3:07 pm
sunakis criticised the police. rishi sunak is under increasing pressure with allies on the right of the party, warning the prime minister, if you come for her, come for us. while her, you come for us. while northern irish politicians are claiming she's managed to offend everyone and has to go. chance jeremy hunt has distanced himself from bravermans choice of language . of language. >> well, as many other cabinet ministers have said, the words that she used are not words that i myself would have used, but i have a productive relationship with her as a colleague, and i've always given her the money that she needs to fund the police, bring down crime and to fund the immigration and asylum system. >> well, suella has survived the day. and let's speak to gb news political correspondent olivia utley now. olivia and the knives have been out now for a couple of days. rishi still has full confidence. normally, if you're a football manager, that means you're about to get the chop. she's been called a pound shop. enoch powell by a northern irish mp eastward. but a lot of people has to be said, rallying around
3:08 pm
a lee anderson, sir edward lee and lots on the conservative right saying come for suella you come for all of us. this issue is completely dividing politics. two days on. >> well, absolutely . and that's >> well, absolutely. and that's the issue for rishi sunak . the issue for rishi sunak. whatever he does now, he's going to be in very hot water indeed . to be in very hot water indeed. there are about 15, maybe 60 conservative mps on the right of the party who are staunchly behind suella braverman, and as you say, have basically said to the prime minister, come for her, you come for me. now, the last thing that rishi sunak wants to do is remove suella from the front benches and put her on the back benches where a pied piper like she will amass a crowd of supportive mps and probably cause a lot more trouble for him than she's causing by his side. on the other hand, he has moderates breathing down his neck to those on the left of the party, if you like , who are saying quite like, who are saying quite openly that she's dangerous , openly that she's dangerous, that she's irresponsible , that that she's irresponsible, that she used inflammatory language
3:09 pm
unbefitting of a home secretary and saying that they'll kick up and saying that they'll kick up a fuss unless he gets rid of her. so he's got a really difficult decision on his hands at the moment, compounded by the fact that the longer he waits, the stands open to the more he stands open to criticisms that he is weak for simply not doing anything at all. it now looks i've been wrong before and i might well be wrong before and i might well be wrong again, but it looks now as though he's going to. she is going to survive the weekend, but it could be that early next week. sunak does a bit of week. rishi sunak does a bit of a wider reshuffle as perhaps a more elegant way of solving the suella braverman problem. reshuffle has been rumoured for a while now anyway, but if he does go with that option, then who on earth would he give the job home secretary to? he's job of home secretary to? he's got plenty of allies within in the someone like robert the party. someone like robert jenrick of rishi jenrick, a natural ally of rishi sunaks for done pretty well by all accounts in the immigration brief. could he promote someone like that? but that would mean that the right of the party wouldn't be happy with him at all. rid someone like
3:10 pm
all. getting rid of someone like braverman and replacing her with someone jen ? wouldn't someone like jen? eric wouldn't go well at all. so what on go down well at all. so what on earth does rishi sunak do now? he's going be puzzle ing it he's going to be puzzle ing it out over this difficult weekend . out over this difficult weekend. >> you know, olivia, there's a lot people out there, people lot of people out there, people at the spectator, at the daily telegraph, political journalist, seasoned political journalist, saying can't get of saying they can't get rid of suella because they get rid suella because if they get rid of basically surrenders. of suella, basically surrenders. it surrenders to starmer, it surrenders to the likes of sadiq khan, surrenders to the khan, it surrenders to the liberal media, the kind of people who never vote people who would never vote conservative take conservative anyway. why take the knee to that lot? surely what they're saying is it's time to take a stand. it's time to actually show conservative values. people like lee anderson, has be said, anderson, it has to be said, thousand thousands and thousand and thousands and thousands commenting thousands of people commenting across conservative media across the conservative media are saying suella braverman is precisely what the conservatives need rid of her, the need if they get rid of her, the party is doomed . well exactly. party is doomed. well exactly. >> and i think that'll be quite a compelling point to rishi sunak.i a compelling point to rishi sunak . i mean, the fact that sunak. i mean, the fact that rishi sunak hired suella
3:11 pm
braverman in the first place suggests that he is mindful of all of that suella braverman is not natural rishi sunak ally not a natural rishi sunak ally and she'd been sacked the week before liz truss for alleged before by liz truss for alleged security concerns . so the very security concerns. so the very fact that he brought her into the fold suggests that he does realise that there are a lot of voters the country who are voters in the country who are deeply, about deeply, deeply worried about mass migration like suella mass migration and like suella braverman sort of muscular approach to the issue. as you say, it could be that in the coming weeks and months, as the tensions over palestine and israel get ever more difficult , israel get ever more difficult, that it might be that there is a big backlash in the wider voting pubuc big backlash in the wider voting public against the whole concept of multiculturalism and mass migration. and if that is the case, then surely rishi sunak needs someone like suella braverman someone who's going to be really muscular on this issue by his side going into the next election . it could be that election. it could be that actually suella braverman has never as strong as she is how. >> now. >> and olivia, significant
3:12 pm
development in the last few moments and that is 2000. police are now being drafted in to london tomorrow to make sure there is no trouble on armistice day from all of the uk. cops have been drafted in a significant ramping up of security as compared to an ordinary year. so it seems that suella fears of this march going ahead at all and her fears around it being policed adequately are being listened to in one respect. and that is this is a serious beefing up of the boots on the ground, as it were. and another point, olivia, is if they did give her the boot this week and things did happen and the policing was shown to be soft, she'd have been a martyr. she be vindicated . so for she would be vindicated. so for that she had to survive. that reason, she had to survive. at least a week. and surely, well , definitely. well, definitely. >> that is another argument that rishi sunak will be bearing in mind over this weekend. there is a school of thought in westminster that suella braverman quite like to be braverman would quite like to be sacked. we all know that an election is coming, that the
3:13 pm
conservatives are probably going to election that conservatives are probably going to that election that conservatives are probably going to that pointzlection that conservatives are probably going to that point rishi)n that conservatives are probably going to that point rishi sunak that conservatives are probably going to that point rishi sunak would at that point rishi sunak would almost stand down. who almost certainly stand down. who would replace him? there are lots of people who think that suella braverman would quite like to that person, and if like to be that person, and if she positions as the she positions herself as the hero the tory, right by being hero of the tory, right by being tough on issue that a lot tough on this issue that a lot of voters really care about, she could be in prime position to take over as conservative leader come next autumn as you say, it looks at the moment as though suella bravermans fears are being realised for previous palestinian pro—palestinian marches . there have been about marches. there have been about a thousand police on the streets of london. now another 2000 have been drafted in. that suggests that the met police has real concerns over what could transpire over this weekend. and as you say, suella braverman by the end of next week, could end up looking like a prime, pathetic political martyr , if pathetic political martyr, if you like. >> do you think olivia , that >> do you think olivia, that what's happening here is that long standing divisions within the conservative party have been brought rudely and aggressively
3:14 pm
and nakedly into view ? first it and nakedly into view? first it was europe and they just about stumbled through the barbed wire on brexit. they pretended at least through a rictus grin, to be unified and get brexit done , be unified and get brexit done, even if they were complete. remainers they got through that immigration has been another huge rift net zero, another huge rift. multi culturalism. and now these march days. and do you think a lot of people are saying this from within the conservative ranks, the tory party faithful, the comments section on the telegraph and the mail are apocalyptic. they think here towards here is a party marching towards the cliff, a zombie party, a zombie parliament, a zombie government heading for annihilation, and maybe these kind of rifts are being brought into view by people like suella braverman because the party needs to decide what it stands for and if its going to be a proper conservative party then when get wiped out, when they get wiped out, braverman and braverman will swoop in and regroup. the party along the proper concern . native populist proper concern. native populist right . right. >> well, there is certainly a
3:15 pm
school of thought that believes that the conservative party for a long time has been a pretty fragile broad church, the sort of party that, you know, five years ago could house both jacob rees—mogg and dominic grieve on the issue of brexit. seems like a pretty disparate party. now, of course, we're seeing something similar with the issue of these marches that the issues of these marches that the issues of multiculturalism that they have raised and those like suella braverman who would like a much more robust approach to immigration, as you say, it could well be that following a potentially catastrophic defeat at the next election, the tories could decide that they need a sort of cleaning out of the party. they could decide to veer to the right, as we've seen before. and of course there is precedent for that across europe . in italy, for example, giorgia meloni , a very, very who has meloni, a very, very who has a very, very robust approach to migration, has has taken the reins in germany. the polish right has has risen up, not yet in power, but certainly on the
3:16 pm
rise. and across europe, we are seeing the rise of these right wing parties who are very, very strict on borders and on immigration. it could well be that following an election, the tories decide to do something similar. and if that is the case, then suella braverman whatever happens this week could well be the person to take over . well be the person to take over. >> olivia utley superb as ever . >> olivia utley superb as ever. great punchy start to the show. thank you very much for joining us. now moving on, shadow financial secretary james murray has accused rishi sunak of paralysis on this issue. >> frankly , the rishi sunak is >> frankly, the rishi sunak is in a mess because he can't he can't bring himself to say that he agrees with what suella braverman said, but he also can't seem to bring himself to saka and frankly, the country needs stronger, stable leadership . leadership. >> okay , let's speak now to gb >> okay, let's speak now to gb news senior political commentator nigel nelson . nigel, commentator nigel nelson. nigel, once again, the tories are revolting. no doubt you always think they have been revolting, but i want to pick you up on one particular point and that is
3:17 pm
this the labour party bandying around the issue of a breach of ministerial code and that's why suella braverman should go. how much beef do you think that's got ? got? >> quite a bit of it because on the surface that's exactly what she's done and what the ministerial code says is if she does an article deal for a newspaper, it should be pass through the number 10 press office. now she appears to have showed it to the press office, but not made the changes that were requested . and so you're were requested. and so you're not just talking about a breach of the ministerial code there. she's also breaching cabinet collective response ability by not doing what number 10 asked. >> the reason i ask you about that, nigel, is because you will know that breaching the ministerial code, that's not an automatic red card . it's to the automatic red card. it's to the discretion of the party leader, the prime minister or of course people can voluntarily resign. and the reason i specifically mention it in this case is because plenty of labour ministers have breached the code
3:18 pm
historically, notably and recently david lammy breached it in august last year for failing to register a total of 16 interests on time , including a interests on time, including a fat payment. he got from black history month . so presumably if history month. so presumably if we're going to apply this law with uniformity, you want me to go to you? >> well, not quite, because, i mean, david lammy is a shadow foreign secretary, not the foreign secretary, not the foreign secretary. oh ministerial code applies to ministers hours, so it may well be that what you just outlined would be a breach of parliamentary rules. but certainly not the ministerial code. certainly not the ministerial code . what it comes to suella code. what it comes to suella braverman what rishi sunak should have done and this is where labour is right, is that if he decides and, and again, you're right. martin it's his decision. the prime minister's decision, he should have actually sacked her yesterday rather than rather than letting her hang on. >> here's another point. nigel i
3:19 pm
wonder what's best for the labour party if she goes and if she's replaced by somebody i don't know, like oliver dowden , don't know, like oliver dowden, you know, sensible fellow, safe pair of hands, but won't set the world on fire. but if she stays, doesn't that give the labour party more angles of attack? doesn't this keep the mayhem going? so what do the labour party actually want out of this ? party actually want out of this? >> well, i think the labour, the labour party want the right outcome and the right outcome is probably suella braverman to be sacked . now what rishi sunak can sacked. now what rishi sunak can do is put another right winger in her place and he wants to actually placate his right wing at the moment suella braverman is making priti patel look like a liberal democrat so he could even bring her back to the home office. >> news just then. nigel that 2000 police officers have been shipped in and the met and they've been shipped in from outside of london to make sure there is no trouble tomorrow at armistice day. a lot of people
3:20 pm
are still quite fearful that there may be some trouble. do you think that if anything, does happen, the police do appear happen, if the police do appear to be soft, soapy towards the protesters as they have been historically, then braverman will have been vindicated. and for that reason she can't be sacked . sacked. >> yeah, i'm not saying i don't think that we're going to see any movement on that front over the weekend anyway . the best way the weekend anyway. the best way of actually shifting suella braverman at the moment would be a cabinet reshuffle early next week, but yes, you're right. i mean, this is the political problem that rishi sunak is facing. should the demonstration tomorrow turn violent ? what tomorrow turn violent? what suella braverman can say is, well, look, i told you so. yeah so it's better to have basically can make that decision later. there's also the danger, as olivia has just said , you've got olivia has just said, you've got about 50 tory mps who are strong supporters of the home secretary . that's the kind of figure you need for a no confidence vote. so rishi sunak must be mindful
3:21 pm
