9:08 pm
whatever happened to an ice cream brand? being vanilla ? talk cream brand? being vanilla? talk about a rocky road . remember the about a rocky road. remember the good old days when companies were there to make money and their main focus was to sell their main focus was to sell their products rather than wag their products rather than wag their finger at you and pursue an often bonkers progressive agenda. an often bonkers progressive agenda . well, the good news is agenda. well, the good news is it doesn't work, and people are voting with their wallets. disney's ultra politically correct recent films have bombed at the box office. gillette insulted and lost their male customers by telling them they were responsible for toxic masculinity and bud light saw a collapse in their share price after a guy identifying as a female who has a history of mocking women was used as the face of the brand. at that point , customers took the view that the marketing for that famously pissy beer was taking the piss a ridiculous dossier on gb news star nigel farage was put together by the natwest owned
9:09 pm
coutts bank with countless references to his political views and his support for brexit. another egregious example of the politicisation of our corporate actions. bank building societies and other institutions want to change the world, but all we want from them is better customer service . yes, is better customer service. yes, but it's not about the customer , but it's not about the customer, and these companies often don't even behave like businesses anymore , which is why many are anymore, which is why many are losing income from terrifying policies. that stands for environmental, social and governance. reward businesses for pushing climate alarmism and preaching progressive and often contested ideas like trans ideology, which says you can change your sex or critical race theory, which goes against martin luther king's message of a colour—blind society. the globalist wet dream of esg seeks to embed this divisive and often wacky stuff into the dna of our biggest companies , which is why biggest companies, which is why this new intervention from mr
9:10 pm
schumacher is so welcome and ought to bolster his company's share price, which has been tumbling. the poor guy has been sweating so much he probably needs some of that sure deodorant that his firm makes. what was that about going broke and going woke. what was that about going broke and going woke . you heard me and going woke. you heard me right . unilever, famous for right. unilever, famous for domestos , persil and dove soap domestos, persil and dove soap is absolutely right to clean up its act, bring it . its act, bring it. on your reaction , mark at your reaction, mark at gbnews.com. i'll get to your email shortly , but let's hear email shortly, but let's hear from tonight's top pundits. a brand new star on mark dolan tonight jenni trent hughes , tonight jenni trent hughes, political commentator and former conservative advisor claire pearsall and legendary radio and tv presenter diddy david hamilton. well listen, jenny, great to have you on the program i >> -- >> i'm thrilled to be here.

9:12 pm
stuff, you know, just does not make any sense at all. so it's just it's just bad. it's bad. communicate skills. >> yes, because the dove campaign was very successful because it dovetailed, no pun intended with their product, because it was aimed at women and telling women that enjoy your body, you're beautiful in whatever shape that body comes. and that's with the brand. but exactly for an ice cream brand to have a view on the rwanda plan feels a stretch to me. plan feels like a stretch to me. well what's different that well what's different about that is jerry were always a is ben and jerry were always a completely different thing in america. >> they were an anarchy . i mean, >> they were an anarchy. i mean, just completely off the scale of hippies. exactly they were a pair of hippies. they were a pair of hippies. they were a pair of hippies. they were a pair of old hippies. and they all they did was talk politics. and when they started doing it, that had never been done before. the concept of politics in relationship to a product. and there were people who wouldn't buy it because they like this, didn't . now that's old didn't like that. now that's old school . school. >> well, i think jenny's right to point dove to point out dove is a successful campaign . successful campaign. >> gillette famously told
9:13 pm
>> but gillette famously told their male customers that they were responsive for toxic masculinity , a very expensive masculinity, a very expensive multi—million dollar campaign, telling men that they were rubbish. surprise, surprise. they stopped buying their razors in most cases. claire, we do not want a political lecture from these companies . these companies. >> no, we want the products to do what it says it's going to do , and that's about it. >> want to know that you're >> you want to know that you're getting a good product good getting a good product at a good price. going what you price. it's going to do what you need. do, and that's about need. it to do, and that's about it. and the problem it. and this is the problem i have things like ben and have with things like ben and jerry's. it's ice cream. i used to quite their cookie dough to quite like their cookie dough ice they started ice cream. then they started going on the uk immigration system. and you just think, well, a second, some well, hang on a second, some overpriced sugary stuff that i quite like . is it worth it? quite like. is it worth it? because that's just put me off having it. now i'll go and have something else, but i also think the with like the problem with things like gillette about gillette going on about toxic masculinity , it's aiming this masculinity, it's aiming this now at an audience who are younger. my son is actually sitting out in the green room at the moment, very nearly 15 years old. >> he gets a name.
9:14 pm

9:15 pm
at social issues and how you're going to address those. what i have a problem with is when they take on one argument that say like the trans debate and they take one side without giving a balanced view of it and making it that if you don't believe this, then you're wrong. and i think that's where companies get it wrong . absolutely fine to it wrong. absolutely fine to look at social issues. absolutely fine to look at gender but come gender issues, but don't come down as the arbiter of all things. right >> david, in the old days, companies to their companies used to sell their products. sell a social products. now they sell a social message. do we want that ? message. do we want that? >> well, think once they >> well, i think once they realise that sales are plummeting, i think they'll get the . unilever, the message. unilever, incidentally, another one of their products is marmite , which their products is marmite, which you either love it or you hate it, you know, but but yeah, i think we don't need the messages. i mean, and i think in the end they'll realise that , the end they'll realise that, you know, if they're not selling the product then that's what they need to do. they need to get back to basics . get back to basics. >> your reaction? >> your reaction? >> mark gbviews@gbnews.com loving my pundits tonight.

