9:37 am
disagree because i think it's we have to be really careful when we're asking for the solution to every to be more powers. every problem to be more powers. who's politician you hate who's the politician you hate most in the world, past or present? who you think of ? present? who could you think of? who terrifies you? blair right. imagine that. >> blair he brought in the supreme court by the way, which we didn't need before. >> imagine, blair is prime minister again. it is not beyond the realms of possibility. remember, he is prime remember, imagine he is prime minister and doing things minister and he is doing things that feel so strongly about that you feel so strongly about and enacting policies you and enacting policies that you hate that even you, hate so much that even you, andrew feel need to andrew pierce feel the need to go climb a memorial or statue. >> i wouldn't i wouldn't climb a on a wall. well, that's fine. >> too much respect. >> too much respect. >> but you do. right, fine. >> but you do. all right, fine. but you do need to have the right to out. if tony blair right to go out. if tony blair is prime minister, always call is prime minister, i always call him because that's him president because that's how he tony blair he acts, isn't it? if tony blair is minister you might need is prime minister you might need those that's all i'm those powers. and that's all i'm saying. you might be happy with more powers conservative more powers with a conservative conservative power, but conservative party in power, but i like a conservative i feel like a conservative government, though doesn't government, though it doesn't not way, shape
9:38 am
not not in any way, shape or form. biggest complaint form. my biggest complaint with those idiots that they those idiots is not that they were climbing on statues and memorials, won't memorials, it's that they won't not discuss what they feel so strongly about. >> they put their hand up, say, go away, we don't want you here. it's not up to them. >> it's incredible. it is a pubuc >> it's incredible. it is a public space. >> they're outside the houses of parliament they are parliament because what they are actually is suppressing actually doing is suppressing freethey censoring the debate >> they are censoring the debate . we don't like. . that's what we don't like. >> also because don't >> it's also because they don't really brain cell in really have a brain cell in their head, so they cannot justify, though. >> not illegal. >> not illegal. >> true . >> no, that's true. >> no, that's true. >> there's a lot of it. now, >> but there's a lot of it. now, the government is introducing, as you heard this from rishi emergency which as you heard this from rishi eme|saycy which as you heard this from rishi eme|say will which as you heard this from rishi eme|say will mean which as you heard this from rishi eme|say will mean rwanda h they say will mean rwanda is a safe country see off safe country and see off challenges from supreme court. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> it's very interesting this the supreme yesterday , the uk supreme court yesterday, you might watched it here, you might have watched it here, ruled flagship ruled that sunak's flagship policy to send asylum seekers to rwanda was unlawful. putting into question one of his five main as prime minister main pledges as prime minister to stop the boats. >> we are unanimously of the view that they were entitled to reach that conclusion . the
9:39 am
reach that conclusion. the changes needed to eliminate the risk of reformate may be delivered in the future , but delivered in the future, but they have not been shown to be in place now . so the home in place now. so the home secretary's appeal is therefore dismissed . dismissed. >> mr speaker, it's very straightforward. he promised. he promised it that he would stop the boats this year. yeah, this yeah the boats this year. yeah, this year. today is the 15th of november. he's wasted all of his time on a gimmick, and now he's absolutely nowhere will he level with the british public and finally admit he's failed to deliver on his promise. yes, he's been on the wrong side of this issue his entire career. >> this is a man who described all immigration law as racist. he said it was a mistake to control immigration and he has never once in this place voted for stricter asylum rules. it's clear , mr speaker, while he
9:40 am
clear, mr speaker, while he might want to listen to the open border activists, i'm siding with the british people . keir with the british people. keir starmer i do not agree with this decision , but i respect it and decision, but i respect it and accept it. the rule of law is fundamental to our democracy . i fundamental to our democracy. i will not allow a foreign court to block these flights. i said i was going to fundamentally change our country and i meant it so i'm also announcing today that we will take the extraordinary step of introducing emergency legislation . this will enable legislation. this will enable parliament to confirm that with our new treaty , rwanda is safe . our new treaty, rwanda is safe. >> that was the prime minister fighting back, fighting talk. but is it just that talk? let's go live to our political editor, chris hope, who's in westminster. chris morning, chris. yesterday before the prime minister spoke, the mood was mutinous, to say the least. sulphurous among conservative mps, a humiliating defeat in the supreme court crushed , seeing supreme court crushed, seeing all five judges chucking out the
9:41 am
rwanda plan . has he bought rwanda plan. has he bought himself some time? rishi sunak he has, andrew. >> he has. but words can only count for so much. i think people are getting very frustrated by endless politicians , endless prime politicians, endless prime ministers. we've had enough of those, haven't we recently telling us they're going to tackle and deal with across the south coast , tackle and deal with across the south coast, illegal arrivals of migrants and not doing it and not controlling it. these are only the illegal migrants arriving next week, getting the full the numbers who can arrive legally. the net migration figure set to be 100 thousands. again, that's a choice the government's made to allow that migration. only really it's migration. so only really it's tens of illegal tens of thousands of illegal arrivals as a kind of arrivals are seen as a kind of symptom of a lack of grip at the top of government this issue. top of government on this issue. we've from james cleverly we've heard from james cleverly the home secretary, the new home secretary, today, saying upgrade saying he's going to upgrade what's memorandum of what's called a memorandum of understanding with rwanda to a full and to ensure that full treaty and to ensure that if people are taken here for processing , they can't then be processing, they can't then be returned rwanda to the place returned by rwanda to the place they fleeing from because returned by rwanda to the place they would leeing from because returned by rwanda to the place theywould being from because
9:42 am
returned by rwanda to the place theywould be against because returned by rwanda to the place theywould be against the :ause returned by rwanda to the place theywould be against the oure that would be against the our own human rights and probably against the refugee convention. that's the clip you heard there from from the supreme court justices. so yes, he's bought some time with that language. i think the daily mail said his eyes were burning like bright coals on the front page today that him some that shows that gave him some that shows the space he's got for himself with firm words. but this with those firm words. but this can't carry on. he said the first flights will take off in the spring next year. was in the spring next year. i was in downing street yesterday for that i wasn't. that press conference. i wasn't. i a question. i wasn't i asked for a question. i wasn't given one. but my question was, would he would he bet gb news news viewers a pint of beer that anyone, off news viewers a pint of beer that any(taken off news viewers a pint of beer that any(taken to off news viewers a pint of beer that any(taken to rwanda off news viewers a pint of beer that any(taken to rwanda before off news viewers a pint of beer that any(taken to rwanda before the and taken to rwanda before the next election? i reckon he has said sure chris. said i'm not sure chris. >> chris, it's fighting talk and that's all very well. and i think you did perform well at the press conference, but all the press conference, but all the things they're now doing to effectively bypass the supreme court, they could have done it before they had 19 months to get this legislate done right and correct . when boris johnson correct. when boris johnson first brought it forward. what are on our third home
9:43 am