that that doesn't happen either. >> the storm storm suella rumbles on. nigel nelson , thank rumbles on. nigel nelson, thank you very much for joining us rumbles on. nigel nelson, thank you very much forjoining us on you very much for joining us on the patrick christys show. always a pleasure. now more, more on that news story. the 2000 police officers will be on duty across central london tomorrow for the whole of the remembrance weekend as part of a major policing operation . the major policing operation. the met says it's using special powers to protect key. remember events and locations and significantly, pro—palestine protesters taking part in tomorrow's march will be banned from the area around the cenotaph in whitehall. to repeat , the protesters will be banned from the march around the areas surrounding the cenotaph in whitehall. that's a significant news line. met chiefs say that anyone believed to be part of or associated with the pro—palestinian demonstration trying to assemble in this area
3:22 pm
can be arrested. the cenotaph will also be protected by a round the clock police guard . round the clock police guard. that's a significant change of position and something i think many people were hoping would happen. we'll have more on tomorrow's pro—palestine march a little later, of course , in this little later, of course, in this houn little later, of course, in this hour. and there's plenty of coverage on our website on that and lots of other stories. gb news dot com. and you've helped that to make it the fastest growing national news website in the country . so thank you very the country. so thank you very much . now, kids in bristol much. now, kids in bristol missed school today because they were taking part in an event called school strike for palace . called school strike for palace. stein what on earth are they doing with their children? i'm martin daubney, standing in for patrick christys on gb news. this is britain's news

3:27 pm
today missed school and wait for it in support of palestine. people's took part in an event called school strike for palestine. china fish helped to organise these events. >> it's only one day we feel that this is a really pertinent time and really important time that we use our voices in any way we can. now that almost 5000 children have been killed by israel since the 7th of october, we as parents and the children, we as parents and the children, we all feel so concerned that we need to help stop any more killings of children. so the focus today is all about children and saving children's lives. i've been involved in free palestine movement for a long time. i went to palestine in 2011 and 2013 and this is the first time ever that i've heard that accusation to that slogan, an and simply it's untrue . if an and simply it's untrue. if
3:28 pm
you look at the geography of the area, the land , and it's saying area, the land, and it's saying from the west bank to gaza . so from the west bank to gaza. so it's from the river to the sea , it's from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. it's nothing to do with the insinuate and connotations that annihilation of israel . not at annihilation of israel. not at all. we're all about peace for everyone . we want peace in the everyone. we want peace in the land, in the region, for everyone . so that is not true to everyone. so that is not true to a young child. it's difficult. it's really difficult. there's some resources that are really good through unicef and stop the war, and that's really helpful to make it soft and gentle. we don't want children to feel overwhelmed or too upset. you know, obviously they're hearing about it from the media anyway. so there's good resources out there in how to approach that with the child . with the child. >> now, what do you make of that? i mean, should should children be political pawns? i mean, this event was organised by bristol stop the war coalition. that's jeremy

3:35 pm
newspaper that's associated newspaper is limited. now, they their law firm, hamlins, has released a joint statement on behalf of prince harry and the other claimants, saying their delight with today's decision, which allows our claims over serious criminal activity and gross breaches of privacy by the mail titles to proceed to trial. and we intend to uncover the truth at the trial and hold those responsible at associated newspapers fully accountable. now, the publisher of the mail associated newspapers, firmly denies all the allegations made against them. and a preliminary heanngsin against them. and a preliminary hearings in march. they asked asked the judge to throw out this case entirely because they believed that the claimants cases have been filed far too late after the fact . but but mr late after the fact. but but mr justice nicklin this morning released his judgements where he said that associated newspapers had not been able to deliver what he described as a knockout blow to the claims, which means
3:36 pm
that all seven claimants, the judge believes , have a real judge believes, have a real prospect of demonstrating that associated newspapers concealed relevant facts and stops them from bringing the claims against the publisher a lot earlier. but of course , all of these claims of course, all of these claims and counter—claims now have to go forward to a full blown trial . so there's been no conclusions here today. we have a new heanng here today. we have a new hearing date set for the 21st of november. but in terms of full blown trial, i predict it's going to be a lot later on. it does open the possibility to the fact that we will see prince harry back in court to give evidence as to why he believes he is a victim of unlawful information gathering, which is what he. sir elton john, baroness lawrence and others are suing the publisher of the mail associated newspapers for . but associated newspapers for. but this is just one of six civil cases. prince harry is currently dragging through the courts for against british tabloids and two
3:37 pm
against british tabloids and two against the british government >> okay. cameron walker, thank you for that update. well, ginger ginger will get his moment . now moving on, let's get moment. now moving on, let's get more on tomorrow's highly controversial pro palestine march in central london. it will be the fifth consecutive saturday in a row that thousands of people have descended on the caphal of people have descended on the capital. but tomorrow's event is a especially contentious because, of course, it will take place on armistice day . the place on armistice day. the cenotaph is set to be protected by around the clock police guard and 2000 officers from the met and 2000 officers from the met and other uk forces will be shipped in to be on duty across central london for the whole of the remembrance weekend as part of a major policing operation in. well, to get a veteran's view, i'm joined now by the magnificent colonel richard kemp , a huge fan of yours and a great fan of the show. colonel kemp, you just heard that breaking news line there. the police, the metropolitan police are ramping up security . 2000 are ramping up security. 2000 officers and the breaking line,
3:38 pm
they said they will arrest anybody. they believe to be with anybody. they believe to be with a pro—palestine march or protest in or around the cenotaph . you in or around the cenotaph. you wanted these marches banned earlier this week. are you satisfied with this latest development ? development? >> well, it's better than doing nothing, i suppose . nothing, i suppose. >> i think the most important thing is to avoid any kind of clashes between these pro hamas protesters and those people who were there to pay their respects to men and women who fell in battle fighting exactly that same ideology. so that's as long as that happens, that's a good thing, of course. but if there's any question, then , you know, any question, then, you know, these people have been marching for four weeks now in support of a effectively of a terrorist organisation. and i'm not suggesting there aren't people there who are who are there out of sympathy for palestinian
3:39 pm
civilians . of sympathy for palestinian civilians. i'm sure there are. but let's get many of these protesters are shouting jihad and they're shouting and chanting. from the river to the sea, which means violent terrorist ism and the elimination of the state of israel. so if there's any if there's any any question of prioritisation , the police prioritisation, the police should prioritise the remembrance events and move up, move away as rapidly as far as possible . anyone who attempts to possible. anyone who attempts to interfere with it and colonel kemp aside from tomorrow's march march protest, what's the mood in the veterans community party about the past four weeks, about the desecration , often of war the desecration, often of war memorials, about about the march still taking place on this sacred day? >> what kind of emotions are the armed forces veterans telling you about they're experiencing ? you about they're experiencing? well i'm in touch with some veterans . veterans. >> i've been out of the country now for the last four weeks. but but i've still been in touch on
3:40 pm
social media and other means with with some veterans . and with with some veterans. and there's clearly a great deal of discontent at not only about the potential for clashes with remembrance events and about intimidation that we've seen pictures of intimidation of poppies sellers and potentially even an assault on one poppy seller and various other events by pro palestinian pro hamas supporters . so that's clearly supporters. so that's clearly something that they are disgusted by many of these people, many veterans , including people, many veterans, including myself, know and you a large number of our comrades who fell in battle. and in my case, i've got a family members from from considerable time ago who also fell in war in the first world war and the second world war. and so i think know among among the veteran community as well as among the families of the deceased, i think, you know,
3:41 pm
feelings are particularly strong that these events should not be disrupted or interfered . disrupted or interfered. >> scenes have lost. colonel kemp there. he's live from tel aviv. maybe his internet signal is unstable. i was about to ask him if he knew or heard as i have of veteran is going along tomorrow because i've heard some reports and i wanted to try and confirm them with colonel kemp about security, not just on those who are protesting, but will there be any additional security to those going in to pay security to those going in to pay their respects . this is pay their respects. this is colonel colonel kemp back with us now. colonel kemp, we just lost you momentarily there. i don't know how much of that you probably hear. i'll start probably didn't hear. i'll start again. heard? i've again. have you heard? i've heard britain , as well heard this in britain, as well as the additional security measures to keep protesters away. rightly so. i think we can all agree that's a good thing. i'd heard rumours of increased security even on veterans going in. they would have to prove that they were somehow affiliated to get close to the
3:42 pm
cenotaph themselves. have you heard anything along those lines ? >> 7. >>i 7_ >> i haven't 7 >> i haven't heard about what about that? i think sensible security measures are a wise thing to do, providing it doesn't prevent whether it's veterans or anyone else who wants to pay their respects on armistice day or remembrance sunday but what i have heard, which i think is very disturbing , is that the advice has been given by at least some regimental headquarters to their veterans who are planning to go to take part in armistice day events and remembrance sunday events, not to wear their medals, not to wear their regimental regalia insignia on the way there. when they get there, put them on, but don't do anything to identify yourself before you go, which is to my mind, that's if it's true and mind, if that's if it's true and if that's if the reason for it is because of the pro—hamas protests , then i think that's protests, then i think that's a really sad indictment on the state of this country today. yeah i think many, many people
3:43 pm
would echo that. >> i mean , i i'm just lost for >> i mean, i i'm just lost for words. i'm lost for words that we've got to a position where men and women who fought for their country are being advised not to wear medals on the way to remembrance services in case it puts them at danger. yeah, that's actually happening. is it ? >> well, 7— >> well, i've ? >> well, i've i've 7 >> well, i've i've certainly seen emails sent to some veterans who are taking part in the official parades to that effect. and of course , we you effect. and of course, we you know, many of us remember back to the days of the ira terrorist campaign when soldiers were advised not to wear their uniforms when they were travelling or when they were off duty because of the terrorist threat to them, which is a reasonable thing to do in that times. but i wasn't i certainly wasn't aware that anyone's ever been advised not to wear their medals. a veteran or wear medals. as a veteran or wear insignia when, you know, taking part in remembrance. but but i
3:44 pm
don't know what the reason is. it was just stated as being on the letter. i saw was stated as being do not wear it until you get actually to the event. so i can only surmise and as i say, if it's if it is if it is true, then it's a terrible thing to have to tell. i would say to tell veterans who should be they should be proud of their service and everyone around them should be proud because these people have fought and in some cases been severely wounded for their country's . country's. >> i'm just lost for words . >> i'm just lost for words. colonel richard kemp, thank you very much for joining colonel richard kemp, thank you very much forjoining us. thank you. what do you make of that out there? what do you make of that vet marines being told not to wear insignia or medals on the way to remembrance in case they're attacked? where are we? what's happening was that say about where we're at? does that feel like we're surrendering or giving in? i'm really moved by that. giving in? i'm really moved by that . let's move on. the good that. let's move on. the good news is the uk economy did
3:45 pm
3:48 pm
3:49 pm
have the latest on suella braverman future. as pressure grows on rishi sunak to sack his home secretary but wherever you look these days, it seems like people are on strike. and now around 500 workers at scottish water have walked out. the dispute is about pay and grading . the union unite says talks with scottish water have been a waste of time. it's been reported that three senior staff members have received more than £1 million each in bonuses in 2021. well, let's speak now to gb news of scotland. reporter tony maguire, who's outside scottish water's headquarters in glasgow. tony, what's the latest that. >> well, indeed , this was the >> well, indeed, this was the first day of essentially a 48 days of strikes spread across the next 12 weeks unless , of the next 12 weeks unless, of course, a deal can be struck before then. now, today, i spoke to lots of members of the gmb union who were out here picketing in the early hours of this morning, passing their way through the fog, you know, and
3:50 pm
talking about the way talking to them about the way that feel that scottish that they feel that scottish power, water, sorry, power, scottish water, sorry, has bypassed the has completely bypassed the traditional collective bargaining methods used for this pay bargaining methods used for this pay deal that was proposed by scottish water. will they propose 8% if they would agree to this new grading system , to this new grading system, which unfortunately would see the lowest earners at scottish water lose up to £5,000 per year? is now humza yousaf, scotland's first minister. he came under quite a bit of pressure in qus yesterday and asked to explain the situation, but he defended that the extremely high salaries and the bonuses for these executives at scottish water saying that they needed to offer high salaries in order to attract the best talent for those positions. he also then went on to explain that the welsh water salary, the ceo of that company makes about 100,000 more than that in scotland and indeed other water, other water
3:51 pm
companies. the ceo is up to a million, almost. so this is the start. but we've got a long way to go as we head into the depths of winter. >> okay. tony maguire, thank you for that update . now moving on, for that update. now moving on, the uk economy has flatlined with the office for national statistics recording no growth in the last quarter , but we've in the last quarter, but we've just about skirted a recession with gdp figures rising . by 0.2% with gdp figures rising. by 0.2% in september. the chancellor reassures this month's autumn statement will get the economy growing. health early again. but shadow chancellor rachel reeves says the tories have failed the economy . economy. >> well, the numbers today show the economy is flatlining and it confirms what the bank of england predicted just last week , that through the rest of this year and through all of 2024, the uk economy is likely to see no growth whatsoever . the tories no growth whatsoever. the tories plan has failed and as a result, working people are worse off.
