3:08 pm
bnngin is a safe pair of hands. but bring in david cameron back in. he's the guy that's had the biggest regret of his life. was brexit. and here we are with 80 seat majority about to go off the edge of a cliff. do you think this is end of day stuff? do you think this is the end for the conservative party it feels to me it doesn't matter who they put into the minister of this or the minister of that. it feels like they're rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic . do deck chairs on the titanic. do you think they can bring this back? do you think it's over? do you think they've basically squeezed out one by one every single major beast of brexit? they've all been forced out. they've all been forced out. they got rid of boris, now they got rid of braverman. and basically we are left now with thin gruel and a lot of conservative out there conservative voters out there have to me all have been saying to me all weekend certainly today in weekend and certainly today in their basic plea, their droves that basic plea, their droves that basic plea, the party feels like it's over loads and loads of them tearing up their membership, saying they're going to cross over to reform . is that an option, do reform. is that an option, do you think , reform stand a chance
3:09 pm
you think, reform stand a chance ? richard tice is being bold in his vision. could there be talk of defections of cross overs, of big beasts from the tory party going to the reform party? is that the answer or do you think maybe we just maybe we deserve this forest fire and the tories need to go? i think we've got christopher hope back now. chris, are you still there? i think steve barclay pulled the cable on that one. let's go back. >> i may misheard you. >> i may misheard you. >> yeah , i may i misheard you. >> yeah, i may i misheard you. forgive me. i think theresa coffey has been flushed down the sewer . that's what you coffey has been flushed down the sewer. that's what you said. yes, you're correct saying that. >> all right. >> all right. >> so the word apart from all the news, christopher , the latest news, christopher, what are the people are in the picture? some of them, i'm afraid we have to google to find out who they are. is this , do out who they are. is this, do you think, feeding like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic ? a lot of the titanic? a lot of conservatives saying to me they think over . well no
3:10 pm
think the party's over. well no question he's brought in this is the prime minister has brought in new faces as laura trott. >> she's got a new roles. you've got richard holden as a conservative party chairman. these are people who were elected in 2019, not very well known to our viewers. claire coutinho, course two appointed net zero secretary back in september . chair you've got some september. chair you've got some other other positions. victoria atkins, she's now a senior role it what's you're seeing here is a reshuffle the tory party is trying to try to change the shape of this government to try and reinvent it like a snake shedding its skin to try and become a more of a kind of attractive option for voters as that's they do every so that's what they do every so often you well know, martin, often as you well know, martin, they do try and find a new way often as you well know, martin, th presenty and find a new way often as you well know, martin, th present themselves new way often as you well know, martin, th present themselves to w way often as you well know, martin, th present themselves to voters. to present themselves to voters. the big marquee signing today, if was a football analogy, if it was a football analogy, you'd say david cameron being brought in as foreign secretary. that was not seen when it was first mooted shortly after he stood down as prime minister and party leader back in 2016. i
3:11 pm
remember hearing it back in 2018, 2019. give him a job in the lords and bring him in as foreign secretary. i never thought happen, so it thought it would happen, so it has does has surprised everybody. it does give a feeling, though, of a grand old man that on his way out from politics. but one final further dice for david cameron. the world is a more unsafe place. he has very good connections. i think on the global stage. he will reassure people and next year's election , people and next year's election, they'll say the tories will say, well, david lammy as foreign secretary cameron , who secretary or david cameron, who do trust more with with your do you trust more with with your security question security? that's the question they'll there are they'll be asking there are issues legitimacy already. issues of legitimacy already. about half an hour ago , lindsay about half an hour ago, lindsay hoyle, the speaker of the house of commons, raised concern about the mps cannot the fact that mps cannot question the leading foreign affairs this affairs spokesman of this government the house of government in the house of commons because, of course david cameron elected. he'll be cameron is not elected. he'll be a when therefore he'll a peer when therefore he'll answer in the house of answer questions in the house of lords, commons. answer questions in the house of lord main commons. answer questions in the house of lord main chamber commons. answer questions in the house of lord main chamber forommons. answer questions in the house of lord main chamber for thisrons. the main chamber for this country's democracy. so it's a problem, i think, in terms of legitimacy. but i can see why they made that appointment. but
3:12 pm
elsewhere , suella braverman now elsewhere, suella braverman now on the backbench , is waiting to on the backbench, is waiting to see what she does next. will she give a speech, a resignation speech? damaging speech? will it be a damaging one? will she next crop up one? where will she next crop up of course, don't forget this big, big week coming up for the for the home office. you've got this call by the by the supreme court on wednesday whether to allow legally to process illegal migrants applications to be here in rwanda next week. on thursday. you've got the net net migration figures showing hundreds of thousands arriving here legally on the government's watch. she wants to bring that number down to tens of thousands. so i what we're thousands. so i think what we're going will she do going to see is what will she do next? question. next? the big question. >> chris, you for >> okay, chris, thank you for joining full joining us with that full update. let's cross now our update. let's cross now to our home and security as mark white, who outside the home office. who is outside the home office. mark always a pleasure. james cleverly, he's coming in and straight away, straight off the bat , he is straight away, straight off the bat, he is saying, i am the man who will stop the boats . do you who will stop the boats. do you think people will have faith in that message ? good
3:13 pm
that message? good >> good luck to him. 615 people came across just yesterday in 12 small boats were already well in to november to and get that number crossing on a november day is quite remarkable. overall though, the numbers are down. but i think that's been really due to the fact that over months now we've had very changeable weather conditions in the channel that have just whipped up the waves and made it difficult for those people smugglers to push those boats out into the middle of the channel. so they still have a real job on their hands to try to stop these people smugglers in their work. the government believes that rwanda is the policy that will work wonders to suella braverman of course , was suella braverman of course, was wedded to rwanda as well. now james cleverly inherits that policy and his first big
3:14 pm
challenge will really be this wednesday when the supreme court will decide whether that rwanda policy is lawful or not. if it's deemed to not be lawful, then it's difficult to see what the government is going to do. it's back to the drawing board for them in terms of coming up with a policy that's going to be enough of a deterrent factor for the people smugglers. it's going to break their business model because nothing really is working on a significant scale thus far . we've got numbers, as thus far. we've got numbers, as i say, that are a bit down, mainly due , i think, to the mainly due, i think, to the weather. but but in terms of actually the business model being broken , there is no policy being broken, there is no policy that's done that yet. rwanda perhaps if it is given the green light on wednesday, might be able to do that. that's james cleverly is issue now in his headache going fonnard, not just that, of course, martin, as you know, having covered this as well over recent months , there
3:15 pm
well over recent months, there are many, many thousands , are many, many thousands, thousands of asylum seekers now already here in the uk, joined by 615 more yesterday that are being housed in hotels in pretty much every community city right across the country knows of a hotel in their area which has been given over to asylum seekers. the government wants to move away from that model and in doing so they want to go to old military bases and other sort of purpose built facilities that are more suitable for housing large numbers of people rather than taking hotels out of commission . well, one big test commission. well, one big test are there, of course , is what are there, of course, is what james cleverly is going to do about wethersfield wethersfield, which is planned to take 1700 asylum seekers , a couple of asylum seekers, a couple of hundred there at the moment. that's in his constituency . and that's in his constituency. and he's already said very publicly when he was foreign secretary
3:16 pm
that he is against the wethersfield site being used in this manner . well, what does he this manner. well, what does he do now that he's got the power to change that? does he look for alternatives or does he stick with suella plan , which is not with suella plan, which is not going to be particularly popular, of course, with his own constituents and it's worth repeating there, mark, 615 illegals arrived on remembrance sunday. >> i think that's a talismanic moment in itself. looking ahead, cleverly's got lots in his in—tray, but looking back, how do you think suella braverman will be remembered? what's her legacy ? well she was certainly legacy? well she was certainly you know, she took a hard line on small boats, but really , you on small boats, but really, you know, in in sort of the proof is in the pudding, isn't it? >> and those small boats still kept coming under her stewardship here at the home office. you could argue that thatis
3:17 pm
office. you could argue that that is unfair because of course, they've been mired in court challenges. all this time. and until we get to the conclusion of that particular process, we won't really know whether the direction of travel that she was taking is on, i.e. down the path of sending hundreds, thousands to rwanda would actually have worked. let's see if it does . james let's see if it does. james cleverly, we believe , is just as cleverly, we believe, is just as wedded to rwanda. and if it goes ahead , we will see whether ahead, we will see whether actually she was on the right, on the right track with what she was planning on other issues . of was planning on other issues. of course, she's unfiltered . i course, she's unfiltered. i think she speaks from the heart . think she speaks from the heart. thatis think she speaks from the heart. that is what she believes in. a lot of the things that she said , lot of the things that she said, i think many people in the country would probably have agreed with her in terms of her interpret nation of those taking part out in the marches. these last few weeks. and what motivated many of those on the marches and also , i think her
3:18 pm
marches and also, i think her criticism of the metropolitan police. i am sure many people agreed with. but as i say, it's unfiltered. i do not think that is a style of james cleverly. he's not going to be as unfiltered as suella braverman was and in terms of, i guess , was and in terms of, i guess, repairing the relationship with scotland yard, well , that should scotland yard, well, that should be reasonably easy because suella braverman has been removed from the scene, so it doesn't really have much in the way of damage repair work to do. the fact that suella braverman is no longer in the post should be enough and going fonnard, let us see what his relationship is like with sir mark rowley , the like with sir mark rowley, the met commissioner. but they are going to have to find a way fonnard and to deal with the hundreds of thousands of people who are coming out. it seems hundreds of thousands of people who are coming out . it seems now who are coming out. it seems now every weekend , and many of them, every weekend, and many of them, of course , have views which are of course, have views which are seen as anti—semitic that do cross that line. they are going
3:19 pm
to have to come up with a way of deaung to have to come up with a way of dealing with this problem, going fonnard because it doesn't look , fonnard because it doesn't look, at least for the moment, that it's a problem that's going to go away . go away. >> okay. mark wyatt, superb from the home office there. >> thank you much. let's >> thank you very much. let's move quicker now. joined move on quicker now. i'm joined by commentator move on quicker now. i'm joined by spence. 1entator move on quicker now. i'm joined by spence. benedict, benedict spence. benedict, welcome to the show. just a couple of days ago, we were seeing tories toast if seeing the tories are toast if suella gets slashed and here we are. yeah it happened. >> i think we all we all kind of knew that it was going to happen as much as, you know, she managed hold for the managed to hold on for the course weekend. course of the weekend. >> i think that was always >> i think that that was always on cards. i think it's a on the cards. i think it's a cunous on the cards. i think it's a curious move bringing david cameron into into government, because done a lot because i think it's done a lot to sort distract to actually sort of distract people inevitable people from the inevitable fallout suella braverman fallout of suella braverman being asked to leave . but i being asked to leave. but i think that this is now this is sort of setting in stone the reality that the right of the party, the more sort of the insurgent side of the party has lost for the time being, and
3:20 pm
that we will not be seeing a sort of a more right wing type of government going into the next general election. i think that the stall has been very firmly set out. that's not to say that we might not some say that we might not see some more going more right wing policies going fonnard, think that fonnard, because i think that there justified there are many justified criticisms, of suella criticisms, actually, of suella braverman performance. and we also of course also need to remember, of course , david cameron , that it's not david cameron that's her that's replacing her specifically. it's james cleverly brexiteer cleverly, you know, a brexiteer mp from that sort of essex wing of the brexit belt, if you like . of the brexit belt, if you like. so, you know, i don't think it's all all necessarily negative for the right of the party, but it's certainly a sign that for the time being the centre has recaptured the ground. i think. >> what kind of message do you think out, though, think it sends out, though, benedict, that the foreign secretary united kingdom secretary of the united kingdom is former prime minister who is a former prime minister who said, my biggest regret is brexit and there he is. he's meant to be representing britain on the international stage, living in eternal regret about the 17.4 million that voted for freedom. what does that say about what the tory party thinks about what the tory party thinks about a party? lest we forget,