are we on our third home secretary can't secretary since then? can't remember fourth or remember. maybe our fourth or even didn't they do even fifth. why didn't they do this before ? which is what this before? which is what suella said in her suella braverman said in her coruscating letter . coruscating resignation letter. she'd warned him again and again and the things needed and again the things they needed to is only now doing . to do, which is only now doing. >> yeah, why wait for plan b? now is for the braverman's point. and she made that very clear. magical thinking. she said in that another withering dispatch on social media last night after the pm's press conference. but why wait till now ? it does show a degree of now? it does show a degree of almost hoping for the best on this policy rather than gripping it and taking control. this policy rather than gripping it and taking control . well, it and taking control. well, which he should do. i mean, he's had a lot on don't forget he's had a lot on don't forget he's had a lot on don't forget he's had a to war deal with in ukraine. the trouble in the middle east, that's been difficult. the difficult. he's also had the chaos in the markets created in part by liz truss's government and the collapse of the boris johnson government. so he now is the time to act. he can't carry on and it's a rod for his own back. he made for himself, didn't he? andrew and bev because he said that one of his
9:44 am
targets is stop the boats and in fact that podium says stop fact on that podium says stop the boats. come on, prime the boats. well, come on, prime minister, waiting for that minister, we're waiting for that to happen. >> may to happen. » a to happen. >> chris. he may have had a lot on plate, but the home on his plate, but the home office, the and the foreign secretary, the home secretary, they have getting they should have been getting down getting to the of down and getting to the root of the because i were the detail because bevin, i were pretty that the pretty convinced that the supreme were going to supreme court were going to chuck out. didn't that supreme court were going to cthive out. didn't that supreme court were going to cthive oth. didn't that supreme court were going to cthive of them idn't that supreme court were going to cthive of them were that supreme court were going to cthive of them were going hat supreme court were going to cthive of them were going tot all five of them were going to do lack of plan b is do that. the lack of plan b is a staggering failure of government. >> yeah, it is a failure. they have they say call it plan b have they do say call it plan b and they that it can be and they say that it can be through through the through the parliamentary process, the commons the within. commons and the lords within. i think or so sitting days think it's 40 or so sitting days that that pushes it back that mean that pushes it back into memory of mid january, into from memory of mid january, maybe early february when that can happen. very , very can happen. it's very, very tight. , he may even tight. of course, he may even have an election, by the way, in may next year. don't forget, although i think he's going longer, possibly late as longer, possibly as late as january 25, get of january 20, 25, to get all of what he wants to do done. but yeah, there's question where yeah, there's no question where is if you read is the planning, if you read articles today's telegraph, articles in today's telegraph, the there the the suggestions there that the
9:45 am
home actually against home office is actually against all these and indeed all these plans and indeed suella pushing suella braverman was pushing water uphill, as it were, trying to make this happen the home to make this happen in the home office. a degree of blob office. there's a degree of blob capture this whole policy and capture of this whole policy and civil servants almost ignoring the mandate given to this this government by by the 2019 general election. so he's got the will of the people behind him. i think to a large extent. rishi sunak but has he got has he got it in him the fight to make this happen? he appeared to have it yesterday in downing street at that press conference. we'll wait and see. >> had andrea jenkins in here >> we had andrea jenkins in here yesterday. as you know, yesterday. chris, as you know, mp who wrote the first letter of no to sir graham no confidence to sir graham brady the prime brady regarding the prime minister. many letters minister. how many more letters have now? have we had now? >> first we know about. >> it's the first we know about. bev this, this is the bev well, this, this is the question i was going ask you about. >> do we know of any more yet? yeah. at this point. >> well, of course you're totally mean, few mps totally right. i mean, few mps actually publish their letters of confidence in a leader of no confidence in a leader because it means they're immediately ostracised by all the mps who trying to the other mps who are trying to support leader. so think
9:46 am
support the leader. so i think we know andrew we don't know whether andrew jenkin the only know. jenkin is the only one we know. she hers in. she was told in she put hers in. she was told in the division lobby two nights ago, i think it was on tuesday night that six more are putting letters in. there's reports of plotting in a mayfair private club between more, more tories . club between more, more tories. the end game isn't very clear for me. i think there's no obvious candidate to replace this. rishi sunak as prime minister or tory leader boris johnson. of course, having left parliament, i think for me it's a shot across the bows by the tory, right? if they can get more than 50 or so tory mps signing letters of no confidence to graham brady, the 1922 committee chairman, then that might confidence might prompt a no confidence vote force sunak to face the vote and force sunak to face the challenge given to him by that mandate. one by boris johnson in 2019 to deliver on those people's priorities , as they people's priorities, as they would call it, because so far it's been quite operational. he's avoided doing that properly , not fully. for the tory. , not fully. not for the tory. right. | , not fully. not for the tory. right. i wonder it's a right. i wonder whether it's a shot the bows more than a
9:47 am
shot across the bows more than a leadership challenge they want to to? to get to? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> starmer must have his >> keir starmer must have his head his hands his head in his hands over his cornflakes chris cornflakes this morning. chris because we've said multiple times he just has to times that really he just has to keep everything and keep everything simple and uncomplicated up to uncomplicated in the run up to the election . and he the next election. and he has a really good just explain to really good shot just explain to people happened yesterday, people what happened yesterday, because a because it's a bit of a technical, political issue and these ten frontbench players who have ceasefire, is have called for a ceasefire, is it left rishi sunak and keir starmer the labour party ? starmer and the labour party? >> it comes down to the difference between two words bev and andrew ceasefire and a cessation of hostilities. now labour put down their own motion. this is all to do with, with the conflict in gaza and whether there should be a ceasefire. stop all fighting and allow humanitarian aid to get into to alleviate the appalling suffering for people, the palestinians in gaza . now the palestinians in gaza. now the governments, the uk government's policy is the same as america, which is supporting a pause in hostilities to allow to allow aid to get in. but not a ceasefire, because the view is that would cement hamas as gains
9:48 am
after the horrific terrorist attack in october on october the 7th. so the labour party is supporting the government in that idea of a pause , a that idea of a pause, a cessation of hostilities, but not a ceasefire to the left of the party. the pro—palestinian lobby within the labour party, they want a ceasefire and last night the snp put down a motion in parliament to the king, an amendment to the king's speech calling for ceasefire. mps calling for a ceasefire. mps who voted were voting calling for a ceasefire. mps who voted governmentvoting calling for a ceasefire. mps who voted government policy. as against government policy. as many labour frontbench many as ten labour frontbench members voted in favour of members voted voted in favour of a ceasefire and therefore they have now quit the frontbench . have now quit the frontbench. now how that looks for the keir starmer i think it kind of helps him. it helps support the position he's going to have with a wider public that he will not be the left of the be swayed by the left of the party. will what's right party. he will do what's right for country . made for the country. he's made clear, i understand it, clear, as i understand it, privately the prime minister, privately to the prime minister, when prime minister when he's made prime minister last year, sunak, that on last year, mr sunak, that on issues national on issues of national security, on big public foreign big areas of public or foreign policy he back the prime policy, he will back the prime minister i think that we didn't see with jeremy corbyn over
9:49 am
see that with jeremy corbyn over the poisonings. we're the salisbury poisonings. we're seeing keir seeing the opposite with keir starmer. he's the rest starmer. he's showing the rest of public. i will take the of the public. i will take the hard choices despite my party, to be strong for this country. me many of those who me and indeed many of those who quit the front bench are probably left wingers. we wanted to anyway bring his to move on anyway and bring his kind centrist group to kind of more centrist group to run the labour party. so i think although looked difficult for although it looked difficult for him, and him, it won't damage him. and of course talking about course all we're talking about right we're not right now is rwanda. we're not even talking about labour civil war. has. he's a lucky war. so it has. he's a lucky general. andrew and bev. >> all right. that's chris hope, our editor. well, our political editor. well, let's now to let's talk straight away now to steve the labour steve mccabe, who's the labour mp for selly oak, who who voted with last night. with his own side last night. steve you. 56 labour steve morning to you. 56 labour mps backing that ceasefire. that's a quarter of keir starmer's mps. what i think is quite significant, steve, when you look at some of those who've resigned from their front bench roles supported roles because they supported a ceasefire, now they have very large muslim populations in their constituency and they're clearly fearful that they're in danger of losing the muslim vote. hence their support for