3:52 pm
okay we're here to break down the latest figures. >> it's liam halligan gb news economics and business editor with, of course, on the money . with, of course, on the money. okay, liam , let's start with the okay, liam, let's start with the big picture gdp. we're doing okay despite brexit and we're doing better than france and germany. >> we're doing okay, but it's pretty thin gruel. martin. you know, the whole of the western world is suffering. we've had all these interest rate rises, 14 successive rate rises in the uk that the bank of england has, of course, held rates at in the last couple of months. but they're still 5.25, a very high interest rates compared to recent years. that's slowing the economy down. that's hammering people with mortgages and personal loans . that's hammering personal loans. that's hammering company balance sheets . they're company balance sheets. they're offloading debt. they're not investing . consumers feel down. investing. consumers feel down. and all that's reflected in these gdp numbers, gross domestic product , the sum total domestic product, the sum total of all the transactions in the economy, though, as you say , it
3:53 pm
economy, though, as you say, it could have been worse. let's have at scores on the have a look at the scores on the doors. was down 0.6% in doors. gdp was down 0.6% in july, compared to the previous month, up a smidge , 0.1. that's month, up a smidge, 0.1. that's a technical term in august again compared to the previous month. and here's the number that came out this morning in september , out this morning in september, gdp grew by 0.2. a lot of economists thought it would contract again, but that means if you add up those three in the third quarter, as we say, july to september, the third quarter of the year, we had nought percent growth. that's why people say the economy is flatlining. rachel reeves is correct in that sense. the economy is stagnant, but we have avoided a recession. a recession is when you get two consecutive quarters of contracting gdp . we quarters of contracting gdp. we haven't even had one consecutive quarter. now as it happens a bit of schadenfreude. germany is in recession. in fact, the eurozone, as a whole is in recession now. almost certainly germany definitely is. it looks as if the uk is going to avoid that. >> so the eurozone is in recession. is that because of
3:54 pm
brexit? well i think germany was in the eu last time i looked, but let's not look. >> we the european union to >> we want the european union to do well. they're big trading partners of ours, aren't they? but it is interesting that the uk , it is outperforming, albeit uk, it is outperforming, albeit at a pretty low level. some of the major continental economies for now. yeah >> can i talk about apple? you can. this pertains to the european union because of course, apple moved to the repubuc course, apple moved to the republic ireland because of republic of ireland because of their favourable their very favourable corporation rate, 12.5, corporation tax rate, 12.5, except now the eu want their money back. >> this goes all the way back to the early 2000. the republic of ireland , where my family hail ireland, where my family hail from. they've been extremely good at attracting multi nationals, largely because they have a very young, driven , an have a very young, driven, an very well educated, very customer friendly workforce . of customer friendly workforce. of course, a lot of young irish people now aren't leaving their nafive people now aren't leaving their native land the way my family did and many others over many, many years . and of course, on many years. and of course, on top of that, they've got a very favourable corporation tax
3:55 pm
regime. got this thing regime. they've got this thing called irish, where called the double irish, where you end paying almost no you can end up paying almost no corporation and so they've corporation tax. and so they've attracted the tech attracted some of the big tech giants there, least apple, giants there, not least apple, google, know, a chunk of google, you know, a big chunk of their headquarters are their european headquarters are in elsewhere . and in dublin and elsewhere. and when and visit dublin , i when you go and visit dublin, i mean, booming mean, it's absolutely booming construction everywhere, partly because . now, the because of that. now, the european doesn't like this european union doesn't like this . ireland, of course, they're the scouts of europe. they the good scouts of europe. they really love in the really love being in the european they like not european union. they like not being by the to being influenced by the uk to the extent that they were. and i totally understand that my totally understand that to my fingertips, culturally, ethnically , i understand that ethnically, i understand that that ireland really wants to throw in with the throw its lot in with the european the european european union, but the european union like that kind of union doesn't like that kind of dynamic side of irish dynamic side of the irish character where they're saying, look, won't pay look, we won't you won't pay corporation look, we won't you won't pay corpoyou»n look, we won't you won't pay corpoyou here. let's make it have you here. let's make it work for all sides . and so the work for all sides. and so the european union has been pressuring ireland and pressuring ireland and pressuring apple for many, many years for apple to pay, you know, almost a ,14 billion tax bill, 14 billion money back that's rolled up over many, many
3:56 pm
years. and the irish have resisted that despite the fact that they like being well regarded in brussels. and what's happened now is that a major adviser to the european court of justice s which of course oversees these cases across the european union corporate cases, they're saying that in the end, apple are going to have to pay this money. it's a blow for ireland, but i think dublin will keep fighting. >> liam halligan superb as ever. now carrying on 2000 cops will be on duty in central london over the weekend while the cenotaph clock cenotaph will be round the clock to that, patrick to protect that, i'm patrick christys on

4:09 pm
suella gate olivia utley rolling on. you'd expect starmer and sadiq khan, yvette cooper and the labour party to be going for it. but now it seems the battle is in turner. a battle perhaps for the future of the entire conservative party . conservative party. >> well, as you say, this is certainly it feels like a battle for the soul of the conservative party. really on the right of the party, you've got the allies of suella braverman. i'd say there are about 50 or 60 staunch allies of the home secretary who are standing by her, who are saying that what she said is just what the rest of the country thinks . king and they country thinks. king and they say goes , they will say that if she goes, they will kick up a right fuss. say that if she goes, they will kick up a right fuss . then on kick up a right fuss. then on the other side of the party, you've moderates, the you've got the moderates, the left the party, if you like, left of the party, if you like, who that she's who say that she's irresponsible, she's irresponsible, that she's dangerous , that the words that dangerous, that the words that she inflamma itri and she used are inflamma itri and that if she stays , they will that if she stays, they will kick up a right fuss. rishi sunak stranded somewhere in sunak is stranded somewhere in the middle. technically he
4:10 pm
doesn't have to sack her. i think the suella braverman's team can make a compelling case that she did not break the ministerial code . the ministerial code. the ministerial code. the ministerial code. the ministerial code states that any policy issues must be signed off by 10 downing street before appearing in a newspaper. but as the piece in the times didn't actually refer to specific policies, she can make a case that she was not breaking the code by publishing it without the sign off from number 10. but of course, the technicalities aren't the issue for rishi sunak. it's this political pressure that he's feeling from both sides . and of course, the both sides. and of course, the added pressure that if he doesn't make a decision quickly one way or the other, then he's open to accusations of weakness , open to accusations of weakness, that he's in a precarious political position and he is just beholden to the whims of mps in his own party, not capable of making any strategic executive decisions himself. these are all the things that are going to be running through his mind over this very, very difficult weekend . it'll be difficult weekend. it'll be really interesting to see what he at the beginning of next
4:11 pm
he does at the beginning of next week. rumour in westminster is week. a rumour in westminster is that do a wider that he could do a wider reshuffle early next week in reshuffle in early next week in order to sort of more elegantly solve braverman problem solve the braverman problem instead simply getting rid of instead of simply getting rid of her. could do this long her. he could do this long awaited has been awaited reshuffle that has been talked long time and talked about for a long time and sort of disguise if you like, that he is sacking suella braverman. would be braverman. whether that would be acceptable to her allies on the right of the party remains to be seen. i suspect not. but it would give an opportunity to would give him an opportunity to bnngin would give him an opportunity to bring in some fresh talent and shake bit after shake things up a bit after those brews by—election those two brews by—election defeats which we mustn't forget about because they weren't long ago. >> and olivia, this has come to a head over what suella braverman said was two tiered policing around this weekend's armistice day events and the pro—palestinian protest . and pro—palestinian protest. and indeed, you may have heard we just spoke to colonel richard kemp, who told us that military veterans from several regiments have been warned not to wear their medals or their insignia on the way to remembrance events
4:12 pm
in case of their safety. i find that utterly, utterly shameful . that utterly, utterly shameful. and we've also heard that 2000 police officers will be on duty. many roped in from different forces and a ring of steel effectively. olivia around the cenotaph and the whitehall area with the threat of arrest of anybody believed to be part of the pro—palestinian mob. so it seems suella had a point . seems suella had a point. >> yeah , absolutely. over the >> yeah, absolutely. over the last few weeks i've been reporting on these pro—palestine nine marches on every saturday and we've so far seen numbers of about 1000 police officers on the streets . so tomorrow, 2000 the streets. so tomorrow, 2000 police officers being drafted in and this, this, this ring of steel around the cenotaph does does point to a real beefing up of security in the run up to armistice day . what i'm armistice day. what i'm fascinated by is how the relationship between mark rowley, the met commissioner, and suella braverman, develops
4:13 pm
or deteriorates over the next couple of weeks. suella braverman has really quite openly criticised the met police there, which, you know , the there, which, you know, the merits of that can be debated. but it is almost unprecedented . but it is almost unprecedented. and mark rowley, for his part has sort of gone against the not quite the orders of suella braverman, but certainly the message coming out of the home office was she would like to have seen these marches banned and mark rowley had the capacity to do that on the grounds that policing them would just be too difficult. he didn't do that. was is now under fire from the home secretary and i can't see the relationship between the two of them getting any better over the next few weeks. if suella doesn't go, will mark rowley end up going? >> olivia it's come down to something vital, i think. and it's this many people, particularly veterans , listening particularly veterans, listening in now who feel that this country is changing rapidly and not in the, in a good way or seeing somebody like suella braverman stand up for those values, standing up for strong
4:14 pm
borders, standing up for protecting british institutions, standing up for protecting british values , as if suella british values, as if suella gets the chop and is replaced by somebody , shall we say, with somebody, shall we say, with softer values. this could be apocalypse for the tory party. it could be a wipe—out. it would show a party that many believe is no longer actually . conservative >> well, that will certainly be something that rishi sunak is beanng something that rishi sunak is bearing in mind over this weekend. is a school of weekend. there is a school of thought braverman thought that suella braverman wouldn't mind being wouldn't really mind being sacked. it's widely believed in westminster that the conservatives will lose the next election, possibly catastrophically . and in that catastrophically. and in that eventuality would expect eventuality we would expect rishi sunak stand down after. rishi sunak to stand down after. after that, it could well be that the conservatives start moving to right. there is a moving to the right. there is a general feeling reflected in polls across the country over the last few weeks that on the issue of migration, at least, the country is shifting a little bit rightwards. and if the conservatives were to lose an
4:15 pm
election, they might feel that the next approach , the approach the next approach, the approach to win the following election would be a more muscular approach to immigration. and if that's the case, someone like suella braverman could well be rising top . so even if rising to the top. so even if the home secretary either gets sacked or resigns in the coming days or weeks , i don't think days or weeks, i don't think this is the last we're going to see of her. >> indeed. olivia utley, thank you. live from westminster on the latest on the conservative civil war. now the shadow financial james financial secretary, james murray has accused rishi sunak of on this issue . of paralysis on this issue. >> frankly, the sunak is in a mess because he can't he can't bnng mess because he can't he can't bring himself to say that he agrees with what suella braverman said , but he also braverman said, but he also can't seem to bring himself to saka and frankly, the country needs stronger, stable leadership . leadership. >> okay, i'm joined now by political commentator benedict spence benedict. it's always a pleasure. i'd like to start with the situation, if i could , the situation, if i could, bannau. we have some breaking news on gb news from colonel richard kemp and that is that
4:16 pm
military veterans have been asked, warned by several regiments not to wear their medals or their insignia on the way to armistice or remembrance events . with that in mind and events. with that in mind and with what suella braverman was saying about the policing being insufficient , do saying about the policing being insufficient, do you think situation is panning out to prove suella braverman got this right ? i mean , up to a point, yes. >> i mean, it's disgrace full of this is the case that members of the armed forces, veterans feel that they can't feel that this would put their safety in jeopardy in their own country, in west democracy. >> the idea that they wouldn't be allowed to walk around for fear of being attacked or abused in, it's laughable. it's disgraceful . disgraceful. >> it isn't a situation that i think the average member of the pubuc think the average member of the public would be happy with. >> the thing is, with all of this sort talk around suella this sort of talk around suella braverman, is a lot talk. braverman, it is a lot of talk. >> and that's, i'm afraid, my >> and that's, i'm afraid, is my real issue. >> and that's, i'm afraid, is my reaiiissue. >> and that's, i'm afraid, is my reaii understand that >> i understand that suella braverman popular braverman is very popular amongst of tory grassroots. amongst sort of tory grassroots. >> a of people like what she
4:17 pm