3:21 pm
that was elected on a mandate of get brexit done ? get brexit done? >> well, that's the key thing, is that of course brexit has happened and most people are not happy with how it's happened. it could have been better, could have been done differently, but it and what this it has happened. and what this says less so much says i think, is less so much what brexiteers , more what it says to brexiteers, more what it says to brexiteers, more what to wavering what it says to wavering conservatives who might be considering lib or considering voting lib dem or heaven maybe even labour heaven forbid, maybe even labour at next general election. at the next general election. it's to them, look, we it's saying to them, look, we have not abandoned you, we're listening we're happy to have not abandoned you, we're listandg we're happy to have not abandoned you, we're listand give we're happy to have not abandoned you, we're listand give you we're happy to have not abandoned you, we're listand give you an 're happy to have not abandoned you, we're listand give you an olive ppy to try and give you an olive branch, conciliate. and what branch, be conciliate. and what i to brexiteers i think it says to brexiteers is, actually you guys have is, is actually you guys have you've to harder. you've got to try harder. i think that a lot of us, a lot of us who voted for brexit were lulled into a sense false lulled into a sense of false security with johnson security with boris johnson becoming minister and becoming prime minister and winning great stonking winning that great stonking great majority as as as they said actually, if you look think at the calibre of a lot of brexiteer ministers since i don't actually think they've done what they should have done, i don't think they've done as well as they should have done. i
3:22 pm
take suella braverman as an example talked a example of that. she's talked a good but that she's good game, but that is all she's done. she's and talked done. she's talked and talked and talked on her watch. actually, think that actually, i don't think that many things have improved, frankly, people can say frankly, and some people can say that because doesn't that that's because she doesn't necessarily the authority necessarily have the authority to so. she should have to do so. but she should have made earlier that made it clearer earlier that that she was fighting. that was what she was fighting. i have been i think what would have been better a brexit better would have been a brexit for secretary that took the for home secretary that took the rap when things go wrong, that held said held up the hands and said things perfect and need things are not perfect and need to fixed, but we're doing it to be fixed, but we're doing it rather than until were rather than wait until we were on of a yet another on the verge of a yet another pro—palestine march armistice pro—palestine march on armistice day then at that stage say day to then at that stage say nothing's working and throw the police under the bus. i think that was the issue. i don't think herself very that was the issue. i don't think i herself very that was the issue. i don't think i understand herself very that was the issue. i don't think i understand she's elf very that was the issue. i don't think i understand she's very ery well. i understand she's very popular. says a lot of the popular. she says a lot of the right but to be a right things. but to be a successful especially to successful leader, especially to be of the brexit wing be the face of the brexit wing of it takes more than of the party, it takes more than that. you need to follow through. that, ultimately that. you need to follow throu brexiteers1ltimately that. you need to follow throu brexiteers wanted. y what brexiteers wanted. they wanted control . wanted to take back control. they want to take they didn't just want to take back . back the rhetoric. >> superb stuff ever emma burnell expense . great. we'll burnell expense. great. we'll have on huge have loads more on this huge story little in this

3:28 pm
witnessed two tier policing. what we witnessed was police officers standing between people who were hell bent on violence and trying to attack another group and being the people in the middle who were going to take that brunt for group. take that brunt for that group. >> think you know, >> so i don't think you know, i said that it's quite said before that it's quite insulting that, you said before that it's quite insulting that , you know, to say insulting that, you know, to say that the police favour one group over other . over the other. >> you know, certain groups will engage such as , engage with the police, such as, you know, those those on the major protests will engage with police . and they set out routes police. and they set out routes and they had plans and things like will have been like that. they will have been there was a group there who in their group set on violence. their group was set on violence. but the other groups don't don't engage like that. they just turn up you know, the up and they make, you know, the police's job very, very difficult situations . difficult in those situations. >> okay. >> okay. >> there have been reports >> but there have been reports and well documented reports of grossly racist and anti—semitic stuff being shouted by some of those on the pro—palestine march death to all the jews, for example, hitler knew how to deal with all these people and even young children dressed as hamas
3:29 pm
terrorists posing for selfies with metropolitan police officers who were smiling away. so there's clearly a problem about the rhetoric and the language used on some of these marches. do you think that should lead to a clampdown on them happening in future weeks? because it seems like they'll be happening every saturday. >> yeah, i think i mean , >> yeah, i think i mean, certainly those those things that you see and those things are completely unacceptable. and when deal with when you when you deal with protests this, you've got, protests like this, you've got, you know, many, thousands protests like this, you've got, yo people many, thousands protests like this, you've got, yo people who |y, thousands protests like this, you've got, yo people who completelyyusands of people who completely and utterly the police. utterly outnumber the police. and there are, you know , there and there are, you know, there is that decision that you have and there are, you know, there is make ecision that you have and there are, you know, there is make against:hat you have and there are, you know, there is make against:hat jriskiave and there are, you know, there is make against:hat jrisk that to make against that risk that you pose to go into certain groups . now, you pose to go into certain groups. now, a number of officers were were unfortunately deaung officers were were unfortunately dealing with one particular group who were hell bent on violence. and so that risk of that other officers on the other protest to go and take away protest to go in and take away officers those arrests officers to make those arrests is not great. it never plays out well. of course , as you're well. but of course, as you're saying that, know, saying there, that, you know, sir mark rowley has already said many needs the many times that he needs the laws in place to be able to

3:34 pm
barrister through the 2000 and several unsuccessful attempts to stand for parliament, braverman was elected in the safe conservative seat of fareham in 2015. her political career was forged in the fires of the brexit referendum, opposing her party leader in declaring for leave and after the referendum , leave and after the referendum, chairing the hard line brexit supporting european research group of conservative mps, she became known as a brexit spartan , having voted against theresa may's brexit deal on all three occasions, leading to may's resignation as prime minister >> i'm about to go to buckingham palace to tender my resignation to her majesty the queen under bofis to her majesty the queen under boris johnson. >> braverman star rose becoming attorney general in february 2020. in the role she was accused of politically driven meddling by referring the acquittal of the black lives matter activists who tore down bristol's colston statue to the court of appeal. despite the criticism, she was later vindicated when the lord chief
3:35 pm
justice concluded significant damage to property was not covered by the right to protest. as boris johnson's government was collapsing. braverman announced her intention to stand in the subsequent leadership election . although she did not election. although she did not resign her role, she stood on a right wing platform and was eliminated in the second round. >> suella braverman is eliminated . dated from the eliminated. dated from the contai west under liz truss. >> braverman became home secretary, albeit resigning after 43 days following a row over migration liberalisation and what she described as a technical breach of the ministerial code over the sharing of a document from her personal email address . just personal email address. just days later. however she was reappointed to the role by the new prime minister, rishi sunak, in it, she made stopping small boat arrivals on england's southern coast, her driving mission from championing the rwanda partnership negotiated by her predecessor for to steering the landmark illegal migration bill through parliament with the
3:36 pm
home secretary gone, many on the left will cheer. however. rishi sunakis left will cheer. however. rishi sunak is now more exposed and vulnerable on his right. tensions between the former home secretary and prime minister began to grow over her response to pro—palestinian demonstrations, which she described as hate marches. they came to a breaking point when braverman defied orders from number 10 to remove what were described as incendiary lines from an opinion article which was seen as criticising the police . police. >> well, i'm joined now by labour mp for brigg and kemptown lloyd russell—moyle . good lloyd russell—moyle. good afternoon to you. thanks for joining us on the show. you must be delighted . the conservative be delighted. the conservative party absolutely imploding. party is absolutely imploding. rishi is handing sir keir starmer the keys to number 10 without you having to lift finger. >> well, clearly the conservatives have lost the will to govern, but we've known that for a long time, haven't we? >> we've known that rishi is just being being strung along as a leader. that's going to be the
3:37 pm
fall guy. and the big question in most of the conservative lips is who's going to be the leader in opposition? and i suspect that's why suella wrote those articles that were disrespectful for the police and actually incited these rioters that came on armistice day and caused great damage and were shouting racist and nasty slogans . racist and nasty slogans. >> but there are a lot of people on the other march who were shouting nasty things such as death to all the jews, hitler knew how to deal with all these people and has to be said, people and it has to be said, a lot of the people on those marches are card carrying labour supporters. you think that supporters. do you think that labour's position all labour's position on on all of this fanned flames this has fanned the flames on that debate too? that side of the debate too? >> no. well labour's position has been nuanced on it, hasn't it? we've said we understand people's right to protest within the law and that there should be a humanitarian pause. i believe that it should be a ceasefire. but labour's position has not been the police are been saying that the police are wrong sided. for wrong and they're one sided. for example . and think suella we example. and think suella we know already is. as i said on
3:38 pm
previous interviews, a nasty piece of work. she picks out a group of people and tries to target them. and she did that with migrants , lgbt migrants and with migrants, lgbt migrants and refugees earlier on in the year . refugees earlier on in the year. she's now doing that with these demonstrate actions. and actually it's just totally unhelpful if we want to live in a liberal society, we have to let people say things that we think are disgusting and wrong, but we don't criminalise them. and criminalised , and when they are criminalised, then we to allow due then we need to allow due process. doesn't help process. it doesn't help undermining police and undermining the police and rallying your boys to come rallying your proud boys to come and smash up things around the around the cenotaph , which was around the cenotaph, which was disgraceful. and she needs to go for that. well lloyd, on the one hand, like a moment ago, you say you believe in free speech and saying nasty things that you may not sound of, then not like the sound of, but then when the secretary when the home secretary says them, sir keir starmer and a load of the labour party demand that she's fired. >> true position? >> what's your true position? free don't seem understand >> you don't seem to understand free speech, i'm afraid. then, mate , the difference is that mate, the difference is that i don't believe the state should
3:39 pm
be criminalised . paying people be criminalised. paying people for free speech things. i don't think we need to be punishing the for not enforcing the police for not enforcing things that are legal, but unpleasant. but i things that are legal, but unpleasant. buti do things that are legal, but unpleasant. but i do think that people be responsible for people should be responsible for what they and say what they say. and if they say things are unpleasant or things that are unpleasant or unworkable, directly go unworkable, if they directly go against orders of their boss in any workplace, ignore any workplace, if you ignore what said and it's what your boss has said and it's , 0h, what your boss has said and it's , oh, he's gone just about to get stuck into him, then in a good way, of course. >> i wanted to ask him why people believe it's an appropriate response to ask for appropriate response to ask for a ceasefire after terrorists invade your country and murder, decapitate and kidnap people, for example. if that happened in brighton, would lloyd be calling for a ceasefire or a proportionate response ? we hear proportionate response? we hear this all the time. is lloyd back ? lloyd back. sorry. what a bit of a gremlin there. that's fine. >> parliament internet doesn't like doesn't like gb news for some reason . look, i heard that some reason. look, i heard that question that you're just asking there, which is about
3:40 pm
proportionate responses . quite proportionate responses. quite right. proportionate responses are needed. and there's international law framework to permit currently permit that. currently international frameworks. i don't believe are being met a ceasefire is on both sides and in the end, that's what will have to happen . there will need have to happen. there will need to be some sort of ceasefire . my to be some sort of ceasefire. my view is that we need to push for that sooner rather than later and then we need to, through criminal processes and through actions, sure we dismantle actions, make sure we dismantle hamas get those hostages hamas and get those hostages released. there no released. there is no contradiction to saying there needs to be action against hamas and saying there to be and saying there needs to be a ceasefire humanitarian ceasefire for humanitarian purposes. and if brighton had been attacked like we were with the ira when they bombed a hotel in our city, i did not and others did not suggest that we go and mass bomb parts of northern ireland. in fact, we tried to do collective punishment and it was an absolute disaster. so let's learn from our history that those kinds of responses don't work . israeli people, jewish work. israeli people, jewish people will be hurting. we need to great sympathy for that.