9:21 pm
they were true philanthropists who didn't need to virtue signal. and last but not least , signal. and last but not least, that lovely linda who says, mark, have you combed your hair tonight? and linda, i think i have, but let's be honest. i'm fighting a losing battle. keep those emails coming, mark, at cbnnews.com. it's time now for the story. hundreds of the big story. and hundreds of thousands demonstrate voters thousands of demonstrate voters have across have rallied in cities across europe and north america this weekend in support of palestinian issues as israel's military widened its air and ground offensive on the gaza strip . in one of the biggest strip. in one of the biggest marches in london, ariel footage showed large crowds marching through the centre of the capital, demanding the uk government calls for a ceasefire whilst the argument that innocent palestinians should be protected is a compelling one. and who would argue with that? israel's objective is to defend itself to and eradicate the threat of hamas , who inflicted threat of hamas, who inflicted the biggest single attack on jewish people since the holocaust . but on october the
9:22 pm
holocaust. but on october the 7th, but with the public and many high profile commentators and politicians critical of its response to this crisis, has the west given up on israel? let's put that to the formidable political double act of neil and christine hamilton . neil, christine hamilton. neil, ukraine has received almost universal support, political , universal support, political, diplomatic and financial follow ing the russian invasion. why not the same for israel ? not the same for israel? >> well, it's bizarre , isn't it? >> well, it's bizarre, isn't it? because what we're witnessing here is basically the clash of civilisations against barbarism. an and it's astonishing that we see these vast demonstrations in favour of barbarism . israel is a favour of barbarism. israel is a beacon of enlightenment and western values in a sea of failed states , autocratic failed states, autocratic monarchies and basket case countries . and these people were countries. and these people were marching for so—called free palestine, basic supporting the kind of world that israel is surrounded by, which is a total
9:23 pm
failure in modern humanitarian terms . and yes , i'm in favour of terms. and yes, i'm in favour of a free palestine , but hamas does a free palestine, but hamas does not in any way represent freedom . it's a death cult organised nafion . it's a death cult organised nation which is in favour of genocide of against jews and anybody in the west with the freedoms that we've got. could be supporting the kind of values that this horrific organisation stands for is beyond anybody's understanding, in my view. well, indeed , i'm labelling it as indeed, i'm labelling it as rebadged now, christine , israel rebadged now, christine, israel is the only democracy in the middle east. >> they share our values of freedom and the rule of law. their war is our war, isn't it? >> yes, indeed. their war is our war. and jews are the most persecuted nation. they've been persecuted nation. they've been persecuted for thousands of years . and yes, their war is our years. and yes, their war is our war. they are dying for that war. they are dying for that war. and the idea that you can
9:24 pm
even begin to equate what hamas has done to what the israelis are doing now in self—defence is to me, just totally unacceptable and totally ludicrous . there is and totally ludicrous. there is no parallel . they are defending no parallel. they are defending themselves and it's all very well for hamas and other people and all these do gooders in the labour party to say they shouldn't be doing it. what the hell they supposed to do? hell are they supposed to do? just sit and hamas just sit there and let hamas take over push them all into take over and push them all into the that's what they're the sea? that's what they're chanting for. the river chanting for. from the river to the means utterly the sea, which means utterly obliterate israel. and chuck the jews out. that is what they're wanting. and that is what is happening on the streets of london, which i find deep , london, which i find deep, disturbing, deeply offensive and horrific, frankly . horrific, frankly. >> and the labour party, neil, however , the scenes in gaza so however, the scenes in gaza so apologies, christine . neil the apologies, christine. neil the scenes in gaza are devastating. in order to eliminate hamas, which is the military objective of the israelis civil liens are going to die .
9:25 pm
of the israelis civil liens are going to die. do you think of the israelis civil liens are going to die . do you think there going to die. do you think there is an argument for a ceasefire >> no, absolutely not. a ceasefire will only help hamas. hamas is a terrorist organisation that is defined in law in this country. organisation that is defined in law in this country . you know, law in this country. you know, the bbc doesn't seem to recognise this and they are firing rockets into israel even now as we speak. and the horrific scenes of butchery which we witnessed three weeks ago , the slaughtering of ago, the slaughtering of children , the kidnapping and children, the kidnapping and murder of holocaust victims in their 80s and 90s , the parading their 80s and 90s, the parading of dead bodies of israeli women naked . and defiled these these naked. and defiled these these are acts of mediaeval barbarism , are acts of mediaeval barbarism, you know, in the muslim calendar , the year is 1444. and you know, this is a metaphor. i think, for what these people all stand for medievalist art, darkness as against western
9:26 pm
europe , an enlightenment and europe, an enlightenment and that's what i said earlier on. it's a clash of civilisations in a sense, although what we are fighting in in the middle east is civilisation fighting barbarism. yeah and i don't think it's possible to equate the two in any shape or form , the two in any shape or form, but of course the problem is complicate . and now because we complicate. and now because we have a huge muslim population in this country , a significant this country, a significant proportion of which turns a blind eye at the very least to the kind of activities of organisations like hamas. and i don't know, neil, if you can say significant portion, we don't know how many palestinians, palestinian supporters in this country, how many muslims support hamas. >> you wouldn't be able to put a figure on that, surely? no of course i can't put a figure on it. >> but the fact that 100,000 people supposedly today are demonstrating in london, you know, fundamentally in favour of
9:27 pm
what hamas is objectives are, which is the ceasefire can only help hamas . there's no word of help hamas. there's no word of criticism by the muslim council of britain for against the atrocities which were committed atrocities which were committed a few weeks ago . if they seek a few weeks ago. if they seek a sort of evenhanded view of israel at and the palestine extremists , you know, there's extremists, you know, there's another organisation in fatah which is represented by mahmoud abbas in on the west bank of jordan, who don't take the hamas line. we haven't heard anything about them from these people who are demonstrating in the streets . and this is the problem that's now being created . that, of now being created. that, of course, once got natural human sympathy for people who are suffering from israeli bombardment. but why is israel bombarding gaza? it's because it's hamas controlled and the effectively the majority of people who are living in gaza
9:28 pm
have supported hamas control . have supported hamas control. indeed, underground tunnels which are being used to attack israel indiscriminately . the israel indiscriminately. the civilian population is been under attack for the last 15 or 20 years. israel withdrew from gaza in 2005 and that could have been made into a successful a separate state as israel has beenin separate state as israel has been in the last 50 years. but they've decided to seek the path of death and destruction in stead of the kind of path which israel has taken in the last half century, which is to create a functioning democracy and a successful capitalist economy in the middle east. the only one in fact, the only one. and the only the only democracy , of course, the only democracy, of course, neil, as well . neil, as well. >> listen, i take your point. i've been on record as condemning those on marches , condemning those on marches, calling out the horrible anti—semitism that we've seen from certain quarters in those