>> a lot of people like what she has but that is all that has to say, but that is all that it says. >> says a lot. >> she says a lot. >>— >> she says a lot. >> there isn't actually been a whole lot of, you know, accomplishments herwatch. accomplishments on her watch. now, could say, now, a lot of people could say, well, because ultimately well, that's because ultimately the the final the prime minister has the final say the chancellor comes say and the chancellor comes above it. but actually, this is above it. but actually, this is a secretary who has spoken a home secretary who has spoken a home secretary who has spoken a lot, gaffed quite lot. a home secretary who has spoken a lotshe gaffed quite lot. a home secretary who has spoken a lotshe mayzfed quite lot. a home secretary who has spoken a lotshe may well|uite lot. a home secretary who has spoken a lotshe may well have lot. a home secretary who has spoken a lotshe may well have sort. a home secretary who has spoken a lotshe may well have sort of and she may well have sort of struck chord with a lot of struck a chord with a lot of members of the public. but ultimately that hasn't changed anything . and it's all very well anything. and it's all very well sort of saying the police employ anything. and it's all very well sort of séstandard,)olice employ anything. and it's all very well sort of se standard, which employ anything. and it's all very well sort of se standard, which they oy a double standard, which they they seem to it's all very well saying don't want to go back saying we don't want to go back to a sort of a northern ireland esque sectarian situation where you sort of clashes between you have sort of clashes between different communities different competing communities in something in britain, which is something that would avoid. that people would like to avoid. it's very well saying these it's all very well saying these things, ability things, but actually the ability of to act on these of a politician to act on these things and to prevent them from becoming is the major becoming problems is the major issue. and from i see with issue. and from what i see with suella braverman, to me suella braverman, it looks to me like she is on manoeuvres with a tilt. you know, with her eye on a leadership she a leadership bid. what is she actually done? >> from talk good game >> apart from talk a good game to that she would make a
4:18 pm
to suggest that she would make a good leader? >> nothing from can see. >> nothing from what i can see. well, some might say well, benedict, some might say in many, more are in fact, many, many more are saying hour that the saying by the hour that the conservative party is at a precipice of the most apocalyptic defeat since 1997. >> that's because , as they >> and that's because, as they appear to be two entirely different parties, they were two parties on brexit. they just about got whipped into shape. they their best rictus they put on their best rictus gnns they put on their best rictus grins said, we'll get brexit grins and said, we'll get brexit done. they got through that one. but now on immigration, on policing , on law and order, on policing, on law and order, on rwanda, on net zero, we have a party that's diametrically opposed. it feels sometimes like we have a conservative party and a lot of them are actually liberal democrats maybe suella doing this is forcing that into the open . and maybe this might the open. and maybe this might make the party after the next election actually conservative again. >> well, you're taking the words right out of my mouth. an awful lot of tory mps are just liberal democrats who quite fancied being in government and that was a better way getting into a better way of getting into government joining the government than joining the liberal it's sad liberal democrats. and it's sad that know that that is
4:19 pm
that we all know that that is the case and have it for the case and have known it for some time. >> do think that suella >> i do think that suella braverman is shifting dial, braverman is shifting the dial, but we lost benedict. >> he was just he was just getting warmed up there. he might be back in a minute, but look, want to put this to you look, i want to put this to you guys there because this is guys out there because this is just, i think, bubbling up to the we've seen the surface. now. we've seen this party through this divided party through brexit. many brexit. we saw so many conservatives, forget, conservatives, don't forget, including theresa may, the prime minister time, to minister at the time, trying to stop brexit, trying to try to derail trying to push us derail it, trying to push us towards a second referendum that didn't happen. the brexit party towards a second referendum that didn't along,n. the brexit party towards a second referendum that didn't along, borise brexit party towards a second referendum that didn't along, boris johnson’arty came along, boris johnson came along got done because along that job got done because their feet held the their feet were held to the fire. but now it feels those same schisms just exists throughout the entire party on different realms. benedict you're just getting warmed up there. you to pick up there. would you like to pick up again the notion of two again on the notion of two parties within yeah parties within one? yeah somebody was listening in and didn't to say. didn't like what i had to say. >> it it is one of those things that sadly we've all known about for a very long time and, you know, that's we all know, secretly that's why we all knew the liberal knew why when the liberal democrats into coalition democrats went into coalition with the tories, it made a lot
4:20 pm
of because actually of sense because actually there were more ideologically of sense because actually there were thanzideologically of sense because actually there were than theyylogically of sense because actually there were than they would .ly to aligned than they would like to admit. i think that suella admit. i do think that suella braverman talking good braverman talking a good game will dial for a lot of will shift the dial for a lot of people. you that is to be people. you know that is to be applauded. of what she applauded. and a lot of what she said in the times said actually in the times article being blown slightly article is being blown slightly out you know, she out of proportion. you know, she she the language, you know, she gets the language, you know, a bit off centre every now and then. she's tune with then. but but she's in tune with a lot of the voters. but what i would say is if that wing of the tory party is to be the one that triumphs over the more sort of liberal the party, liberal wing of the party, i don't it's going to be her don't think it's going to be her that's going be at the helm that's going to be at the helm ultimately. that she's ultimately. i think that she's slightly damaged, but she's ultimately. i think that she's sllittle damaged, but she's ultimately. i think that she's sllittle bit damaged, but she's ultimately. i think that she's sllittle bit too maged, but she's ultimately. i think that she's sllittle bit too chaotic.but she's ultimately. i think that she's sllittle bit too chaotic. andhe's a little bit too chaotic. and when you speak to people who sort have worked with her and sort of have worked with her and worked other home worked with other home secretaries, are questions secretaries, there are questions about competence. about talent, about competence. i interesting that i think it's interesting that a lot tory lot of a lot of tory backbenchers, a lot of staffers, a of grassroots people, a lot of grassroots people, if you them, who would you were to ask them, who would you were to ask them, who would you prefer for suella braverman as secretary? would you as home secretary? or would you rather bring back, say, somebody similar patel similar like priti patel with similar ideas, but perhaps a little more competency ? i little bit more competency? i
4:21 pm
think of more moderate think a lot of more moderate tories lean towards priti tories would lean towards priti patel comes down to patel when it comes down to a question competency, question of competency, they don't braverman as don't see suella braverman as being talented politician. >> okay. bannau expense. thanks for joining us. for all for joining us. thanks for all your many people feel your input. many people feel that a storm needs to come onto the party. maybe storm the tory party. maybe storm suella they need . we'll suella is what they need. we'll have lots more on that story at 5:00 there's of 5:00 and there's plenty of coverage on website. gb news coverage on our website. gb news dot com. you've helped make it the growing national the fastest growing national news in the country. so news website in the country. so well of you . now, well done to all of you. now, dame alison rose will miss out on more than £7 million. boohoo after leaving natwest following the nigel farage de—banking scandal . i'm the nigel farage de—banking scandal. i'm martin the nigel farage de—banking scandal . i'm martin daubney scandal. i'm martin daubney standing in for patrick christys on gb news this is britain's news
4:25 pm
>> breakfast with eamonn and isabel, monday to thursdays from . six >> welcome back. it's 425. you're watching and listening to martin daubney on gb news covering for patrick christys. now later in the show, we'll talk about whether kids in bristol should have been allowed to miss out on school today. they went on strike showing their support for palestine . but their support for palestine. but before that, the boss of natwest, who lost her job over the nigel farage banking scandal, had her payout cut scandal, has had her payout cut by more than £75 million. dame alison rose had been due to receive more than £10 million in pay, receive more than £10 million in pay, bonuses and shares . but pay, bonuses and shares. but natwest said she had not been considered a good leader for
4:26 pm
ironic as she's a remainer , ironic as she's a remainer, nigel farage told us, rewarding dame alison with £11 million for failure would have been absolutely wrong when she broke every rule in the financial conduct authority rulebook , she conduct authority rulebook, she breached my confidentiality . breached my confidentiality. >> 80. she told a complete lie about my financial situation , about my financial situation, much to the amusement of my enemies . i much to the amusement of my enemies. i was then forced to pubush enemies. i was then forced to publish a subject access request which contained a lot of very unpleasant and indeed deeply defamatory comments about me. and i had to do that to prove that the real reason i'd been debunked was because my views did not align with those of the bank. >> well, i'm joined now by mark hoath. he's a reform uk candidate who's also worked in banking for 25 years. good afternoon to you, mark. thank you for joining afternoon to you, mark. thank you forjoining me on the you for joining me on the patrick christys show . so, patrick christys show. so, nigel, give a dog a bone. and once again, he's gnawed it and
4:27 pm
gnawed and £7 million has been cut from dame alison rose's payoff is that the right thing to do ? to do? >> well, i think it's the right thing to do, certainly. >> but it's only really the start, isn't it? >> as you quite rightly said at the start, i was a local director in banking for 25 years, had a cashier behaved in the way that dame alison has behaved. they would have been sacked, marched off the premises without any compensation whatsoever because it's a clear breach, as nigel said, of fca regulations . so why they've regulations. so why they've cleared her of misconduct. i i understand she says in her statement that she's pleased to be cleared of misconduct, but made clear of misconduct . she's made clear of misconduct. she's received £395,000 towards her legal costs and she's still receiving a salary . she's still receiving a salary. she's still receiving a salary. she's still receiving in future share dividends, etcetera , etcetera. dividends, etcetera, etcetera. so i don't see why she should be getting all of this when, as i
4:28 pm
quite rightly said, a member of her staff, if they've committed what she's committed , would be what she's committed, would be classed as gross misconduct and they would be sacked and marched off the premises. and i know that because i used to do it when i was working for my employer, previous employer. employer, my previous employer. >> mark we've subsequently learned nigel blew the lid learned since nigel blew the lid off the doors on this case, thousands of thousands of other regular people, regular citizens, have come forward and recounted their own tales of how their political status, their opinions has cost them their bank accounts. how, how appalled are you as somebody who's dedicated so much of your life to banking when you see how captured banking has become by what you call woke politics? >> yeah, i'm pretty appalled with it, really. >> and as i said, i think on a show previous earlier on in the yeanl show previous earlier on in the year, i saw this coming into my previous employer down the line. they made us go on air. they wanted us to go on diversity training. they wanted us to go on things like critical race
4:29 pm
theory and all of that type of stuff. and i quite and, you know, you know, put pride know, go, you know, put pride flags over the place and flags up all over the place and things like that. i found things like that. and i found that really, really uncomfortable because i don't see the place of see that it's the place of a bank to be dictating to their customers about exactly what they should be thinking. all as a customer you're interested in as a bank is how good is the customer service ? what's the customer service? what's the interest rate on the savings? what's my interest rate on my mortgages? not mortgages? they're not interested what the stonewall interested in what the stonewall rating example , you rating is. for example, you know, and they seem to be obsessed trumpeting this obsessed with trumpeting this type and people just type of stuff. and people just aren't interested. other than the individuals that have the woke individuals that have taken the top of these taken over at the top of these institutions . quite frankly, institutions. and quite frankly, it's unacceptable and it needs to change and it needs to change very fast. martin mark, why do you think they do it? >> is it because ostensibly they are capitalists in the are gross capitalists in the eyes of the left? is the liberals? and is this like a kind of what, like a woke screen , a rearguard action to stop them from being fed to the
4:30 pm
crocodile? why are they doing it ? >> well, 7- >> well, i 7 >> well, i just ? >> well, i just think it's endemic right the way across. all of our services. it's endemic in public services and now it's really got a grip on our public services as well . and our public services as well. and i think the difficulty is , is i think the difficulty is, is that if you're looking to get promoted in one of these organisations now , you have to organisations now, you have to waive all of these flags, so to speak. waive all of these flags, so to speak . you know, you have to speak. you know, you have to waive all of these kind of minor interests to get on because if you don't, the next time around the promotions come round, you know, you just won't get considered because you'll be considered, you know, whether it's racist or homophobic or sexist or whatever else it might be. when actually all of those things aren't true of the vast majority of people that work for these organisations . but as these organisations. but as we've seen with dame alison rose, you know, she's clearly a very woke individual and she hasn't done a particularly good job either. and i think the critical part of this, what we need to remember is don't forget this bank is still owned 39% by
4:31 pm
us. you know, by the government. and so you know why they're running around doing all of these things. it's just completely unacceptable. >> okay, mark, both on the de—banking scandal, bang on the money. thanks for joining de—banking scandal, bang on the money. thanks forjoining us today on the show. there's loads more still to come. now between now and 5:00 and of course, ahead of tomorrow's controversial pro—palestine march. we've told that some march. we've been told that some veterans been advised not veterans have been advised not to wear their medals as remembrance events this this weekend. absolutely disgraceful whole situation. but first, here's your news headlines with ray addison . ray addison. >> thanks, martin. good afternoon . it's 431. our top afternoon. it's 431. our top stories , the met police says stories, the met police says 2000 officers will be on duty across central london this weekend to protect remembrance events and locations. an exclusion zone will be put in place covering whitehall , horse place covering whitehall, horse guards, parades and other areas.