3:41 pm
to have great sympathy for that. hurt that doesn't mean hurt but that doesn't mean that we along with a knee we need to go along with a knee jerk reaction. >> russell—moyle, >> okay, lloyd russell—moyle, we'll it there. we'll have to leave it there. thanks for joining we'll have to leave it there. thanks forjoining us on gb thanks for joining us on gb news. and think did like news. and i think he did like us, if the internet didn't. us, even if the internet didn't. well, we've been updating you on the fallout as suella braverman's sacking as home secretary. successor, james secretary. her successor, james cleverly, posted this cleverly, has just posted this on x, which of course was formerly known as twitter. on x, which of course was forritrly known as twitter. on x, which of course was forr it is' known as twitter. on x, which of course was forr it is a nown as twitter. on x, which of course was forr it is a genuine twitter. on x, which of course was forr it is a genuine privilege to >> it is a genuine privilege to be appointed as the home secretary. it is my priority and indeed the priority of the whole government to make sure that everybody, everybody is able to go about their lives in peace and security and driving down crime, particularly clearly illegal migration and tackling those evil people, traffickers . those evil people, traffickers. we will stop the boats . we will stop the boats. >> words that may come back to haunt him. and to get more reaction on that, i'm joined by william atkinson, who is the assistant editor, of course, of conservative home. william thanks for joining great to thanks for joining us. great to see i will stop boats. see you. i will stop the boats.
3:42 pm
he said. well, 615 illegals arrived yesterday on remembrance sunday. do you think he's got a hopein sunday. do you think he's got a hope in hell of actually fulfilling that brief? they've been promising now for many months . months. >> well, the crucial factor about stopping the boats will, of course , come with the rwanda of course, come with the rwanda decision at the supreme court on wednesday, which i think the government currently believes is likely to go against it. >> that obviously >> and so that will obviously make a lot more make its job a lot more difficult. also, i mean, difficult. and also, i mean, frankly, doesn't frankly, it doesn't really matter secretary matter who the home secretary is on department. the home on this department. the home office as office is widely known as a joke, of the small joke, and most of the small boats is run out of boats policy is run out of number 10 and the only number 10 anyway. and the only major replacing major difference with replacing suella braverman james suella braverman with james cleverly longer cleverly is you're no longer going likes going to have somebody who likes to talk good game, especially to talk a good game, especially when against the when it goes against the government's line and distracts from but from its overall agenda, but actually fails to deliver anything . so james anything in practice. so james cleverly, his job really is to bat out time until the election while rishi sunak number bat out time until the election whteamshi sunak number bat out time until the election whteam actually( number bat out time until the election whteam actually work number bat out time until the election whteam actually work on number 10 team actually work on stopping the boats. >> interesting because in >> it's interesting because in the table of ministers on the league table of ministers on conservativehome suella braverman ranks very highly , but
3:43 pm
braverman ranks very highly, but so does james cleverly. he's very well by concert very well liked by concert creatives in that respect , that creatives in that respect, that respect. do you think he's got the beef for this job or would he be all mouth and no trousers? well i would just like to come back to you on that suella braverman has never done particularly well survey. particularly well in our survey. >> usually pretty >> she's usually been pretty mid—table and cleverly actually managed to top it last month, replacing kemi badenoch . i think replacing kemi badenoch. i think that's largely as a consequence of his suit, which shall we of his his suit, which shall we say, handling of the situation in in israel . say, handling of the situation in in israel. i say, handling of the situation in in israel . i would say that, in in israel. i would say that, you know , cleverly is you know, cleverly is fundamentally quite a team player. he's a very good media performer. he's widely liked as a departmental minister. i mean, the foreign office would be sorry to see him go as i say, i think he's minister for basically making sure the home office doesn't produce too many stories the next stories between now and the next election. is the habit election. alas, it is the habit of the home office to produce stories for man who stories so low for a man who would been hoping that the would have been hoping that the foreign have foreign office might have been an springboard a an easy springboard into a leadership election after the next election. i think
3:44 pm
unfortunately , he's going unfortunately, he's now going to find historic , been find that it has historic, been the graveyard political the graveyard of political careers. >> william atkinson, we're >> okay, william atkinson, we're going to have to leave it there. i could have talked to you all day about this, but we have to move simply because of time move on simply because of time and a third 13 to year and a third of 13 to 17 year olds footage of real olds have seen footage of real life violence on the social media platform. tiktok in this life violence on the social mediyear.tform. tiktok in this life violence on the social mediyear. this|. tiktok in this life violence on the social mediyear. this is'iktok in this life violence on the social mediyear. this is a.tok in this life violence on the social mediyear. this is a huge] this past year. this is a huge problem. i'm martin daubney on gb news and this is britain's news channel .

3:51 pm
rest in peace, sir bobby. a true , gentle giant of the game now a third of 13 to 17 year olds have seen footage of real life violence on tiktok in this past yean violence on tiktok in this past year. and across all social media platforms, almost half of children have watched clips of fights. the survey also found that more than a quarter of teenagers had seen posts showing or encouraging harm to women and girls. well joining us now is behavioural psychologist jo hemmings. joe i think this is something that's really concerning. i'm a libertaire marion. i'm not into censorship, but one thing i know from my own children's experiences of seeing this violence , often it's staged this violence, often it's staged . it's a form of bullying fights or started at school . they're or started at school. they're filmed, they're spread around . filmed, they're spread around. it's a great way of shaming people . and i think it's people. and i think it's a pretty sinister thing. and we should do something about it. what you think? what do you think? >> agree with you in that >> i agree with you in that regard. >> look , i think, you know, this >> look, i think, you know, this is going up.
3:52 pm
>> this is on the increase. this is due to algorithms on tiktok or instagram where they are not preventing the scene. >> and i think teenagers , it's >> and i think teenagers, it's really distressing . really distressing. >> they often won't speak about what they're seeing. but parents will see it in their behaviour. they either mimic that behaviour or impressed by too young, impressionable , do anything else impressionable, do anything else or they become withdrawn. it scares them and it's just a really unpleasant thing. it's uninvite united, it just appears on their stream with ever increasing frequency. do you think there's a debate to be had about , for example, revenge porn ? >> porn was outlawed 7 >> porn was outlawed because of the huge damage that can cause to women and girls and lads. of course, we saw there. that's becoming a huge issue. but i really do believe that when people specifically and deliberately start fights and they film it and they share it as a way of destroying people's lives, as a form of digital bullying , lives, as a form of digital bullying, something lives, as a form of digital bullying , something needs to be bullying, something needs to be done because this destroying done because this is destroying young lives . you yeah,
3:53 pm
young people's lives. you yeah, it is. >> and i think the only way is to sort of educate people into what this is doing for parents to talk to them, for schools, to talk to them, for them to get the sense that what they're doing is , is bullying is sad, is doing is, is bullying is sad, is not clever, it's not big, it's not clever, it's not big, it's not bright , not clever, it's not big, it's not bright, and it's actually scaring some people. and not in the kind of way that they intend. it's not making them look bigger people. i just think it's got to come partly from education. it's got to come partly from rinsing those algorithms that stop these things being spread so easily and actually talking to teenagers about it who, as i say , very often will not talk about what they've seen. the last thing you want to do is to get them inured to it, i.e. they get used it and literally used to seeing it and literally absorb of behaviour absorb that sort of behaviour into the way that they process the world. that's the most frightening thing of all. >> hemmings, you >> okay, jo hemmings, thank you for joining that. i mean, forjoining us on that. i mean, i this is a huge issue.