9:29 pm
demonstrations. but we obviously cannot equate everyone on the marches with support for hamas. listen christine, i want to get to this other showbiz story in just a second. the clock is against us, but you were going to something about the to say something about the labour . labour party. >> oh, was i? you're reading my mind. well i mean, i wish i could do that . keir. keir could do that. keir. keir starmer's got a major problem on his hand, hasn't he? he's sitting with his backside on a babbung sitting with his backside on a babbling volcano of his mps because they are. they are split just thought he was just as he thought he was cruising victory. he's now cruising to victory. he's now got of them because of got a lot of them because of this in in gaza completely this issue in in gaza completely divided and it's showing all the anti—semitism that was there under jeremy corbyn and what's his name? starmer thought that he'd quashed all that, but he hasn't . and this issue has now hasn't. and this issue has now brought it bubbling back up. well, i'm really glad you mentioned it. >> i'm you mentioned it, >> i'm glad you mentioned it, christine, because going >> i'm glad you mentioned it, ch be ine, because going >> i'm glad you mentioned it, ch be discussingse going >> i'm glad you mentioned it, ch be discussing it going >> i'm glad you mentioned it, ch be discussing it with going >> i'm glad you mentioned it, ch be discussing it with mying >> i'm glad you mentioned it, ch be discussing it with my top to be discussing it with my top pundits in just a few minutes. but something else to ask but something else i want to ask you before you go, you about before you go, christine, get back christine, before you get back to shabli. go to that bottle of shabli. go. go
9:30 pm
on, christine. >> can i just i just >> can i just say one? i just want one more thing about want to say one more thing about the gaza situation. if hamas wanted intent wanted to show any good intent at all, they could release those hostages and they weren't. and that, frankly, that to me sums up their bad intent. >> that's a very astute observation. you're absolutely right. well, the developing story now , christine and neil, story now, christine and neil, in the world showbiz and the in the world of showbiz and the daughter of richard and judy, chloe madeley has confirmed that she split from her husband, she has split from her husband, rugby star james she has split from her husband, rugby starjames haskell she has split from her husband, rugby star james haskell, she has split from her husband, rugby star james haskell , the rugby star james haskell, the couple who married in 2018 have fuelled speculation about their relationship after the personal trainer emerged without her wedding ring as she parted with friends shortly after haskell was pictured chatting to a mystery blonde outside a london nightspot. then, the nightspot. since then, the couple, who star in a reality show about their own lives, have both out on several both been seen out on several occasions without their rings in a joint updated statement shared on instagram, they said, chloe and i mutually decided to separate. at the end of september 2023. we'd not planned on releasing a statement at this

time. certainly not while the television show was airing, but constant speculation about our marriage has unfortunately forced our hands. now, christine , you know all about love. the spotlight. tell me about the pressures of celebrity couples . pressures of celebrity couples. well now, neil and i have been married for 40 years. >> we've been living together for 45. and we met each other over half a century ago. so we've lived through thick and thin and we took our marriage vows and we actually genuinely meant them when we said it. and i think too many i'm not talking about this particular couple because i know nothing about them. i didn't even know who she was married to until this evening. i have no idea about them, but i think too many people get married in haste. they don't think about the full implications . they don't really implications. they don't really think what they are promising. they are mega promises. they are the biggest promises you will ever make in your life. >> yeah, well, i promise to love, honour and obey.
9:32 pm
>> i did not promise to obey. >> i did not promise to obey. >> absolutely not. so you know. yes, of course. in the spotlight . but they brought the spotlight on themselves, haven't they? i mean , they've done, as i mean, they've done, as i understand it, they've done this fly on the documentary fly on the wall documentary about their life. have about their life. they have invited the whole world to see their marriage from the inside. and, you know , i read one and, you know, i read one article in the press about it because i knew we were going to because i knew we were going to be talking about it. they have invited right into their invited people right into their marriage. and clearly their marriage. and clearly their marriage is not as it is extraordinary. they have a baby of 14 months and apparently it's been falling apart for quite a long time . what in god's name long time. what in god's name did they think they were doing? getting married in the first place? i mean, if you can't survive the first year or so and producing a baby together , why producing a baby together, why did you get married in the first place? you must question why you put hand up . mark, are you put your hand up. mark, are you about to get divorced? no. what i want say. i want to say. >> thank god that you two got married. and god neil
9:33 pm
married. and thank god that neil has ever since. has been obeying you ever since. he's absolutely right, christine anne who must be obeyed, anne is she? who must be obeyed, but not her. indoors er everywhere. er on gb news. listen, is brilliant to have you both on the program a match made in heaven. we'll catch up soon. my thanks to neil and christine hamilton. go and get stuck into that bottle of vino. lovely to have aren't they have your company. aren't they great, those two. and i feel like tie on for like neil put that tie on for his appearance this evening. and i'm deeply flattered. coming up with , does with tonight's pundits, does keir starmer's chaotic handling of israel crisis demonstrate of the israel crisis demonstrate he's unfit to be prime minister and with irritation around halloween growing, should britain put two fingers up to american holidays? that's
9:34 pm
9:35 pm
9:36 pm
don't have enough police officers to take on a crowd that that large anyway, build more pnsons that large anyway, build more prisons earlier on gb news radio i >> well, let's get back to the big stories of the day with my top pundits. and it feels inevitable that sir keir starmer will soon call for a ceasefire in israel . gaza. he's already in israel. gaza. he's already begun to walk back the line that
9:37 pm
israel has a right to defend itself after 250 muslim labour councillors , two labour mayors councillors, two labour mayors and the scottish labour leader call for him to change tack . two call for him to change tack. two powerful factions in labour pull him the increasing reliance on the muslim vote and the return of the corbynistas his message is unclear. labour's stance could be argued to be a mess. so does keir starmer's chaotic handung does keir starmer's chaotic handling of the israel crisis demonstrate he's unfit to be prime minister? david well that's a very direct question, isn't it? >> i mean, we've had the tories in disarray and now labour in disarray . i mean they're going disarray. i mean they're going to get in, aren't they. it's, it's a foregone conclusion, but apart from his charisma bypass , apart from his charisma bypass, i don't think anybody really knows what he believes in. >> well, listen, let's speak to the man in the know because the political editor of the daily express online , david maddox, express online, david maddox, joins wrote about this in joins us. he wrote about this in the paper today, a cracking article. i'd urge people to go
9:38 pm