9:50 am
the ceasefire isn't it doesn't it boil down to that a political calculation ? calculation? >> well, i think it's true that quite a lot of the people who've resigned, quite a lot of the people who voted are part of the more recent intake. so they probably have not had a very difficult issue to contend with yet . what happens in a situation yet. what happens in a situation like this is that you're email inboxis like this is that you're email inbox is flooded with people. you would think the entire constituency was demanding something that side. of course, it's usually quite an organised email campaign and i think it does spook people. so i think there is an element of truth in what you say and but it's also true that you know, some people genuinely want a ceasefire. we all want to see an end to the hostilities . it's just that, you hostilities. it's just that, you know, you have to be realistic about what that vote meant last night. and it wasn't going to
9:51 am
advance the situation one iota. >> interesting . one of the names >> interesting. one of the names that that leapt out at me, steve, looking at that list, shah up in bradford, she she will be painfully aware, of course, that back in 2012, a certain george galloway stood for a respect in a by—election in her bradford constituency. she wasn't the mp then and won a stunning victory and he was standing on a pledge to get british troops out of afghanistan is the spectre of george galloway and other independent muslim candidates haunting the labour party today ? haunting the labour party today? well as you say, nigel had a very tough by—election up in bradford. >> i think the difficulty, as i see, is that it's easy to misread the kind of pressure that mps are being subject to. i mean, if i was to treat seriously the things that i'm heanng seriously the things that i'm hearing myself , uh, seriously the things that i'm hearing myself, uh, in my seat where i actually have a relatively small muslim population , then, you know, i
9:52 am
population, then, you know, i would assume that i've got no chance of winning in the next election. i think the difficulty is that the people who purport to speak for the muslim population in these areas are very loud, they're very organised, but they're not very representative . representative. >> steve, let me ask you a little bit about what's been going on with the conservative party this week. what was your reaction to seeing david cameron being parachuted foreign being parachuted in as foreign secretary ? secretary? >> well, good for him. i think it may be an act of desperation on the part of the prime minister >> and it was what? >> and it was what? >> sorry, an act of desperation. >> sorry, an act of desperation. >> an act of desperation. >> an act of desperation. >> you think also, steve, it >> do you think also, steve, it will backfire politically because brett steers can't stand him because because of project fear and all the misinformation dunng fear and all the misinformation during the referendum campaign and a lot of remainers can't stand him because he called the referendum in the first place and then cleared off when he didn't the vote . didn't win the vote. >> well , you didn't win the vote. >> well, you put it very well. >> well, you put it very well. >> he is symbolic of the problem that the conservative party have
9:53 am

10:06 am
major rebellion over his stance on the israel—gaza war. >> eight labour shadow ministers have their front have gone from their front bench roles they for an roles because they voted for an immediate ceasefire. >> phillips , afzal khan and >> jess phillips, afzal khan and yasmin qureshi were among the shadow ministers left their shadow ministers who left their roles the motion from roles to back the motion from the snp. >> so how significant is it? let's talk now to the former editor of the independent, chris blackhurst. a very fine investigative journalist. chris, this more more than this was more more than i expected . 56 mps backed the expected. 56 mps backed the motion calling for an immediate ceasefire . that's more than ceasefire. that's more than a quarter of starmer's troops. it's bigger than you thought . it's bigger than you thought. >> yes, much bigger. and actually almost nearly nearly as big as the revolt against tony blair on the iraq war. i mean, it is a hugely significant rebellion . and what it what it rebellion. and what it what it gets to down really is, is the style of keir starmer . for many
10:07 am
style of keir starmer. for many labour mps, he's he's not labour enough. he's too cautious. he was desperate on this issue, not to be seen to be anti—semitic because of the baggage from jeremy corbyn. and now this has happened and it, it is very significant . significant. >> he . do you take the view, >> he. do you take the view, chris, that actually this will strengthen his position with the wider public because he's sticking to his guns? he's not u—turning he's in he's in lockstep with the government. the united states most major countries, most major governments around the world. >> erm i think that's a tricky question. i think , i think where question. i think, i think where labourin question. i think, i think where labour in many labour constituency is there are many , constituency is there are many, many muslims , many arabs, people many muslims, many arabs, people who feel very upset about what's going on. um it's no coincidence. you look at the people who resigned last night,
10:08 am
they're from those constituencies . um, there's a constituencies. um, there's a difference between keir starmer playing to the public and playing to the public and playing to the public and playing to labour's hearts and. and i think there is a bit here that says other labour leaders might have taken a different view. i'm not advocating for a second that jeremy corbyn view, but um, you know , he's, he's but um, you know, he's, he's taking a very cautious line and as it goes on it will be very difficult . i mean, if it ends difficult. i mean, if it ends soon. well he might, it might be all right. but this is a rebellion that could grow. >> and also, chris, there's absolutely no prospect of a ceasefire because hamas aren't looking for one. israel don't want to give one. so this war could be prolonged, which means the political difficulties for starmer will be prolonged . at starmer will be prolonged. at the time . the same time. >> that's right . and i think >> that's right. and i think where it will really kick in for keir starmer is if some countries around the world,
10:09 am
countries around the world, countries that we regard as as you know, among our peer group , you know, among our peer group, if they break ranks and really start calling for ceasefire , um, start calling for ceasefire, um, then he's got a big problem . um, then he's got a big problem. um, and well , i then he's got a big problem. um, and well, i don't then he's got a big problem. um, and well , i don't know how he and well, i don't know how he resolves it, to be honest. >> yeah. no, it's going to be incredibly difficult for him to find any sort of resolution for this. >> 71% of british muslims vote labourin >> 71% of british muslims vote labour in most polls. 9% vote conservative. and yet, as you say, chris, he's also got to demonstrate that the labour party is no longer anti—semitic as it used to be. arguably one might say under jeremy corbyn. and is there anybody in his party that he can recruit to help him navigate this ? who help him navigate this? who might be the good, the person that can bring two sides together . together. >> he you've got david cameron
10:10 am
on your on your mind. you have i don't know i mean , look, you don't know i mean, look, you know, i could say, tony blair. i mean, you know, we're into recruiting former leaders , bring recruiting former leaders, bring them back, you know, because the current lot can't do a decent job. um, i can't think who immediately who immediately spnngs immediately who immediately springs to mind. um um , we're springs to mind. um um, we're not tony blair. i don't know what gordon brown would say . um, what gordon brown would say. um, i don't know . but we what gordon brown would say. um, i don't know. but we are into former leader territory . it does former leader territory. it does seem to be the flavour of the week. >> jack straw maybe , uh, >> jack straw maybe, uh, possibly . possibly. >> jack straw. i mean, he was mp for blackburn for many years and he was very strong on this issue in the past . he was very strong on this issue in the past. but sadly he's not, not, you know , um, somebody like not, you know, um, somebody like frank field who was always regarded as a good cement to of left and right in the party. um, he would be good, um , possibly.