3:54 pm
i think this is a huge issue. i really do. i reread do because it ruins people's lives. i'm a libertarian, but also want to protect children. and this violence through tiktok, this bullying, think stop. bullying, i think has to stop. well, been a day of high well, it's been a day of high drama in the heart of government. braverman government. suella braverman has been while david been sacked. and while david cameron made a shock return cameron has made a shock return to the cabinet, i want to know what that means for you. who do you think the tory party is? toast. they've got david cameron back. remember biggest back. you remember his biggest regret brexit. and yet here regret is brexit. and yet here he is as the foreign secretary. what are you being contacted me saying? they think it's over for the tories. want to know what the tories. i want to know what you think this because you think on this topic because it's huge topic. in the it's a huge, huge topic. in the meantime, i'll be back soon. i'm martin daubney news. this martin daubney on gb news. this is britain's news channel . is britain's news channel. >> i'm alex deakin . this is your >> i'm alex deakin. this is your latest weather update from the met office right here on gb news storm debby will be clearing away through this evening, but for the rest of this week there will be further spells of wet

4:11 pm
king's speech. ditto will these big moves now getting this cabinet ready, presuming , ali, cabinet ready, presuming, ali, to go into the next election, start to shift the dial now on suella braverman. okay. that has been widely predicted. now for a few days. there's plenty of people on the right of the conservative party very unhappy about that indeed . they feel about that indeed. they feel that there's a real shift taking place today back to the centre ground. but a yougov poll snap yougov poll out today said that people polled . 57% of those people polled. 57% of those polled thought that it was right for rishi sunak to sack suella braverman and only 20% that it was wrong even among conservative voters are more conservative voters are more conservative voters are more conservative voters to 2019. more thought that it was right that she should go than wrong . that she should go than wrong. but david cameron , that's all but david cameron, that's all together . a different kettle of together. a different kettle of fish isn't it? and really massively divisive. you could
4:12 pm
predicted that suella braverman was going to get the chop, but who would have thought that ex—prime minister, the man that led us into the brexit referendum and then when he went the way he didn't want it to go, basically he walked off would be brought back into one of the highest offices is as foreign secretary and the same yougov poll only about a quarter of people asked thought that that was good. about 40% said they didn't know and 35% think that thatis didn't know and 35% think that that is not a good idea. now, there's plenty of conservatives very happy about it. there's plenty of conservatives very happy about it . think that very happy about it. think that the grown ups are back in charge. let's see. let's see some other move is, of course, victoria atkins to health. steve barclay to the environment. we've suspected for a long time that teresa coffey was the environment secretary. she was a key ally of liz truss. we thought she would go steve barclay gone from health. will victoria atkins be able to have a better relation with the

4:14 pm
news because you've got a prime minister simply pulling back. >> one of his predecessors to come and do the job of international relations. it's just mortified. >> but of course, james, while the conservatives undeniably have their own issues, so does the labour party, particularly still around your palestine problem. and we've seen with the march on saturday hugely anti—semitic things being shouted out, hugely damaging things. and of course a lot of people on the political left from the labour party are augned from the labour party are aligned with these people. do you think it's time for the labour party denounce hamas, labour party to denounce hamas, to from these to make a distance from these protests call for them to to make a distance from these pro banned call for them to to make a distance from these probanned and call for them to to make a distance from these probanned and admityr them to to make a distance from these pro banned and admit maybe to to make a distance from these probanned and admit maybe suella be banned and admit maybe suella braverman had a point? >> i think the labour party has done that it needs to done everything that it needs to done everything that it needs to do past couple of years do in the past couple of years under starmer to really under keir starmer to really take on that issue of anti—semitism and i think it's won the trust of those won back the trust of those jewish communities doing so. >> and think that >> and i think the line that keir is keir starmer walks now is a cautious is the line that cautious one, is the line that any minister should any future prime minister should be walking, is caution the be walking, which is caution the direct opposite of what we saw
4:15 pm
rocketman doing as secretary, which was incendiary language , which was incendiary language, you know, chaos division all over the place. >> we need sensible government and i think labour to step up to the plate. >> do you think, james, that sir keir starmer is he's very well known sitting on a fence so known for sitting on a fence so long he might as well get a job in being new. is this what the point is now? like, you point is now? it's like, you know, let's say that we think israel has the right to defend itself, let's have 350 itself, but also let's have 350 counsellors demand a ceasefire, 11 resign, including a minister resignation . watch for other resignation. watch for other ministers. we hear . so it's resignation. watch for other ministers. we hear. so it's a balancing act that you can't sit on the fence for forever, isn't it ? it? >> you're absolutely right. and it is a challenge. and being the leader of a political party in britain, being a prime minister who always has to be the leader of a political party, if we remember from our system it remember from our system as it is unfortunately, is at the moment, unfortunately, the that works means the way that that works means that have balance of that you have to balance all of these bits and pieces, i think. keir tackling keir starmer's work in tackling the issues early on in his the party issues early on in his leadership is starting to pay
4:16 pm
off now because he say we've off now because he can say we've got under control got these elements under control . done hard work, . we've done the hard work, we've into and fixed our we've looked into and fixed our problems, which we had many of and we've dealt with them head on. we can prepare for on. now we can prepare for government and mean look at the shambles currently shambles that's currently sitting the moment when sitting there at the moment when you've people on sitting there at the moment when you world people on sitting there at the moment when you world stage people on sitting there at the moment when you world stage look, people on sitting there at the moment when you world stage look, imagineon sitting there at the moment when you world stage look, imagine if the world stage look, imagine if we had joe biden calling bill clinton you know, to deal clinton back, you know, to deal with international relations without, be without, you know, we'd be laughing america and rightly without, you know, we'd be lau theg america and rightly without, you know, we'd be lau the rest america and rightly without, you know, we'd be lau the rest of1erica and rightly without, you know, we'd be lau the rest of the:a and rightly without, you know, we'd be lau the rest of the world rightly without, you know, we'd be lau the rest of the world ithtly so. the rest of the world is laughing at at the moment, laughing at us at the moment, unfortunately. okay >> former labour >> james matheson, former labour party spokesman, for party spokesman, thanks for joining always joining us on gb news. always a pleasure. we've been pleasure. well, we've been getting perspective of getting the perspective of across world to across the political world to the of suella braverman across the political world to thehome of suella braverman across the political world to thehome secretary.la braverman across the political world to thehome secretary .a braverman across the political world to thehome secretary . andiverman across the political world to thehome secretary . and here'sn as home secretary. and here's what lloyd russell—moyle , labour what lloyd russell—moyle, labour mp brighton kemptown , told mp for brighton kemptown, told me a little earlier . me a little earlier. >> well, clearly the conservatives have lost the will to govern , but we've known that to govern, but we've known that for a long time , haven't we? for a long time, haven't we? we've known that rishi is just being strung along as a leader. that's going to be the fall guy and the big question in most of the conservative lips is who's
4:17 pm
going to be the leader in opposition ? and i suspect that's opposition? and i suspect that's why suella wrote those articles that were disrespectful for the police and actually incited these rioters that came on armistice day and caused great damage. and were shouting racist and nasty slogans . and nasty slogans. >> okay, david cameron has returned to the cabinet more than seven years after he resigned as prime minister he quit, if you recall, the day after losing the brexit referendum in 2016. and check out this revelation from cameron in 2019. >> it's your greatest regret . >> it's your greatest regret. >> it's your greatest regret. >> well, the greatest regret is that we lost the referendum that i didn't prevail, that we could have fought perhaps a better campaign. we could have conducted perhaps a better negotiation, perhaps the timing wasn't right and that i didn't take the country with me on what i thought was a really important issue. >> and there we have it. after a

4:27 pm
safe and secure and took the moment to thank the police for making that environment happen. we can't , you know, we can't we can't, you know, we can't hide away from the fact that it was different this year. there was different this year. there was group of people and was a large group of people and there another group of there were another group of people well trying to disrupt people as well trying to disrupt what they were up to. and we were kind of in the middle of that. there's that. and i just think there's been much too politics, much been too much too politics, much attention extreme elements of attention to extreme elements of our which in the our society which are in the minority we should be minority when we should be focusing exactly what you just did. now, moment ago in that did. now, a moment ago in that clip on remembrance. >> yeah. and it was was >> yeah. and it was it was incredibly sort of to see incredibly sort of sad to see the clashes . nobody wanted those the clashes. nobody wanted those clashes as a consequence. it is taken the scalp of the home secretary suella braverman do you think that was the right thing to do for her to go? >> well, whether or not it's right or wrong, i'll leave that both to the prime minister and the conservative party to decide and membership. but i the conservative party to decide and membership. buti don't and its membership. but i don't think comments in lead think her comments in the lead up to that were particularly helpful. it detract away from the of remembrance. the core message of remembrance.

4:34 pm
get more on the shock return now of david cameron to government. the former prime minister has replaced james cleverly as foreign secretary. he'll be given a peerage, so we must now call him lord david cameron . call him lord david cameron. well, joining me now is sean werth, who's the former downing street adviser , special adviser street adviser, special adviser to prime minister david cameron. so he'll know a thing or two about his special qualities. sean, let's make the case for david cameron dramatically returning back to the state of foreign office. foreign secretary, why will he be good at that job? >> well, on that job, i think there's a much wider issue here. but on that specific job, i think, you know, he's he's massively respected by diplomats. >> international , all other >> international, all other countries , the international community. >> but i think this is much bigger than that. >> i think his return is going to be about the general election because, frankly, you didn't need to bring david cameron back to be foreign secretary there's
4:35 pm
plenty of people that you could have post. but let's have put in that post. but let's face , you know, he's as well face it, you know, he's as well as tony blair, whether you like him or not. david cameron is probably one best probably one of the best political community communicators this country . communicators in this country. he's brilliant at reaching out to the electorate on any particular issue. and i think he's just going to be a huge figure going from now until that general election . and what rishi general election. and what rishi sunak has i mean, remember sunak has done, i mean, remember . sunak has done, i mean, remember a . sunak has done, i mean, remember , a bit of , he's been under a bit of pressure internally his pressure from internally in his party to get that whole gap that he's got there . the conservative he's got there. the conservative party now is consistently between 16 and 22 points. i think it is behind labour and that hasn't really moved. so people would either call for him to be changed to make something happen or he has to change everything up. and i think obviously his his interest is doing the latter and just revamping the team. and the issue with suella braverman has basically brought that fonnard. and we're seeing it all
4:36 pm
unravelling today. sean do you think this back to the future approach is the right one to take, though, because let's face it, cameron's last major contribution to british politics was when he resigned dramatically after the brexit referendum in fact, he said his biggest regret was losing the referendum. >> and yet now he's meant to be representing britain on the foreign stage. is that really the right person for the right job? >> well, for just him personally, actually, it's a bit of a kind of redemption because obviously he won't have wanted to go out like he did and lose be on the losing side of a referendum and then having to resign. >> so this is something for him to come back and do a decent, serious job. >> for rishi sunak and their >> but for rishi sunak and their team , i mean, look, you know, team, i mean, look, you know, you can be you can be unkind and say why the team was kind of flagging a bit. and it is a bit inexperienced. and what he does do is bring one of only two people is him and boris johnson in the last literature, i think
4:37 pm
it's 30 years that have won a general election for the conservative party. >> no other leader has been able to that. to do that. >> was actually the first >> he was actually the first leader to be able to win a general with the general election with the conservative party a quarter general election with the conscentury party a quarter general election with the conscentury when a quarter general election with the conscentury when hea quarter general election with the conscentury when he didiarter general election with the conscentury when he did it'ter of a century when he did it outright in 2015 and obviously 2010, i came in with him 2010, where i came in with him and worked in that government, that was the first time we'd beenin that was the first time we'd been in office for 13 years. so so he's huge experience. so he's got huge experience. he's great election he's got great election experience around the cabinet table. i think that's where the big be. remember, big value will be. and remember, you , the foreign secretary you know, the foreign secretary job and think aboutjames cleverly who's currently sorry before today was in that job. he didn't really see a great deal from him. but going towards a general election and the foreign secretary role, there's a lot of international travel you're deaung international travel you're dealing with the big issues around middle east. let's say, you know, global warming, climate change conferences , all climate change conferences, all of that. but with somebody like david cameron, you know, he's going to be followed by the media everywhere he goes. he's going to be asked about every single when you get
4:38 pm
single issue. and when you get into a general election campaign, if you think about some of the other appointments that have also been made, which we can talk about, if you'd like, i think he's just part of a i think a beefing up of the team a bit more team to be a bit more professional, a bit people that are going to be a bit more kind of communication wise, just on message . i don't think the message. i don't think the policy environment is going to change at all, actually. and david cameron, you know, he won't want to be a backseat driver trying to change policy in foreign anything in foreign affairs or anything like he'll whatever like that. he'll do whatever number him to do, but number 10 want him to do, but he'll just be he'll be in that team towards team now going towards the election, salvage election, just trying to salvage a pole position, really, and just get the conservative party back on an election footing . back on an election footing. >> and sean, what do you make of the widespread criticism? because, of course, david cameron isn't a sitting member of parliament, so they going to have to shoehorn him as have to shoehorn him in as a lord stand as the lord so he can stand as the foreign secretary. but that, of course, means he won't be subject within subject to scrutiny within the commons aren't commons because lords aren't allowed in there along with
