about on that migration and even small boats, sir and not even small boats, sir nigel as you nigel and this idea that, as you know, former he was know, the former dpp, he was able these criminal gangs. >> well, i hadn't noticed the drugs trade stopping in this country of the dpp. country as a result of the dpp. i mean you actually think, i mean, do you actually think, stephen he can stephen pound, that he can reduce dinghies reduce those little dinghies coming across the dover? well, i worked with him in northern ireland, and have say he ireland, and i have to say he was impressive, very , very impressive. >> as the prosecutor in >> as the public prosecutor in northern which is northern ireland, which is probably hardest probably one of the hardest roads you imagine. roads to hoe you can imagine. and to it. and and he managed to do it. and i think a few months was think within a few months he was being detested both sides, being detested by both sides, which he doing which meant that he was doing a pretty know, but pretty good job. you know, but look, what keir starmer look, i think what keir starmer is it's important is is saying it's important is let's not mess about with pie in the rwanda. the sky. nonsense like rwanda. i think it think that's for the birds. it ain't going happen. we all ain't going to happen. we all know it ain't going well. it might the israelis might happen. the israelis tried it. they've it. do you remember? they've sent people. how long did sent 4000 people. how long did that real that last? look, the real problem the sausage machine. problem is the sausage machine. you've actually to the you've got to actually go to the input what we have the input stage. what we have at the moment country is an

moment in this country is an utterly incompetent utterly sclerotic, incompetent home office that takes years and years determine cases. and years to determine cases. and what you to this what happens is you come to this country no rights country with no rights whatsoever asylum. your country with no rights whatsdown asylum. your country with no rights whatsdown forasylum. your country with no rights whatsdown for 2 ylum. your country with no rights whatsdown for 2 or|m. your country with no rights whatsdown for 2 or 3|. your country with no rights whatsdown for 2 or 3 years, your head down for 2 or 3 years, marry, have child, settle marry, have a child, settle yourself down, and then you have a called the a thing called the regularisation of overstayers. and you've and suddenly, you know, you've got there and suddenly, you know, you've got you've there and suddenly, you know, you've got you've been there and suddenly, you know, you've got you've been for1ere and suddenly, you know, you've got you've been for here 2 because you've been for here 2 or 3 years i don't want to or 3 years now. i don't want to sort put the as a great sort of put the dutch as a great exemplars of this, but what they do in holland, in the netherlands, don't get netherlands, is they don't get past airport. get past schiphol airport. they get determined and determined there. and then and if they get sent back to suriname they sent back suriname or they get sent back to indies, so if they suriname or they get sent back to do indies, so if they suriname or they get sent back to do it, indies, so if they suriname or they get sent back to do it, stephen so if they suriname or they get sent back to do it, stephen powell, ey suriname or they get sent back to do it, stephen powell, why can do it, stephen powell, why can't we do it? >> well, you tell me. >> well, you tell me. >> i think don't forget, the netherlands crowded than netherlands is more crowded than this what the this country. and what they the one suppose, one difference, i suppose, nigel, to be remotely fair. nigel, is to be remotely fair. just is the just for a second, is that the majority of immigrants majority of their immigrants actually which actually come by plane, which makes yeah, makes life easier. yeah, it makes life easier. >> actually the people >> although actually the people that cross the channel come in through so through dover go to manston. so it's different , but it's not very different, but they should be determined. >> there. then look, would >> there. and then look, i would defend. >> there. and then look, i would def do . confidence that >> do you have confidence that fine, take point. a fine, i take the point. it's a very good point. do do you have

confidence that labour have got the stomach to deal with this? >> absolutely right. we have absolutely. realise this is absolutely. we realise this is a visceral issue with the country. i mean, it's mostly your fault. i mean, it's mostly your fault. i add. i hasten to add. >> a lot of what done is to >> a lot of what i've done is to educate and inform. >> yeah, i know. but you also shone light on you also shone a light on and you also made they made people think that they could about it. and could do something about it. and before just said, oh, before people just said, oh, there's about there's nothing we can do about it, just just the it, it's just it's just like the weather. going happen. weather. it's going to happen. you started you actually started asking those questions and they were awkward and uncomfortable questions. as serving questions. and as a serving as an elected politician at the time, wish go away. time, i wish you'd go away. yeah, but you those yeah, but you asked those questions, there's questions, so there's no way that pass the that we're going to pass the buck . buck now. >> very bullish on >> stephen, i'm very bullish on that and finally, chris, hope, you know, was this a more confident starmer that we saw over the last 48 hours? >> i thought so . he's buttoned >> i thought so. he's buttoned up. quite stiff. i think, up. he's quite stiff. i think, to be fair to him. you know , to be fair to him. you know, journalists aren't we're not naturally relaxing with people, but, you know, privately he's on on good form. i think you know, he can see that power is around