4:32 pm
two teenagers have been charged with racially aggravated criminal damage after free palestine was sprayed onto the cenotaph in rochdale . one has cenotaph in rochdale. one has also been charged with theft after poppy wreaths were taken from the base . a british couple from the base. a british couple who fell ill in their hotel room in egypt back in 2018 died of carbon monoxide poisoning . a carbon monoxide poisoning. a coroner has ruled. john and susan cooper, who were both in their 60s, were poisoned after their 60s, were poisoned after the room next door was sprayed with pesticide. you can find more on all of those stories on our website. gbnews.com . our website. gbnews.com. >> thank you, ray. now let's get more head of the controversial pro—palestine march on arms to stay tomorrow . so we revealed stay tomorrow. so we revealed this afternoon that the cenotaph has been locked down there. there'll be a round the clock police guard at the war memorial . and colonel richard kemp told me earlier about what he called a disturbing advice given to
4:33 pm
veterans ahead of remembrance weekend . weekend. >> i heard, which i think is very disturbing, is that the advice has been given by at least some regimental headquarters to their veterans who are planning to go to take part in armistice day events and remembrance sunday events , but remembrance sunday events, but not to wear their medals, to not wear their regimental regalia insignia on the way there when they get there, put them on, but don't do anything to identify yourself before you go, which is to my mind, if that's if it's true, and if that's if the reason for it is because of the pro hamas protests, then i think that's a really sad indictment on the state of this country today. i've certainly wasn't aware that anyone's ever been advised not to wear their medals as veteran or insignia, wear as a veteran or insignia, wear on, you know, taking part in remembrance. but but and i don't know what the reason is. it was just stated as being on the letter i saw was stated as being do not wear it until you get
4:34 pm
actually to the event . so i can actually to the event. so i can only surmise and as i say, if it's if it is, if it is true, then it's a terrible thing to have to tell. i would say to tell veterans who should be they should be proud of their service and everyone around them should be proud because these people have fought and in some cases been severely wounded for their country's . country's. >> i just find that astonishing. i found that shameful. please let me know what you think. gb views at gb views news.com loads and loads of comments already coming in. here's one from lee harris. this is outrage. gorgeous. i really hope these military veterans ignore that cowardly request and wear their medals with pride . and ian says medals with pride. and ian says this absurd . what has happened this absurd. what has happened to the uk and sick these little signs are all alarm bells that we keep ignoring and big problems are in the pipeline sign. and the owl says we can't be told not to. they bestowed this upon us by the crown and
4:35 pm
with an absolute right to wear them anywhere , any time. we them anywhere, any time. we cannot even we can even be buned cannot even we can even be buried wearing them. i will wear my medals with pride. keep your views coming in. now. three women will stand trial next year after being charged with displaying paragliding images in support of the hamas attacks on israel on october the 7th. all the women are accused of a single count of carrying or displaying an article to arouse reasonable suspicion that they are supporters of banned organised actions. in this case, hamas , which is of course hamas, which is of course considered a terrorist group under uk law . so. well, let's under uk law. so. well, let's cross now to westminster magistrates court and speak to gb news national reporter theo chikomba . theo, what's all the chikomba. theo, what's all the latest on this disgrace , awful latest on this disgrace, awful case that's gripped the nation ? case that's gripped the nation? >> yes, well, three women appeared here at westminster magistrates court this afternoon in a hearing which lasted around half an hour. all three of them
4:36 pm
pleaded not guilty. they are due to return appear here at the court in february next year in what's anticipated to be a two day trial. their names are heba al—hayy , palestine . apologies al—hayy, palestine. apologies for that. pauline and kundai and mutu olayinka taiwo . and they mutu olayinka taiwo. and they were discussing bail condition today and whether or not they'll be allowed to attend protests or come into westminster. but they were told that they will be given an unconditional bail so they will be free to do so if they will be free to do so if they wish. but if they were caught committing further offences , then there will be offences, then there will be consequences for that. the court also heard some of the concerns that are there when it comes to their addresses being published. when they arrived earlier this afternoon, they were all told to stand up and they were concerns about their dresses being
4:37 pm
broadcast or published. but the judge said that they, the press, would be able to publish them. and one of them was actually appearing to be distressed before . so she she said her before. so she she said her address in the court. there have been concerns, particularly some of them had been receiving racial abuse as well. now, we also heard from the cps who said they received information following a metropolitan police investigation . and as investigation. and as i reiterate, there will be due here in february 2024. >> okay, theo shikomba, thank you for that update. now, the uk economy has flatlined with the for office national statistics recording no growth in the last quarter , but we've just about quarter, but we've just about skirted a recession with gdp figures rising by 0.2% in september . the chancellor september. the chancellor reassures us that this month's
4:38 pm
autumn statement will get the economy growing healthily again. the shadow chancellor rachel reeves, says the tories have failed the economy . failed the economy. >> well, the numbers today show the economy is flatlining and it confirms what the bank of england predicted just last week , that through the rest of this year and through all of 2024, the uk economy is likely to see no growth whatsoever . the tories no growth whatsoever. the tories plan has failed and as a result, working people are worse off. well, here to break down those latest figures is liam halligan, gb news economics and business editor with on the money >> liam , let's start with that >> liam, let's start with that top the broad picture of gdp. it's flatlined , but despite it's flatlined, but despite brexit, we're actually in a better position than france or germany. >> yeah, the uk economy is we're not firing all cylinders, but nowhere in the western world is firing on all cylinders. the chinese economy is very subdued by its standards because we've
4:39 pm
had so many interest rate rises over recent months and years and because governments are absolutely mired in debt as a result of lockdown. let's have a look at the numbers which came out this morning. now, we already know, martin, that gdp that's the sum total of goods and services transactions in the economy, gross domestic product , economy, gross domestic product, but it fell 0.6% in july compared to the previous month. it up 0.1% in august. these it was up 0.1% in august. these are really tiny numbers. and the number came out this number that came out this morning, it grew nought point 2% in september. that much in september. that was much better lot of people better than a lot of people expected. lot people expected. a lot of people expected. a lot of people expected contraction expected had another contraction in you add up all in september. if you add up all those changes , it means in the those changes, it means in the third quarter, martin, july to september, we flatlined, as rachel reeves rightly said 0% growth in that third quarter of the year. so the uk economy is stagnating, but we have avoided recession. a recession is the technical term for two successive quarters, two successive quarters, two successive three month periods of contracting gdp. that's not now going to happen this year.