to the express website and give it read. good evening, david. it a read. good evening, david. what main thrust of your what was the main thrust of your article about starmer and article today about starmer and israel ? israel? >> evening? mark well, it was exactly as you said. he is. he has lost control of his situation and i think maybe we should give him credit for trying to do the right thing in the first place. but but, you know, to defend israel's right to defend itself . but he is to defend itself. but he is completely you know, this whole idea that he'd somehow got rid of a corbynista , that he'd taken of a corbynista, that he'd taken back control for the kind of sensible politics, you know, the corbynistas are back . as you corbynistas are back. as you say, he's highly reliant on muslim votes . you know, his two muslim votes. you know, his two leading muslim , um, kind of leading muslim, um, kind of leadership people in the party, sadiq khan and anas sannar , have sadiq khan and anas sannar, have both come out . against you know, both come out. against you know, against his policy and in favour of a ceasefire. i'm just looking at the papers tonight for previews of the papers tonight,
9:39 pm
which i will be landing which i know will be landing with you soon. you know, he's agreed weekly meetings with agreed to weekly meetings with muslim party muslim mps now half his party now have signed up for a ceasefire . it's he's in big trouble. >> well, indeed . is it only >> well, indeed. is it only israel or does division over the middle east have wider implications across the policy agenda? the economy be woke issues , energy policy and beyond ? >> well, we've already seen with keir starmer that he can't hold on to a policy for more than a week. you know, he's become mr u—turn in in an amazing series of different policies, whether it's energy or, you know, private schools or all sorts of things. but and this is all about a matter of , things. but and this is all about a matter of, you things. but and this is all about a matter of , you know, about a matter of, you know, it's the criticism of rishi sunakis it's the criticism of rishi sunak is which is too much led by his own mps , essentially by his own mps, essentially starmer cannot control his party. and if he if he falls on this one, on this issue of the
9:40 pm
middle east, it may not be a killer on the doorsteps for him, but actually it will show the country that he is not in charge. and you know, he may win the next election , but he will the next election, but he will be a prime minister in name only. if he is if he does. and actually, i think that this week, if things do go wrong for labour next year , this week will labour next year, this week will be the week when people say actually it began to start falling apart. now >> david maddox fascinating analysis. do head over to express .co.uk to read david's article. he is the editor of the daily express, the political editor of the express online. thank you, david. we'll catch up soon. and good luck putting tonight's paper to bed. well, let's get reaction now from my other pundits and claire pearsall. what do you think about ? is starmer already about this? is starmer already in trouble and even in in trouble and he's not even in number 10? this is always going to be a sort of seminal moment for labour leader, given for a labour leader, given the history they have with history that they have with corbyn and his views on jewish
9:41 pm
people . people. >> so i think that keir starmer was always to going find this difficult. he started off, in all fairness, very, very well . all fairness, very, very well. he listened to his muslim mps , he listened to his muslim mps, but he supported the prime minister, supported what the minister, he supported what the government under . government were doing under. fortunately, he to go fortunately, he then has to go and re—explain some of and sort of re—explain some of his comments when said that his comments when he said that it right israel it was right that israel shut off to gaza and water then off power to gaza and water then he sort of said, well, actually, no, i didn't quite mean that they have the right to defend themselves. and i think this is where shows the the where it shows the almost the sort of naivety of that you sort of naivety of him that you have to be very, very sure of what you're saying. you have to be sure of your position because the minute you have to go out there and explain yourself, you've lost the message. so i think we're seeing an awful think that we're seeing an awful lot being think that we're seeing an awful lot which being think that we're seeing an awful lot which for being think that we're seeing an awful lot which for the being made, which for the conservatives among us, like myself, you sort of think, okay, well, he isn't ready to be prime minister now , whether the rest minister now, whether the rest of the country feel like that remains seen. but i think remains to be seen. but i think that take these that if he can't take these really big decisions right now, then i think that he's in
9:42 pm
trouble. what will need to happenis trouble. what will need to happen is he needs to come with with a firm idea of what he's doing with muslim councillors and muslim mps of his own party who either resigned or who have either resigned or threatened . i threatened to resign. and i think really think that's the really important hold important thing, is does he hold firm and completely get behind the government and the issues at hand, or does he bend, fold and give over the power to the muslim voices within his party? so i think that it's going to be a really rough couple of days andits a really rough couple of days and it's really important now what jenny, does this what he does, jenny, does this story prevarication over story, this prevarication over israel and the division within the labour party demonstrate that that keir starmer gets that that if keir starmer gets in, it will be five years of chaos ? chaos? >> well, i i've lived in this country now over 30 years, and in the time that i've lived here, i have voted conservative. i've labour and lib dems and in premier elections and the one thing that i want is i want to feel that i am voting for someone who this is a bad
9:43 pm
analogy , but somebody who can analogy, but somebody who can drive the bus . okay, that's what drive the bus. okay, that's what i want. i want somebody who can drive the bus and who has people underneath him or her who also are capable of doing what needs to be done and sticking to one roadmap, of course. >> exactly . >> exactly. >> exactly. >> and also being a leader that they are going to listen to. when i look at both parties now , when i look at both parties now, i feel that the people who are in charge could not ride a bus and drive the bus. and in its kind of way, it harkens back to bofis kind of way, it harkens back to boris and his bike. do i would i prefer boris on his bicycle than either one of them driving the bus and rishi sunak has probably never been in a bus before. bus and rishi sunak has probably never andn in a bus before. bus and rishi sunak has probably never and the a bus before. bus and rishi sunak has probably never and the peoplevefore. bus and rishi sunak has probably never and the people underneath well, and the people underneath them don't seem to be cohesive, so they seem to be looking for a way to get their own advantage . way to get their own advantage. so it actually for me , i think so it actually for me, i think he's in trouble and it has not way before this because i don't
9:44 pm
think that i don't think that he has what it takes. and if i was going to bring in somebody for laboun going to bring in somebody for labour, i'd do a write in campaign for david miliband to come back. >> yes. perhaps they chose the wrong miliband. all those years ago. >> oh, no, i said that. then >> oh, no, i said that. then >> right. and how history might have different. listen, have been different. listen, what you keir starmer what do you think, keir starmer and would argue that and his people would argue that labour are streets ahead in the polls, means that britain polls, which means that britain is for a change. labour is ready for a change. labour would argue that the tories have destroyed the economy and we've had 13 years of chaos. so what's your view? mark at cbnnews.com briefly, the countdown to halloween is on with three days to go with spooky decorations and pumpkins littering the streets and party goers dressed as their favourite pet. should britain two fingers up to britain put two fingers up to american holidays as claire no , american holidays as claire no, i don't think they should. >> i'm i'm not a great fan of it, but my village, halloween is beautiful. there are beautifully done houses with loads of decorations outside pumpkins and little kids going round and there's a little map that says
9:45 pm