4:39 pm
miners not coal miners, children and prisoners . so he won't be and prisoners. so he won't be allowed in there to face cross—examination, which you'd think i don't know, wars think during, i don't know, wars in israel in the ukraine in israel, wars in the ukraine might be quite useful if he can be scrutinised . be scrutinised. >> there is an argument >> yeah, there is an argument for that and i'm sure the labour party and some bits of the media are but it's are pushing it, but it's a procedural know, procedural thing and you know, if the if you're the if you're the if you're the number right now , that's number 10 team right now, that's an that , you know, it's an issue that, you know, it's a minor thing to have to deal with. there are other ministers that the commons, that that are in the commons, that are in the foreign secretary's team that take those those team that can take those those house meetings . and house of commons meetings. and he's obviously a subject still to parliamentary committees so they can drag him in front of an urgent committee on any particular issue they like. i don't see any issue with that. the real the real situation here is that rishi sunak is trying to get experience back in the team and suella braverman and can i if i can raise that just if i can raise thatjust briefly, i mean, that's the, that's the other big story. is david cameron coming in suella
4:40 pm
braverman out suella braverman and i don't think her policy position is i know, i know this channel we, they do a lot on immigration and boats and all of that. immigration and boats and all of that . i immigration and boats and all of that. i don't think that your viewers to see a huge viewers are going to see a huge change in policy here. suella braverman unfortunately braverman i think unfortunately for her, just wasn't sort of polished and professional enough to take a general election to take into a general election campaign . i think james cleverly campaign. i think james cleverly is very shortly, if he hasn't doneit is very shortly, if he hasn't done it already , going to come done it already, going to come out a statement his out with a statement about his priorities as home secretary i'm sure will include getting sure they will include getting immigration back under control . immigration back under control. they will include dealing with, uh, you know, pro tests. and when they go out of hand and start attacking our culture and our monuments and all of that , our monuments and all of that, i'm sure that james cleverly is going to very swiftly come out and start reassure , assuring and start reassure, assuring people that the policy direction that suella braverman represented won't change. but he's bit more of he's just a bit more of a polished political community and operator and unfortunately with suella, i think she just couldn't sometimes handle the kind of, you know , the rough and
4:41 pm
kind of, you know, the rough and tumble of the job where you've just got to get the message right, regardless of where you are, whether it's an unguarded moment, you're moment, whether you're in an event , whether you're doing event, whether you're doing a speech, you're an speech, whether you're giving an article newspaper, you've article to a newspaper, you've got be, you know, 100% on got to be, you know, 100% on message with number 10. and unfortunately, she like loose cannon, really . and that's cannon, really. and that's politics. you know , you get rid politics. you know, you get rid of some people, you bring in others. at the end of the day , others. at the end of the day, this is about bringing the best team you can together for the general election campaign . and i general election campaign. and i think that's what we're going to see okay, think that's what we're going to seeokay, sean, a lot of >> okay, sean, a lot of conservative voters might have been the comeback conservative voters might have beerthe the comeback conservative voters might have beerthe former the comeback conservative voters might have beerthe former prime comeback conservative voters might have beerthe former prime ministerk kid, the former prime minister who hoved view save the who hoved into view to save the day be boris johnson. but day would be boris johnson. but nevertheless, cameron nevertheless, it's david cameron . what's it for him ? because .what's in it for him? because presumably life is a lot less stressful and a lot more lucrative outside of politics. why would he want to come back? what's in it for david cameron ? what's in it for david cameron? >> well, you know , you think >> well, you know, you think he's still in his prime. if you think about serious people running all the top companies in
4:42 pm
this country, they're all exactly the same age as him, whether they're chairs of the most successful companies or they're ceos . you know, in they're ceos. you know, in politics, you know, the guy became prime minister, i think, at the age of 42, if my memory is correct, which was relatively young, then he's absolutely in the prime of his his life. you know, he's got the authority . know, he's got the authority. he's got the experience. he's got the judgement. it's a waste to go into retirement. and so and so. so there's obviously a contribution he can still make, which i think is a really big one, although he won't be a backseat driver, as i said earlier, he'll take the number 10 line and he'll help in the general election campaign. but in terms of him personally , i in terms of him personally, i think he did exit politics with a with a bit of a kind of bad mark on his name because he brought the country towards a brought the country towards a brought the country into a referendum that he then lost and had to resign from. so he wants he wants some sort of redemption
4:43 pm
. and this is clearly what's going to happen. >> i don't think many people sean had david cameron on their comeback bingo card. i certainly didn't . you know the guy. were didn't. you know the guy. were you shocked ? as shocked as we you shocked? as shocked as we all were . all were. >> i knew he would come back in some sort of role . and i know some sort of role. and i know he's been thinking about this sort of job for a while, but yeah, very surprised today . i yeah, very surprised today. i think this reshuffle was probably meant for the new year, but there were a lot of pressures with suella braverman and all of that. um you know, and all of that. um you know, and they had to bring it fonnard and they had to bring it fonnard and start planning for that a couple of weeks ago and sort of, you know, around trying to you know, run around trying to get people together to put it together i mean, it together. but yeah, i mean, it it is a big shock. it led the news this morning. there's a lot of changes actually across government and across the cabinet. but he is obviously the big story. and i think they did the right thing by announcing that because that one first. right. because that one first. right. because that of the tone for that kind of set the tone for the rest of day. so, yeah,
4:44 pm
the rest of the day. so, yeah, completely surprised . completely surprised. >> woodward former >> okay. shaun woodward former downing street adviser, special adviser to david cameron. we were certainly surprised here because it's been a dramatic day at downing street. let's cross now speak to our now live and speak to our political correspondent, catherine fs. catherine, catherine four fs. catherine, what's ? what's the latest? >> what a day. and still a feeling. there's been lots of comings and goings, hasn't there? most spectacularly . david there? most spectacularly. david cameron, a moment that i don't think anyone in the street was expecting, but a feeling that this is not over yet. there are press everywhere. lights camera. we've had the announcement in the last few minutes that lee rowley is the new housing secretary rachel mclean, who had that job, was very reluctant to let it go. but basically she didn't have any choice. that now bnngs didn't have any choice. that now brings the number of housing secretaries to about 16 since 2010 are quite extraordinary number. and i think it demonstrates just the level of churn. sure, we've had 13 years
4:45 pm
of conservative government, but we've had so many different prime ministers, so many different ministers, a huge number of education secretaries , number of education secretaries, too. so, yes , the big too. so, yes, the big announcement this morning, first of all, the sacking of suella braverman , i think that was braverman, i think that was widely expected . and lots of widely expected. and lots of people on the right of the conservative party deeply, deeply unhappy about that. and the same people are also very unhappy about the appointment of david cameron. it seemed to come out of nowhere. number 10 have kept that very , very quiet kept that very, very quiet indeed. kept that very, very quiet indeed . and although there's indeed. and although there's plenty of people on the sort of one nation end of the conservative lives thinking, yes, this is definitely a step in the right direction , i think in the right direction, i think there are real concerns over his appointment. first of all, it's only a few weeks ago that rishi sunak was saying he was the change candidate. he was basically rubbishing the last 30 years of political leadership, which of course would include six years when david cameron was
4:46 pm
prime minister and what has he done to demonstrate he's the change? well, he's brought back the former pr . says we lost the former pr. says we lost catherine there some technical gremlins maybe keir starmer's yanked out the internet. >> who'd be surprised he's still there. catherine no . there. catherine no. >> yeah, i'm here. can you hear me? martin we can hear you far away. >> you're just getting warmed up i >> -- >> i'm sorry. km >> i'm sorry. i don't know where you lost me, butjust >> i'm sorry. i don't know where you lost me, but just to >> i'm sorry. i don't know where you lost me, butjust to say >> i'm sorry. i don't know where you lost me, but just to say how extraordinary that david cameron should come back, he went he bought a 20 700 £0 shepherd's hut. he wrote the memoir in his garden , but he was at a bit of a garden, but he was at a bit of a loss. he he suggested to our political editor, chris hope a few years ago that, yes, he'd quite like come to quite like to come back to politics, but rather fancied foreign secretary who really thought that that would happen. but concerns about obviously there's the lobbying greensill scandal. now this has got to go through the house of lords appointments committee. ed
4:47 pm
davey, the lib dem leader, was earlier suggesting he thought there could be a real problem with that. and also about accountability , of course, accountability, of course, foreign secretary at the moment a huge job at any time, but particularly war in the middle east. war in ukraine. huge, huge issues. how are mps going to hold him to account when he is not one of those, when in fact he's only going to speak in the house of lords? so, sir lindsay hoyle has been questioning , has hoyle has been questioning, has been asking what's going to happen with that? it seems likely that perhaps andrew mitchell from the foreign office would speak in his place , but would speak in his place, but that's certainly quite problematic. but overall , it problematic. but overall, it feels like a shift back to the centre ground. it's not very long at all. there was a lot of talk about a possible shift to the right with the rowing back on net zero and with the party conference as well. it felt like there was momentum there , that
4:48 pm
there was momentum there, that perhaps the conservatives thought the way to narrow that poll was to move to the right. they were worried about the reform party eating up some of their votes, but it seems like today rishi sunak has decided to go in a different direction. he's brought in a lot of his allies . and yeah, there's going allies. and yeah, there's going to be plenty of conservatives very happy about that. but also a lot, a lot of suella braverman supporters among them will really have their noses out of joint. and of course, suella braverman an she said it had been a huge honour to serve as home secretary. she also said she would have more to say in due course. it will be fascinating waiting to see what she says. will she make a resignation speech? i'm sure we have not heard the last of suella braverman and catherine, it's been a day of bloodletting on the political right. >> the return of the centrist dad, the return of the remainers. you think catherine, there still be another there could still be another dramatic sting quickly in this day yet ? day yet? >> i think there could be. we're
4:49 pm
looking for who else might come. the downing street photographer is out here, which tends to suggest that something worth photographing is about to happen. so we are poised . we are happen. so we are poised. we are waiting as soon as anybody significant arrives or anything else breaks, we will come straight back to you, of course. >> martin okay. catherine fauci, you make sure you stay there, get a cup of tea, stay nice and warm. we'll be back with you at 5:00. now, on, white 5:00. now, moving on, white working are among the working class boys are among the lowest at school now lowest achievers at school now a new argues that kids should new book argues that kids should be be proud of their be taught to be proud of their working class background and origins. the authors want children to watch films, including cares. that's a beauty. and billy elliot and the book also says they should study the lyrics of songs by bands such as the jam and the specials. well joining me now is social policy analyst dr. raqeeb ahsan raqeeb. always a pleasure to have you on the show. isn't it rare to hear something nice about let's celebrate the joys of the white working classes , 20
4:50 pm
of the white working classes, 20 straight years at the bottom of education, not a single piece of policy out there to help them. is this the answer? teach them about british working class culture? >> well, i think that when we have these discussions on social mobility , what many people mean mobility, what many people mean is that people need to forsake their working class identity in order to make progress in life and that's something that i completely disagree with. >> i think this presents a very positive account of working class heritage , a history and class heritage, a history and i think that in a sense , by doing think that in a sense, by doing this, you can strengthen on social mobility without providing advice that people need to behave in a less working class way , that they need to class way, that they need to modify their accent in order to make progress in life. >> because i think that people really function best and truly thrive when they stick to their own beliefs. >> they take pride in their own identity and that they showed their determination, resilience to their way in the world. to make their way in the world. >> it's funny because now,
4:51 pm
looking this initiative on looking at this initiative on paper , you know, it should be paper, you know, it should be the sort thing i'm the sort of thing i like. i'm a coal miner son from nottingham. politically got involved politically i got involved in this issue my this precise issue as my beginning politics. i noticed beginning of politics. i noticed years and years ago that white working lads in particular working class lads in particular and girls are the least likely demographic to university demographic to go to university in all of britain. and yet there's a nagging doubt in this new initiative that it's about teaching working class people. they're oppressed and they can't change there's this change that. and there's this kind of class ceiling , which i kind of class ceiling, which i think is the wrong message . think is the wrong message. surely we should be saying, you can achieve success irrespective of where you come from, irrespective of how you talk, and maybe even bother and maybe don't even bother going to university. get a go to a more more kind of work based education and teach people to be proud rather than being oppressed? >> no, absolutely. and i think it's something that us to have talked about before . talked about before. >> craig a sort of multi route education system, a stronger emphasis on vocational skills and placing greater importance
4:52 pm
on apprenticeships and actually how apprenticeships could potentially be a springboard to further forms of education. i think that that's something that the government has failed to do actually. so i think that actually. so so i think that what don't want here is the what we don't want here is the encouragement of sort of class based grievance . we've seen that based grievance. we've seen that kind grievance politics kind of grievance politics really take hold in the spheres of sort racial and ethnic of sort of racial and ethnic studies. i wouldn't want that to go in this direction. >> i think this should be more of a celebration of working class to british class contributions to british history. i think particularly focusing on the contributions made during industrial made during the industrial revolution. i think it needs to be a more positive account as opposed indulging in those opposed to indulging in those more gloom narratives more doom and gloom narratives in how british society in terms of how british society is structured . is structured. >> yeah, totally agree because >> yeah, i totally agree because we only tend to hear about all the bits of british culture, the bad bits of british culture, you know, it football you know, be it football culture, be it the armed forces, you name it, you know, they tend to get denigrated. the empire by winston churchill and yet what we're not doing saying, you we're not doing is saying, you can you want. can achieve anything you want.