4:40 pm
the uk has avoided recession. ian, as you hinted, unlike germany and in fact the entire eurozone is probably going to be in recession . there's no reason in recession. there's no reason to gloat really , because we to gloat really, because we trade a lot with continental europe. when they do well , we europe. when they do well, we tend to do well. >> can we talk about what remains anyway of the british steel industry ? so some news out steel industry? so some news out today. a lot of people, liam, were concerned when the chinese started getting their claws into the steel industry and the british steel industry and there's been some sobering news today about more job losses and what appears to be the dying embers of our industry. >> well, i mentioned lockdowns just then in march 2020, just as lockdown was was beginning , the lockdown was was beginning, the chinese conglomerate called jingye, they bought british steel. i mean, incredible deal. they bought british steel . and they bought british steel. and so the chinese owned british steel. in scunthorpe, the indians own port talbot, our biggest steelworks under their tata brand. and what's happening at the moment in scunthorpe , at the moment in scunthorpe, very proud steel making industry
4:41 pm
. viewers and listeners will have been aware of anna riley's report all day of sort of film about how steelmaking has been going on in scunthorpe in lincolnshire for 160 years and what's happening under the chinese is that they want to close down the blast furnace which uses coking coal that allows you to make virgin steel steel from from nothing from first principles. and they want to replace it or the government wants them to replace it with what's called an arc electric furnace, which means you can only really make steel from scrap metal. now some people can test that out, but that is what a lot of people in the industry think. if you lose your blast furnace, then you lose a lot of your steel making capabilities. and so the chinese know that. the british government is mindful that we've still got 30,000 people working in the steel industry across the uk. but the government wants to but as the government wants to push net zero, they want push towards net zero, they want these electric furnaces rather than coking coal furnaces. than the coking coal furnaces. so are basically so the chinese are basically saying, just like tata are saying, just like tata are saying to the government as
4:42 pm
well, if you us to modify well, if you want us to modify the steelworks, if want us the steelworks, if you want us to keep these people on, if to keep all these people on, if you want us, chinese are you want us, the chinese are saying to not saying pretty explicit to not lay off 2000 people just before an election in a crucial red wall seat. then you're going to have to put your hand into your pocket and shell out tens of millions, possibly hundreds of millions, possibly hundreds of millions taxpayer millions of pounds of taxpayer money. this is how big companies, whether they're car makers , steel makers, big makers, steel makers, big conglomerates, they often hold guns to governments, heads in order to get taxpayer money. liam i'm confused and no doubt a lot of people will be confused out there too, because we were always told that green clean energy create jobs. energy would create jobs. >> yet here we are going to >> and yet here we are going to a recycled form of creating steel and would a slashing 2000 jobs. it doesn't add up . jobs. it doesn't add up. >> i've never really been convinced by the kind of green jobs revolution. of course, if you want to say on teesside. yeah they're building factories where teesside used to be a proud ship making industry . then proud ship making industry. then it was kind of reprocessed or repurposed to help build
4:43 pm
offshore oil rigs and so on. and now it's being repurposed to help build wind turbines. of course. so there are obviously jobs there , but a lot of green jobs there, but a lot of green technology actually is less labour intensive . so skilled labour intensive. so skilled jobs are lost. look, it's the top and bottom of it is. martin on that. it's really expensive to make steel in the uk, not because our workers aren't really good. we have some fabulous steel workers. and in scunthorpe we have a heritage of steel making pretty much generations. unlike anywhere in the world and ingrained expertise in a very proud local population. yeah. yet steel population. yeah. and yet steel making is a very, very energy intensive business. and british companies pay very highly for their energy . energy unit. their energy. energy unit. energy costs in the uk are very, very high because of the way our electricity market works. we rely on what's called marginal cost pricing . so the cost pricing. so the intermittency of renewables is the fact that wind doesn't always blow in the sun, doesn't always blow in the sun, doesn't always shine, means we've got to keep gas fired. power stations
4:44 pm
on standby. haven't got much on standby. we haven't got much gas we haven't got much gas storage, we haven't got much nuclear, french. so nuclear, unlike the french. so we really are in an energy bind because of bad planning because of years of bad planning by successive governments of all political colours. and this is why steelmaking is marginal in the uk, because the so expensive. >> isn't there an argument, liam, steel a strategic liam, to make steel a strategic national interest ? if we can't national interest? if we can't make our own steel, we can't build anything. and if you can't build anything. and if you can't build anything, are you truly a nafion? build anything, are you truly a nation? there is a very good argument and even sort argument and even a sort of broadly pro—business , free broadly pro—business, free market person like me and i suspect like you. >> martin, i absolutely recognise those arguments . and recognise those arguments. and this is what rishi sunak should be thinking about, rather than, you know, who is home secretary is this point. frankly see, is at this point. frankly see, if you can't make own what if you can't make your own what we call virgin steel from first principles, rely principles, if you have to rely on using scrap in order to on on using scrap in order to make your steel, on on using scrap in order to make your steel , then certainly make your steel, then certainly in times of conflict, if you want to build your own infrastructure, if you want to build your own railways, you are at the beck and call of other countries and increasingly, like
4:45 pm
the call of china, which now makes over half of all steel fabricated in the world. so i think there's a very strong strategic argument to keep virgin steelmaking going in the uk . you know, tata knows that uk. you know, tata knows that the chinese know that and that's why they're yanking the british government's chain for some taxpayer money. >> liam halligan always is on the money. superb, great stuff . the money. superb, great stuff. okay, let's move on our roads are in such a bad state. that vehicle breakdowns caused by potholes of soared to a record high. is it just me or does it feel like our country is falling apart ? i'm martin daubney apart? i'm martin daubney standing for in patrick christys on gb news and we are britain's
4:49 pm
sunday mornings from 930 on . gb sunday mornings from 930 on. gb news on marked ella whelan tonight in my big opinion, rishi sunak must keep his straight talking. >> home secretary suella braverman, who speaks for millions . if braverman, who speaks for millions. if she braverman, who speaks for millions . if she goes, so does millions. if she goes, so does his chance of winning the next election . will she survive the election. will she survive the weekend ? i'll be asking her weekend? i'll be asking her number one fan, maverick tory mp michael fabricant . and in my michael fabricant. and in my take at ten, my first full on air reaction to the stunning news that nigel farage looks to be heading to the jungle and not for the first time, he'll prove the doubters wrong. >> we're live . >> we're live. at nine. >> we're live. at nine. >> welcome back. it's 450. watching and listening to martin
4:50 pm
daubney on gb news. standing in for patrick christys. well, at 5:00, i'll have all the latest on suella braverman's future as pressure grows on rishi to sack his home secretary. but before that, britain's roads are falling apart. it's estimated it will cost £14 billion to bring local roads in england and wales up to scratch . and it's emerged up to scratch. and it's emerged today that there was a record number of breakdowns caused by potholes . this summer, the rac potholes. this summer, the rac received almost 6000 call outs due to poor road surfaces between july and september , and between july and september, and that's an increase of a massive 46% on the same period last yeah 46% on the same period last year. now, of course , there's year. now, of course, there's only one person we could talk to about this story that affects almost all of us. and of course , almost all of us. and of course, that's max morrell, who, of course, is known as mr pothole . course, is known as mr pothole. mark morrell. thanks forjoining mark morrell. thanks for joining us. an absolute disgraceful situation. we all know the roads have gone down the swanee, but
4:51 pm
now it's hitting us hard in the pocket. >> yeah, i mean , the motorists >> yeah, i mean, the motorists or road users , you know, because or road users, you know, because his cyclists are vulnerable on there and they've damaged their cycle and god forbid they're killed or injured. >> so yeah, the roads are absolute mess. you can hide other things. the economy has been lack of investment, but you can't hide the state of the roads. interesting record numbers from the rac when they started their measurement of 2006 for all of the problems with our roads back then there was £4 billion a year being spent on road maintenance. as we sit today , there's just over £1 sit today, there's just over £1 billion government. so so and the roads have got worse and declined. i mean, the road backlog got worse by £1.3 billion in a year last year. >> now, mark, the numbers are eye—watering. and literally when you're going through a pothole, it does make your eyes water as well. you fillings fall out 5978 call outs due to breakdowns because of dodgy road surfaces.
4:52 pm
the average repair bill for shocks suspensions , wheels shocks suspensions, wheels punctures, £404. now the big question is if the government won't do anything about it, what can we do? and more specifically, what have you done? >> well, i've campaigned over the last ten years and had millions of pounds of resurfacing work, carried out. i've used legal notices to force councils to resurface roads . the councils to resurface roads. the answer is to resurface. roads keep repairing potholes is a waste of time and money. however, there is some really good kit out there that we need to use. some of the money that's been alluded to from the cancellation of the northern part of hs2. the £8.3 billion. but that's over a ten year period, doesn't concentrate until next year, hopefully, but they could be investing in jcbs pothole pro or keely's new multi patcher. that means you can resurface the side of rural roads at a really cheap price. it will keep the roads ticking oven it will keep the roads ticking over. ideally you want to resurface the roads, but let's embrace whatever technologies
4:53 pm
out there. embrace whatever technologies out now. . embrace whatever technologies out now. mark, a lot people , a >> now. mark, a lot of people, a lot of desperate people take matters into their own hands. they a bag of blue circle or they get a bag of blue circle or whatever and they fill it in, have you got any stories about people doing that and indeed, have you done yourself? have you done that yourself? >> no, i've stayed away from it because you open yourself to legal liability, because the legal liability, but because the most one's got to be most famous one's got to be roger stewart doing it in essex . roger stewart doing it in essex. and that weekend, once he did it, he posted it up on social media. i've never been so busy over a weekend period . um, and i over a weekend period. um, and i can understand the frustration , can understand the frustration, ian but the trouble is, you do. it's a dangerous environment to work so you've got to be very mindful of it and council is can take a hard line, but really report them as much as you can. because if someone then does incur damage, if you reported it and fail act, you've got and they fail to act, you've got and they fail to act, you've got a legal claim. but if you if they don't know about it, they've got a legal defence under section 5058 of the highways act. so yeah, please report you save report them. you might save someone getting killed, injured or damage their vehicle. um,
4:54 pm
or damage to their vehicle. um, so . so, you know, that's my so. so, you know, that's my biggest plea for people now. >> mark, we've got, we've got 12 billion black hole to fill all this is one thing people don't quite understand is that there road tax doesn't go towards the upkeep the roads at all, does it? >> no, it's not. ring fenced. there's a small amount of ring fencing of road tax now that goes into national highways. who have had billions of pounds for so—called smart motorways that now we realise are not that smart . in now we realise are not that smart. in fact, their maintenance budgets have been cut as well. um, we need to invest properly because when you said about the cost of things, it's costing the uk economy billions of pounds each year for failing to maintain our roads correctly. smart investment, i'm afraid, mark we have to leave it there because we've got a black hole in our timing schedule. >> always fantastic on >> you're always fantastic on this thank you much. this topic. thank you very much. now, ahead tomorrow's now, ahead of tomorrow's controversial now, ahead of tomorrow's controv we've now, ahead of tomorrow's controvwe've been told that some march, we've been told that some veterans have been told to not wear their medals to services this weekend. i'm martin daubney

5:08 pm
wasn't aware that anyone's ever been advised not to wear their medals as a veteran or wear insignia when, you know, taking part in remembrance. but but i don't know what the reason is. it was just stated as being on the letter i saw was stated as being do not wear it until you get actually to the event. so i can only surmise and as i say , can only surmise and as i say, if it's if it is, if it is true, then it's a terrible thing to have to tell . so i would say to have to tell. so i would say to tell veterans who should be they should be proud of their service and everyone around them should be proud because these people have fought and in some cases been severely wounded for their country's . country's. >> and that news really got me choked. it really reset me back. i just could not believe that we were living in a country now where veterans, men and women who fought for their country are being told they're not allowed or should not for their own safety, medals, or safety, wear medals, insignia or regalia to the most regalia on the way to the most sacred in our country. sacred of events in our country. and lots of you have been

5:10 pm
braverman. her position as home secretary hangs in the balance following the controversial article in the times where she criticised the police. rishi sunakis criticised the police. rishi sunak is under increasing pressure with allies on the right of the party, warning the prime minister, if you come for her, you come for us as while northern irish politicians are claiming she's managed to offend everyone and has to go. chancellor jeremy everyone and has to go. chancellorjeremy hunt has chancellor jeremy hunt has distanced himself from bravermans choice of language. he said this well, as many other cabinet ministers have said, the words that she used are not words that she used are not words that she used are not words that i myself would have used. >> but i have a productive relationship with her as a colleague, and i've always given her the money that she needs to fund the police, bring down crime and to fund the immigration and asylum system . immigration and asylum system. >> and shadow financial secretary james murray has accused rishi sunak of paralysis on this issue. >> frankly , the rishi sunak is >> frankly, the rishi sunak is in a mess because he can't he can't bring himself to say that he agrees with what suella
5:11 pm