call counter—demonstrators who came in. remember, after black lives matter, they were , you lives matter, they were, you know, pretty hands off in allowing black lives matter to protest to get involved in violent scuffles and the like dunng violent scuffles and the like during those protests . but then during those protests. but then a week or two in when counter—protests started and they were pretty robust and going after them and also , if we going after them and also, if we just think about what happened after. sarah everard yeah, and the way in which those protests were had those women away, absolutely . absolutely. >> and it was a peaceful protest. it was outrageous. >> can we also ask you, mark, about events yesterday in the supreme court, what this means now rishi and the now for rishi sunak and the small boats? how can he overrule the ruling of yesterday? >> pass legislation >> well, he can pass legislation which the courts will have to be cognisant of when they go forward . but to suggest that forward. but to suggest that flights are going to take off by the spring, i think is pie in the spring, i think is pie in the sky because it's still going to have to be tested in the
10:16 am
courts. you can pass the legislation. judges will still have to sit and consider and all of those groups who have mounted such effective cases against the government thus far are going to continue to mount cases and appeal. if they lose. and it's going to go through. >> and our very own lee anderson of this parish, tory mp, said to rishi sunak, just ignore it. just ignore supreme court just ignore the supreme court and get on and do it. but the prime minister made it absolutely clear press absolutely clear in the press conference we respect conference yesterday, we respect the so it probably the rule of law, so it probably won't before the general won't happen before the general election . election. >> i think that's right, which now think could be in now i think could possibly be in the you know, different prime >> you know, a different prime minister it, minister might ignore it, but i don't it's rishi sunaks don't think it's in rishi sunaks character to do that. >> and i think most prime ministers in that office don't want to something would ministers in that office don't wa seen something would ministers in that office don't wa seen on something would ministers in that office don't wa seen on the ething would ministers in that office don't wa seen on the internationalwould be seen on the international stage as effectively , you know, stage as effectively, you know, flouting international norms, which we as a country , we were which we as a country, we were founders in, in actually establishing in the first place remind us how we used to manage
10:17 am
perfectly well without a supreme court, because this is a creation of tony blair. >> yeah , well, we had the house >> yeah, well, we had the house of lords that the law lords that would sit and they were the highest court in the land at that time. >> so yeah , we didn't need >> so yeah, we didn't need a supreme court, did we? well, we seem to manage quite well . seem to manage quite well. >> just finally. seem to manage quite well. >> just finally . so you don't >> just finally. so you don't think there's any chance the flights taking off? no, nor do i. >> not ..- >> not at .._ >> not at all. i i. >> not at all. i just i can't. >> when he says it will, is he lying or is he just doing that magical thinking? is it the magical thinking? is it the magical thinking? is it the magical thinking that suella braverman talks about where he thinks can style it out thinks he can just style it out like did in his hedge fund manager? >> i think he's got to be seen as, you know, from his point of view, being optimistic, in charge, determined. but yeah, i mean, it's wishful mean, i think it's wishful thinking the reality of thinking because the reality of the situation as faced by the government the last 19 government over the last 19 months since this policy was first announced by boris johnson , is that at every turn, it will be challenged in the courts and you can pass the law which might
10:18 am
then mean that the judges will rule in favour, but they rule in your favour, but they still to rule, they still still have to rule, they still have to consider and that will take time. >> yeah. okay brilliant. thank you, mark. know, were you, mark. you know, you were saying harry, it's saying harry, harry, it's two steps and steps steps forwards and six steps back. feels a bit like that back. it feels a bit like that with doesn't with sunak, doesn't it? >> the steps back . >> the nine steps back. >> the nine steps back. >> right. to come, the >> right. still to come, the supreme that supreme court said that the government's is government's random plan is unlawful , as government's random plan is unlawful, as we've just been discussing. rishi sunak discussing. but rishi sunak insists press this discussing. but rishi sunak in britain's press this discussing. but rishi sunak in britain's newsroom this discussing. but rishi sunak in britain's newsroom on this

effectively sending back effectively sending them back to the where they've the country from where they've claimed . how this claimed asylum. how will this treaty and the emergency legislation that comes forward get around that ? get around that? >> the government says that rwanda will promise not to send them away from rwanda somewhere where they may end up, where they came from, which is the country that they have fled from and where they are in danger. so this is this concept of refoulement, which means sending you back to somewhere where you are in danger and the government says this treaty will be will guarantee this won't happen. the problem is, and this is what the supreme court identified in the judgement yesterday, k yan, the government of rwanda control what happens on the ground because there were examples of deals that rwanda has done in the past with israel about a decade ago which didn't work out, and the supreme court is not convinced that rwanda can actually achieve this. >> he also said , and we all >> he also said, and we all cheered it when he said, i am
10:25 am
not going to allow a foreign court to take to the british parliament. oh, fabulous prime, at last you've got your act together. but it's not just that, is it the european court, it's other treaties as well. that's supreme court that's what the supreme court justices yesterday . justices said yesterday. >> that's absolutely crucial. this is would be a breach of human rights to send somebody back to somewhere where they face danger. no doubt about that. it's a breach of the that. but it's a breach of the refugee convention other international agreements, the supreme court yesterday it supreme court said yesterday it may part of customary may even be part of customary law. so even if you were to pull out of all these agreements, you wouldn't necessarily avoid your obligation. government, obligation. the uk government, we're to send we're talking about not to send somebody back to danger. >> and if supreme court >> and if the supreme court comes again and says , oh, comes down again and says, oh, good try, prime minister, but we still don't accept it, we're rejecting can british rejecting it, can the british government say , thanks very government say, thanks very much, getting the much, they're getting on the next flight, not to the supreme court, because that would be a breach of the laws of the united kingdom. >> but you ask about what a foreign court and what the prime
10:26 am
minister seems to be talking about. are these temporary orders from the strasbourg judges? there was one last summer which blocked the flights . they're worried about one now. now, james cleverly, the home secretary says we've got this new understand standing with the european court, new wording for rule 39, published earlier this week by people at the court say it simply sets out current practice. it doesn't make any real difference, but nevertheless, the government is entitled to think that maybe the court is going to think twice before blocking ing a flight, knowing how the prime minister feels about that . feels about that. >> if but if this can be done now, if this treaty can be drawn up and passed by parliament, why didn't rishi sunak do that 12 months ago and save the taxpayer a fortune in legal fees? >> a very good question. they thought that if they did this informal agreement, it would be eafien informal agreement, it would be easier. now, one of the critics of the government writing in the spectator yesterday is a man
10:27 am