4:53 pm
and should getting and they should be getting help to so . no, no. to do so. no, no. >> absolute , ali. and i think >> absolute, ali. and i think that we've talked about these theories of white privilege before, which have really made their way into the school system. i completely reject. and this is the aggressive importation toxic american importation of toxic american racial identity politics. and i think this is a potentially positive way in terms of celebrating working class identity. referred to identity. you referred to football. there for me, martin. football clubs are not just commercial enterprises . they're commercial enterprises. they're they're arenas of what i call civic solidarity . and they make civic solidarity. and they make such a their vital community assets as well. so i think that we need to go into that kind of we need to go into that kind of we need to go into that direction really champion working class traditions , ensure working class traditions, ensure that don't really feel that students don't really feel culturally left behind their culturally left behind by their own education system . own education system. >> dr. rakib ahsan we have >> okay. dr. rakib ahsan we have to it there. it's always to leave it there. it's always a pleasure to you on gb pleasure to talk to you on gb news. thank you again. now news. thank you once again. now some big for you on some big news for you coming on gb a huge day in gb news it's been a huge day in british politics and tonight, don't a hour nigel don't miss a two hour nigel farage special on the sackings

5:08 pm
before a crunch supreme court decision on whether the government's rwanda deportation plan can actually happen. but perhaps the biggest shock of all was the appointment of david cameron as foreign secretary. the former prime minister returned to government and praised rishi sunak as a strong and capable leader. well i'm joined now by katherine forster. catherine, we did say that that could be one more dramatic sting in the tail of this. and it seems that esther mcvey, gb news presenter , has just gone through presenter, has just gone through that famous black door. what's the latest there ? the latest there? >> yes, she has. i shouted to are you heading back to government? she clearly is of course she didn't answer. but we will see what job she's given . will see what job she's given. of course, she's an experienced cabby minister. she's been mp for tatton as well for since 2015, i think. and so she's also to the right of the conservative party. so rishi sunak will hope that in appointing her that will
5:09 pm
shore up some of that support that he really does need. because in sacking suella braverman and in bringing back david cameron, certainly he has annoyed a number of conservative mps on the right. and bear in mind, we know the conservative party is basically a fractious coalition and he's trying to keep everybody on side . that's keep everybody on side. that's quite difficult. so he will hope that esther mcvey can help him with that. a few more details . with that. a few more details. okay. emerged from i'm afraid i'll be brief in there. >> i'm afraid i have to butt in because we have to go to david cameron, who's been speaking about his new as foreign about his new role as foreign secretary asked what secretary and was asked what he made new appointment. at made of his new appointment. at he's coming . okay, we haven't he's coming. okay, we haven't got that. but he's made his first announcement and he's already met the indian foreign secretary. i think we can have that clip now. >> challenges as a country , the >> challenges as a country, the conflict in the middle east, the war in ukraine and of course , i
5:10 pm
war in ukraine and of course, i hope that six years as prime minister 11 years leading the conservative party, gives me some useful experience and contacts and relationship and knowledge that i can help the prime minister to make sure we build our alliances. we build partnerships with our friends , partnerships with our friends, we deter our enemies , and we we deter our enemies, and we keep our country strong. that's why i'm doing the job and i'm delighted to accept. you have expressed publicly recently disagreements with the prime minister >> have you promised to button it? is it a collective responsibility from here on in? >> on the whole , as an ex prime >> on the whole, as an ex prime minister, i've tried to keep quiet about politics, stay out of politics. it's hard enough being without being prime minister without having success was having your success was endlessly predecessors endlessly your predecessors endlessly your predecessors endlessly giving a running commentary. but look, of course i've disagreed with some individual but individual decisions, but politics is a team enterprise and i've decided to join this team because i believe rishi sunakis team because i believe rishi sunak is a good prime minister, doing a difficult job at a hard time . i want
5:11 pm
doing a difficult job at a hard time. i want to doing a difficult job at a hard time . i want to support doing a difficult job at a hard time. i want to support him. i'm a member of the team and i accept the cabinet collective responsibility that comes with that. >> let's explore what you've been doing since you were prime minister. the treasury select committee you a committee accused you of a significant lack of judgement over ministers over your lobbying of ministers on finance company on behalf of the finance company greensill. should voters greensill. why should voters trust your judgement now ? trust your judgement now? >> well, the most important thing i've done since since leaving office was to act as president of alzheimer's research and to raise millions of pounds and help our scientists to get closer to a diagnosis and a cure for something that affects almost a million people in our country. but today i resign from all of those things, from all of the businesses i've been helping and all the other things i've been doing, including being a professor at nyu , that all professor at nyu, that all stops. i now have one job as foreign secretary of the united kingdom, and i'm very proud to work with our prime minister to try our country try and make sure our country can be as secure and as prosperous as possible. >> i noticed you ducked my question on greensill.