the corner if they don't mess it up. but things happen. i mean, don't forget, in september 2021, the tories were briefing around bofis the tories were briefing around boris johnson three terms of johnson.i boris johnson three terms of johnson. i rememberi remember johnson. i remember i remember all way through 2020, 20 all the way through 2020, 20 owen paterson happened in october . november was partygate october. november was partygate he'd gone following july. he'd gone by the following july. well, happen. well, that can happen. >> a bit of hubris there >> it was a bit of hubris there with the conservatives that with the conservatives at that moment. this and moment. i look at this party and i they defining i think they are defining themselves they're not. themselves by what they're not. >> they're saying we are not, we are tories. the risk are not the tories. and the risk is that in 2017, when theresa may battle against may went to battle against jeremy corbyn by being not jeremy corbyn by being not jeremy work. he jeremy corbyn didn't work. he even speech that we even said in his speech that we want , stable government even said in his speech that we wawords , stable government even said in his speech that we wawords to , stable government even said in his speech that we wawords to that|ble government even said in his speech that we wawords to that effect. vernment even said in his speech that we wawords to that effect. exactly it or words to that effect. exactly what you know, the what theresa may you know, the ming theory, you? ming vase theory, don't you? running around with this famous comet moment, you know, comet at the moment, you know, keir is a man keir starmer is like a man carrying across carrying a ming vase across a highly polished floor. >> he simply doesn't >> above all, he simply doesn't want to. >> want to toe into >> they want to tip toe into office, not charge it, but just look bridget look at the stuff that bridget phillipson education. >> look at what wes streeting are saying about the this are saying about the nhs. this is secretary of is a labour shadow secretary of state utter reform is a labour shadow secretary of st.the utter reform is a labour shadow secretary of st.the we're utter reform is a labour shadow secretary of st.the we're talking'eform is a labour shadow secretary of st.the we're talking about of the nhs. we're talking about new technical colleges and we're

80 seat majority . 80 seat majority. >> that's my fox. i asked the pm last week whether you can rejoin the party, and he said, we're a broad church. i'm going to do the job for you. nigel farage it's a broad church full of knaves, but i'm not entirely sure nigel tory. sure that nigel joins a tory. >> think the tory could >> i think the tory party could be well, never know. >> stephen pound, christopher hope, thank very much, hope, thank you very much, mr farage. a bit of respect. farage. i'm a bit of respect. very, very indeed . the king very, very good indeed. the king speaks on the situation in speaks out on the situation in israel. i wonder, is it the right thing for the king to have done?it right thing for the king to have done? it is in many ways a political thing to do. i'm pleased that he has. but there'll a lot of debate there'll be a lot of debate around and we'll go to around that and we'll go live to tel join peters tel aviv to join charlie peters to get latest. as we to get the latest. as we understand, that hezbollah understand, and that hezbollah are northern are now attacking northern israel. drones

radio. >> well, i asked you, is keir starmer a pm in waiting? lots of opinions coming in. david via email says i wouldn't trust keir

starmer to run a bath, never mind the country. no, but that wasn't really the question. david pat via email, says as a floating voter who enthusiastically voted for blair, i will not make the same mistake again. i look at the shadow cabinet and despair. sadly none of the other parties produce a better response. interesting, pat, isn't it that one of the people floating around that conference and clearly back with real influence is lord peter mandelson? and finally, dave says via twitter looks and sounds like one and at least has a vision of building and growth. unlike the false promises and pure fantasy of the tories. sunak's net worth north. now, now an illustration, not a plan at all to the conflict in israel and gaza. i was surprised , actually. i really was surprised that we've seen statements coming out. you know, today from the king, the prince and princess of wales and everybody is really, really condemning the killings and the