called alexander horne said the problem with an informal deal memorandum of understanding is it doesn't go before parliament. it doesn't any scrutiny in it doesn't get any scrutiny in parliament. this treaty will be scrutinised, particularly as a specific committee in the house of lords that scrutinises all treaties. it will be debated perhaps other words, it's perhaps in other words, it's much easier to get an informal agreement than it is a formal treaty and perhaps the government thought, well, we'll cut the corners and we'll just do it that way. >> is going to take months >> this is going to take months and months. joshua and months and months. joshua and i can't from and still i can't see from anything you've told today anything you've told us today how to see off the how they're going to see off the supreme court. well i think that's right. >> it has rishi sunak >> but it has got rishi sunak the headlines this morning . some the headlines this morning. some time himself some time . time bought himself some time. you know, otherwise the headunes you know, otherwise the headlines would defeat headlines would have been defeat for the government. now the headunes for the government. now the headlines define headlines are this is define sunak vows to change laws . top sunak vows to change laws. top court strikes down rwanda policy and that's the financial times. so in other words, you know, he's got time. he's got the prospect of winning. but you're right, it is going to take time. there will be further legal challenge. his it doesn't
10:28 am
necessarily mean they're going challenge. his it doesn't ne be sarily mean they're going challenge. his it doesn't ne be sarily nbefore iey're going challenge. his it doesn't ne be sarily nbefore the e going election. >> and i suppose politically, you're not here to talk about the politics of it, joshua, but political. it's the british government fighting the judiciary get its way judiciary to try and get its way on refugees. >> yes. mean it. fortunately, >> yes. i mean it. fortunately, if i may say so, they're not being too aggressive towards the uk supreme court. rishi sunak doesn't agree, but he respects the decision of court. the decision of the court. they're being little bit more they're being a little bit more aggressive to the strasbourg court we're take court saying we're going to take you still not you on, but they're still not seriously suggesting pulling out of human rights convention. of the human rights convention. >> we're never going to do that with the government. >> this so interesting, isn't >> this is so interesting, isn't it? because asylum seekers, it? because this asylum seekers, illegal immigration conversation, however you want to people , has to define those people, has changed in recent times from being about morality to being one about morality to being one about morality to being one about legality. it seems people rarely, rarely seems people very rarely, rarely hear politicians anymore talking about the morality of this issue in your experience and in your vast knowledge of the law , what vast knowledge of the law, what would you do? what what can we do that is within the law? can
10:29 am
we turn back the boats? that's one proposal we often hear, particularly from the reform party. i suppose this may be a cop out, but i might say i wouldn't have started from here. >> if there is only one country in the world which it appears is willing to take asylum seekers from the uk, and if there were others, presumably the government would have found one. and that has and if that country has a dubious record as a supreme court has said, maybe it's time to think this is not the policy. if this policy has not deterred the boat people over the past yean the boat people over the past year, which it has not apparently , then maybe you need apparently, then maybe you need to think of something else. >> do you have any ideas ? >> do you have any ideas? >> do you have any ideas? >> i mean, i think that keir starmer is talking about bringing in a limited number of people and having an agreement with france whereby will take some, but not everybody and france can enforce that sort of agreement. i don't know how practical that is, but this policy is running into difficulties. >> my heart sank when i heard somebody close to number 10 saying, we're going to find
10:30 am
another country. i just thought , another country. i just thought, no, please, can't . no, no, ho. 110. >> no. >> and they and they haven't, have they quite. no. i mean, maybe that's a political decision. maybe there isn't anywhere else. >> suella braverman. i'm told, was about the falkland was thinking about the falkland islands. to islands. what did they do to deserve they mrs. thatcher deserve it? they mrs. thatcher liberated them from dreaded liberated them from the dreaded galtieri last thing so is lundy island occupied ? island occupied? >> well, the ascension islands . >> well, the ascension islands. joking is one that is often brought up as somewhere that people could at least be processed. but what would the legalities of that be? >> joshua well, that's that i've been ascension on way to been to ascension on the way to the falkland islands many years ago, and ascension is , is has ago, so and ascension is, is has all sorts of security aspects. >> you know, it's a listening station , it's a bbc base, it's station, it's a bbc base, it's a military base. it's an air base may not be entirely suitable. and there's nothing there. and the uk doesn't control it. falklands again, i mean, british overseas territory is it? but you can't actually insist that it has a measure of self—government . and also it's self—government. and also it's very expensive to send people

given that it was a kind of impromptu one late at night. but i think the stuff that's happened at the cenotaph this is the kind of thing that's suella braverman was talking about policing. yeah. and this is the thing that's made so many people so angry that they want to see police on these police acting on these occasions. get very angry occasions. they get very angry when just standing when they see them just standing back. that's part of the back. and that's part of the frustration at frustration that we've got at the moment. frustration that we've got at the now, ent. frustration that we've got at the now, you were in the press >> now, you were in the press conference last night, birds eye view phone. view of you on your phone. i think the prime minister think while the prime minister was talking, surely not? was talking, was he surely not? was boring? and it was a was he that boring? and it was a bravura performance, wasn't it? and really went for it. and and he really went for it. and he's fighting it's for the he's fighting back. it's for the birds. no boats getting birds. there's no boats getting go time soon. go any time soon. >> i think . look, i mean, >> i think. look, i mean, i would lay £50 on no fly ever taking off to rwanda. yeah. even taking off to rwanda. yeah. ever, ever . i know the prime ever, ever. i know the prime minister would heavily dispute that, but i think what we're just going to go round and round and round in this legal quagmire , even if you introduce an emergency legislation , i don't emergency legislation, i don't think that probably is enough to satisfy by all the courts the
10:42 am
supreme court, the european court in strasbourg , the un. court in strasbourg, the un. yeah. yeah exactly. and so actually, i think doesn't matter. the prime minister has good intentions, but you have to start delivering on this. he has got very limited time to deliver on it. people are very, very frustrated and he couldn't explain to me. asked him, can explain to me. i asked him, can you explain to me how you were going define the european going to define the european courts? said, i'm not going courts? he said, i'm not going to take any orders of a foreign court, but couldn't tell me court, but he couldn't tell me what a soundbite he nothing what a soundbite he said nothing about you think we're >> carol, do you think we're going back any of our going to get back any of our £140 million? we've already given rwanda? £140 million? we've already giv
10:43 am