braverman said, but he also can't seem to bring himself to sack the and frankly, the country needs stronger, stable leadership . leadership. >> okay. gb news presented darren grimes joins me now . darren grimes joins me now. hello as always. a pleasure, darren. before we get on to the suella braverman situation, can i get your reaction, please, to the news we heard on patrick christys show momentarily back there, richard kemp there, colonel richard kemp telling regiments been telling us regiments have been warning their veterans not to wear medals or insignia or regalia on their journeys to remembrance events for fear of safety from protesters , as safety from protesters, as that's why it's so important. >> martin i think it's a really important story that gb news has shone the light on there because that's why it's important that people like suella braverman in positions of power do speak out , positions of power do speak out, because what we've got here are those who've served our country, who have been awarded with medals for valour and bravery , medals for valour and bravery, being unable to wear those medals in our country for fear of threats or intimidation or
5:12 pm
even attacks . we saw a veteran even attacks. we saw a veteran attacked in edinburgh. only the other day. martin i think it's really deeply troubling. and it just shows the dire straits that britain finds itself in right how. >> now. >> and do you think, darren, looking at events as they've unfolded, 2000 coppers on patrol, the cenotaph on lockdown , protesters being threatened with arrest if they go near the sacred moments at this sacred time . suella braverman saying time. suella braverman saying all along there's been two tier policing. maybe she had a point . policing. maybe she had a point. >> absolutely right. i mean , >> absolutely right. i mean, look, martin, you know as well as i do that we've had in the media trump derangement syndrome. >> we had brexit derangement syndrome. i think right now at this moment, we've got a really , this moment, we've got a really, really virulent case of suella derangement syndrome , because derangement syndrome, because actually, if you look at the polling on this, martin, the telegraph just put out a piece saying that actually 72% of conservative voters actually believe that the planned protest
5:13 pm
around the armistice day , the around the armistice day, the commemorating armistice day, actually shouldn't go ahead. it shouldn't be able to go ahead . shouldn't be able to go ahead. so suella braverman scribbles a few words in the times to that effect. and it seems every left wing nut and their dog, martin, come out frothing at the mouth. absolutely full of drama and outrage . and when you ask them, outrage. and when you ask them, martin, what is it that you're actually take exception to? what is it that suella braverman is arguing that have got your knickers in a twist? and when you say that it's just tumbleweed birds and crickets? martin and i think that in and of itself is pretty damn telling i >> -- >> an interesting point darren made there. if you come for her, you come for us and the tory riots are circling the wagons around suella do you think if she gets the chop over this, if that surrender is taken to the storm as the city calls the
5:14 pm
yvette cooper , what will that yvette cooper, what will that mean for the future of the conservative party? darren look, i think in areas like this, martin, where, you know, the red wall facing seats where they've got labour breathing down their neck in the polls at the minute, i think tory voters in this part of the world would just stay home. >> they would say, i see absolutely no point, martin in actually coming to vote for actually coming out to vote for actually coming out to vote for a conservative party that doesn't stand for someone who's making really quite making really, really quite laudable and reasonable points, which is around actually the protection of our commemorations. our remember once and the sanctity of those events actually , i think it's events actually, i think it's really vile stuff that we've heard on the streets of london and elsewhere describing jews as filth, as you observed, usurpers and actually urging followers to tear them apart. now, that's their language, calling for intifada and all these other things . vought is up here and things. vought is up here and martin are saying, what the hell is going on in london? and i think actually if tory, if the
5:15 pm
likes of jeremy hunt don't get on board and start defending people like suella braverman, well, many tories will just conclude there's absolutely no point whatsoever in coming out to vote for them. >> now, darren, of course, suella has found that a lot of people within her own party as well, of course, as her opponents, one here in northern ireland calling her a pound shop. enoch powell column. eastwood and of course, many within her own party are increasingly uncomfortable about what they see as the direction of travel within the party. but it remains to be said, the vast majority of tory voters that i've seen, especially especially on the conservative media, have come out in her support. do you think if the tory party gets wiped out at the next general election, which seems likely with the direction of travel, they may be a forest fire, a regrowth ? and darren, could you regrowth? and darren, could you see somebody like suella heading up a resurgent new reborn
5:16 pm
conservative party movement ? conservative party movement? >> well, i think it's looking increasingly likely that someone like suella will be a serious contender for the leadership of the conservative party. but, you know, that on know, martin, that depends on who maintains their who actually maintains their seats. if the polls are to be believed, frankly, you know, it's going be a complete it's going to be a complete wipe—out what she's saying wipe—out but what she's saying here, the police are about as impartial as a fox in a hen house. and i think we actually need someone with the with the authority , with the clarity to authority, with the clarity to actually come out and say things like that. i mean. martin you it won't been missed on you won't have been missed on you ehhen won't have been missed on you either. that yvette cooper attacked the police after the sarah everard vigil , right? and sarah everard vigil, right? and now she calls she calls suella braverman worse than goodness, only knows for , what say for only knows for, what say for doing exactly the same. you know, i just think we've got to get real. we are at a point now where martin would just don't have the time to be debating these kind of things. we've got to get serious about the threat that we're facing in britain and actually get real about the
5:17 pm
challenge that are present right now here and now. i'm really worried about tomorrow and what tomorrow is going to look like and how depressing can you imagine me coming on and saying that ten years ago? maybe that actually i'm worried about remembrance day, armistice day, and actually being able to actually commemorate people like my granddad, for example . it's my granddad, for example. it's just it's sickening . martin just it's sickening. martin that's what it is. i'm really , that's what it is. i'm really, really troubled and concerned about the direction of my own country. >> darren grimes , thanks for >> darren grimes, thanks for joining us here on the patrick christys show. powerful words there, as ever . christys show. powerful words there, as ever. now moving on, new details have emerged about police preparations for potential disruption this weekend . deputy assistant weekend. deputy assistant commissioner laurence taylor, who's in charge of this weekend's policing operation across the capital, has said this this weekend is going to be a challenging weekend in london. we're expecting over 100,000 people to join the pro—palestine protest, a counter protest will be allowed to take place near
5:18 pm
the cenotaph. our action is designed so that both protests do not come together to thousand police officers will be on duty across central london for the whole of remembrance weekend and the cenotaph has been locked down and will have a round the clock police guard . now former clock police guard. now former metropole charleton police detective chief inspector perry benton joins me now. perry, always a pleasure to have you on the line. so a significant increase in policing activities is this weekend. perry, the cenotaph on complete lockdown , cenotaph on complete lockdown, 2000 police, including from other forces, ferried in to protect the capital threats of arrest of any protesters encroaching on those sacred areas . is encroaching on those sacred areas. is this a sufficient police response , in your opinion ? >> 7. >>i ? >> i think the 7 >> i think the metropolitan police commissioner should be applauded. >> he's now publicly come out and said what his plan is for this weekend . there's been lots this weekend. there's been lots of talk in the media over the
5:19 pm
last week about whether the protest should be banned or not. >> he's obviously come out and said there's no intelligence to have the protest banned. >> so i think should actually >> so i think he should actually be together be applauded. he's put together what believe is a robust what i believe is a robust opfion what i believe is a robust option , national plan to deal option, national plan to deal with this weekend's event . with this weekend's event. >> and i personally think the protest shouldn't have gone ahead. >> i think the organisers should have looked to potentially postpone it and do it on another day. >> but we are where we are and i think the plan now to have officers transported in from other forces is a really positive step . positive step. >> it's a sad indictment of society that we need that many police officers on the streets of london, you know, 2000 police officers is a significant amount. we've also got the daily operational policing response to deaung operational policing response to dealing with other crimes throughout the whole of the capital the whole the country. >> i think the commissioner should be applauded. >> i mean, the police commanders will make very difficult will have to make very difficult decisions know decisions on that day. i know that they're expecting some outbreaks disorder. outbreaks of disorder. >> think that is going to >> and i think that is going to happen without fail .
5:20 pm
happen almost without fail. >> think how the police >> and i think how the police commanders deal with that is going really challenging. going to be really challenging. but, know, have the but, you know, have the full confidence make the confidence of them to make the right decisions , to deal with right decisions, to deal with people robustly. hope that people robustly. and i hope that everyone is safe and that both events can go off without sort of major disturbance. >> perry , the home secretary, >> perry, the home secretary, suella braverman , has caused suella braverman, has caused a furore by accusing the police of two tier policing and many people . perry looking back at people. perry looking back at previous weeks at least, may think she has a point. previous weeks at least, may think she has a point . we've had think she has a point. we've had protesters forjihad on protesters crying for jihad on the streets of london. we've seen some flags . we've seen some seen some flags. we've seen some placards that have caused gross offence. we've seen 188 arrests this week , often for racially this week, often for racially aggravated assaults and abuse targeted at the jewish community. do you think with all of that in mind, we can not expect to see just more policing, but hopefully a more robust policing activity this weekend ? weekend? >> well, i think considering, you know, the mainstream media reporting of this incident,
5:21 pm
there's going to be lots of eyes on the police. i mean, the police have a very difficult balancing act to perform. you know, protect free know, they want to protect free speech assembly, but also speech and assembly, but also protect the rights of others not to the to be intimidate. and the reality the police going reality is the police are going to damned do and to be damned if they do and damned if they don't. you know, we've seen in other protests things police have things they've been police have been of being too heavy been accused of being too heavy handed, terms of handed, you know, in terms of the for sarah everard or the vigil for sarah everard or the vigil for sarah everard or the that lives matter the way that black lives matter has policed. and think has been policed. and i think the reality there will the reality is that there will always some groups that are always be some groups that are going complain about the going to complain about the police the police police and the way the police have dealt with certain individuals. >> the reality is, if they try to everybody that to arrest everybody that was either chanting something or holding placards, there holding placards, then there will disorder. >> is a very difficult >> so it is a very difficult balancing act in trying to stop any sort of splinter groups breaking off with the police. have already met with the organisers of the protest and they've been assured that the route has been planned and that there's going to be no deviation from that route. but the reality is there will be the odd group or individuals will try and
5:22 pm
or individuals that will try and sort almost like disrupt that sort of almost like disrupt that event and try and sort of bring more attention to their more media attention to their own the police will own cause. but the police will do they okay do their best they can. okay >> perry. perry, very quickly, do think suella bravermans do you think suella bravermans words and actions have helped with the policing this weekend? and if you were a copper on the beat this weekend , how would you beat this weekend, how would you beat this weekend, how would you be feeling ? well i think suella be feeling? well i think suella braverman has actually potentially stoked hatred and division. >> i think her comments are too much. i think she's using the metropolitan police for her own political agenda. i think she is looking potentially to raise a sort of leadership challenge at some point , sort of leadership challenge at some point, and she's looking to undermine the police. i think her to suggest that the police will be treating this protest differently any others is differently to any others is almost ludicrous. you know, the police are dealing every police are dealing with every protest time they can protest at the time they can with information they have with the information they have available, and they will treat everybody same. i think everybody the same. and i think she should be careful with the words chooses . words she chooses. >> okay. >> okay. >> perry benson, we to
5:23 pm
>> perry benson, we have to leave it there. thank you for your forthright opinions. always leave it there. thank you for y(pleasure. ght opinions. always leave it there. thank you for y(pleasure. now,)inions. always leave it there. thank you for y(pleasure. now, prince always leave it there. thank you for y(pleasure. now, prince harry, s a pleasure. now, prince harry, one, of his one, the latest stage of his legal against the legal battle against the publisher of the daily mail. it means we can expect to see him back in the high court very soon. i'm martin daubney standing patrick christys standing in for patrick christys on gb news. this is
5:26 pm
5:27 pm
standing in for patrick christys now as the row over suella braverman comments about the police rumbles on and a few minutes i'll be joined by tory mp and friend of the show, sir michael fabricant, to get his verdict on the home secretary. now three women will stand trial next year after being charged with displaying paragliding images support of the hamas images in support of the hamas attacks on israel on october the 7th. all the women are accused of a single count of carrying or displaying an article to arouse reasonable suspicion that they are supporters of a banned organisation. in this case, hamas , which of course is hamas, which of course is considered a terrorist group under uk law . for now, let's under uk law. for now, let's cross now to westminster magistrate court and speak to gb news national reporter theo theo chikomba for an update on this controversial . case controversial. case >> yes, well, three of those those three women appeared here at the magistrates court this afternoon at westminster and all three of them pleaded not guilty
5:28 pm
after being charged under the terrorism act in connection with displaying images of paragliders at a pro—palestine rally last month. now we understand that they were also granted an unconditional bail . there were unconditional bail. there were concerns about their addresses being published or broadcast, but the judge allowed the press to do so as the last couple of weeks. some of them have received racial abuse online in the last couple of weeks. now they are due to return to the magistrates court in february 2024 for a trial which is expected to last just two days. now, in the last couple of weeks we've heard from the cps and they say this was following an investigation by the metropolitan police . we know metropolitan police. we know that there have been using technology to find people within crowds who are potentially causing harm or showing