barbarism that has took place. and the british royal family making their position on this. absolutely clear. let us go live now to tel aviv to join gb news reporter charlie peters . reporter charlie peters. charlie, good evening . we're charlie, good evening. we're heanng charlie, good evening. we're hearing reports of his bulla now sending drones into northern israel . and we even had the israel. and we even had the foreign secretary james cleverly having to run for cover earlier on today. can you please give us an update on where we are on day five of this . war five of this. war >> sure. just in the last moments , the idf has said that moments, the idf has said that actually the reports in the north were a false alert. as you can imagine, the country is on very high alert. is real, it appears is not broken , but it is appears is not broken, but it is creaking and it is bruised. there is a very high sense of fear in tel aviv where we are . fear in tel aviv where we are. people are nervous. they are on

edge. and there are concerns whenever reports come in that they will be acted on with the utmost severity. just an hour and a half ago, we were in a rocket shelter in central tel aviv away from our base location. we're about to go live on gb news with patrick christys and we were sent straight down and we were sent straight down and many other parts of central israel where we are have faced similar circumstances today. and when you see the news from the rest of the country, it's pretty clear why that sensitivity is there. just two hours ago, the idf said that it was killing more palestinian hamas terrorists, sorry, in the south of the country, many hamas terrorists have stayed within the south of israel since that remarkable invasion on saturday morning, coming in through paragliders, destroying a target acquisition , drones on the acquisition, drones on the border and breaking through that fencing. so the north, the conflict is still going on there. there are sporadic shelling, especially also from syria and from southern lebanon. but it is not the level of

escalation as was feared just 90 minutes ago, with reports of drones and men crossing over the border. now now, the idf says that was just a false alert. >> and over 2000 people dead and that number clearly rising quite rapidly . of course, the abraham rapidly. of course, the abraham cords, these things negotiated by jared kushner on behalf of donald trump. now under serious threat. the relationship with saudi arabia , which was getting saudi arabia, which was getting closer under direct threat . closer under direct threat. charlie, there are many in the international community urge urging restraint on israel, which seems ironic given what they've been subjected to . is they've been subjected to. is your feeling that a full on ground invasion of gaza is going to happen in the next couple of days ? i i think it is days? i i think it is a realistic possibility that it will happen in the next 48 hours. >> and it is definitely likely in the next 72 to 96 hours. they

are building in that direction. it's clear that the israeli defence forces, its commanders , defence forces, its commanders, is saying that they have a mission in mind when they are gathering regular and reserve forces on the south of the country, near the border with gaza. they have ginormous convoys of armour heading down the amounts of military hardware being sent towards that area really is remarkable . all and so really is remarkable. all and so the diplomatic efforts we've seen this morning, the urges for restraint , that's really seen this morning, the urges for restraint, that's really going to be, i think, quite indicative of shaping that ground invasion, the first since 2014. i think israel wants to see that access towards egypt through the rafah crossing for civilians not augned crossing for civilians not aligned with the hamas terrorists to exit before it commences. what will almost certainly be a devastating ground invasion . ground invasion. >> yeah, it's coming. i have no doubt. charlie peters, thank you. and stay safe. and let's have a quick look at the foreign secretary james cleverly in israel earlier on today . he was

israel earlier on today. he was on a so you can see you know, there he is, he's out. and suddenly the rockets are on their way and everyone runs for their way and everyone runs for the shelters . and this is the the shelters. and this is the kind of jittery nervousness, understandable nervousness that charlie peters was just talking about. charlie peters was just talking about . now, i talked last night about. now, i talked last night about. now, i talked last night about suella braverman, the home secretary and she's saying to the police , look, you know, you the police, look, you know, you really have got to stand up against those that are out there glorifying hamas . a couple of glorifying hamas. a couple of things she said yesterday . one, things she said yesterday. one, i did quote last night, i'll do it again. when you see chants such as from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. what that chant means is, is the obliteration of israel as a country , but more interestingly country, but more interestingly and very difficult, i think, for the police is the idea where she says behaviours that are legitimate in some circumstances . for example, the waving of a

palestinian flag may not be legitimate. such as when intended to glorify acts of terrorism . well, i'm joined by terrorism. well, i'm joined by michael phillips from andrew stork, solicitors who joins me down the line from coventry. michael, this whole business of whether they're waving a palestinian flag is actually coming out and supporting the atrocities caused by hamas . does atrocities caused by hamas. does this not put the police , despite this not put the police, despite the pressure they they're coming under from the home secretary doesn't it put them in a devil of a situation ? of a situation? >> i think it puts them in a very difficult situation. i spend probably the last ten years or so representing people very often with very controversial opinions out in the streets , street preachers, the streets, street preachers, pro—abortion , pro—life pro—abortion, pro—life protesters . and very often they protesters. and very often they will get arrested by the police for section four or section five of the public order act. and what sometimes determines whether they get arrested or