which houses are going to be decorated where you can go and knock the door. if there knock on the door. and if there are decorations, no pumpkin , are no decorations, no pumpkin, no lights you leave no outside lights on, you leave them . don't knock on the them alone. don't knock on the doon them alone. don't knock on the door. do know what door. so do you know what i think depends the think it depends on the area that in. we've got that you live in. we've got young who live in the young children who live in the village. it's quite sweet. i don't many don't necessarily have many things they things outside my door, so they don't come and knock on it. >> to hear it. >> oh, glad to hear it. >> oh, glad to hear it. >> terrified if >> and they'd be terrified if they but listen, they saw nigel. but listen, jenny halloween a vulgar jenny is halloween a vulgar americanism ? americanism? >> first of all, it's not >> well, first of all, it's not an all. really. an americanism at all. really. so that's first thing so that's the first thing i know. it rains outside, know. when it rains outside, we can americans as can blame the americans as today's tuesday . it's the today's tuesday. it's the americans fault, but it isn't . americans fault, but it isn't. it was originally a religious houday it was originally a religious holiday and then also a pagan houday. holiday and then also a pagan holiday . um, you know, american holiday. um, you know, american americans made a big deal of it. >> and but the americans have imported it. >> yeah, but the americans make a out everything. a big deal out of everything. god bless them. they fail to show stay home. so if show up or stay home. so if they're do something, they're going to do something, then to do big. then they're going to do it big. that's fault. okay. then they're going to do it big. tha briefly. fault. okay. >> briefly. >> briefly. >> yes. got a little >> yes. i've got a little message for you for halloween. it of ghosts and it is the night of ghosts and ghouls. watch out for ghosts

10:05 pm
first, my take. at ten, we can't have nice things anymore, can we? you can't walk down the street holding your phone in front of you for fear it will be snatched out of your hand by a gang of thugs . the police gang of thugs. the police response keep your phone in your pocket. is that what a free and safe society looks like with law enforcement urging you to yield to the will of criminals and accommodate their criminality into your daily life? what the hell is going on with a 6% conviction rate for burglary ? conviction rate for burglary? that crime has effectively been decriminalise , and the only decriminalise, and the only reason to call the police should it happen is to get a reference number for the insurers. people are now being pursued down the streets or followed home if they're wearing a posh watch like rolex and shoplifting like a rolex and shoplifting appears to have become a national pastime, replacing cricket and tiddlywinks . and cricket and tiddlywinks. and then there's car crime exclusive data acquired by the liberal democrats of all people , democrats of all people, suggests that police forces in england and wales are investigating fewer than 1 in 4
10:06 pm
car thefts . at the same time, car thefts. at the same time, the rac reveal that just 6.7% of the rac reveal that just 6.7% of the almost 400,000 reported car crimes in this country annually resulted in anyone being charged. that's right, 400,000 car crimes, 66. 7% prosecuted and god forbid you should leave and god forbid you should leave a bag in your car overnight or a pair of nice sunglasses. the next day, you'll likely be greeted with a smashed window or a missing item. some time ago , a a missing item. some time ago, a friend of mine had his car smashed open so they could take wait for it a picnic blanket. i had no idea criminals were so keen on al fresco had no idea criminals were so keen on alfresco dining in their local park. the criminals make a judgement, as do cops , make a judgement, as do cops, and that is that this is a victim less crime because owners can claim on insurance except such is the level of neglect on the part of our police forces to tackle vehicle crime. that extra costis tackle vehicle crime. that extra cost is being passed on to you and to me .
10:07 pm
cost is being passed on to you and to me. now, take a look at this . i've been driving this this. i've been driving this beauty for years now, a toyota prius in astral black. good runner air conditioning , cruise runner air conditioning, cruise control as standard , a cloth control as standard, a cloth upholstery , a nasty stain on the upholstery, a nasty stain on the passenger seat which won't come out living the dream . yours for out living the dream. yours for a grand. let's talk top. so no points on my licence. no claims . points on my licence. no claims. and yet, inexplicably. as for so many people, my premiums go up every year. sometimes by a couple of hundred pounds. every year. sometimes by a couple of hundred pounds . why? couple of hundred pounds. why? well, because whilst i've been a good boy and you've probably been a good boy or a good girl yourselves, we're all paying for the victims of crime. luckily, my beaten up old vehicle will probably never hugely break the bank to insure. but the problem is getting so bad in our great cities that some more premium models are becoming uninsurable , models are becoming uninsurable, like the excellent british built range rover cars . people work
10:08 pm
range rover cars. people work hard and save hard to acquire these beautiful vehicles, but are now struggling to find cover for them in urban areas. the telegraph did a little experiment themselves , creating experiment themselves, creating a fictional 35 year old woman living in london with six years driving experience and no claims. let's call her lottie lottie us insurance quote for the latest range rover velar r—dynamic mc was 22,500 pounds for a year. good luck with that. looks like lottie will be taking the bus . we've become the bus. we've become acclimatised to criminality now expecting to get mugged or even assaulted at night, expecting to get mugged or even assaulted at night , expecting to assaulted at night, expecting to get burgled, expecting our car to get broken into or nicked. this is a failure of policing, a failure of police culture and a failure of police culture and a failure of police culture and a failure of government policy . failure of government policy. see, look, i think our police officers are the best in the world. i love them. and they do what they can, but they've got precious few resources and their
10:09 pm
job is becoming impossible . but job is becoming impossible. but you can't enjoy life and you can't feel safe if you fear. you are always on the verge of being are always on the verge of being a victim of crime . so i worry a victim of crime. so i worry that there will come a time when crime is so bad that we may never get the genie back into the bottle again. the credibility of the police, just like your vehicle is gone in 60s the crime is fast and we're all furious . it's the way the police furious. it's the way the police effectively turn a blind eye to car theft is enough to drive you round the bend . have you round the bend. have you suffered from a car crime? let me know. mark gbnews.com. i'll get to your emails shortly, but reacting to my take at ten, my top pundits tonight, a brand new star on the show tonight, author and broadcaster jenny trent hughes, political commentator and former conservative advisor, the brilliant claire pearsall and legendary radio and tv presenter david hamilton. let me
10:10 pm
ask you, david, your reaction to the statistic six about car crime only 1 in 4 is investigated and 6% leading to a prosecution action. >> it's incredible, isn't it? i must tell you, mark, i have a friend who lives in chelsea and he has a range rover car and his insurance has rocketed to £5,000 a year. even though he has a garage and a off street parking. and the reason is in his area , and the reason is in his area, 20 cars are stolen in. i think it's. yes not a week. every day . it's. yes not a week. every day. >> it's astonishing. i mean , >> it's astonishing. i mean, that's about £400 a month . that's about £400 a month. jenny, you don't have these problems. you live on a barge. don't you? >> you're completely wrong . no. >> you're completely wrong. no. yes, i do live on a barge. but i used to have a 92 volkswagen wagon , and i lived in a little wagon, and i lived in a little village called corsham in wiltshire. very nice . very wiltshire. very nice. very leafy, very lovely. parked my car on the street . fantastic.