the . the legislation. >> know, today a lot of >> you know, today a lot of experts you have to experts are saying you have to leave echr in its entirety. leave the echr in its entirety. you have to also abandon all the treaties as well. do treaties as well. but let's do that then cited yesterday and we know not going do that. know he's not going to do that. he a home secretary who he now has a home secretary who has that we should not has said that we should not leave eu the foreign leave the eu and the foreign secretary never agree, secretary will never agree, which ridiculous. but you which is ridiculous. but you know me is that know what gets me is that i think it's finished for him now. i what happened week i think what happened this week is of cabinet and is his joke of a cabinet and that a speech yesterday that joke of a speech yesterday completely everything completely confirms everything suella him. you suella has said about him. you know, my question is, okay, know, and my question is, okay, the judges have ruled on this, but should judges have the power to determine policy? and my answer to that is no, they weren't making a judgement on on something on something that happenedin something on something that happened in europe. a european law , not on british law. and law, not on british law. and a democracy, should have the right to determine who does and who doesn't come into its country. and we are being denied the right to do that. and sunak is shouting, oh, we're not going to let a foreign foreign court decide this, but we are as long
10:44 am
as we're in the echr. >> i think it doesn't even >> but i think it doesn't even matter echr because matter about the echr because how ever going get the how is he ever going to get the supreme on side? they have supreme court on side? they have made their mind up that rwanda cannot trusted to send cannot be trusted to send people back country from where back to the country from where they how ever they came. so how is he ever going to round that? well, going to get round that? well, that's it. going to get round that? well, tha and. court relied heavily >> and the court relied heavily on evidence the un high on evidence from the un high commission on refugees who have, by way, sent refugees to by the way, sent refugees to rwanda and have completely and said has an exemplary said clearly it has an exemplary record with refugees. >> yes. >> yes. >> but also it it has been against this policy in the uk from the start. so it's hard tonight to not look at this and think that there is something more political. i don't think the court is political, but i think the un's input there is political and to rely on that is something that upsets a lot of conservative mps and also experts in this area. so i think that's that's a problem. so actually, if you go through the court process again, what's to stop the un doing something similar again and the court relying on that again, back relying on that again, go back to one that rwanda isn't relying on that again, go back tcsafe one that rwanda isn't relying on that again, go back tcsafe country. hat rwanda isn't a safe country. >> you know, britain, britain
10:45 am
cannot held responsible for cannot be held responsible for the world's problems. we can't legislate on what we think might happen to someone if they get sent back to their own country. alastair heath did a really good piece telegraph today and piece in the telegraph today and he's talking about this refoulement principle. he he's talking about this refotit�*ment principle. he he's talking about this refotit onlyt principle. he he's talking about this refotit only madeiple. he he's talking about this refotit only made sense he he's talking about this refotit only made sense after|e said it only made sense after the second world war and it was supported by the and the supported by the right and the left all parties all over left of all parties all over europe because it was to protect refugees who in europe. europe because it was to protect refugsayingio in europe. europe because it was to protect refugsaying it in europe. europe because it was to protect refugsaying it doesn't europe. europe because it was to protect refugsaying it doesn't makez. he's saying it doesn't make sense now. it's fit for sense now. it's not fit for purpose anymore. it's just not. and think he's right. and yet and i think he's right. and yet we're basing our policy or our ability to get rid of these these migrants on something that was designed for refugees was only designed for refugees dunng was only designed for refugees during the second world war. >> but there is i say, what about these tory mps ? about these tory mps? >> because the mood was sulphurous yesterday, wasn't it? it have. bought it would have. he's bought himself time, but they himself a bit of time, but they know their hearts don't they? know in their hearts don't they? i it's not going to i think it's not going to happen. >> it's this on top of suella braverman the sacking and it's not so much really the individual. >> it's not so much actually about suella herself. it's about
10:46 am
the symbol, the reshuffle , the the symbol, the reshuffle, the removal of that big figure on the right in the cabinet. there is no longer a big figure of a similar kind of status to her from the right in the cabinet. so you put all that together and then you put it together with then you put it together with the rwanda judgement, which now is very unlikely, a flight will take off. and those on the take off. and those mps on the right, who represent red right, those who represent red wall, they incredibly frustrated. very frustrated. they feel very depressed. one told me that the reshuffle is essentially guaranteed that they would lose their but and they're very their seat, but and they're very they feel strongly enough to change kick him out . change him, to kick him out. >> no, they know it's a busted flush. they lost the red wall at a stroke in a sacking suella. and what it tells me is the people in government have no idea the people idea about the people they govern. have idea how govern. they have no idea how they think. >> do not think, perhaps, >> do you not think, perhaps, malone they'd has already decided. >> what was it we said the other day? already decided day? he'd already decided sunderland he's now sunderland is lost. he's now trying desperately given up trying to desperately given up on see is. ithink trying to desperately given up on see is. i think he >> see what it is. i think he knows it's over. i mean, i think he knows it's finished. you

11:11 am
uk to rwanda, where they'd be sent off to that country. so so you weren't surprised by the ruling at all? >> well, on the face of the evidence, no. mean, the judges evidence, no. i mean, the judges were clear there was were very clear that there was sufficient evidence give sufficient evidence to give grounds to believe that grounds for them to believe that there of what is there would be a risk of what is called refoulement . and think called refoulement. and i think on the that judgement on the evidence that judgement can't be faulted. what matters now is those concerns be now is can those concerns be addressed? think they possibly addressed? i think they possibly can.the addressed? i think they possibly can. the prime minister has set out what sounds like a out what i think sounds like a perfectly coherent plan. a lot will depend and on the detail both of the treaty and the bill he proposes. but it's a perfect, coherent way forward. and i'm delighted the prime minister has now decided to grip this very important issue. and you think his idea can work to upgrade a memorandum of understanding with rwanda a full blown treaty rwanda to a full blown treaty and pass it through the building behind you, parliament in, say, 40 or so days and then maybe the first take off as late first flights take off as late as may. >> said last night in number 10. >> well, it's difficult for me to anticipate or predict a timetable. what i'm saying is
11:12 am
that the program that he's set out out a treaty and the out out of a treaty and the content of that treaty will be important . it content of that treaty will be important. it must content of that treaty will be important . it must clearly have important. it must clearly have further safeguards. the fact it's a treaty itself will answer one objection that the supreme court had, which is that it was an unenforceable memorandum of understanding . but there must be understanding. but there must be more in that treaty to address the facts . but once those facts the facts. but once those facts have been changed, once there are additional safeguards, i think it's perfectly legitimate for parliament to be the institution that decides that it's the supreme law making authority in this country . and i authority in this country. and i think the prime minister is right to say that it should decide. now, you're quite right. if, chris, of course, chris, whether the house of lords seeks to impede its progress, whether it object acts and whether it bogsit it object acts and whether it bogs it down is another matter. but i think the prime minister is setting out probably the only plan available to him . plan available to him. >> i mean, the peers might object to the fact that the five courts have ruled unanimously against the plan. the