not, and sometimes whether they get prosecuted is really the feeling of the other people on the street. and if people are not bothered, then nothing happens. however if on the other hand, people are upset by what happens, they get prosecuted. but we is this, is but what we find is this, is that in the end, usually in fact, not usually, in fact, 100% of the time they are acquitted of the time they are acquitted of these offences because the fact is this is that we do have freedom of speech in this country must be country and that must be respected. we country and that must be resplooki. we country and that must be resplook at we country and that must be resplook at these we country and that must be resplook at these protesters, ne country and that must be resplook at these protesters, we can look at these protesters, we can look at these protesters, we can look at these protesters, we can look at the flag wavers and we say we're appalled by this. we morality . i we don't like their morality. i don't it's probably the don't think it's probably the best thing for country to best thing for this country to do something like germany or austria, it illegal, feel austria, make it illegal, feel like they have in those countries denial. countries for holocaust denial. it's an awful thing. it's a morally reprehensible thing. but doesn't make it a crime. and i would say we will face similar problems if you start waving a flag , palestinian flag, and flag, palestinian flag, and saying, well , that's a crime saying, well, that's a crime now, because what's good for the goose is good for the gander. and it could equally be applied to people waving other

flags. >> so, yeah, it's difficult. but l, >> so, yeah, it's difficult. but i, video last night i, i showed a video last night of, somebody in kensington of, of somebody in kensington high street the finger. now high street with the finger. now you know, you could say, well , you know, you could say, well, thatis you know, you could say, well, that is somebody you know using or we're just showing our viewers that picture now you could say that is somebody using a symbol that was originally designed to be an an islamic symbol saying there's one god, but now it's been appropriate and used quite extensive by isis. and yet, michael, probably if that goes to court, be very hard to convict, wouldn't it? >> it would be very hard to convict. and indeed, there are. well, there is now a case which is which went up to the supreme court. the case of ziegler, whereby there were some protesters which blocked the road in excel centre and the road in the excel centre and the supreme said in certain supreme court said in certain circumstances you can actually break and specific break the law and say specific defence to raise human rights grounds. so your article nine rights, your article ten rights, the right to freedom of expression. and that is the expression. and so that is the case has been relied upon case which has been relied upon by these people. so for

by lots of these people. so for example, insulate britain and extinction rebellion and they say, look, we are exercising our article ten and so article ten rights and so therefore have a defence. and therefore we have a defence. and so it is very unlikely that there will be a conviction as a result of any action like that . result of any action like that. >> yeah, i think you're right. michael phillips, thank you for joining me live on gb news. very difficult situation for the police. and one thing i must comment on is black lives matter. yes, black lives matter uk have put out a statement today saying solidarity with those resisting israeli war crimes and military occupation. we say free palestine and support the practical solidarity of palestine. action that is black lives matter folks . do you black lives matter folks. do you remember the organisation that in 2020 were held up to be the saviours of civilisation? the campaign for racial equality and were backed by all sorts of big banks start bucks and many other corporate organisations. and i

was one of the few voices back in 2020 saying no, these are very bad , divisive, dangerous very bad, divisive, dangerous marxist people. well, once again they prove it in a moment as robert kennedy jr announces he'll be running for us president as an independent, we ask the question who does it hurt most? biden or trump

radio. >> a lot happening in america as a kennedy decides to run as an independent to become president of the usa and the us republicans are trying to pick a new speaker. well, i'm joined by bnan new speaker. well, i'm joined by brian kennedy, senior fellow board member of the claremont institute. brian, good evening . institute. brian, good evening. kennedy i see even his own family have condemned him because he's running now. i was out with a pollster last night. he's done a bit of work on this

and his thought was that the effect of kennedy was in some ways quite neutral because he's very liberal on some issues which would appeal to democrats and perhaps put off some republicans . but his stance on republicans. but his stance on the vaccine does actually appeal quite strongly to some in the republican movement . and my republican movement. and my pollsters feeling was , you know, pollsters feeling was, you know, it would be plus or minus one point state by state and it wouldn't make that much difference overall. what say you ? >> well, thank you for having me on, nigel. great admirer of gb news. thank you. it seems it seems to me kennedy does appeal to both sides and so it might be a wash. but when you look at his appeal to democrats , it's that appeal to democrats, it's that kennedy mystique. and that's been a powerful thing over the years . i've been in been a powerful thing over the years. i've been in in rooms with robert kennedy . i'm no with robert kennedy. i'm no relation to him, by the way , but relation to him, by the way, but i've been in rooms with him and he appeal. just it's he has a real appeal. just it's hard describe to everyday