5:12 pm
>> there specific answer >> there a specific answer to that >> there a specific answer to tha the treasury select committee >> the treasury select committee branding a significant lack of judgement. >> well, think all those >> well, i think all those things were dealt with by the treasury committee, by treasury select committee, by are inquiries the are they other inquiries at the time ? and as far as i'm time? and as far as i'm concerned, that is all dealt with and in the past and i now have job as britain's have one job as britain's foreign secretary, part of foreign secretary, as part of rishi team, to try and rishi sunak's team, to try and make sure this country can be as secure and prosperous in secure and as prosperous in a difficult and dangerous world. you're going foreign you're going to be foreign secretary in house of lords. secretary in the house of lords. >> not unprecedented, but >> it's not unprecedented, but it unconventional. what do it is unconventional. what do you say to the speaker of the house of who is house of commons who is articulate a concern this afternoon about how you can be held account when you can't held to account when you can't appear house commons appear in the house of commons and from and face questions directly from mps and face questions directly from mp well, be held to >> well, i will be held to account the house of lords, account in the house of lords, where i have to account to form for for for myself and for the government course andrew government and of course andrew mitchell and a very talented team the foreign team of ministers at the foreign office held to account office will be held to account in house of commons. in the house of commons. i'll obviously in front of the obviously appear in front of the house of commons select committees as appropriate to answer questions and of
5:13 pm
answer the questions and of course this government, my role in all of that will be accountable to the electorate at the general election when it comes. but in the meantime, i want to do everything to strengthen our alliances , to strengthen our alliances, to work with our friends, to build those vital partnerships, to make sure our country is secure and prosperous in a difficult and prosperous in a difficult and dangerous world. that work starts now, and i've got to get on with it. >> there we go. who saw that coming? well, almost 60% of brits think rishi sunak was right to sack suella braverman as home secretary. only 20% think the prime minister has made a mistake. so what's sacking suella as home secretary? a good decision . but secretary? a good decision. but join me now in the studio is political commentator matthew stadlen . and down the line we've stadlen. and down the line we've got gb news presenter darren grimes. matthew i'm going to start with you. in word , how start with you. in a word, how would describe today chaos would you describe today chaos gone ? i mean, it really is, gone? i mean, it really is, isn't it? it's quite extraordinary . you did not see extraordinary. you did not see this coming. very few people in the country saw this coming. why
5:14 pm
do i describe it as chaos? not because i don't think that david cameron is a competent politician . i think he is politician. i think he is a competent politician. and i can see if you isolate the decision to appoint him as foreign secretary he i can some secretary he i can see some sense it at a time of turmoil sense in it at a time of turmoil around the world. it is good that we have someone of his stature in that role. why do i describe it as chaos? because just a few weeks ago, rishi sunak, the prime minister, was describing himself as the change candidate , even though we'd had candidate, even though we'd had 13 years of conservatives in number 10, including he himself, rishi sunak. now he's bringing back a former prime minister, someone who left politics. s seven years ago. so this is not going to inspire confidence amongst the general population that sunak knows what he's doing . it is interesting, though, that the silent majority today, according to that one poll, seem to have spoken on the issue of suella braverman an i think it's 57% think that sunak did on this
5:15 pm
make the right decision in sacking her. it's the wider picture that i'm looking at when i describe chaos. i think sunak is floundered around. i don't think he knows what he's doing. okay darren grimes when we last spoke , you said if suella got spoke, you said if suella got the sack , the tories would be the sack, the tories would be toast. do you still believe that? look i think relying on one poll that says that the home secretary's departure is the right thing to do. >> i look at the poll over the weekend that said that people were conservative voters, especially 75% of them completely behind what she was saying about two tier policing and the complete vile nature of those that we've seen taken to our streets, weekend outs since october the 7th. >> look , i actually want to ask >> look, i actually want to ask where the expected poll bump from ditching suella braverman is going to come. what happens? martin when you appease a mob who wouldn't vote tory, if, frankly, you paid them, right? rishi sunak could bring back eat out to help out and people still
5:16 pm
wouldn't be voting conservative for it, right? a pointing a china whisperer as foreign secretary at this time i think is an act of lunacy. it's like trying to win a football match by scoring own goals . it is a by scoring own goals. it is a deluded strategy and i think a grand mistake on the conservative party's part. matthew just to continue with the football analogy, you could compare it to a team in relegation in a desperate struggle for survival in the premier league, bringing back an ageing striker in a desperate bid to convince the league that they deserve their place at the top table. >> i use that word chaos earlier and i think voters sniff chaos . and i think voters sniff chaos. they can see it. it is politically toxic and it's chaotic because i don't think rishi sunak knows what his strategy is for the next election. is he going to go after those old red wall seats that turn sort of blue at the last election? i don't think that appoint ing david cameron
5:17 pm
is going to help him help him on that. is he going to go over the sort of home counties blue seats? this might help a little bit, but the fact he's chopping and changing almost week by week suggests chaos and chaos is a disaster. so, darren, back to that football analogy, failing football teams bring in big sam, the tories have brought in big cam is it going to help them? well look, you know, newcastle united at the moment are a team that stretched more than goodness only knows what. >> but i'm not going to propose that back alan shearer, that we bring back alan shearer, am this this is just a am i? this this is just a completely it's a nutty thing to suggest, right? tories had suggest, right? the tories had this opportunity . dodi this golden opportunity. dodi when you. martin in your former former job as an mep stepped aside, the brexit party stepped aside, the brexit party stepped aside in 2019 and the conservative were given a unique opportunity to actually scurry away from the snug, out—of—touch elite bubble that they were in and now, with braverman gone , and now, with braverman gone, it's cameron's ghostly return
5:18 pm
andits it's cameron's ghostly return and it's a blinding signal, if you ask me that. the tory big wigs have actually ditched their backbone for a comfy spot in the liberal elites lap me, mark my words will be back splurging 0.7% of gdp on foreign aid. maybe hamas can buy themselves some more missiles with that , some more missiles with that, we'll be hugging the echr like a lifebuoy. no matter what happens come wednesday with the rwanda decision and china like a lapdog to china and brussels as well. we're going to be bending over for brussels basically saying, you know what? we might have voted to leave, but cameron is back and that means one thing. that means us being brussels poodle once more. i cannot overstate the stupidity of this decision, the stupidity of trying to go back to the likes of putney and battersea that are never going to vote for them in the way in which darlington and parts of durham did in 2019. it isinsane
5:19 pm
parts of durham did in 2019. it is insane . insane. is insane. insane. >> could i just just add say this at this point? right? if you want to win a general election, you really need to have unity in your own party. if you can't unify your own party, how can you bring the country together ? how can you build an together? how can you build an electoral coalition of voters who want to keep you in number 10, who want to keep the government and this risk civil war within the conservative party? think it absolutely party? i think it was absolutely right decision to sack suella braverman was braverman last week. she was fanning the flames when she should have been helping to put them out at a very sensitive time country and for time for this country and for the world. so i think the decision was right. but why was she there in the first place? she was there because sunak needed and reappointed her needed her and reappointed her within her losing within six days of her losing her job under the disastrous liz truss administration. but politically , this is disastrous, politically, this is disastrous, not just because it's it looks like chaos, but because it risks civil war, because braverman has her fans don't make any mistake about it. within the tory party, not just around the country . she not just around the country. she amongst tory party members , but
5:20 pm
amongst tory party members, but in the house of commons and that's going to make sunak's life very difficult. at darren, she was there because she was speaking our language right. >> she understands the coalition that boris johnson put together post brexit. and i think this is a complete betrayal of the trust that people in parts of the world like this one, put into the conservative party. let's not forget that under david cameron , if we're going back to cameron, if we're going back to 2015, suella braverman was the only part of that cabinet vocal standing against the unchecked tide of migration. that's a policy that under cameron's time they of course, promised to cap time and again and never did. and now here we are, net 606,000 people and counting coming into the country. this isn't an eu problem anymore, right? this is a home—grown problem with our policy makers actually playing the pied piper's tune and bringing them all in here. so i just think that what's suella said over the weekend chimed
5:21 pm
with people, right? as i say, 75% of people that voted conservative actually, it resonated with them . they want resonated with them. they want to get rid of two tier policing and they want common sense when it comes to speaking our language and actually doing what we want and what we voted for. and think all of those things and i think all of those things are being utterly betrayed in the of cameron , the worst the return of cameron, the worst return, frankly, since that rerun of dallas. it was completely unnecessary and unwanted . unwanted. >> okay, gents, i have to leave it there. we could carry on this debate matthew debate all afternoon. matthew stadlen and darren grimes, fun, fair, firm and balanced as ever. thank gentlemen. superb thank you, gentlemen. superb stuff . okay. some news for stuff. okay. some big news for you up on gb news. it's you coming up on gb news. it's been a day in british been a huge day in british politics. tonight, don't politics. and tonight, don't miss a two hour farage special on the sackings and the surprise comebacks at the heart of this government. we'll also have the latest certain someone latest on a certain someone heading down for a rumble in the jungle. and that's a two hour farage special from 7 pm. tonight. now you get lots more on that story on our website and

5:26 pm
six >> welcome back. >> welcome back. >> it's 526. you're watching or listening to me. martin daubney on gb news. now, in a few minutes , i'll tell you about minutes, i'll tell you about a british muslim convert suspected of being a member of the so—called islamic state death squad dubbed the beatles. he's been jailed for eight years, but before that , rishi sunak could before that, rishi sunak could give police greater powers to tackle protests following the armed clashes, which have left suella braverman are, of course, out of a job. the police made a total of 145 arrests, while nine officers were injured . it's officers were injured. it's thought that sunak is looking to tighten the laws to make it easier to ban marchers and prosecute those glorifying terrorism as well. former commander of british forces in afghanistan , colonel richard afghanistan, colonel richard kemp, joins me on the show now. colonel kemp, a pleasure to see you. of course, the last time we spoke, you warned of vet veterans being told not to wear their medals on the way to the
5:27 pm
processions at the weekend. the celebrations . and i'm delighted celebrations. and i'm delighted to say that largely didn't happen. they turned up resplendent in their medals . yet resplendent in their medals. yet there was some unsavoury scenes at the weekend. do you feel that these this turmoil was an accident waiting to happen ? accident waiting to happen? >> yeah, it was clearly an accident waiting to happen. >> and it was really because the metropolitan police allowed this hate march to go ahead on the same day as the as armistice day parade , which was inevitably parade, which was inevitably going to provoke various forms of different friction within within the competing elements and i mean, you know, i certainly have seen footage of michael gove being shoved around the place. i've seen footage of war memorials being desecrated, at least two in london. and of other people being set on. so it was it was it was always going to be like this and it should have been stopped.