11:13 am
government's response is to change law and force them to change the law and force them to accept and peers behind accept it and peers behind you in building object to that. >> well, that isn't, of course, all that's being proposed. and i would that that would agree if that was all that was being proposed, it would be quite wrong, i think, to quite wrong, i think, just to declare black white say declare black as white and say that the facts , we can that on the same facts, we can say this country is safe. say that this country is safe. but that is not what i understand. and the government's plan to be. see, the plan is to address some of these concerns, both in the treaty and outside it. there are plenty of ways of doing it. imaginative ways were found in the withdrawal agreement after brexit by setting up a commission that looks after and protects the rights of eu citizens here. well, if we can find imaginative solutions inside a treaty that changes the facts , yes, i can't changes the facts, yes, i can't see a real substantial objection to the prime minister's proposals, but a lot will depend on the detail. >> but of course your mp, you're a leading lawyer, a leading barrister, also an mp for many years standing in the west country. how important is it
11:14 am
that mr sunak gets this through and these flights and gets these flights taken off before election? look before the next election? look there's confidence there's a crisis of confidence in the entire system , and we in the entire system, and we can't simply turn away from it. >> the government is addressing the problem in multiple ways. it's reduced by 20,000. those coming across the channel, it's reduced the backlog by 40, 50,000. and it's making real progress. but we have to see is this nettle and there is a political crisis of confidence that needs to be addressed and it can only be addressed. i think , by the prime minister put think, by the prime minister put this to parliament both in the form of a treaty and in the form of a bill saying that this must now happen and the courts, faced with primary legislation would respect it . respect it. >> as a lawyer, as a former attorney general, though, why now? why is plan b emerging now? why do all this? a year ago, as maybe suella braverman and boris johnson have been saying for while? >> well, i think it was perfectly reasonable , al, to see
11:15 am
perfectly reasonable, al, to see whether or not the existing arrangements that had been reached with rwanda would suffice . yes, but i agree with suffice. yes, but i agree with the implication of your question. i am troubled that the court identified side serious weaknesses in the approach of the home office a year or so ago to the preparation portion of its case. for example , all the its case. for example, all the country policy information notes were regarded as inadequate by the supreme court. that's the guidance that exists in connection with rwanda. it hadnt connection with rwanda. it hadn't looked sufficiently at the practicalities of the asylum system there. it hadn't looked at the previous experience with israel. so i agree that there were shortcomings there, which i'm surprised at. but there's no reason why we shouldn't address them now. the treat he may very well be able to tackle many of those concerns and change the balance of the equation in. i hopeit balance of the equation in. i hope it will. we have to remember, chris, that the lord
11:16 am
chief justice decided in his view that this was acceptable and lawful. we can't be far away when distinguished judges reach different conclusions . and i different conclusions. and i think the time has now come . think the time has now come. prime has plainly decided that to grasp this nettle and as he got at it in him, the daily mail today says his eyes are burning with with cold with fury about this. >> you know the guy who's your leader, how can he get this over the line ? the line? >> i think he's slow to anger. but we saw at certain points in the leadership election that when the fire started, he's capable of sparking into energy and life . he's a very competent and life. he's a very competent i think, very reasonable, very moderate man. but i think he has the bit between his teeth and i say good luck to him. and i shall certainly support him. it will depend on the detail of the treaty. it will depend on the bill. but i think it's a recipe that could work. and one final
11:17 am
question to you, sir jeffrey, in one word, will flights take off for rwanda before the next election? you're asking me to bet . i think election? you're asking me to bet. i think there's a good chance that's not one word. that's 4 or 5. but i think there's a good chance if we seize this nettle grip it, and move forward swiftly . move forward swiftly. >> well, geoffrey cox, thank you for joining us today on gb news. forjoining us today on gb news. and as we heard there, seizing the nettle is what sir geoffrey cox thinks mr sunak must try and do. he thinks he can see some fire in belly . let's wait fire in his belly. let's wait and see. over to you. back to you, and bev. you, andrew and bev. >> interesting , chris, >> really interesting, chris, chris, that. geoffrey chris, thanks for that. geoffrey cox figure, cox is a very formidable figure, a brain the size of a planet. i don't know when he quite fits in being an mp because i think he's average earnings as a barrister on the side of being an mp around £900,000 a year. very nice to a very clever man . nice to a very clever man. >> good for him. yeah, i like him a lot now, second time lucky. >> here is the clip of gb news presenter lee anderson reacting to the rwanda ruling. we need to make sure that the laws and rishi said we're going to change
11:18 am
the more legislation to the law more legislation to make it watertight. >> here's the thing. here's >> but here's the thing. here's the the people the thing, patrick. the people in ashfield, in this in ashfield, the people in this country up to the back country are fed up to the back teeth of these illegal migration. it's coming up in this taking the make, this country taking the make, the stopping in hotels. they're costing us an absolute fortune and i've always said i've been consistent from day one. we should send back the same should send them back the same day. did that, they'd stop coming. >> so you are doubling down on your comments ignore your comments earlier, ignore the get the facts. the law, get the facts. >> i've never changed my mind on this from day one. they this from from day one. they should sent back the same day i >> -- >> well, -_ >> well, i'm 5mm >> well, i'm i completely agree with him. and it's just a pity we didn't. and then the european court could have gone got their proverbials a so what? proverbials in a twist. so what? >> come this >> right. still to come this morning, the final season of netflix royal the crown netflix royal drama, the crown opensin netflix royal drama, the crown opens in 1997. it's on the cusp of one of the most analysed penodsin of one of the most analysed periods in recent history. but is it fact or fiction? we're going to be discussing that with
11:19 am
britain's
11:20 am
11:21 am
11:22 am
and people that i knew had dewbs & co weeknights from . & co weeknights from. six 1122 with britain's news on gb news with britain's news on gb news with andrew pierce and bev turner. >> so the first half of the final season of the crown is being launched this week. let's have a look at what is in store. >> i don't really understand how iended >> i don't really understand how i ended up . here dashing around . i ended up. here dashing around. and losing sight of myself in
11:23 am
the process . no, i think that's the process. no, i think that's been the story of my whole life . been the story of my whole life. >> that makes me haunting, isn't it? goosebumps is how realistic the voice and the body and body language is. >> well, join us in the studio as our royal correspondent cameron walker, and the former royal correspondent, the sun, charles rea. charles, want to talk you talk to you first. charles, you knew you talked to knew diana well. you talked to her. you saw her. the likeness of elizabeth debicki, the actress playing her is uncanny . actress playing her is uncanny. >> it is uncanny. and she's the best one of the lot to have played diana. so, so far, there's no question about the fact that she's a very, very elegant has has managed to get the mannerisms. >> and charles, you covered you covered it when the princess was killed in that crash , the love killed in that crash, the love story or whether it wasn't a love story, is it legitimate for it to be a part a big part of the netflix program ?