hard to describe to everyday democrats . but i've been in democrats. but i've been in rooms with him, with republicans and i was at a speech at hillsdale college. he and i were both speaking about big pharma and the harmful effects of the vaccine. he was in front of 800 conservatives in michigan who were there from around the country and got a standing ovation . now these are hard core ovation. now these are hard core repubu ovation. now these are hard core republi cans. for the most part, he got a standing ovation because as he is criticising both the big pharma medical establish moment here in the united states, which seems to be a very harmful and ineffective , a very harmful and ineffective, you know, organised nation for actually, you know, making sure americans are healthy. he does that on the one hand. on the other hand, he goes after the american deep state , so—called, american deep state, so—called, you know, the apparatus of the intelligence community and it's its inclination toward driving america toward endless wars. and so to the extent that he makes those arguments , it's they're those arguments, it's they're very similar in many ways to the

arguments of donald trump. so i can see it playing out in a very interesting way. i think he'll be the most consequential third party candidate since ross perot ran for president and moved the election from bush to bill clinton. >> yeah, what he did and perot got about 17% of the national vote. yep. you know, i'm ross, you're the boss. and it was a very impressive campaign. well, brian, i've not met kennedy junior, but friends of mine have been to speeches that he's given and he's a pretty and said, yeah, he's a pretty inspiring figure. now, the republicans, of small republicans, this sort of small group that forced group of republicans that forced out the speaker, the ouster, as you call it , out the speaker, the ouster, as you call it, last week. and mccarthy was gone . it looks like mccarthy was gone. it looks like steve scalise is who would be the more moderate , i suppose, of the more moderate, i suppose, of the more moderate, i suppose, of the two candidates, jim jordan being the other one, steve scalise has been selected by the parliamentary group, but is he actually going to win? is he going to become speaker ? going to become speaker? >> well, certainly looks that >> well, it certainly looks that way right now. and he is the more moderate candidate . he's

more moderate candidate. he's more moderate candidate. he's more of an institutionalist. they say. but he's a very they say. but he's also a very close ally of kevin mccarthy . close ally of kevin mccarthy. and so kevin mccarthy in effect, would in this in this with scalise, mccarthy would have, in effect, be a very influential figure in a scalise speakership i >> yeah, well, it's going to be very interesting to see. i want to say, brian, thank you for joining us on the program and come back and see us again soon. thank you very much indeed . and thank you very much indeed. and bedbugs, it's the big story, of course, in france . pictures of course, in france. pictures of people turfing their mattresses out onto the streets in marseille and some panic here with sadiq khan saying that pubuc with sadiq khan saying that public transport was a real source of concern , but source of concern, but everything was being done. well a very senior british technical officer for the british pest control association has said we are not ready for an invasion of bedbugs. well, john horsley joins me down the line right now. what do you mean we're not

ready, john horsley? surely if this was to happen, we must have the insecticide beds that we would use to deal it . would use to deal with it. >> yeah, we've got everything in place at the minute . it's not place at the minute. it's not we're not expecting to have a big wave of bedbugs that come this way. obviously, we've had bedbugsin this way. obviously, we've had bedbugs in this country since the 17th century, just like everyone was decrease in everyone there was a decrease in the then since then , the 1940s. and then since then, you know, we have seen a steady increase . and a majority of that increase. and a majority of that is through our travel. is linked to through our travel. so the more we travel, you know, the these bedbugs the more likely these bedbugs are to, know, are going to, you know, be around . around. >> what i mean , john, what >> and what i mean, john, what should people do if they discover these in their house? is it is it a matter of calling in a pest officer or is there anything is there anything over the counter we could buy? perhaps s to help with the problem ? problem? >> yeah. bedbugs are notoriously difficult to treat . they won't difficult to treat. they won't just be found in your bed. you'll get them in your carpet, under plug sockets, you'll get them in your carpet, unde to plug sockets, you'll get them in your carpet, unde to tvs. plug sockets, you'll get them in your carpet, unde to tvs. they plug sockets, you'll get them in your carpet, unde to tvs. they tend| sockets, you'll get them in your carpet, unde to tvs. they tend to )ckets, you'll get them in your carpet, unde to tvs. they tend to getts, back to tvs. they tend to get everywhere. if you get bad everywhere. if you get a bad infestation in. the best infestation in. and the best