5:29 pm
literature or holding up banners , which can be inflammatory, but just to reiterate that there will be returning here to the magistrates court in february 2024, theo chikomba thank you for that update . for that update. >> now moving on, there's a rare bit of good news for prince harry today. he's won the latest stage of his legal battle against the publisher of the daily mail. a judge has ruled that the sussex can that the duke of sussex can continue his unlawful information gathering claim in the high court. well, let's speak now to the royal commentator, angela levin. angela, a rare bit of good news for the ginger winger. what's your take on this ? your take on this? >> well, it's not just good news for him. i mean, the associate think that they have got good news. it just depends on what the judge does. this is not a criminal case. so he will make the decision on his own . the the decision on his own. the problem is that the newspaper thinks that they're far too
5:30 pm
late. it's six years too late to make complaints. the judge has said that they might have discovered something that they didn't know before . that changes didn't know before. that changes that and makes it fresh and they can complain on. it's just quite a difficult situation , i think a difficult situation, i think harry might do all right. and he absolutely might not. but the judge said that the associated newspaper didn't have enough knock and knock out blow, but they do know that a lot of the things that harry has said cannot be repeated because because they don't believe that there actually happened . and so , there actually happened. and so, you know, that's the case at the moment . and it'll go on and on moment. and it'll go on and on and on. and on, i think. and andrew, it's worth pointing out that the associate news, they strenuously deny these allegations and they've described them as praepostor smears and a pre—planned and
5:31 pm
orchestrated attempt to drag the mail titles into the phone hacking scandal. >> so aside from the legal ramifications, is this the kind of thing, in your opinion, that a member or previous member of the royal family should be doing going to court as an ordinary member of the public or a celebrity may do ? celebrity may do? >> well, i think he's largely celebrity, celebrity and not very royal at the moment, and he is entitled to do these things. the royal family don't like to do that or come to court because it exposes them in a way that's not really royal or properly done. not really royal or properly done . but he wants to try and done. but he wants to try and this is something that he's wanted to do for years, and that is bring the british newspapers down and out . he doesn't want down and out. he doesn't want anybody in this country to criticise him and he wants to punish anyone , one who does. punish anyone, one who does. we've been quite understanding
5:32 pm
about harry, but on the other hand, we've pointed out all the wrongdoing that he's done. and in meghan don't like that one bit. i just want to say one thing about the mail and that is they've always denied that they did anything like a phone hacking where whereas the mirror, the sun and the news of the world all said yes, we did and settled out of court . so and settled out of court. so i think that is actually quite interesting. anyway but we will have to see. it'll you know, we then will face how much the taxpayer has to pay for him to come over all his protection protection officers . so it's protection officers. so it's going to cost us an awful lot of money and he will feel very grandiose about it, even though he's no longer a working royal. >> okay, angela levin, we have to leave it there. thanks for joining us on the patrick christys show. okay. there's lots more to come in the next houn lots more to come in the next hour. but between now and 6:00,

5:35 pm
confidence in suella braverman as number 10 continues to look into how a times article by the home secretary criticising the police came to be published. a new yougov poll shows 49% of britons think that she should be sacked. well, i'm joined now by tory mp sir michael fabricant. thank you for joining tory mp sir michael fabricant. thank you forjoining us, sir. thank you for joining us, sir. michael, it's always a pleasure. so another week, another controversy this time it's the cops. last week it was homelessness as a lifestyle choice . before that, asylum choice. before that, asylum seekers pretending to be gay to avoid deportee has your home secretary become something of a liability ? liability? >> i think our home secretary is saying what a lot of gb news listeners are actually thinking , listeners are actually thinking, to be honest with you . to be honest with you. >> okay, now the labour party, of course, they're saying that you're too weak to sack suella, but a lot of people that i've been speaking to today, a lot of the tory faithful are saying sacking suella would mean that the tory party is toast because she is the toast of the town. the voters seem to think she's
5:36 pm
speaking the common sense opinions and that's why she's becoming a lightning rod. well we'd certainly be toast if we started taking advice from keir starmer , that's for sure. starmer, that's for sure. >> look mean she is saying, i think what most people are thinking, she doesn't always say it in maybe a tactful way , but it in maybe a tactful way, but maybe the time for tact is over. you know, there's going to be, as you reported on the news 2000 extra police in london on armistice day tomorrow . there armistice day tomorrow. there are going to be 19,000 minimum people coming down to demonstrate for the palestinians . yes, they've created exclusion zones. will they keep to it? you know, in previous occasions you've had the metropolitan police actually banning marches. they did it a year or so back with a march that was going to take place in golders green. they did it about ten years ago with the english defence league. why they didn't say, look, on
5:37 pm
armistice day of all days, that is not the time to have a march. i do not know. i do think the metropolia police are beginning to lose the plot not only just on this, but also on matters like , you know, stop oil where like, you know, stop oil where it seems almost as if the met police officers don't know what to do, whether to actually protect the people , stopping protect the people, stopping traffic against irate drivers. you know, it's a nonsense . it's you know, it's a nonsense. it's a bit like, you know, london has become a free zone. >> and sir michael well, could i make you aware of a shocking revelation made to us on gb news in this show by colonel richard kemp, who has let us know that several regiments have been warned not to wear their medals, their regalia or their insignia. on the way to remembrance events this weekend for fear of safety. can i ask you, what does that say to you about what our country has become? well it's shocking, isn't it? >> and , you know, i was noticing
5:38 pm
>> and, you know, i was noticing the other day that far fewer people this year are wearing their poppy . i'm wearing where their poppy. i'm wearing where is it? i'm wearing my poppy with pride. but but the point is that a number of poppy sellers are saying we don't want to be intimidate , dated by these intimidate, dated by these people who are supporting palestine and want to see the destruction of the state of israel. and other people are saying they're just too scared and nervous in london to walk around with a poppy, thank god i'm in litchfield where people are wearing poppies. but you know, it doesn't say much for the state of britain as you quite rightly ask. martin and it also doesn't say much for london policing or indeed the attitude of some of these people who are marching in support of a terrorist organisation. hamas and sir michael, that knits these two themes together for suella braverman was saying the policing is two tiered and certain. >> sir michael we have seen people , protesters calling for people, protesters calling for jihad on british streets and that didn't seem to warrant an
5:39 pm
arrest as well as the beefing up of policing tomorrow, alluding to what suella braverman was saying, would you like to see an equivalent , robust response to equivalent, robust response to those kind of things on british streets so that we can stop this rot in its tracks as well? >> you know, i've seen pictures of how the police deal with some of how the police deal with some of these demonstrators in france , in germany and in the united states. and they certainly are robust. now, there will be some who say, okay, france isn't a democratic country , germany democratic country, germany isn't a democratic country , nor isn't a democratic country, nor isn't a democratic country, nor is the united states . i would is the united states. i would actually argue with. in fact , actually argue with. in fact, they are a democratic country and the police are doing what the majority of people want them to do, namely uphold the law. you can't have a situation where a minority of the country can parade in the streets and intimidate others. and that's what they seem to be doing. and the news you just gave regarding colonel richard kemp and
5:40 pm
reporting that people are not to wear their medals, not to wear their poppies in case they're attacked, is absolutely shocking and demonstrates, you know, exactly what some of these people, not all of them, but what some of these demonstrate fighters are like. >> sir michael fabricant, thank you for joining >> sir michael fabricant, thank you forjoining us on gb news. i enjoy your remembrance weekend . enjoy your remembrance weekend. thank you. now, our very own nigel farage was the king of brexit, but is he about to become the king of the jungle? well, i'm martin daubney standing in for patrick christys on gb news. this is britain's
5:44 pm
on gb news, the people's. channel for. >> welcome back. it's 544. you're watching and listening to martin daubney on gb news standing in for patrick christys. well, keep being told that our children's education suffered badly during the pandemic , and studies have found pandemic, and studies have found that most kids reading age is behind covid levels. and the behind pre covid levels. and the fact that 25 million school days were lost, a strike action in the last academic year that won't help the kids catch up now, will it? yet incredibly, for the second week in a row, numerous kids in bristol have today missed out on school in support of palestine. that's right. pupils took part in an event called school strike for palestine and china. fish helped to organise those strikes. >> tony one day we feel that this is a really pertinent time
5:45 pm
and a really important time that we use our voices in any way we can. now that almost 5000 children have been killed by israel since the 7th of october, as parents and the children, we all feel so concerned that we need to help stop any more killings of children. so the focus today is all about children and saving children's lives . i've been involved in lives. i've been involved in free palestine movement for a long time. i went to palestine in 2011 and 2013 and this is the first time ever that i've heard that accusation to that slogan. and simply it's untrue . if you and simply it's untrue. if you look at the geography of the area , the land, it's saying from area, the land, it's saying from the west bank to gaza . so it's the west bank to gaza. so it's from the river to the sea . from the river to the sea. palestine will be free. it's nothing to do with the insinuated connotations that annihilation of israel. not at all. we're all about peace for
5:46 pm
everyone . one, we want peace in everyone. one, we want peace in the land, in the region, for everyone. so that is not true . everyone. so that is not true. two a young child. it's difficult . it's really difficult. it's really difficult. it's really difficult. there are some resources that are really good through unicef and stop the war. that's really helpful to make it soft and gentle. we don't want children to feel overwhelmed or too upset. you know, obviously they're hearing about it from they're hearing about it from the media anyway. so there's good resources out there in how to approach that with the child . and. >> okay, let's speak now to the journalist and authorjulie journalist and author julie cook. julie is also the parent of a school aged child. julie, this strike, this walkout in bristol today was organised by the stop the war coalition. that's corbyn's mob, the palestine solidarity campaign. they're organised in the marches tomorrow and the green party . tomorrow and the green party. should kids be used as political pawns like this ? pawns like this? >> of course not, martin. of course they shouldn't. and you know, i just listened to that part there with that mother
5:47 pm
speaking. i think , you know, if speaking. i think, you know, if you want to protect your children and make softer for children and make it softer for them, take them along a them, don't take them along to a rally. some of these rally. you know, some of these children seen images children i've seen in images both news and in both on gb news and in newspapers shows children as young three, 4 or 5 or kids young as three, 4 or 5 or kids in buggies or school aged children up placards in buggies or school aged chilcthey up placards in buggies or school aged chilcthey even placards in buggies or school aged chilcthey even read rds in buggies or school aged chilcthey even read .1s in buggies or school aged chilcthey even read . and i that they can't even read. and i think children dragging think these children dragging your children along to this kind of thing can only create more division a time when, with division at a time when, with the upcoming weekend we're the upcoming weekend that we're all nervous about all so worried and nervous about coming up, this is not the time to drag children into this. imagine being a jewish child watching place as well. >> and isn't this further evidence , julie, of this evidence, julie, of this blurring boundaries blurring of the boundaries between education and indoctrination that we're seeing indoctrination that we're seeing in british schools now ? in british schools now? >> oh, quite right. yeah i mean, i was i was talking to my children about this earlier. i mean, they don't know a lot about this war because i'm trying to protect them from it. as don't want to as a mother, i don't want to talk about the war with my young children. happy to talk children. i'm happy to talk about in capacity. but about it in this capacity. but i think, you know, dragging our
5:48 pm
children in is indoctrination. it's about it's getting them to talk about things that can't fully things that they can't fully comprehend you comprehend as well. you can explain in terms goodies explain this in terms of goodies and baddies, that isn't and baddies, but that isn't a way explain this particular way to explain this particular type how do you type of conflict. how do you explain why israel explain to children why israel is reacting the way is right is reacting the way it is right now? possibly get now? you can't possibly get a four year old five year old to understand that you wouldn't four year old five year old to undeithem that you wouldn't four year old five year old to undeithem to at you wouldn't four year old five year old to undeithem to know wouldn't four year old five year old to undeithem to know the uldn't four year old five year old to undeithem to know the horrors want them to know the horrors that hamas committed. and want them to know the horrors tithink,mas committed. and want them to know the horrors tithink, yes, committed. and want them to know the horrors tithink, yes, it's committed. and want them to know the horrors tithink, yes, it's single tted. and want them to know the horrors tithink, yes, it's single issue and i think, yes, it's single issue politics as well. martin it's telling our children there are goodies and baddies. and this is the you're up the placard you're holding up and more to it than and there's far more to it than that. i don't about you, that. i don't know about you, judy, but i think it's judy, as well, but i think it's my job kind of re—educate my my job to kind of re—educate my kids on how they're educated. >> kids all the time. >> i ask my kids all the time. they're aged nine and 14, what are you being about climate are you being told about climate change? you being told change? what are you being told about what are about pronouns, lgbtq? what are you black lives you being told about black lives matter? because monolithic matter? because a monolithic dialogue is going out. kids, they're not learning about nuance they're being nuance. they're just being dictated aren't they? dictated to aren't they? >> yes , precisely. and as you >> yes, precisely. and as you said before , you know, our said before, you know, our children have missed enough of their education as it is. they've been lockdown. a lot
5:49 pm