11:24 am
the netflix program? >> um, i'm hesitating because there have been other films, other dramas which which have shown people have died . shown people have died. >> so i suppose that it's shown is the is the problem . is the is the problem. >> um, cameron walker, you've seen some of this . seen some of this. >> how delicately do they manage this really tricky storyline of the death of princess diana ? the death of princess diana? >> i think it's as sensitive as it possibly could be when you are when you are portraying dramatic early, the death of somebody in a car crash. so just i don't know, it's a bit of a spoiler alert, but they do not show diana's death are dead and they do not show the crash itself or even the aftermath of a mangled up car. if you've seen that news footage from the time what they do show is the outside of the tunnel , all the car of the tunnel, all the car speeding into the tunnel, and then the sound of the crash. but there is no gory details. it is sensitive , done as i think they
11:25 am
sensitive, done as i think they possibly could do . possibly could do. >> charles, i was going to ask you, there's going to be the usual fuss. and one of the reasons i stopped the reasons i stopped watching the crown, charles, i just got fed up the fact that so many up with the fact that so many things didn't happen the way it's but course, i it's portrayed. but of course, i have to myself and remind have to pinch myself and remind myself not myself it's a drama. it's not meant an historical meant to be an historical account, you're absolutely account, but you're absolutely right, andrew, and i'm i'm furious because i've seen the first part and there is a part where she comes out to a boat, a boat that was on. >> and i'm annoyed that i haven't been portrayed by robert redford or brad pitt . redford or brad pitt. >> be serious. >> be serious. >> they have distorted that that that event out of all context. i mean, she comes across like some brazier model and says, hello, boys , this didn't happen . um, boys, this didn't happen. um, and there was a very serious discussion because when she came to see us, she was very angry , to see us, she was very angry, not at us, but she'd had a phone call minutes before hand and she
11:26 am
was furious. that phone call . was furious. that phone call. and that's the place where she said at the end, you will be surprised with the very next thing i do. >> uh, but the rest of it is, is my view is rubbish . my view is rubbish. >> the problem with the crown is it takes real life issues and then distorts them with tasteless distortions and errors. and they masquerade it as quality drama . as quality drama. >> cameron you would think that this particular issue, these last few staged of diana's life could would be one of the most fun , factually accurate parts of fun, factually accurate parts of the crown because of course, this involves the death of two people. it involves a driver behind the wheel who had drunk too much henri paul. and so this should be this should have more veracity maybe than other episode that might be dealing with stuff that is just just speculation . this has been speculation. this has been pretty well documented. yeah >> and i think it's certainly going to be the most uncomfortable series so far for the royal family. but we do have to remember that. okay, the crown is an amazing drama, but
11:27 am
it is very much fiction based on fact. and we do not know what was said behind closed doors. we know from the inquest into the deaths of princess diana and dodi al—fayed that the reason for the crash was the fact that the car was driving erratically. they were being chased by paparazzi. the driver was drunk. they weren't wearing seatbelt . they weren't wearing seatbelt. yes, all that. how much are yes, all of that. how much are they going to go into in in the crown? we don't know. and i think there perhaps is also a danger that maybe danger that that viewers maybe not in the uk who have not so much in the uk who have obviously with the obviously grown up with the royal family, but the international audience are going to said in the crown to take what's said in the crown as facts. and then that's going to their opinions of to distort their opinions of actual of the royal actual members of the royal family who are still very much alive family who are still very much alivcharles, a very >> charles, that's a very important isn't it, that important point, isn't it, that cameron making of cameron walker's making a lot of people, particularly the american audience, for the crown, that's what crown, will think that's what really yes really happened. yes >> yes, that's that's true. but let's not forget, there's quite a few people in this country who look at the crown and think it
11:28 am
is an historical drama and is and as we used to say, andrew, fred , in fact, the whole the fred, in fact, the whole the whole thing is actually everything that happened and it didn't . didn't. >> cameron, let me ask you, because andrew and i were laughing in the production meeting this morning about the fact that you weren't even born. cameron or maybe were just cameron or maybe you were just not when princess not long born when princess diana lost her life. but diana sadly lost her life. but when that was the front page story of every every paper in the world, actually, at that particular point , how particular point, how interesting is it to you, this element of the royal family, doesit element of the royal family, does it still stand out for you as a royal correspondent, as one of the most significant moments in the history? >> absolutely. i was nine months old when diana died, so it made me feel old. i don't remember me feel so old. i don't remember her. reports, nine months, her. the reports, nine months, her. the reports, nine months, her death. yes, am young, but her death. yes, i am young, but i think diana's legacy is still very much there because, of course, prince william does all this work with homelessness. his first patronage was centrepoint, which his mother, diana, took him to. and inspired him to help
11:29 am
more vulnerable people in society. prince harry, as well, has at length talked about the impact that his mother had on him. and i think perhaps we can see parts of diana from in in her two sons. so i think she's still very much part of the conversation . and i think when conversation. and i think when william becomes king as well, there's no way he's going to let his mother's legacy die. yeah, charles, you covering that story? >> it was i mean, i was involved in the story. i was working for the times back then. there were some people who thought the monarchy would not survive the death of diana those horrific death of diana in those horrific circumstances. here we are, circumstances. but here we are, 25 odd years later , and it's 25 odd years later, and it's still going strong . still going strong. >> well, first of all, bev, thanks for making me feel very, very old. >> oh, all of us. all of us. >> charles, i much appreciate it. but you're absolutely right. you know, when diana died , there you know, when diana died, there was a great feeling that by a great many people that it was it was curtains for the monarchy
11:30 am
really , that it was the end. and really, that it was the end. and you're absolutely right. here we are, 26 later. we have a new king. we have a new queen. the monarchy will survive as it has survived everything else that it's happened. and they always say andrew and bev time is a great healer. >> yeah. yeah. i'm surprised , >> yeah. yeah. i'm surprised, actually, cameron, that this is the last series is in a way. but i guess how how modern can they go ? because of course, the next go? because of course, the next generation is william and harry and frankly, their life is stranger than drama anyway . most times. >> yeah, i think it's getting way too close to home now. so we know that the series is going to end with the wedding of the then camilla parker—bowles and prince charles, now, of course, king and queen. so it's going end and queen. so it's going to end on a note , perhaps the on a happy note, perhaps the pubuc on a happy note, perhaps the public indeed queen public and indeed queen elizabeth accepting camilla elizabeth ii, accepting camilla as the loving wife of the future king. so it is going to end happily. but of course, you've had all this turmoil from the early 90s and, of course, diana's death as well. >> all right. that was charles rea, royal editor, and
11:31 am

11:39 am
moment in court. but what it happened was they were tabled its own rather worse motion talking about longer humanitarian pauses. exactly the government policy is exactly what andrew mitchell was saying yesterday. what macron was saying the other day longer pauses to evacuate women and children , and the tories piled children, and the tories piled in. although it was sunak's policy to defeat labour, to give labour a profit. but what they really wanted was to ensure then that the snp motion was called with a magic word ceasefire in it. what the difference between a ceasefire and a cessation? i don't know . don't know. >> but it is a difference triggered . triggered. >> yeah. there's 56 mps didn't back him more for against blair. very early on in blair with lone parents benefit bit i mean beverly was only at school then you'll remember it i do and it was very embarrassing. it does happen and what we the big change is you can see that in campuses. you can see that in america. you can see that all over europe, all over the democratic world. we now have