thing is try and the thing to do is try and spot the signs and get someone signs early and then get someone in from a pest management company deal with that issue in from a pest management corquickly deal with that issue in from a pest management corquickly asieal with that issue in from a pest management corquickly as possible. :hat issue in from a pest management corquickly as possible. theissue as quickly as possible. the quicker with it, the quicker you deal with it, the smaller infestation and smaller infestation will be. and it's me a lot easier to it's annoying me a lot easier to deal with in that way. >> yeah, look, absolutely in >> yeah, look, i absolutely in all in life, when in all things in life, when in doubt, calling a professional, i think that's right. there think that's right. but is there anything you can do individually? there anything individually? is there anything i buy that might help i can go and buy that might help stop the spread ? stop the spread? >> things like , you know, think >> things like, you know, think about how you use your house. so if you've got bedding that's infested with bedbugs, just be careful you're taking it careful when you're taking it down into washing machine down into your washing machine that leaving that you're not leaving it in the room, for instance. that you're not leaving it in the it's room, for instance. that you're not leaving it in the it's spreading.“ instance. that you're not leaving it in the it's spreading.“ insmanaging and it's spreading. so managing that infestation is key and preventing of it . and preventing the spread of it. and actually you can do actually things you can do yourself quite difficult. you yourself is quite difficult. you know, wash bedding a know, you can wash bedding on a high and dry high temperature and tumble dry it and that will help control them. actually getting them. but actually getting rid of would be of the infestation would be difficult with anything over the counter. >> yeah. and how bad is >> gosh. yeah. and how bad is this in france? i mean, is this the press the british tabloid press playing it up or is it really a problem ? problem? >> they have got a particular

problem in france at the minute . you know, has been well . you know, it has been well documented that it has raised slightly over here. we don't have a massive increase in bedbugs. we have them in bedbugs. we do have them in areas. it will move around as people are moving around. but yeah, it's not it's not a big issue here as of yet. i don't expect to see them travelling overin expect to see them travelling over in big waves. it's just, you know, same as last year. if people are travelling there may be chance that you can come into contact with them, that chance is slim , butjust be is still very slim, but just be mindful and i think all the coverage that has been around, you it's great that people you know, it's great that people have sort learnt a bit around have sort of learnt a bit around bedbugs prevents bedbugs and if it prevents someone from infesting their property with them because they spot early , you know, spot the signs early, you know, that's thing that we've done. >> downside is you get >> and the downside is you get bitten and you get sort of blotchy on your body . blotchy marks on your body. >> yeah, that's, you know, it's going to be uncomfortable. all they be slightly itchy , but they may be slightly itchy, but in as as in majority cases, as long as you them, they you don't scratch them, they will just go away. it may be a slight delay once you've been

bitten, not been bitten, if you've not been bitten, if you've not been bitten before, it can take sort of up to two weeks that bite bitten before, it can take sort of show. two weeks that bite bitten before, it can take sort of show. so: weeks that bite bitten before, it can take sort of show. so it/eeks that bite bitten before, it can take sort of show. so it might that bite bitten before, it can take sort of show. so it might notlat bite bitten before, it can take sort of show. so it might not be bite to show. so it might not be instant. yeah you will get them instant. yeah you will get them in clusters. you'll instant. yeah you will get them in you clusters. you'll instant. yeah you will get them in you know, |sters. you'll instant. yeah you will get them in you know, aers. you'll instant. yeah you will get them in you know, aers. together get, you know, a few together because they a little while because they take a little while to and as you disturb them to feed. and as you disturb them when you they'll move when you sleep, they'll move slightly feed again. so slightly and then feed again. so you see little and you tend to see little rows and clusters of bite marks, right? >> it's >> well, it's not the most it's not the most pleasant of subjects. john subjects. but i think john horsley, message don't horsley, the message is don't panic. very panic. and thank you very much indeed uve panic. and thank you very much indeed live on gb indeed forjoining us live on gb news. any trouble is telling people not to scratch it. it's like telling a kid not to pick up their chickenpox spots . it up their chickenpox spots. it just doesn't really happen, does it day three of the big case at it? day three of the big case at the supreme court over rwanda today and one of the king's counsellors representing the migrants has put fonnard an argument that could be that could be catastrophic for the government