10:11 pm
car on the street. fantastic. i moved to where i'm at now. i'm in a marina there is nothing anywhere where the car is parked in a locked area at and there's nothing you have to drive ten minutes to be near anything and it's very small. what? you're near my insurance is five times more now than it was when i was parking it on the street in a village. so i think that there's yes, there's crime, but we need to have a conversation with some of these insurance companies . of these insurance companies. >> well, i think you're absolutely right. i mean , i find absolutely right. i mean, i find the insurance market completely inexplicable. claire i had to get an insurance quote for a motorbike a couple of years ago and fully comp was cheaper than third party only make it makes sense. >> i really wish i could a few years ago we moved from one side of the road to the other side of the road. same postal area and it went up by £150 for my car
10:12 pm
for moving from one side of the road to the other. nothing had changed. no points, no claims, no nothing. and in fact, i was, you know, a year older when this happened.soit you know, a year older when this happened. so it doesn't make sense.i happened. so it doesn't make sense. i think the insurance companies need explain companies really need to explain themselves . and if we're paying themselves. and if we're paying for bad for other people's bad behaviour, see why we behaviour, i don't see why we then pay fees to then have to pay admin fees to change, address why we should have to pay up for other people's bad behaviour on the roads. it just beggars belief. >> claire far be it from me to defend the insurance industry, but i think the reason why the premiums are going up is because so many cars are being stolen now. i claire, it just now. and i think claire, it just tells something that's very tells us something that's very depressing, we depressing, which is we can't have nice things anymore . have nice things anymore. >> no, but we also expect an awful lot from our police . they awful lot from our police. they are expected to go after proper criminals for rape and sexual assault . we want them to assault. we want them to investigate burglaries, car crimes and what they're actually doing is being held up dealing with crimes from the internet.
10:13 pm
people has hurt feelings. and that needs to stop. so i think that needs to stop. so i think that we need to treat our police a lot better. we need to let them loose on the crimes that actually need solving and step away from somebody being a little offended and i think little bit offended and i think that start a lot to help that would start a lot to help also put more police out on the streets. i think if you see a visible presence, make a difference. >> very difficult, by the way, to attract these cars down, because in many cases they are out of the country within about 24 hours. and also in many cases, they're broken up . so cases, they're broken up. so they break up and they take the parts and flog off the parts. so very, very difficult crime for the police to solve . the police to solve. >> david, i was moved by jenny's story. how much does your bentley cost to insure . your bentley? >> how much? oh, my bentley. i don't have a bentley anymore. but i do have a range rover , but i do have a range rover, which i'm living in the country. so my insurance is not quite as bad as my friend's, but it did absolutely rock it up . and i absolutely rock it up. and i
10:14 pm
think, you know, people with cars like that are penalised very badly. >> well, listen , the car crime >> well, listen, the car crime emails are coming in. have you been a victim? mark gbnews.com. my pundits are back at 1030 with the papers, but coming up in a world exclusive, as the late queen elizabeth's childhood friend slams meghan markle and expresses sympathy for harry, i'll get reaction from the queen of us showbiz royal and political reporting. kinsey schofield . plus, we've been schofield. plus, we've been asking with irritation around halloween growing , should halloween growing, should britain put two fingers up to american holidays ? well, the american holidays? well, the results are in. i shall reveal all
10:15 pm
10:16 pm
10:17 pm
don't have enough police officers to take on a crowd that large anyway, it would more pnsons large anyway, it would more prisons earlier on gb news radio i >> sarah's not happy about the cost of car insurance . high mark cost of car insurance. high mark car theft will be pushing insurance costs up, but so will the damage caused by electric cars . if they hit something, the cars. if they hit something, the damage is ten times worse . as damage is ten times worse. as ian says . mark i rang for the
10:18 pm
ian says. mark i rang for the cheapest quote for my car today with no changes except one extra year of no claims bonus. and it's risen from £491 to 1332. that's more than double ian . i'm that's more than double ian. i'm really shocked to hear that. what an absolute scandal. keep those emails coming. mark at gbnews.com a lot of you very angry about car theft and indeed the cost of insuring your motor car. but it's time now for the results of our second and final mark dolan tonight night people's poll. with irritation around halloween growing, should britain two fingers up to britain put two fingers up to american holidays ? are they american holidays? are they a vulgar americanism ? well, 75.1% vulgar americanism? well, 75.1% say yes. 24.9% say no. so a big fat raspberry for halloween . fat raspberry for halloween. it's time now for us news with the queen of american showbiz royal and political reporting , royal and political reporting, kinsey schofield. who is anything but an american vulgarism. hi, kinsey . vulgarism. hi, kinsey. >> i know i'm sitting here
10:19 pm
thinking like we hate halloween. we hate americans here comes kinsey with her with her halloween bow tie. ready to go? >> oh, she's ready to go. listen, you make up for everything . let me tell you, everything. let me tell you, kinsey, our viewers and our listeners love having you on a saturday night. and let's talk about former close friend of about a former close friend of the late, great queen elizabeth who's been speaking out in regards to the sussexes. what she said . she said. >> yes. so this is her childhood friend, lady glenconner. you know , she actually was one of know, she actually was one of her ladies that was with her on her ladies that was with her on her coronation day. so sincerely, very close to queen elizabeth. she's recently released a book and she was talking to gyles brandreth on his rosebud podcast. and somehow and it always happens. you don't mean it to. but somehow they ended up on the subject of harry and meghan, and she felt she said she felt like meghan didn't have a realistic idea of what was expected of her as a duchess. perhaps she felt like
10:20 pm
this was another acting role . this was another acting role. and she said that she felt really sad for prince harry when where there was where the real gossip came. mark is she talks about how she introduced herself to john kerry , who's a diplomat to john kerry, who's a diplomat and a politician here in the united states at king charles's coronation. and i'm going to read this word for word because i'm going to be a little bit naughty here, mark. so john kerry when poked and kerry, when she poked him and asked him what the americans feel and meghan, he feel about harry and meghan, he says word. we all feel says word for word. we all feel very, very sorry for harry. i think i can just leave it at that. so i need to translate. this is american speak for you, mark. i want to translate this for you. we all feel very, very sorry for harry. i think i can just leave it at that. is harry is not the problem. am i wrong? like it sounds like he's saying that the problem he's .