5:28 pm
>> one when you hear about rishi sunak saying he was going to grant police extra powers to take care of this, do you have any faith at all in that, beanng any faith at all in that, bearing in mind we've seen weekend after weekend of consecutive turmoil, including this week of people dressed as hamas terrorists , one individual hamas terrorists, one individual shouting death to all the jews, somebody else saying hitler knew how to deal with these people. yet still, colonel kemp, these marches marchers are allowed to continue . continue. >> yeah, well, obviously people have a lawful right to protest, but they don't have a right to intimidate people in the way that you've just described. >> and , you know, i believe that >> and, you know, i believe that the where the when these incidents occur , they should be incidents occur, they should be clamped down on. and if this these marches in which the such events become common, if they occur, then maybe the it's time to review whether a specific march should be carried out because the organisers, for
5:29 pm
example, the organisers of many of these marches that we've seen, these hate marches we've seen, these hate marches we've seen in the last few weeks have had direct links to hamas. we should be looking at all of this in deciding whether the marches have to take place. the most important thing is that people are not intimidated. property is not destroyed and in particular on on remembrance, on armistice day, that war memorials , which day, that war memorials, which are very, very important to many people, are not desecrated in the way they were. >> and colonel kemp, one of the big debates ahead of armistice day was the allegations by suella braverman of two tier policing . the evidence that policing. the evidence that you've seen of saturday, it appeared that the police were keen to put the baton into people at the cenotaph, but they stood off and a more had a more observational recording of the pro—palestine protesters . do you pro—palestine protesters. do you think there is an argument that there was two tiered protesting policing, beg your pardon? at the weekend? >> well, i've been involved in
5:30 pm
in maintaining public order, particularly in northern ireland and in a similar kind of situations. and there's no question it's very difficult for the police to work out what to do . um, i think the police to work out what to do. um, i think it's the police to work out what to do . um, i think it's quite right do. um, i think it's quite right that the police should have prevented demonstrators, the right wing demonstrators at the cenotaph from from disrupting the parade. that's quite right. but they should have applied the same type of tactic to the hate marchers that were that were progressing in london. and it's quite hard to understand where they where they draw the line. but i think that needs to be explained and by the metropolitan police and justify it. >> okay, colonel richard kemp, thank you for joining >> okay, colonel richard kemp, thank you forjoining us on the thank you for joining us on the show. it's always a pleasure to hear from you. thank you very much. some news for you much. now some big news for you coming on gb news. it's been coming up on gb news. it's been a in british politics. a huge day in british politics. and tonight, don't miss a two hour farage special on the sackings and the surprise comebacks the heart of the comebacks at the heart of the government. we'll also have the latest on a certain someone

5:36 pm
new study has found that 42% of uni educate workers outside of london have got a job that doesn't even require a degree in lincolnshire, 58% of graduates work in non graduate jobs, so shouldn't more people be sacking off uni and instead entering the job market sooner? well, joining us this evening is former apprentice and founder of pimlico plumbers charlie mullins, obe . charlie, why might mullins, obe. charlie, why might this be music to your ears? i mean, how many lads , how many mean, how many lads, how many girls, especially in the heartlands of the north where there aren't those sorts of jobs anyway, at the of it, again, anyway, at the end of it, again, 40, 50, 60 grand into debt, throwing money away . what throwing their money away. what they should be is learning they should be doing is learning a exactly. mean, i've been >> exactly. i mean, i've been saying a long time now saying this for a long time now to government need to the government that we need to the government that we need to government funded to do government funded apprenticeship stop apprenticeship schemes and stop keep to to keep telling people to go to university . the figures are just university. the figures are just incredible that they're getting a degree, can't get the job they want, probably making coffee or mcdonald's something now and mcdonald's or something now and it's just no value. and i think
5:37 pm
someone's got sort of someone's got to be sort of clever enough to say, look, time's that. and running time's up on that. and running ourselves up in debt. say ourselves up in debt. they say it 50 grand. a lot of it can be 50 grand. a lot of them never pay it back or don't even pay the interest back. so maybe the times come now to that. go that. i think if you go university, you should pay for it own money and not it out of your own money and not not expect the taxpayer to pay it. definitely, know, it. and definitely, you know, get apprenticeships. i think we've point we've got to build 1 in 1 point 5 million the next 5 million houses in the next term of government. and you know, university students don't build houses, sure. build houses, that's for sure. >> think they were sold >> do you think they were sold the because it was tony the illusion because it was tony blair, who said blair, wasn't it, who said education, education, education, lads like me from working class communities? the only way out is via city. and now the via university city. and now the reality is dawning up to their necks in debt . necks in debt. >> that's right. i mean, look, universities are just interested in bums on seats and, you know, taking their money and, you know, i think it's time we might as earning while you're as well be earning while you're learning, well learning, you might as well get a job such as apprenticeship learning, you might as well get a ja) such as apprenticeship learning, you might as well get a ja skilled |s apprenticeship learning, you might as well get a ja skilled trade. pprenticeship learning, you might as well get a ja skilled trade. and nticeship learning, you might as well get a ja skilled trade. and like ship of a skilled trade. and like myself, you know, 50 odd years ago, that and you know,
5:38 pm
ago, done that and you know, never looked back. i've never been work , earn loads been out of work, earn loads of money more so today money and it's more so today than you know, that's than ever. you know, that's what's . someone, what's needed. someone, you know, forget this know, got to forget this nonsense you know, you've nonsense about, you know, you've got have a degree and all got to have a degree and all that. any apprenticeship qualification i think will be equal to an agree a degree equal to an agree to a degree and i would say that anybody that's got that qualification will earn as as any bank will earn as much as any bank manager. well, that's the thing that of gets people really interested. >> they were illusion. >> they were sold the illusion. i a degree, i think if you got a degree, you're going to earn more money. now, typically you might, but you places you can't. in places like lincolnshire, like lincolnshire, a place like cumbria aren't those cumbria where there aren't those sorts well, let's sorts of jobs. well, let's get to if you train to brass tacks. if you train as an apprentice plumber, kind an apprentice plumber, what kind of looking at? you of wonga are you looking at? you know, a wonga? know, to be good for a wonga? >> well, when i was working for us at company, it was about us at the company, it was about 200 a year. and was 200 grand a year. and i was getting. wow. know, getting. wow. and, you know, easily underground as a tradesman. that easy as anything. and the fact of the skill there and the skill shortage out there and the apprenticeships that are just not being formed , you're never not being formed, you're never going to be able to work as an earn loads and loads of money. i think if you want to be a
5:39 pm
millionaire take up millionaire then take up an apprenticeship the trade. apprenticeship in the trade. >> and do you think there's been a often on cheap a reliance too often on cheap labour or say from abroad? whereas just made that whereas if we just made that national investment into our own lads, into our own ladies for apprenticeships, they pay back in tax much more than they ever put in, they become part of society. >> you know, it's much needed out there now, the skill shortage. and i say we've got 1.5 artists to build an 1.5 million artists to build an and then there's so much other work out there for and work out there for them and there just enough job for there just isn't enough job for graduates. and i think we've got stopped sort of conning them out of and start of their money and start educating and saying, look, of their money and start edunknow, and saying, look, of their money and start edunknow, get and saying, look, of their money and start edunknow, get out|d saying, look, of their money and start edunknow, get out there,ng, look, of their money and start edunknow, get out there, get.ook, of their money and start edunknow, get out there, get an(, you know, get out there, get an apprenticeship. never apprenticeship. you're never going work. and you going to be out of work. and you know, been saying this know, i've been saying this to the long time. the government for a long time. we need a government funded apprenticeship we need a government funded apprentices money job job benefit money into a job allowance, the allowance, give it to the employer, and i think you'll get rid of the skill shortage. youth unemployment crime the unemployment, crime on the streets, rehabilitation on. there's so many pluses of getting a proper job and an apprenticeship and not running up 50 grand for that. well it's all things have you seen in

5:47 pm
all waiting to find out what role is going to be given to esther mcvey . she's, of course, esther mcvey. she's, of course, held various cabinet positions in the past. she was working pensions secretary and she's on the right of the party. so this will please many of course, there's plenty on the tory, right have been very displeased with the sacking of suella braverman that kicked all of this off this morning. now we don't officially know the job she's going to get. i should say. it's been reported by the sun, but this is not confirmed yet out that she's going to be a minister of state at the cabinet office and that she's basically going to be like a common sense tsar tasked with tackling a woke across whitehall . that's what across whitehall. that's what the sun is hearing, i should say. we don't know that officially yet. so let's see. but certainly it's been a very, very dramatic day. suella braverman was sacked , apparently braverman was sacked, apparently over the phone this morning. there's no exchange of letters
5:48 pm
from her to the prime minister or the prime minister to her expected. and at a briefing with the prime minister's spokesman in a little bit earlier, journalists were told that in the case of david cameron, this very , very surprising very, very surprising appointment, very, very surprising appointment , that that was appointment, that that was actually rishi sunak idea that he had reached out to the former prime minister now, david cameron currently gets an allowance of 106,000 a year. as allowance of 106,000 a year. as a former pm, he is going to give that up, but he will get paid 104,000 a year as foreign secretary we don't know yet where he's going to live. he was interviewed a little earlier and he was asked, not surprisingly , he was asked, not surprisingly, about brexit. of course, he led us to a referendum . he expected us to a referendum. he expected the country to vote for remain. but they didn't. so he was asked if he believed in brexit and he said yes , of course. and we're said yes, of course. and we're making brexit a success. that
5:49 pm
rather reminds me of theresa may who used to say brexit means brexit, and we will make a success of it. though it seemed to many that she never really truly believed in the potential full benefits of brexit, that it was more of a damage limitation exercise to her. catherine fourth, are you been covering the circus of westminster for a long time now? >> do you remember a day of such high drama, of such bloodletting, of surprise comebacks, of utter carnage ? comebacks, of utter carnage? >> i remember a day as dramatic as this which began with me at 6 am. and ended with me at 5 pm. that was the day that liz truss resigned. but certainly this day has had more twists and turns, hasn't it? and i think something that all the westminster insiders, you know, political journalists pride themselves on getting the inside track, on knowing what's going on. often you get big leaks in the sunday papers and yet nobody outside of
5:50 pm
number 10 seemed to have got wind of the fact that david cameron was going to be brought back in one of the biggest offices of state. they've managed to keep that incredibly quiet. so suella braverman , yes, quiet. so suella braverman, yes, it was widely expected . and yes, it was widely expected. and yes, it's enraged many . she was a it's enraged many. she was a divisive figure. lots of people loved her. lots of people thought that she spoke for them, that she said what many people were thinking, that she was only being many others being honest. but many others thought she was divisive and they really didn't like her at all. interesting that a yougov poll on that put 57% of people polled thought that rishi sunak was right to get rid of her. only 20% wrong. but in terms of david cameron, rather a different story . only 24% of different story. only 24% of people think that that's a good idea. about 40% don't know. and 38% think that it's a bad idea. so let's see what happens . rishi so let's see what happens. rishi sunak obviously desperate to shift the polls where maximum of just over a year from a general
5:51 pm
election. and at the moment, he came in to steady the ship. yes, he's done that, but the ship still seems to be heading for the rocks. can in this big reshuffle , can this reset? we reshuffle, can this reset? we keep hearing about a rishi reset. can he start to shift the dial ? it'll reset. can he start to shift the dial? it'll be very reset. can he start to shift the dial ? it'll be very interesting dial? it'll be very interesting to see the polls in the coming weeks and days. but i think two worth bearing in mind, of course . worth bearing in mind, of course , we may have a new home secretary in james cleverly , but secretary in james cleverly, but he is focussed to, as suella braverman was on stopping the boats and a massive day on wednesday morning when we will finally get this judgement on whether or not the british government can send people who've crossed the channel illegally on a one way ticket to rwanda . that's going to be rwanda. that's going to be a huge moment for rishi sunak and at the moment nobody knows which way that will go. >> okay, katherine forster stay warm because i sense that could yet be a dramatic sting in the tail of an already day. tail of an already dramatic day. now, quickly moving on our very own nigel farage is in australia
5:52 pm
. it's been reported that he's going be on the new series of going to be on the new series of i'm celebrity, it's a i'm a celebrity, but it's such a turbulent isn't the jungle turbulent time, isn't the jungle the place? nigel ought to the last place? nigel ought to be? don't need nigel farage on the front line fighting the good fight in politics. well, joining me now is political commentator stephen carlton woods. stephen, what would you say to that? we don't need nigel in the jungle. we need him back here sorting don't need nigel in the jungle. we thed him back here sorting don't need nigel in the jungle. we the circus back here sorting don't need nigel in the jungle. we the circus .ack here sorting out the circus. >> well , remember a few weeks >> well, remember a few weeks ago when it was mooted that he may be going into the jungle? >> i never believed it for a second really, that it would actually do it. and is over there now. ready? ready for the start of it. now, next sunday. so good luck to him. really i'd say. >> and stephen, do you think he's got a chance of winning it? he might even win it 52 to 48% >> no, no. i was looking at the odds actually, because i remember you saying put £50 on it if you've got it. he's 7 to 1 at the moment. checking on the
5:53 pm
odds. i don't think he'd be putting your money on it. well i think a lot of people were making sure that he wins or sorry, loses all of the challenges they'll be making, making him eat all the vilest making him eat all of the vilest things the planet. things on the planet. >> but do you think really he should back home sorting should be back home sorting this mess should be back home sorting this me well, he's not really in >> well, he's not really in politics anymore. his job is with you there so no, you with you lot. there so no, you know , phillies booths is being know, phillies booths is being paid handsomely to go over to australia . so i hope he enjoys australia. so i hope he enjoys himself and i think he'll do very well keeping in mind how well matt hancock did last year, i think nigel will do a bit better than what matt hancock did. >> and do you think that it's fair to say quickly, stephen, that schwarzenegger did well out of being celebrity ? did of being a celebrity? so did ronald reagan. this going to the jungle will help boost nigel chances politically down the line. >> i don't think so. it >> no, i don't think so. it needs to be careful , really. it needs to be careful, really. it could damage his chances politically going fonnard . he politically going fonnard. he just needs to play a steady game and just be himself. >> okay. stephen carlton woods,