day day three in the supreme

court of the big rwanda judgement and richard drabble kc, representing one of the migrants that does not want to be sent off to rwanda to, has made an argument that says under eu law you cannot put asylum seekers in countries with which they have no no real connection . but you say none of that matters. we've got brexit. yes but the drabble argument is that in brexit, whilst we got back our rights over legal immigration in, we didn't bother to opt out over the bits on asylum. now of course the home office is saying this simply isn't true. i don't know what the answer is, but if drabble is right out then the government is absolutely sunk over its rwanda plan. i'm joined by fadi farhat, senior legal consultant at gulbenkian eldonian lawyers and fadi, we've discussed this before on the programme, but

this argument that has come as a bit of a bolt from the blue, hasn't it ? hasn't it? >> yes, nigel, it has as it all goes down to the withdrawal act, the 2020 withdrawal act section one says that it's an act to end rights relating to free movement and i quote other eu, other retained eu law relating to immigration. but this is asylum, but not relating to immigration and asylum . so it's just those and asylum. so it's just those two words that needed to be added to the end of the provision relating to immigration and asylum . the immigration and asylum. the argument is buy. the argument is that immigration and asylum are distinct areas. asylum being the 1951 refugee convention. yes, immigration action can mean a lots of things. it can mean work permits can mean studying, can mean visiting , can mean a whole mean visiting, can mean a whole bunch of things. and therefore they are two distinct areas. is they are two distinct areas. is the argument put fonnard by mr

drabble? >> kc but we were told there was an oven ready deal, that it was all sorted out. >> that's the government's counter argument, is that immigration an the word immigration an the word immigration is broad enough to cover asylum as well. and indeed, although there are many provisions in our laws that refer to immigration and asylum as distinct areas in in most cases, they are also used interchangeably. and for example , all the rules relating to asylum and how to claim asylum are contained in a document called the immigration rules, not the asylum rules. okay. so that's one argument the government has . unfortunately, government has. unfortunately, there are examples, up to 60 other examples where they are treated quite differently. and so that's where the argument put fonnard by mr drabble. kc has some traction. however it was an argument dismissed by the high court and by the court of appeal. so the supreme court is looking at it afresh, but it was

dismissed initially by the high court in the court of appeal thatis court in the court of appeal that is no indicator that the supreme court will follow. so the high court and the in the court of appeal, very often the supreme court provides fresh analysis overturns analysis and actually overturns the court and court of the high court and court of appeal. we just don't know . it's appeal. we just don't know. it's a semantic gamble, as it were. >> gosh , it does all point to >> gosh, it does all point to one thing, though, doesn't it, that despite the years that we had to get ready for this brexit agreement , that actually we agreement, that actually we finished up with something that is in this this case highlights it? that is pretty unclear . yes. it? that is pretty unclear. yes. >> and all it and all it would have taken is two words to include . include. >> and does that qualify as a lawyer say to you that the government did not do as good a job as perhaps they could have done ? done? >> they could have made it far more watertight if that was. yeah, and that's the argument put fonnard, is that it was so obvious and you didn't make it watertight, therefore watertight, meaning therefore you include you didn't intend to include provisions relating to asylum and it does sound like whichever

way the judgement goes and this particular part of the judgement , it does appear that the government have actually landed themselves in potentially a very difficult situation. >> does sound to me like casey drabble's arguments quite powerful. i have to confess it does sound that way. >> it's a compelling argument to me and it worries me greatly. >> so we've had a three day hearing. there are five judges there on the supreme court. how long do we have to wait? do you think, for a judgement ? think, for a judgement? >> it's quite difficult . it's >> it's quite difficult. it's that it's that how, how long is a piece of string ? typekit can't a piece of string? typekit can't wait forever for it. we can't wait forever for it. we can't wait forever. but many are saying we should be able to get something this side of christmas. so okay, so you know we could go into so we're talking about a few months. >> yes, we get something before christmas . and if the supreme christmas. and if the supreme court rules that that we should trust our government, our home

secretary, to make these judgements on rwanda , then they judgements on rwanda, then they can start flights to rwanda early next year. yes or if we get to that point where the government wins , could they then government wins, could they then be taken to the european court of human rights in strasbourg ? of human rights in strasbourg? >> yes, because as putting aside this issue of drafting and wording, the ultimate issue is whether rwanda is a safe third country or whether sending people to rwanda would be a breach of article three of the echr and of course, the ambit of echr and of course, the ambit of echr rights are decided in strasbourg. so >> so even if the government wins , it still hasn't actually wins, it still hasn't actually yet won. >> not until the fat lady sings. and that's in strasbourg , and a and that's in strasbourg, and a case in strasbourg would take how long to be heard . that could how long to be heard. that could be the best part of , well, i be the best part of, well, i suppose an issue of this importance may be streamlined or fast tracked . but again, we're .