10:21 pm
that the problem he's. sympathises with harry american sympathise with harry because they don't feel like he is ultimately problem ultimately the problem and that's what lady that's kind of what lady glenconner said. now want to glenconner said. now i want to stress this. john kerry's people came out and said he didn't remember having this conversation of denying conversation so kind of denying that it ever took place . but that it ever took place. but does a 91 year old lady have any reason to lie to gyles brandreth? i really don't think so. i'm going to go ahead . brandreth? i really don't think so. i'm going to go ahead. i'm just putting it out there that i think this is probably the truth. >> well, i love your american translate version. >> you always get the true words when it's american when it's the american translation . an and of course, translation. an and of course, these comments bring us tantalisingly close to understanding what the queen might have thought when she was around. >> agree. you know , and that's >> agree. you know, and that's why i do think that the queen had suggested to meghan markle continue acting , continue doing continue acting, continue doing what you want to do and what you've become so great at. because i don't think that the queen wanted to take anything away from her. and i think she wanted to allow meghan to stay
10:22 pm
in her comfort zone. but it was harry and meghan that insisted that they were going to become full time working royals while having meetings with having secret meetings with quibi on the side and talking to oprah winfrey six months after the wedding, before for megxit or anything , i really believe or anything, i really believe that they ultimately intended to. i think that they were planning on leaving the royal family long before we actually heard about it. doesn't surprise me. >> isn't it wonderful watching that footage of the late, great queen elizabeth? it just fills my heart with joy to see her again . she was a great again. she was a great stateswoman, of course , but very stateswoman, of course, but very frugal as well. not the only member of the family to count the pennies as kinsey , do you the pennies as kinsey, do you remember this was a scandal a reporter had gotten a job at the palace and it was supposed to be like some big inside scoop of how the royals really lived. >> and we found out she ate
10:23 pm
breakfast in, like, tuppennare. and it was like, oh , she's just, and it was like, oh, she's just, you know, grandma just like us. but you're absolutely right. she walked around and turned the lights off in rooms that people weren't using. she would squeeze lemon on her salmon and send the lemon, squeeze back to the kitchen for additional use. i mean , that's how frugal she was. mean, that's how frugal she was. she would not heat up the entire palace. she'd heat up individual rooms . she was very conscious rooms. she was very conscious about that. and, you know, it's i think itjust makes her about that. and, you know, it's i think it just makes her even more lovable because it reminds you of individuals in your household that are saying turn the lights out . or i know that the lights out. or i know that this shirt has a hole in it like king charles king charles wears things practically things until they practically disintegrate his body. he disintegrate off of his body. he wore a vintage suit to harry and meghan's but i love meghan's wedding. but i love heanng meghan's wedding. but i love hearing it because it reminds you of someone you know and love most. >> definitely. and of course , >> definitely. and of course, charles wants to cut his cloth in regards to the royal budget these days, negotiating with prince andrew. i think andrew's lost a quarter of £1 million a
10:24 pm
year already. dodi from the royal coffers and charles wants that monarchy to be a lean, mean fighting machine , doesn't he ? fighting machine, doesn't he? >> absolutely. and you're seeing that you're seeing prince william follow in his footsteps there, too. you know, there's an article in the daily mail talking about how the kids furniture is ikea. i would have never guessed in a royal estate, you would find ikea furniture . you would find ikea furniture. but there you have it . and so but there you have it. and so i do think it's just a it's a theme. it's a theme that's been wonderfully inherited throughout generations . generations. >> now, britney spears, certain has been probably still is one of the biggest stars in the world, a prodigiously talented singer . she was a child star singer. she was a child star then. singer. she was a child star then . she had a pop career. then. she had a pop career. she's made millions . she's and she's made millions. she's and she's released her autobiography. and it's really got the world talking. >> well, first of all, mark, have you read it? because if you have you read it? because if you have read it, you and i need to have read it, you and i need to have a conversation on this
10:25 pm
side. we have got you've got to read got to gossip. read it. we've got to gossip. i cannot to talk to you about cannot wait to talk to you about this. but yes. and a lot of the biggest scandals involve her ex—boyfriend, timberlake, biggest scandals involve her ex—boyfrie artist, timberlake, biggest scandals involve her ex—boyfrie artist, at1berlake, biggest scandals involve her ex—boyfrie artist, at the lake, huge solo artist, but at the time band in sync. time was in the band in sync. it's a you know, she says that she got pregnant. had she they got pregnant. she had an because he wasn't an abortion because he wasn't ready to be a father. she talks about and how she about their break—up and how she felt like really kind of felt like he really kind of manipulated the situation to where the press were hounding her. and he was this golden boy . her. and he was this golden boy. and it has had some real repercussions for justin timberlake today . i mean, these timberlake today. i mean, these are things that happened 25 or know, 20 years ago and he's had to shut up his instagram comments because people are harassing him online now. they're harassing his wife, who is an actress named jessica biel. i think that's really unfair . biel. i think that's really unfair. mark, this is an unpopular opinion, but i think it's time that we forgive justin timberlake and leave him alone. this stuff happened a long time ago. you know, if i if somebody
10:26 pm
judged me for things that happened with my ex—boyfriends, mark, i could be in jail right now. thank god they don't. >> well, indeed. now, madonna is still touring in her 60s, the rolling stones are number one at the age of 80in the album charts . do you think there's a way back for britney spears into the world of music ? world of music? >> hey, i think she's incredibly talented. i think her music is so much fun, but she she that her career and her talent was weaponize , used against her. she weaponize, used against her. she talks about how her father made her eat chicken and canned vegetables for two years straight while her family was up in destin, florida , on vacation, in destin, florida, on vacation, eating. you know, lobster and shrimp and all this delicious food on her dime in her condo in florida. i think she's got a lot of healing to do. and until she finds that passion again for performing gaming and until she wants to go there versus, you know, having flashbacks of somebody cracking the whip and making her do it, i think she's

and world war iii and that it was all going to come out of the out of the middle east and that the situation needed to be solved it needed to be solved and it needed to be addressed world was just addressed or the world was just going to blown up. i was going to be blown up. i was listening to sir peter hain the other day and he was talking about the comparison between this and northern ireland, which i had skin in that game because i had skin in that game because i was married to somebody from belfast and the fact of the matter is that diplomacy should never have stopped. and what we tend to do with the middle east is when nobody's fighting, nothing is going on. then we go on about our merry business. and then when they crank it up , then then when they crank it up, then all of a sudden everybody's standing up and they have something say and they have something to say and they have an and think we an opinion. and now i think we have what i've have finally reached what i've been waiting for, for all these decades, where the poop is really about to hit the fan. >> well, i think it is. i think i've answered my own question. and jenny has as well. >> do have in the game. >> we do have skin in the game. israel's to a degree, is our
10:36 pm