fast tracked. but again, we're. talking the best end of 12 months plus, i should imagine, which would take us beyond and not that it's your responsibility, but would responsibility, but it would take beyond a general take us beyond a general election, the next general election. >> and government loses, >> and if the government loses, that's finished. >> and if the government loses, tha if finished. >> and if the government loses, tha if loses finished. >> and if the government loses, tha if loses on finished. >> and if the government loses, tha if loses on the nished. >> and if the government loses, tha if loses on the article >> if it loses on the article three point relating echr three point relating to echr rights, is dead rights, yes, the program is dead and buried. it were lose and buried. if it were to lose on point drafting wrong on this point of drafting wrong parliament back and parliament could go back and reword act. but reword the withdrawal act. but of you might not have of course you you might not have enough that because enough time to do that because you're general you're heading into a general election way, there is . >> either way, there is. just so much frustration in the country around this. you know, i mean, maybe it's simplest stick, but i think what brexit voters thought they going to get was they were going to get was absolute would absolute clarity that we would make these big, important decisions. clearly we decisions. and clearly we haven't has anybody haven't yet done it has anybody else would we else ever left the echr would we be say be the first country to say we're to with we're not going to stay with

this or do other this anymore? or do other countries just ignore their judgements? work? judgements? how does it work? >> believe country judgements? how does it work? >> left believe country judgements? how does it work? >> left belechr country judgements? how does it work? >> left belechr after country has left the echr after being a signatory. countries signatory. so yeah, countries may certain may not implement certain judgements as comprehensive as others, . others, but. we this would be a first very diplomatic but. >> farivar thank you very much indeed for joining >> farivar thank you very much indeed forjoining me. worrying indeed for joining me. worrying jacob joins me. jacob, jacob rees—mogg joins me. jacob, we show we were chatting before the show about what happens to electric vehicles there's a fire vehicles if there's a fire referring luton. indeed. referring to luton. yes, indeed. have more out have you found any more out about have you found any more out abowell, i've that may >> well, i've heard that it may have come from charger have come from a tesla charger point be point that seems to be a revelation sent revelation that somebody sent to me. been to check me. i haven't been able to check whether this is absolutely certain, that true, certain, but if that is true, it really does raise serious questions about electric cars, because the original story was that diesel range roven >> something had gone wrong. but what we do, i think, know is that if an electric car combusts, it's quite a

spectacular thing saying, oh, that's definitely true. >> much more spectacular >> it's much more spectacular and much harder to and it's also much harder to put out. so it'll be really interesting what the interesting to find out what the fire to be says fire brigade has to be has says about when it does its about this. when it does its report on the took off, report on why the fire took off, as how it spread so as it did, how it spread so quickly, it wasn't just quickly, why it wasn't just confined one and confined to one car and the intensity we've confined to one car and the inten:reading we've confined to one car and the inten:reading about we've confined to one car and the inten:reading about that we've confined to one car and the inten:reading about that seems to been reading about that seems to have destroyed the building. yeah. >> reports it's not proven >> and reports it's not proven that vehicles only that electric vehicles were only or only a report thought you know, i don't want to but we're going to follow this and watch it. yes. now what have you got coming up? >> what have we got? we're obviously be talking >> what have we got? we're obvio about be talking >> what have we got? we're obvio about what's be talking >> what have we got? we're obvio about what's going king >> what have we got? we're obvio about what's going ong >> what have we got? we're obvio about what's going on in more about what's going on in israel and the extent to which iran is behind it. how much is israel and the extent to which iran george|d it. how much is israel and the extent to which iran george|d it. ijr's much is israel and the extent to which iran george|d it. ijr's mucofs this, george bush jr's axis of evil that bad people, bad actors, who actors, people who are fundamentally to the fundamentally opposed to the west, really trying to do things that all of our interests that damage all of our interests and it is that the and how important it is that the uk supports israel, but also to ukraine russia ukraine because iran and russia and north korea are three of the friends on the axis. i never