israel's war to a degree, is our war. claire it is. >> and i think what dave has said, it's really worrying where it happens it spills out and what happens next, because can see the next, because you can see the other regions getting involved. and what's important is and but what's more important is what happen with what is going to happen with israel and with palestinian citizens , not hamas, who are citizens, not hamas, who are a terrorist group , but the terrorist group, but the innocent civilians. where is it going to end and what kind of conclusion are we going to get out of this? because at the moment, you can't see how this ends than badly. ends other than badly. >> and what's your verdict of those people calling, including labour calling for labour backbenchers calling for a ceasefire? i think that you can't call for a ceasefire that just rewards a terrorist group. >> why shouldn't israel defend themselves? what i do think we needis themselves? what i do think we need is a humanitarian pause. is to get aid into there and get actually some of those vulnerable people out. you've got , elderly people, got people, elderly people, very sick people , babies in sick people, babies in hospitals. they can't move. even if netanyahu's given them a window of movement, they can't physically do so. so i think we need to be able to get those
10:37 pm
people out, get some supplies in medicine, water, the basics. >> but hamas wants to stop that happening, of course. >> the problem. >> and this is the problem. >> and this is the problem. >> in their interest let >> not in their interest to let it all. no indeed not. >> not in their interest to let it an all. no indeed not. >> not in their interest to let it an interestingdo indeed not. >> not in their interest to let it an interesting storered not. >> not in their interest to let it an interesting story in d not. >> an interesting story in regards to the next election and what the hot topics might be. jenny let me put this one to you, sunak king's speech to open green divide with labour. now, we know that that the prime minister , rishi sunak, has minister, rishi sunak, has slowed down the race to net zero a moratorium of five years for new petrol and diesel cars, gas boilers and the granting of oil and gas licences in the north sea . a big difference between sea. a big difference between labour's position on will it help sunak or hinder him ? help sunak or hinder him? >> it depends on who you think really is in control because i actually don't think that politicians really are in control. i think that business and corporations and private interests are who's really in control. and the fact of the matter is that on one hand, you
10:38 pm
have the youth, you know, you have the youth, you know, you have my son, claire's son, your children, and they're all about save the polar bears , save the save the polar bears, save the world. yeah, but then you have business and they're not focussed on save the polar bears. they're except for giving it lip service. they're interested on their bottom line. and when it comes down to it, nowadays , that's who wins. nowadays, that's who wins. >> well , indeed. well, of >> well, indeed. well, of course, my viewers and listeners have a bottom line, don't they? that's their energy bills. that's their energy bills. that's cost of a car that's the cost of running a car or buying a new one. so do you think that sunak's overtures might might actually be an advantage him in the face of advantage for him in the face of keir starmer, talked about keir starmer, who's talked about borrowing more money invest borrowing more money to invest in renewable ? in green renewable? >> oh, absolutely think that >> oh, i absolutely think that it's it is to advantage it's that it is to his advantage and it will do him well. do i agree with what he's saying? not not particularly. >> well, what do you think about this dividing line now between labour and the tories on net zero? it a smart move from zero? is it a smart move from sunak or desperate last sunak or a desperate last attempt ? attempt? >> it feels a little bit more like a desperate last attempt, even though i agree with
10:39 pm
dropping some green dropping some of the green measures, it hasn't made a difference the polls. and i difference in the polls. and i thought that was quite interesting. all interesting. when you saw all the announcements at conference and that to the and just before that to the polls out now, they polls coming out now, they haven't shifted. it doesn't seem to have boosted the government's chances of getting in next time . chances of getting in next time. so i'm sure that this is so i'm not sure that this is going move it either , even going to move it either, even though fundamentally agree though i fundamentally agree with what he's doing. with some of what he's doing. >> i don't know whether, >> well, i don't know whether, david, this policy, this sort of diluting the part diluting of net zero on the part of sunak has quite landed of rishi sunak has quite landed yet, they've got a year to yet, but they've got a year to sell that message . sell that message. >> my viewers listeners are >> my viewers and listeners are struggling and i think they'll appreciate a message from number 10, which is that we're on your side. >> absolutely. yeah i mean, things need to be more crystal clear, don't they ? you're clear, don't they? you're confusion is the one thing that we don't need an end. we need clear policies, i think. >> right. and i guess by pushing back on some of the extreme elements of net zero, that's reassurance for people who are thinking what's going to happen
10:40 pm
to the cost of energy bill, all the rest of it. listen, another developing story , this courtesy developing story, this courtesy of the sun newspaper for and it's a bit of a shocker, if i'm honest with you, sue grey's son is running to become the labour mp for a plum seat at the next election. labour activist liam conlon is battling to be the candidate for beckenham and pengein candidate for beckenham and penge in south london. this comes just months after the sun on sunday revealed claims that he'd been boasting that he was being groomed for a safe labour seat. now this is awkward. clare and can tell us why . sue and you can tell us why. sue gray of course, supposedly neutral civil servant a few months later. >> indeed, this is sue gray, who headed up the civil service and then decided to go and be chief of staff to sir keir starmer. and it's no surprise that her son was going to follow in those footsteps. he was already photographed being an activist. i putting him into plum i think putting him into a plum seat ridiculous . i'm sure seat is ridiculous. i'm sure there are probably lots of local labour candidates who would be very good and just feels very good and it just feels a little like nepotism gone
10:41 pm
little bit like nepotism gone mad behalf of the labour mad on behalf of the labour party. well indeed. >> and it's worse look for >> and it's a worse look for keir who understand keir starmer, who i understand had meetings, certainly allegedly meetings sue allegedly had meetings with sue gray whilst she was still a senior civil servant, which might have rather gone against her code of conduct. >> exactly. and i said at the time, i would wonder what sue gray would have to say about sue gray would have to say about sue gray because she was always a real stickler for the rules and i was employed under her remit back in 2018 at the home office and she was frightening. so i think that she would have viewed her own behaviour as pretty appalling if that was true, if those meetings did take place and meetings happened and those meetings happened without recorded properly , without being recorded properly, i think she would have come down on herself like a tonne of bricks, like a tonne of bricks. >> let's have look >> let's let's have a look at some other stories. as some of these other stories. as banned hate mob call to banned jihadi hate mob call to act shout allahu act as protesters shout allahu allahu akbar and praise hamas heroism. it's very critical, isn't it, jenny, that we have free speech in this country, freedom to protest as well. have

10:43 pm
that we live in, where we're all cheek by jowl with each other, that that you can't have people shouting against the jews and people shouting against the palestinians. i don't think that that accomplishes anything to you. >> right. look, lots more from my brilliant pundits tonight. more front pages coming in thick and fast . plus, they'll be and fast. plus, they'll be nominating their headline heroes. page zeros . and heroes. and back page zeros. and we're going to do something quite jilly quite special because jilly coopen quite special because jilly cooper, the sex author, has complained about the disappearance of the macho man. so we're going to have a look at a handful male celebrities . a handful of male celebrities. and my pundits are going to rate them of ten in the macho them out of ten in the macho ometer . that's next. see you ometer. that's next. see you into .
